"Your Majesty, we have no other way to go now. In addition to consolidating and strengthening our relationship with the Three Kingdoms Alliance and the South China Alliance, we also use the Japanese to involve part of the energy of the Tang Dynasty. In addition, I plan to take a detour to the sea to secretly visit the countries of Liberia. I believe that they are as restless as us. If we can establish a more effective linkage mechanism, if the Tang Dynasty attacks us, they will launch an offensive in the north to restrain it. If the Tang Dynasty attacks the Liberia people, we will attack in the south. Only in this way may we slightly relieve our respective pressures, but it is not easy to establish such a mechanism based on absolute mutual trust, especially when we did not have substantial cooperation before."

Lei Juetian said this with some difficulty, which was also a helpless move. It was not easy to join forces with the Liberians. The distance between the two sides was an insurmountable obstacle. It was not possible to build a practical and effective linkage mechanism just by just talking and holding two talks. This involved the interests and regime system of various countries. Will the Liberians launch an offensive in the north to restrain the empire because the empire attacked Machikhan? Who can guarantee this? Will the Liberians believe in their own guarantee? Will the Three Kingdoms Alliance do this in the future? It is very difficult to solve this series of complex problems.

"Juetian, there must be quite a difficulty in this, but I think there is hope for success in it. After all, we have a common basis for interests. If we are finished, no matter which country in Liberia, they should know that even if the Liberias unite, it may be difficult for them to compete with the Tang Dynasty. Without any worries, there is no country on the Eastern Continent that can survive under the might of the Tang Dynasty. In terms of the contradiction between the Liberias and the Tang Dynasty, I think the possibility of forming an alliance with the Liberias is even greater than that with the Three Kingdoms alliance. What do you think?" Bi Xili said in a deep voice.

Hearing Bi Xili say this, Lei Juetian stopped and thought about it carefully. He only considered the difficulty of this matter at the beginning, and indeed ignored the sense of crisis of survival under the pressure of the Tang Dynasty. When a country faces a survival crisis, they can agree to any conditions. It is undoubtedly quite tempting for them to have a strong foreign aid.

"Your Majesty means that we should immediately find a way to contact the Liberians and form such alliances as much as possible?" After pondering for a moment, Lei Juetian was also a little moved.

"Yes, that's what I think. Juetian, look at Pokaninsky, who are in charge of the Sisro people, Kaman's Huacili and Knox, the pillars of Liberians, both of which are much more practical and mature than before. Both countries have strong potential for war. The reason why it has been difficult to improve is that they attach too much importance to the interests under their noses and ignore the decisive role of domestic economic development on the comprehensive strength of the country, which leads to putting the cart before the horse. Gomez was originally a very outstanding prime minister, but he was too eager to succeed. If Gomez could digest it well after swallowing the northern part of the Delok and then take the opportunity to destroy the people of the northern part of the Boyin, I think Kaman alone would be enough to make the Tang Dynasty feel a headache."

"The same is true for the Sisluo people. The former rulers have always been obsessed with annexing the northwest and the west is controlled by the nomadic peoples. As a result, national strength has been continuously consumed in such a fruitless war. If the current measures were taken earlier, Li Wufeng would have not risen long ago. Now both countries have realized the seriousness of the problem, so they have not hesitated to compromise and develop national strength to fight against the Tang Dynasty. But everyone knows that it is no longer effective to take this method to fight against the Tang Dynasty. The only way is to unite and maintain a stalemate as much as possible, and leave it to change within the Tang Dynasty."

Bi Xili's eyes were deep and dark, and he looked particularly solemn.

"Does Your Majesty think there will be any changes within the Tang Dynasty?" Lei Juetian's heart moved slightly.

"I can't be sure yet, but think about it, how much energy has we spent to digest just by annexing Anjie, Yuejing and Ronesia? Compared to us, the Tang Dynasty annexed more than ten times. Do these areas have no tendency to become centrifugal? They all obey the rule of the Tang Dynasty and accept the assimilation of the Tang Dynasty? Are there no one or two outstanding people in each nation who want to make their nation independent of the Tang Dynasty to achieve his generation's reputation? Li Wufeng is now overwhelming, so naturally no one dares to challenge his authority, but can we guarantee that it will be like this in the future? Li Wufeng is ambitious, but he may not think so after he gets older. He is a hero, and is his son also a hero?"

