Chapter 320 What to eat tonight?
"If you don't go to sea in person..."
Hearing Xu Shi's words, Xia Keyan blinked his eyes and said thoughtfully, "So you are planning to send people out to explore?"
She didn't want to play "What is it?" and "You are so awesome!" with Xu Shi. Such little tricks to satisfy a man's vanity were only played by children.
And now that she is in the royal sister form, she doesn't rarely do that kind of thing.
No matter what she thought, Xu Shi just smiled and nodded.
During this trip to the Hualan Empire, he was more of a pioneer, setting a pattern for subsequent development. It really made him spend the rest of his life on continuous overseas expansion, and he himself was unwilling to do so.
This person's nature is still lazy, and after all, he is also the leader of a party. It is no problem for the commander to personally conquer once or twice. It is always a little inappropriate to always leave the rear base camp empty.
Now that we have experience, we naturally need to make adjustments to our methods.
While stabilizing and improving navigation technology, just continue to send fleets to explore.
And he only needs to carry out unified command at the base camp, which is much more efficient in comparison.
"really."
Xia Wuyou also agreed. She knew that everyone had gained a lot from this trip.
At least this model has been established, from setting up signal nodes along the way, to building overseas bases, and then establishing diplomatic relations with other regions and conducting trade according to demand... If it can be continued, a world-wide network will be launched within a few years. network.
But well.
"There is a problem that needs to be paid attention to. How to determine the overall strength of other city-states?"
Xia Mao Mao reminded again, "You must remain vigilant on this point."
This is a big issue that cannot be ignored.
In other words, this is the embodiment of the law of the dark forest.
Each experimental area is an independent entity and different from each other. There is no guarantee that all places are as friendly as the Hualan Empire.
In other words, the Hualan Empire did not have a friendly attitude towards outsiders visiting from the beginning - it was Yinsong Island who had a friendly attitude, and that was because everyone accidentally saved Pan Cheng The life of a family.
The main body of the empire was quite repulsive to outsiders like them at the beginning. Although the resistance provided was not enough to really hinder Xu Shi's footsteps, it still provided resistance after all.
This is to be expected. After all, "Heavenly Law" itself divides each area very widely, and we also hope to see the city-states working on their own.
If you think about it from another person's perspective, if someone had landed in Night Sin City before Xu Shi went to sea, their reaction might not have been much better.
Under such circumstances, going out to sea to explore is inherently risky. The Hualan Empire's trip went relatively smoothly, mostly because of their technology, or their overall strength, which allowed them to beat up a wave of primitive people.
But what if other regions are stronger than them?Then the result may be different.
Risking exposure to let the other party know that there are other forces besides themselves, it is very likely that it will backfire on them, just like they did on the Hualan Empire.
Conquering, establishing diplomatic relations, and being conquered are all possible. We cannot always plan for the best, but should prepare for the worst.
Thinking about it like this, Xia Wuyou was a little scared. Fortunately, the first time he went to sea was in the simple mode, otherwise it is not sure what it would be like now.
Xu Shi was noncommittal, but he just comforted the other party.
"I've thought about it. If we want to cast the net out, we have to focus on restraint."
He said solemnly, "That is to say, temporarily lower your profile at the beginning, for example, try to explore and contact other city-states in the name of a caravan, and then make adjustments after you find out their details."
Yes, since it is a dark forest, they have to learn a little bit.
Appear before the hunter as prey.
The caravan trade model is obviously easier for most people to accept their existence, and exchanging what they have is also the easiest way to know the strength of the other party.
As for whether there will be a disparity in strength, he is still very confident on this point.
"First of all, the overall strength of Night Sin City is by no means bad."
He analyzed, “It cannot be said that we are the strongest, but at least we are in the middle-to-upper range.”
This is still a very conservative estimate.
"Secondly, with the way of planning each region according to the "natural principles", it is absolutely impossible for the gap to be too large. "
He said seriously, "Because doing so is undoubtedly contrary to their ultimate goal."
