Although Yan Tong's expression did not change much when faced with such praise from his own legion commander, his tone was a little frightened: "The legion commander's words are a bit embarrassing to Yan Tong. Yan Tong was just speaking out of his feelings. Who did he choose in the first place?" As the center of Western Xinjiang, His Highness may have already made plans. It was just an expedient measure to balance civil disputes. This Western Xinjiang Protectorate and even the Prince of Qin's Palace are just temporary names. Your Excellency has not seen the jurisdiction of this Western Xinjiang Protectorate. The place can be summed up with the word Xijiang, which is probably the name of the place where His Highness King Qin made his fortune. When His Highness ascends to the highest position, neither Qingyang nor Hanzhong will be suitable as the center of the entire territory. , so this temporary move can maintain public sentiment."
"Yan Tong, Yan Tong, I think your eloquence is getting better and better. No matter what you say, you are right. However, I am afraid that His Highness King Qin's ambitions are beyond the scope of you and me." Seeing the other party looking at him with some confusion, He Lianbo considered his words before saying slowly: "Perhaps everyone thinks that His Highness will follow his steps to unify the empire step by step and create a new imperial dynasty, but I don't think so."
"Oh?" Yan Tong was shocked in his heart. He didn't expect that the words he had boldly predicted would not be greatly recognized by the other party. For the moment, he really couldn't figure out what the hidden meaning in the other party's words meant, but he took a closer look. After thinking about it, I quickly understood the far-reaching meaning, "Your Highness, do you mean that His Highness will not unify the empire and become emperor, or will His Highness move to other places?"
"Haha, Lao Yan, what do you think?" Helianbo did not answer the other party directly, but just smiled slyly, "See if His Highness refuses to relax his control on the Tengger Grassland even when the situation is so tense. Now you can think about it. Let’s take a look at why the performance of Ying Jianming’s army in India aroused the anger of His Highness the King of Qin. He even ordered Mi Feng, the director of the Military Justice Department, to personally lead a special trip to deal with it. I’m afraid it’s not simply because of Is it that simple to improve military discipline?"
Yan Tong's expression changed slightly, and he lowered his voice carefully and said: "What do you mean, Your Highness, will still use troops against India? But now that India has obeyed our words, what reason do we have to march?"
"Hey, Lao Yan, what you said is a bit out of line. This world is originally about the jungle. Is there any reason why the wolf eats the sheep? As for pretending to be a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, that's easy. Very, just make up some reasons, create some troubles, and stir up the discussion, you have everything. Not to mention that it is not just us who are interested in India. I learned from the people in the Military Intelligence Agency that the Hansen Alliance in the west It seems that India is also coveted. The Holy Spirit Cult has stirred up trouble in the Yakuan territory. Is it really for the purpose of preaching freedom and saving people from fire and water so that they can go to heaven? The guys at the top of the Hansen Alliance are inseparable from this. Instigating and teasing, alas, all of this is just a means for the people in power to fool the local lower class people and deceive their support. Our performance in India has greatly stimulated the Hansen Alliance in the Western Continent. They have been manipulated by Luo Confined by the harassment of the Bei and Chidi people, they were unable to look eastward. Now the Luobei people were weak, and the Chidi people focused their attention on some small countries further to the west. They seemed to feel that they had someone with us. The land of India is full of capital. This real imperial civil war is just the beginning, and the competition in the Central Continent is probably the biggest one."
No matter whether the other party could understand or not, Helianbo seemed to have not talked openly like this for a long time. Shanzhu is a stuffy jar, and he keeps everything in his heart. Linghu Yi is gone, and Yan Tong rarely excelled in other areas besides his performance in military affairs planning, so he has rarely done so in such a long time. Someone to talk to. After listening to Yan Tong's words today, Helianbo realized that this man who was born in a gang like himself was not like ordinary generals who came from gangs and only knew about fighting. His analysis of Qingyang's geographical location also made it clear. This aroused his interest in talking, and he began to talk endlessly.
"In this way, the empire is just a stepping stone for His Highness's ambition. But even if His Highness unifies the empire, the Liberians in the north and the Machihans in the south are probably the main enemies after His Highness unifies the empire. , I’m afraid we have to wait until these two problems are solved before the Central Continent becomes the goal in His Highness’ mind, right?” After being stimulated by Helianbo’s words, his thoughts became broader, and there were not so many scruples in his words.
