Senior Brother, Stop It, You Are A Villain!

Misunderstanding (2)

Regarding this invitation, Feng Shao felt that it should be the best choice for him and Lin Xiaoran to come together.

In this world, similar exchanges also exist, but generally, they are only a formality and have not formed a formal diplomatic practice. After all, there is no concept of country here, and there seems to be no need to pay too much attention to formal diplomacy.

But since Feng Shao wanted to develop Wuling City into a country, he had to consider this aspect.

Therefore, Feng Shao called Dai Zhixin and explained his own thoughts to Dai Zhixin in detail.

After Dai Zhixin listened, she didn’t answer Feng Shao’s question immediately, but asked instead, “City Lord Feng, what conditions do you think need to be met to develop Wuling City from a city to a country? How long will it take?”

Feng Shao frowned and thought for a moment before saying, “Sufficient territory, a culture recognized by the majority of the people, a sufficient population, strong military strength, and diplomatic influence, if these conditions are met, it should be enough to establish a country? The additional time consumed… maybe at least a few decades, and if there is more, it is possible to take as long as hundreds of years.”

Dai Zhixin nodded and said, “Indeed, it should take a long time to grow from a city to a country. But do you know how long it took the Roman Empire to develop from a small city-state to its heyday?”

Without waiting for Feng Shao to answer, Dai Zhixin stretched out a finger, “It only took more than a hundred years. The Roman Empire was able to develop to such a large scale in a short period of time. In fact, it’s only just because it has a powerful army. As for culture and so on, the people under the rule of the Roman Empire don’t have a strong sense of identity with it. After all, there are many ethnic groups in Europe, and the population of each ethnic group is similar, so it has never created a real pan-cultural circle.”

Speaking of this, Dai Zhixin changed the subject again and said, “Do you know how long it took Mongolia from its founding to its peak?”

She stretched out five fingers, “For more than fifty years, this powerful great empire in history is second only to the Sunset Empire in terms of territory. It only took more than fifty years from its establishment to its peak. Not to mention its cultural identity, the Mongol Empire at its peak had a population of less than ten million, but they ruled over two hundred million people.”

Afterward, Dai Zhixin said meaningfully, “Actually, judging from the external conditions, it is possible to unify this world, at least it is easier to achieve unification than Mongolia and Rome. The only question is, do you have enough people with great force around?”

Feng Shao frowned and said, “Can’t we use the way of city-state union?”

Dai Zhixin shrugged, “This can be regarded as a solution, but you might as well think about it carefully. How many countries have been established on the basis of the union of city-states in history? How many have really achieved strength? Think about the fate of the Roman Republic. Think about the fate of the Greek Republic. If you are closer, you can refer to the universe, and what is the final result?”

Dai Zhixin said with emotion, “In this world where strength is the most important thing, do you want to convince people with virtue? You can’t say it’s impossible, but it’s definitely the most difficult of all roads. If you insist on choosing this, of course, I can only follow your ideas. But as your aide, I think I should remind you how difficult it is to walk this road.”

Feng Shao had to admit that Dai Zhixin saw this very clearly.

There is no best system, only the most suitable system.

In this world where the gap in individual strength is ridiculously large, respecting strength has become the most important principle that everyone respects.

It is not impossible to establish a country, but the premise is that one has to have the strength to conquer everyone.

This also means that only monarchy is the most suitable system for this world.

Feng Shao couldn’t help but sigh. This is different from what he imagined before!

Dai Zhixin looked at Feng Shao and smiled secretly.

She knows the follow-up plot and also knows that Feng Shao is actually a dreamer in essence.

Although he has great ambitions, many of his ideas were actually too naive at the beginning.

In the end, he helplessly found out that many things did not develop as he imagined.

And what she said now was just to tell Feng Shao in advance something that he would figure out later.

After pondering for a long time, Feng Shao finally sighed and said, “Looking at you like this, it seems that you already have a plan? Why don’t you tell me about it first.”

Dai Zhixin laughed. Feng Shao’s words are actually a kind of compromise to fate.

Compromising with fate is not losing face, losing face is being beaten by fate again and again.

Dai Zhixin smiled and said, “Actually, I only have one plan, but it is a plan to build a powerful army.

The prerequisite for building an army is to have powerful weapons. So during the time you left, I have been trying to create some weapons that conform to the laws of development in this world. Fortunately, there have been a few finished products recently.”

“Although judging from the power of these finished products, there is still a long way to go before building a truly powerful army. But to move a world, this small fulcrum is often needed. What do you think, my great City Lord Feng?”