Bi Xili's words are low, but obviously after careful consideration: "For a huge empire, especially for an empire conquered by military means, economic development is unbalanced, contradictions in ethnic and religious beliefs, weak control of the empire center over remote areas, huge differences in culture and customs in various regions, etc. may cause many problems. Perhaps it can be suppressed when an empire's military power is very strong, but once there is a certain change, these contradictions and signs will be like

The weeds in the wilderness in spring will grow wildly after just a rain. As long as it is not handled properly, it may bring a catastrophe to this empire. I think the best way for us now is to drag it down, drag it down, try our best to unite allies to avoid war as much as possible. However, when we really cannot avoid war, we must do our best to make the war last and make the contradictions within the huge empire of the Tang Dynasty as much as possible. Perhaps only in this way can we have room for survival.”

Bi Xili's words left Lei Juetian speechless for a moment. Bi Xili's idea was good, but the key to the problem lies in whether Machikhan and other countries could survive this situation? The strength shown by the Tang Dynasty is obvious that it will not take long to prove through force that war cannot be fought for five years and ten years. Although protracted war will certainly cause many problems within the Tang Dynasty, how long can the national strength of these countries last? However, one thing in the Khan's words is accurate, that is, the Liberians are in the same situation as their own. Perhaps this can allow the Liberians and the Liberians to understand each other in negotiations.

Cui Wenxiu carefully read every newspaper from the imperial capital and major newspapers. Although most of the important news published in the newspapers have been learned from the imperial capital, Cui Wenxiu still hopes to understand the changes in the people's sentiments and trends of the imperial capital from the reactions of major newspapers to these news and events. In fact, the changes in the emotions of the people in the capital in some way represent the views of the entire empire, especially the mainland of the empire. This greatly affects the wishes of the representatives of the Imperial Senate and the Citizen House. Even His Majesty the Emperor will respect the voices of these representatives in many cases.

There is not much news about the Central Continent. Apart from the construction of two major ports and the Southern Indian De'an Road in the empire, which attracted a climax of attention to the Baltic and Aegean regions in the empire, there is nothing special. The construction of the Kuiyang Mansion and Pamir Mansion is also expected. Whether from a strategic perspective or an economic development perspective, these two places will be the strategic bridgehead for the empire to deal with the Luzons in the future. In particular, the Kuiyang Mansion is the best fulcrum for the empire to continuously extend its power south to west to eat up the Luzons' sphere of influence on this land.

It seems that His Majesty the Emperor still succumbed to the pressure of the development of the economy within the empire. Judging from the development outline announced in 701, consolidating the connection between the Central Continent and the empire's hinterland and improving the disaster resistance in the empire became the main theme. In this regard, Cui Wenxiu could also understand that the connection between the Central Continent and the empire was not only too far, but the passage was only carried out through northwest land. No matter how Your Majesty trusted him, the important officials in the court still tended to compress their power in administrative affairs and use economic means to make the Central Continent and the empire's hinterland closer. Cui Wenxiu understood and accepted this point. He had no other ideas, so he simply took the initiative to ask the Indian and German regions to open a county and establish a prefecture as soon as possible to express his positive attitude, which could also make many people feel worried.

The empire now attaches so much importance to the construction of farmland water conservancy in the Five Lakes and the north. It seems that it has suffered a lot in the flood and drought disaster last year. It has gained wisdom after one's mistake. In addition, the empire is also worried that the economic development of the empire's mainland will be surpassed by the surrounding areas, which will lead to the phenomenon of weak masters and strong masters. Now, after some new territories have been included in the imperial rule, with new officials taking office, officials have worked hard to develop their economy in order to prove their abilities and show their ambitions. The economies of some regions have begun to show explosive growth, which has made all counties in the empire feel pressure. The empire has always been proud that the economy and culture of the interior is far superior to other regions. Once this advantage is lost, it will be detrimental to maintain the centripetal force of the empire and maintain the condescending situation of the empire's central government. In addition to promoting the Tang Dynasty in terms of culture, it is also very necessary to maintain the absolute advantage of the empire's economy and other regions.
