Chapter 1045 A Repeat Of History

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Xu Shangfeng's neutrality, Perhaps it could not be considered to be a real re-alignment, but there was already this trend. Moreover, he chose to be neutral and not help Lin Qingtian. This also affected the attitude of Xu Dongping, another member of the Standing Committee of the Imperial Policy Bureau. At the very least, at this stage, the two of them acted as if they had nothing to do with each other. It was the greatest help to the southern faction and the king faction.

Lin Xuanyuan chose to return home at this time. If he wanted to make a move against those martial arts forces and give them a reminder, it would definitely be a good choice.

"If you go back now, the empire will probably be even more lively."

Wang Fuyu smiled and sighed. "Unfortunately, I'm going to the United States soon. Otherwise, I really plan to go back to the empire to watch a good show."

"What good show can there be? It's nothing more than killing people and preventing fire. You're no stranger to this kind of thing than me. Aren't you tired of it?"

Lin Xuanyuan smiled as he raised his glass. The glass was filled with Wang Jinxiu's white wine. It was less than half a cup or two. It might not be satisfying to drink, but that was the main meaning.

After the three of them drank it all in one gulp, Lin Xuanyuan took a sip and suddenly asked, "Xu Shangfeng is neutral. Is there any cheating?"

"There's cheating? No."

Wang Fuyu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with certainty and said, "What is this?" Xu Shangfeng's neutrality is only good for us. There's no harm in it. As for the Seamless Dao, that's even more ridiculous. Not to mention the fact that the royal and southern factions haven't taken the initiative to recruit Xu Shangfeng, even if they do, what if Xu Shangfeng comes to us or goes to the southern faction? What would happen to him in the end, "I don't dare to guarantee it. Furthermore, imperial politics doesn't have the conditions to play the Seamless Dao. Everyone is closely linked together. Both glory and loss are at stake. I really don't believe that Xu Shangfeng will be able to draw a large number of people from the royal or southern factions to join the southwest faction. If this is also possible, then what's the difference between a family?"

Lin Xuanyuan pondered for a moment. He nodded, agreeing with Xu Shangfeng's words. At least now, Xu Shangfeng remained neutral. It really wasn't bad for the royal family, On the contrary, there are only boundless interests, If the two giants of the southwestern faction were to stay out of this, The royal family already had the authority to speak in the empire, eroding the strength of the southwestern faction, Suppressing Lin Qingtian's influence, These things were even more handy to do, And under these circumstances, The possibility of the southern faction gaining benefits from fishing in troubled waters was also the greatest. Therefore, both the Wang faction and the southern faction wished for the southern faction to maintain such a state. If there were any signs of relaxation between Xu Shangfeng and Lin Qingtian, they would take the initiative to do something to deepen the conflict between the two of them. Or, they could give Xu Shangfeng benefits to stabilize him.

Lin Xuanyuan's heart skipped a beat. He suddenly felt that Xu Shangfeng's current situation looked familiar no matter how he looked at it. Thinking carefully, wasn't this the situation of the royal family in the past twenty years?

His eyes narrowed as if he was deep in thought.

If the current Divine Continent Empire was compared to the entire world, then the current Xu Shangfeng would undoubtedly be equivalent to the royal family of the past 20 years.

The current King Element was equivalent to the United States.

The southern faction played the role of the Snow Nation.

The southwest faction was more like the Divine Continent Empire of the past twenty years.

In this way, the situation became clear.

In the past two decades, Or rather, after the emperor was expelled from the Divine Continent, Before the war officially broke out with the United States, the relationship between the royal family and the United States had always been very good. In the past 20 years, the three successive presidents of the United States, including the current Yurisses, had a good relationship with the Emperor before the war officially started. At the very least, they could maintain a friendly and harmonious relationship on the surface.

The geographical position of the royal family was extremely special, In the Divine Continent Empire, between Snow Country and Japan, There was a faint feeling of being a country of its own, With the Emperor and Rothschild on good terms, The imperial family's connections in Europe were almost unimpeded. As long as the emperor was willing to pay, the various European technologies were basically not kept secret from the imperial family. Large amounts of military equipment were increasing in the imperial family, and the strength of the imperial family was rapidly expanding. In this state, the imperial family quickly entered the vision of the United States.

The United States was very interested in the royal family, which looked powerful but was actually full of dangers. After the establishment of the royal family, the United States was the first superpower to invite the emperor to visit. This showed its sincerity.

The emperor had had many secret discussions with the three presidents. The three presidents' ideas were completely the same. The United States was willing to give the royal family some limited assistance. They hoped that the royal family would not approach the Snow Kingdom and the Divine Continent Empire.

