Aspirations for Nation and Beauty Chapter 2: Iron Horse Glacier Section 96 National Policy
Part Three Sweep** Chapter Two Iron Horse Glacier Section Ninety-sixth National Policy
Wang Liao returned to the imperial capital with a feeling of uneasiness. Since the establishment of the empire, even Wang Liao himself felt that the work of the foreign affairs department seemed to have come to a standstill, and the huge empire seemed to have spent all its energy on external expansion. In fact, the scope of diplomacy is limited to a rather narrow field. The frequent wars made the diplomatic department not know who should be the focus of their work for a while. The Indian kingdom was destroyed, the Principality of Meli disappeared, and the Liberian countries and the Machi Khan had lost their diplomatic significance. Hansen alliance? It seems that there are no diplomatic service representations like that; Sioran and Jutland? The mistrust never abated; Western Peninsula Alliance? The confrontation is still very tense. Although the flames of war have not been rekindled, it is difficult to say what the next step will be; the Japanese? There is no need; the only thing left is the Triple Alliance and the Nanyang Alliance.
Everything is dominated by military operations. Diplomacy has become a vassal of the military. There is no stable diplomatic continuation strategy. Wang Liao, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Empire, had a hard time sleeping, and he had to think twice before saying anything, so as not to give people the image of breaking his promise and getting fat.
Wang Liao does not think that the current policy of the empire is completely in line with the interests of the empire. Perhaps the expansion of the empire is necessary, but it does not require unlimited expansion. The complex ethnicities, religions, and customs of the mainland make it impossible Unification under one country, if that is the case, why should there be unlimited pursuit in this regard? Right now, the empire's land, ethnicity, and population have reached a limit, and perhaps the problems are all covered up by the empire's current superficial strength. If you calm down and investigate and analyze carefully, you will find that many lands newly brought under the rule of the empire have not been integrated into the empire as smoothly as the original Northern Luzon. national policy.
Insignificant land is no longer that important. What is the value of local empires like Daliao and Mawlamyine being ruled? Is it to enhance the overall national strength of the empire, or is it necessary to ensure that there are strategic materials that the empire is in short supply? None, seems to have served no purpose other than impoverishment and renewed commitment to Nanyang Alliance with no territorial ambitions. From a military point of view, it may indeed be necessary to guarantee a strategic passage, but why can't it be clearly stated to the Nanyang Alliance that the attitude is only temporarily occupied? The ambiguous strategy made him, the head of foreign affairs, also in a dilemma.
Wufeng has read this national policy proposal three times. He can even memorize many chapters and paragraphs, many questions he has thought about but have not really thought through, and many questions he has only scratched the surface, and more questions he has pondered but has not been able to come up with all aspects. They can come up with a comprehensive solution, maybe Wang Liao's proposal is not completely correct, but Wufeng has to admit that on many issues, Wang Liao's analysis is indeed very accurate and practical.
Xiao Tang and Su Qin have already read it. And Wufeng even sent this proposal to Guji for circulation, brainstorming, Wufeng believes that considering this important issue from various angles, it is possible to understand the views and opinions of all parties more comprehensively, so that in the future Take into account the interests of more classes when making decisions.
"How about it? I can't tell that Wang Liao really has a heart. I have to admit that the empire has been negligent in many aspects. If the empire wants to establish a responsible big country image, it can't be solved by military actions alone. As Wang Liao said, is it necessary for the empire to include places like Daliao and Mawlamyine into the empire’s territory for direct management? Wouldn’t it be better for the Nanyang Alliance to retain a formal existence and control through economic penetration? What about some? Like the Mawen Islands, most of them are already under our control. After the Maqihan issue is resolved, the Nanyang Alliance will not be able to pose much threat to the empire. These issues are worth pondering. The empire needs a clearer strategy The national policy shows that we must let our allies and neighbors understand what the empire wants the future situation to look like, and only by clarifying these can everyone work towards the goal.”
Wu Feng shook the manuscript paper. He had some discussions with Xiao Tang, Su Qin and the others about this suggestion letter, and he believed that although most of Wang Liao analyzed and looked at the problem from a diplomatic point of view, the aspects involved were not It is quite deep and wide, and the issues involved are not only diplomatic issues, but also some deep-seated issues of the empire, such as the assimilation of the Indian region and the settlement and naturalization of various ethnic groups in the Tengger Grassland. As well as the economic integration of the Meli region and the Empire. He even considered forward-looking what methods the empires in regions such as Liberia and Maqihan should take after they won the war. Many issues were not even considered by Wufeng and Xiao Su. But Wang Liao brought it up, which made the three of them a little ashamed.
