After listening to Xiang Xiaoqiang's narration, Shi Shigege also looked at him with strange eyes.
"Afang," Xiang Xiaoqiang held her hand and lamented, "I'm unfortunate enough, so don't laugh at me."
Fourteen giggled, let him hold hands, and comforted softly:
"Okay... look, I didn't laugh at you."
Xiang Xiaoqiang said reluctantly:
"No, you are obviously laughing. Tell me, what are you laughing at?"
Fourteen giggled and said:
"Okay, okay, I won't laugh anymore."
So, she tried hard to hold back her laughter and asked with a straight face:
"Xiaoqiang, I don't blame others for not believing in you. If I didn't know that you and Zheng Gongyin were engaged in mining, and you were so sure of it, it would be hard for me to believe you. Seriously, where did you get all this information?"
Xiang Xiaoqiang lamented again and said:
"Don't worry about where my information came from. What I'm worried about now is what to do."
Fourteen Princess knew that he didn't tell anyone this secret, and she didn't want to say it now. But Fourteen Princess had long been itchy and decided to take this opportunity to pry his mouth open. She continued with a straight face:
"What to do depends on what the crux of the problem is. The key now is that no one believes you. Why don't they believe you? Because you can't tell the source of the information. Who would say such a big thing just from your mouth?
Do you believe it? You say it from your heart. Would you believe it if it were you?
?...You ask me what to do now, and I don’t know. Because even I am in the dark, how can I help you with ideas?...I know that those sources of information are your treasures, and you are counting on them to make money.
As for the big money, you can’t trust anyone, not even me.”
When Xiang Xiaoqiang saw that Shi Shigege had changed his face, he was a little panicked. In fact, honestly speaking, he didn't mean to hide it, but he really couldn't tell it. If he did, he would have to be sent to the doctor for examination.
He hesitated:
"Afang, it's not that I can't believe it, but...it's just that I really can't say it. If I say it, people will laugh to death. Don't say you don't know, Qiu Qiu and Xiu Xiu don't know either."
Fourteen Gege said coldly:
"Okay, then you can ask them for advice."
Xiang Xiaoqiang suppressed his blush and told the story of "travelling" with his eyes closed.
Shi Shigege listened with a playful expression at first, but as she listened, Xiang Xiaoqiang became more and more eloquent and detailed, and her face became more and more worried.
"Xiao Qiang," Shi Shi Ge Ge gently held his hand and said softly with as natural an expression as possible, "Have you... you... have you gone for a checkup before?"
Xiang Xiaoqiang was angry, thinking that it was true, and if he told the truth, he would send himself to a mental hospital.
He held his breath and said:
"I told them when I first came to Ming Dynasty, but they called a psychiatrist to examine me. They said I was suffering from intermittent paranoia... But I tell you, A Fang, what I said is true. You
Think about it, human society is constantly developing. How many technologies that we didn’t dare to think about in the past have been realized today. There are also many technologies that we don’t dare to think about now, and they will definitely be realized in the future. For example, humans will land on the moon.
I tell you today, do you believe it?
? Let me tell you, we did it in our time. There are also planes with 2.5 times the speed of sound. Can you imagine it today? There is also a bomb that can destroy an entire city, and there are planes that take off and land vertically without using a runway...
There are computers, the Internet... forget it, I can’t explain these two things at the moment... a mobile phone, do you know what a mobile phone is? It is a wireless phone, only the size of playing cards, without wires, and can communicate with each other for thousands of kilometers..."
Fourteen Gege was already a little panicked, her voice was trembling, and she touched Xiang Xiaoqiang's face:
"Xiaoqiang... stop talking, you... you are too tired, just take a rest..."
Xiang Xiaoqiang ignored her and continued:
"Since these can be realized in a few decades, do you dare to say that the technology of 'time travel' will not exist in the future? Well, even if this is more difficult, how about relaxing the time, five hundred years from now? A thousand years?
back……"
"Xiaoqiang!!!"
Fourteen Gege suddenly screamed hysterically, and then slapped Xiang Xiaoqiang on the cheek.
Xiang Xiaoqiang was stunned by the beating, covering his cheeks and staring blankly at Fourteen Gege.
There was another sound of "dong dong" running on the floor outside the door, and then the door opened with a "clatter". Xiao Wu stood at the door in a daze again. Seeing the situation in the room, he said weakly:
"Oh...Oh Hemisama..."
