Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

"My Lord Duke, you can't say that. God won't have the heart to take you away from me."

"The Hans Empire needs you, and I need you too, Lord Duke." William II looked at Bismarck and said solemnly.

"Dear William, you are an adult now and you should understand that no one can escape death. No matter who this person is or what he has done."

"My life has been worthwhile. I helped the Hans Empire get back on the road to recovery. We defeated the proud Gauls, Austro-Hungarians, and Johns!"

"Besides, I leave everything I can teach you to you. Now let me teach you the last lesson." Bismarck looked at William II.

"Dear Duke, you say it, I'm listening." William II looked at Bismarck.

"Dear William, although the Daxia people want to use our power to complete their status in the east."

"Although they have selfish motives, this does not prevent us from being friendly with them, because as long as they want to gain rights, they will inevitably have conflicts with John and Gaul."

"Whether they are willing or not, this cannot be changed, and our Hans Empire's interests in the east are very small, so small that they can be ignored."

"However, this means that our Hans Empire can choose to help them for no reason. Therefore, our Hans Empire can fund them and support them in regaining everything they deserve in the east."

"But we must also be careful not to become a gun in the hands of Daxia people."

"Dear William, please remember my words, our Hans Empire can make good friends with Daxia, but it cannot provide us with the most advanced technology and equipment."

"Some equipment that is about to be eliminated can be sold to Daxia. Even these items that are about to be eliminated are still good things in the East."

"Second point, we must not sign a military alliance with Daxia, otherwise they will take the lead in the east to break out conflicts with John and Gaul, or break out a war with the Sakura Empire, which will also drag our Hans Empire into the quagmire."

Bismarck seems to be really old. Just after saying this sentence, he seemed to be breathing a little.

"I understand, your esteemed Duke, but I think it is more important that you need to rest than what is happening in the summer." After hearing Bismarck's words, William II nodded first, and then advised him to rest.

After saying this, William waved to his attendants and asked them to carry Bismarck back to his manor without waiting for Bismarck to answer.

After sending Bismarck away, William II also carefully recalled Bismarck's words.

After a long time, William II slowly picked up the pen and wrote something on a piece of paper.

"Stermanin!" William II shouted towards the door.

"Your Majesty, I am here."

I saw a tall, handsome guy with blond hair and blue eyes, [-] meters tall, appearing at William's door.

"Send this letter to Leinster in the form of a telegram, telling him that he has been promoted and is the plenipotentiary ambassador of the Hans Empire to the Great Xia Empire, so that he can start contacting the people of Great Xia."

William raised the letter in his hand.

"As you command, my Majesty." Upon hearing William's words, Steman walked directly in front of him, took the letter, and turned around to leave.

At this time, in the far east, the Imperial Capital.

"Brother, it's been so many days, why is there still no news?" Zhao He said anxiously.

"Brother Xie, you have to be calm. This kind of matter related to the future of the two countries is unlikely to be resolved in a short period of time."

"At this time, no result is the best result." Lin Yi put down the brush in his hand and looked at his handwriting with satisfaction.

"Brother, your handwriting is getting better and better. However, I don't quite understand, what does it mean that there is no result, but a good result?" Zhao He looked at Lin Yi's handwriting, and then asked in confusion.

"It's very simple. The lack of results means that after the Hans Empire received the news, they did not reject it immediately. This means that our request has not yet touched their bottom line. Everything can still be discussed."

"There is no news right now. It is very likely that the Hans Empire is still negotiating to see how to deal with the conditions we have proposed."

"Just wait patiently."

After saying this, Lin Yi unfolded a new piece of rice paper and prepared to continue practicing calligraphy.

"So that's it...Brother, you know so much. No wonder my father asked me to learn more from you." Zhao He said to Lin Yi with a smile.

"By the way, brother, there is actually one more thing I haven't figured out. Why did you take the initiative to form an alliance with the Hans Empire that day?"

"Aren't you saying that the Hans Empire is now incompatible with the John Empire?"

"Will our alliance with the Hans Empire irritate the other party? If the Hans Empire declares war with the John Empire, will we also declare war?"

Zhao He was puzzled. He had been thinking about this issue for several days and still couldn't figure out why Lin Yi did this.

"Brother Xie, you are still too careful. In our original plan, we originally included going to war with the John Empire and regaining the territory that they forcibly removed."

"So, it doesn't really mean much whether we form an alliance with the Hans Empire or not."

"Another point, what can they do if they know it? Do they dare to indulge Europa's interests and send their local forces to Daxia?"

"If they do this, then I'm sure that within a month, the Hans Empire will declare war on John's country."

"The only one who can't look at both ends at that time is the John Empire. They can only lose faster."

"So, even if John Empire knows about it, it will only condemn him. And will condemnation make me lose a piece of meat?" Lin Yi looked at Zhao He and said slowly.

"Um...brother, what you said makes sense." Zhao He thought for a while and it seemed that the situation was indeed as Lin Yi said.

"Besides, who told you that you can't unilaterally break the contract after signing it?" After saying this, Lin Yi slowly raised his head and looked at Zhao He.

"Brother Xie, let me teach you another lesson. In this world, there is no eternal friendship, only eternal interests."

"Throughout the ages, many facts have proven that there are no hard-core allies, and some are just for their own interests. Only interests are eternal."

"Don't look at us taking the initiative to sign a contract with the Hans Empire now, but once the critical moment comes, I can decisively abandon the Hans Empire as an ally."

"I think the Hans Empire, if there is enough interest, they will do the same. They will even step in."

"Brother Xi, as the heir to the empire, you must not listen to those harsh words and behave like a woman." Lin Yi looked at Zhao Xi and said seriously.
