Du Taiping's face turned red from suppressing his emotions. He wanted to say something but couldn't. His chest heaved with anger like a bellows.
"you you… "
Du Taiping pointed at Xun Shifei and put it down again, his mouth turning white.
He had never heard such dirty words in his life, and they were directed at himself.
No matter how much the city was, no matter how scheming Du Taiping was, he couldn't bear it anymore. Any city government pointed its nose here and said a curse word in front of so many people, all of it disappeared into nothing.
If Du Taiping hadn't maintained the only sense of reason, he would have wanted to roll up his sleeves and go get Xun Shifei.
Xun Shifei stared and scratched his neck: "Have you discussed it with me? What do you think of me? Is this your country alone? This is first of all the people's country, and secondly the country of the Jiuzhou Party, and You are just a manager, what right do you have to start a war without authorization? What qualifications do you have to hide this from me, the elected prime minister?"
As soon as he entered Quancheng County, Xun Shifei got the answer. Where did those twelve tons of gold come from? It was fought in a war.
Even if Du Taiping kept hiding it from him, Xun Shi flew back to Quancheng County, and the weight of the prime minister was placed there heavily. If he didn't know how he got it, then his position as prime minister would be in vain.
Du Taiping took a deep breath and resisted the urge to kill Xun Shifei. He was not surprised that Xun Shifei knew the whole story and just said coldly: "The people need a war."
"fart."
"Now New Kyushu's deficit is too big, and the consumption rate of the national treasury exceeds the progress of national infrastructure. In the past few days, it only took one battle to win New Kyushu at least five years. Just one battle, New Kyushu The construction speed is five years ahead of schedule. The people need such rapid development, and the people need this battle even more."
"That's enough. Don't pull the flag with me here. The Association for Co-Prosperity of Mankind is about to be established. Its purpose is peace, and its purpose is for mankind to share prosperity and progress together. Annan, Temasek, Pyu, and Siam . All of them are countries that responded to the call of the Kyushu Academy of Sciences and actively participated in the Human Co-Prosperity Society at the first time. The grand ceremony will be held in more than three months, but you launched a war at this time to kill those who responded The country called for by New Kyushu.”
After Xun Shifei finished speaking, Li Zhen frowned.
Du Taiping also frowned;
Every sentence in Xun Shifei's words refers to the Kyushu Academy of Sciences, and his intention is obvious.
Du Taiping couldn't bear to hear the relationship between Kyushu Academy of Sciences and New Kyushu, let alone other countries responding to the call of Kyushu Academy of Sciences instead of New Kyushu. However, Xun Shifei just said that, and his intentions were known to everyone on the road.
Li Zhen is also in a dilemma at the moment. He is most willing to distance himself from this kind of relationship, and he usually avoids this kind of relationship. Other countries responded to the call of the Kyushu Academy of Sciences. This is something they know well but cannot say out loud. It doesn’t sound good to say it.
He understood Xun Shifei's awkward and awkward position at the moment, and also knew that Xun Shifei was now eager to usurp power. He also knew that Xun Shifei was definitely going to join the Kyushu Academy of Sciences. But there are still some people who can't stand being used as a shield. ,
He wanted to say something, but finally stopped.
Li Zhen sighed, no one is perfect.
In fact, neither Xun Shifei nor Du Taiping wanted to have an existence above the country.
It's just that Du Taiping won't tolerate it no matter what the benefits are, but Xun Shifei can tolerate it temporarily as long as there are enough benefits.
Those are the differences.
But there is nothing that can be done about it. The two institutions are running parallel to each other. This kind of conflict and contradiction is inherent and there is no solution at all. The only solution is for the Human Co-Prosperity Society to take shape, a world-class institution and center of power, with the Kyushu Academy of Sciences standing above them all. Standing on a different plane and making everyone completely assured that you will not seize power can eliminate such contradictions.
But at this juncture, Du Taiping couldn't wait to launch a war. I have a headache.
Du Taiping skipped the Jiuzhou Academy of Sciences and said coldly: "Do you know what it means for a country to save five years of time? Prime Minister Xun."
"Do you know what impact a country will have on the international community if it suddenly goes to war with four countries at the same time and bullies them for no reason? Emperor Du."
"We've already been beaten, so what?" Du Taiping said with a smile.
Xun Shifei had no expression on his face and said calmly: "Then you did something wrong and it's time to admit it."
Du Taiping's eyes narrowed and he smiled: "I'm right."
"You have destroyed peace. You are a war maniac, a bloody person who only knows killing. Do you still have the nerve to say that you are right?"
"Before a high-end situation like peace, you should first ensure the benefits of your own nation. You say I am wrong. Maybe I am wrong in an international situation, but I am right in a national situation."
"There have been no slaves in the whole world for a long time. But you have enslaved people from other countries and forced them to serve New Kyushu. You can do such inhumane things. Today is a civilized society, but you have started Slavery, you are nothing short of a tyrant.”
Du Taiping laughed loudly: "Our country is powerful and there are too many things that need to be built. Without the participation of slaves, the country cannot support such a huge economic network. Still going back to that sentence, I may be a heinous person internationally. Although I am a hero among the nation, I am a hero for the country and the people."
"hero?"
Xun Shifei sneered: "You're really putting money on your face."
Li Zhen couldn't listen anymore. At first he didn't interrupt, but when he saw Du Taiping, he started talking more and more. He was actually still smug and proud of what he had done, which was completely unbearable.
Li Zhen stood up suddenly and said coldly:
"Emperor Du, don't you understand the principle of unsatisfactory retribution in the cycle of cause and effect? There is a saying that if you want to destroy it, you must first expand it. New Kyushu is too powerful now, and no force can restrain New Kyushu. If If New Kyushu itself cannot restrain itself. With so many enemies everywhere, can you guarantee that New Kyushu will always be prosperous? One day, when other countries gain strength, will that punch come back? You use When you hit someone with your fist, even if the enemy is beaten to death, you won't feel the pain. But what if that punch comes back one day?"
"I will not attack others unless they attack me. New Kyushu has strong military power, but it is not arrogant. This is the concept of longevity. Do you really want this country to become a short-lived dynasty?"
After Li Zhen finished speaking, he suddenly felt tired. Seeing the disapproval on Du Taiping's face, he knew that he would not be able to listen.
Looking at this problem from different angles, the answer is actually two-sided.
But what Li Zhen insists on is that prosperity must decline. What Du Taiping insists on is the arrogance and domineering attitude of fighting without fighting and fighting without grabbing.
Their purpose is to make this country strong and prosperous. It's just that different ways don't work together.
Li Zhen longs for peace.
And what most people in this world long for is peace.
Du Taiping insisted on war. He didn't care how many people died, they were not from New Kyushu anyway. However, he did not feel that science and technology are advancing rapidly and the military is becoming more and more powerful. It is no longer the age of swords, guns and sticks.
Firearms have equipped the entire army of New Kyushu, and sooner or later they will also equip the entire army of other countries.
The current war is more painful than before. He didn't notice...
He couldn't even guess that the weapons in the future would be more powerful and more terrifying. And war hurts even more...
It doesn't make sense. You can never wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep. Li Zhen sighed deeply, opened the door and left without staying any longer.
