„Offers mutual benefit and achieves common progress?”
“互惠互利?”
A special representativesuchexcuse, Zhou Yishowed a being interestedexpressionon first hearingimmediately. Hedid not suspect the influence that actually the opposite partyrepresentswhethercanprovidecertainhelptooneself, whathesuspectsis only, the place whether the opposite partycansuchas they said that needinoneselfprovides the helptooneself.
乍一听特派员这么一个说辞,周易当即就露出了一副感兴趣的表情。他倒是不怀疑对方所代表的势力是否能给自己提供一定的帮助,他怀疑的只是,对方是否能像他们所说的那样,在自己所需要的地方给自己提供帮助。Mediatingdoes is always two matters, butundersuchpremise, Zhou Yiwill certainly be skeptical.
说和做从来都是两回事,而在这样的前提下,周易当然会抱有疑虑。„Icannot find out the place that wehaveanything to offer mutual benefit and achieve common progress. Perhapsyoucanremindmy, what kind ofhelptoldmeyoutometo provide?”
“我想不出我们有什么能够互惠互利的地方。或许你可以提醒我一下,告诉我你们可以给我提供怎么样的帮助?”„Manyaspects. For exampleifyouandanycountryhad the friction, we can definitely come between the mediation, as far as possibledisappearsthiscontradictionforinvisible. Pleasebelieve that the prestige of our country, intoday'sthistime, Ithinksmostcountriescanbe willingto sell our face.”
“很多方面。比方说如果你和什么国家产生了摩擦的话,我们完全可以居中调解,尽可能的把这种矛盾化消为无形。请相信我国的信誉,在今天这个时代里,我想大多数国家都会愿意卖我们一个面子的。”
The special representativesare certainly impossible unable to listen to the meaning of Zhou Yi, buthe is also immediatelymade the responseinthisaspect.
特派员当然不可能听不出周易的意思,而他也是立刻的就在这方面做出了回应。On the sincerity, the special representativefeltoneselfsaid that isquitesincere. After allasoneby the peace and developmentas the country of motto, theymayrarelymakethistypeto interfere with the matter of internal affairs of other countries. Thatdoes not conform totheirconsistentconductpolicies. Butnowcanoffersuchcommitment, obviouslyis the heavynote of preparationunderhisbody.
就诚意来说,特派员觉得自己这么说已经是相当诚恳了.毕竟作为一个以和平发展作为座右铭的国家,他们可很少做过这种去干涉别国内政的事情。那不符合他们一贯的行事方针。而如今能给出这么个承诺,显然是准备在他的身上下重注的。Zhou Yidoes not satisfythisanswer, the plan that ortheyput forwarddoes not conform toanticipation in hisheart. Mediation? Thismatteris dispensable. Firstdid not say that hecanproduce the contradictionwiththissecularcountry, even ifreallyhad the contradiction, byhisstrength, needs the third partyto meddle, when a peacemakerdoes end?
只是,周易并不满意这种答复,或者说他们所提出来的方案并不符合他心中的预期。调停?这种事情根本可有可无。先不说他会不会和这种世俗的国家产生矛盾,就算是真的有了矛盾,凭借他的实力,难道还需要第三方插手来当一个和事佬收场吗?Thisis the answer that wantsalsoto know, butregarding this, Zhou Yishakes the head, was sayingto the nearby person.
这是想也知道的答案,而对此,周易摇了摇头,就对着身边人说道。„Assuming duty for the daymeritCao, read!”
“值日功曹,念!”„Compliant. Black TortoiseholdsbrightgodMonarchto dispatch the personincoming telegram, northday has the mortalto doinstead, making the soldierattack. That personcoloris white, ifshapebarbarian. Has suffered the divine punishment, equivalent to the soldiersinstrument more than ten thousand, has all submergedunder the icy seas.”
“遵命。玄武执明神君遣人来报,北方天维有凡人作反,引兵而攻。其人色白,状若蛮夷。已遭神罚,折合兵卒器械万余,皆已沉没于冰海之下。”„White tigersupervisessoldiergodMonarchto report, Westernday has several tens of thousandsblackskinstrange peopleto make the soldierattack, tobe dispatchedten thousandbeaststo killbrokenbyit, divides, buteatsit.”
