Tang Lai, Prime Minister of Wu State, knew the power behind Eastern Broadcasting Station.
He wanted to be the king of Wu and sign a series of agreements with various forces in the empire.
It was immediately clear that the forces behind Eastern Broadcasting Station had completed an exchange of interests with the royal family of the vassal country.
The benefits that the Wu royal family can gain far exceed the losses caused by Oriental Radio.
It is impossible for Wu State to sanction Dongfang Radio Station because of the public opinion stirred up by Dongfang Radio Station.
Prime Minister Tang Lai has decided not to impeach matters involving Oriental Radio.
If the Oriental Radio station only reports the tragic defeat of the frontline troops.
This is something the Metropolitan Government should be wary of.
Oriental Radio's program basically took off the pants of the Governor-General of the State of Wu.
It successfully made most people in the Wu Kingdom think that the officials in the Governor's Office were a bunch of trash.
This situation is extremely favorable for the cabinet to compete for the power held by the Metropolitan Government.
Civil servants and military generals check and balance each other, and civil and military officials usually do not interfere with each other.
However, the Cabinet and the Metropolitan Government also have areas of overlap, and the most obvious area is logistics.
The cabinet and the Metropolitan Government can all get involved in logistics.
For this kind of joint management field, whichever party is stronger usually has the right to speak.
The Metropolitan Governor's Office is currently in a precarious situation. As the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, Tang Lai does not add insult to injury for the sake of jointly overcoming the difficulties.
The reason why Prime Minister Tang Lai is like this is that as a civil servant, he can sense the negative consequences that the continued development of Oriental Broadcasting Station will bring to the civil service group.
Oriental Radio has now appeared on programs exposing the corruption of officials from various countries.
This kind of program is a sharp sword hanging over the heads of all civil servants.
As a civil servant, Prime Minister Tang Lai does not want to see this situation continue to deteriorate.
However, the background of Oriental Radio is too deep, so we can only warn those under our control to pay attention to the impact of their actions.
Oriental Radio is not only a threat, this station is indeed capable of recruiting people with extraordinary status.
Their analysis of the incident can give Prime Minister Tang Lai some inspiration.
Qi Gangyi saw that Prime Minister Tang Lai was hesitant to speak.
He waved his hand and said: "We monarchs and ministers don't need to worry about those vulgar principles. If you have any questions, it doesn't matter."
Prime Minister Tang Lai then said with some tangle: "Now that the front line is at a disadvantage, I am also very anxious about this matter and have been thinking of ways to break the situation.
I learned that after the Oriental Radio program was broadcast, public opinion was very bad for the imperial court.
Some of them complained that the army was not strong enough, and some of the people complained that because we had formed an alliance with the Jin State, we were luring the wolf into the house.
We introduce countries from outside the region into Europe.
Not only some people in our country think so, but also some people in other European countries think so.
This public opinion is very detrimental to the situation in our country.
Regarding this issue, I raised two questions.
I have some understanding of the situation in Qi State. Qi State failed to properly handle the distribution of interests between immigrants from various places and local indigenous people.
As a result, Qi State became divided into independent states.
As Qi is our neighbor, our country can definitely send troops to help Qi judge.
Qi's military strength is not strong, but its industry is barely adequate.
Qi State plays a similar role to Qing State in the Four Kingdoms Alliance and serves as our logistics base, so there is no problem at all.
I also observed that the empire said verbally that they would treat the vassal states equally.
But the empire had many preferential treatment for the vassal states established by the princes.
Our country formed an alliance to go to war with the Four Nations Alliance. In the later stages of the war, the competition was based on the background of each party.
The Tang Kingdom exists in the Four Kingdoms Alliance, and it is likely to be an important weight at a critical moment.
In order to prevent us from losing the war for this reason, I propose to introduce a country founded by a prince into the alliance."
Qi Gangyi listened to what Prime Minister Tang Lai said. He had not expected this situation before.
It is inevitable that the empire will give preferential treatment to the vassal state established by the prince.
These princes may become emperors of the empire in the future.
This is only a very low possibility, and the officials of the empire would not dare to offend.
What's more, the prince probably has an extraordinary foundation in the empire.
They did not dare to offend the prince for fear of bringing risks to themselves.
Qi Gangyi carefully thought about the advantages and disadvantages that assisting Qi could bring to Wu.
He finally discovered that there wouldn't be much downside to this matter.