"Well, Your Majesty is right. During this period of time, the Imperial Central Committee has paid too much attention to military issues. At the same time, the Government Council has also paid more attention to financial issues and rectifying the internal economy of the Empire. For the Empire The new territory outside the mainland lacks a comprehensive and long-term consideration. Although the Indian region has established a number of counties that belong only to the central empire, to be honest, this region is not good enough in terms of integration into the imperial economic circle and development. Satisfactorily, except for the slightly better situation in Solian County, even Punjab County, which should be said to be the earliest affected by the empire, is not optimistic. Because the entire Indian region lacks a long-term plan, the development momentum shown by the various counties It seems a bit eager for quick success, without a unified culture and ideological background, it will be difficult for this region to truly integrate into the empire, especially when Indianization still has considerable centripetal force for Indian ministries.”
Su Qin also put forward his own opinion, "The situation in Nanjun and Nanhai County is much better in this regard. All ethnic groups in these places have gradually accepted the core ideas of our Tang Dynasty, and continue to integrate their own nationalization into it. In the Tang Dynasty, especially in the empire, the two religions of Taoism and Buddhism played a very important role in the rapid development of these areas, so I think that the next step of the empire should also increase efforts to support Taoism and Buddhism in India. Propaganda in the region should encourage the missionaries in the interior of the empire to spread the essence of the Tang culture of Taoism and Buddhism to the Indian region, and strengthen the integration of Indian culture and Tang culture.”
"What brother Su said is very true. In addition to the penetration and integration of folk culture, the empire should increase official investment and support in education, art, and architecture. For example, local administrative officials and schools must learn Tang language. , to promote compulsory education in the Tang language, build Tang-style landmark buildings in various places, and promote the spread of Tang art in these areas. The sense of belonging of the empire should have a lot to do in these aspects, but now the empire pays more attention to the economic development of various regions, but ignores these aspects that are crucial to the future unity and stability of the empire, and integrates these three decades. It is precisely these aspects that the empire needs to pay the most attention to, otherwise once the centrifugal force increases, it will not be easy to bridge it." Xiao Tang also agreed.
"Well, these are issues that we should consider, and the Government Affairs Council should study them immediately, but the most critical question now is whether we should send this signal to everyone, that is, the empire is not interested in Liberia, Maqihan and others. Does any country or force other than Wodi have territorial ambitions and demands? Wang Liao brought this problem back to me. At that time, I promised him that if necessary, I could clarify this point of view to the Three Kingdoms Alliance, but now the Three Kingdoms Alliance requires me to publicly report it to me. Promise to all the subjects of the Three Kingdoms Alliance, hehe, it seems that my reputation in neighboring countries has dropped to a very low level." Wufeng laughed a little self-deprecatingly, Wufeng has no ambitions for the territory of the Three Kingdoms Alliance, but what about the Nanyang Alliance?
"Your Majesty, is this question aimed at the Nanyang Alliance?" Both Xiao Tang and Su Qin keenly noticed Wufeng's attitude~IndoMTL.com~ Yes, the Nanyang Alliance is like a piece of chicken rib in my mind. It's a pity that Wang Liao suggested that I abandon it, and I hesitated, so I want to hear the opinions of both of you. "Wu Feng asked.
"Your Majesty, I have discussed this issue with Brother Su. The Government Council agrees with Wang Liao. We tend to give up. In fact, the Nanyang Alliance has already been embraced by the Empire. Territorial claims are really meaningless. The future of the Empire Its development can only be on the sea, and with the further development of the imperial economy in the future, the economy of the Nanyang Alliance can only exist if it is attached to the empire. External competition has even promoted the economic development of the empire, and the strength of the empire does not mean that everything must be incorporated into the imperial management system.”
Nodding, Wufeng stood up and said slowly: "You have helped me make up my mind. The Nanyang Alliance empire can give up, but the interests of the empire in the new continent must be fought for. The rights and interests of the sea will be wielded in the future." We must all keep clear about this. After this battle is resolved, the empire will fully develop its economy, and at the same time continue to expand its influence on the New Continent. The contest on the Internet has just begun, and we will not be lonely in the days to come."
