"It's not just this assassination... it's not just an assassination!" Xiang Ying picked up the remaining half bottle of spirits on the table, raised his head and took a big sip.
"The assassination was just a prelude. The master's reason for killing me was that I was trying to commit genocide. I was ignorant of politics. He said that we are all crazy lunatics... lunatics, hehehe, we are all lunatics!"
"Stop drinking!" Cai Bixia snatched away the wine bottle and threw it into the trash can and said angrily, "Isn't this unreasonable? Isn't this unreasonable?"
"Is it a matter or a person? Can people be punished for unfounded charges?"
Cai Bixia threw a towel into the basin and poured half a basin of cold water. "It's all excuses, excuses! An attempt to commit genocide? When did we massacre the Manchus? Aren't we allowed to think about it in our hearts? Just think about it. Is that considered a crime?”
"If you say you don't understand politics, how can you count it as understanding politics? Does the policy of appeasement count as understanding politics? When did pretending to be a grandson become someone who understands the overall situation? How can there be such an unreasonable person in the world!"
Women will still mindlessly choose to support their men at critical moments. She threw the cold towel on Xiang Ying's face, and then wiped it back and forth vigorously.
"You also have a bad temper. I tried to persuade you before, telling you to be low-key and patient, and telling you not to make so many messes, but do you listen?"
"As long as you listened to my advice, you wouldn't have done something as stupid as assassination. Do you regret it now? How old are you and me? Youth is our political capital. Being patient and accumulating strength is the right way. You still Do you want to stand out in front of the master?"
For the first time, Xiang Ying felt that Cai Bixia's nagging was not so harsh. The cold towel made his consciousness clearer. The young man was still in good health, and soon he gradually woke up from his hangover.
"I regret it, I really regret it... I should have discussed it with you earlier, I should have listened to you!"
"It's too late to say anything now. You just have to cheer up for now. You still have a chance. Because we are young, we will definitely have a chance..."
Listening to Cai Bixia's encouragement, Xiang Ying's eyes no longer had the same confidence as in the past, but instead contained a lot of confusion. Cai Bixia knew that this incident had hit him too hard, and he would not fully recover until he fully recovered. His faith is not enough.
Thinking of this, Cai Bixia poured a cup of hot food for Xiang Ying, "Don't think about these things first. I'll tell you what happened outside in the past two days. I still need you to analyze many things!"
While waiting for Xiang Ying to drink tea, Cai Bixia described in detail the conflicts caused by the land purchase in Mauritius. Finally, she said to her man in a searching tone.
"How many people now can't figure out the tactics of the head of state? Is there any strategic intention in this move? I have never been able to figure it out. Even the British can't figure it out. Please drink tea quickly and analyze it carefully for me! "
This is a smart woman. Cai Bixia will not be like a housewife who only knows how to persuade men to cheer up. She will find a way. She knows that if she wants to restore Xiang Ying's confidence, she must start at the root of the disease.
Didn't the head of state say that Xiang Ying has no strategic vision and political skills? Let me start from this point to give you confidence.
As expected, Xiang Ying had forgotten his negative emotions just halfway through listening. His brain was completely devoted to analysis, and he even unfolded a topographic map of the Indian Ocean.
"Yeah! Yeah! It's interesting... In fact, the master's strategic intention is not difficult to understand. Outsiders don't understand what's going on. That's because they don't understand the way and angle of the head of state thinking about problems!"
"Look at the map. The island of Mauritius hangs alone in the southern Indian Ocean. It is relatively close to Madagascar in Africa, so most people will think that this is a tentative chess piece for the head of state to reach out to Africa!"
"Africa is an undeveloped and wild land. The head of state has said many times in small classes that the African continent is extremely rich in mineral resources, and most of them have not been explored, so the potential is huge!"
"But Africa has been divided by Western forces, and there is no room for us to intervene. At this time, we can only slowly build an enclave in Mauritius, and first use mild commercial trade to penetrate it!"
"Haha, but this is just the surface of the head of state. He just hopes that Westerners will think like this. But the real intention of the head of state is not the land west of Mauritius, but the land east of Mauritius!"
"The East?" Cai Bixia glanced at the vast Indian Ocean, "But the East is the vast sea! There are even very few islands..."
"You are wrong. There is a big island to the east of Mauritius... Australia?"
"Oh my God! How is this possible?" Cai Bixia couldn't believe her eyes. She didn't blame anyone for not thinking that Xiao Letian's intention was Australia.
"Here... the straight-line distance here must be more than three thousand kilometers, right? Can this be controlled to Australia? Are you kidding me?"
"No! This is not a joke. This is the depth of the head of state. I can guess some clues about this huge strategic plan, but I can't explain the details..."
