Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Chapter 76 Choice

"Hehe, Wang Liao, you should take a long-term view and don't stick to one moment and one place. In the short term, we still need Situ Biao's support, and we also need him to launch an offensive in the east to attract Situ Tai's attention. To reduce our pressure in the north, Cheng Dayou has been refusing to make a clear statement. There is no news so far. I guess Wang Jiexiu's trip may not be able to achieve much effect. We can't pin our hopes on one person. Since we If he is not willing to go on the Yangguan Road, let him go on the single-plank bridge. I, Li Wufeng, never force others. I hope that Situ Biao can achieve satisfactory results in Quanzhou, Jiujiang and Huzhou. If we don’t give him With enough support, how can he help consume the power of some potential enemies?" Wu Feng waved his hand, smiled and met Wang Liao's somewhat dissatisfied gaze.

"Your Highness, but this subordinate thinks that we have made too many concessions. In some respects, the Five Lakes side could have made some compromises, but with our attitude, they have become unwilling to make concessions. In this way, our efforts, especially in the The financial expenditure will increase a lot." Wang Liao is not moved by Wufeng's attitude, his temperament is like this, once a decision is made, he will carry it out without any compromise, but when discussing, he also He will not shy away from putting forward his own views, "For example, in terms of tariffs, since we are required to provide huge loan guarantees for Wuhu, but we are not willing to make concessions on tariff rates, we only use tariffs as a guarantee, and the interest rate is so low. I'm afraid that James will jump up and scold his mother when he goes back. There are also too many restrictions on the Free Navigation Agreement on Waterways, which greatly restricts our surveying and mapping of waterway information in the Five Lakes area. This is not only affecting us in terms of industry and commerce. , there are also disadvantages in the military.”

"Well, in some respects, everyone may feel that we are too weak or have made too many concessions. This is not surprising. It is not easy for you to achieve a win-win situation in terms of interests, especially in this background Next, Situ Biao also knows that we need his help. In fact, both of us are clear about our respective calculations. There will be a battle between the two sides, but everyone's mind is to use it to grow as much as possible in the short period of time in the future. For yourself, fight for a little more strength for yourself, fortunately, there is a little more chance of winning in the final battle. It is not bad that such a deal can reach this level, not to mention that you can't expect anyone to abide by this kind of agreement, at least I don't think Situ Biao can do it completely, if you push too hard, it will only backfire." Wufeng considered his words, "Let's say something here, as long as we really start a full-scale war with Situ Tai, Situ Biao's fox tail It's about to be revealed, I'm afraid Situ Biao has been thinking about being a fisherman for a long time in the bottom of his heart."

Both Su Qin and Wang Liao were silent for a while. The country was originally fought out of blood and fire. Negotiations are just a supplementary way to obtain benefits. It has never been possible to achieve the goal with just a few words. It seems that His Royal Highness King Qin has seen this farther than anyone else, and has long been mentally prepared.

Seemingly feeling that his words were a little vague, Wufeng paused again before saying: "As for the loan to Wuhu, although the amount is a bit larger, we can make some restrictions on conditions and time , for example, part of it must be used for non-military purposes, such as agriculture, infrastructure construction, etc. We can control the time more flexibly, for example, how much is the first tranche, how long will the second tranche and the third tranche be after the first tranche In this way, we can have sufficient room to observe Situ Biao's performance. If he does not perform well, we can suspend or even cancel the loan because he has not fulfilled his promise. In this way, it is equivalent to a rope around his throat. Control his life and death, but once he has the first sum, the desire to get the second sum will torture him extremely."

Wufeng's words once again let the two diplomats see the cunning methods of their bosses. In this way, if Wuhu's side wants to get a full loan, they must act according to their own ideas, at least Don't be too outrageous in your actions.

"My lord, I take it that you mean that you plan to break up with Situ Tai in the near future?"