Even if the final result is not good, Wu State can get out in time and will not fall into the internal disputes of Qi State.
Qi Gangyi said with a smile: "Okay, this method is very good.
We, the State of Wu, have requested an alliance from the State of Qi many times before, but were all rejected by King Su Ming of Qi.
Qi King Su Ming's idea was to put the country in order and then talk about other things.
Now we help him reorganize the country and prevent Qi from joining the battlefield in the early stage.
There is a high probability that King Su Ming of Qi will accept such a good treatment."
After Qi Gangyi said this, he seemed to have made up his mind.
"Try it and you won't have any big problems.
It would be a great thing if we can really win Qi State into our camp.
Not to mention other situations, just in terms of boosting morale, it can bring great benefits to our country."
Qi Gangyi has made up his mind. He will soon summon Zhu Dahu, the cabinet minister in charge of foreign affairs, and let him be responsible for this matter.
The State of Wu must communicate well with the State of Qi before they can take specific actions.
Qi Gangyi looked at Prime Minister Tang Lai, gave a thumbs up and said: "This is a good suggestion. Tang Aiqing just mentioned two issues. Let us also discuss the other issue."
Prime Minister Tang Lai said with some worry: "I feel extremely troubled by a situation predicted in the Oriental Radio program.
Europe is not at peace now, and the empire has made its attitude clear, choosing neutrality and not favoring any vassal country.
But in vassal states outside of Europe, their thoughts were very complicated.
Some countries, in particular, regard Europe as a piece of fat and want to swallow it directly.
For example, the Liao Kingdom helped the Shu Kingdom regardless of the cost.
This must be an extraordinary situation.
The relationship between Cao and Rui is obvious to all.
Rui is in danger of subjugation. Even across the ocean, Cao will never ignore it.
This is just a country that has ambitions for Europe on the surface.
There are other countries in the dark that we simply cannot discover.
I am worried that we European countries have tried our best and are about to harvest the fruits of victory, but countries outside the region will jump in and directly snatch the fruits of victory.
We European countries have worked hard and paid such a high price, but we have made wedding dresses for others."
Qi Gangyi frowned when he heard Prime Minister Tang Lai say this.
In this battle to compete for fame and interests, the countries that dare to participate have strong confidence in themselves.
But even if any force wins, it will be a tragic victory.
This force faces the extraterritorial countries that are gathering strength and strength, and it is extremely difficult to defeat them.
Scholars have already made predictions about this situation in Oriental Radio programs.
According to this scholar's deduction, it is extremely common for foreign countries to intervene in the European battlefield at the end of the war.
Qi Gangyi frowned and never relaxed.
He was thinking of ways to break the situation. He thought of many ways, but he couldn't think of an effective way to break the situation.
He was very unwilling to accept that the Wu Kingdom had worked so hard, and if it really won the final victory, it would be stolen by a country outside the territory.
Every time Qi Gangyi thought of this, his fists clenched subconsciously.
Prime Minister Tang Lai saw Qi Gangyi's expression changing constantly.
He was born and reminded: "Your Majesty, this matter is a matter for all countries in Europe.
Except for Shu and Rui, which received external support, other countries were also afraid of this situation.
This is a problem that most countries will face in the future, and most countries will have to bear it together.
We, the Wu State, only need to contribute our share of the effort.
There is no need to do everything for you, just take care of all the problems yourself.”
Prime Minister Tang Lai's words directly reminded Qi Gangyi.
They, the Wu State, were unable to solve this problem.
Relying solely on the strength of Wu State is extremely limited.
But there is still no problem in bringing most European countries together and coming up with a charter.
Qi Gangyi thought of this and asked Prime Minister Tang Lai to deal with other matters in Wu State.
He picked up the phone on his desk. Based on this issue, he first communicated with his allies and reached a consensus.
Qi Gangyi began to contact monarchs of other countries by phone according to their proximity.
Even the Gui State, which was hostile to the Wu State.
When Gui Wang Qutian saw the call from Wu Guo, he still picked up the call.
Of course, the two of them couldn't help but taunt each other.
But when they responded to Europe's common crisis, they did not act with enthusiasm.
The two finally reached a consensus.
Qi Gangyi had been busy for most of the day and walked out of the study.
I saw Prime Minister Tang Lai and Cabinet Minister Zhu Dahu walking outside.
He first summoned cabinet minister Zhu Dahu and asked him to take charge of matters related to the alliance with Qi.
