The sound of a silent needle falling from the magnificent Zhengda Guangming Hall can be heard.

The ministers looked solemn, thinking about the emperor's words.

They admitted that they had been a little inflated during this period, and the thinking of the Great Chongqing Kingdom and the Supreme Kingdom began to spread in the court again, which led to some ministers becoming unintentional and focusing on the struggle for internal rights.

As the top and bottom are effective, this bad influence naturally spread to local prefectures and counties. Now the information sent by Niu Ben undoubtedly made these people tremble in their hearts and realize that it is not the time to relax.

Xiao Ming's eyes swept over the ministers. He had already seen some clues of the problem, that is, the Great Chongqing Kingdom needs the enemy, and only crisis can keep the country enterprising vitality.

After all, only when facing foreign enemies can the ruling class of a country show unprecedented unity, which is also conducive to the growth of national sentiment. Otherwise, from officials to the people, they will fall into internal struggle and become lazy in government affairs.

This is why in contemporary countries, countries can maintain vitality only by threatening and competing with each other.

"You have also heard General Niu's words. Now there are many enemies in the Great Yu Kingdom. Even if the Great Yu Kingdom is a tiger, the wolves can still threaten the survival of the Great Yu Kingdom. I hope all my dear friends will remember this and do their own things well."

"Yes, the Emperor."

The civil and military officials in the court said in unison.

Turning his head and looking at Niu Ben, Xiao Ming asked: "What are the advantages of the military machinery of the Tubo and the Jin Horde?"

"At the end, we will think that the most important of the two is the Golden Horde. Dorgo flattered Tsarist Russia in order to unite Tsarist Russia to regain Kanto and even destroy the Great Chongqing Kingdom. Tsarist Russia also has the ambition to expand eastward. They can be said to be in a collusion. If the threats of the two are not crushed, there will never be peace in the north." The bull ran and said loudly.

Fiji frowned and said, "Tubo seems to be a difficult person to accompany. If Tubo had not released the barbarians in, there would have been no tragedy of hundreds of thousands of casualties in Bashu. Now that Tubo is mixed with the British again, it will definitely be even more unscrupulous. After all, Tubo is backed by British India, which is a country with hundreds of millions of people. The most important thing is that the British have also achieved rule over here."

The cabinet ministers of the current countries in the world know very well, but other officials don’t know that when they hear that India’s population is comparable to that of the Great Chongqing Kingdom, they all become nervous.

There is a threat from Tsarist Russia in the north, and the southwest does not seem to be a place of peace.

"The southwest is a remote place. The military strength of the Great Yu Kingdom is difficult to reach, and the supply is even more difficult as the sky. It is inevitable to suffer some losses for the time being. The northern railway has extended to Kanto, and it is extremely easy for soldiers and supplies. Compared with the two, we naturally have to attack the north first. Only when the threat from the north is gone can we move south with peace of mind. After all, the north is too close to Qingzhou, so there cannot be any mistakes. "Luo Quan's opinion is consistent with Niu Ben.

Fiji was just nagging, so he was unhappy to take care of the military affairs. After all, government affairs and the military are now governing separately, so he said: "It's up to the emperor to make the decision."

Xiao Ming smiled, "The army is still in the process of war. The two generals said it well, and the most important thing at present is the north."

After saying that, he signaled Qian Dafu and asked Qian Dafu to spread the world map in the hall.

This world map was printed, and the sphere of influence was marked according to the situation of the secret guards. The moment the huge map spread out in front of civil and military officials, everyone's eyes gathered.

At this time, Xiao Ming walked down from the hall, stepping on the map as if he was stepping on a carpet. He took a bamboo pole from Qian Dafu and pointed to the north.

"Look, although the Golden Horde lost the land in Kanto, their territory is still huge, from Raozhou to this place."

At this time, Xiao Ming pointed to an ocean in the middle of the inland, "This place is called the Caspian Sea, and the land of the Golden Horde is all here. The north of the Golden Horde is all the land of Tsarist Russia. There are also some Khanate of Central Asia under the Golden Horde. Among them, the Ottoman Empire in the south of the Caspian Sea is the most powerful, followed by Persia and British Afghanistan."

Seeing such a clear map of forces, the officials were shocked. In order to show the difference, Xiao Ming marked the map with different colors, among which the Dayu Kingdom was red, the Golden Horde was golden, and Tsarist Russia was brown. In comparison, the land of these two forces was more than ten times that of the current Dayu Kingdom.

After all, the current sphere of influence of the Great Yu Kingdom does not include Tubo and the northern grasslands.

"It is incredible that Tsarist Russia actually eroded such a vast land in the north." Yang Chengye said shocked. The map was marked clearly. He used to be very vague about Europe, but now he can see every continent in the world clearly at a glance.

The colours and colors of European countries on the map are the same. Fiji sighed: "This UK is really not simple. Why is the entire map full of British territory?"

"It's so strange that they want to be enemies with the Great Yu Kingdom. Now they have put all their hands into our vassal states. No wonder these vassal states no longer pay tribute to us." Zhan Xingchang said angrily.

Xiao Ming was walking leisurely on the world map, and he said, "Now you should have some understanding of the current world. I can tell you that the most important resource areas in the world are not in our hands."

While saying that, Xiao Ming pointed to Australia, "There are rich iron ore and coal here, and there is something called oil here. After the electricity is applied, internal gas will probably have to be raised on the agenda. Without such thing as oil, we will be very passive, and even the lifeblood will be held in the hands of others."

Then he pointed to South America, "Rubber is the product here, and the tires of bicycles are made of rubber. I won't talk about their importance. Now this place is controlled by Europeans, and only the Dutch sells it to us at a high price. Once the Dutch changes its diplomatic strategy and turns to Europe, we will lose the source of rubber, and it will take more than ten years for the rubber tree in the Great Chongqing Kingdom to grow."

Every time Xiao Ming pointed to a place, the officials looked solemn. Now they understood the dilemma facing the Great Yu Kingdom. It turned out that some scarce resources were actually controlled by outsiders. How could this be so great?

"The emperor, for the future development of the Great Chongqing Kingdom, the emperor thought that he would send troops to compete with European countries for these resource-rich areas in order to be shackled by others in the future." Pang Yukun said first.

"That's right, my great country, how can these barbarians squeeze their necks?"

“…”

The ministers in the court were indignant.
