The moment Zhao took action, the top brass of the Dahua Empire already knew about it.

At the telephone exchange in Beijing, the confidential lines immediately became busy.

When Prince Su Shu learned the news, he immediately chose to go to the palace to meet the saint.

In the ten minutes he sat in the car, he had already read the information prepared by the officials from the East Palace.

This information is very detailed. Even the weapons and ammunition used by Zhao Jun, which unit launched the attack first, and what just happened have all appeared in the information.

Prince Su Shu knew something about the situation in America.

Now we understand the whole story of Zhao’s attack on many small countries in the south.

Prince Su Shu already knows what happened in America and wants to understand its impact on the empire.

He soon arrived at the Qianqing Palace, and Eunuch Zhou Fangzhi, who was walking a little unsteadily, came to greet the prince Su Shu.

When Prince Su Shu saw Eunuch Zhou Fangzhi's appearance, he was also a little sad.

Father-in-law Zhou Fashi has been in the palace since he was a child. This eunuch chief treats every prince and princess with great respect.

When he was in the army in his early years, he was shot in the crotch by a matchlock gun of the Ming army.

It wasn't just as simple as beating a chicken with an egg. The lead bullets used in the matchlock gun were directly shot into the body of Uncle Zhou Fangzhi.

Large projectiles can be removed, but small debris can only be left in the body.

Not only Eunuch Zhou Fangzhi, but also many wounded and retired soldiers had symptoms of lead poisoning.

Even the imperial hospitals are helpless in treating this disease.

Eunuch Zhou Fangzhi immediately expressed his thanks and said: "I would like to thank His Highness the Crown Prince for your concern. My time is running out and I want to stand on my last duty."

Eunuch Zhou Fangzhi also had a hard time. As the commander of the Suzaku Guard, in addition to guarding the safety of the palace, he also had the secret task of supervising the officials.

For a person of his status to die of illness while in office is already the result of the emperor's mercy, and it is the best outcome for a person like him.

Prince Su Shu did not continue this topic because everyone has his own ambitions, and soon came to Qianqing Palace.

When Emperor Su He saw the arrival of Prince Su Shu, he directly asked: "Shu'er, you should know something about what happened in America.

What do you think of the future situation in America?"

Prince Su Shu knew that this was his father's test for him. Every time he encountered a major event, his father would take the test.

After he saluted, he expressed his opinion.

"Father, I think Zhao State has completely broken the tacit understanding among the countries in America by doing this.

America will surely fall into troubled times in the future.

Erchen believes that a war sweeping the Americas is likely to occur.

There are two possibilities for this war. It is similar to the Thirty Years' War in Europe. All parties fought to exhaustion and then decided to stop fighting.

It is also possible that a powerful country will emerge and quickly invade the Americas, giving the Americas a behemoth comparable to an empire.

The latter situation is something the empire is trying its best to avoid."

After Emperor Su He listened to what Prince Su Shu said, he nodded with satisfaction.

Prince Su Shu has initially developed a sense of the overall situation.

The Great China Empire is already an industrial country with markets all over the world.

If you want to become a qualified emperor of the Great China Empire, you must not have a narrow vision and a blank understanding of the world.

Prince Su Shu was able to deduce possible situations in America.

Regardless of whether his deduction is correct or not, these two results have proved that Prince Su Shu has a good overall view.

Prince Su Shu smiled when he saw his father.

He asked respectfully: "Father, what is the result of your deduction?

I believe that the empire should intervene in the situation in America in a timely manner to prevent the situation in America from deteriorating further."

Emperor Su He saw Prince Su Shu's nervous look.

But he waved his hand and said: "Shu'er, you have to remember that vassal countries are not colonies.

We are not the nannies of these vassal states."

Prince Su Shu asked in surprise: "My father's opinion is not to pay attention to the countries in the Americas."

Emperor Su He looked at Prince Su Shu with a puzzled look on his face.

He taught: "Shu'er, what do you think is the most important thing in an industrial country?"

Prince Su Shu didn't understand why his father raised this question?

He thought for a moment and then replied: "Father, I think it is factories and workers.

The empire's industrial strength has developed so rapidly, which cannot be separated from factories with strong capital and technology and excellent workers."

Emperor Su He laughed and said: "In the early stages of industrial development, the market was completely blank.

Strong factories are indeed an important force in promoting the progress of industrialized countries.

However, with the development of industrial strength, the importance of the market has gradually increased.

The empire's huge territory can provide the empire with the raw materials needed for industrial development.

But the larger the market that consumes industrial products, the more powerful industrial industries can be cultivated.

As long as the empire does not lose the American market, it does not need to interfere with the development of American countries.

The empire can intervene in the Americas for a while, but it cannot intervene in the Americas forever.

On the contrary, it will arouse resentment among the people of various countries and cause the empire to lose the American market.

With the current strength of the empire, there is no need to worry about gains and losses.

The empire is strong enough to meet any challenger."

Prince Su Shu thought for a while, but still didn't understand what his father meant.

But he already knew clearly that his father's attitude towards this matter was not to interfere.

Prince Su Shu said respectfully: "My son, I immediately conveyed my father's decree to the cabinet and the governor's office."

Prince Su Shu then left Qianqing Palace.

If he conveys his father's will, the warring factions in the Governor's Mansion will definitely be disappointed.

Emperor Su He saw Prince Su Shu leaving Qianqing Palace, and he continued to observe the world map on the wall of Qianqing Palace.

The reason why he did not mediate disputes between vassal states in time as he did before.

Emperor Su He believed that the time had come, especially in the Americas, to eliminate a group of unqualified vassal states.

The sinicization work in the Americas has been done very well by various vassal states.

The major vassal states will no longer have local indigenous people overthrowing the rule of each country.

The assimilation policy is a policy that can bring long-term stability to the country, but it will also accumulate a lot of contradictions when implemented.

In Chinese history, the assimilation of the Han people to other ethnic groups was always accompanied by wars and dynasty changes.

When the Great China Empire assimilated the indigenous people, it relied on the redistribution of incremental benefits brought about by large-scale immigration and industrialization.

The vassal states lacked this condition, and they wanted to resolve the conflicts accumulated due to the assimilation policy.

It can only be achieved through time slowly passing away, or through the tempering of iron and blood.

Emperor Su He knew that his old brothers were all ambitious people.

They will not choose to waste time and must resort to war to divert domestic conflicts.

Emperor Su He said with emotion: "Every generation has its own mission."

Their generation is determined to solve the country's problems through iron and blood.

Problems must not be left to the next generation to solve.

Problems that the founding monarchs could not solve may not be solved by future generations.

Emperor Su He was based on this idea. Although the empire had the power to intervene in the situation in America, he chose not to intervene.

Even if this choice really allowed a powerful country to challenge the Great China Empire in America, Emperor Su He would still be able to accept it.

If the industry wants to progress, it must cultivate a large number of talents, and universal education is the lowest-cost way.

Once education is popularized and people's governance is enlightened, various trends of thought will inevitably emerge.

How long can the Emperor of the Great Hua Empire exist? No one can predict.

But any knowledgeable person can foresee a corner of the future, and the emperor will inevitably disappear.

Emperor Su He's choice to intervene may not allow the royal family to survive for a few more years.

He chose not to intervene, even if a country did emerge that could challenge the empire's status.

The two countries fighting each other will also help ensure the vitality of the empire and prevent it from becoming a stagnant water.