Shi Shi Ge Ge took a deep breath, raised her head and spoke softly in Japanese. Xiao Wu quickly ran away and closed the door outside.
Then, Shi Shigege looked at Xiang Xiaoqiang with tears in her eyes. She forced a smile, took Xiang Xiaoqiang's hand, pulled him into her arms, and the two embraced each other gently.
Fourteen Gege choked and said warmly:
"It's okay, it's okay... I will accompany you to Japan to relax... You haven't been to Japan yet, right? Haha, it's so beautiful there... Let's watch the cherry blossoms together, eat seafood together, soak in hot springs together, and climb Mount Fuji together..."
Xiang Xiaoqiang sighed helplessly:
"Are you planning to take me to Japan for medical treatment?"
Shi Shi Ge Ge hugged him tightly, kissed the place where he had just been beaten on his cheek, and said softly:
"Don't hide your illness and avoid medical treatment... It's nothing. There's no shame in having a little mental problem... Japanese medicine is more advanced than Ming Dynasty. Just because doctors in Ming Dynasty can't treat well doesn't mean that Japanese doctors can't do it either..."
"Don't talk about Japanese doctors," Xiang Xiaoqiang sneered, "even German doctors can't do it. This is not a disease, it's real."
"Xiaoqiang!"
Xiang Xiaoqiang shook his head and said:
"Okay, okay, I won't argue with you anymore... I won't mention this matter, and you won't mention asking me to see a doctor. Let's just pretend it doesn't happen. Even if you think I'm 'intermittent paranoid'
'Well, why don't we just mention it? It won't affect anything. You can live your life as you want...Qiu Qiu was just like you at the beginning. He was so nervous. Isn't it okay now?"
A thought suddenly flashed through Fourteen Gege, and she pushed him out of her arms and stared at him.
She narrowed her eyes and said slowly and sinisterly:
"Xiang Xiaoqiang, don't you want to tell me the source of the information? Are you deliberately doing this to me, pretending to be crazy and acting stupid to scare me?"
Xiang Xiaoqiang was stunned, he didn't expect her to think of going there. He wailed:
"My good sister, you said that we are in this relationship, what does it matter to me? Hey, let me tell you, it is not just today that I was diagnosed like this! Jin Yiwei came to see me when I first came to Daming.
The doctor came to look at it for me. I still remember
If you don’t believe it, go check it out. At that time, I didn’t tell anyone about the mineral information, but no one asked me about the source. You can also call Qiu Qiu now. When the doctor diagnosed me,
She's standing outside in the corridor."
Regardless of whether she believed it or not, Fourteen Gege's eyes softened again. She hugged Xiang Xiaoqiang again, kissed the palm mark again, and said:
"I'm sorry...Xiaoqiang, I shouldn't doubt you..."
After a while, she took the initiative and said:
"The current strategy is to restore the opinion of the top brass of the General Staff about you. You have to make up your mistakes. Stop making up excuses. Just sincerely admit your mistakes to them and admit that you made up such a 'big oil field' because you were young and impetuous."
Story. Only in this way can Zhang Zhao return to his feelings for you and feel that you are still a good young man who knows his mistakes and can correct them. At least you are not lying for yourself, but for the country."
Xiang Xiaoqiang was stunned and said anxiously:
"This... you are not asking me to..."
Fourteen Gege counted on his fingers and said to him:
"Yes, I just want you to take the blame. You see, you can't prove that there is an oil field there in a short period of time. If the oil field is within the territory of Ming Dynasty, it would be easy, just send people to explore. But the problem is that you said
The place is in the hinterland of Beiqing. Who should explore it? Moreover, the most serious problem for you now is not whether there are oil fields there. The problem is that the top commander of the Ming army already has an opinion on you. They have already doubted your character.
Sorry, I almost don’t trust you anymore.
"Once they no longer trust you, you understand what it means, right?... Zhang and Tang, two veterans, one is the Chief of General Staff of the General Headquarters, and the other is the Chief of General Staff of the Army. They hold the highest position in the Ming Army.
, they are indeed nice people, treat you so well, and always trust you. This is such an enviable condition! How can you watch it break and not try your best to save it?