“白虎监兵神君报,西方天维有数万黑肤异人引兵来攻,以被其遣万兽杀破,分而食之。”Was situated in a dayofficerafterZhou Yicar(riage)carriageto hear the newsto leave ranks, pulls outonepile of jadeJane/simpleto startto report. Buthearssuchreport, the special representativecomplexionimmediatelyis a pain, hadonetype unable to say the incoming callfeeling.
位居于周易车辇之后的一名天官闻讯出列,掏出一摞玉简就开始汇报了起来。而听到这样的汇报,特派员脸色当即就是一苦,有了一种说不出来话的感觉。
The premise of mediationisboth sidesrefuses to compromise, has not diedto knockdetermination. At this timeso long assomepeoplemediated, cangiveeach otherunder a stair.
居中调停的前提是双方僵持不下,又没有死磕到底的决心。这个时候只要有人从中斡旋,怎么也能给彼此一个台阶下。
The special representativeandhisbackinfluencethinklike this, if the so-calledforeheadwantsto integrate intothisworld, gains a footinginthisworld, theseTienchu that thenestablishbythemnowsurely, unavoidablecanhavecontradictorywith the surroundingcountry. Thesesmall countriesdo not suggestfor the time being, the country of strengthdefinitelywill a little have the repelslightly. Onceboth sideshave a contradictionto come, thenattacked brutally is also the inevitablematter.
特派员及他背后的势力是这样想的,如果说所谓的天庭想要融入这个世界,在这个世界占据一席之地的话,那么以他们现在定立下的这些天柱,难免的会和周围的国家有所矛盾。那些小国暂且不提,稍微有一点实力的国家必然会对此心生排斥。而一旦双方闹出点矛盾来的话,那么大打出手也就是必然的事情了。By that time, deityanythingno doubtis a cut above others, but a strengthmastery of countrydid not joke. Especially the presentisin the 21 st century, today that the humanscience and technologychanges with each new day. Even the devilscanfallto the bangwith the missile, what is the deity? Could not say that mustget sucked into the mireto be individually uncorrectable, buttothat time, oneselfintendedto rescueagain, naturallywasgives opportune help the generalbehavior.
到那个时候,神仙什么的固然高人一等,但是一个国家的实力底蕴也不是闹着玩的。尤其现在是二十一世纪,人类科技日新月异的今天。连魔鬼都能用导弹给轰掉,神仙又算是什么呢?说不得就要深陷泥潭之中不可自拔,而到了那个时候,自己再出手相救,也自然就是雪中送炭一般的行为了。It can be said that theytook advantagesuchto propose such a excuse, butthose whomadethemnot think, the strength of opposite partyobviouslythemestimatedwas higher, so-calleddeadlock, radicallywas an impracticaldelusion.
可以说,他们是打着这样的算盘才提出了这么一个说辞,而让他们没有想到的是,对方的实力明显比他们估计中的要高,以至于所谓的僵持不下,根本就是一个不切实际的妄想。Naturally, thisis the one's superior officialraisesafter all, heas a middletransmitter, thatqualificationshas not overruled. Thereforeimmediatelyhealso can only be an eyerevolution, saidotherwords.
当然,这毕竟是上峰提出来的,他作为一个中间的传达人,并没有那个资格去进行否决。所以当下他也只能是眼睛一转的,就说出了另外一番话来。„Iunderstand that yourstrengths, thissmallcontradictorycannotproduceanythingto puzzletoyour majestyyou. However, now the weapon of humanhas beentoday we are no longer as we have been, todayall thesealso are just the pieces of work. If the mattercontinuesto turn into a big trouble, thensaid that does not permitcertaincountries to use the weapons beyond somespecifications. If that was true, Iwanttoyour majesty your influences , is also not a good deed.”
“我明白贵方的实力,这点小矛盾并不能对陛下您产生什么困扰。但是要知道,如今人类的武器早已经是今非昔比,今天发生的这一切也只不过是小打小闹罢了。如果事情继续闹大下去的话,那么说不准某些国家要动用一些规格外的武器。而如果真是那样的话,我想对陛下您手下的这些势力来说,也不会是一件好事吧。”Seeming like is Zhou Yiconsidered, butin factspinsin the issue of beforehandthatmediation. Zhou Yidoes not satisfythis point, thereforehecomes straight to the pointsimply.
