A group of people looked at each other.

Looking at Liu Shilang's expression, he is very confident?

What is he going to do?

Liu Zheng smiled slightly.

If you can't even handle this group of people, do you still have the nerve to be the chief assistant?

A group of people surrounded Liu Zheng and left the House of Lords.

The people at the door saw that these people finally came out. When they saw that Liu Zheng had become the leader of this group of people, their expressions changed.

This time, Liu Shilang directly upgraded Liu Shoufu!

What should I do?

"What a sin!"

"Such a thief has no virtue whatsoever!"

"The Sorrow of Dragon Flame, the Sorrow of Dragon Flame!"

Each of these people started their own performances, beating their chests and feet, becoming angry and heartbroken, and some of them had already started to bang their heads against the wall...

Du Qi Du Wei continued to the realm and stopped those people who had lost their minds.

Liu Zheng stood on the high platform and looked around.

The people below looked at him with stern expressions and cursed him endlessly.

If looks could kill, Liu Zheng would probably have died more than a dozen times now.

He smiled lightly and looked around.

When the scoldings of these people gradually stopped, the content they cursed again was shameless and shameless...

"Can't you figure it out?"

Liu Zheng smiled slightly.

Speaking of which, as his status became higher and higher, and his official position became higher and higher, he had really lost the opportunity to openly confront so many people.

I miss it a bit...

Can't you figure it out? It aroused everyone's expression.

"Thieves who are disrupting the country!"

"You are so bold!"

"What have you done to the whole Long Yan!"

"The Sorrow of Dragon Flame, the Sorrow of Dragon Flame!"

A group of people wanted to rush up and skin Liu Zheng and eat his flesh.

The situation in the northwest war is so pessimistic.

The interior of Longyan was in chaos.

Everyone believes that at this time, Long Yan should strive for stability instead of messing around! Why is it a constitutional monarchy, a redistribution of territory, simplified Chinese characters, and these and other things...

toss!

This is all nonsense!

They don't understand because they don't have enough vision.

Liu Zheng had actually long thought about having such a confrontation and giving such a speech.

Today, those who come here are all people from all walks of life, men, women, old and young.

The atmosphere in Longyan recently has been dominated by various disagreements.

These people also represent the entire Long Yan, all walks of life from top to bottom. Once these people are dealt with, the ideology of this society will be stable.

"How can you figure it out!"

"Such dragon flames are unsightly, unbearable to behold!"

"Shilang Liu, you need to give the late emperor an explanation!"

"good!"

Liu Zheng chuckled: "Then I, Liu Zheng, will bring the new cabinet today to give everyone an explanation! I will give an explanation to Long Yan!"

The whole place was silent.

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, is that really the case?

OK!

I want to see what you, Mr. Liu, are going to say!

In this hot summer, everyone was staring at Liu Zheng like this.

Liu Zheng laughed and said loudly: "Today, Liu Zheng doesn't want to popularize to everyone what constitutional monarchy is, why we should promote simplified Chinese characters, and he doesn't even bother to tell you what to do about redistributing territories! Naturally, the northwest war situation has fallen into a quagmire, and Liu Zheng also Don’t want to explain too much…”

As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar.

Everyone's expressions became ugly again.

Good guy.

Co-authored an issue that everyone is concerned about, but you don’t explain it! Then why did you come out to explain!

Liu Zheng smiled slightly and his voice became calmer, but what he said directly touched people's hearts.

"I……"

"Liu Zheng has never had any thoughts of fighting for power, never had any thoughts of usurping power, and has never had any thoughts of treason and disobedience! Heaven and earth can learn from this! Ever since Liu Zheng left Liangzhou, he has put the world first and the people first! This has been the case in the past, and it will be more so in the future. So true!”

This was said with great force.

Everyone present scoffed.

If it is said that the former Liu Zheng was indeed a sage in the world, it is absolutely impossible to say! But today's Liu Zheng, since he came to power, has started all kinds of sexy and mysterious operations.

There are no such people in the history of China.

For example, Wang Mang of the Han Dynasty...

Before usurping the throne, Corporal Li Xian was well-known. Everyone thought that he was the proud son of heaven and the emperor descended to earth.

However, when he came to power, he seemed to be a completely different person... Of course, Wang Mang was not a fool, but many of his policies were too advanced and unacceptable. Not to mention those powerful people, it makes it difficult for the people to accept it.

Liu Zheng now, in their eyes, is just like Wang Mang...

radical.

So radical!

Liu Zheng naturally knew what these people were thinking, so he simply sat down on the steps and continued to ask: "Do you think I, Liu Zheng, am radical?"

"Huh? Radical?"

He waved his hand, and Jiang Xuan took out a few brothers and took out the world map again.

These people have never seen this thing before.

There was a lot of discussion, and everyone was shocked when they learned that this was actually a world map.

Liu Zheng pointed at the land of Britain and said fiercely: "You are all well-known figures in Long Yan, and you have also used the new gadgets from the West. Don't you all know the name of Britain?"

Britain!

The most powerful country in the West!

Everyone in Beijing naturally knows that now that Long Yan is opening up the country, many imported products from the West are sought after by Long Yan's powerful people. Who doesn't know the name of Britain?

"What?"

"Britain is such a small place?"

"This...isn't this not as big as Liangzhou like us?"

"Impossible, Britain is a big country!"

People didn't believe it.

