Fang Du, the Swiss cabinet minister in charge of foreign affairs, visited the Song Dynasty on the cruiser Purple Mountain.

He stood on the deck and looked at the cruiser riding the wind and waves, but he felt a little uneasy in his heart.

As the cabinet minister of Switzerland, Fang Du is certainly aware of the current internal and external troubles in Switzerland.

King Sule of Rui held a meeting to discuss the current critical moment of Rui.

The meeting finally reached a consensus that Shu must be resolved as soon as possible in order to have enough strength to deal with Chu's possible attack.

The governor-general made excuses to shirk the situation. They had tried their best and could not deal with the Shu army in a short time.

Rui's army was delayed by Shu, and Chu made some small moves.

Even the Chu State was restricted by the rules set by the empire and could not send troops into Rui State's territory.

The Chu State also had many methods to harass the Rui State and force the Rui State to declare war.

Unless Rui gives up all his dignity, King Sule of Rui admits that he is a waste.

If Switzerland really does this, it will lose its future.

Of course Switzerland will not do this and must find a way to save itself.

The only way Rui can think of to save itself now is to form an alliance with a certain country to carve up Shu together and deal with the crisis in Chu.

Looking at many countries in Europe, the Song State, which borders the Shu State and has hatred against the Chu State, is almost the only choice for the Rui State.

Fang Du thought that before he left, King Su Lei of Rui had entrusted the future of Rui to his hands.

Rui State could give up many interests in order to form an alliance with Song State.

This time he went to the Song Dynasty, and King Su Lei of Rui gave him great authority.

As a minister in charge of foreign affairs, Fang Du was so trusted by King Sulei of Rui that he thought that a scholar would die for his confidant.

He must find a way to persuade Song King Zhan Tie to sign an alliance between the two countries.

Song State was not far from Rui State, and Fang Du arrived at the port of Song State at noon.

He took the railway to Xinghai, which was only in the afternoon.

Fang Du immediately went to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China and submitted documents stating that he wanted to meet Song Wang Zhantie.

He thought he would soon be summoned by Song King Zhan Tie.

He waited for a day in Xinghai, but King Zhantie of the Song Dynasty did not summon him.

He continued to wait for three days, but the King of Song still did not summon him.

Fang Du had some doubts in his heart. Song State's approach was too arrogant.

Even if the two countries cannot reach an alliance.

There is no conflict of interest between Rui State and Song State.

As the representative of King Rui, King Song should not leave him alone like this.

What Song did was extremely disrespectful to Rui.

Fang Du thought of the difficulties Rui was encountering now. He suppressed his anger and went to Song's Ministry of Foreign Affairs to question Song officials.

But he received an extremely perfunctory answer.

King Zhantie of the Song Dynasty was on vacation and had no time to meet him.

This reply was extremely perfunctory, as King Zhan Tie of the Song Dynasty was now on leave, let alone on vacation.

If he can sleep well, he has good psychological quality.

The conflicts between Chu and Song in the colonies were deep.

Chu's strength continued to expand, and even though Song was alone overseas, it still could not stop Chu's military front.

Even for the sake of Song State's own development, Song State should not make this choice.

When Fang Du returned to the hotel, he sat alone on a chair and smoked out the pack of cigarettes in his hand. He did not understand why Song Guo did this?

It is true that King Zhantie of the Song Dynasty did not go to the countryside for vacation. He handled government affairs in the palace.

He heard the report from the yellow-haired eunuch and looked at the busy Prime Minister Jin Kuohai and the Grand Governor Lu Tingfang.

"Jin Aiqing, Lu Aiqing, please stop your work for a moment.

The representatives from Switzerland can no longer bear it anymore, let’s discuss the current situation again.”

Prime Minister Jin Kuohai and Governor Lu Tingfang immediately came to Song Wang Zhantie's side.

