Chapter 1103 The tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn’t stop (5)(1/2)
King Qian Mingyi of Shu listened to the opinions of different officials.
After comprehensive consideration, he said helplessly: "For now, let's not worry about whether foreign forces are instigating this.
If the people and officers can be inspired, it means that the court is not doing a good enough job.
The Kingdom of Shu is not yet ready for a full-scale war.
But the court must give too much to let people see that the court is taking action.
Only by cooperating with publicity and control can the domestic situation be brought under control.
Stability is the top priority in everything. There is still a war on the front line, and I will never allow problems in the rear."
After comprehensive consideration, King Qian Mingyi of Shu found that if he wanted to solve domestic problems, he could only compromise.
He is the monarch of Shu, but due to the fierce public anger in the country, it is impossible for him to go against most people.
Nowadays, transportation is developed and information flows quickly.
During the Warring States Period, top talents were flowing around the world.
Nowadays, not only top talents, but also ordinary people will choose to immigrate to other countries if they are not happy in one country.
Especially the Han Chinese in European countries are all immigrants.
They immigrated again without any burden in their hearts.
King Qian Mingyi of Shu really insisted on his own way, and the people were dissatisfied with Shu. They really knew how to vote with their feet.
Since the dark clouds of war have enveloped Europe, some people have evacuated Europe to escape the war.
Those who remain now are relatively firm supporters.
Qian Mingyi, the king of Shu, could not push these people to other countries out of his own whim.
When the ministers saw King Qian Mingyi's choice, they were not surprised at all.
Now that there is turmoil in the country, this is a more prudent choice.
King Qian Mingyi of Shu arranged the tasks, and all the ministers received their tasks and left the palace.
Chief of General Staff Zhao Zhifang was just about to leave by car when he was informed by the yellow-haired eunuch in the corner that the King of Shu summoned him again.
He knew that this was because his performance just now attracted the attention of King Shu.
Just now, the King of Shu gave him some face and did not delve into some matters.
Now call him back and ask him again.
Chief of General Staff Zhao Zhifang followed the yellow-haired eunuch back calmly, and he had a clear conscience for what he did.
Qian Mingyi, King of Shu, met Zhao Zhifang, Chief of General Staff again. He was summoned alone, and there was no look of panic on his face.
King Qian Mingyi of Shu asked in a stern tone: "Zhao Aiqing, this time the officer submitted a letter, you are behind it.
What on earth do you want to do?"
"Your Majesty, I have indeed given some guidance to these radicals."
Chief of General Staff Zhao Zhifang saluted with a military salute and replied seriously.
He saw the serious look on Shu King Qian Mingyi's face and explained the reason why he did this with a solemn expression.
"Your Majesty, radical officers are easily incited.
I discovered that some people were instigating radical military officers.
I am worried about causing some accidents and instigating these malicious people, so it is better for me to guide them.
By doing this, I can control the development of the situation.
The reason for my guidance in this way was also mentioned by me just now.
The imperial military is willing to sell the most advanced weapons, and they want to use Shu as a testing ground for new weapons.
The Imperial Governor-General was not satisfied with the performance of the Hongshanling battlefield.
Now there are two voices prevailing in the Imperial Governor's Office.
Sell the old weapons in stock to the Shu Kingdom, or sell the latest weapons to the major vassal states in Europe to expand the scope of weapons testing.
No matter which one the empire chooses, it will be unbearable for us in Shu.
We in Shu must not let these two voices become the implemented policies before the empire makes a choice.
At least we have to wait until our Shu Kingdom has established a complete military industry.
This is how we can break away from dependence on the empire."
King Qian Mingyi of Shu heard the explanation from Chief of General Staff Zhao Zhifang.
He somewhat understood Zhao Zhifang's choice.
The Shu Kingdom simply could not get rid of the influence of the empire.
But this matter cannot be discussed openly, which would hurt the Supreme Being too much.
Once leaked, they will also be criticized by their opponents. They are a puppet state of the empire.
If we wear the label of a puppet state, our motherland will not be able to retain its talents.
Based on the information that Shu King Qian Mingyi has temporarily learned, the loyalty of Chief of General Staff Zhao Zhifang can still be guaranteed.
He knocked on the table and ordered: "This matter will never happen again."
King Qian Mingyi of Shu could only choose to handle it with care.
The Kingdom of Shu cannot withstand any turmoil now.
Unless Chief of General Staff Zhao Zhifang really had second thoughts and just made a mistake, King Qian Mingyi of Shu would not be able to go to war.
Chief of General Staff Zhao Zhifang knew that the crisis had passed.
He chose to do this because he assessed the situation and took advantage of his strength.
He was mentally prepared to sacrifice him and let his faction become the mainstream of Shu.
This is why he is willing to take risks.
If Shu fails, everything will come to an end.
If Shu wins, the victory will not belong to them.
Chief of General Staff Zhao Zhifang must not let this happen.
Now, everything is moving towards the goal.
When this war is over, he will also look for opportunities to resign as chief of general staff.
As long as he does not take military power subsequently, the faction members will not be liquidated.
Chief of General Staff Zhao Zhifang saluted respectfully and said: "I know I made a mistake, and there will never be a next time."
King Shu Qian Mingyi waved his hand and said: "Go back and prepare for the next war. The war in the Hongshanling area will escalate, not even just in the Hongshanling area.
How Switzerland will choose is still unknown."
Chief of General Staff Zhao Zhifang left the palace with a relaxed look, and he began to plan the second phase of the war between Shu and Rui.
The first stage of the war was just testing by both sides.
The second stage of the war is when the war really enters a fever pitch.
The strategic results achieved in the second phase of the war will determine the future trends of the two countries.
…
The country of Rui is prosperous.
King Rui Su Lei saw the people holding a rally in front of the palace to support the war and overthrow the Shu Kingdom.
A smile appeared on his face and he said happily: "These are the citizens of our country. They are real men. They are not afraid of war and are happy to hear war."
With these extremely high-quality citizens, our country, Switzerland, will surely occupy a place in Europe in the future."
Prime Minister Yu Tianfang is not so optimistic.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! He looked at the smiling King Sulei of Rui and suggested: "Your Majesty, the people nowadays don't have much free time to do these things.
This kind of thing is usually organized by someone behind the scenes.
Their idea is very obvious, that is, they want to encourage my country to continue investing resources in the Hongshanling area.
It is best to contain our country's military strength in the Hongshanling area.
Chen could guess what these countries were doing.
As long as they have spare power, whoever will be at a disadvantage will be aided.
Let our country and Shu fight together and both sides will suffer, and no one will be able to affect the future of Europe."
King Su Lei of Rui asked: "Yu Aiqing, without the instigation of these European countries, wouldn't we expand the scale of the war with Shu?"
Prime Minister Yu Tianfang was immediately speechless.
As the Prime Minister of Switzerland, he certainly knows Switzerland's strategy.
The Rui Kingdom is accumulating strength and is preparing to destroy the Shu Kingdom at the right opportunity.
At least we must cripple the Shu Kingdom and completely take back the Hongshanling area.
When Switzerland is provoked by other countries, it must respond with the strongest possible means.
It was only because the war on the front line was not going well for Rui that they chose to lie dormant and use the Hongshan Ridge area to train their troops.
