Chapter 640
"The current situation is definitely not something you and me, or even anyone can change. Just as we must put the interests of the empire first, from the prime minister, tens of millions of soldiers and civilians will also put the interests of the empire first. The core interests of any empire are actually realizing global hegemony, that is, dominating the world. Unfortunately, on this narrow planet, one can only be tolerated by a hegemony."
When Wang Kaiyuan said this, Bai Zhizhan and Li Yunxiang both smiled bitterly.
In fact, Wang Kaiyuan should have returned to the empire with Wallace. After seeing Li Yunxiang, he temporarily changed his itinerary and said that he wanted to go to the Nayi Empire to deal with some six-frame affairs. Anyway, he stayed in just one or two days and went to Dongdu Bay with the Qinling.
"Don't sigh, this is the inevitable result." After Bai Zhizhan and Li Yunxiang turned their eyes, Wang Kaiyuan continued: "Although we are not witnesses, we can all think that the alliance with the Tsuman Empire was just a temporary solution. If it weren't for the defeat in the last war, this confrontation situation would have long been there. If the leaders above were not prepared, the ghost would not believe it."
"You mean..." As soon as Li Yunxiang said that, he closed his mouth.
Bai Zhizhan didn't say anything, but just looked at Wang Kaiyuan and waited for him to continue talking.
Wang Kaiyuan hesitated for a moment before saying, "It was you two, I said. Do you think there is really a conflict between the Prime Minister and the Emperor?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Bai Zhizhan was stunned immediately.
On the contrary, it was Li Yunxiang, who probably thought of it at the beginning, so he didn't act too surprised.
The inside story revealed by Wang Kaiyuan is indeed very explosive.
Xue Yuanzheng and the emperor are acting!
However, Bai Zhizhan immediately understood.
Xue Yuanzheng has always pursued a tough foreign policy, and he personally decided on all the strategic plans before the war, so he is a representative of the pro-war faction in the minds of the military and civilians.
In a sense, Xue Yuanzheng represents the Imperial Army.
Obviously, it is impossible for him to change his position for no reason.
More importantly, he is the chief minister of the empire, the highest executive of the empire, and one of the most influential figures in the world.
In terms of international status, only Lofos can compete with him.
According to post-war evaluation, he and Lofoss were the two main promoters of the Second Global War and the number one promoter of rewriting the world order after the First Global War.
The key is that Xue Yuanzheng has lived in the official residence of the Chief Auxiliary for more than ten years!
Then, the only one who can make him surrender is the Emperor of the Empire.
It can be seen that the imperial emperor came forward at this time to make Xue Yuanzheng turn decently. In the future, it is still related to the aftermath work.
"As you say, before the war broke out, the prime minister had already..."
In the end, Bai Zhizhan not only turned his attention to Wang Kaiyuan, but also slowed down his speech.
"The two are the most outstanding generals in the empire. They must be able to figure out that it is not the soldiers who determine the world pattern, but war is just a means of struggle."
As soon as Wang Kaiyuan finished speaking, Li Yunxiang said: "After all, it is still due to interests."
Bai Zhizhan didn't speak, but his face had become very ugly.
Wang Kaiyuan smiled and said, "We are just mortals, so we cannot accurately predict the future, but we all understand history. More than two thousand years ago, Emperor Qin Shihuang was able to unify the land of China. In addition to having an invincible tiger and wolf army, the foundation laid by the previous six generations of emperors. Among them, Xiao Gong's contribution to the reform is the most. This is our basic understanding, but how many people know that there is another key factor?"
Bai Zhizhan turned his gaze and was no longer surprised by Wang Kaiyuan's deliberate behavior.
"The war lasted for hundreds of years in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period!"
"This..." Li Yunxiang was obviously a little surprised. Perhaps because he did not find a suitable reason to refute for a while, he did not continue.
Bai Zhizhan sighed.
"From another perspective, if there has been no war that has lasted for hundreds of years, no decay caused by war, and the impact on the aspiring people, do you think that with the power of a country, even if there is a tiger or wolf army, can you unify the world in just a few decades?"
"The world is thinking of home." Bai Zhizhan continued.
"Yes, the key is to think about your homeland!"
Bai Zhizhan sighed secretly, not knowing what to say for a moment.
"It is obvious that the current international situation is not serious enough to decline, so the efforts we make will not have good results." Wang Kaiyuan paused for a moment before saying: "If we want to feel better, we can say that we were not born in the right era. What we can do is to create a more ideal environment for our descendants. From another perspective, we have encountered an ideal era again, because no matter what, after the end of this war, there will definitely be decades of peace. Even if our generation can witness the next global war, we will definitely not have to charge. In a very contemporary saying, everything we do is to make contributions to the present and future generations. When it is our turn to go into battle, we may be able to achieve the unification of the world."
Now, even Li Yunxiang smiled bitterly.
Wang Kaiyuan didn't say anything anymore. After taking out the cigarette, he got up and went outside the cabin.
"Don't think too much about it. Wang Kaiyuan is just his virtue." Li Yunxiang said this, which was obviously a pity.
If you think too much, where can you think?
In fact, Wang Kaiyuan has made it very clear.
The era of empire dominating the world has not yet arrived, because at present, including the military and civilians of the empire, the result of global unification cannot be accepted.
Obviously, the same is true for Western powers.
This is the root cause!
Traditions, customs and cultures, and other things related to nationality have existed for thousands of years, while the era of globalization started on the basis of industrialization has been less than a century. To be precise, what can we use to break the barriers that have existed for thousands of years?
Can the imperial military and civilians tolerate a Westerner with blue eyes, blonde hair and white skin live in the official residence of the Chief Auxiliary?
If not, then why are the military and civilians of Western countries willing to obey the empire's instructions?
However, it is also like what Wang Kaiyuan said.
The damage caused by war is not serious enough, so no one feels peace is extremely precious, and no one is willing to give up anything else for peace.
In fact, this battle will not have a perfect result.
It's not just this battle.
Perhaps, the same will be true in the future.
As for when the perfect result will be achieved, it is unknown.
When Bai Zhizhan was thinking about this, Wang Kaiyuan returned to the cabin and deliberately flipped off the ashes from his clothes when he came in.
Although it was midnight, no one wanted to rest.
In a few hours, the Qinling River will enter Dongdu Bay, and the three of them will part ways.
Even if it won't be a farewell forever, it is very likely that the three of them will talk about the current situation calmly as friends.
At least as far as Bai Zhizhan knows, Wang Kaiyuan is the number one successor to Zhang of the next Military Intelligence Bureau.
Even if Wang Kaiyuan hopes to maintain a relationship with Bai Zhizhan and Li Yunxiang, he will reduce his contacts with the two commanders-in-chief for avoiding suspicion.
