When people are happy, ideas come to them like springs. Li Yuanming immediately spoke out his ideas in a torrent of words.
"For a situation like Bian State, it would be bad for us to take the initiative to contact them. We should lure them over and let them take the initiative to contact us. During this period, we should be a little arrogant. The people of the Demonic Path have a bit strange tempers. The more polite you are to them, the more they think you are easy to bully, and the more difficult it is to communicate with them. Within a moderate range, if we are a little arrogant, they will recognize us."
"Although there are also people of the magic path in the Kingdom of Shang, and some of them even work in government departments, these people can only be considered as practicing magic at best, and not real people of the magic path. Only those who grew up in a magic environment can be considered real people of the magic path. These people have relatively extreme and contradictory thoughts, and they are eager for quick success and like to kill and fight. In addition, people of the magic path value trust and promise, and it is not uncommon for people to die for their promises. But at the same time, the people of the magic path are also the ones who trample on trust and promise the most. So, they are full of contradictions."
"But the people of the Demonic Path have one advantage over the people of the Righteous Path, and that is that they are more receptive to new things! The Demonic Path is full of extreme and radical ideas, which gives our Shang Kingdom and Bian Kingdom a natural common ground."
"So, considering all the above, we will take the opportunity of developing Ziyan County's oil to conduct a military exercise next to Ziyan County. This will include giant ships, cannons, aircraft, landing operations, and so on. Such a military exercise not only demonstrates the strength of industry and commerce and our power, but also directly deters the recently active Liu State and the Bian State. Kill two birds with one stone! In addition, due to the recent joint attack by the State of Cai and the State of Chen on the State of Zheng, the east of Yingzhou has been undercurrents. The political vacuum caused by the demise of the old countries of Daxia and Qi has finally begun to collapse. A war is inevitable. We will take the opportunity to show our strength to buy time for our development."
"We should not take the initiative to contact the people of Bian State. After the military exercise is over, we will start to build Ziyan County. If we encounter people from the Demonic Path who come to chat with us, it is best to forcefully drive them away at the beginning. This will actually lower their vigilance. Moreover, there is a characteristic of human nature. The more we drive them away, the more interested they will be. After more than five Demonic Path governors come to see us, we will then receive them arrogantly."
"As long as we have the meeting, the rest will be easy. We just need to follow the routine."
After hearing this, Li Xian only thought for a moment and immediately decided, "Military exercises are good, let's have a military exercise."
Ziyan County was isolated and an important oil region after all, so Li Xian had to be cautious. Such a military exercise was very important for protecting Ziyan County.
The navy chief Chang Lin has led the fleet to conduct reconnaissance in Ziyan County, and Hao Youcai will be in charge of this military exercise.
Hao Youcai received the order and immediately got busy. He was so idle that he felt uncomfortable. In fact, Hao Youcai was originally stationed in Ziyan County, but there was nothing going on in Ziyan County, and it was deserted. Bian State had no navy, so Hao Youcai was really bored.
In the next few days, the top leaders of the Shang Kingdom began to get busy.
