In the venue, many eyes were focused on Zhang Hao, including Daluo Jinxian, Jinxian, many heavenly beings, and even representatives of shareholders of Blue Star Group.
Regarding the Tianshui Empire, everyone feels that it is a thorny issue. It is not impossible to declare war directly, but there are obviously many problems. If we really want to directly declare war on the Tianshui Empire, the other large empires will definitely take action. Everyone understands the truth of the death of lips and teeth.
"The teacher has a good reputation" cannot be ignored in many cases. And the secret means cannot be used as an excuse to declare war. War, especially large-scale war, needs some "bright excuses".
Even the unfair treatment of one's own citizens can be used as an excuse. However, espionage issues cannot be used as an excuse.
To put it more directly, when declaring war on the Tianshui Empire, the key is not the excuse of "famous teachers", but to find ways to prevent other empires from participating in the war and making it inconvenient for them to intervene.
This is the core meaning of "famous teachers"; otherwise any excuse is meaningless.
That's why the problem of spies cannot be used as an excuse; because everyone has spies, the boss, let alone the second, are all the same color - black, and they can't be seen in the light; if you say that your spies are special, then I will
Let’s go back and check the domestic situation.
Especially the current situation of the Blue Star Group has made many surrounding great empires and powerful sects jealous. Under this situation, everyone's every move is magnified, and a little carelessness may lead to uncontrollable consequences.
While you are making excuses for others, others are also making excuses for you!
And in the event of a large-scale war, the military power of the Blue Star Group will inevitably be involved; what if the demon world attacks again and the military power is not enough?
Although this world gate can bring wealth, if it cannot be suppressed, a fatal crisis will break out.
This gate to the world is a different kind of crater, and it is very active in nature. Although it is rich in resources, if it is not handled properly, it will be a disaster.
You can't expect the monsters in the Heavenly Demon World to be 'merciful' - facing cultivators with great vitality, the cultivators in the Heavenly Demon World are definitely like mice who love rice and can't stop eating one bite at a time.
This is not a competition within the Zhoutian Galaxy. If it doesn't work, you can still surrender. This is a real life-and-death showdown. Facing the pressure of the entire Sky Demon World, Blue Star Group dare not relax at all, and its military strength must always remain at its peak.
.
Under such circumstances, although everyone hated the Tianshui Empire's methods, they had to deal with it carefully.
But it's impossible not to deal with it - although the spy matter cannot be made public, if it is not dealt with, other countries will wait and think that the Blue Star Group is just a straw bag, and anyone can step on it.
Therefore, how to defeat the Tianshui Empire is indeed a difficult task.
This is why so many experts sit down and listen to Zhang Hao beeping on top. Because everyone really can't think of a better way.
Zhang Hao naturally seized this opportunity and regarded this place as the stage of Dayang Group.
Facing Tai Shuye's inquiry, Zhang Hao explained calmly: "Actually, you can think of it this way. At present, except for the scope of influence of Blue Star Group, everyone's understanding of the economy is relatively simple. This is our opportunity.
If we can snipe against this, we can easily defeat a huge empire!"
"The importance of the economy, I think the development of the past ten years is the best explanation.
The economy that develops naturally is a fragile structure. Unlike spiritual practice, as long as there are masters in charge of the spiritual practice system, stability can basically be guaranteed.
The pinnacle of spiritual practice is in the hands of master practitioners. It forms a pyramid structure from top to bottom. If low-level practitioners want to climb the peak, they can only rely on high-level practitioners and practice hard on their own.
But if the economy is not good, everyone has their own interests. We all know this saying: Destroying a person's wealth is like killing his parents. Wealth is the basis for everyone's survival. It is manifested at the national level as 'economy'.
Although the peak of the economy is in the hands of a few, more can be obtained through trade, plunder, deception and other means.
Compared with spiritual practice, which must be done step by step, changes in wealth and economy always have a chaotic and crazy side. This is especially true of a free economic system that has not been adjusted and sorted out.
This is what the trade war is targeting."
After Zhang Hao's words fell, everyone was thoughtful, and many people looked at each other in confusion; many people even had a little cold sweat flowing from their backs.
Everyone is not stupid, but there are some things that they did not think of for a while. But with Zhang Hao's explanation and the development of the past ten years, everyone suddenly woke up.
Thinking about how they have been able to trade with Dayang Group without any worries over the years, with almost no precautions, many representatives of small and medium-sized countries look a little pale.
Fortunately, fortunately, we all belong to the Blue Star Group.
After a while, another Daluo Jinxian sitting here, Qiu Qianren, the Golden Wolf King of the Nanfei Tiger Empire, spoke, "If there is a trade war, what should be done? How long is it expected to be effective? What can be achieved?
Effect?"
Zhang Hao said without hesitation: "Before talking about trade war, we must first explain economy and trade.
The economy of a large empire is like the sea; to fight against the sea, you can only use the sea;
To fight against one country's economy, you can only use another country's economy.
This is a total qualitative confrontation.
In addition, unlike traditional wars, trade wars do not have a definite and visible battlefield, nor a tangible direction of attack, nor an army in the traditional sense. If it must be explained, it is the synthesis of the two countries.
The collision of national powers.
In this kind of collision, wisdom cannot be ignored, but what is more important is the competition in comprehensive national strength. This is a head-on collision, with little room for trickery. The strong will take what the weak want.
In this world of spiritual practice, master practitioners themselves are also representatives of wealth. We must prevent the other party from jumping over the wall in a hurry, such as various privateering groups.
Therefore, to attack the Tianshui Empire's economy, it is necessary to launch large-scale trade. This scale of trade will involve at least two huge empires.