Zhu Dahu wants to go to see Qi King Su Ming in person and explain the pros and cons to Qi King Su Ming.
The state of Wu is willing to pay a certain price to win over the state of Qi to join the alliance.
Zhu Dahu took the order and began to prepare for this matter.
He is very optimistic about the difficulty of this matter.
As long as Wu State is willing to offer enough benefits, it will not be difficult to impress Qi State.
Prime Minister Tang Lai was in a nervous mood and accepted the summons from his predecessor Wu Wang Qi Gangyi.
He saw the corners of Qi Gangyi's mouth slightly raised and his face radiant.
He knew that the problem he raised already had a solution.
Prime Minister Tang Lai congratulated: "The king has found a way to solve the interference of foreign countries in Europe. This is really the luck of Wu.
When we lose the war, our skills are inferior to our own.
But losing the war due to the intervention of countries outside the region is unacceptable."
Qi Gangyi said confidently: "My king has contacted the monarchs of various European countries and after discussions, we have reached a solution to the interference of foreign countries."
When Prime Minister Tang Lai heard what Qi Gangyi said, he pricked up his ears and listened carefully.
Qi Gangyi said mockingly: "The method is very simple, this is the method thought up by Bai Yuangui, the king of Yue.
In addition to vassal states other than the empire, they are countries that can intervene in our European region.
There are only a few countries on the American continent, and the Liao Kingdom, a wealthy country with gold mines.
Zheng State is located in the middle of Africa, so it is basically impossible for it to intervene in Europe via land.
Zheng's naval strength was very weak and it was unable to intervene in European affairs by sea and land.
The Cai State in the Arab region is just a resource country that sells oil.
The country cannot even be self-sufficient in food, and has no ability to expand externally.
The only countries that can really intervene in European affairs are the American countries and the Liao Kingdom.
The Liao Kingdom has always implemented a national isolation plan, and the local indigenous people have been unable to integrate into the country.
The Liao Kingdom's navy was powerful, but its army was weak.
The Liao Kingdom was inherently inferior and could only intervene in European affairs through limited means.
The countries that can really threaten Europe are the countries on the American continent.
These countries were the first to go overseas to establish their country, and enjoyed many of the benefits granted by the empire back then.
Most of the immigrants they recruited were from the mainland of the empire, and the quality of their citizens was extremely high.
There is not much difference in appearance between the local indigenous people and the Han people, and most of the indigenous people do not have their own civilization.
These indigenous peoples were converted into Chinese very quickly, providing sufficient human resources for American countries.
After these years of development, American countries have become very powerful.
If you pick a single country, even the weakest Qi State, its strength is equivalent to that of Chu State.
American countries are powerful, but their internal conflicts are also very fierce.
Even children can now tell a story about the conflict between Cao and Wei.
American countries are too idle, and they will definitely want to expand outwards.
We cannot let American countries idle.
We must find ways to stir up conflicts among American countries.
It would be better to let the war break out in America so they don't have to worry about what's going on here in Europe."
When Prime Minister Tang Lai heard this, he was very excited.
This is indeed a thorough solution to the interference of foreign countries.
American countries are powerful, but they have even more powerful opponents.
He said excitedly: "This method is wonderful.
War broke out in their home base, and they had no energy left to expand outward.
When our Wu Kingdom came to Europe and the vassal states in America, they planned to provoke a war that would sweep across Europe.
At that time, the state of Wu was weak and had no way to directly retaliate.
Now we are using various methods to cause civil strife in America in our own way.
American countries are already full of contradictions, and I think this method is feasible."
Qi Gangyi said with a smile: "As long as you have confidence, let Tang Aiqing be responsible for this matter.
Our countries have only confirmed the general direction, and the specific details of actions do not need to be disclosed. Everything depends on the capabilities of each country.
It’s just that the purpose is the same for all countries.”
Prime Minister Tang Lai knew that this task was very difficult.
But this matter must be highly confidential.
"Your Majesty, I will definitely cooperate with the relevant personnel.
Find ways to disrupt the stability of the American continent."
Prime Minister Tang Lai immediately took over this task.
Qi Gangyi smiled and said: "I admire Tang Aiqing's ability very much.
If Tang Aiqing is responsible for this matter, the success rate will be higher.
I'm waiting for the day when Tang Aiqing reports victory."
Prime Minister Tang Lai felt Qi Gangyi's trust. He was very excited and vowed to do this well.
