Chapter 1259: Ferdy Pomppie's Choice
- Jiang Ping listened, couldn't help but nod, and said, "Good way!" It's just that it's not easy to implement, and the results of operation are unpredictable and uncontrollable. ”
Infighting is indeed a way to greatly damage the vitality of a civilization, and even completely make a civilization self-destructive.
There are countless examples of this, and many civilizations have been able to unite and unite in the face of a powerful foreign enemy, defeat a strong enemy, and survive. But when the strong enemy disappeared from the external troubles, the internal struggle for power and profit began, and the internal fighting was endless, but it fell apart because of this, and then self-destruction. This has to be said to be a kind of sadness.
Brenda continued: "Now, the royalists and constitutionalists of the Grimm people are fighting very fiercely, and there is a complete basis for internal fighting, if these two factions can be allowed to fight, this Grimm Empire will be in chaos, let alone deal with us at that time, I am afraid that if we fight, we will destroy ourselves." ”
Jiang Ping nodded and said, "What you said also makes sense. It would be good if it could make this Grimm Empire fight inward, but the Grimm people are not stupid, and they are not without people of insight who can't recognize the dangers of this infighting. It is also very difficult to instigate them to fight among themselves, especially when there are external threats such as us and the remnants of the alien race, and they are more likely to unite than fight. ”
Brenda said disapprerovingly: "Don't underestimate the temptation and charm of power, and don't overestimate the wisdom of human beings in the face of the great temptation of power, otherwise there won't be so many civilizations in this universe that have self-destroyed because of infighting, think about it, they would rather self-destroy their civilization." It is also necessary to fight endlessly, and you can see it. ”
Jiang Ping could not deny this either. On the contrary, there are countless such examples. For example, in the Three Kingdoms era of the Huaxia Kingdom in the old century. Cao Cao, who occupied the Central Plains, defeated the northern hero Yuan Shao in the battle of Guandu, and the Yuan family suffered this defeat, although he temporarily lost the power to plot the Central Plains, but the strength still exists.
However, after the First Battle of Guandu, Yuan Shao fell ill and died, and the north occupied by the Yuan clan was divided into three. They were occupied by his three sons, and it was clear that there was Cao Cao, a big enemy in the south, but the three sons of the Yuan family were still fighting in themselves, and in the end they were easily defeated by Cao Cao, and they were wiped out.
When people who read history in later generations read this, they may not sigh and scold the stupidity of the three sons of the Yuan family as pigs, but even if history is a mirror, there are fewer people in later generations who do such stupid things as the three sons of the Yuan family. It's still a lot, too many to count.
Jiang Ping felt that it was always a good way to provoke the Green people to fight. Even the only way to do it, though, with their current strength. It seems that there is not even the capital to instigate discord, whether it is the royalists of the Greenese. It's still a constitutional, and they don't seem to have a good impression of them at all. If there is no basis for cooperation at all, perhaps we can only hope that the Greens themselves are stupid and get out of this step of infighting.
At this moment, he suddenly thought of that Ferdy Pomppie, the once glorious commander-in-chief of the Far North Star Region of the Grimmite, and now a down-and-out prisoner, a staunch constitutionalist.
Now after the fiasco of Jialanxing, there is a power vacuum in the Far North Star Region of the Grimnes, and the two factions of the Royalists and the Constitutionalists will definitely start a power struggle here.
This is undoubtedly a place that can be exploited, as long as the other side can fight, no matter how the fight is and what the result is, it will always increase the contradictions and suspicions between the two factions, and it will always be beneficial and harmless to one's own side.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ping began to seriously think about the surplus value of Ferdy Pomppie, the captured Grimm general, maybe this Ferdy Pompi could continue to use it and give full play to his surplus value.
He thought so, no matter what, he still decided, find a time to talk to the other party again, and see the other party's attitude.
On this day, Ferdy Pompi was taken out of his prison and taken by heavily armed soldiers to a room in a parlor of the Galactic General Headquarters.
A little sadness flashed in Ferdy Pomppie's heart, and he realized that it was likely that the Jiang commander of the other party was going to see him again, and this time they met, it was likely that they were humiliated by the other party for a while, and then they were about to go on the road.
He knows very well in his heart that he will never choose to surrender and cooperate with the other party, and the other party will not let him go, he knows very well in his heart that he is a "threat" to the other party, and the other party must also know this, so it is unlikely that he will leave him again and let him leave alive.
Unexpectedly, he galloped across the field, fought horses for most of his life, made great achievements, destroyed countless countries, and finally ended up in such a miserable end of being captured and killed, which may be the fate of a battlefield general.