In this starry sky, there are four great empires. Two of them belong to the Blue Star Group: the Minghui Empire and the Daxia Empire. Then there are the Tianshui Empire and the Tian'a Empire."
Zhang Hao drew a circle with his finger on the star map, marking the locations of the four empires (different symbols represent the territories of each country):
【…………&Tianshui Empire&
Minghui##天阿Empire￥
Empire####***￥￥
...**Daxia Empire*]
Zhang Hao drew a circle on the map (it felt so familiar), pointed at the four empires and continued: "If you want to launch a trade war against the Tianshui Empire, the Minghui Empire alone is not enough.
In order to achieve scale, and taking into account the positional relationship of the four empires, my suggestion is to launch a trade war against the Tianshui Empire and Tian'a Empire at the same time.
Using the Minghui Empire and the Daxia Empire as a springboard, they gathered the wealth and power of the entire Blue Star Group to launch a tsunami-style trade war against the Tianshui Empire and the Tian'a Empire, destroying the two empires in one fell swoop.
It may take more than ten years or even longer.”
Qiu Qianren frowned slightly and thought. Regarding this unprecedented trade war, he was a little frightened: "Zhang Hao, you are saying that the trade war is a direct collision between two empires, and there is no room for relaxation, right?"
"If we decide to start a trade war, then no. Once any war starts, it is difficult to end easily."
"But it is said in the art of war that if you kill an enemy by one thousand, you will suffer eight hundred losses. How will our losses be in this kind of collision?"
Zhang Hao showed a little confidence on his lips: "Senior, don't worry. The biggest feature of a trade war is that the losses are not enough to give more than enough! The strong will become stronger through the blood-sucking effect; the weak will only gradually weaken and eventually die of weakness."
"But what you said is all theoretical! Does Dayang Group have relevant experience?"
"Yes!" Zhang Hao said with certainty, "In fact, at the beginning of the rise of Dayang Group, similar tactics were used within Tianyuan Star. Later, we used similar tactics when facing partners such as the Golden Eagle Empire."
At this moment, many people's eyes changed when they looked at Zhang Hao.
Zhang Hao continued with a confident smile on his lips: "But because we are all partners, we did not do everything right, but stopped when enough was enough, and even provided assistance. This is how Blue Star's trading system was formed today.
But what if Dayang Group doesn’t help?”
Looking around slowly, Zhang Hao looked at the representative of the Golden Eagle Empire, the former Prime Minister Xiang Yan Bing, and his tone seemed to have a hint of gloominess: "Everyone can refer to the experience of the Golden Eagle Empire.
After cooperating with Dayang Group, because the price of elixirs was pushed to the limit, a large number of alchemists were unemployed, and the entire traditional alchemy system collapsed. From medicinal material suppliers to final elixir sellers, almost one-tenth of the people in the entire empire were affected.
had an impact.
However, Dayang Group injected funds and technology at the right time, and jointly established the elixir industry chain with the Golden Eagle Empire, averting the crisis and bringing the Golden Eagle Empire to a new peak.
There are also primary spiritual materials and low-level magic weapons. Due to the entry of industrial technology, the prices of low-level spiritual materials and low-level magic weapons have dropped significantly, almost causing the underlying manufacturing industry of the Golden Eagle Empire to collapse.
However, Dayang Group also injected capital and technology at the right time, and joined forces with the Golden Eagle Empire to create a new industrial system.
There are many similar ones, so I won’t list them all.
In this regard, I think Representative Xiang Yan Bing has the most say."
Everyone's eyes suddenly turned to Xiang Yanbing. Facing the gazes of many immortals, golden immortals, and even Da Luo Jinxian, Xiang Yanbing did not have the nerves as big as Zhang Hao, and cold sweat soaked through his clothes in an instant.
Xiang Yanbing took a deep breath and stood up slowly, "Mr. Zhang said... we actually had internal discussions. The result of the discussion was that if Dayang Group hadn't provided timely assistance every time, the Golden Eagle Empire would have declined long ago."
At this point, Xiang Yanbing glanced at Zhang Hao and hesitated before saying: "Let me tell you something that may cause misunderstanding. Looking back now, after the war, after we signed the peace agreement, during the transaction with Dayang Group,
It can be said that I walk on the edge of the cliff every day.
Our safety, our future, and our hope all depend on Dayang Group's tolerance.
Taking basic medicinal materials and elixirs as an example, Dayang Group can purchase the medicinal materials at a slightly higher price and monopolize the medicinal materials market; then sell the elixirs at a relatively low price to monopolize the basic elixir market and drive out competitors.
After all the competitors have fallen, the basic elixir market of the Golden Eagle Empire will be Dayang Group's one-stop shop.
And because the cost of the basic elixirs of Dayang Group is very low, they can easily do it. They can even harvest unimaginable wealth. And what Dayang Group pays is only a small technical cost.
If Dayang Group does this, they can harvest the wealth of the Golden Eagle Empire again and again just like cutting leeks.
In terms of medicinal materials and elixirs, spiritual materials and magic weapons, food, clothing, housing and transportation, etc., the Jin Dynasty has little power to resist. Especially in the post-war situation."
Everyone's expressions changed a little when they thought about the situation of the Golden Eagle Empire.
Xiang Yanbing took a deep breath and continued: "In general, we are grateful to Dayang Group for its mercy. Therefore, we also agree with the horror of the trade war.
I am glad that Dayang Group has never released the monster of trade war; I am even more fortunate to have the opportunity to fight side by side with Dayang Group.
Seniors and fellow Taoists, I am convinced that the horror caused by a complete trade war will be beyond everyone’s imagination!”
