Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

Soon, a man in clothes and a hat, who wrapped himself tightly, entered Lin Yi's room.

When Lin Yi saw the person coming, he stood up from the sofa and extended his right hand to the person.

"Welcome, Your Excellency, President. Your presence here really makes my place shine." Lin Yi said with a smile.

When Poincaré heard Lin Yi's words, his expression was stunned at first, and then a smile appeared on his face.

"Your Majesty, the Prince, was joking. It's an honor for me to be able to meet His Excellency, the Prince." Poincaré stretched out his right hand and held it tightly with Lin Yi.

"I'm curious, how did the Prince know it was me?" Poincaré took off his hat and scarf.

Fang Zhong on the side quickly took Poincaré's clothes and hung them on the hanger at the door.

Lin Yi smiled and did not speak directly, but extended his hand to ask Poincaré to sit down.

"What would you like to drink, Mr. President?" Lin Yi asked, looking at Poincaré.

"They say Daxia's tea is very good. I wonder if Your Majesty the Prince can let me taste it?" Poincaré also had a smile on his face when he heard Lin Yi's words.

Lin Yi nodded, then motioned for Fang Zhong to make tea.

"Actually, I still want to know how the Prince knew it was me?" Poincaré asked his doubts.

When Lin Yi heard Poincaré's words, he leaned back and then continued: "Actually, it's not difficult to guess."

"This is the Gallic Empire. To be able to come here so quietly, the person must have considerable power in the Gallic Empire."

"And when it comes to power, who can compare to the President?"

"Your Excellency, you are still impressed. Then you might as well guess again, why am I here?" After hearing Lin Yi's words, Poincaré followed Lin Yi's example and leaned his body against the sofa. superior.

"It seems that the President wants to test me." Lin Yi smiled, and then continued: "Actually, you can't guess that the President wants to cooperate with me."

"Oh? Why is the Prince so sure that I want to discuss cooperation with you?" Poincaré asked with interest.

"What is the internal situation of the Gallic Empire now? Your Excellency, the President, knows better than me, an outsider."

"It seems that those people from the consortium have begun to put pressure on the President to establish an independent country."

As Lin Yi spoke, he pushed the newspaper on the side in front of Poincaré.

The bright headline on the front page came into view. Poincaré's eyes twitched as he watched.

Poincaré took a deep breath, and then said to Lin Yi: "So, Your Excellency, do you think an alliance can be reached between our two countries?"

Lin Yi looked at Poincaré, the smile on his face never stopped.

To be honest, since the end of the First World War, Lin Yi felt that the Hans Empire was no longer aligned with Daxia.

The Hans Empire was the victor in World War I. What they planned before the war could no longer satisfy the current Hans Empire.

At this time, the Hans Empire's confidence had swelled to a certain extent, and they would never be satisfied with just southern Africa. They definitely want more.

Moreover, the Hans Empire is absolutely not willing to see Daxia really rise in the east, so the next step, if nothing unexpected, is the battle between the Hans Empire and the Daxia Empire.

Daxia needs an ally to keep an eye on Europe.

So looking at the whole of Europe, apart from the Hans Empire, the only ones that can become allies of Daxia and have sufficient strength are the John Empire and the Gallic Empire.

There are many aspects of competition between Daxia and the John Empire. After all, it was Daxia who personally expelled the forces of the John Empire from Southeast Asia.

They were in Tianzhu, the core area of ​​Asia, and were also surrounded by Daxia.

Therefore, it is unlikely that the Daxia Empire will reach an alliance with the John Empire. After all, there is too much competition between the two sides.

Looking back at the Gallic Empire, it was one of the traditional powers in Europe. Like Daxia, it is an army power.

It is obvious that the strength of the Gallic Empire's army far exceeds that of the navy.

And this also limited the expansion of the Gallic Empire, which could only be carried out close to the mainland. Because they suffered from insufficient long-range delivery capabilities.

Asia, where Bactria is located, is far away from the colonies of the Gallic Empire, and there is no major conflict of interest between the two sides.

To sum up, in cooperation with the Gallic Empire, Daxia will not compete with Gaul in the short term at least. This is something that his empire cannot compare to.

Daxia gained a large amount of land in this war, and the empire needed a relatively stable environment to digest these territories.

A good international environment is very necessary for Daxia.

As a result, Daxia actually had no choice when choosing its European allies.

Thinking of this, the smile on Lin Yi's face grew a little wider.

"Dear President, in matters such as cooperation, it mainly depends on the sincerity and interests of both parties. At present, there is not much conflict of interest between Daxia and Gaul."

"This is a good start. At least we will not have differences over the distribution of benefits."

"But why did the President choose Daxia as an ally? You know, Daxia is still a member of the Allies. Does the President want Daxia to betray the Allies?"

"Your Excellency, don't be so absolute." Poincaré smiled faintly, and then continued: "Your Excellency, there is an old saying in Daxia, which is that everything in the world is for profit."

"There is no absolute friendship between countries, only eternal interests."

"Obviously, after the war, the common interests of Daxia and the Hans Empire will no longer exist. Instead, Daxia will stand on the opposite side of the Hans Empire."

"The Hans Empire will never be satisfied with what they have now, they want more."

"On this point, as neighbors of the Hans Empire, we have more say."

"If Daxia had not made preparations in advance, then Daxia would have fallen into a passive position in the face of the Hans Empire's sudden rebellion."

When Lin Yi heard Poincaré's words, his expression was slightly stunned. He did not expect Poincaré to speak so straightforwardly.

To force Poincaré to speak so bluntly, the actual situation in the Gallic Empire must be more urgent than he knew.

Considering this, Lin Yi also felt that there was no need for him to continue guessing riddles with Poincaré.

After all, cooperation still requires a certain degree of sincerity. If both parties keep guessing at each other, the remaining trust will disappear.

After understanding this, Lin Yi slowly stood up, then extended his right hand to Poincaré, and then said slowly to Poincaré: "Then I wish us a happy cooperation?"