"Don't say that it doesn't matter because you have a good relationship with Zhu Yourong. Although Zhu Yourong trusts you, she is not a fool. She still understands the truth. Once you and the two marshals Zhang and Tang stand up, what do you think?
Which side will Zhu Yourong be on? At least she won't be on your side publicly, right? And even Zhu Yourong, I guess she will be against you
I have an opinion. Because you were unable to give a convincing source of information and lied one after another. Are these all facts? If she knows this, will she feel better about you or worse? You yourself
Think about it...you won't tell Zhu Yourong about 'time travel' again, right? Zhu Yourong is not me, let alone Qiu Qiu.
"You brought up the oil field theory just to make everyone pay attention to Manchuria and Mongolia, and to prevent the Ming Dynasty from uniting with Japan... Alas, you still have some advantages in this matter. After all, this is mainly decided by the cabinet, and their general staff's decision
80% of people can't attend the imperial meeting, but 80% of you can. All you need to do is make your case at the imperial meeting. But now because of the oil field incident, in order to quickly restore your relationship, I suggest that you speak on their behalf at the imperial meeting.
, support the union between Ming Dynasty and Japan."
Xiang Xiaoqiang was really anxious and said:
"Afang, I will listen to you even if you take the blame. Isn't it just the blame? Just take the blame... But the Ming Dynasty united with Japan. This is simply drinking poison to quench thirst and attract the wolf into the house..."
The fourteenth prince lowered his face and said sadly:
"What does it mean to drink poison to quench thirst? What does it mean to lure a wolf into the house? How did Japan become a wolf?... What kind of noble country is the Ming Dynasty? Why can't it unite Japan?... Now Japan is just missing a piece of land. With Manchuria and Mongolia, it will be in the future
Just like the Ming Dynasty, it became more civilized and wealthy...Why, do you still think that after Japan has Manchuria and Mongolia, it will go south to attack the Ming Dynasty?"
Xiang Xiaoqiang was speechless. He was just trying to talk happily, forgetting that there was also a 14-year-old plaid sitting here who considered Japan as his second home.
Moreover, what Shi Shigege said seems to make sense. Yes, Japan is just short of a larger piece of land and some resources. Manchuria and Mongolia have vast space, fertile land, extremely rich coal, iron, and forest resources. Let any one From the perspective of normal people, Japan has no reason to be dissatisfied after taking Manchuria and Mongolia. As for going south to attack the Ming Dynasty, it seems even more nonsense now. The gap between the Japanese army and the Ming Dynasty army is obvious to normal people at a glance. .
When Xiang Xiaoqiang looks at Japan, he always feels like he has a heartache. The above analysis can only be established if it is viewed by "normal people". And whether those who dominate Japan's destiny can be considered "normal people" will depend on the opinions of later generations. Based on experience, Xiang Xiaoqiang was very unsure.
However, baseless speculation alone is unconvincing. After all, you cannot say that a person may commit a crime in the future and arrest him now. So let alone Shi Shigege who doesn’t understand, I guess even Zhu Yourong and Shen Rongxuan can’t understand.
Xiang Xiaoqiang sighed, took Shi Shigege's hand, stroked it gently, and said:
"Okay, don't be angry...let me think about it..."
Fourteen Gege looked at him and said:
"Don't worry too much. Whether you have prejudices against Japan or not, it won't affect our relationship. What I love is you, not the prejudices in your mind. You don't have to take me too seriously. What I mean is Said... Putting aside whether Japan is a wolf or a sheep, your top priority now is to quickly restore the trust of the two old commanders in you. Now is not the time for you to sacrifice your life for the country, but on the contrary, to sacrifice your country for your own life.
"If the two old commanders restore their trust in you, even if Japan is a wolf, you can still play a role at the top and prepare for rainy days. If you lose their trust, then you will be squeezed out of the headquarters, except for the People's Guard. That little stall, the highest-level strategic decision-making of the entire Ming Empire military, don’t even think about participating in it like you are now. Then whether Japan is a wolf or a sheep, it won’t matter to you.”
Xiang Xiaoqiang held Shi Shi Ge Ge's hand tightly, and she didn't even know it hurt her. Although Shi Shi Ge Ge was in pain, she didn't pull away her hand, just let him hold it and stare at him.
Xiang Xiaoqiang thought for a long time, finally took a breath and sighed:
