"Whenever spring comes, thousands of flowers bloom, endless colorful butterflies fly, and in midsummer, the greenery is endless, the beasts are contending and the birds are flying together."
"When the autumn air baptizes the earth, the place where the eyes can see is full of rich golden brilliance, and when the winter snow falls, the frost and white dye everything, the severe cold washes away the dust, and the mortal world returns to silence."
"The reincarnation of the four seasons evolves thousands of beautiful scenery in the world. And the end of a lifetime is only a short hundred years, and it is difficult to watch a ten-millionth of it even if you spend your whole life."
"Everyone, this world is so beautiful, so......."
At this point, Katerina suddenly turned her head and looked at the people sitting there, her gaze was as sharp as a blade,
"So why don't we take the initiative to control it, but let it fall into the hands of some annoying people?!"
After the voice fell, the hall was silent. Some people bowed their heads silently without saying a word, some stared at the map with serious eyes, and some looked worried and hesitated to speak.
I have to say that Katerina's remarks are still a bit deceptive. To a certain extent, it really disturbed the minds of several chief executive officers, and even made them forget for a while how to persuade the girl to give up the delusions in their hearts... ...... But if only this is not enough!
All the people present are political veterans, and they are also the leaders of various political groups in the political arena of the Burros Kingdom. Excellent language can certainly disturb people's hearts, but the only thing that can really convince political creatures is profit!
In the cold political field, there has never been a living space for subjective sensibility!
Such axioms, Katerina, who is also a political creature, naturally will not understand, the words just now are just a means for her to block the words of admonition from everyone, the real focus is put behind by the girl, just wait Then someone brought it out.
"His Majesty!"
I don't know how long it took before finally someone couldn't help breaking the silence. The person who spoke was still Andy. At this moment, this important minister who has gone through the old and new generations of the Burros Dynasty looked even more serious than before.
"I have something to say, I have to say it, and please forgive me..."
"The total population under Burros' command is less than 40, and the territory under his effective control does not exceed [-] square kilometers. Although he has the Armada as his reliance, he is fortunate to be called a maritime power, but the country is actually small and weak."
"Using the ocean as a dangerous obstacle, we can still run rampant for a while, but it is too reluctant to intervene in continental disputes. If we accidentally arouse the anger of the empire, we will undoubtedly seek our own death."
"I implore Your Majesty to put state affairs first, and carefully consider the matter of intervening in mainland disputes!"
At this moment, after listening to Andy's words of admonition, Katerina did not respond directly, but turned around pretending to be careless, and looked around at the other people in the hall.
At a glance, I saw several chief executive officers with hesitant expressions on their faces, looking in a dilemma. Seeing this, Katerina sighed faintly in her heart, and then, the girl looked at Andy again in the direction of his eyes, his gaze was as sharp as a sword glow,
"Andy, I admit that what you said is very reasonable, but have you thought about it? After the empire unifies the mainland, how should I, Burrows, deal with myself?"
Hearing Katerina's question, Andy didn't even think about it, and responded almost instinctively,
"Your Majesty, please don't worry about this. I, Burros, are suspended overseas, with the ocean as a barrier and the Armada as a barrier. No matter how strong the iron hooves of the imperial cavalry are, to us, it is just... ......"
"Heh!" At this moment, before Andy could finish speaking, Katerina interrupted him with a sneer, and then, the girl stared coldly at the Burros official, and scolded unceremoniously,
"Andy Qing, just now you refuted me based on actual data, why are the thoughts in your mind now starting to refer to subjective emotions again?"
"You have also said yourself that Burros is small and poor, and only the navy can be relied on. But after the empire unifies the mainland, there will be hundreds of high-quality ports under the empire's command, and the resources of the entire continent will serve as a source of support. Support, based on this, the number of fleets under his command can easily exceed [-]!"
"At that time, the ocean will be completely flat for the empire, and how will Burros, who has lost his support, resist the imperial army?!"
