Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

Chapter 316 They have lost their minds

After receiving Lin Yi's promise to found the country, Edmund was trembling with excitement.

The establishment of an independent country has been the desire of the Jews for thousands of years, and they have also struggled for this goal for thousands of years.

But no country has ever been willing to help them recover.

Even the powerful monarchs in Europe tried their best to suppress them.

This was the case with the previous John Empire, Hans Empire, Gallic Empire, and even the older Roman Empire.

They allowed Jews to live in their country, but they were unable to serve as officials, own their own territory, or become nobility.

People like them can only live at the bottom of society.

If they didn't have some business acumen, it is estimated that their nation would have disappeared in the long river of history.

However, even though they have business acumen and earn a lot of money, they do not have the matching force to protect their property.

This made them a favorite in the eyes of the kings of various countries. When you don’t have money, you ask the Jews for it.

Therefore, for thousands of years, Jews have been treated like pigs to be raised.

And now, His Excellency Lin Yi, the most powerful prince in the most powerful empire in the East, has personally promised to give them a piece of land after the war to establish a country that belongs only to them.

This gave Edmund some leverage.

Because when he came to Daxia, he had understood the culture of Daxia. They pay attention to integrity and value their promises.

The ancient sages of this empire have always taught their descendants to treat others with sincerity.

Therefore, Edmund felt that these Daxia people were credible.

As for whether the Daxia people have other requirements, in Edmund's opinion, it doesn't matter.

Daxia is so powerful, what do they ask people like them to do? It's nothing more than paying for it.

do they care?

Edmund and the others didn't care.

Money, they Jews have made a lot, people, they have too.

The only thing they lack is support, recognition, and a promise to allow them to establish an independent nation.

For this reason, Edmund and the others are willing to give up their thousands of years of wealth, and they are also willing to pick up guns and step onto the battlefield for this dream.

It has to be said that the Jews were obsessed with the matter of founding their country.

Lin Yi just grasped this pain point and made the Jews willing to do things for him.

Therefore, this time Edmund came to Lin Yi to express their demands to Lin Yi on behalf of the entire Jewish people.

As soon as Lin Yi and Edmund met, Edmund knelt down to Lin Yi and immediately put Lin Yi to death.

Lin Yi quickly picked up his "partner" and asked him why he did this.

But Edmund's answer made Lin Yi dumbfounded.

It turned out that after the last conversation with Lin Yi, after returning to Europe to discuss with several major Jewish families, he made a complete decision to turn to Daxia.

Therefore, after Edmund returned, he invited a Daxia man to be his teacher. He studied for a long time.

Lin Yi couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this reason, and then asked Edmund to be casual.

When Edmund heard Lin Yi's words, he said that he was fine as he was now.

Since Edmund is willing, what else does Lin Yi say? Then let’s get down to business.

Edmund first expressed his gratitude to Lin Yi for his willingness to help them build their country, and then expressed their willingness to fully support Lin Yi's war against European countries.

In order to further strengthen Daxia's strength, Edmund expressed that they are willing to provide Daxia with no less than [-] million imperial silver dollars every year.

At the same time, Edmund said that he had sent messages to Jews around the world and could provide Lin Yi with a large number of technical talents.

Of course, Edmund once again expressed his willingness to invest and build a factory in Daxia.

Lin Yi once again declined Edmund's offer to invest in building a factory, but he welcomed Edmund's willingness to provide funds and technical talent.

Lin Yi then reiterated that when the war in Europe ends, Daxia will fully support Edmund and their dream of establishing a country in Europe.

However, Lin Yi also made it clear to Edmund that in order to achieve this, the empire needed to win the right to speak in Europe.

And this right to speak needs to be obtained through war.

Therefore, Lin Yi told Edmund that the empire needed to send troops to Europe. However, the European countries were now very powerful, and Daxia needed to prepare for some time.

Lin Yi assured Edmund that the empire's participation in this war would not be later than the third year after the war in Europe.

As for whether the European side can fight for that long, Edmund and others need to find a way.

In short, the longer Europe fights, the more powerful the empire will gain.

When Edmund heard Lin Yi's request, he said that he had no way to guarantee Lin Yi anything, but he was unwilling to actively discuss with other families.

Lin Yi naturally would not refuse this. So Lin Yi decided that we could discuss this matter later.

On another matter, Lin Yi said that Daxia could help the Jews train an army of two to thirty thousand people.

Edmund expressed great interest in this.

Actually, it’s not that there are no Jews who have joined the army, and it’s not that there are no people who are engaged in the arms business.

However, those who join the army have always been marginalized and cannot be promoted. At most, they can only reach the company or battalion level.

And even so, the soldiers in their hands will look down on Jewish officers.

Therefore, the Jews have never had their own armed forces.

But now, as soon as Lin Yi opened his mouth, there was an army of two to thirty thousand, and they were all their own people from top to bottom.

So Edmund began to get excited again.

Although he knew that this army was actually Lin Yi's condition for the empire to join the war late, but this condition was too good.

Edmund had the urge to agree.

In current terms, it's not that he doesn't want to refuse, but that the other party gives too much.

Immediately, Edmund said that he wanted to contact other families now, hoping that Lin Yi could equip him with a radio station.

Lin Yi naturally agreed and immediately asked Fang Xiao to make arrangements.

After sending Edmund away, Fang Xiaocai asked Lin Yi: "My lord, are you so relieved about this Edmund?"

"What's there to worry about?" Lin Yi smiled immediately after hearing Fang Xiao's words.

"But, Prince Edmund is a Jew, and their reputation in Europe is not very good." Fang Xiao said with a frown.

"I know, but what does this have to do with my country? The Jews are cheating Europeans."

"No, Your Majesty, I mean, these Jews are too cunning and not worthy of trust."

Fang Xiao became a little anxious when he saw that Lin Yi kept misunderstanding what he meant.

But Lin Yi smiled faintly, looked at Fang Xiao and said, "I know what you mean, but what I want to say is that you still don't understand what the founding of the country means to the Jews."

"To put it simply, founding a nation has been their nation's wish for thousands of years."

"Now that their thousand-year wish has finally reached the point where they can reach out and touch it, do you think they will be stupid enough to push this opportunity away again?"

"Fang Xiao, they have lost their minds and gone crazy. They are no longer as shrewd as they used to be. They are now willing to give everything just for the wishes in their hearts."

"Faced with such people, would you worry that they would side with you?"