Ferdy Pompi sighed with emotion, and suddenly the complicated thoughts dissipated at once, and became sad and joyless, and his heart suddenly became unusually calm.
Just as he was sighing here, a person walked in from outside, who was Jiang Ping, the commander-in-chief of the Milky Way People.
Seeing the other party come in, Ferdy Pompi still sat there quietly, without even raising his eyelids, as if the old monk was in a trance, completely ignoring the other party.
Seeing the other party's attitude, Jiang Ping didn't care, sat straight up, and said spicily: "General Ferdy Pompi, these days are busy with official business, neglecting the general, I don't know how the general is doing, if there is anything slacking off, please don't be surprised." ”
Ferdy Pompi on the other side still sat there with his eyes slightly closed, and there was no reaction.
Jiang Ping didn't care, and continued to talk to himself: "I said a long time ago, our Galactic Empire is a peace-loving nation, and we didn't mean to be embarrassed by the civilization here when we came here, but just wanted everyone to coexist peacefully, benefit each other, and develop together." ”
"But if there is a civilization bullying the head, we will not tolerate concessions, and will inevitably give a resolute counterattack to the invaders, the previous battle of Jialanxing was not our original intention, and we do not want to see this result, it is really the result of your own blame and self-inflicted hardship."
"Even now, we still don't have any hostility or hatred for your Grimm civilization, I still believe that between the two civilizations, it is completely possible to coexist peacefully and develop together, if this war can make your authorities more sober, so as to change the hostile attitude towards us, so as to exchange for rare peace and friendship between the two sides, then this war is worth it."
"To tell you the truth, General, your Sector's peace mission has already arrived here, and we have been talking with them for many days. However, it is a pity that their attitude is still very arrogant and rude, and there is not much sincerity in real peace talks. ”
"But even so, we still maintained a very tolerant attitude, proceeding from the overall situation of peace and friendship between the two sides, and made some concessions, such as we have agreed in principle to return all your prisoners of war, and now the negotiations in this regard have reached the substantive stage of reaching a final agreement, but there are still some disputes on some ransom details, and asking for ransom is not that we don't care about this, but we want to let you know that if you start a war without authorization, you must pay the due price."
"However, I can also tell the General truthfully that we have not yet informed your mission of your capture, although your mission has repeatedly stated that they will do whatever it takes to ransom the General if he is still there. As for the reason, the general must be very clear, because we still want to know the general's attitude towards us before making a decision......"
Hearing the threatening words of the other party, Fei Di Pompi, who had been sitting there with his eyes closed, as if the old monk had settled down, suddenly opened his eyes, showing a few traces of essence in his eyes, and said abruptly: "Since I, Fei Di Pompi, have fallen to this point, I have long had the consciousness of death, you don't have to waste your efforts, I will not surrender, I will not choose to cooperate with you, don't talk nonsense, if you want to kill, you will kill, and you can not be humiliated!" ”
When Jiang Ping saw it, he didn't care, and said: "The general's integrity is admirable, but it's just the general's choice, it's really a pity......"
Ferdy Pompi snorted heavily, closed his eyes again, and said nothing, as if life and death were out of the question.
Jiang Ping glanced at the other party who seemed to be an old monk, and said, "Okay, I want to ask the general a question one last time, hoping that the general can answer me." ”
Opposite Ferdy Pompi still sat there silently, without any movement, as if he had not heard.
Jiang Ping said to himself: "I want to ask the general, if we let the general go back, what will the general do, will he continue to choose to fight with us, or choose to make peace with us?" ”
Hearing this, Ferdy Pampi, who was sitting quietly with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes again, and without much hesitation, he replied: "You know, I might as well tell you that if you really let me go back, I will persuade His Majesty the Emperor to choose peace with you instead of war." ”
When Jiang Ping heard this, his heart moved, and he laughed and said, "In this way, it seems that the general is worthy of being a person who understands current affairs." ”
Ferdy Pompi sneered and said: "Commander Jiang, don't get me wrong, I am not greedy for life and afraid of death, if you think that I Ferdy Pompi is greedy for life and afraid of death, so you choose this, then it is a big mistake, and you underestimate me Ferdy Pomppie." ”
Jiang Ping said: "Oh, yes, the general's answer is indeed surprising, I originally thought that the general would choose to continue to fight with us." So I don't know why the general changed his course and chose to make peace with us, what is the reason for this? ”
Ferdy Pompi snorted coldly, closed his eyes again, and said nothing, as if he didn't bother to pay attention. (To be continued......)