Liu Zheng chuckled: "Yes, Liu Zheng guaranteed it with his life, this is Britain! As you know, Britain is the maritime hegemon! It is such a small place, and their navy dominates the entire world! Here, here, including here, They have all become their colonies!”

He pointed to America and Africa.

Everyone's expressions changed drastically.

That large piece of colony is astonishing to see.

How can it be!

How could such a small and wild country be able to colonize such a large place? In Long Yan's traditional concept, this is simply impossible to achieve!

Liu Zheng sighed: "The truth is so cruel... Colleagues, times have changed! Times have changed! War has changed! The world has changed! Britain's Industrial Revolution has now caught up with our Liaodong Industrial Revolution! There is even the possibility of transcendence! Why?”

Everyone was silent.

"Why?"

Liu Zheng shouted: "Let me tell you! There is no other reason, it is precisely because of the limitations of our system!"

“Precisely because we don’t have a constitutional monarchy!”

"It's precisely because we can't let go!"

"It's precisely because we don't realize the power of capital!"

"Our traditional concern that more people will inevitably defeat less people has changed!"

"So……"

"If we don't change, we will fall behind, and if we fall behind, we will be beaten!"

"Everyone... tell me, am I radical?"

Liu Zheng roared so hard that his saliva flew everywhere.

The whole place was silent.

Silence fell.

All this time, Liu Zheng has not bothered to explain all this to these people with limited vision. But today, he couldn't help it anymore.

He doesn’t want to be criticized by others anymore…

I used to be extremely busy, but it's different now.

He has just become the Prime Minister, and he needs to show his stuff, not only to his colleagues in the cabinet, the House of Lords, and the House of Commons, but also to all walks of life.

"However, a constitutional monarchy may not be suitable for our national conditions!"

"Simplified Chinese, isn't it a culture of castration!"

"How to explain the northwest war situation?"

These people were naturally not here to listen to Liu Zheng's chicken blood, and they still refused to let Liu Zheng go.

Liu Zheng chuckled: "My compatriots, you still haven't seen the essence of the matter. Why did Britain rise? The Industrial Revolution and the establishment of a constitutional monarchy were indispensable. However, maritime hegemony is the magic weapon for them to plunder resources and wealth! Sea power! Maritime power! hegemony!"

"What we, Long Yan, are going to fight for next is sea power! Not the temporary gains and losses in the northwest battle!"

"Everyone, please take a look!"

He continued to point his finger at the entire territory of Tsarist Russia.

Everyone took a deep breath.

The territory of Tsarist Russia is already very large, but what they don't know is that Tsarist Russia will be even bigger in the future. Catherine II's crazy expansion was at the peak of Tsarist Russia at that time.

But now, it is indeed no longer small.

Liu Zheng smiled coldly and drew on the map with his hand.

"Fellow compatriots, why has Tsarist Russia been at war all these years?"

"Why have you been fighting Osman? Are you fighting with all your strength?"

"It's simple! They want a frost-free port!"

“They want an ice-free port to Europe!”

"This is the Black Sea!"

"The Black Sea is the gateway to Europe! Therefore, Crimea is a must-win place for Tsarist Russia, and it is also a place that they compete with the Ottomans all year round!"

People, keep listening.

Liu Zheng drew several circles on the map.

These are the several ice-free ports in Tsarist Russia today. One is the Sochi Port in Komibia. This is the best ice-free port in Tsarist Russia and the most direct access to the Black Sea. However, the Ottomans will not be so easy and let Tsarist Russia always control it. Stay here. Then there is the Port of Murmansk, the Port of Vladivostok, and the Port of St. Petersburg... However, the Port of St. Petersburg is greatly restricted by European countries, and the Port of Vladivostok is too remote...

The Port of Cullmans is closer to the interior of Tsarist Russia...

Overall, the four ice-free ports in Tsarist Russia all have their own advantages and disadvantages.

so……

If Tsarist Russia wanted to expand its territory rapidly, several ice-free ports would be very important.

One, is the port of Sochi leading to Europe.

Second, it is Vladivostok leading to Asia. It can also be understood as Sakhalin Island, which is currently having a dispute with Long Yan. This is almost a matter of one direction...

"ah!"

"this……"

"Shilang Liu, no, what Liu Shouxu means is..."

Many people in this group exclaimed in surprise.

Liu Zheng chuckled: "That's right. If Tsarist Russia devotes most of its troops to Sakhalin Island, that's what Long Yan needs to be on guard about. However, investing such a large number of troops in the Western Region will only make them sink into trouble. , and the profit is very small!”

The scene suddenly fell silent.

Everyone started to think about it.

yes……

If this is the case, then what exactly is Tsarist Russia trying to do?

Invade Longyan?

This is obviously impossible...

As the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, not to mention the current Longyan. However, in the period of rapid development opportunities, it is even more difficult to really invade Longyan.

"Shilang Liu means..."

"We put them in on purpose!"

"this……"

A group of people were shocked.

Liu Zheng nodded: "As I said just now, our most important thing now is maritime hegemony!"

"Sakhalin, Vladivostok!"

"As long as we hold these two places firmly in our hands, we can block the entire Tsarist Russia in the Arctic! Slowly torture!"

"And we, Long Yan, can build our first island chain in the Asia-Pacific region!"

The first island chain!

This concept was finally brought up for the first time.

This time, it was not only the people making trouble who were shocked, but also the people in the cabinet and the House of Lords.