看起来似乎在为周易考虑,但是实际上还是在之前的那个调停的问题上打转。周易并不满意这一点,所以他干脆开门见山。„Youthought that Iwill fear the weapons beyond yourso-calledspecification? Saidyouhave forgotten, who am I?”
“你觉得我会怕你们所谓的规格外的武器吗?还是说你们已经忘了,我是谁吗?”„Does not dare! What kind ofexistenceyour majestyyouare, wenaturallyaresincerelyin the heart.”
“不敢!陛下您是怎么样的存在,我们自然是谨记于心的。”HeardZhou Yi saying that special representativeinfullcold sweatalsotook a standhastily, for fear thatoneselfspoke incorrectly a characterto provokethisterribleexistence.
听到周易这么说,特派员在满头冷汗的同时也是连忙表态,生怕自己说错了一个字就招惹到了这个可怕的存在。inhuman, Zhou Yino doubtis the patron godright. AfterZhou Yidisplays the prestige that typeis unable to estimateto be able and characteras deep as a well, mosthumanwill perhaps also definitely give birth to such a worry. Thatishe, sincecanlikeput above the stockpalmto protectthemhumangenerally, thenhe can also crash the eggto be commonlike the duplicatepalm, leads into the destructionhumandirectly?
于人类来说,周易固然是守护神没错。但是当周易表现出那种无法揣度的威能以及难以捉摸的性格后,绝大多数的人类恐怕也必然会生出这样的一种担忧。那就是他既然能如同将人类置于股掌之上一般的保护着他们,那么他是否也能如同覆掌压破鸡蛋一般的,把人类直接带入毁灭呢?Thisis the issue that anyfar-sightedhumancanconsider. Butbehind the special representative the respectiveinfluence is also naturally no exception. Includingspecial representative, theyare always discreteregarding the Zhou Yiattitude. Probablyatthis time, hedoes not dareto sayanythingpossiblyto be disobedientdecidedlyhiswords.
这是任何一个有远见的人类都会考虑到的问题。而特派员背后所属的势力自然也不会例外。包括特派员本人在内,他们对于周易的态度从来都是谨慎的。像是在这个时候,他就决然不敢说出什么可能忤逆他的话来。Heis timid, lestsaidanyerrors. Thismakes the so-calledcooperationdifficultanyprogress. Zhou Yicooperatesmanyto havethat an interestregardingthis, thereforehewavessimply, attainedin the initiativeoneselfhand.
他唯唯诺诺,唯恐说出什么错漏。这就让所谓的合作根本难有任何的进展。周易对于这个合作多少还是有那么点兴趣的,所以他干脆一挥手,就把主动权拿到了自己手中。„Youknowwell. Listening, sinceyoutook the leadto propose the cooperationformed an alliance, thenInaturally was also mayall. However, if the conditionmerelyis onlythis, may be unable to express the sincerity that youformed an alliance. To conclude the treaty of alliancewithus, youmusttakesomemore substantivechipto be goodat least.”
“你们知道就好。听着,既然你们率先提出了合作结盟,那么我自然也是无不可的。但是,如果条件仅仅只是这样的话,可表达不了你们结盟的诚意。想要和我们缔结盟约,你们最起码要拿出来一些更有分量的筹码才行。”„More substantivechip?”Hearsthissaying, the special representativeis sad. Heawarethatbigpower, at the presentthis time, healsohas not however had the meansto shirkwiththisexcuse. After all, seeing right in front of oneZhou Yiis onlyaccidentally, but the influence that alwaysdisplays the character and forehead that showbyZhou Yi, if his timeshirked, thenwantsto see right in front of oneZhou Yinexttimeagain, perhapswill not bethat the easymatter.
“更有分量的筹码?”听到这话,特派员一脸苦相。他自觉自己没有那么大的权力,但是在眼下这个时候,他又没有办法用这种说辞来推脱。毕竟,面见周易只是个偶然,而以周易一贯表现出来的性格以及天庭所展现出来的势力来看,如果他这次推脱了,那么下一次想要再面见周易,恐怕就不会是那么容易的事情了。Whenno matter, canwiththissittingin the topcharacterfirst hand exchangebe the most preciousopportunities. Somethingscan talk clearlywithhimface to face, alwayscompareswithbrief that underhim the personwrangled.