"This..." At this moment, Andy was stunned when he suddenly heard Katerina's words. He seemed to realize for the first time that the future situation could be Developed to the step that the girl said.
The reason for this situation is not that Katerina is wise and Andy is stupid, but because of the human social and cultural forms of this world and the limitations of the times.
In this world, human civilization is still in the period of aristocratic enfeoffment. Most of the time, the order mode of human society is similar to the organizational form of "small government".
As the ruling class, the aristocracy’s main function is to maintain the order of their own territory. As for the advanced consciousness of promoting civilization and progress and shouldering social responsibilities, I’m sorry, the class characteristics of the aristocrats make them think in a “top-down” way Yes, and those advanced consciousnesses must start from the overall human society if they want to be produced. This requires the nobles as rulers to think from the standpoint of the people at the bottom. This is really too embarrassing for them.
Back to the topic, the characteristics of a small government determine that its social organization is weak, and the weak social organization also determines that the power that the ruling class can control is limited. Therefore, the political structure of a country ultimately determines the thinking framework of its ruling class.
Among the nobles, Andy can definitely be regarded as an elite figure. His military and political talents are the top choice among the nobles in the Burros Kingdom. However, he is a small government organization after all. The products born under the sun have the same vision and consciousness as other nobles, which have great limitations.
This limitation is largely manifested in the inability to make reasonable and effective policy planning for what may happen in the future.
Take the current matter as an example. At this time, the all-out war on the mainland has not yet begun, and the two camps are still in the stage of border conflict. Although it seems that the empire has a better chance of winning, after all, the war drama has just begun. No one knows where the situation will go. As for the empire's unification of the mainland, there is no such thing as a shadow.
In this case, Andy's perspective on thinking about the problem will naturally take the situation in front of him as the origin, and his thinking radius is also very short, and the length of five years is the limit.However, the empire wants to complete the great cause of unification, and its time span obviously far exceeds this length. In Andy's cognition, considering such a long time span is tantamount to worrying about the sky, and a wise man would not do it.
But Katerina is different. She is a civil servant trained by the red regime of different time and space. Although she is not a political elite, she is the product of the big government organization. The biggest characteristic of the big government is that it likes to make long-term policies. Planning is often a century-old project.
As Katerina, who has personally witnessed how the Chinese government has completed a series of great achievements such as "eliminating the desert", "marching the moon in nine days", and "traveling thousands of miles" with careful and detailed planning, her thinking direction is natural would favor the big government model.
Ever since, the possibility that the empire might unify the mainland in a few decades, in the eyes of Katerina, who is accustomed to seeing the plans of a century, can be regarded as an imminent crisis. Under the pressure of the crisis, the girl's perspective on the problem is naturally also Totally different from Andy.
"What? Have you nothing to say?"
At this moment, seeing that Andy has been pushed into the corner by herself, Katerina said unceremoniously again,
"It seems that Andy Qing has never considered this issue, has he?"
"Then think about it from now on, otherwise it will be too late to think about it when the empire really hits the door!"
As Katerina's voice fell, Andy fell into complete silence. At this time, he hung his head in silence, his eyes looked very dignified, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"Your Majesty, I have doubts, I hope His Majesty can clarify one or two."
Seeing that Andy had nothing to say, someone on the field spoke again, and this time, the speaker was Theodore Arnold.
At this time, I saw the Chief Executive Officer of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stand up with a heavy face, and after bowing respectfully to Katerina, he asked in a serious tone,
"What His Majesty said just now really convinced the subject, but what His Excellency Andy said also revealed the current situation of my Boulrose."
"Our Burros country is small and poor, and we can still run rampant on the ocean for a while. If we rashly intervene in continental disputes, we will inevitably have insufficient strength."
"So, I am confused, I don't know how His Majesty plans to start? Do you have a detailed strategy? I am willing to listen."
