Chapter 167 Hometown is Next Door
Luo Youde said that he is quite vivid. He is like a rushing person, always running around in this world, without a stable day. Every time he goes to a place, he wants to build it into a paradise, but unfortunately he always can't do it. Then he settles down and instills his thoughts in others with his life. Usually when he reaches this point, he is about to leave, and this time is no exception.
"Although the country is big, war will perish; even if the world is safe, forgetting to fight will perish. From "Sima Fa"." In terms of knowledge, Wen Nan is the best among these people, but unfortunately he is not here. Luo Youde is not a businessman, but he is also a businessman who likes to study, but he is more reserved and does not say anything. But Luo Meizhou is not as smooth as his father. When he saw that no one said anything, he was afraid that the cold would happen and answered his father-in-law's question.
"Hey, see, our Hong family is a family of poetry and books, and they are all knowledgeable people. I won't show off my son. America married my daughter, and this knowledge is good!" When Hong Tao spoke again, Luo Meizhou immediately regretted it and decided not to be this green grass next time. Everything is from the Hong family. It's worthwhile to study hard for more than ten years, and his knowledge comes from his wife. I have never seen such a shameless elder.
"I won't translate the meaning of this sentence, and the truth is obvious. Since ancient times, those who have waited for others to come to fight back are all fools. At that time, all the opponents will be ready. Even if we can win, we will pay a huge price. How did the war come about? This time I took the fleet to Europe, which seemed to be helping Carl take revenge, or to fight for sea control. In fact, this is a superficial understanding."
"My real purpose is to eliminate a war in the near future! If the Europeans occupy the sea, develop for more than ten years, accumulate hundreds of giant ships, and cultivate troops that can be used to war, they will not have to wait for us to come to the door, but will take the initiative to cause trouble for us. At that time, the war will spread to our land, and we will not suffer well regardless of winning or losing."
"Is this passive war meaningful? It has no meaning to us at all. So, I used a small-scale war to delay the time when they can challenge us completely for ten or twenty years. In this way, this large-scale war that may occur will also be delayed. But remember, it is not completely eliminated, it is just delayed. As long as we relax our control and give them the opportunity to develop, this war will come sooner or later."
"This principle is established in Europe and the Golden River Empire. Through this war, this continent is no longer a secret, and we are no longer a secret. It is unrealistic to hide here and live in peace with the world. We must not only strive to develop our own country, but also stare at the left and right sides with our eyes. Once we find that there is danger, even if it is a possibility, we must find a way to eliminate it."
"It is of course good to be able to eliminate the method of exchange of interests through negotiations. If not, then war is necessary. Don't be soft-hearted just because the other party is his own son, brother, or relative. Think about it carefully. In fact, fighting the war in advance is actually a rescue. If both sides have been hostile for many years and prepared for many years, once the war begins, it will be a long-lasting and endless war. Both sides will suffer great losses, and maybe they will take the life of one side. Stop the war with war is the idea I proposed. If you want peace, you have to fight first. This is my core foreign policy." After praising the high quality of the old Hong family, Hong Tao got on the topic, broke it apart and explained his thoughts as clearly as possible. This time it was not a lie, but a real idea.
"I think everyone has been fooled. We are discussing national affairs with our Majesty. None of us is a rival, even if we are combined together. The Luo family is a businessman. We finally hope that our son will grow up and be able to inherit the family business, but he was still kidnapped by His Majesty. I also say to the ancients, I forgot my father after marrying a wife! I am still alone now, so I can't fight against Your Majesty, so I won't fight. Brother Hong, let's talk about everything you want to say together, and don't make us happy."
"You discovered this place, and it was also the one you brought with you to fight. I have distributed it to us to become kings. I have never heard the ancients say this kind of mind. To be honest, I still can't believe it until now, but if I don't believe it, the land cannot be eliminated, so where is it? Although you said that our countries are alliances and no one can command anyone, my Luo family is still willing to listen to you, and you can do whatever you say. In this matter
, I believe no one thinks he understands better than you. Please give me a clear answer quickly. I want to talk more with my son. I don’t want to listen to the half-hour class anymore." Luo Youde finally couldn’t hold it in. If he continued to say this, he couldn’t finish it even after dawn. He knew what Hong Tao wanted to say. Although he did not agree 100% that Hong Tao would go back to save Da Song, he also knew that it could not be stopped. Instead of fighting hard, he might as well help him fulfill this wish.