The reason is simple. It is normal for city-states to have differences, but this is only to ensure the diversity of the experimental area, so as to accumulate more samples for them and make it easier to find ways to clear the "rust fog".
But if there is a situation where the upper and lower limits are too large, fundamental problems will arise - to take the simplest example, if there is really an area in charge of such heaven-defying technology as two-way foil, then there is no need for him to waste time. If they do these things with all their heart, this one city-state will be enough to crush the others and then become the king.
But as a result, the number of samples that "Tianli" can collect will continue to decrease. Will it only rely on this one place in the end?
It was obvious to them that they couldn't take such a risk.
Therefore, at the beginning of the planning, "Heavenly Law" must have stipulated that all areas should be within a range. Each other's strength must be high or low, but there will never be too much of a tilt.
Even the battle between Night Sin City and the Hualan Empire is the same - although I say they are crushing each other, the software advantage of ideology and information gap is the key to determining victory or defeat.
As for hard power, it was because they won over the royal family, suppressed the Holy See, and created divisions within them that they were able to win so smoothly.
But if the Holy See and the royal family unite to deal with him, an outsider, will it really be so smooth?Not even thinking about it.
Even if you can chew off this bone, it is very likely that both sides will be hurt or even the fish will die.
Therefore, this issue requires attention, but there is no need to be too afraid.
Occupying the middle position between zero and one hundred, and occupying the middle position between zero and ten thousand are two completely different concepts.
"And we are not primarily about expansion and conquest, right?"
The old aunt expanded her thoughts and said, "What should be established is a model similar to an alliance."
"Now that we have the Hualan Empire as an ally, if we are the pioneers in going to sea, this is already a big advantage."
She rarely put on a serious face, "In this case, if we can win one or two more ally city-states, we will definitely dominate."
"As this alliance continues to grow, those regions that are still independent need to consider the consequences of not standing on the same front as us."
"Of course."
Xu Shiwen Zou Zou recited something and touched her head, "My good daughter is so smart."
"Who is your daughter?"
The white-haired sister gave her a slap in the eyes.
"Oh, yes yes yes."
Xu Shi quickly changed his words, "You are not my daughter, you are a fool who sincerely feeds the dog." "...I will bite you to death!"
The old aunt was instantly furious. Did the little boy learn to play a boomerang?
Are you talking about serious things now?
The two of them got into a fight going back and forth.
Xia Wuyou just wanted to laugh after seeing it.
She still had some memories of her childhood. Ten years ago, no one would have been able to do this, and make the dignified second head of the family act like a little daughter-in-law, who would lose his temper and be jealous.
She likes this kind of harmonious atmosphere very much, it's just fun, it's just fun.
Xu Shi and Xia Keyan chatted for a long time before stopping. The old aunt was not good at running and fell weakly into Xu Shi's arms, still holding his face with one hand.
If it's in lolita form, it wouldn't be too cute, but if it's in royal sister form... it's a bit childish.
I don’t know who was shouting in his heart just now, saying that it’s not uncommon for him to behave like a child.
Xu Shi easily took off her hand and let her rest on his lap.
The topic is back on track.
"Ahem, let's get down to business."
Xu Shi restrained his smile and said, "In fact, the most important thing about establishing an alliance system is not trade or diplomacy, but to bring as many people as possible into the water."
"Ok?"
"In other words, we need to try to wake up more people."
Xu Shi said seriously, "Let them realize that their lives are being manipulated, so that they won't be afraid that they won't be able to make the right choice."
Yes, his starting point is not actually to conquer other areas. It can only be regarded as a means, not the ultimate goal.
The ultimate goal is to overturn the "natural law" and then clear the "rust fog".
The trip to the Hualan Empire also gave him a lot of inspiration. He was not the only one in the world who was unhappy with the "natural principles".
