Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

"It's really gratifying that Your Excellency the Prince can think so." Bryce said with a smile.

"Your Excellency, you should be. As a governor of the John Empire in Nanyang, I personally understand Bactria's influence in the East better than the domestic congressmen."

"Furthermore, I have told the domestic congressmen more than once that if we want to stabilize the John Empire's interests in the east, we can only have good relations with Daxia."

"But there are some people who cannot see the reality clearly and think that force can decide everything. You know, the culture of Daxia has influenced the history of the East for thousands of years. How can such a situation be conquered by force?"

Bryce said half-truthfully, and Lin Yi nodded frequently.

Although Lin Yi didn't believe Bryce's words at all, it didn't stop Lin Yi from following his words and sitting back and watching the show.

In Lin Yi's view, there is no good person in the Western countries. The reason why some of them look very kind and seem to do good to you is because they have no chance to exploit you.

And Bryce could naturally see Lin Yi's inner thoughts. As a person who could sneak into the position of governor and even Emperor John could not directly take back his privileges, he had long developed a sharp eye.

What kind of person, he can roughly know his true thoughts just by looking at him.

But even so, Bryce was still talking to himself, because when he came to Lin Yi today, he didn't really want to make any friends with him.

He had only one purpose, and that was to provoke a conflict between Daxia and the Sakura Empire.

"Dear Your Majesty the Prince, there is something I should say as a friend."

Bryce pretended to be deep in thought, tapping his fingers on the table.

"Oh, dear Earl, since you have said that we are friends, then friends should not hide it, right? If you have anything to say, just say it directly."

"Your Majesty the Prince, you also know that I am actually very optimistic about Daxia becoming the leader of the East. However, the Sakura Empire across the sea has risen in recent years and has a certain status in the world."

"In John's country, some people are optimistic about the Sakura Empire and feel that they are a civilized country. I reserve my personal opinion on this."

"However, what I want to say today is not to discuss who is better between the Sakura Empire and Daxia. Rather, I want to tell the prince that the Sakura Empire already knows what happened in the previous battle."

"And they already know that Daxia has a new type of warship." Bryce said slowly.

When Lin Yi heard this, he was about to say something, but was interrupted by Bryce again.

"Your Excellency, I know what you want to say, but I don't care where Daxia obtained the warships from. It's not important. What's important is that those warships are anchored in Jinghai Port, right?"

When Lin Yi saw Bryce saying this, he didn't say anything more and nodded. Just as he thought before, there are many instructors from John State at the Jinghai Port.

Even if he wants to deny it, there is no way to deny it. In this case, it is better to admit it directly. As for asking him where the warship came from, there is no answer.

But how did Lin Yi know that Bryce had long believed that the warships in Lin Yi's hands came from his cousin in Europa, the Hans Empire.

Even if Lin Yi knew, he might acquiesce instead of denying it.

Seeing Lin Yi nodding and admitting that Daxia had battleships, the corners of Bryce's mouth slightly raised. He didn't say anything more. He just showed a winner's smile, as if to tell Lin Yi that he had put all his thoughts into it. Guess it.

"Your Excellency, the Sakura Empire is a naval power. He may not be able to allow a navy stronger than his in this region of the East."

"So, Your Excellency Prince, you must be careful about your neighbors." Bryce said meaningfully.

"Huh?" Lin Yi pretended to be surprised. He looked at Bryce and asked, "Lord Earl, do you mean that the Sakura Empire will declare war on me, Daxia?"

"No, no, no, Your Majesty the Prince, I think you have misunderstood. I did not say that the Sakura Empire would declare war on Daxia. I just said, be careful."

"In addition, I believe that every civilized country is unwilling to have a war, because behind every war, families are broken, isn't it?"

After saying this, Bryce picked up the coffee cup on the table and took a slow sip.

Lin Yi, on the other hand, rolled his eyes at Bryce while he was drinking coffee.

There is not even a civilized country that is unwilling to have a war? These days, damn it, you, John, are provoking wars all over the world! What a damn double standard!

However, Lin Yi couldn't say this directly, because the purpose of coming here today has not been achieved yet.

"Yes, yes, civilized countries don't like war. I wholeheartedly agree." Lin Yi nodded, then looked at Bryce and asked again.

"But, having said that, Lord Earl, if one day something regrettable happens between me, Daxia, and the Sakura Empire, I want to know how the John Empire will deal with it?"

"I understand what you mean, Your Majesty the Prince. But what I can say is that if the day comes, I, the John Empire, have no intention of getting involved in this meaningless war."

"Your Excellency, the Prince, also knows that now the whole world, I don't know when, is filled with a kind of hostility."

"In the east, Bactria and the Sakura Empire are all competing for the title of leader of the east, and the same is true in Europa."

"Therefore, the Parliament of John's Empire has decided that it will no longer actively intervene in wars in other regions and will try its best to safeguard the empire's interests in Europe."

"Oh, speaking of this, I want to suddenly think of something. According to Ryan and the others after they came back, they told me that the Prince's team has a new type of weapon. I don't know whether this weapon can be used by the Prince. Let me meet you?" Bryce looked at Lin Yi and asked.

When Lin Yi heard Bryce's words, he secretly thought that he was lucky.

Because he found that he had overlooked this point before, he did not hide Maxim's existence too much in post-processing.

It wasn't until he received Bryce's invitation that he thought that one of the biggest killers in his first legion was Maxim.

This kind of heavy machine gun, no matter how advanced it is, it is actually not that advanced. According to Lin Yi's guess, even without himself, Maxim will be available in a few years at most.

But what is different from his previous life is that Maxim has been ignored since his birth. It was not until the beginning of World War I, or to be more precise, until the beginning of the Battle of Verdun, that Maxim showed his prowess.
