Gu Fengming pondered for a long time before saying: "Is it that small barbarian country that bowed its head to our country in ancient times, paid tribute every year, and became a vassal every year?"
"Yes."
The top official looked helpless: "Originally, the diplomacy between the two countries was quite normal, with exchanges of courtesy and peace maintained for decades."
"But since the intervention of the Eagle Country, Dai Viet has changed its previous moderate policy towards our country, and its attitude has become extremely tough. It has also increased its troops in our waters, and there have been frequent misfires, causing two conflicts.
Relations between the two countries are extremely tense now.”
"Our reconnaissance planes cannot fly into the sea areas at will, so as not to cause a diplomatic fight between the two countries."
At this time, an old man with silver hair asked: "Liu Feng, if we go to war with them head-on, what do you think our chances of winning are?"
The highest officer of the Nanhai Zheng Supreme War Department is named Liu Feng. His father was also the former highest officer here and later became the highest war minister in the country. However, he passed away five years ago.
Liu Feng's father had received the kindness of Gu Feng Ming, and before his death, he told Liu Feng that he would be grateful to Gu Feng Ming from generation to generation, and he would do anything for him, even if it cost his own life.
He once held Liu Feng's hand and made a pertinent evaluation of Gu Feng Ming:
"The great chivalrous person serves the country and the people."
Liu Feng had an ugly look on his face when he heard this: "Actually, if we talk about the odds of winning... maybe even with the support of Eagle Country in recent years, we have developed very fast, but if we really want to have a head-on confrontation with us in terms of strength, then of course we will win.
And it doesn’t take too much trouble, but this is not the crux of the problem. The problem lies with the third party. The fleets of the Eagle Country are docked nearby. If we carry out fire bombardment over there, we will definitely be injured.
to these fleets."
"This will fall into their trap and use words to trigger various direct confrontations between the two major countries in diplomacy, economy and military. This is very different from my country's current overall strategy of focusing on development."
