Thinking of Sir Castis and Uncle Logan, who were no longer alive, Qiao An felt a sorrow in his heart, and at the same time he couldn't help but confided to His Majesty Roland the many worrying impulses that had accumulated in his heart over the years.
"Your Majesty, I have also worked hard to promote the great cause of national integration in the New World. The people I am referring to are not just the yellow-skinned Asa natives and white colonists from the old world, but also include trafficked from tropical islands. In the colonies, black slaves who were forced to wear fetters and worked in plantations and mines."
"However, the two pioneers who led our cause, Lord Castis and Logan Walsung, were killed by the curse of the disease and the evil god, and the other sacrificed in the colonial army to suppress the aboriginal resistance. This has dealt a heavy blow to our career. Since then, it has fallen into a low ebb, and even myself has become pessimistic and depressed, and even lost the direction of life for a while."
Roland put away his smile, reached out and patted the young mage on the shoulder, sincere sympathy appeared in his eyes.
"Dr. Vader, the ancestors who fought on the front line will always fall. At this time, young people must stand up, take the banner in the hands of the martyrs, and have the courage to shoulder the responsibilities of the new generation of leaders, so that they can be passed on. , The struggle continues until the ideal is realized, and this is exactly the responsibility you need to take on!"
"Your Majesty, I understand what you are saying, but I can't do it." Qiao An sighed bitterly. "Not everyone has the same ability as you to be a leader. I don't have that kind of talent, so I can barely do it. It would only make a joke and torture myself very painfully. If I have to do something, I can only do it alone. Let me lead an organization to coordinate and balance the interests of all parties. This is too difficult for me. "
"Yes, there is a specialization in the surgery industry, no one is really omnipotent." Roland nodded slightly in agreement, "Dr. Vader, forget what I just said, don't put more pressure on yourself, your nerves are too tense. Tight, it will collapse sooner or later."
Qiao An smiled gratefully, and said sincerely: "What I can't do is exactly what you do best. With your prestige and authority, you may be able to help the New World quell the war in the near future, and all ethnic groups will get it. Emancipate, enjoy freedom, and live together as equals."
"It's not easy..." His Majesty the Emperor smiled bitterly.
Qiao An calmed his mind, then inquired about the news for the old man Franklin.
"There are rumours that your Majesty dislikes the slavery system in the colonies, and disdains dealing with hypocrites who preach ‘freedom and equality’ in power in the Continental Congress, but dominate their own black slaves. Is that true?"
"Haha! Frankly speaking, I personally do not approve of the slavery system implemented in the colonies of the New World. It is not only immoral, against human nature, but also an inefficient and wasteful economic model."
"But I am not going to interfere in government decision-making because of my personal likes and dislikes. The gossip makes me feel like a tyrant, a great dictator. If I really have so much power, the guys who chase rumors and spread rumors will not be afraid that I will take them all. Catch it and send it to prison?"
His Majesty the Emperor shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, pretending to be pitiful and aggrieved, almost making Qiao An laugh.
"Dr. Vader, in fact, the Far Eastern government is still unwilling to publicly express its position on the "War of Independence" in the New World. It has little to do with my personal position, mainly because of three concerns.
Roland picked up the meerschaum pipe on the tea table and sniffed it, then put it down again.
Qiao An had actually noticed the little quirk of His Majesty the Emperor-he claimed that he did not smoke, but from time to time he picked up the old pipe that was yellowed by tobacco and played with it. It seemed that it was a souvenir of great significance.
Of course, he was embarrassed to inquire about such private trivial matters face to face, and withdrew his thoughts to listen to His Majesty's statement of the diplomatic position of the Far Eastern Government.
"First of all, to support the colonial independence movement will inevitably offend the powerful Feizhen Kingdom. With our current strength, especially the navy, we cannot compete with the Royal Fleet of the'Sun Never Set Empire' unless there are practical reasons, plus Sufficient benefits, otherwise it will be difficult for us to convince the people to support the Kingdom of Feizhen as an enemy."
"Secondly, the old colonial empire in the world of Vares is more than one of the Feizhen Kingdoms. The Kingdoms of Aquamarine, the Kingdom of Pashua and the old rivals of the Far East, the Holy Ashen Empire, also occupy large overseas colonies, all of which belong to the current international system. Vested interests."
"If our government openly supports the independence movement in the New World, and supports the colonial people to seek liberation through armed resistance, wouldn't it all of a sudden offend all the four old colonial empires and become the ‘nails’ of the imperialist powers?"
Qiao An nodded and agreed with His Majesty Roland's concerns.
Judging from the information learned from the old man Franklin, the Far East Cabinet, especially the bureaucrats of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, are most worried about the second hidden danger.
As His Majesty Roland said frankly, it has only been a few years since the founding of the Far East. The foundations are too shallow to challenge the four established powers at the same time. Therefore, before the governments of Hailan, Yashan, and Baoshua have established their attitudes towards the War of Independence, Wan Don't act rashly.
In fact, the Canaanites, an ally of the Far Easterners, also have this kind of vacillating mentality. They are also watching the wind and waiting for the opportunity.
But having said that, Qiao An understands the difficulties of the Far East government, which does not mean giving up efforts to obtain aid. After all, he came with a political mission explained by the old man Franklin, and his must sit on the side of the folks in the New World.
The two concerns raised by His Majesty Roland, Qiao An had discussed with the old man Franklin this morning, and the wording of the response was prepared in advance.
"Your Majesty, of course you know that the powers that promote colonial expansionism are not monolithic and united."
"As far as I know, countries such as Yashan, Hailan, and Baoshua have conflicts of interest with the Feizhen Kingdom, especially in the process of dividing up the global colony. The old powers have been in conflict and have deep grievances."
"Leave aside, since this century, Yashan, Hailan, and Baoshua have been bullied by the Feizhen Kingdom. Instead of worrying about them acting as Feizhen’s thugs and safeguarding the current international colonial system, I think these three The country is more willing to fall into the trap, looking for opportunities to pull the Feizhen Kingdom from the throne of the world's largest colonial power."
"Dr. Vader's analysis is very insightful. The contradictions between the established powers can indeed be used by us. However, this is a risky move and should not be rushed."
Roland picked up the tea cup and sipped slowly, the implication was already obvious.
Qiao Ann stopped there with interest and changed the subject.
