Chapter 807: The Most Important of Priorities

No one expected this.

Ling Chen's pace came to a halt.

Omar of the Putu Dynasty was so anxious he couldn't stand it.

It looked like the rhythm was set to unify all of Central Asia, so why stop? No soldiers? We'll give them to you! We'll provide reinforcements. No money? We'll give it to you. No Weaponry and Equipment? We'll give those to you too!

Isn't that just how war works?

When everyone gathers firewood, the flames rise high!

As long as you finish the fight, you just need to share the cake with us.

Yet Ling Chen indicated that he would not fight anymore.

"Our East India Company is here to do business, here to engage in trade. We came with the intention of uniting the land of Central Asia, opening up trade routes, and coordinating friendly relations between nations. I, Ling Chen, was sent by my Young Master to maintain world peace, not to fight wars, nor to destroy nations and establish new ones."

Are you sure it is like this?

Then why did you destroy the Kokand Khanate?

Remember the website rg

Once these words were spoken.

Everyone was speechless.

Soon, after Ling Chen finished dividing the cake, he returned to the Indian Continent.

Next.

However.

No one dared to ask, and it didn't matter.

He really was here to do business!

He really wasn't here to fight a war!

The few small Central Asian nations, who had been trembling with fear, finally let their hanging hearts drop.

Good heavens.

"What does the Young Master mean by this? Just finish the fight; I was just about to take the whole of Central Asia for him!"

He did not understand.

Following that, the diplomatic missions of various countries came to pay court once again.

Ling Chen sat in his room, listening to the bustling courtyard, his face full of impatience.

Appearing by Ling Chen's side at this moment was a Strategist sent this time by the Liangzhou Prefecture.

His name was Guo Chao.

It was hard to understand.

"General, this won't do. The Young Master said, 'When the moon is full, it begins to wane.' We still need to leave some living space for these Central Asian natives."

Some people were truly here to seek knowledge.

But some came carrying a belly full of talent. They were already gifted individuals; with a little polishing, they could realize their grand ambitions and be of great use, and Guo Chao was such a person. Most importantly, this thin, weak lad was a student of Qingyang!

In present-day Liangzhou, with the Liangzhou Academy and the Military Academy recruiting simultaneously, countless scholars from all over the Longyan Empire came to join, instantly creating a magnificent scene of talent gushing forth. This was something no one could envy enough. In most parts of Longyan, where they still practiced the recommendation system and elite individuals were still shackled within a small circle, Liangzhou gave many grassroots experts room to perform.

With Liangzhou like this, who wouldn't like it?

Even Liu Dahao had to consult Qingyang's opinion when encountering major events.

Being able to make Qingyang admit to others that someone was his disciple already spoke volumes about Guo Chao's talent.

This made Ling Chen hold him in high regard.

One must know that Qingyang's status in Liangzhou today could be said to be second only to one, and above ten thousand.

In his view, just kill and be done with it.

Give him one year, and taking the whole of Central Asia would be no problem.

"'When the moon is full, it begins to wane'?"

Ling Chen glanced at Guo Chao, quite puzzled.

Ling Chen frowned.

This was where people's understanding of Geography differed.

Guo Chao smiled: "General, there are many races in Central Asia, and internal conflicts are constant. Although we now control the Indian Continent, in reality, the hidden dangers within have not been completely eliminated. Those governors are still watching to see what our company will bring to India this time. Secondly, the Ottoman Empire suffered a setback in Central Asia this time, and they will surely have ulterior motives upon returning. The Ottoman Empire just suffered a huge loss in Europe and is in urgent need of a great battle to prove its status as a major power. Furthermore, this place of Central Asia is not far from Europe. In recent years, several superpowers have emerged in Europe, and they are also eyeing the Middle East with covetous eyes. We have to be on guard."

"What?"

He found it easy to accept this knowledge and was willing to believe, analyze, and plan.

Europe.

Guo Chao was brought up by Qingyang himself. He possessed super intelligence, and with Qingyang holding the World Map drawn by Liu Zheng and teaching him slowly, it could be said that he was the person in Longyan today, other than Liu Zheng, who understood the concept of the globe the best.

The reason for choosing Guo Chao was that he was young, and he was full of curiosity and capacity for accepting any new things.

Since he was a child, he had been full of yearning for these new worlds.

It was just that Longyan had always been unable to extricate itself from the concept of being the "Celestial Empire," and domestic records of these places were also very scarce.

When Guo Chao first came into contact with this fresh term, he felt his whole being was excited.

A new world?

This was also the reason why he came to Liangzhou.

And it was the reason why he came to Central Asia from Liangzhou without hesitation.

He wanted to understand, but could only find some scattered words in unofficial books to read.

But it was not enough.

Ling Chen continued to be shocked.

He knew how powerful the Ottoman Empire was; to be able to defeat the Ottomans, that was definitely not a small country.

He wanted to follow by Ling Chen's side to take a look at the edge of this new world.

"Europe, you mean the Ottoman, was defeated by Europe?"

Ling Chen jumped up all of a sudden, his face full of disbelief: "We avoid their sharp edge? Hahahaha, we avoid their sharp edge? Just a bunch of barbarians, and we avoid their sharp edge?"

He did not believe it!

Guo Chao laughed and said: "It is more than that! General, this Europe is now the maritime hegemon of the entire world, extremely arrogant! According to what the young master said, in future wars, naval battles will account for a large proportion! As for us now, we must temporarily avoid their sharp edge."

"What did you say?"

They still need to avoid the sharp edge of other countries?

Ridiculous!

Long Yan is the Celestial Empire, the center of the universe!

The strongest in the world, with ten thousand nations paying homage!

Guo Chao nodded.

"Impossible, impossible, how could the young master boost others' morale and destroy his own prestige! This is absolutely impossible!"

Guo Chao smiled faintly, noncommittal.

Ling Chen was flustered and exasperated for a while, then continued to look over: "You are saying, these were the young master's original words?"

Europe?

Is there really such a powerful place?

Ling Chen still did not believe it.

But how could he doubt the young master's words?

The more powerful they are, the more he likes it!

As long as they are not like this bunch of cowards in Central Asia!

Suddenly, a scorching, brilliant light flashed in his eyes.

However.

"Then, Military Advisor, you mean we..."

Ling Chen took a deep breath.

What he likes is a powerful opponent!

What he likes is something that is a challenge!

Ling Chen had a look of confusion again.

"Spice?"

Guo Chao took out a map he was carrying and smiled: "General, next, there are two things. First, open up this trade route to India as quickly as possible, and build the Factory as quickly as possible. Second, in the name of the company, begin to gradually control the Spice business in the Central Asia region and even further continents!"

Guo Chao nodded: "Spice, this is the most important of the most important!"

The most important of the most important!

This is the most important aspect for competing with the European continent!
