The stupid wait for the opportunity, the ordinary people encounter the opportunity, and the smart person seizes the opportunity.

It is said that this is so, but after all, it is only a general talk, and it is as vague and general as the remarks of how a certain person is, how a certain country is like, how a certain race is, and so on.

Based on other people's one-sided experiences, generalizations, fantasies, and rumors, he labels people who have not really had in-depth contact with and understood how and how -- although there are many arguments based on statistics, in Li Lin's view, it is still not scientific and objective.

Compared with the ethereal concepts of so-called nationality and national character, the appeal of interests and conflicts are more real, and they are more valuable as an important reference material for strategic planning.

the lucrative trade that comes with maritime trade;

an increasingly volatile international form;

a neighbor that is constantly arming and has greater ambitions for expansion than at any other time in history;

Under the unprecedented new shape, the country's strategic positioning and security needs;

Finally, there is the need to appease the people and stabilize the domestic situation.

Based on the above-mentioned practical interests, rather than a vague and ambiguous sentence of "maritime nationality" and "islander mentality", Li Lin ordered the Agarwood to hit the Shannon, and then quickly spread the message of the tragedy, creating an opportunity for everyone to seize.

Because it is related to vital interests, people will strongly demand that the Wang Navy take action, and this voice will be widely supported by the public, and eventually form pressure on the Wang Navy. Desperate to save face, the royal navy was in the name of conforming to public opinion and decentralizing the state secretary, who sat in his land office and directed operations at sea. Wolsingham, who struggled with how to create an opportunity and a reasonable atmosphere to lure the snake out of the hole, also got the reason he wanted. After politely refusing a few times, he also had to change his deployment in accordance with public opinion, and reasonably evacuate some of the ships responsible for the inventory and raid, so as to create a tempting opportunity to escape.

Of course, while the plan looks perfect, there is no guarantee of what it will actually be carried out until the last minute. However, for a veteran politician such as the Secretary General of State, even if the arrest fails, he and the Navy are not held responsible. After all, it was "public opinion" that demanded that they do so. They only have "leadership responsibilities". The main responsibility lies with the selected unlucky ones and the masses who do not know the truth.

Politicians are always like this, when they need it, the will of God is the will of God, when they don't need it, the will of the people is nothing, and finally. When public opinion conflicts with the will of politicians. All politicians have to do is use public opinion to steer public opinion in a direction that is in line with their will......

Anytime, anywhere. Even if the world changes, it's still the same.

In any case, at the moment the people of Albiang are happy with the situation. Everyone's demands were met in different ways, and everyone happily continued their daily lives. As for why the sea monster chose to attack at this juncture, no one will go into the investigation. Unless there is conclusive evidence that the qiē was a man-made attack, that someone wrote the director's script, humans will only think that it was either a sea monster on a whim or a corner of an elusive destiny arranged by the gods.

-- As long as people don't know and don't discover the truth, they can fit into the stage called "happiness" and play their role faithfully.

This part will be the key and most tiring part of the plan. Keep an eye on Walsingham's movements, find Richelieu's spy in the middle of nowhere, and find the jewel one step ahead of anyone else. None of these tasks are easy, and as soon as one of them goes off schedule, the whole plan will be disjointed and frustrated. Yan zhòng's words will even uproot the spy network lurking in Albian, and it will have to start all over again.

The risks are high, but they also have value. If things go smoothly, the situation will return to the original track, and the company will once again secretly lead the process of disarmament negotiations, and can interfere with the content of the agreement. In addition, the accompanying additions are also quite substantial, and the two phases are superimposed, and it is worth taking a risk. Even if things don't go well, as long as no one is sent to Newgate alive to enjoy Walsingham's newly developed torture methods, some damage is acceptable.

Li Lin tried not to let things go for the worst, and he still had several cards to play in his hand, which, if used properly, would be enough to ensure that he maintained his advantage in this chase.

Next, what is needed is to make the most of the advantages......

"Your Excellency. ”

Aosta's slightly stiff voice rang out, and the gaze at the unpretentious countryside landscape was withdrawn, and the slightly twitching face of Agent Stasi, who had been keeping a straight face, came into view.

"Just arrived at three messages. ”

Aosta, who didn't show his mood, tried to make his face look undulating, but the urge to rinse his mouth after eating something sour was getting stronger, and if it had happened to him in the branch office in Lundinium, he would have rushed to the bathroom. But now is the occasion for such a strict meeting with the consuls, and any behavior that does not conform to basic etiquette is not allowed. He could only endure it, slowly experiencing the process of stiffening and spasming the muscles in his face.

"That majesty ordered a batch of 'toys' from us, and here's the list. ”

Hands presented a dense list, Li Lin calmly looked at the names listed above: triangular trojan horse, large syringe, leather gloves, mouth clamp, leather nine-tailed cat, large low-temperature candle, anal thermometer with granular bulges on the surface, two-headed snake, thin black stockings with lace edges, and a rather exposed black leather suspender suit......

For a lady, the interest shown in this list is a bit bad, but since this is a "virgin queen" who is known as "marry the country, never marry for life", it seems that it can be forgiven to comfort the loneliness of the night with toys, or to use props to give more excitement to the tryst in bed, anyway, no one expects her to really be a virgin for life. It's just that as far as Li Lin knows, the taste of the one in Whitehall is relatively unusual, ordinary self-venting and being overwhelmed by her lover doesn't seem to be her appetite, she is more inclined to press the weak beautiful boy under her, and use the two-headed snake to carry out "two-way docking", while listening to the teenager's crying, she covered her mouth and laughed "oh hehehe......

I have to repeat it again, it's terrible.

If it weren't for the fact that Her Majesty the Queen liked this tune, Li Lin planned to include her in the list of "Roland Crystal Palace Expansion Battle", firstly, Roland's appearance was very in line with the queen's aesthetic taste, and secondly, it was quite economical to use marriage to obtain land. But the thought of Roland being ridden under him by a woman in a tight leather coat, trampling on the vital point with black stockings or high heels, in case he was at risk of infertility because of playing too much...... Eventually, I gave up on the tempting idea.

Femdom or something, after all, can only be done by professionals.

Handing the list to the clerk, Li Lin asked:

"What about two more news?"

"Just an hour ago, Master Roland and his party arrived in Plymouth. And ......"

Aosta took a deep breath and said in the calmest tone possible:

"Lüdes called, the princess of Minerva is missing. ”

Li Lin crooked the corners of his mouth and didn't say anything. (To be continued......)
