Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

Lin Yi looked at Gu Xianzhi in astonishment. He never expected that Gu Xianzhi, who always advocated peace as the most important thing, would actually say such a thing.

If it were a military person. Lin Yi wouldn't be so surprised. After all, only war can allow soldiers to be promoted quickly.

In a time of great strife, soldiers want to make contributions, and Lin Yi thinks it's understandable.

But what he didn't expect was that the words "want war" came from the mouth of an imperial diplomat, which somewhat surprised Lin Yi.

When Gu Xianzhi saw Lin Yi's surprise, he smiled at Lin Yi and said, "Your Majesty, this is actually quite understandable."

"I advocate peace as the most important thing. That's because the empire was not strong at that time and had no way to declare war on the great powers. Or after declaring war, it would be difficult for me, Daxia, to win."

"But once our empire is strong, why should we reason with the other party? A hard fist is the best reason."

"Master has a saying that virtue is used to conquer people, and Master's sword is called virtue."

Lin Yi heard Gu Xianzhi's words and called him a good guy.

Where did you hear all these crooked rumors?

However, if you look at it backwards, let alone say it, it makes sense.

Lin Yi is also a hawk. He believes that the truth lies within the range of the cannon.

But the problem is that in the Middle East, he is a bit evil and not suitable for intervention by force.

Thinking of this, Lin Yi also smiled and said to Gu Xianzhi: "Xianzhi, where did you hear these crooked rumors? If those old masters in the capital heard this, wouldn't they sue you?"

"Your Majesty, I am not just saying this. Master has said that if you repay kindness with kindness, how can you repay kindness with kindness? This means that we should repay hatred with hatred and repay hatred with hatred."

"Those foreigners were able to smash through the empire's coastal defenses, didn't they rely on the strength of their ships and the power of their guns, or the advanced weapons?"

"And now that the empire's strength has increased, why can't it turn around and smash open the doors of other countries?"

Listening to Gu Xianzhi's words, Lin Yi really couldn't imagine that this humble gentleman who denounced Sakura in the League of Nations in the original history also had such a violent side.

But for some reason, Lin Yi didn't feel disgusted, but liked it even more.

"Okay, let's not say these words for now. I want to tell you that the situation here is not suitable for your style." Lin Yi poured a glass of water for Gu Xianzhi, and then said slowly.

"Why?" Gu Xianzhi looked at Lin Yi strangely. In his opinion, there was nothing suitable or inappropriate.

Being unsuitable is nothing more than insufficient firepower and not beating the opponent badly enough.

"Let's put it this way, politics and religion are integrated here. You can experience the rest by yourself." Lin Yi said lightly.

As soon as he heard that politics and religion were integrated, Gu Xianzhi stopped talking.

Although he is a diplomat, he has been communicating with powerful countries in Europe all year round, and he is really unfamiliar with the Middle East.

However, despite being unfamiliar with it, he still has an understanding of the political system that integrates politics and religion. To put it simply, these people are a bunch of lunatics.

Seeing that Gu Xianzhi stopped talking, Lin Yi smiled and said, "Why, you know now?"

Gu Xianzhi still didn't speak, but he nodded.

"So, if the empire wants to control this place, it can only adopt a cooperative attitude with them. Let their own pope appease them."

"And you need to think about how to contact them now to ensure that the empire can get maximum benefits while paying the minimum cost."

"Your Majesty, I understand." Gu Xianzhi nodded.

However, I understood it, but the problem was that Gu Xianzhi still had a headache.

After all, he himself has never had any contact with the other party, so he doesn't understand anything.

Time, in this situation, passes little by little.

Lin Yi's Ocean Star passed through the Suez Canal and arrived at the Mediterranean Sea. He noticed some John's warships wandering outside the convoy.

But the two sides were far apart, and Lin Yi didn't care.

After all, he knew that the current Mediterranean Sea was, to put it bluntly, controlled by the John Empire and the Gallic Empire.

Therefore, it is normal to encounter the opponent's warship here. However, Lin Yi also felt that the other party did not dare to do anything to him.

If he really dares to take action, he will be targeted by the whole world.

Lin Yi felt that although Empire John was shameless, there was still a bottom line.

Besides, with Taizong here, even if you can't defeat him, no one can stop him from escaping.

Therefore, Lin Yi felt that the John Empire battleships wandering nearby were on the one hand escorting him, and on the other hand they were observing the empire's latest battleships.

After all, the power of the Taizong was vividly demonstrated in the battle with Milician on Oahu.

Just think about it, looking at the whole world now, which warship can take more than [-] rounds of artillery shells, but nothing happens?

Which country's warships can single-handedly fight against an entire fleet?

(It’s talking about the time when the Taizong blocked the outlet of Pearl Harbor on Oahu and fought against the entire American fleet.)

Therefore, Lin Yi concluded that these people definitely wanted to observe the Taizong at close range.

And is Lin Yi afraid that Taizong will be exposed?

Of course not, he even hoped to sell the blueprints to the other party and use all the national power of the John Kingdom on battleships.

Because John State had tried its best to build such a huge warship, it was destined to become a target for the imperial aircraft carrier.

The technological level of aircraft carriers is not as high as that of battleships. If a naval power devotes all its national resources to research and development, it will soon see results.

In order to prevent the other party from being in the mood to develop aircraft carriers, the only option is to let the other party build battleships.

Thinking of this, Lin Yi didn't care.

As the captain of the Taizong, Liu Yuxi naturally knew the future development direction of the empire's navy, so he didn't care.

I need to talk about Liu Yuxi here. He was a staunch battleship sect before and advocated giant ships and cannons.

However, after being taken to visit the aircraft carrier by Lin Yi and briefly testing the attack power of the aircraft carrier, Liu Yuxi became a staunch aircraft carrier fan.

Not only him, but most of the officers in the entire Yinglong Army believe that warships like aircraft carriers have changed the pattern of future naval battles.

Therefore, they all supported the empire's development of naval aviation.

Those John warships that were still wandering far away at first saw that Daxia did not seem to be driving them away, so they became more and more courageous and began to slowly move towards the escort fleet.

Those warships of the John Kingdom were just rubbing against each other little by little.

Finally, John's warship stopped less than one nautical mile away from the Daxia fleet.

Originally they wanted to get closer, but Liu Yuxi told them in a flag language that sailing within one mile of the sea would be regarded as a declaration of war against the empire.

Those John's warships that originally wanted to get closer could only stop one after another.

However, at such a distance, they could clearly observe this huge battleship.
