Yu Zhi prepared a portion for two people.

The system was updated, and he guessed that Li Chi would come over to enjoy the meal.

When the meal was almost ready, the door was opened and Li Chi appeared.

During this period, Li Chi came frequently. Knowing that Yu Zhi was still single, he didn't even bother to knock on the door. He opened the door himself every time, as casually as returning to his own home. Li Chi always treated himself uninvited.

He came here, and showed no regrets for his bad behavior without any prior knowledge, euphemistically saying it was just to "see Brother Zhi's real living condition."

In this regard, Yu Zhi could only lament that he was "unkind to others".

While eating, the two discussed the content of this system update.

Generally speaking, lord players still maintain a certain advantage. The strength of free players has improved, and the player legion has narrowed the strength gap with the lords. This is an irreversible trend. As the player legion continues to improve, simply developing the territory will not work.

The joint development of lords and player legions will become an updated trend. The flexibility and communication advantages of player legions and the strong hard power of territorial troops complement each other. The two player groups have broad space for cooperation.

Yu Zhi suggested that Li Chi establish a cooperative relationship with Ao Pan as soon as possible, so that he can help bridge the gap.

Li Chi agreed. Although he had made up his mind to develop his territory through his own efforts and refused Yu Zhi's rescue, he was not so pedantic that he refused to ally with a strong alliance. He was no stranger to pride. When he first entered the game, Yu Buzhi asked for help.

The reason was that Ao Ao provided him with funds and equipment, and Xiaoye even met him and asked him what kind of help he still needed.

Before the start of the Yellow Turban Campaign, Li Chi had been leveling up with the help of the Pride Legion.

Because of this relationship, Li Chi had a good impression of Ao Wang.

In addition, after Ao Wang defeated the White Feather Army, Sili's position as the strongest regiment has been unshakable, and there is even a vague prospect of becoming the strongest regiment in the country. The Bloodthorn Territory's friendship with Ao Wang is harmful to the development of the territory.

"When the update is completed, I will tell the Star Thunder Heavenly Army and Xiaoye."

"Okay." Li Chi didn't even raise his head, concentrating on destroying the rice.

Yu Zhi asked again: "The territory has a huge talent and funding gap in the early stage. Are you sure you don't need help?"

"unnecessary!"

Yu Zhi didn't try to persuade him anymore, he understood Li Chi.

No matter how difficult the decision you make, you will make it with tears in your eyes.

Li Chi knows what he is doing, and it is his choice. Yu Zhi respects his friend's choice and will not try to impose his views on others under the banner of "I am doing it for your own good" just because he has different opinions.

Of course, if Li Chi changes his mind and wants help, Yu Zhi will do his best.

"You are the second to accept and complete the Hidden Territory mission. How about the talents sent by the system?"

"Just one, okay."

Li Chi replied casually, but suddenly the conversation changed: "Brother Zhi, I found the organization."

Yu Buzhi was puzzled: "Organization?"

Li Chi nodded solemnly, with a bit of fanaticism in his eyes, and said seriously: "Brother Zhi, have you heard of the Ultimate Group?"

"The Ultimate Group? I only know that there is a non-governmental organization, it seems to be called the Ultimate Group."

"That's the one!"

The Ultimate Group is an influential non-governmental organization in China.

Speaking of the ultimate group, we have to mention the maritime disputes facing the country.

China in 2059 is very powerful in terms of political influence, economic strength and military strength. It is a world-recognized superpower, keeping pace with another superpower known as the "world police". China has not risen for a long time. As the country comprehensively

With increased strength, you will have more confidence and bargaining chips when safeguarding your vital interests. When encountering external threats or blackmail, you will no longer have to express dissatisfaction at the diplomatic level as you did when the country was in poverty in the last century. Instead, you will have more direct and decisive options.

.

The once sole superpower was unwilling to share power.

Hyping up the China threat, recruiting a group of minions who have territorial disputes with China and raising flags, stumbling upon China at every turn, creating the illusion of China bullying its weak neighbors in the world, and creating conditions for the "world police" to intervene. In politics,

Military and economic levels continue to put pressure on China.

If China gives in, small neighboring countries will take the opportunity to encroach on China's territory and aggravate domestic public dissatisfaction; if China chooses to respond toughly and a war breaks out, it will interrupt the peaceful development period that has lasted for decades and increase the cost of China's rise.

Similar tricks have been common for decades.

The country has been moving forward in thorns.

When you are unable to catch up, keep a low profile and accumulate strength.

However, as the country's comprehensive strength becomes stronger and stronger, it is already a superpower, but it does not receive due recognition and respect. It is being blackmailed and oppressed by another superpower in the same way as a small country, and even the core interests of the country are at stake.

Encountered repeated challenges...

The most disputed area between China and neighboring countries is undoubtedly the ocean. Islands and reefs in the East China Sea and South China Sea have been invaded and occupied. Those countries, backed by the "world police", shamelessly stole Chinese islands and reefs, expanded them aggressively, and even deployed weapons on them, trying to

This created an established fact and forced China to swallow a bitter pill.

China is left with only two options.

Or sink and become an economic power whose political and military status is not recognized.

Either it breaks out, uses strength to fight back provocations, and does not hesitate to use violent means to safeguard national interests.

China chose the latter.

Ten years ago, the war broke out.

The country showed its courage and determination to risk everything. It took the lead in attacking the strongest Japanese country and regained the Diaoyu Islands, which had been invaded by the Japanese for many years. The Japanese immediately wanted to take back the islands, and sent out all their elites, but were repeatedly frustrated. Seeing that they were no longer able to take back the Diaoyu Islands, they showed their strength to the world.

The police asked for help, and the world police used the excuse of having a defense agreement with Japan, and multiple aircraft carrier battle groups entered the East China Sea to participate in the war.

China did not back down and dispatched aircraft carrier formations to engage in fierce battles with powerful enemies in the East China Sea.

They are both nuclear powers and do not dare to start a nuclear war easily. They can only use conventional military force to show off.

After three years of fierce fighting, both armies suffered heavy losses, and the Diaoyu Islands were always under China's control.

That war ended with the enemy's retreat and China's tragic victory.

In this battle, aircraft carriers on both sides were sunk, and a total of dozens of battleships and submarines were lost, as well as hundreds of fighter aircraft. It was called the most tragic naval battle after the end of World War II.

Thousands of Chinese sons and daughters have sacrificed their precious lives to defend the sea.

The results of the naval battle in the East China Sea made those minions who invaded and occupied China's islands and reefs in the South China Sea more honest.

They are not willing to give up the stolen islands and reefs, and the "World Police" is secretly instigating them to not dare to directly touch the Dragon Reverse Scale. There are fewer military actions, but more use of civilian forces to strengthen claims to occupy the islands and reefs.

stand up.

However, China has never lacked passionate young people.

The Ultimate Group is a non-governmental organization with the purpose of safeguarding the country's maritime rights. In recent years, it has organized and implemented many private island protection operations, and has gained a great reputation.

Li Chi's father was a soldier and died in that war.

That year, Li Chi was only 12 years old.

Yu Zhi knows better than anyone else how much Li Chi misses his father. He chooses to become a painter and recreate the places where his father once walked on oilcloth. His father sacrificed his life while defending the sea, leaving Li Chi to be involved in the country's maritime rights.

Extremely sensitive on issues and definitely a radical.