"I have no objection..." Swan was also annoyed. Luo Youde understood in his heart, so he didn't want to listen again. He didn't understand anything and didn't want to listen.
"I have no opinion at all..." Qi Zu quickly expressed his position, and he was not very clear about what Hong Tao wanted to say.
"I mean that, actually I've wanted to say it a long time ago. Your Majesty, please finish it quickly. I have something good to show you. It's really good, I promise!!!" Wen Xiaoqi is like a primary school student who just scored 100 points in the exam. He always wants to surprise his parents, but he just can't find the opportunity. He basically didn't eat much of this meal.
"Don't worry, this is the procedure. Since we are an alliance, we have to do it according to the alliance's agreement. Even if we know the result, we have to go through the process. If the remaining few companies are not present, I will vote for the consent on their behalf. Okay, now the vote is passed unanimously, then I will talk about my decision."
"Everyone should know that I am using all the power of the alliance to dig canals in the south, but what is this canal used for? You may not know yet. Where does this canal lead to? You don't know yet. Now I will tell you the answer that this canal leads to the sea in the west. The name of this sea should be very familiar to you. It is called the Pacific!" Since Luo Youde explained his intentions, Hong Tao would not go around in circles. As long as there is no longer a big war in Europe, he should start preparing to return to the west. However, this matter was not a separate decision by the Kingdom of Mexica. With the alliance, you have to follow the charter of the alliance. The rules are greater than the sky, and you must obtain the consent of other kings. Even if their kingdoms are still phantoms, they must be treated as kings.
"Pacific Ocean! Little Salam, where is our chart?" The first reaction was Luo Meizhou. He and Hong Yu had not been idle for many years since they had the Americas. They even explored Australia, but they had never explored too far to the Pacific Ocean east of Luzon. Because Hong Tao never mentioned where it was going east. It was not particularly necessary, and no one would go too far in an unknown sea. But when Hong Tao said this now, Luo Meizhou, who had imprinted the entire chart in his mind, immediately felt a sense of position, and he wanted to use the chart to verify it.
"Oh, I'll lock it in the cabin, wait for me to get it!" Hong Yu also drank a lot of wine, but when she mentioned the chart, she woke up all the wine, stuck out her tongue, got up and ran out.
Any naval officer who graduated from a nautical school, whether driving a warship or a cargo ship, has a rule that must be followed, that is, the chart cannot be out of his sight. When on the ship, the charts are used and taken as they are usually locked in the cabinet of the captain's room. When docking, the captain's room must be assigned a post all day. Once an accident occurs in a ship, the captain's first reaction is to destroy the charts. In this era, a chart with a confidentiality level often means the safety of a sea area, and its value is higher than a fleet.
"Don't go, don't go! I'm taking it here. And I'm more accurate than yours. Did you see it? It was hand-painted by His Majesty, hehe..." The compassion, who had been helping his son peel the crab shell, finally spoke at this time. He was carrying a cylinder on his back, which contained a chart left by Hong Tao for Matini. He weighed the weight of this thing clearly and he was holding it to sleep.
Not only young people are curious, but old craftsmen like Qi Zu couldn't help but come to the table cleaned by Mercy, intending to see what the sea in the west looks like. More importantly, the word Pacific is not only Luo America, but also naval officers like Mercy are familiar with it. Anyone who has read books and studied in the empire and learned from the sea is familiar with it. It is the sea on the east side of Luzon Island.
If these two seas are not the same name, it means one thing, my hometown is opposite the sea! This incident touched everyone's hearts. When I left my hometown, I headed west, traveled several ports, and went through tens of thousands of miles before I arrived in North America. But now some people say that I will return to my hometown again. This concept is a bit confusing and inexplicable surprise. It is worth running so far that my hometown has always been next door!?
People who are more familiar with navigation and drawings have begun to dip in wine on the table and on the floor. The earth is a ball, and this course has been mentioned in the Jinhe Empire Primary School, but it is just a general statement and does not have much convincing evidence. Now Hong Tao says that the sea east of Luzon is the sea west of the American continent. This sentence has a lot of information, and it is not intuitive to imagine by your brain. It seems that it will be clearer if you draw a picture.