This question has actually been entangled in Su Qin's mind for a long time. Now the situation in the imperial capital has gradually become clear. Although Situ Yuan is about to ascend the throne, in reality, Situ Yuan can only reach the level of Situ Lang at the maximum. , especially after the First Division of Situ Tai's First Legion entered the imperial capital and essentially controlled the North Gate, this phenomenon became more and more obvious. The impact on Situ Tai's reputation is not small, but after all, Situ Tai failed to ascend the throne, even if there are some unclear promises, it can no longer be a heavy weapon against him. What's more, public opinion was also influenced by the elders and nobles, and gradually changed their opinions, and there were many fewer people who were entangled with Situ Tai's various actions. Under such circumstances, if Situ Yuan wants to compete with Situ Tai, who is increasingly exerting great influence, he has to rely more and more on Xijiang and Wuhu, especially the military affairs rectification that will be implemented after he ascends the throne is a big fire The yao barrel may explode at any time. In this case, it seems that there is a better excuse for choosing to break up with Situ Tai, at least in the sense of righteousness, he will not be attacked.

"Well, now the political situation in the imperial capital seems to have entered a dead end. The huge military organization has overwhelmed the imperial finances, and these armies are not in the hands of the imperial central government. They may become a serious problem at any time. You said Situ Will Yuan be willing? The information that Situ Yuan reported to us also reveals that he has a lot of ambition. It seems that he is not willing to be such an emperor who is dominated by others. What is the purpose of reducing the army? Probably to build an army loyal to him Right." Wu Feng seems to have not yet made a final decision on this issue, "Of course Situ Tai will not agree with him to do this, with the help and support of those elders, nobles and powerful families in the imperial capital, Situ Tai is now in the third and eighth rank of the empire. The Ninth Army has infiltrated very strongly, especially the Third Army. At least three division heads have sworn allegiance to him, and there are reports that Yusuf has hooked up with Situ Tai again. From this point of view, although the imperial capital is not considered The powerful military forces seem to be leaning towards Situ Tai, so he will definitely use his influence to obstruct this plan, and if the stalemate fails, then it may be time for us to draw our swords and help His Majesty the Emperor."

"Your Highness, have you considered if we intervene in this war, what will happen to Luzon? It is a big taboo for military strategists to fight on two fronts, and the strength we currently have is not very sufficient. In this way It's easy to drag our hands and feet and restrict our movements." Su Qin asked back.

Yes, although the situation in the imperial capital is becoming more and more clear, the situation in Luzon has always been confusing and chaotic. Frederick's abnormal behavior makes Wufeng a little hesitant. If the allied forces of the Luobei people waited until the Luobei people invaded, then his current arrangement would appear a little thin, but his intuition told Wufeng himself that there seemed to be something strange in it. Judging from the current mobilization speed of the Luzonians and the Kominis, Frederick is at least suspected of letting the Kominis act as death squads to consume the power of the western border. Perhaps he wants to wait until the Kominis are in the west. Should the Western Xinjiang side come to a stalemate before attacking, or wait until the Luobei army sets foot on the East Tengger Grassland before launching a thunderous strike? It seems to be possible, but they don’t seem to be very similar. Even Wufeng regrets that he let Frederick go when they met~IndoMTL.com~ If he killed him at that time, at least he wouldn’t be like this now Difficulty and headache.

The problem facing Wufeng is that once there is a large-scale exchange of fire with Situ Tai, Luzon will definitely not be able to deploy more reinforcements. Can my own general reserve team for emergency use meet the needs? But let Wufeng put one or two legions as a reserve team, which consumes Wufeng and is unwilling, especially now that the conditions for seizing the initiative in the Central Plains are becoming more and more mature. According to Wufeng's thinking, in the The Heshuo Beiyuan Front should maintain at least two main army regiments that can be dragged into the battlefield to fight big battles at any time, and at least two or three cavalry regiments should be used as support, so that the current strength is not weaker than Situ Tai's army on his side. The Terok Legion seems to be under a lot of pressure now, but the long border line stretches from Yinchuan to Yulin, stretches over five prefectures and counties, more than a thousand miles, and one Jiayuguan has to be spared. The six divisions do not seem to be At least, if you really invest, one mansion can only spread out one division. Fortunately, there are still tens of thousands of Terok defense forces that can be used. Otherwise, this thin defense line, even Wufeng himself feels a little fragile.

Seeing that Wufeng was silent for a while, Su Qin also understood the interest, so he didn't want to go into details. It is difficult to distinguish the importance of the east and west lines. From the current point of view, the east line should be more important. However, the situation on the western front is even more severe, but if you concentrate your main force on the western front, you may miss the great opportunity on the eastern front. This kind of dilemma has never been a very good one since you set foot in the northwest and set foot in northern Luzon. Good balance, same now. If you want to make the right choice, you can only act randomly and make a temporary decision according to the changing situation.