"Let me tell you this, once Mauritius has a foothold for our Chinese people, then the opportunity will come. The head of state will soon immigrate there. Currently, there are less than 200,000 people in Mauritius. This population is very small. It can be easily diluted by us!"
"As long as the number of Chinese immigrants reaches 100,000, we will become the largest ethnic group here. With the construction skills of our Chinese people, this island will definitely become rich, and trade routes will naturally be opened up by then. !”
"This is a very critical point. The first priority for the president is this trade route, because it is a very effective means to solve the dilemma of Malacca!"
"If you look at it again, current international east-west trade basically takes the Arabian Sea, India, Sri Lanka, and the Strait of Malacca. This is the northern route of the Indian Ocean..."
"And what about the south? Due to geographical reasons, there is not a single route, not even one!"
"If Mauritius develops, then there will be a southern route in the Indian Ocean. It may not be too prosperous, but this route is definitely a breakthrough attempt!"
"Our merchant ships sail from Mauritius and will go along this route...Mauritius, Rodrigues Islands, Diego Garcia, Cocos Islands, Christmas Island...and then go directly to Java!"
"Sunda Strait! Remember, by taking this route we can bypass the Strait of Malacca and enter the South China Sea through the Sunda Strait, or go a little further east and enter the South China Sea from the Java Islands!"
"This is the purpose of the southern route. It is to break the European blockade of Malacca!"
"Not only that, this line also has another layer of military purpose!"
Note: Hidden Dragon has written more than six million words so far. It is a relatively rare long novel in the historical genre. However, Hidden Dragon has not yet reached the final stage. The plan for this book should be more than 10 million words. The goal is difficult, but I still want to try it.
At this stage of writing, the reactions from book friends are mixed. Some say it is good and some say it is bad. I can’t hold my tail in the face of praise, because I know that this book is not perfect. In fact, there are still many shortcomings.
In the face of criticism, Xinjing can face it calmly. After all, it is difficult to agree with others. Some people like to eat salty tofu, while others like to eat sweet. There is no way around it. Everyone has their own rights.
But no matter whether it is good or bad, online articles have their own unique features. Internet articles are different from physical books. Physical books are written by the author at home. After finishing the book with tens of thousands of words, he then edits, edits, and finally prints and publishes it.
This is not the case with online articles. The serial form of online articles itself has advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that it can get feedback from readers every day, and then the author can adjust the plot appropriately.
The disadvantage is that the writing cycle is too long, and the update pressure is too great.
Take Hidden Dragon as an example. The first chapter was uploaded on September 15, 2014. It has been more than three years since I wrote it. For three years, I had to upload every day without a day's rest and code every day. There is no break even during the Spring Festival.
This has its drawbacks. After three years of long-term code writing, who can guarantee that every day will be full of energy, every day will be safe, and every day will be full of literary thoughts?
Who can guarantee that? Anyway, I am a mortal, not a god!
Sometimes you are overwhelmed with chores, sometimes you are physically sick, sometimes you are in an extremely bad mood. These situations all exist, and it is normal.
This has caused certain fluctuations in the quality of the book Hidden Dragon. At some stages, the writing is very enjoyable, and at other times, the writing is bland and tasteless.
Alas... the book Hidden Dragon is not perfect. Don't use the standard of perfection to ask for a pure heart. It really can't be achieved!
If you are satisfied with it, please give me a compliment. I was able to enjoy myself for three days. If you are dissatisfied with it and have some objections, please ask me to think of ways to modify it.
If you feel that the plot is a bit slow, please leave a message directly saying 'The plot is a bit slow, we need to speed it up! 'As soon as I read it, I will naturally revise the outline to see where I can delete it and where I can adjust it.
If you feel there are too few updates, you can also leave a message directly. "There are too few updates recently, please add more updates!" 'That's okay. I'll squeeze in more time and write a few more chapters.
But don’t start scolding me as soon as you come up? I haven’t said a word to you in three years, and then you start to curse me when I come up to try to make you feel cold? This is a bit unkind!
To be honest, among the historical novels on the Internet, there seems to be no 10 million-word novel. If Hidden Dragon can really reach this point, it will be considered a small miracle.
Book friends who have followed Yinlong all the way, please be more tolerant and understanding, forgive Xinjing for his lack of ability, and forgive this book for not being so perfect...
Recommend it to your friends, check out the genuine version and support it. Thank you very much.
If one day Hidden Dragon reaches tens of millions of words and becomes somewhat famous in the online literature industry, then you can naturally pat your chest and say to others, 'I was the one who came up with this book back then! '
How proud you are, don't say when the time comes, 'I scolded this book every day, why is this idiot still famous? 'This is quite boring.
6.12 million words! The road is full of blue rays! After working hard, my hair turned white!
It’s not easy to code, so please bear with me!
Will update another chapter soon!
