Chapter 1705: 12. The other shore of good and evil (22)

"You call this ‘very simple request’? Your majesty, your sense of humor seems a bit too strong.

"This is not a joke, but a formal bargaining condition."
"Give someone a problematic water and let him drink it. The body is damaged-such a condition may not appear in the official text."
"Really? Dogs need to give dog food, and cats need cat food. Should this be common sense?"
Roland frowned, and after a second, he pressed his fist against his mouth and coughed a few times, refuting:
"However, the Republic does not necessarily have to accept such conditions. If it fails, then all of the nations may stand on the same front as the Republic. The final joint meeting will end without any results. Is it okay? ?"
This is almost a straightforward threat, but Li Lin is not angry because of it.
"If the joint meeting ends in failure, it doesn't matter. The only thing that has an impact is that the nations will later send another Porter to participate in the new joint meeting until a peace-keeping agreement is reached."
That’s right, the nations and empires are not ready to go to war. The main goal of the joint meeting is to reach a series of treaties to restrain the actions of the parties, alleviate conflicts, and strive for a relatively stable window of peace to complete preparations for war. The failure of the joint meeting is unfavorable to all parties. In the face of the fact that no substantive agreement has been reached, the only option for the countries is to change the negotiators and negotiate with the empire on another occasion until peace is reached.
Form a united front with the Republic and advance and retreat together? Those political actuaries haven't shown their brains to this point yet. Even a guy with one or two brain circuits different from ordinary people will not cause trouble.
"People who blaze through the roads and those who pave the road don't necessarily have to be the same talent. When those diplomatic representatives go back empty-handed, or even go with great trouble, those who pretend to be their positions should be very busy and Happiness. The empire doesn’t care about this kind of thing, is it okay for you? It’s really a headache for the republic to evolve into that situation."
It should not be, it must be.
Because the reckless action of the Republic led to the breakup of the meeting, the diplomatic representatives of the countries impeached and attacked for the purpose of personal grievances and evasion of their responsibilities will inevitably attack the Republic; those who fight for the office of diplomatic representatives will not The Republic said good things. On the contrary, in order to highlight their differences from competitors and predecessors, they will also do their utmost to attack the Republic, using this safest way to show their toughness and loyalty to the national interest.
In this context, the Republic will inevitably be caught in a more dangerous international isolation than it is now. When the Empire does not open its mouth, the countries will jump out and request the establishment of a blocking policy against the Republic, and strongly demand that these policies and intentions be implemented into In the agenda of the joint meeting.
I am afraid that the situation cannot be summarized by the word "headache", and it might be more accurate to call it "disaster".
Roland certainly knows this.
"The congresses condemned the republic. That is the responsibility and consequences that the republic should bear. This has nothing to do with the empire. However, when the empire and the countries sit on the negotiating table again, the conditions that were originally reached can still be written into the text intact. ?"
Beautiful counterattack.
Even with Li Lin’s standards, this is enough to refute high scores.
To resume negotiations, the Republic must face pressure, and the empire must also face risks.
Regardless of whether the diplomatic representatives are replaced or not, all the agreements reached before will be reviewed again. In order to disambiguate themselves or show a different new atmosphere, the diplomatic representatives will review all the agreements verbatim and then start protracted discussions and disputes... …The hidden traps of the empire are likely to be exposed in the process, and the chain reaction caused afterwards will be unbearable even for the empire.
Of course, those traps are very deep and clever, and they are not necessarily exposed. However, there is no absolute guarantee that the probability of discovery will be zero.
May or may not, only the actual operation and observation can know the result.
So, is the empire, or emperor, willing to gamble with Roland and the Republic?
Can the Republic not withstand the pressure?
Or did the empire withdraw in the face of risk?
The answer is obvious.
Anyone who knows a little bit about probability and arithmetic knows that this game is an overwhelming disadvantage for the Republic.
Once the situation develops to restart negotiations, the pressure faced by the Republic will be inevitable, and the risks faced by the empire will be uncertain. This is actually a three-way problem. The Republic has no choice, and the Empire has a choice with a probability of half. No matter how you look at it, the empire has a bigger win.
Fifty percent, this number is enough for gamblers to take all risks.
but.
You won't bet.
Roland believed so much.
Do not believe in the possibility, do not believe in others, do not believe in the future Li Lin will never gamble~EbookFREE.me~ True, Li Lin has never tasted defeat, he is a veritable "always undefeated".
On the road he has traveled so far, failure is never allowed. In the realm of the game of power and strategy, failure and destruction are synonymous.
Li Lin always avoids defeat, always walks on the right path, avoids risks and mistakes as much as possible, uses all kinds of means to remove obstacles on the road, and leads the empire to its status today. In this process, he never gambled, and even placed a slight hope on the goodwill or possibility of human nature. He could only rely on his own ability and the understanding and use of malicious humanity to achieve such a complete success.
Roland has no intention to criticize the right or wrong of this path. Judging from his knowledge and insights, there is no better and more reliable choice besides Li Lin to bring the elves who were at the end of the extinction crisis to today's glory.
But there is no trust, no fraternity, and no enthusiasm in this choice.
He had no expectations of human beings and the world. How could he place the future destiny of the world on gambling and human stupidity. On the plan icon that is huge and distant to the limit of human life span and imagination in units of centuries and millennia, a straight line drawn from the present key node towards the future, even if it is only deviated by a few degrees, and The multiplication of huge time units will eventually deviate far from the goal that was carefully set in the beginning.
This state of affairs is absolutely unacceptable to Li Lin.
Since you will not choose gambling, in the current form, the most optimal solution is only-
"Go on, devil."
The emperor, who had been sitting upright, leaned back on the high-back chair, tilting his feet, and the fist in his right hand supported one cheek, and a dangerous smile appeared on his face.
