Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

Counting from the beginning of the Battle of Daxia Pass, after Daxia defeated the Sakura Kingdom's combined fleet, Daxia's fleet has been blocking the waters of the Sakura Kingdom.

Many times, when merchant ships from Sakura Country go to sea, they will be inspected or driven back by Daxia's warships.

It can be said that Sakura Country's ocean trade has always been monitored by Daxia, and anything flowing to Sakura Country will be subject to layer-by-layer interrogation.

The empire's control over Sakura Country has reached a paranoid level.

In contrast, both the Sakura Country and other countries that had trade relations with the Sakura Country had lodged protests against Daxia.

But Daxia also had different attitudes towards the protests of the two.

Regarding Sakura Country's protests, he simply ignored them and did not respond or express his position. However, he still acted according to his own ideas and completely ignored all opinions and protests from Sakura Country.

For those countries that trade with Sakura Country, Daxia directly requires them to transport the goods to Daxia, and the purchase price is [-]% higher than that of Sakura Country.

In this way, the opinions of other countries were directly dismissed.

After all, those countries have also made money. They don't care who they are trading with, they only care about how much they make.

Since Daxia gave me an extra [-]% of profits, why would I still make trouble?

For those countries that insist on transporting goods to Sakura Country, such as John Country, the empire will find various excuses to seize their ships.

In short, without Daxia’s nod, Sakura Country would not be able to engage in ocean trade.

Sakura's territory is small and resources are scarce, and he is extremely dependent on ocean trade.

Under such control by the empire, all walks of life in Sakura Country could not develop.

Regarding this situation, everyone in Sakura Country was holding back their anger from top to bottom, but there was nothing they could do.

They knew very well that this was because the empire did not trust him and paid to monitor them.

Only by dispelling Daxia's wariness against Sakura Country, would they have the opportunity to develop and take revenge on Xue Heng.

But now, it seems that there is really such an opportunity in front of Sakura Country.

As long as the Sakura Kingdom expresses its willingness to send troops to attack the Twin Cities with Daxia this time, and achieve some results in this war, it will definitely change Daxia's view of the Sakura Country.

As for after the war, Sakura Valley didn't ask for anything else, as long as the empire could allow their ships to go to sea.

Therefore, under the instruction of Seiichi Terauchi, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Sakura submitted a request to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Daxia Empire, hoping that Daxia would allow Sakura to send troops to participate in the war.

After Minister of Foreign Affairs Li Fu received the request from Sakura Country, he could not make a decision and could only report the matter directly to the headquarters.

Coincidentally, Lin Yi was on duty today.

Lin Yi also knew about Pan Chengzhang's order asking the Fuso Nation to join the war. At that time, he was wondering whether the Sakura Nation would also ask to join the war.

If they ask to join the war, do you have to agree? If agreed, where should they be sent?

The other thing is what benefits Daxia should give Sakura Country after the war is over.

As a time traveler, Lin Yi naturally knew the character of Sakura's group.

That is a wild dog that has not been raised well. When you are strong, they will be very docile, but once they feel that they are strong, they will unscrupulously want to devour the original owner.

The reason for all this is that the senior officials of Sakura Country, from top to bottom, are a group of complete lunatics and war maniacs.

There is also the reason for their own geographical location. Lack of resources forced them to expand.

Therefore, Sakura Country's crazy desire to expand its territory is a deep-rooted thought in their own country, and it is from top to bottom.

If you want to change this kind of thinking, you can only start from the root. On the one hand, you can eliminate their senior leaders and let their senior leaders collectively change their blood, including the so-called Tianhuang.

Then start with education to teach the new generation of Sakura citizens, letting them understand that only by surrounding themselves under the banner of the empire can they live a good life.

Similarly, only when this generation of Sakura Country people grow up can they completely change Sakura Country's shoe ambitions.

As for that, there are still many people on posterity forums advocating the elimination of all Sakura people.

Not to mention whether this idea is currently unrealistic or whether it can be done, even if Daxia now has the ability, what do you think will happen to Daxia in terms of international public opinion if it does this?

That would definitely be what the Western world calls a tyrant and a massacre, which would in turn change the empire's image in the world.

It will also affect the empire's future deployment in the world.

After all, no country is willing to associate with a country that is willing to destroy the country and genocide at every turn.

Therefore, Lin Yi calmly thought about it again and again, and felt that the only way to interrupt the development of Sakura Country, eliminate their militaristic ideas, and prevent their external expansion was through education.

After all, as long as there are people of the older generation around now, they are a factor of instability.

Even the Fuso Kingdom, which seems to be docile now, is like this.

According to the intelligence collected by Fang Xiao's agents stationed in Fusang Kingdom, there are also some people in Fusang Kingdom who are against the empire and want to devour the empire.

Such people are well hidden, and Lin Yi has no intention of touching them now.

They are waiting for an opportunity, why not Lin Yi?

Anyway, in one sentence, if Lin Yi wants to completely solve Sakura's problem, he must wait for people like them to take the initiative.

Only if they take the initiative to jump out, eliminate them, and completely eliminate their upper structure can they carry out educational reforms in Sakura Country and teach the younger generation of Sakura Country people what gratitude means.

Just like that time during the Tang Dynasty, let these Sakura people be the most loyal dogs of the empire.

Of course, if you want to achieve this step, or in other words, if you want to eliminate their upper structure, you can only use violent means.

And this kind of violent method is, to put it bluntly, a war, and this war can only be started by the Sakura Kingdom.

Lin Yi feels a little resentful now. If he had known it would be like this, he should have made up his mind to fight Sakura Country to the end.

In that case, there would be no need for such trouble.

Now the Yingchun Sakura Kingdom has been beaten to death by Daxia, but they have no shortage of people in their upper-level structure, which is a bit of a loss.

However, Lin Yi just thought about it. At that time, the empire fought on multiple fronts, and its national strength was not as strong as it is now, and it could not support multi-front operations at all.

But now, as the country becomes stronger, there is no excuse. However, this kind of thing is not difficult, just troublesome.

If there is no excuse, just make one. If there is no strength, just help Sakura Country improve.

Anyway, the first shot must be fired by Sakura Kingdom, otherwise, the empire will be very passive.

One is invasion, the other is counter-invasion, and then it is pushed to your own home. In these two situations, people will choose the second one.

Anyway, Lin Yi just said that he would let Sakura Country take the initiative to stir up trouble. Although this arrangement may take ten or twenty years of planning, Lin Yi thinks it is worth it.