After listening to Theodore's speech, Katerina squinted her eyes slightly. After glancing at the servant in front of her, who was generally regarded as her running dog by the outside world, the girl seemed to understand something, and then used her hands pointed at the map with his wooden stick, and at the same time said calmly,
"As for how to enter the mainland, I do have a plan in my mind, and I will tell you now, and you will help me to go into details......"
At this moment, at the moment when Katerina opened her mouth, all the servants in the hall disappeared strangely except for Avril Lavigne, and the chief executive officers who were sitting were all sitting upright at this time. Standing up and putting on a posture of listening respectfully, the next moment, the girl's voice slowly echoed in the hall,
"The current situation in the mainland is that the two camps are opposing each other. The empire wants to unify the mainland, but the alliance is unwilling to kill each other, so the two sides are bound to die."
"On the other hand, I want to take control of the mainland, but the current national strength of Burros is too weak to participate as an independent third party, so there is only one path left for us...... .Weaken the strong and help the weak, strengthen ourselves, and then wait for the opportunity."
"The current strength comparison between the two sides, the empire is strong and the alliance is weak, we must find a way to weaken the strength of the empire, or strengthen the strength of the alliance."
"It is too difficult to intervene in the empire. Forcing it will cost a lot and the results will be small. Therefore, I plan to teach the production technology of guns and cannons to the alliance in the name of exchanging the trade priority of the various seaports of the alliance countries to strengthen the alliance strength."
"A large part of the reason for the strength of the Imperial Army is that the Imperial Knights are invincible and unstoppable. If the alliance side obtains our guns and cannons, the threat of the Imperial Knights will be greatly weakened. At that time, the Empire will no longer want to win. , it’s not that easy.”
"When the empire suffers losses and is weaker than the alliance, we are helping the empire. Repeatedly, this war will be turned into a long war of attrition."
"Taking advantage of this time, we will vigorously promote social development in Burros, further optimize the marine system, so as to comprehensively enhance the country's comprehensive strength, and then watch the fire from the other side, weaken the strong and support the weak, and wait until the empire and the alliance are both at a loss, and then come forward to reap the benefits. In order to gain the foundation of kingship."
At this point, Katerina paused slightly, and after glancing at the chief executives who were deep in thought, she revealed a resolute voice, which sounded again in the hall,
"The whole plan, I will divide it into four major steps, each step is expected to take five years to complete, a total of 20 years. The plan involves agriculture, industry, people's livelihood, education, military and other fields, and requires all of us to work together. ii can only be completed with hard work."
"And once the plan is successful, after 20 years, there will be a brand new Burros in the world, one that can compete head-on with the Empire on the mainland!"
At this moment, when Katerina's voice fell, several chief executive officers present couldn't help raising their heads any longer, and all looked at their lord. The light in the eyes is as dazzling and brilliant as the scorching sun, making one unable to move one's eyes away, but when one looks closely, the depths of the eyes are like a pool, unfathomable.
How can such a bold statement, such a magnanimity, and such a character not make people heartbroken.
It is never a bad thing for the courtiers that the monarch is aggressive. As long as the monarch is not brain-dead, the courtiers are eager to stick to their tails in order to seek greater glory.And it is obvious that the current Katerina perfectly meets the standard of "Mingjun" from any angle.
After a moment of silence, several chief executive officers looked at each other, and quickly confirmed that there was intent in each other's eyes.So, after carefully pondering what Katerina just said just now, and confirming that it is extremely operable, the chief executive officers secretly made a decision in their hearts.
At the same time, looking at the group of chief executives who were silent but obviously moved, Katerina took a deep breath, then took a step forward suddenly, and resolutely said loudly,
"Everyone! I have a dream, to climb the highest mountain in the world!"
"I want to see the mountains with thousands of weights, and the endless earth!"
"I want to hear the first bell in the sky, and the first touch of red when the sun hits the ground!"
"However, the road to climbing the mountain is extremely dangerous, the future is long, and there are thousands of thorns. With my own strength, I will definitely exhaust it."
