Volume 3 Chapter 350 Who Am I (2)
Ya, Yangon, Lu Ren still stayed in the landing craft as usual. Pinshu.com
Recently, due to the adjustment of the strategic level, Lu Ren is really tired, and it is not until the last few days that things have stopped so much, and Lu Ren has been able to relax a little. At least for this moment, Lu Ren was lying on the deck in a daze looking at the starry sky.
It's okay to say that the body is tired, and it's basically the same to eat and drink well after a good night's sleep. But if it's tired, it's really hard to recover, and Lu Ren is tired now.
Can you not get tired? Since Cao Pi sorted out the incident, Lu Ren has been in a tired mental state almost all the time, and the Cao Pi incident ended in a rather dramatic scene, so why not the result of Lu Ren and Xun Yu and others racking their brains and trying their best to strategize?
To put it mildly, Lu Ren's brain operation during the previous period can be regarded as a computer that has been overclocking for a long time, and when it is almost time to take a good rest, the computer must be burned out.
At this time, even Minchan would not bother Lu Ren, in order to let Lu Ren relax. And Lu Ren was lying like this, looking at the starry sky stupidly, and his brain was almost blank, almost blank after the computer crashed. I don't think about anything, and I don't want to think about anything.
Lu Ren wanted to be such a good opportunity for a while, but the light tremor from his fingertips had to make Lu Ren's soul that seemed to leave his body to soar back to his body. Reluctantly sat up and looked at his hands again, Lu Ren shook his head helplessly and got up again to go to the communication cabin...... Some laziness can't steal. Now that the situation has just stabilized, God knows if anything will change.
With these physical and mental exhaustions, Lu Ren connected the communication in the communication room. Maybe Lu Ren was really tired during this time, or maybe the communication with Xun Yu was too frequent during this time, so Lu Ren almost connected the communication in a very mechanical and numb state, and he didn't go to see who the "caller" was before connecting. Because of this, when Wan'er's hologram appeared in front of Lu Ren, Lu Ren was stunned for a while before he understood.
"Wan, Wan'er? Why did you suddenly remember to contact me? ”
Wan'er didn't speak, but looked at Lu Ren for a while before saying, "Looking at you now, you seem to be very tired?" ”
Lu Ren smiled bitterly: "I'm tired, I'm really tired." Maybe you don't know, some time ago I had a big incident here, and I almost didn't recover...... yes, aren't you going to avenge that 'daddy' of yours? If I did fall into an abyss from which I could never recover, you would be happy, right? ”
Wan'er fell silent when she heard this, and only shook her head lightly after a long time: "I don't know...... Lao Lu, I want to ask you something. ”
"Lao Lu?"
Lu Ren was stunned for a while before he reacted, and said dumbly: "Why did you remember to call me that?" ”
Wan'er shook her head again: "It's just a mouth......"
Lu Ren shrugged: "Okay, okay, it's me who is too careful." Hey, what do you want to ask me? ”
Wan'er bit her lip: "Let me ask you first, did you really have no choice but to kill my father at that time?" ”
Lu Renxin said, "Your dad is a fake, okay? But think about it again, Wan'er was resurrected because of "him", so in a sense, "he" can indeed be called Wan'er's father, a father who gave Wan'er a new life.
Thinking about the thrilling trouble that he and Shirley made when they bumped into "him" in this time and space, Lu Ren said helplessly to Wan'er: "At this point, I can swear to heaven that if I don't kill 'him' at that time, then Shirley and I will definitely die at 'his' hands...... By the way, swearing doesn't mean much to us, and all I can tell you is that I'm not lying to you. ”
Wan'er was silent again. Then after a long silence, Wan'er said faintly: "Okay, I believe you did it out of helplessness." Then Lu Ren, let me ask you again, if I give up my revenge on you, can you stop this war that I don't know how long it will take? ”
Lu Ren was stunned again this time, because Lu Ren never thought that Wan'er would say such a thing at this time.
Wan'er saw that Lu Lan was stunned, so she sighed softly and said, "Do you know why I chose to believe what you just said?" In fact, at the beginning, all I thought about was to take revenge on you according to my father's plan, and I didn't think about anything else at all, or I didn't understand anything at that time. But ......"
