After experiencing various "surprises" brought by his adoptive father, Roland has become somewhat immune to them. Whenever Li Lin proposes a vague and sporadic plan idea, even if he cannot grasp the whole picture for a while, Roland can guess some clues.
.
But this time, he was also confused.
Not only took over the security work of the disarmament agreement, but also brought in the official forces of Charlemagne and Albion, forming a situation of monitoring each other. In addition, although the Holy See did not intervene in the talks overtly, it would definitely be on guard secretly. The teeth of the dogs are intertwined,
With the responsibilities equally shared, even the Stasi would find it difficult to take action, let alone those low-level terrorists from the royal sect.
Roland was worried about this problem, not that he suddenly changed his gender and started to like war and bloodshed. It was just that he couldn't understand why Li Lin made such a decision that was completely inconsistent with his usual style.
Is there another arrangement somewhere that he doesn't know about, or is there a deeper meaning that he can't see?
Roland's confusion all fell into Li Lin's eyes, and he just shrugged.
Although Roland is more mature than most of his peers, he is still too young and sometimes gets into trouble. One of the reasons is that he was upset by a woman for the first time. However, it is still unjustifiable to misunderstand the focus of the problem.
The interests of Li Lin and the Elf camp lie in the failure of the negotiation. The death of the negotiator can indeed contribute to this result, but who says that the negotiation will fail only if the negotiator is killed? This guy is the angry young assassin who shot Li Zhongtang in 1895—
—Toyotaro Koyama?
The actions of the national will are almost unaffected by personal emotions and behaviors. Li Zhongtang was shot in the face. The Treaty of Shimonoseki was still signed. In 1914, Serbia agreed to almost all the requirements of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and the First World War was still on time.
It broke out. In the face of factors such as the will of major powers, the international situation, and the balance of power between countries, the angry youth are not worth mentioning. They may become a destructive force, but they are by no means a decisive force, and we cannot expect them to achieve great things.
.
Both Albion and Charlemagne are interested in delaying the arms race, but they lack the necessary political foundation. Even if they don't let the Stasi make any small moves, they can disrupt the negotiations simply by using political tricks, not to mention the card of royalist riots.
.
At present, the Pope has offered to let V.E Company be responsible for security work, which is not a good thing. V.E Company is responsible for the personal safety of the negotiators. As for whether the negotiation is successful or not, it has nothing to do with the company. That is the matter of Albion and Charlemagne.
If negotiations fail, no one can blame v.e.
We should really thank His Majesty the Pope for leaving no trace of v.e.com and adding a layer of protection to the undetectable crime. If possible, he should be awarded a medal.
Pulling out his thoughts from a large amount of information, Hongtong and Roland's eyes met. Looking at the young man's thoughtful expression, Li Lin nodded secretly.
It seems that I have figured it out, even though it is a little slow. But it is still pretty good.
"Should I say that the Pope is far inferior to you?"
The extremely sarcastic voice was directed not only at others, but also at Roland himself.
Compared with Li Lin, who was so black and purple, Li Lin, who played dirty tricks, was just like a child, and so was he who was late in seeing through the mystery.
"This statement is too much. His Holiness the Pope's idea itself is not wrong, but there are two things that cannot be compensated for by strategy and faith."
Li Lin raised two fingers and said:
"First, it is really difficult for people to trust others, let alone two countries that have been hostile for a long time. Second, successful diplomacy must be supported by sufficient national strength."
Not to mention the first point, the second point, to put it bluntly, is whether there are enough guns and money bags to support the talk. Today's Holy See neither has the military power to defeat all conflicting countries, nor even the financial resources to be a villain.
Lacking. What can be achieved by just relying on empty words such as "common faith", "peace" and "prayer"?
"Knock down all the conflicting countries... It's really..."
"If you want to be the world's policeman, you must do this."
After a pause, Li Lin wanted to tell Roland the story of a country that claimed to be the "Empire of Hope for Humanity" and the "Lighthouse of Freedom and Democracy" and was founded by exiled mortals, tax-evading businessmen and descendants of the mob. But that lacked practical significance.
, so he gave another example.
"Suppose Gloria and Nona suddenly have to duel, and the surviving party can monopolize you, what should you do?"
puff--
The black tea I just poured into my mouth spurted out, and the hand-woven tapestry and wall were stained by the tea.
"Can...can you give some specific examples?"
The embarrassed young man smacked the corner of his mouth and groaned. He seemed to see a fierce conflict between knights' swords and chariot cannons before his eyes, and the two girls waved their weapons and turned the street into ruins.
"Then let's assume that Spider and Venia start a fierce fight for the right to attack you at night and get into your bed -"
"Stop!!! Please give an example outside the Shura field!! Please!!!!"
Roland almost fell to the ground, covering his forehead and moaning in pain.
"You're really hopeless. You just assumed that the situation in the Shura field is so bad. Your married life is really worrying."
"Married life? What are you talking about?"
"Don't you know? Prime Minister Richelieu and I are promoting the revision of the Marriage Law. The provisions that '16-year-olds can marry concubines' and '10-year-old girls can also marry' will be reviewed and officially become law."
"You spare me..."
This kind of gentleman's law is really uncontrollable...well, the correction is just blinding the eyes and making it impossible to see directly.
Roland is still a commoner at the moment, but he can also understand the values and lifestyle of the princes and nobles. In the ethics of the nobles, taking a concubine is a normal thing. The so-called "concubine" is the second wife.
It is difficult for them to understand that the relationship between wives is regarded as philandering.
Once the wedding ceremony with Minerva is completed, Roland will also become a member of the royal family, and must also accept this kind of values that are very different from civilians and the many wives that come with it. Needless to say, Li Lin obviously intends to directly transfer his current close relationship with Roland
All those girls were sent to the harem.
By the way, in Alfheim, which encourages population growth, polygamy and multiple children are allowed and encouraged.
"In order to have a peaceful family life in the future and avoid being dismembered by hatchets and axes on a dark and stormy night, we must at least conduct simulation training at this stage. Don't you think so?"
"Families that are haunted by hatchets and axes should disband as soon as possible without causing any casualties! Now change the topic to the original direction! Immediately! Immediately!!"
Using all his strength to squeeze out a scream from his throat, Roland collapsed on the seat.
"It's not impossible to stop discussing this topic, but..."
Rubbing his chin, Li Lin showed a carnivorous smile, and a large number of goosebumps suddenly stood up on Roland's back. (To be continued...)
ps: I drank until I vomited... There will be another update tomorrow, sorry...
