Chapter 3454 Adding fuel to the fire
"Huh? Your Majesty, just what?"
"His Majesty?"
"Your Majesty, I dare to ask, what do you have to say?"
Hearing Young Master Liu say these three words, Zhang Kuang, Wanyan Chiezha and others all asked with doubts on their faces.
Liu Mingzhi gently took a puff of dry smoke, turned his eyes and glanced at the few people who looked confused, and silently walked to the table covered with maps and stopped.
Then, he directly picked up the small bamboo pole on the map and directly drew a circle at the three locations of Rome, Frankia, and Prussia.
"It's just that, don't you think that the current situation among these three countries is very similar to that of the Three Kingdoms?
In other words, it is very similar to the situation of the three kingdoms of Dalong, the Jin Kingdom, and the Turks in the past."
Nangong Ye lit a pot of dry smoke, lowered his head and scanned the locations of the Three Kingdoms on the map.
"Your Majesty, judging from the current situation of the three countries on the map, the three countries are indeed now in a tripartite situation.
It’s just that there doesn’t seem to be anything wrong with this situation.”
Yeruha glanced at the map casually, smiled and nodded.
"Yes, Brother Nangong is right. It's just a situation of three pillars. There's nothing special about it, right?"
"Your Majesty, if you think of something, you might as well tell me directly."
Liu Mingzhi took away the bamboo pole that was lit on the map, and leaned sideways on the chair beside him while holding the dry pipe.
"There is really nothing strange about the three pillars.
However, in the case of the three countries standing at the same level, when two of them are involved in a war, how can the other country stay silent and stay out of the war?
In other words, how could the kings of the Frankish and Prussian countries be so confident that the Roman country would stay out of the matter?
Think about it from your own perspective, if you were the king of two of them, what would you be most worried about when a war broke out between your two countries?"
A group of old foxes heard Mr. Liu's seemingly pointed hint, and after thinking about it for a moment, their eyes suddenly widened.
Judging from their reactions, they seemed to have thought of something.
Liu Mingzhi saw the changes in the expressions of several people, chuckled and fanned the smoke rising in front of him.
"Hehehe, tell me what you think."
"Your Majesty, if I am one of them, my biggest concern is not what methods the enemy will use to deal with me.
Rather, they are worried that the Roman state, which has always stayed out of the matter, may suddenly launch a sneak attack on its back at the most critical moment of the war between the two sides."
"Your Majesty, I think so too.
Under such circumstances, the biggest threat is not necessarily the enemy fighting head-on, but rather the silent Roman state next to them."
"Your Majesty, I would like to replace you with an old minister. I am worried that the Roman Congress will sit back and watch the fight between tigers and tigers.
As the saying goes, when two tigers fight, one of them will be injured.
If the Roman Empire had waited until the war was in progress to reach a critical moment and suddenly launched a sneak attack, it would have been a devastating disaster for any country."
"Your Majesty, what I think this old minister is thinking is that when the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman will benefit.
The Franks and Prussia are like snipes and clams, and Rome is the fisherman who is most likely to profit."
Liu Mingzhi listened to the words of several people who had different opinions, and took a puff of dry cigarette with a smile.
"Hehehe, what you said makes sense.
I think back then, the world among the three kingdoms of Dalong, Jin, and Turks was not yet unified.
Whenever there is a war between the three countries, whether it is the Turks or the Jin Kingdom, they all know that they are no match for Dalong on their own.
Therefore, every time there is a war, the two sides will inevitably become allies.
Between the Jin Kingdom and the Turks, even if one party wants to stay out of the conflict, the other party will find every way to force it into the war."
As Young Master Liu spoke, he chuckled and turned to look at Wanyan Chiezha and Hu Yanyu.
"Uncle, Brother Huyan, you should know what I'm talking about best."
Wanyan Chiezha and Hu Yanyu looked at each other and nodded with a wry smile.
"Clear, clear."
"I understand clearly."
Liu Mingzhi nodded slightly, looked at the group of people and raised his eyebrows with a chuckle.
"The current situation of the three Frankish countries is just like the situation of our Dalong side back then.
So, do you think that the Frankish King and the Prussian King would not have thought of these situations?
Here in the west, there may not be a saying that the fishermen benefit when the snipe and the clam compete.
However, this does not mean that the two of them do not understand this principle.
The truth in the world is that different paths lead to the same destination.
There may be different ways of saying it, but the ultimate meaning is the same.
Few people who can become kings are fools, and they would not think of such a thing.
Of course, if there are any special circumstances, just pretend that I didn’t say anything about it.”
As soon as Liu Mingzhi finished speaking, he straightened up and walked to the table a few steps away, picked up some tea and moistened his throat.
Then, with a faint smile, he turned his attention to a group of generals.
"Then, under what circumstances can the two kings of Frankia and Prussia let Rome stay out of the matter like this?"
"Hiss, this."
"This, this."
"Your Majesty, Zhang Shuai just said that perhaps the Frankish King Naroman and the Roman King Alexander Peter had reached some secret agreement in private to carve up the territory of Prussia.
Only under such circumstances can the Roman state stay out of it."
Liu Mingzhi swallowed the tea leaves in his mouth, chuckled and turned his attention to Yunchong.
"Uncle, as you have come to the second conclusion.
Such a situation could only occur if Roman and Alexander Peter reached some kind of secret agreement in private.
However, have you ever wanted to know what kind of agreement this would be?
Only in this way could Naroman agree to divide the general territory of Prussia with Alexander Peter under the condition that the Roman state did not use a single soldier.
If you can get half of the territory without spending a single soldier, the king of Rome will definitely agree to such an agreement without hesitation.
But what about Roman, the king of the Franks? Will he agree to such an agreement?
If you were the king of the Franks, would you agree to such an agreement?"
Upon hearing the question raised by Young Master Liu, all the generals frowned.
"Hiss, this, this."
"Only a fool would agree to such conditions."
"No one with a sound mind would agree to such an agreement."
"According to normal people's thinking, even if they exert half of their efforts, they still want to do something to take advantage of it.
Without exerting any effort, I just want to share half of the fruits of victory.
No one would agree to this situation."
Liu Mingzhi nodded and took a sip of tea, then looked at the generals and nodded with smiles.
"Hahaha, you are right, only a fool would agree to such an agreement."
"Your Majesty, after what you said, the current situation between the three countries is really full of doubts."
"Your Majesty, according to the latest situation reported by the elite scouts and soldiers, the Golden Eagle.
Until five days ago, the borders of Rome were still very peaceful and peaceful.
