Li Lin's strategy is always unexpected.

After experiencing all the "surprises" brought by his adoptive father, Roland was already a little immune to this, whenever Li Lin proposed a vague and sporadic plan idea. Even though he couldn't grasp the whole picture for a while, Roland could somewhat guess some clues.

But this time, he was also confused.

Not only did they take over the security of the disarmament agreement, but they also brought in the official forces of Charlemagne and Albion, forming a posture of monitoring each other. In addition, although the Holy See did not intervene in the talks openly, it will certainly be secretly on guard. Under the situation of intertwined teeth and equal sharing of responsibilities, let alone those terrorists who are not in the flow of the royal faction. Even Stacy had a hard time getting started.

Roland's concern about this was not that he had suddenly changed his mind and had begun to rejoice in war and bloodshed. It's just that he couldn't understand why Li Lin would make such a decision that was completely inconsistent with his usual style.

Was there something else in a place he didn't know, or was there a deep meaning in it that he couldn't see?

Roland's confusion all fell into Li Lin's eyes, and he only shrugged his shoulders at this.

Although Roland is more mature than most of his peers, he is still too young and sometimes gets into the horns, and there is also a reason why he is angry when he is put in a position by a woman for the first time. But the point of the problem is still a bit unreasonable.

The interest of Li Lin and the elven camp is that the negotiations fail, and the death of the negotiator can indeed contribute to this outcome, but who said that the negotiations will only fail if the negotiator is killed? Is this guy the angry young assassin who shot Li Zhongtang in 1895 - Toyotaro Koyama?

The actions of the will of the state are almost unaffected by personal emotions and actions, and Li Zhongtang was shot in the face. The Treaty of Shimonoseki was signed. Serbia in 1914 agreed to almost all of Austria-Hungary's demands, and World War I broke out on time. In the face of factors such as the will of the great powers, the international situation, and the balance of strength between countries, the indignation of young people is not worth mentioning. They have the potential to be a destructive force, but they are by no means a decisive force, let alone be expected to achieve great things.

Both Albion and Charlemagne are interested in delaying the arms race, but they lack the necessary political foundation, and even if they don't let Stasi make any small moves, they can disrupt the negotiations by simply using political tricks, not to mention the card of the royal riot.

At the moment, the Pope has offered to put V.E in charge of security, which is not a bad thing. V.E is responsible for the personal safety of the negotiators. As for whether the negotiations are successful or not, it has nothing to do with the company. That's a matter for Albion and Charlemagne. In the event that the negotiations fail, no one can blame V.E.

I really should be grateful to His Majesty the Pope for putting another layer of protection on the untraceable and undetectable crime of the V.E Company, if only he could. He should have been given a medal.

Pull your mind out of a whole bunch of information. Red Pupils and Roland's eyes met. Looking at the young man's thoughtful expression, Li Lin nodded secretly.

Looks like I've figured it out, albeit a little slower. But it's still pretty good, isn't it?

"Shall I say that the Pope is far inferior to you?"

The extremely sarcastic voice was directed at others as well as at Roland himself.

Compared with Li Lin, who is so black that he is purple and shiny, the Qixia who plays with the means of not entering the stream is no different from a child, and he is also the one who sees through the mystery one step later.

This is too much, and there is nothing wrong with the Pope's idea in itself, but there are two things that cannot be compensated for by strategy and faith. ”

Li Lin raised two fingers and said:

"First, it's hard to trust others. Not to mention two long-standing hostile countries. Second, successful diplomacy must be supported by sufficient national strength. ”

Not to mention the first point, the second point is to put it bluntly, that is, whether there are enough guns and money bags to support the mouth. Today's Holy See neither has the military strength to defeat all the countries in conflict, nor does it even have the financial resources to be a son. What can be accomplished by empty words such as "common faith", "peace", and "prayer"?

"Knock all the countries in conflict to their knees...... It's really ......."

"If you want to be a world policeman, you have to do this. ”

After a pause, Li Lin was tempted to tell Roland the story of a country that called itself the "Empire of Human Hope" and "a beacon of freedom and democracy" founded by the descendants of exiled mortals, tax evaders, and mobs. But that lacked relevance, so he gave another example.

"What would you do if Gloria and Nona suddenly had a duel and the surviving side could monopolize you?"

Poof-

The black tea that had just been poured into his mouth squirted out, and the hand-woven tapestries and walls were stained with the tea.

"Yes...... Can you give me an example?"

The wolf bèi boy groaned as he smashed the corners of his mouth, as if he saw a fierce clash between a knight's sword and a chariot cannon, and two young girls wielding weapons to turn the streets into ruins.

"Let's assume that Spider and Venia have a fierce battle for the power to attack you at night and burrow into your bed—"

"STOP!! please give an example outside of the Shura field!!, please!!!"

Roland almost fell to the ground, clutching his forehead with a painful scream.

"It's really unproductive, it's just assuming that the situation in the Shura field is so unbearable, and your married life is really worrying. ”

"What are you talking about?"

"Don't you know? Prime Minister Richelieu and I are working on the revision of the Marriage Act, and the provisions that 'a 16-year-old can marry a concubine' and 'a 10-year-old girl can also marry' will be reviewed and officially enacted into law. ”

"You spare me......"

Such a gentleman's law is too much to hold...... Uh, correction, it's blind eyes, can't look directly.

Roland's current identity is still a commoner, but he can also understand the values and lifestyles of princes and nobles. In the ethics of the aristocracy, taking a concubine is a normal thing, and the so-called "concubine" is a second wife, and it is difficult for them to understand the relationship between themselves and their wives as a flower.

Once the wedding ceremony with Minerva is completed, Roland will also become a member of the royal family, and must also accept this kind of values that are very different from those of commoners and many accompanying wives - needless to say, Li Lin obviously intends to directly send all the girls who are now close to Roland into the harem.

Incidentally, in Alfheim, which encourages population growth, polygamy and children are also allowed and encouraged.

"In order to have a peaceful family life in the future, so that the body will not be dismembered by a firewood knife and an axe on a dark and windy night in a certain month, at least simulation hypothetical training must be carried out at this stage. Don't you think so?"

"Families infested with firewood knives and axes should be disbanded as soon as possible while there is no trouble! Now switch the topic to the original direction! Immediately! Immediately!!"

Squeezing a scream out of his throat with all his strength, Roland collapsed on the seat.

"It's not impossible to stop talking about this topic, but ......"

Rubbing his chin, Li Lin showed the smile of a carnivorous creature, and a large goosebump suddenly stood up on Roland's back. (To be continued......)