At this point, Wan'er lowered her head, and her head kept shaking softly: "What should I say?" As I was exposed to more and more things, and more and more things I understood, I gradually felt how crazy my father's plan was for me. Because according to his plan, he is simply provoking a very large-scale war, and in such a large-scale war, how many people will die in this cruel war? ”
After hearing these words, Lu Ren was really stunned and the old elder couldn't come back to his senses for a long time. Finally returning the god to his body, Lu Ren said very helplessly: "Wan'er, I personally can fully understand your thoughts, in fact, where do I like such things as war?" But I have to tell you the truth, that is when things have developed to this point, and it is no longer beyond the control of me, Lu Ren. ”
Having said this, Lu Ren's mind also cleared up. And Lu Ren has been mixed up for so many years, and he can think about some things and understand what is going on, so he said to Wan'er after sorting out his mind a little: "You will suddenly say these words to me, I think it should be that a lot of people have died because of the war over there, right?" ”
Wan'er nodded: "That's true...... War is really too cruel. ”
Lu Ren lowered his head and sighed softly: "I always feel that this is the real you, although you don't remember me anymore, but your character doesn't seem to have changed much." ”
Wan'er said: "Can't you stop this war? ”
Lu Ren said: "Wan'er, you are confused. I have been dragged in Kushan until now, and I have not fought until I rest, so to speak, except for the previous battle of Yangon and a small number of Anxi's navy, I have not even fought a formal battle with Anxi. In other words, there is nothing between me and Anxi, so the current war against Anxi is Rome, not me. ”
Wan'er said: "I know this. I also know that if you continue to fight like this, you may soon be in a head-to-head battle with Sabbath, which we will not mention for now. I want to say that you don't have an alliance with Rome? Can't you do a diplomatic mediation between the rest and Rome? ”
Lu Ren weakly held his forehead with his hand: "How do you feel that you are becoming more and more similar to Wan'er at the beginning?" Oh, I mean, how did your people get a little silly? Alas, you said that you are willing to give up revenge, which I want to believe you, but now I, as a politician, and those staff under my command, will not believe you so easily. Don't blame me for this, after all, from the perspective of those of us who play politics, we can't easily believe these words no matter what, because none of us can tell whether you are playing a delaying tactic...... Can you understand? ”
Now it was Wan'er's silence, and after a long time, she nodded and said, "I can understand." ”
Lu Renchong smiled at Wan'er, and then said, "But in terms of personal feelings, I still want to believe you." Well, let's not talk about this kind of thing for now, but I'll just tell you one thing from a practical point of view...... The war between Rest and Rome is definitely not something that I, Lu Ren, can mediate. ”
"Why?"
Lu Ren said: "Because for these two ancient empires, I don't have enough deterrence for them to be able to listen to me." The war between these two ancient empires is fundamentally a feud between the two ancient Ming Dynasty since ancient times, and the two sides can almost be said to be inseparable and endless. So, even if I cancel my alliance with Rome now and no longer provide Rome with those weapons and equipment, the Roman Empire will still wage war against Sabbath as long as it still has the strength to fight. The reverse is also true, as long as the Sabbatarian Empire has the corresponding strength, it will definitely wage war against the Roman Empire. And I, Lu Ren, in such a thing, is just a small boat that can drift by the current, although I can borrow a lot, but I want this small boat to become a dam that blocks the tide, which is not too realistic at all. ”
Speaking of this, Lu Ren smiled: "If you don't believe it, you can find an opportunity to ask Cass Eli if she is willing to negotiate peace with the Roman side, but I think the result will probably not be as good as you want." Maybe in your current situation, you can control Cass Eli and make her listen to you, but if there is any weakness on the rest side, the Roman side will fight, and then burn, kill, loot and even slaughter the city...... Wan'er, I still say the same thing, many things are not that simple. ”
Wan'er was silent again, and then asked, "You really can't do anything?" ”
Lu Ren shrugged: "Unless I can really fight there, and then use strong military force to force Rome and Anxi to cease their war." But one is that I don't think I have such a strong military strength, and the other is that I have that military strength, but I can't manage it for a while, and when I leave, they will fight again. Wan'er, this kind of thing is unavoidable even in modern society, let alone in this era of Ming and uncivilized? ”
After another pause, Lu Ren added: "If you just want me to withdraw from the army and go back, this matter is not too difficult, after all, I am not very willing to fight such a battle." But Wan'er, as I just said, although I am willing to believe you from the perspective of personal feelings, from the perspective of a politician, I dare not believe you at all. If you're really playing a delaying trick on me, do you know how much I'm going to lose?
"Okay, even if it's my personal gains and losses, I won't say much, the current Guishan is divided into Southern Guishan and Northern Guishan, Southern Guishan is counting on my support to resist the exploitation of the nobles, and the lower castes there on the Asan Peninsula are also counting on my support to help them complete the counterattack of the lower castes. If I retire at this time, do you know how many people will be disappointed in me? I don't say how noble I am, but on this basis, if you play a delaying tactic against me, I will undoubtedly lose the trust of these regions, and then when I fight again, it will be difficult for me to move forward because of the loss of these trusts. ”
Speaking of this, Lu Ren glanced at Wan'er with an extremely complicated mood, and shook his head silently: "You are no longer the Wan'er you were at the beginning; And now I am no longer the same person I used to be. I don't want to say much about what you were like at the beginning, let those things stay in my heart; And now I am not as carefree and heartless as I was at the beginning, because there are so many things in my body, and I must not do things based on personal emotions alone. If I think about it carefully, I often feel that I am actually very pitiful now, because I have too many bodies that I can't help myself, and I can only force myself to do things that I don't want to do. ”
Now it was a long silence for Wan'er. The two of them were silent with each other like this, and I don't know how long, Wan'er sighed faintly: "Lao Lu, is there really no way for you and me to end these wars?" ”
Lu Ren shook his head: "There is no way." In fact, unless the enlightenment of mankind has reached a certain stage, war will never end. At most, it can be a period of relative peace. ”
Saying that, Lu Ren suddenly smiled: "What are we talking about today?" Is there a philosophical proposition for the development of human beings? ”
Wan'er also smiled, and then shook her head: "Actually, having said so much, you are just sure that the war between Anxi and Rome will not end so easily, and you will definitely fight here after the conditions are ripe, right?" ”
Lu Ren said: "I'm okay to say here, as long as you are willing to go with me, my purpose of using troops for rest has been achieved, and there will naturally be no war between me and rest." But there really wasn't much I could do about the war between Rest and Rome. ”
At this point, Lu Ren's heart suddenly rose with a sense of hope, and he said earnestly to Wan'er: "Wan'er, can you leave and follow me?" As long as you come here, I'll ......"
Wan'er shook her head: "Lao Lu, the current me is actually similar to you now......