不管是什么时候,能和这种坐在最顶层的人物直接交流都是最宝贵的机会。有些事情当面和他说得清楚,总比跟他底下的人扯皮来的简略。
To understandthis point, the special representativecannot controlthesepermitsYuquanpossibilities. Immediatelyheonehorizontal, askeddirectly.
想明白了这一点,特派员也就管不了那些许逾权的可能。当即他心里一横,就直接问道。„Does not know that whatyour majestyyourso-calledmore substantivechipdoes refer to? The condition that ifyoupledgeisour countrycanwithstand, wewill definitely exhaust ability.”
“不知道陛下您所谓的这个更有分量的筹码指的是什么?如果说您开出的条件是我国能够承受的话,我们必然会竭尽所能的。”Thisis an empty talk, onehear can hear. Butregarding this, Zhou Yialsolaughs, showed a being as deep as a wellexpressiondirectly.
这是个空话,一听就能听得出来。而对此,周易也只是哈哈一笑,直接就摆出了一副高深莫测的表情来。„IfIcanmakeyouhelpmeconquer the world?”
“如果说,我要让你们帮我征服世界呢?”„That... definitelyiswanting to help but unable.”Althoughsuspected that Zhou Yisaidis cracking a joke, buthedoes not dareto followhimto playthisjokeatthismattertogether. After all the jokemustmakereal the wordsis to go extremely wrong. even if heknows himselfto receive may offendZhou Yi, buthehas totakethisrisk, shouldsayexplaining.
“那...肯定就是爱莫能助的了。”虽然猜想到了周易这么说是在开玩笑,但是他可不敢在这种事情上跟着他一起开这个玩笑。毕竟玩笑要闹真了的话,是要出大事的。所以哪怕他知道自己接下来说的话可能会得罪周易,但是他还是不得不冒着这个风险,把该说的给说明白了。„China's governmentalwaysbelieves in the political tactic of peace and development, neverdoesthatset that anythingdominates. Ifyour majestyyouwantto conquer the world, thenwe can only say that was sorry, thenpreparedfor the peacecompletelymental effort of thisworld.”
“我国政府向来信奉和平发展的政治策略,从来不搞什么称霸的那一套。如果说陛下您想要征服世界的话,那么我们只能说一句抱歉,然后准备为这个世界的和平尽一份心力了。”„Do youplanwithmefor the enemy?”
“你们打算和我为敌吗?”Zhou Yinarrowed the eye, whenhedid that that twoguards of hissidealsocoldsnort/hum, started the appearance that immediately the angry glaregazed at fixedly.周易眯起了眼睛,而在他这么做的时候,他身边的那两个侍卫也当即冷哼一声,做起了怒目瞪视的模样。Thisresulted in the tremendous pressure on the special representative, heevensomewhatworried, the nextquartercanbe rippedby these twoheightzhang (3.33 m)abundantguysexactly.
这给特派员造成了巨大的心理压力,他甚至都有些担心,自己下一刻会不会被这两个身高丈许的盎然大汉给活撕了。However, as a envoy of countrydiplomacy, hewantsto insist. Even ifthereforesaidis waiting forowncanbe the most worstresult, hegave such a answerresolutely.
不过,作为一国外交的使者,他到底还是要有所坚持。所以哪怕说等待着自己的会是一个最糟糕的结果,他还是毅然决然的给出了这么一个答案。„Even ifsaid that this may lead to amongus the hostility. Howeversorry, perhapsImustgivesuchanswer. Weare impossibleto lookhelplessly the careeristmakesto conquer the matter of the world, becausethisoftenmeans, the innumerableinnocent livesdiedunfortunately.”
“即便说这可能导致我们之间的敌对。但是抱歉,我恐怕还是必须给出这样的答案。我们不可能眼睁睁地看着野心家做出征服世界的这种事情的,因为这往往会意味着,无数的无辜生命罹难不幸。”„Youhave thoughtwhatwaits foryou to be? Thesetwopeople of great strength who seemysideperhaps, theirnextquarterwill put outgold/metalhammer, knocksexplodesyourhead!”