King Zhan Tie of the Song Dynasty knocked on the table and said: "The patience of the envoy from Rui is about to run out. We must come up with a charter as soon as possible on how to deal with Rui."

Governor Lu Tingfang was the first to stand up.

He is a governor-general with a background as a staff officer, and he has a clearer view of the current situation in Europe.

"Your Majesty, the situation in Europe is now clear.

In the Central and Eastern Europe region, the alliance headed by Gui State and the alliance headed by Wu State have formed a confrontation situation, and the fight is in full swing.

The Gui army penetrated deeply into the hinterland of the Wu army many times and almost destroyed Wu's important industrial areas.

The Wu and Yue allied forces also united and invaded the Gui State area, destroying the railway between Gui State and the Allied Powers.

Both forces are now a little tired, but they are still persisting.

Of these two forces, the alliance is slightly weaker.

But they formed an alliance, each country transferred part of its power, and the alliance can be regarded as a whole.

Whether it is the mobilization of troops or the transportation of materials, there are no obstacles within the alliance.

The alliance is slightly stronger, but consists of independent participating countries.

Each country has its own ideas, and their alliance purposes are different.

This means that if the countries in the alliance want to form a joint force, they must go through running-in and constant communication.

In Central and Eastern Europe, these two forces are confronting each other, and the situation has always been stable.

However, the situation in Western Europe has undergone major changes.

The Shu Kingdom lost the support of certain forces in the empire, and its war heritage no longer existed.

But with the strength accumulated during this period, and the Shu Kingdom completing its mobilization very early, the size of the army was relatively large.

The Rui Kingdom was unable to take over the Shu Kingdom for a while.

The Chu State saw the decline of the Shu State's strength, and the Rui State experienced a long period of war, and its national strength was not as good as before.

The Chu State was ready to make a move against the Rui State, and had already disregarded the earlier consensus reached between the Chu State and the Rui State and mobilized troops to the Chu-Rui border.

Switzerland must have felt the crisis, so it sent people to our country to ask for help."

After Metropolitan Governor Lu Tingfang finished his analysis, Prime Minister Jin Kuohai followed up and said: "Now our country's choices can already determine the fate of Western European countries.

Whoever we choose to help will have a chance to win.

But our main land is the islands, but Western Europe really has a hegemon.

It will not tolerate a country that threatens it.

No matter whether Chu State or Rui State wins the final victory, they will choose to target our country.

Now that we have this opportunity, why should we be others' younger brothers instead of becoming the overlord ourselves?

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Becoming an island country and slowly becoming self-contained will have no future.

Only by establishing a foothold on the European continent can we have a bright future."

As long as the anger in their hearts does not dissipate, the Han people will not choose to settle in a corner.

Since the unification of the Qin Dynasty, the evaluation of the peaceful monarchs by history books and later generations will not be too high.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Wei and Shu Han were all highly rated by later generations, but Sun Wu, who wanted to be more secure, was not rated highly.

The small court of the Southern Song Dynasty, which was relatively peaceful, became a representative of cowardice and incompetence.

Neither King Zhan Tie of the Song Dynasty nor the senior officials of the Song Dynasty wanted to settle on the island.

After Song Wang Zhantie thought for a while, he said: "The current situation is indeed a good opportunity.

If we in the Song Dynasty can seize this opportunity, we can be reborn and get rid of the restrictions of the island.

Industrialization is in full swing and the island country has no future.

What should we do now, continue to watch the fire from the other side, or form an alliance with Switzerland."

King Zhan Tie of the Song Dynasty analyzed the current situation and found that what the Song State could do was to form an alliance with the Rui State, carve up the Shu State, and jointly contend with the Chu State.

This is a plan in which the Song Dynasty does not need to bear too much cost and can still obtain good benefits.

The safest plan is to do nothing now and continue to observe the situation in Europe.

Song State waited until the situation was completely clear before choosing to intervene.

But at that time, all the good things had been divided up by other forces, and all that was left to the Song State were scraps.
