"Gunboat?!" Lin Dongyun was excited. Damn it, gunboat! Although it is the lowest level of battleship, it is still a battleship, a battleship that can break out of the atmosphere and fight in the starry sky!
Facing battleships, the so-called high-end weapons and mechas are one level lower, and tanks, armored vehicles, etc. are no different from garbage!
So Lin Dongyun nodded directly: "I want it!"
Seeing Lin Dongyun's childlike appearance, Albert couldn't help but laugh, and then waved his hand: "It doesn't have to be a gunboat, it could also be a real star mecha, or a mastermind capable of controlling the affairs of a planet.
, or various special items.”
Listening to this, Lin Dongyun tilted his head and became confused, your Grand Empire wants to support me, but you haven't even confirmed what it is prepared to support?
Albert looked at the office again. Except for Lin Dongyun and Xiaobai who stood behind him, there were only two people in the room, Albert and Degen. The people serving tea and water had already left.
So Albert nodded and said: "General Lin, I think you know about the conflicts between our country and the Republic of Valance."
Lin Dongyun nodded: "You roughly know that the conflict should be caused by competing for the world's number one throne?"
Albert nodded and said: "Yes, our empire is unwilling to be torn off the throne of first place, while Valancy is desperately trying to climb up to the throne of first place, so the competition between our two countries is a fundamental conflict of interest, no
May be alleviated.
The competition between us has been going on for a long time, and this competition is all-round. For example, if one party designs a brand new space suit, then the other party must also come up with a space suit of the same level or higher.
"
Lin Dongyun nodded in agreement, but there was still a look of confusion in his eyes. Didn't you say you wanted to give me something? Why did the topic change here?
"However, you also know that our country and Valancy, as the world's number one and number two countries, even if there is competition, it is impossible to directly launch a war to determine who is the real winner.
There are allies on both sides. If a war breaks out, it will be a war that sweeps the whole world, and no country will be immune." Albert said seriously.
Lin Dongyun couldn't help but feel solemn. This was not a scaremongering. With the size of the Gran Empire and the Valanxi Republic, if a full-scale war were to begin, a world war would definitely break out. If the Qinglin Empire was involved, it would probably not be long.
You'll be beaten to a pulp next time.
"But the problem brought about by the war is not only to determine the winner, but also the possibility that both sides will fall into the abyss at the same time. So both of us, well, not only our two countries, but also other powerful countries do not want us to break out into a real war.
So in order to solve some problems that neither side is willing to give in to, it is natural to engage in a gambling battle in which people are selected, and the winner gets everything." Albert said.
Lin Dongyun blinked, and countless scenes from movies, TV shows, and novels appeared in his mind, and then he said with some surprise: "That is to say, you two big countries have some conflict over each other. Because you are afraid of triggering a full-scale war, you have a big competition like this.
Come to the scene of gambling and fighting, all problems can be solved in this gambling fighting field?"
Albert smiled and shook his head: "Not all problems can be solved through this kind of gambling. After all, some fundamental issues related to a country cannot be solved by gambling. But some small problems can indeed be solved by gambling.
Come and have a betting fight, everyone is willing to admit defeat, and whoever wins will take away the bet."
"Those who lose are willing to admit defeat and are prepared to gamble again next time. Those who win gain benefits, but they also have to accept that they may lose next time. By setting the rules in this way, conflicts are alleviated and the possibility of war breaking out is reduced.
A lot."
"Originally, this kind of gambling was only carried out among the top leaders of my country and Valance. But later I found that solving the problem in this way was very good and would not damage the real harmony and foundation of the two countries. It slowly spread from the top to the top. At its peak, it even reached the point where whenever there was a dispute between our country and Valancy, there would inevitably be a gambling scene."
"Both our country and Valance are engaging in such gambling battles, which naturally attracts other powers and allies to participate. As time goes by, the top gambling battles are more fanatical than any other competitive sports."
"The highest stakes ever were for a colony with 10 administrative stars. All the great powers participated in the gambling battle at that time, and all sent their best candidates. The gambling battle was so exciting that it is unforgettable to this day." Ai
Bert looked proud and nostalgic, including Secretary Degan.
Obviously that gambling battle left a deep impression on them, and it was obviously the Gran Empire that won the gambling battle. Otherwise, how could they show their pride?
Lin Dongyun smacked his lips and said nothing. He wanted to ask, why had he never heard of such a gambling fight?
But a careful analysis of Albert's words makes it clear that this is a gambling battle that can only be participated by the great powers and their allies. The Qinglin Empire is neither a great power nor an ally of the great powers, so it is naturally shielded from it.
Moreover, Lin Dongyun had some doubts. Even if the Qinglin Empire could participate in such a gambling battle, he didn't know what to bet on. After all, the Qinglin Empire's technology was so weak, so it couldn't bet on planets.
But the biggest problem is that Albert suddenly came to his door and asked him what the bet meant?
After introducing the origin and structure of the gambling battle, Albert finally got it right: "I don't know if you know, General Lin, but Valancy's fleet has arrived in the Zhengyang Star Territory a few days ago and blocked it.
The information channel of the Zhengyang Star Territory, and our fleet also arrived in the Zhengyang Star Territory today and entered into a confrontation with the Valancy Fleet."
Lin Dongyun was so panicked that he almost jumped up. Damn it! The fleets of Valancy and the Galland Empire have already invaded the Zhengyang Star Territory?! There is no news at all?!
Where is the Imperial fleet?!
As soon as this idea came up, Lin Dongyun shrank. With his current position, he could already browse some confidential documents, and Xiao Hei would also help select some important confidential documents for him to review.
There are reports of the fleets of the great powers wandering in and out of the Qinglin Empire at will, and even stationed there for a long time. However, in all such reports, there is no follow-up. What is more, there is a follow-up report of the departure of the opponent's fleet.
There is not a single case where the imperial fleet immediately blocked the notification after the fleets of the great powers appeared. In all the notifications of the invasion of the fleets of the great powers, it was as if the imperial fleet did not exist!