“那你有没有想过等着你的会是什么?看到我身边的这两个力士了吗,他们说不定下一刻就会拿出金锤,敲爆你的脑瓜!”„Ihave thought!” The timespecial representative of this saying to be bursting into tears, the legstarts unable to bearhitsto rouse. Howeverhesuppressedoneselfinstinct, closing one's eyesbellowed. „The interests of countryare higher thanall, individuallife and deathnothing to be afraid!”
“我想过!”说这话的时候特派员心里都在流泪,腿都开始忍不住地打抖擞。但是他还是抑制住了自己的这种本能反应,闭着眼的就大吼了一句。“国家的利益高于一切,个人的生死不足为惧!”„Speaking, butthisdoes not have the significance! Comes the person......”to hearthissaying, Zhou Yisneers, latershouted loudlyone. „Tothismisterseat of honor, serves tea!”
“说到好,但是这毫无意义!来人啊......”听到这话,周易一声冷笑,随后高喊一声。“给这位先生上座,奉茶!”180degreesbigcurved, making the brain of special representativealmostnot make a turn. Afterheisunder the condition that compelsignorant the personarrangedononesethonestly, he seems then survivor of disaster, hadcold sweat.
一百八十度的大弯,让特派员的脑子差一点就没有转过弯来。而在他本人还是一个懵逼的状态下被人老老实实地安排上了一套之后,他这才仿佛劫后余生的,出了一身的冷汗来。„Your majesty, your is......”
“陛下,您这是......”„Plays a joke, Ithink that your excellencyshouldnot mindIplay such a joke.”
“开一个玩笑而已,我想阁下应该也不介意我开这么一个玩笑吧。”„Thisisnatural, thisis the nature......”
“这是自然,这是自然......”Is wipingsweat on the forehead, the special representativewhileis scolding mother to sellto approveat heartcrazily. Do not look atthisis only a joke, was broughtcracking a joke, buthispoor life. According tohisbeforehandreply, hegaveto disregardoneselfpoor life. Jokes aside, hedoes not believeoneselfare unexpectedly bravetothissituation. Ifsaid that makeshimcomeoneagain, perhapshewill really choose dead a violent deathsame placeis happier.
一边擦着自己脑门上的汗水,特派员一边在心里疯狂地骂着妈卖批。别看这只是一个玩笑,被拿来开玩笑的可是他的小命。按照他自己之前的回答,他可是把自己的小命都给置之度外了。说真的,他自己都不太相信自己居然勇到这种地步。而如果说让他再来一遍的话,他恐怕真的会选择原地暴毙来的痛快一些。Naturally, thesearehisdiscontent. Buton the surface, representedhe of countryqualitycannotspitin the heartquickwants saying that anythingsaidanything. He can only press downdiscontent in the belly, after calculatesis going back, canapply for a spiritto subsidize, whilewas oppositeto the Zhou Yismiling face.
当然,这些都是他心里的牢骚。而在表面上,代表着一国成色的他到底还是不能一吐心中所快的想说什么就说什么。他只能按下自己肚子里的牢骚,一边盘算着回去之后能不能申请一点精神补助,一边对着周易笑脸相对了起来。„Iam thinking is also a joke, after allyour majestyyounotliketheseambitious, the benefitsmokes the fellow of heart.”
“我想着也是一个玩笑,毕竟陛下您可不像那些野心勃勃,利益熏心的家伙。”„Verygood, thensaid the proper business. Althoughsaid that conquers the worldis the matter of cracking a joke, butthisdoes not mean before me, thesewords that spokealsocrack a joke. Chip, insufficient. Ifyouwantto cooperatesincerely, thenmustput out a pointmore importantthing.”
“很好,那么说正事。虽然说征服世界是开玩笑的事情,但是这并不意味着我之前所说的那些话也是开玩笑。筹码,到底还是不够。如果你们真心想合作的话,那么就必须要拿出一点更具分量的东西来。”„Therefore you mean......”
“所以你的意思到底是......”Bythis time, the special representativealsounderstands the initiativegraspsin the hand of opposite party, healsono longerdoesto estimate, butwasaskedtohimdirectly.
到了这个时候,特派员也明白了主动权是握在对方的手中,他也不再多做揣度,而是直接就对他发问了起来。„Imobilizeso manyarmiestonot to make the insignia. Butspoke the straightforwardpointwords, Icallthem to launch the war. Howeverrelax, is nottoyou, Ihad no interestthatinyou. Mygoalonly has a personfrom beginning to end, thatisSmith. Week. Ithink, regardingthisperson, you should also notstrange.”
