Xilong Plain, Haodu.

The place where Taiyun rose. One thousand six hundred years ago, Taiyun was just a vassal state on the border of the Eastern Continent. With the invasion of the Oka Empire in the east, the traditional power of the Eastern Continent was weakened, and Taiyun's national strength began to rise.

One thousand four hundred years ago, when the Eastern Continental Alliance expelled Oka, Taiyun pacified the northwest and fought four wars with the Hela people at that time. Then, eight hundred years ago, it controlled the Yueyue Mountains and opened up commercial channels in the West. The national strength expanded and became one of the best powers, with the ability to frequently launch wars against the eastern countries.

In the capital of Taiyun Empire, dozens of railway tracks pass by, and various steam trains shuttle through the flying eaves building complex. Compared with the capital in the east, Taiyun's capital road system is very orderly, and the empire's powerful and powerful cannot surpass it.

Under the leadership of the Imperial Commander, teams of young people walked off the train, lined up and entered the training center handled by the Imperial Empire.

Some of them will be trained in basic training and then filled in factories. Some will be sent to military camps for military training. Compared with the Zong Alliance, after the Battle of Weishui, the Taiyun Empire was recovering the loss of the war at an astonishing speed.

Beiling Palace.

Sixty meters long and fifty meters wide, the imperial emperor lives in the north and south. The nine-foot-high platform is the throne, and the left and right are the platforms where the ministers are located. Compared with the ancient Saint Sok, the Taiyun Empire is considered a successful transformation empire.

The previous emperors were adopted to legislate the law, and later emperors respected the law and ruled the country. Generations of emperors followed the previous national system and ruled the country.

Although the ministers and ministers are still upper-class families, the emperor can seize their power according to law. In the history of the Taiyun Empire, there were cases where the powerful families were not allowed to be seated in the Beiling Hall for several generations. There was also a precedent for mechanical controllers to take over forty-five years.

In the Empire Hall, the Taiyun monarch, wearing a black suit and a long sword tied with a waist, was walking around in front of the developer.

The developer is the scene of Lu Qixuan's last political speech at the Hanshan Parliament half a year ago.

At the meeting, Lu Qixuan, who had red eyes, asked the Zongmeng to give up commercial interests to the southern Jingchuan, pull Jingchuan into the Zongmeng, and regard the Jingchuan Empire as the new leader of the Zongmeng alliance.

The emperor smiled on his face, picked up Yu Ruyi from the seat and pointed at the developer and said, "Hedong is talented, but Weidong countries have no eyes. God really helps me to be too cloud."

"My lord is wise." The ministers on the seats below the sides of the emperor congratulated the emperor.

The developer in front of Shengzhao was replaced with a map of the East Continent. The emperor pointed to the Yuqun Kingdom on the map and said, "Now the news is coming, Yuqun is willing to work with our country to deal with Jingchuan."

The young man (Qing Juncong) who looked like a woman on the side smiled and said to the emperor: "Inside the Yuqun, I hope our country is driven by them."

Shengzhao smiled contemptuously and said, "If you are a slutty person, then we will follow the flow and fulfill their wishes first."

When Taiyun heard the king's speech, they burst into laughter at the Yuqun people's little abacus - Yuqun people were nothing more than trying to provoke the conflict between Taiyun and Jingchuan and then make profits from it. The civil and military officials of Taiyun all over the court were happy with the thinking of such a small country and foolish people.

The idea of ​​the Yuqun people provoked the two strong forces toward a full-scale war, and the third party got rid of suppression and rose.

Until the 21st century, there were still some second-rate countries on the earth who had this kind of dream, waiting for the so-called "two strong confrontations". They waited, waited, waited until they were old and ugly.

[Why do you have such a dream? It is because people always fall into a misunderstanding of thinking: "The alliance between a big country and a small country is stronger than a big country." This misunderstanding of thinking has made politicians from all countries seek long-term stability of military alliances.

