It seems like temperate, the regulations are aggressive very strong operating the rudder. 此时的欧阳朔,既朝气蓬勃,又冷静非凡；既咄咄逼人,又有理有据。看似温和,实则是一位侵略性很强的掌舵者。 Literary and Military Chancellor dreads him, respects him from the bottom of the heart, regards him for the leader. 文武大臣畏惧他,更打心底地崇敬他,视他为领袖。 Mulan Yue, Gu Xiuwen, Sun Yannong, Cui Shousi, Zhou Haichen, Lin Yi, Shi Hu, Niu Da , etc. did Empire new generation Literary and Military Chancellor, is regards Ouyang Shuo for the teacher, poses as the Son of Heaven disciple. 木兰月、顾修文、孙岩农、崔守嗣、周海辰、林逸、石虎、牛达等一干帝国新生代文武大臣,更是视欧阳朔为导师,以天子门生自居。 Facing this kind of legendary man, even if worldly-wise like Elderly Chen, feels a pressure. 面对这样一位传奇男子,就算是世故如陈老,也感受到一丝压力。 Many words, say. 很多话,就说不出口。 Ouyang Shuo is very confident, „Elderly Chen this comes, must consult, has any words might as well to speak frankly.” 欧阳朔却很坦然,“陈老此来,必有请教,有什么话不妨直说。” Elderly Chen nodded, this lifting a heavy weight as if light, he no longer had, „World War erupts, Great Xia does not have the sound, won't prepare sitting atop a mountain to watch the tigers fight?” 陈老点了点头,这种举重若轻,他却是不再有了,“世界大战爆发,大夏却毫无动静,不会准备坐山观虎斗吧？” This is the probe. 这是试探。 „sitting atop a mountain to watch the tigers fight, many people are long-awaited, does not have anything not to be good.” Ouyang Shuo on does not wrap. “坐山观虎斗,多少人梦寐以求的,没什么不好。”欧阳朔不上套。 Elderly Chen said: „Sits mountain Guanhu to be no doubt leisurely and carefree, but other tiger was extinguished, when a tiger is stronger, doesn't Great Xia fear by the tiger injuring?” 陈老跟着说道:“坐山观虎固然悠闲,但是等一只虎被灭,一只虎更强壮时,大夏就不怕被老虎给伤着？” „Great Xia has copper wall, iron bastion, cannot injure.” “大夏有铜墙铁壁,伤不着。” The Ouyang Shuo oil salt does not enter, atmosphere one coagulates, just now tender feeling, the dissipation does not have the trace. 欧阳朔油盐不进,气氛一下凝固,方才的温情,消散无踪。 Elderly Chen saw, within heart sighed, „Ouyang Shuo, eventually no longer was beforehand Ouyang Shuo.” This Emperor-King, all wills take the Great Xia benefit as on, is difficult to sacrifice for the personal relationships. 陈老见了,心中一叹,“欧阳朔,终究不再是以前的欧阳朔。”这位帝王,所有意志都以大夏利益为上,再难徇私情。 Can move Ouyang Shuo's, only has the benefit. 能打动欧阳朔的,也唯有利益。 „Great Xia whether to involve the Europe battlefield?” Elderly Chen no longer beats around the bush. “大夏能否介入欧洲战场？”陈老不再绕弯子。 „We and between Europe, are away from Persian Empire, the reason of really not having entered the war.” “我们跟欧洲之间,隔着一个波斯帝国,实在没有参战的理由。” „You have!” “你有！” The Elderly Chen vision is threatening, „do not forget, Great Xia Morocco Province, was taken away by Hand of White-Silver, the present is a Spain King Dynasty province.