“我动员这么多军队可不是为了做仪仗的。而说得直白一点的话,我召集他们是为了发动战争。不过放心,不是对你们,我对你们还没有那个兴趣。我的目标从头到尾就只有一个人,那就是史密斯.周。我想,对于这个人,你们也应该是不会陌生的吧。”Zhou Yia few wordsrevealed the truth, butis listening tohisthese words, the special representative'swhileface, repliedhonestly.周易一句话揭开了谜底,而听着他的这番话,特派员在脸上一愣的同时,也是老老实实地应答了起来。„ThatSmith who ifyousaid. The weekisthatwords that weunderstand, we are not quite indeed strange.”
“如果说你说的那个史密斯.周是我们所了解的那个的话,我们的确是不太陌生。”„Thenabout the relations between himandHydra, you were also clear?”
“那关于他和九头蛇之间的关系,你们也清楚了吗?”„Had just understood, good that toobecausehecamouflagedbefore, and has maintained the low-keyreason. Wealsoknowrecently,healsohassuchstatus.”
“刚刚有所了解,因为他之前伪装的太好,而且一直保持低调的缘故。我们也就是最近才知道,他还有着那样的身份。”SomeslightlyscruplesSmith. The week and Zhou Yistatus, the special representativehas not saidSmithdirectly. The weekis the chief criminal of thisworlddisaster. Howeverhisimplied meaning is also verytransparent, thatisSmith. The weekistheirgovernmenthangsonnumberblacklistcharacter.
稍微有些顾忌着史密斯.周和周易的身份,特派员没有直接说史密斯.周就是这个世界祸乱的罪魁祸首。但是他言下之意也是非常明了,那就是史密斯.周已经是他们政府挂的上号的黑名单人物。Regardingsuchcharacter, the national governmentis almost impossibleto haveanydrifting along. Ifsaid that the Zhou YiplanletsthemandSmith. The weeksits the words of peace talks, thenhe can only probablytake advantagespatial.
对于这样的人物,国家政府几乎不可能有任何的苟且。而如果说周易打算让他们和史密斯.周坐下来和谈的话,那么他就只能要打一副空算盘了。Howeveris somewhat not as he expected, idea of Zhou Yinotinthisaspect. Butjust the opposite, hisidea is actually anotherentirely differentmeaning.
不过有些出乎他的意料,周易的想法并不在这方面上。而恰恰相反的,他的想法却是另外一个截然不同的意思。„Youknow that hisstatusis good, the matter that thenremainssaid. Myrequestis very simple, thatisIneedsyouto useallpossiblestrengths, constrains the Hydraeffective strength. Ifyousee, Imustlaunch a wartothemquickly. Butatthis time, ifsomepeoplecanmakethemhave too many irons in the fire, thenIshouldbe gladto seevery much.”
“你知道他的身份就好,那么剩下来的事就好说了。我的要求很简单,那就是我需要你们动用一切可能的力量,去拖住九头蛇的有生力量。如你所见,我很快就要对他们发动一场战争了。而在这个时候如果有人能让他们分身乏术的话,那么我应该还是很乐意看见的。”„Can youlaunch the wartothem?”
“你要对他们发动战争?”Arrivedthissaying, the special representativestareson first hearingimmediately. After all the fathers and sons the remnantprogramis nothecanforesee. HoweverZhou Yiinthisaspectdisplaysdecidedly, heevenwas in front ofspecial representativeto makesuchdeclared.
乍一听到这话,特派员当即就是一愣。毕竟父子相残的戏码可不是他所能预见到的。不过周易在这方面表现出了非常的决然,他甚至当着特派员的面做出了这样的宣称来。„Naturally, moreoverthisImusteradicatethemtime, completelycrushes this bastardallfond dreams. In brief, does not hit the dustfalldusthimthoroughly, Ido not give up. Ifyoumustjoin, Inaturallyalsowelcomesubmissively. What's wrong, how do youplanto do?”
“当然,而且这一次我是要把他们连根拔起,彻底地粉碎这个混蛋一切的美梦。总之,不把他彻底地打落尘尘埃,我决不罢休。而如果你们要加入进来的话,我自然也是拱手欢迎的。如何,你们打算怎么做?”
