Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

"Welcome, Your Excellency the Prince."

Lin Yi's car just stopped outside a manor, and Hindenburg, who was waiting aside, walked up quickly and extended his right hand to Lin Yi.

When Lin Yi saw Hindenburg taking the initiative to shake hands with him, he also smiled and stretched out his hand, shaking hands with Hindenburg, as if they were two friends who had not seen each other for many years.

"Thank you very much, Marshal, for welcoming me. It makes me very honored." Lin Yi looked at Hindenburg and said with a smile.

"Your Majesty the Prince, you are so polite. This is as it should be. Originally, I planned to go to the station to greet His Highness, but I encountered some other things on the way, so I was delayed." Hindenburg said half-truthfully.

"Your Majesty, Marshal, you're welcome." Lin Yi said with a smile.

Lin Yi and Hindenburg exchanged pleasantries at the door of the manor, and then Hindenburg took Lin Yi into the manor.

This manor is Hindenburg's home. A cocktail party will be held here today.

At this time, there were already some officers from the Hans Empire in the manor, talking freely.

Lin Yi walked into the reception with his three princesses and immediately became the focus of everyone's attention.

Although the three princesses were a little uncomfortable, they dressed up for the trip and became the focus of everyone as soon as they entered the scene.

At this time, a waiter walked over quickly and whispered a few words in Hindenburg's ear. After hearing this, Hindenburg nodded and waved the waiter to leave.

"Your Excellency, Your Majesty wants to see you." Hindenburg lowered his voice and said to Lin Yi.

Lin Yi nodded, turned around and said a few words to his three princesses, and then followed Hindenburg to see Wilhelm II.

When Lin Yi met William II. Wilhelm II was in Hindenburg's study, looking at the map on the wall.

When he saw Lin Yi arriving, William II also laughed heartily.

"Welcome, my dear Prince, you are younger than I thought." William II looked at Lin Yi and said.

"It's an honor for me to meet His Majesty." Lin Yi also had a smile on his face.

"You go and greet the guests first." William II looked at Hindenburg and said.

Hindenburg knew that this was his Majesty and he had something to say to Lin Yi.

So Hindenburg nodded and closed the study door for the two of them.

When Hindenburg left, only Lin Yi and William II were left in the entire study.

"Come." William II said a word to Lin Yi, and then pulled Lin Yi back to the world map.

At this time, Lin Yi discovered that this world map was specially made and had used colors to entangle the territories of various countries.

The territory of Bactria is the same as it is now, including the Far East, southern Siberia, Southeast Asia and the Sumatra Islands.

In addition to the mainland of Europe, the territory of the Hans Empire also includes Southeast Africa and Madagascar, which Lin Yi told Crown Prince William before.

The newly added territory is almost as big as the Hans Empire itself.

Seeing this, Lin Yi couldn't help but sigh, William II's speed is indeed fast enough.

"I heard that Victor (the name of Crown Prince William) said that His Highness suggested that we exchange territories in Africa with John and Gaul, so I had someone make such a map."

"It seems that the empire's lands in Africa are indeed connected together. This suggestion is very good." Seeing Lin Yi looking at the map, William explained.

"So, Your Majesty is willing to exchange territory with the John Empire?" Lin Yi looked at William and asked.

"Of course." William nodded, and then continued: "I have already communicated with the marshal on this matter. The marshal also thinks that instead of spreading the land to the east and west, it is better to integrate it together."

"In this case, the empire can develop the new territory as its own territory. In this way, the empire will have a base in Africa that can be attacked when advancing and defended when retreating."

Having said this, William II turned his head, looked at Lin Yi and said, "But John may not be too willing to do this."

"After all, in this plan, 80% of the land is in the hands of the John people. It will not be easy to force them to agree to this plan."

"Indeed, John people are famous for their stubbornness. They have long been famous in the world for this." Lin Yi nodded after hearing William's words.

"So, Your Majesty wants to..."

"Yes, Your Excellency, the Hans Empire needs Daxia's support in this matter." William II looked at Lin Yi and said slowly.

As soon as Lin Yi heard William's words, he knew that William II wanted Daxia to work with the Hans Empire to put pressure on the John Empire and force them to agree to this plan.

Lin Yi nodded, then nodded to William II and said: "Of course, this territorial plan is reasonable in Daxia's eyes."

"Since it is a reasonable territorial request, Daxia will naturally support it."

Hearing that Lin Yi agreed to join him in putting pressure on John State, a smile appeared on his face.

Then his eyes fell on Southeast Asia, which marked the territory of Daxia, and his eyes revealed greed.

"Speaking of which, I really envy Daxia."

"The prestige and influence of the Daxia Empire in the Far East is not comparable to that of the Hans Empire. Daxia's territorial claims in Southeast Asia seem to have not been opposed by the locals."

Lin Yi heard William say this, and he also understood William's subtext.

Then, a smile also appeared on his face.

"Your Majesty is joking. This is all the work of the successive dynasties of Great Xia. It is not something that our generation can achieve."

When William II heard what Lin Yi said, he nodded, and after a while, he continued: "Daxia really plans to open up Southeast Asia?"

As soon as Lin Yi heard what William II said, he immediately understood that the reporter who was at the train station should have been arranged by William II.

At the same time, Lin Yi also lamented in his heart that William II was smart. Knowing that he couldn't hide this kind of thing for long, he simply told Lin Yi that he had arranged this matter himself.

In order to avoid embarrassment to both of them after Lin Yi investigates on his own.

Lin Yi smiled and nodded, and then continued: "Of course, since His Majesty already knows that Daxia is preparing to open the Southeast Asian market, he should also know Daxia's arrangements for Southeast Asia."

"Southeast Asia has been a tributary state of Daxia since ancient times. Although times have changed, no one can change this."

"Since Daxia is the suzerain state of Southeast Asian countries and a regional power, it is naturally its obligation to lead Southeast Asian countries to prosperity."

"Southeast Asia is a region with abundant supplies. Daxia cannot feed itself alone. If we want to quickly lead the people of Southeast Asia to become rich, we can only choose to open up the Southeast Asian market."

After listening to Lin Yi's words, William II was silent for a long time, and then nodded heavily.

"Since this is the choice of the Southeast Asian countries, the Hans Empire will respect the choices of the Southeast Asian countries."