Even if seize, as together administrative enclave, is very difficult to defend. 两人都是绝顶聪明之人,当然明白,眼下的摩洛哥行省,对大夏而言,就是各鸡肋。即便拿下,作为一块飞地,也很难守住。 Not to mention Europe, only in Continent of Africa, Morocco Province faces the threat of Egyptian King Dynasty with West Africa. 且不说欧洲,仅在非洲大陆,摩洛哥行省就面临埃及王朝跟西非的威胁。 Since is Elderly Chen comes personally, Ouyang Shuo must to the face, unable not to lift a finger to help, disclosed slightly: „The enmity of Morocco, our certain bulletin, but wants, is not a province.” 既然是陈老亲自前来,欧阳朔还是要给点面子的,不能一毛不拔,稍稍透露道:“摩洛哥之仇,我们一定会报,但要的,绝不是一个行省。” Elderly Chen spirit shakes, asked: „Does the Great Xia preparation begin to Spain King Dynasty?” If is really this, that is giving Germanic King Dynasty to break through. 陈老精神一震,问道:“大夏准备对西班牙王朝动手？”如果真是这样,那已经算是在给日耳曼王朝解围了。 Ouyang Shuo shakes the head, „I want entire North Africa.” 欧阳朔摇头,“我要整个北非。” „......” “……” Elderly Chen is speechless. 陈老无语。 North Africa is the Azure Insignia Faction Egyptian King Dynasty domain, Great Xia this is not taking advantage. 北非是湛蓝徽章阵营埃及王朝的地盘,大夏这不是在趁火打劫嘛。 „Your request extremely, Azure Insignia could not accept.” “你的要求太过,湛蓝徽章接受不了。” Elderly Chen decline. 陈老回绝。 Ouyang Shuo has the self-confidence very much, „discards North Africa, guarantees Germanic King Dynasty, this business, is very cost-effective.” 欧阳朔却很有自信,“舍弃北非,保下日耳曼王朝,这笔买卖,很划算。” „Said?” “怎么说？” „Great Xia, once receives North Africa, Arab Empire naturally will stop. Caesar King Dynasty early has the enmity with Great Xia, by the Caesar disposition, is only separated by the sea with Great Xia, but can also the wholly-absorbed Europe battlefield?” “大夏一旦接收北非,阿拉伯帝国自然就会消停。凯撒王朝跟大夏早有嫌隙,以凯撒的性格,跟大夏仅一海之隔,还能专心欧洲战场？” The Elderly Chen brow moves, this means that Great Xia receives two matches. 陈老眉头一动,这就意味着,大夏接下两个对手。 Ouyang Shuo continues saying: „Resigns North Africa, Egypt main forces may advance on Spain King Dynasty, except a match. Germanic King Dynasty by 1 vs. 3, there is a odds of success.” 欧阳朔继续说道:“让出北非,埃及大军可进击西班牙王朝,又除去一个对手。日耳曼王朝以一打三,还是有胜算的。” „This insufficient!” Elderly Chen had not agreed. “这不够！”陈老没有同意。 No doubt, did not have Spain King Dynasty with coveting of Caesar King Dynasty, the Germanic King Dynasty circumstances is greatly improved. May merely one Romanov King Dynasty, be able to press Germanic King Dynasty not to gasp for breath. 固然,没了西班牙王朝跟凯撒王朝的觊觎,日耳曼王朝的境遇得到极大改善。可仅仅一个罗曼诺夫王朝,就能压得日耳曼王朝喘不过气来。 „Persian Empire, Great Xia may also act to divert, we with Persia, an account have not calculated.” Ouyang Shuo added a chip. “波斯帝国,大夏也可出面牵制一下,我们跟波斯,还有一笔账没算呢。”欧阳朔又加了一个筹码。 Some Elderly Chen meanings move, but is dissatisfied. 陈老有些意动,但还是不满足。 Ouyang Shuo sees this, the corners of the mouth reveal teasing the happy expression, „Elderly Chen, I respect you, discussed the condition with you. In fact, Great Xia in East Africa, has million elite, something, we can also take.” 欧阳朔见此,嘴角露出一丝戏虐的笑意,“陈老,我是尊重你,才跟你谈条件。事实上,大夏在东非,有百万精锐,有些东西,我们也可以自己去取。” „......” “……” The Elderly Chen thoughts, sink the valley. 陈老的心思,一下沉到谷底。 Yes, strict, Great Xia with Azure Insignia is not only not the ally, is the enemy. If Great Xia dispatches troops to Egypt in this time, to Azure Insignia, isn't has one misfortune after another?! 是啊,严格来讲,大夏跟湛蓝徽章不仅不是盟友,还是敌人。如果大夏在此时出兵埃及,对湛蓝徽章而言,可不就是雪上加霜吗？！ Elderly Chen then realized that facing Great Xia, in his hand a chip does not have actually. 陈老这才意识到,面对大夏,他手中其实一个筹码都没有。