For example, after learning the truth, Pan Ling, Lu Baiyan, and Dongfang Xiao all felt deeply disgusted with the mastermind behind all this.
Having a yearning for the City of Night Sin and wanting to establish communication with it is an ideological issue and does not affect anything else.
They also cannot accept that their lives are set up to serve a specific person.
With an Arrancar, can people in other city-states just accept this?There is a high probability that it is impossible.
It’s just that I don’t know what’s behind all this.
Then, all you need to do is reveal all this at the right time. Such traceable and heavy news is enough to make most people wake up.
And once they accept this fact, it is obvious what they will do.
Of course, there must be a group of people who are unwilling to accept it, or who are still stubborn.
For example, the "protagonists" in each region, as vested interests, would not let anyone interfere with their good life. To take the simplest example, even if people like Shen He or Luo Yu knew the truth, they would choose Give up?Absolutely not.
They will only be tied more closely to the "law of heaven" because they are the chosen ones.
So, for such existence, simply eliminate them. Boss Xu has already killed two "protagonists" and doesn't mind three, four, five or six more.
But even so, there is no guarantee that there will be a "protagonist" willing to resist?Just because you haven't met someone like this doesn't mean that such a person doesn't exist. Whether there will be a "protagonist" who is willing to give up a good life and seek freedom in a higher dimension is something I can't say for sure.
You can't say that if you meet two bad guys, you should completely deny others.
“In short, what we need to do ultimately boils down to screening.”
He cleared his throat and concluded, "Choosing people who can stand with us is also an enhancement to our overall strength."
As for how to screen, that is something he has to make adjustments according to different situations.
"Looks like you're going to trouble me again."
Xia Keyan recommended himself, raised his head and looked at him and smiled, "Quickly coax me, or I will go on strike and quit."
She knew very well how useful her ability would be in this kind of thing. To put it bluntly, it was pure cheating - observing other people's futures, analyzing whether they could be drawn over based on probability, and picking out hidden objects in each area. "Supervisor".
This family would have to break up without me!
Xia Wuyou didn't say anything, just sat up straighter and gave Xu Shi a look.
To this day, the tacit understanding between the two is unbreakable, and there is no need to say anything about communication.
Xia Maomao thinks that she can't think as much as Xu Shi or her aunt, but she also has her own advantages - her combat power is top-notch, whether it is leading the fleet to sea or eliminating heretics, she is a good hand, and she is also willing to Shine and heat in these places, thereby contributing to Xu Shi's plans.
No one seems to really worry about the dangers involved in such a crazy plan, because everyone's attitude on this point is quite consistent.
There are definitely dangers, but they should not stop doing it just because there is danger. Instead, they should make a more comprehensive and complete plan as much as possible so that their plan can be executed smoothly.
"...This is just a prototype of the plan, and it is still early to be implemented."
Xu Shi smiled, "We haven't even arrived home yet, so it feels a bit too hasty to express our position now."
"We've expressed our stance, so you can have some fun."
Xia Keyan rolled her eyes at him, "It just means you're doing well...Why, don't you feel very regretful that you don't plan to go to sea again and can't find a beautiful girl again?"
"Is there anyone cuter than you in this world?"
Xu Shi was very surprised by her strangeness.
I have to say that he knows how to coax people. The old aunt blushed visibly, and she couldn't hide the smile in her eyebrows.
She likes to hear it.
Unexpectedly, Xu Shi looked at Xia Wuyou in the next second and said, "Oh, it turns out there is."
Xia Mao Mao was stunned for a moment and then couldn't help laughing.
This man is getting better and better at smooth talk, right?
But she also felt the same way, so she leaned over while talking.
"I don't recognize the nice things you say. You have to do something practical."
Hearing this, Xia Keyan also came to the other side and started to unbutton his clothes like the female gangster, "Xu Shi, I also want to..."
Why do you have to maintain the royal sister form all the time?Isn't it just for this matter...
Eat rice bowl tonight!
