Hundreds of years of inheritance have allowed the Fujiwara family to control a large amount of economic and political resources, but it has also made them more conservative and stubborn.

In the long run, the more powerful such a family is, the less good it will be for Japan. Mitsui Ichiro's vision is quite long-term.

Ichiro Mitsui smiled and said, "I want to ask Mr. Li Junji another question. Back then, our Japanese army was rare in the world for its strength, and its navy was also rare in the world. However, when the two powers were added together, they only got a weak result.

Does Mr. Li Junji know why this is?"

Ling Feng shook his head and asked, "Why?"

"Because of the direction."

"A question about direction?"

Mitsui Ichiro said: "Yes, it's a question of direction. At that time, there were two ideas of advancing northward and southward in our Empire of Japan. Affected by the Russo-Japanese War, the Army advocated advancing north, attacking the Soviet Union, and joining forces with Germany in

Eurasia.

The navy advocates moving south, because if it moves north, they will have no place to use it. On the other hand, moving south can rob China and Southeast Asia of resources, and then occupy the Pacific Ocean.

These two opinions were at loggerheads, and in order to compete for limited resources, they even went so far as to undermine each other, which led to our final failure.

The differences between me and the Fujiwara family today are exactly the same as those over the direction of the Army and Navy.

I am strong, and the Fujiwara family is also strong. I want to advance, but the Fujiwara family wants to defend, and the direction is completely different. If this momentum continues, the two strong forces will add up, and the result will be weak!

This is what I don’t want to see. Now, can Mr. Li Junji understand why I want to go against the Fujiwara family?”

Ling Feng said: "Master Mitsui Ichiro means that you and the Fujiwara family have different paths and do not want to conspire with each other?"

Mitsui Ichiro said: "It's not just a matter of not colluding with each other. There are too many overlapping interests between me and the Fujiwara family, which have reached the point where we can't resolve them. It's impossible not to collude with each other."

And the most troublesome thing is that we can't find a way to work together. At this point, for our own benefit, it is basically impossible for any of us to change the direction! And if we don't change the direction, failure will be

inevitable.

Therefore, the only way I can think of to solve this problem is for one of me and the Fujiwara family to disappear! And I don’t want to be the one who disappears!”

Lingfeng glanced at Mitsui Ichiro, and the meaning of his words was already obvious, that is, he and the Fujiwara family were already at odds with each other, and he was about to take some kind of action.

Ling Feng smiled and said, "Can I understand this? The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Mr. Mitsui Ichiro, what you said to me is that you hope that we can become friends, right?"

Mitsui Ichiro looked at Ling Feng and said solemnly: "Not a friend, but an ally!"

"ally?"

Mitsui Ichiro said: "Yes, allies! Friends are just relationships of friendship, which are unreliable. But allies are relationships of interests, and only interests are the most reliable! I hope to be able to work with Li Junji

Please establish an alliance and advance and retreat together!"

Are you an ally? Ling Feng pondered for a moment and said, "But there is one thing I don't understand. That is, what does Master Mitsui Ichiro mean by 'desire to advance'?"

Mitsui Ichiro smiled slightly and asked: "Li Junji, who is the leader of the major powers in the world today?"

Ling Feng thought for a while and said: "The United States?"

Mitsui Ichiro said: "Yes, it is the United States! Then I ask Mr. Li Junki again, why is it the United States?"

"this……"

Without waiting for "Lee Junki" to answer, Mitsui Ichiro said loudly: "That's because Japan has been silent for sixty years! That's why the United States has achieved hegemony! The leadership status of the United States is based on Japan's withdrawal from competition!

Nowadays, the world is turbulent. I, Japan, have been recuperating for more than sixty years and have enough strength to stand on top of the world again! The leader of this world will be Japan! And I, Mitsui Ichiro, want to turn all this into

Realistic people, that’s what I call progress!”

Rao knew something about Mitsui Ichiro's ambition, but when he heard his words, Ling Feng was shocked!

The person in front of me obviously can no longer be measured by common sense.

Mitsui Ichiro looked at "Lee Junki" and asked: "I would like to know, in this process, Mr. Lee Junki is willing to work with me to carve up the world?"

"Li Junji" seemed to be shocked and said blankly: "Me? Divide the world? What do you mean?"

Seemingly satisfied with the reaction of "Lee Junki", Mitsui Ichiro smiled and said: "This world is like a huge cake. All countries and organizations are the ones who share the cake. Don't you want Lee Junki to take a piece of it?"

Ling Feng smiled bitterly and said, "Is this... this kind of thing possible?"

"Why is it impossible?" Mitsui Ichiro said: "I want to ask Mr. Li Junji one more thing. Who draws the national boundaries?"

"Borders? Is it history?"

"Wrong!" Mitsui Ichiro said loudly: "It is strength! Strength determines national boundaries! You can take a look at history. All national boundaries are drawn by powerful people!

Not to mention the distance, even the little Shen Tuliang is like this. Why does he want territory? It’s because he also wants to delineate a national border!

Why can he delimit national borders? Because the more than 100,000 troops armed by the Black Dragon Society for more than ten years have completely fallen into his hands, so he has this strength!

Shen Tuliang, a mere dock worker, has such ambitions, but Li Junji, who comes from a wealthy family, doesn't he have such ambitions?"

I have to say that Ichiro Mitsui knows how to confuse people. Although he knew that Ichiro Mitsui was instigating, Ling Feng still felt a surge of emotion after what he said.

In fact, this is exactly what he wants to do and is doing. Let Shen Tuliang occupy some islands in the Philippines and Indonesia. Of course, there is a reason for the external deployment of troops. Another reason is that he wants to use force to occupy part of the territory and divide the national boundaries.

?

It's just that Ichiro Mitsui's ambition seems to be greater and he can go further.
