Throne of Vientiane Civilization

"Mr. Narga, what do you think is the most important thing for the United Nations to maintain long-term and peaceful existence?"

The moment he heard this question, Narga immediately knew that the other party had seen through him.

Now that things have come to this, there’s no point in pretending any further.

As his thoughts raced, Narga calmly uttered two words.

"balance."

"Yes, it's balance."

Zhou Xu took over the conversation and expressed affirmation.

"In this United Nations consisting of five countries, if the three of us form a group, what balance will there be?"

"The king of Copperforge has just been replaced. Judging from the attitude shown by the new king, they will definitely remain neutral as always. In this way, the Saint Laurent Empire will be completely at a disadvantage."

Having said this, Zhou Xu paused.

"Do you need me to continue, Lord Narga?"

"I just want to confirm His Majesty Emperor Zhou's thoughts. I hope Your Majesty will not be offended."

At this moment, the old man admitted his mistake quite straightforwardly.

According to normal thinking, among the five countries in the coalition, three countries stick together and one country remains neutral. The remaining one will definitely be suppressed, and the United Nations will become the one-man show of the Great Zhou.

But in fact, once such a situation is formed, it will feel like there is a tiger at its side for the Saint Laurent Empire.

Even if the tiger has no intention of hurting people, can people really let go and live in peace with the tiger?

The answer is no. People will only be in constant fear because of the existence of this threat.

Sooner or later, he's going to do something stupid.

Therefore, if the United Nations wants to achieve lasting peace, the best way is to maintain internal balance.

When a tiger and a human become two tigers, and neither can do anything to the other, then no one will act rashly.

The old man was just testing whether he could figure out the problem and then consider whether to cooperate with him.

"Then in the next United Nations meeting, our Smith Republic will stand on the side of the Saint Laurent Empire. I hope His Majesty Emperor Zhou will not blame us."

Narga said as he raised his glass in a toast.

After hearing this, Zhou Xu laughed and raised his glass as well.

"That's fine. It's all for the peace of the United Nations."

During this time, Peter, who was also present, became anxious when he heard this.

In his opinion, he and Zhou Xu still have cooperation. If the Smith Republic sides with the Saint Laurent Empire, what will happen to his cooperation project?

You know, he is now counting on guns to make a comeback!

Zhou Xu noticed the change in his expression and added casually.

"Of course, the position in the UN Parliament does not hinder trade cooperation between our two countries."

Narga was slightly stunned when he heard this. He was a little slow to react and didn't know why Zhou Xu suddenly emphasized this sentence.

However, after noticing the changes in Peter and Fisher's expressions, he immediately understood what was going on.

"Of course."

In terms of status, although he is the Speaker and Consul, in reality, to put it bluntly, he is just an employee and he really has no control over Fisher and Peter.

Of course, even though he couldn't do anything about it, he still knew about some of the things happening in their country.

When he thought of this, Narga felt tired.

During this simple exchange, the two sides seemed to have reached some kind of invisible consensus. In the following banquet, Narga no longer talked about the United Nations, but turned to chat with Zhou Xu about his experience in governing the country.

He finally hit the nail on the head. Zhou Xu has gained real knowledge through practice over the years. Coupled with the flexible thinking of modern people, he is now very comfortable when talking about this.

Zhou Xu could explain to him in just a few words the problems that he had not been able to understand before. After a few rounds of conversation, Narga looked at Zhou Xu with a bit of respect in his eyes.

He even couldn't help but want to talk to Zhou Xu about the parliamentary republic.

When Peter was trying to trick him, what he said sounded good and he thought there was nothing wrong with it. But now that he was trying to implement it, he found it was difficult and full of problems!

However, Fisher and Peter are here now, so it is obviously not a good time to discuss this matter.

After hearing this, Zhou Xu spread his hands.

"It is also possible that they are indeed in league with the Saint Laurent Empire, and they took the initiative to bring this up at the banquet just to paralyze us."

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

“…”

To put it bluntly, I don't know whether the old man Narga is playing Mission Impossible or Mission Impossible.

Of course, there is also a great possibility that this old man is playing both sets of operations at the same time.

He told Zhou Xu that he was actually on the same side as the Great Zhou, but at the same time he told the Saint Laurent Empire that he was on the same side as them.

Let both sides think that Smith Republic is on the same side as themselves.

In this way, the old man will be able to adapt to the situation and not suffer any loss no matter what.

"Otherwise, why do you say this old man is dishonest?"

Looking at Yalvette who was having a headache, Zhou Xu laughed.

"Don't even think about it. No matter what that old man does, as long as we form a united front in the United Nations, we will be invincible."

"Then aren't you afraid that Copperforge will side with the Saint Laurent Empire? Then, the coalition forces will be two against three."

“…”

Zhou Xu couldn't say that Yalvette's guess was completely impossible. After all, there was no such absolute thing in the world.

In this regard, Zhou Xu could only say.

"The new King Baron is a smart man. Now that we are two against two, he should know that it is safest to let Copperforge remain neutral."

Having said this, Zhou Xu paused.

"At the same time, even if he really wants to abandon Copperforge's neutral position and choose to stand on one side, he is more likely to stand on our side."

"Why?"

Yalvette asked the question without thinking, standing next to Zhou Xu. She acted like she was too lazy to think, and Zhou Xu would definitely tell her the answer anyway.

Seeing this, Zhou Xu smiled helplessly.

"Because the location of Tonglu Fort is too close to our Great Zhou, once he sides with the Saint Laurent Empire, when a war breaks out, Tonglu Fort will inevitably be the first to bear the military impact from our Great Zhou. This is too risky for Tonglu Fort."

"On the other hand, if he sides with our Great Zhou, even if the Saint Laurent Empire wants to take action, it will take at least half a month to a month from assembling troops to the arrival of the army. This time is enough for our garrison at the Plain Fortress to go to Tonglubao to assist in the defense."