In fact, international strategic goals should be achieved by a large country in a century, rather than a large country leading a small country to spend decades of peace, and finally, when the general conflict breaks out, it is dragged down by the stupidity of the small country and dies with its opponents.]

Once several national forces form a military alliance, in the sense of security of the alliance, they will inevitably use each other and make small calculations.

The contradictions caused by this operation will be suppressed by the dividends of the military alliance at the beginning. Suppressing them does not mean resolution. The contradictions will accumulate and eventually induce the Thucydides trap, which makes great powers extremely passively dragged into a super war when they should not be warned. In Oriental dialect, these powerful countries are passively involved in confrontation and are not sure about the time of war.

Time of heaven: When a country has a high will, united, and has a strong momentum, it is the time to occupy the time of heaven. Otherwise, it is the time to lose the time of heaven.

The idea of ​​"Military Alliance" was also found in the pre-Qin period of the Earth, wasn't it just a mercy? @Su Qin. But it is obvious that this strategic idea was completely defeated in the history of the East, and directly extinct the idea of ​​later nobles to consolidate military alliances.

History has proved that as long as a great power does not work on its own, never establish an alliance and set up a target to unite the other party. Then in a long time, a great power actually has enough opportunities to provoke internal conflicts of an opponent's alliance. Here @ Zhang Yi.

At the end of the pre-Qin and Warring States Period, the military alliances of the six Shandong countries not only consumed the economic strength and political consensus of various countries during peacetime, but also provided a sense of security in normal times, but were always lost at critical moments.

A great power that does not rely on long-term military alliances can always integrate its national strength first, and when resting, he will recuperate, and when the enemy alliance is in conflict, he will quickly enter the state of time.

The approaching step by step over a hundred years is forcing the alliance to retreat step by step. - Therefore, the strategic thinking of the East of the Earth is to continuously accumulate advantages and finally "strive for the rest of the six generations".

Similar geographical environments have led to very similar historical situations now.

The Yuqun, who has been in the alliance for a long time, has not kept up with the Taiyun people's thinking at all. At this time, Taiyun is indeed going to be hostile to Jingchuan, but the goal of this hostility is only to weaken Jingchuan. Instead of the Taiyun and Jingchuan that the Yuqun people think of.

This kind of restrained confrontation will not hurt Taiyun's national foundation. Therefore, the perfect ending that the two powerful countries that Yuqun people think of is a loss will never happen.

After Jingchuan suffers losses, it will inevitably lead to easy first and then difficult. - That's right, after Jingchuan suffers losses, he will not be able to take revenge on a strong country, and he will not be able to make a small one.

At this time, Taiyun is now in need of grudges between the Eastern countries so that he will not be the target of public criticism. Yuqun's behavior of Erwuzi, who is interested in small profits, is exactly what Taiyun wants.

In Lianheng’s strategy, the weak country is left to the opponents to vent their hatred.

[653 was a diplomatic year. The envoy of the Taiyun Empire went to many countries in the East, and finally arrived at Jizi, the capital of the Penghai Republic]

The envoy of the Taiyun Empire presented Jade Lianhuan to the female general of Penghai Kingdom, Hu Lumin, to show that the friendship between the two countries is as difficult as the connected jade ring. The Penghai Republic also received the envoys of the Taiyun Empire at the highest standard. In newspapers and media, they also began to report on the good relationship between the two countries.

Su Deng looked at the scene of the noble female general in the newspaper smiling and shook hands with the Taiyun Empire envoy.

The fingers that were buckled by the nose bounced and then wiped them clean on the newspaper. To be precise, the fingers covered with snot were wiped clean on the face of the female general in the newspaper photo.

Su Deng laughed lightly: "Let the woman who has not fought for forty years be regarded as a sage."

After crumpling the newspaper into a ball and throwing it into the trash can.

Su Deng stood up from the chair.

"In the age of great struggle, it is really interesting for women who are born without aggressiveness and lack of vigilance to take power for so long!"

