"Brother, when did you go?" Su Yu put down his wine glass and asked anxiously.
"I guess you've arrived in Yanjing, what's wrong?"
Su Yuanzhong saw Su Yu's expression and said, "The imperial court will not take action against your eldest brother. He still has scruples about us governors and does not dare to cross the bottom line. Otherwise, if several major governors join forces, the imperial court will not be able to suppress it, and the world will be destroyed." There will be chaos.”
"Dad, do you know how many new troops the imperial court has trained?"
"You really think your father's intelligence system is a loser," Su Yuanzhong put down his chopsticks and said, "In recent years, the imperial court has vigorously developed the construction of the new army. Marshal Zeng Tianle is the commander of the new army, forming 39 armies with a total strength of 1.11 million.”
"The imperial court spent 120 million silver dollars to establish the new army, more than half of which was used to purchase arms and supplies. It also expanded the Yanjing Arsenal more than seven times, and the overall strength has risen to a higher level."
"Why!"
Su Yuanzhong sighed as he spoke, "I thought the end of the imperial court had come, but unexpectedly another Qilin talent appeared.
What our major military governors are waiting for is an opportunity. This opportunity is the death of Zeng Tianle. Once Zeng Tianle dies, the court will have no general in charge of the military department. We can slowly figure it out. Unexpectedly, it is not as good as God. This dog emperor was born. A Qilin talented man who stabilized the collapse of the imperial court. "
"The foundation of the imperial court is there. None of us governors dare to fire the first shot. It is said that the first shot will strike the first bird. Anyone who fires the first shot will become a stepping stone for others and the main target of the imperial court."
"This was also seen through by the imperial court and the cabinet, so the imperial court tried to induce us, which made our major military governors' offices not get along, which gave the imperial court a chance to breathe." Su Yuanzhong sighed again and said, "The imperial court's checks and balances , it can be said that the game is played to its peak.”
"But our major governor's offices are not easy to mess with. If they dare to kill the direct descendants of each major governor's office, then it will naturally cause a group attack, so the court will not be so stupid. Your eldest brother will be fine. This is yours rest assured."
Su Yuanzhong comforted.
He also figured out all the stakes before letting his eldest son go to the court, otherwise he would be pushing his son into a pit of fire.
"dad!"
Su Yu shook his head and said, "What if the court doesn't kill the eldest brother, but puts him under house arrest?"
"this!"
"The imperial court can put the eldest brother under house arrest and exchange his life for certain benefits. As for the group attack you mentioned, the imperial court can only target half of the governors. As for the other governors, use inducements to lure them. How should you deal with it?"
Su Yu continued, "When the major warlords fought for territory many years ago, they had their own agendas. Even if they knew that this was the imperial court's plan to split, how could they be completely on the same page with us? Send troops against the imperial court."
"According to my information," Su Yu said, looking at his father, "the imperial court plans to target us and the governors of Guangdong and Guangxi next year. As for the other governors, they will be offered huge profits to let them stand aside."
"Sit back and watch!"
Su Yuanzhong frowned and said, "If they stand idly by, then after we are destroyed by the court, they will be the next ones. Anyone who can achieve this position is not a fool, how can they stand idly by!"
"Dad, I understand what you said."
"But think about it for a moment. If the imperial court woos us with huge profits and lets us stand by and watch, and then the imperial court goes to deal with other governors occupying wealthy areas, what will you do? Even if you will help, will you do your best to help? ? Will you disregard the life and death of the soldiers under your command and do your best to help other governors at any cost?"
"this!"
Su Yuanzhong was asked.
"As long as the major military governors don't use all their strength to fight against the imperial court, then our chances of winning are very small. What's more, the imperial court has now trained a million new troops. I have seen the military appearance of the new army, and their combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated."
"I know this," Su Yuanzhong said slowly. "These New Army soldiers are all carefully selected and have been brought to the border to participate in actual combat. Their combat effectiveness cannot be underestimated."
"It's just that what you are talking about is a conspiracy of the imperial court. Even if I know about it in advance, it will be useless. Your eldest brother still has to go. There is still no way to escape this target!"
"Why!"
Su Yuanzhong shook his head and sighed and said, "It seems that the current imperial court is not in the hands of that faint king, but someone else. Otherwise, it would be impossible to have such a sophisticated layout and calculate all the governors. This ability to calculate people's hearts is so clever." !”
"but!"
Su Yuanzhong changed the subject, his aura suddenly released, and he said with sharp eyes, "I, Su Yuanzhong, have not enjoyed the blessings in Jinling City these years. If he wants to eat my Su family, he will have to break his teeth no matter what."
"Boy, your strategic vision is much stronger than that of your eldest and second brothers. I am very happy that our Su family finally has someone with strategic vision who can see through the current situation.
Otherwise, I will probably have to go into battle and create a few more little brothers for you. Now it seems that there is no need. "
Su Yuanzhong praised Su Yu, "Even I didn't expect that I was tricked by the court, but you can see that I have really made progress in the past few years."
"Dad, this is what I calculated based on the intelligence," Su Yu touched his head slightly embarrassed.
"Your boy has assumed the position of Shanglu Security Commander, which can be regarded as a lieutenant general. Dad will no longer hide some things from you," Su Yuanzhong looked at Su Zhiqing next to him and said, "Second brother, tell the third child, these years What did you do overseas?"
"What?"
Su Yu looked at his second brother in confusion and asked, "Aren't you studying abroad?"
"That's right," Su Zhiqing looked at Su Yu's confused expression and smiled, "Before I went abroad, my father gave me the task of maintaining good diplomatic relations. You also know that your second brother's character is suitable for diplomacy, so studying abroad is the first priority. We went to Tsarist Russia last year and established good diplomatic relations with a minister in the supreme leadership organization of Tsarist Russia’s alliance armed forces. Half of our weapons and equipment were purchased from him.”
"Also, I went to Citigroup in the third year. You know that Citigroup's industrial capabilities are very strong. All the equipment and machine tool technology in our Jinling Arsenal were obtained from Citigroup, because I worked with a group of people in their military group. A general established diplomacy, and two ministers."
"Your second brother has established relations with these two countries," Su Yuanzhong continued, "I imported a large amount of weapons and equipment and formed an army.
Later I discovered that in addition to guns being important, money was also important. So in the next two years, I asked your second brother to develop business in the Middle East and transport the oil extracted from the Middle East to Citigroup for sale. Make money by taking advantage of geographical differences. "
Su Yuanzhong explained, "In the past few years, we have owned seven large companies overseas. Our Su family has been in business for generations, so we are born to do business. You didn't realize that your fourth and fifth brothers are not in Jinling? They have gone overseas to take care of business. Their business talent is better than your second brother, and seven large companies are managed in an orderly manner."