"Everyone, would you like to help me?"
"On the day of success, I will share the beautiful scenery and magnificent scenery on the top of the mountain with you!"
After the words fell, the chief executive officers present finally stopped being silent. Everyone stood up almost at the same time, bowed to Katerina to the end, and shouted in unison,
"Your Majesty...willing to die for His Majesty!"
Chapter 190 186. The end of the Gnedan people
Two months later, in a primeval rainforest in the southern part of Goroldo, a group of nimble teams were moving through the dense forest like apes.
Moving his eyes, he saw that there was no distinction between men and women in this group of people. They were all naked, with only a few key parts covered. Their exposed skin generally showed a vigorous brown-black color, and there were tattoos on their skin. There are weird lines, each line clearly reveals the original and wild atmosphere.
These people are the Gnedanians whom the civilized world regards as primitive peoples, but it is worth mentioning that although the civilized world calls these people Gnedanians, they do not call themselves so.
In fact, there is no clear racial division standard among the Gnedan people. Their civilization level is still at the stage of primitive tribes. They have never had the concept of being the same nation because of similar skin color and habits. , beat each other to the bone.
Currently, this team traveling through the southern rainforest is from a tribe named "Fire Crow". This tribe has several hundred people. A more powerful force.
Since the Gnedan people generally follow the law of the jungle, they basically have no legal awareness. Often, the stronger the strength, the more supplies and territories they can occupy. For a large territory, as long as some powerful large tribes are not provoked, the living standards of the tribesmen should be relatively moist among the Gnedan people.
However, at this moment, all the members of this team generally showed a look of panic on their faces, and their steps were flustered and frivolous, as if they were being chased by something terrible, and they seemed to be panicking.
"... Sanger, hoo~~, let's take a rest first."
I don't know how long it took, but in the middle of the line, someone suddenly came out, and then trotted all the way to the front of the line, gasped and said to the leading figure,
"Huh~~, look back, the clansman.....the clansman is almost unable to hold on anymore, if you run any further, you should disperse."
Hearing the figure next to his ears, the man called "Sanger" subconsciously looked back, and looked at the clansmen who were panting as if they had reached their limit. He frowned deeply and thought for a moment. Finally, Although he looked struggling, he still raised his clenched fist above his head, signaling the team to stop for now.
Seeing Sanger's gesture, the advancing team stopped quickly, and the aura of rushing for life before was relaxed in an instant. Most of the people didn't care about anything, and just fell to the ground.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Sanger subconsciously wanted to say something, but in the end he chose to keep his mouth shut.
"Sangger, don't worry......."
On the other side, the man who just suggested to Sanger, after seeing the expression on Sanger's face, he sat down next to Sanger, and while breathing heavily, he persuaded in a harmonious voice,
"Look, we have already run so far now, and there is no burden around us, those guys will definitely not be able to catch up with us."
"It's better to let everyone have a good rest first. If we continue running like this, I'm afraid we will be exhausted before those guys catch up."
"Besides, the destination is coming soon, so even if there is any trouble, we don't have to be afraid."
At this moment, listening to the man's words, Sanger had no intention of replying at all, but just hung his head to himself, not knowing what he was thinking.On the other side, seeing that Sanger didn't answer, the man felt that he was being bored, and his face was a little uneasy. After that, he didn't say anything more, and simply closed his eyes to rest his mind. The atmosphere on the field suddenly became quiet down.
It was noon at this time, and the sun was extremely hot. The plants in the jungle gave full play to their survival instincts, relying on the leaves at the top of the jungle to form an airtight canopy, trying their best to lock every trace of water vapor, and this made The inside of the jungle became extremely hot, and the people staying inside were like entering a pressure cooker, and the moisture in their bodies was crazily flowing away.
In such a harsh environment, most people will become anxious and easy to think wildly, and Sanger is no exception. Although he can't see anything on the surface, there is an evil fire burning in his heart. They are gnawing at his sanity.
