There are many businessmen in Chu State who are richer than us, but they directly went bankrupt after taking advantage of war bonds."

Businessman Sun Ming nodded in agreement: "What Brother Zhao said is absolutely true. It is indeed much wiser for us, the Song Dynasty, to invest our energy in developing colonies than to blindly participate in the struggle for hegemony.

With the strength of our Song Army's army, if we were to fight for hegemony, we would probably lose all our money.

There is no army in the entire Europe that is weaker than ours.

I really didn't expect that the army cultivated in the industrial era could not defeat the peasant army of Shu.

This is really outrageous. If this thing could happen on the battlefield, it would be enough to make people feel horrified.

Because of this incident, I have been laughed at by people from other European countries."

Businessman Li Hua continued: "Yes, overseas colonies have endless resources and business opportunities. As long as they are managed properly, we, the Song Dynasty, will surely gain huge benefits from them.

Moreover, when Song Dynasty expands overseas, it can avoid direct conflicts with neighboring powers, and the risk is much smaller.

What's more, this time, the imperial court allowed ordinary people like us to participate in the development of colonies.

This is a good opportunity to make a fortune."

Zhao Xingshen shared the same sentiment: "It is precisely this principle that instead of fighting to the death in the struggle for hegemony, it is better to open up new horizons overseas."

Sun Ming's eyes shone: "If the country can successfully develop colonies, I will directly open a store in the colonies."

Li Hua raised his wine glass: "Come, let's wish the Song Dynasty a smooth sailing in its expansion of the colony, and we will also benefit from it and get rich!"

The three of them clinked glasses, full of expectations for the future of Song's colonial expansion.

…

The former King of Wu Qi Gangyi sat in a closed room. He picked up the phone and the call was quickly connected.

King Bai Yuangui of Yue, King Li Fengming of Jin, and King Su Ming of Qi answered the phone almost at the same time.

They discussed the current complicated situation in serious tones.

The former King of Wu, Qi Gangyi, frowned and was the first to break the silence: "Everyone, this situation is becoming more and more confusing now.

Cao Guo has already joined the war, making the war situation even more chaotic.

But no one can predict which country will be unable to restrain itself and join the flames of war in the future.

The current situation is that this war is no longer a matter for the European countries themselves, external forces have been involved."

Qi Gangyi's judgment was actually not very accurate.

Their ally Jin is an external force, but Jin is in conflict with Min, and Min is a European country.

Only then did no one regard Jin as an external force.

Cao Guo's intervention in the European situation marked the beginning of foreign powers' intervention in the European situation.

Jin Wang Li Fengming nodded slightly and agreed: "What King Wu said is absolutely true.

This war continues to this day, with all parties involved in a stalemate and a stalemate. If this continues, it will be of no benefit to our alliance."

The King of Yue, Bai Yuangui, looked deeply and said slowly: "In my opinion, we must make a quick decision, otherwise the longer we delay, the more variables will arise."

King Su Ming of Qi agreed: "Now it's just the end of Cao State. Who knows when the most powerful country in America, Zhao State, will end."

After he said this, his eyes lit up and he said: "Can we invite Zhao to join the alliance?

Once Zhao joins, the alliance will definitely win."

King Bai Yuangui of Yue said in a serious tone: "Such a thing is absolutely impossible.

Our alliance cannot afford to invite Zhao.

The State of Zhao has no interest in the alliance countries, nor does it have any conflict of interest with the Four Nations Alliance.

Both we and the Four Nations Alliance can invite Zhao to join.

Once Zhao Guo has the idea of ​​​​intervening in the situation in Europe, he can definitely win over Zhao Guo at that time."

The King of Yue, Bai Yuangui, had yet to say a word.

If Zhao really joins, which country will control the alliance? Will the four other countries be Zhao's little brothers?

The big brother before the alliance was Wu. As Wu's national power declined, Yue's contribution gradually increased.

The State of Yue is now showing signs of replacing the State of Wu and becoming the new big brother.

Once the State of Zhao is invited to join the game, everything the State of Yue has done before is to make a wedding dress for the State of Zhao.

Wu Wangqi nodded resolutely and continued: "What the King of Yue said is good, but in the current situation, it is not easy to break the deadlock quickly by relying on our own strength alone."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! At this time, Jin Wang Li Fengming's eyes lit up and he proposed a bold idea: "Everyone, I have an idea.

If we can bring Su Meng, King of Liang, into our alliance, we will definitely be able to bring about a turn for the better in this war.

The strength of Liang State is neither strong nor weak, and the geographical location of Liang State is also relatively good.

Once the Liang Kingdom takes action, it can attack the National Day National Day, the most important logistics of the Four Nations Alliance.

Liang State is also rich in oil, and we can buy oil at a relatively cheap price."

After Jin Wang Li Fengming said this, no one on the phone said anything, waiting for Qi Wang Su Ming's answer.

He was the only one among the princes and kings present who would object to Liang King Su Meng joining.

King Su Ming of Qi thought for a while and said: "King Su Meng of Liang is powerful, but his thoughts are elusive. It is not easy to win over him.

This king still welcomes the joining of Liang Kingdom."

He himself had no conflict with Su Meng, King of Liang.

Because of his young age, he did not form a competitive relationship with King Su Meng of Liang.

There was also no conflict between his mother and the concubine of King Su Meng of Liang.

The most critical point is that Liang State is too far away from Qi State, and there is no conflict of interest now.

However, Yue King Bai Yuangui seemed confident: "It is true that Liang King Su Meng's thoughts are unpredictable.

But we can send capable ministers to the Liang Kingdom to lobby, state our interests to him, and promise generous benefits, which may not fail to impress him.

In today's situation, it would be a wise move for him to choose to form an alliance with us.

The Liang Kingdom is in the midst of four wars, how can it possibly remain stable?"

King Wu Qi resolutely crossed his arms and thought for a moment before saying, "This plan of the King of Yue is worth a try.

But we need to carefully select ministers to send envoys, and we need to prepare thoughtful rhetoric and generous conditions for them."

Jin Wang Li Fengming went on to say: "Yes, those who are sent as envoys must be eloquent and thoughtful to ensure that there are no mistakes in the lobbying process.

Once a mistake is made, it may arouse the resentment of King Su Meng of Liang and even turn to the Four Kingdoms Alliance. Then we will fall into an even more unfavorable situation.

We cannot send too many people to prevent the news from leaking and the Four Nations Alliance to rob us."

Bai Yuangui, King of Yue, said: "After we return, we will each select suitable ministers in the court, and then we will discuss specific lobbying strategies together."

All the princes and kings said in unison: "This is very good."

The situation in Europe has changed dramatically, causing the current atmosphere to remain heavy.
