Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

Chapter 495 Interview at the Railway Station

After Lin Yi visited the Mauser factory, he received a telegram from Wilhelm II inviting Lin Yi to Berlin.

After Lin Yi received the telegram. After thinking about what they had to buy, they returned directly to Bremen, picked up Lin Wanyu, and then headed towards Berlin.

And when Lin Yi arrived in Berlin with his family, a new day began.

As soon as the train door opened, the platform was full of reporters, wanting to interview this prince from the East.

Lin Yi first signaled Fang Zhong to take Lin Wanyu away first, and then he stood in front of reporters.

"Your Highness, Your Highness!" When reporters saw Lin Yi appear, they gathered around and wanted to interview Lin Yi.

Lin Yi also knows very well that in Europe, these reporters are very difficult to deal with.

Here, the West claims to be a civilized world, flaunts freedom and talks about freedom of speech, so it gives these journalists great rights.

If Lin Yi doesn't accept an interview today, maybe tomorrow's front page headline will read "Prince of Daxia, arrogant and rude".

Lin Yi didn't want these reporters to randomly edit him in the newspaper, so Lin Yi participated in this interview.

What's more, this is also a good opportunity to promote Daxia.

Lin Yi pointed at a reporter at random, and the reporter immediately had a smile on his face.

"Dear Your Highness the Prince, I am a reporter from Paris Daily. Are you coming to Europe for peace this time?" the reporter from Paris Daily asked.

Hearing this question, Lin Yi nodded with a smile on his face.

"of course."

"The war has been going on for a long time, and countries around the world have also been devastated by war. Now we should work for peace, and any differences can be put on the negotiating table for discussion."

Lin Yi nodded and said.

Every time he said a word, the reporters took notes.

"Your Excellency, I am a reporter from The Times. What will Daxia bring to Europe and the world this time? Will it be war or peace?"

Lin Yi heard a sweet voice. He turned around and found that the other person was a beautiful reporter with blonde hair and blue eyes.

"I have said before that this time, Daxia comes with peace. The Daxia Empire hopes to resolve partnership disputes through peaceful means."

"And, in my opinion, as long as both sides are willing to work things out at the negotiating table, then war will never come."

"Your Excellency, the Great Xia Empire chose to stand with the Hans Empire and rashly launched a war against the Allied Powers. Especially since Great Xia chose to go to war without declaring it and attacked the American Pacific Fleet, will Great Xia feel ashamed?"

At this moment, Lin Yi suddenly heard a very discordant question.

When this question was asked, the reporters and Lin Yi present fell silent.

Those reporters looked at that reporter like a fool.

Especially the reporters from the countries of Gaul and John who have just spoken. As the main participating countries and organizing countries of the Allied Powers, they were not the first to ask this question. How dare you?

After Lin Yi heard the other party's question, he immediately reacted after a brief moment of confusion.

He still had a look on his face, and then said to the reporter who had just spoken: "Although I don't know which newspaper you are from, I can guess which country you are from."

The reporter was shocked when he heard Lin Yi's words.

"Mr. reporter, he should be from America, right?"

"How does the Prince know?" The reporter was a little surprised, but he still said: "I am a reporter from the New York Times."

"That makes sense." Lin Yi smiled and nodded, and then continued: "Originally, I could have chosen not to answer such a childish question, but it would not be easy for this journalist to come to Europe. , so I’d better answer it.”

"First of all, I want to answer what is war."

"War, as the name suggests, is the use of violent means to satisfy one's own interests."

"Although I hate to admit it, I have to say that war is indeed a means to quickly achieve an end."

"However, it has to be said that war is also a violent method that can cause a large number of casualties. Therefore, how to reduce casualties in war is a topic that military experts from various countries must face."

"Then, as a participating country in the war, we, Daxia, consider our own people and reduce the casualties caused by the war. Is there any problem?"

"In Daxia, from ancient times to the present, there is a saying that war never tires of deceit. Since Millikin has decided to join the war, why not take care of its own domestic security?"

"Secondly, I noticed that this journalist friend just mentioned the words sneak attack and undeclared war. Here, I would like to correct that Daxia did not launch a sneak attack. Daxia submitted a declaration of war to your country first. Then the attack is carried out.”

"Under such circumstances, there is no such thing as undeclared war."

"In other words, the reason why this friend thinks that Daxia is a sneak attack, then I would like to ask my friends in Milicia, have you ever declared war on the Indians in your homeland?"

"During the U.S.-Mexican War, did a formal declaration of war be submitted to Mexico?"

"Or do our friends in the United States think that something like this can only be done by the United States? Is it shameless for other countries to learn from what the United States has done?"

"If so, is there something too shameless in your country?"

"Finally, I would like to ask, the reason why this reporter friend thinks that Daxia is a sneak attack, it inevitably seems that this friend does not understand the war."

"So, I suggest this friend take the time to read more, and don't pretend to understand and ask ridiculous questions to make countries around the world laugh."

Everyone present wanted to laugh a little after hearing what Lin Yi said.

Especially Gaul and John, the two countries that suffered the most losses in the war, could not blame Bactria.

After all, strictly speaking, the Kingdom of John and the Kingdom of Gaul also had some responsibility for this war, so they had no way to blame others.

Secondly, as Lin Yi said, everyone has declared war, so in order to reduce the casualties on your side, what about a sneak attack on you? Shouldn't this be the case?

Do I have to send you a letter telling you which area I plan to attack next?

If that's the case, it's not war, it's just playing house.

Hearing Lin Yi's words, the reporters present laughed, and this laughter made the American reporter's face become extremely ugly.

And just when Lin Yi felt that this reporter's interview was over and Lin Yi was about to leave, another reporter suddenly spoke.

"Your Majesty the Prince, what do you think of the Hans Empire fighting bloody battles in the European battlefield, while Daxia is frantically encroaching on territory in the Far East?"

"Will the Daxia Empire consider sharing Southeast Asia and the Far East with the Hans Empire?"