[The female chief of the Penghai Republic has a good reputation on the Eastern Continent, and is honest in interacting with various countries. It puts the Penghai Republic in a long-term environment without foreign wars]

Compared with the head of the Penghai Republic, Gui Lumin's long-term error-free display has become the biggest highlight.

The premier general used troops everywhere, but as a result, they made too many enemies, which allowed the coalition forces of the Zong Alliance to attack the capital. The war 120 years ago still affected Penghai's diplomacy and thus the entire political structure. It can be said that the battle of Weishui in the Taiyun Empire was to confirm that the Penghai Republic would never help the Zong Alliance, so they dared to do their best.

The peaceful policy pursued by Gui Lumin's husband, the chief executive, did give Penghai time to restore national strength. However, it also allowed the Penghai Republic to develop a huge isolationist interest group.

After the death of the chief general, the situation of great powers fighting for hegemony changed several times, while Hu Lumin still kept the foreign policy of the Penghai Republic still closed. Yes, she, a woman, was unable to change the isolationism in the country, but she could not fuel the fire.

Su Deng commented evilly: "Now the Taiyun Empire is friendly and has a strong purpose. She doesn't avoid it at all. She is thinking about raising her husband."

[If you are not in your position and do not plan your politics, Su Ding is preparing for a big test at this time]

The Penghai Republic will conduct a Jixia study exam every year for students across the country.

If the students of public schools show great potential in the major exams, they can be selected for admission. Every year, several students from public schools are selected by the noble colleges to be admitted.

The colleges of junior aristocrats will also have excellent students, jumping to higher aristocrats. As for the best schools in the Penghai Republic, the students of the Shengjuan Academy will not be under any pressure.

The names of aristocratic disciples who participated in the exam every year and did not perform well in the major exams were generally not announced, and the aristocratic disciples were not under pressure to be expelled from the academy. However, if they could win a good ranking, they could become famous all over the world.

Su Ding did not intend to take the Jixia School Examination.

But Meng Hong, who was in Jizi, called and said in a bargaining tone: "You go and take a test, get a ranking, and let the people who discuss you shut up." So Su Ding had to prepare.

The quota that Meng Hong used on Su Deng made the Meng family complain. Although people in the clan could not deflect Meng Hong's willfulness, they were always looking for opportunities to let Su Deng, who was humble from the background, appear.

However, in the past two years, Su Deng has not participated in any public competitions, nor has he been in any public place where students communicate with each other to give people a chance to cause trouble. - Those people can't come up and smash the door.

As for this academic exam, the Meng family felt that they could not let Su Ding go. They wanted to take Su Ding out of Meng Hong's protection for a walk.

[In the evening, the bright pole star once again glorious in the sky of the northern hemisphere]

In the wealthy area of ​​Cuiyu Port, Su Deng pointed to the brightly lit city. Tonight, Cuiyu Port was as usual. No, it was more lively. I don’t know who caused the order of the port.

The entire city police department was dispatched in the port. At the high altitude of the city, the unmanned airship projected a beam of light to the ground, and a huge spot was projected onto a building in the city. A few minutes later, there seemed to be a flash of shooting on the building, and then the inspector's police car flashed red light, chasing people there on the road.

The sharp alarm ringtone is very harsh at night.

Su Dengyuan looked at the suspected shooting in the factory area and shook his head. Such things happen one or two times a year. Sometimes it was a riot of port workers, and sometimes it was a soldier who had a gun to destroy it.

During the chaos, the police would pull up the blockade line, and the cleaning car would clean the blood on the ground. The next day, Cuiyu Port would resume operation.

The chaos in the rich area and more than ten kilometers away were insulated. Su Deng shook his head and walked back to the room from the windowsill. After washing up, he looked at the still noisy sound outside the window, frowned and said, "Why isn't it over yet?"

Su Deng pulled up the curtains, put on eye masks and earplugs, turned on equal communication, and prepared to check whether that boy Bai Haoyu was staying up late before going to bed.