"Well, it stands to reason that this is the case, but the Liberian countries have strong national customs and come from the same clan. They may not have the same strategy in the original invasion of the empire from the north. But once we want to conquer them for the purpose of conquering, I'm afraid They will unite to fight. It is not that easy to completely conquer this land. It is just that they have been too focused on developing military power in the past few decades and have ignored the decisive role of economy in improving military power. It is a pity that Carmen's Gomer Si has stepped down, and Bokaninsky of the Sisi Luo people came to power too late. Otherwise, we really don’t have much chance in this area. As for the Machikhans, they are just an upstart. Although there is Bishili Lei Juetian and his two men tried their best to run the business, but the population quality of the Machihan people determined their economic strength, and it was too short for Yuejing and Ankunjimelo to fall into their hands. In addition, the Machihan people lacked the foundation of civilization. , it is impossible to assimilate those conquered areas, and the national power cannot be integrated for the use of the country. Therefore, regardless of how they are showing off their power now, they are actually just a strong foreign force and a weak leader. If we really talk about the war potential, in my opinion, it may not be comparable to a Kaiser. The Man Empire or the Hesi Luo Empire, of course, in their land, the special climate and geographical environment in the south may have many disadvantages for our Western Xinjiang army's operations. This may be the only thing that the Macchi Khans can be proud of and lucky for. place."
"In general, whether it is the Liberian countries or the Machikhans, although these countries have merits, one thing is fatal, that is, these countries lack a mechanism to discover and stimulate people's talents. , whether in the army or the government, one person's ability alone cannot change the entire country. Even if he holds power, it will only be a superficial change. Really deep changes cannot be achieved by one or two people. of."
This was the first time that Yan Tong had seen his legion commander be so bold and unscrupulous in his evaluation of the major powers in the Eastern Continent. However, he had to admit that his legion commander's words all directly touched all parties. The key point, and what shocked him even more was what He Lianbo said next. It was simply impossible for it to come from a former bandit leader. If it came from His Highness the King of Qin or Xiao Tang, Su Qin or even Yan Tong might be able to accept what Ling Tianfang said, but when it came from Helianbo's words, it was really unbelievable.
Seeing Yan Tong's unbelievable and shocked eyes darting back and forth on him, Helianbo also felt a little blushing, "Why, Lao Yan, do you think that what I, Helianbo, said has made you feel like you have been apart for three days?" A feeling of admiration? Isn’t that what I can’t say?”
"No, no, Yan Tong was just a little surprised by his previous views on the legion commander. It seems that Yan Tong really needs to ask the legion commander for advice in the future. I hope the legion commander will spare no time to give you more advice." Yan Tong quickly looked away but was muttering in his heart. , it seems that the saying that people should not be judged by their appearance, but the sea cannot be measured, has been fully verified. My previous views on this legion commander were only superficial. I did not expect that this seemingly rough guy would have such ink in his belly. The conclusions drawn from classics are enough to make you a professor in a military academy.
Seeing the serious and cautious look on Yan Tong's face, Helianbo couldn't help but laugh: "Old Yan, it seems that I really frightened you, old boy. Let me tell you, those words before were indeed my words. Even in the speech given by Dean Fei Mu of Northwest Military Academy at the graduation ceremony, despite the lustful appearance of Dean Fei Mu, the guy does have some real talent in his belly. When analyzing the battle cases, There is one thing after another, and the analysis and judgment of the current situation of various countries in the mainland is also well-founded. You can't help but be dissatisfied. Even the professors hired from the Western Continent respect him very much and call him a leader in military theory. Invited him to give lectures in the Western Continent, but it seems that His Highness the King of Qin resolutely stopped him. I have benefited a lot from going to study twice. I have submitted a third application report to the Military Affairs Administration for further study, but it seems that in this It’s unlikely until the war is over.”
Hearing what He Lianbo said, Yan Tong's doubts were finally relieved. Although the military analysis was reasonable, the judgment on the talent mechanism did not seem to come from the other party's mouth, but Helianbo This general statement aroused Yan Tong's strong interest in going to the Military Academy for further study. He had missed the opportunity to go to the Military Academy for further study several times, which made Yan Tong a little regretful. Now that he heard this, Yan Tong was even more eager to go to the Military Academy for further study. Removing the military responsibilities from his shoulders, he immediately went to the Northwest Military Academy in Dongxiao, Qingyang, not far ahead. Unfortunately, the war was about to start. It was impossible to apply by himself anyway. He could only wait until the war on the peninsula was over to see if there would be any. No chance.