The royal family had just been driven out of the Divine Continent Empire, The empire didn't give the royal family enough face, with the Emperor 's temperament, Naturally, he was too lazy to go back, And the land he lived on, Although it was bought in the hands of the Snow Nation, But in reality, it was equivalent to half buying and half robbing, The warring peoples valued their land very much, In order to obtain this 70,000-square-kilometer island, the Emperor had joined forces with many European countries to exert pressure on the Snow Kingdom. Rothschild had also exerted great efforts in this area. After many people had died, the Snow Kingdom had gritted its teeth and signed a land transfer agreement. Naturally, the relationship between the Emperor and the Snow Kingdom could not be said to be a genuine exchange of heart.

How similar was Xu Shangfeng's current situation?

Xu Shangfeng's fate was unpredictable and full of dangers. He was the emperor who had just been expelled from the Divine Continent Empire.

In a short period of time, it was impossible for him to return to the southwest faction, just like the Emperor did not have enough face to return to the Divine Continent Empire.

The southern faction was the Snow Nation.

Before Lin Qingtian, After Xue Zhiguo, the former leader of the southern faction had served as the highest leader of the empire for five years. Xu Shangfeng's current position was originally decided by the southern faction. At that time, the plan of the southern faction was to have another powerful figure from the southern faction fight for the position of Xu Shangfeng as the spiritual civilization committee and Yang Xiuyuan for the position of prime minister.

Yang Xiuyuan had obtained his position, but Xu Shangfeng had lost his position. The southwest faction had snatched it away and gave it to Xu Shangfeng. This could be said to be the biggest failure of the southern faction in recent years. Naturally, they would not like Xu Shangfeng.

At this time, the royal family was like the United States that year, wanting to curry favor with Xu Shangfeng. However, the first thing they wanted to do was to ensure that Xu Shangfeng would not return to the southwest faction, nor would he get too close to the south faction.

This was similar to the fact that the United States was willing to give some assistance to the royal family and did not want the Emperor to be too close to the Snow Kingdom and the Divine Continent Empire.

Behind Xu Shangfeng was the political connections he had accumulated over the years, as well as several alternate members of the Empire's Central Committee Member and Center, and even the entire Southwest City. Even if Xu Shangfeng really did leave the stage in the future, the people he had brought with him could still be preserved.

Behind the emperor back then, there were more than 70,000 square kilometers of land, as well as extremely powerful military strength and connections in Europe.

Even the three great factions of the empire were the same as the Snow Kingdom, the United States, and the Divine Continent.

At that time, if the royal family was willing to return to the Divine Continent Empire, the Divine Continent Empire would definitely raise its hands in support, just like Lin Qingtian would definitely not refuse to reconcile with Xu Shangfeng.

The Snow Kingdom was also very happy to accept the emperor's refuge. That land was originally theirs. As long as the royal family returned, not to mention the return of the land, they would bring a lot of technology to strengthen the Snow Kingdom. Only an idiot would not be willing to do so.

This was the same as the current southern faction.

The position of Xu Shangfeng was originally decided by the southern faction. If Xu Shangfeng was willing to join the southern faction, this position would be equivalent to returning. Furthermore, there was a possibility of further progress next year. As for the core high-ranking officials he brought, they could also increase the strength of the southern faction, Yang Xiuyuan naturally welcomed them very much.

As for the United States, because it was too far away from the imperial clan, it had lost its position. It could only probe step by step. First, it guaranteed that the imperial clan would not be roped in by the Divine Continent Empire and the Snow Kingdom, and then it was plotting something else.

The current royal clan had a deep grudge with the southwest faction. Many high-ranking officials and Xu Shangfeng also had conflicts. If they lost their peace, they could only probe step by step.

Back in the United States, The first step was to maintain a distance between the royal family and the Snow Nation and the Divine Continent Empire, The second step was to rope in the royal family and make it an ally of the United States. As long as the royal family chose to stand on the opposite side of the Divine Continent Empire and the Snow Kingdom, the United States would give the royal family a lot of assistance and base itself on the foundation of the country.

Now, the first step of the royal clan was to hope that Xu Shangfeng would not choose to return to the southwest faction or join the south faction. The second step was to hope that Xu Shangfeng would join the royal family and form an alliance with the royal family, so that Xu Shangfeng's strength could become an outer force of the royal family. If Xu Shangfeng agreed, the royal family would also give Xu Shangfeng assistance and even give him the capital to set up his own family.

In this way, Xu Shangfeng did not even need to worry about his own fate, just like when the emperor agreed to the United States, there would be no ups and downs in the past 20 years, but also no burning passion.

Exactly the same.

The international situation twenty years ago was actually so similar to the empire twenty years later. Lin Xuanyuan couldn't even find anything different.

This is a complete repetition of history.

After all, he had joined the royal family for a shorter time, so he could see all of this more calmly from the sidelines.

The onlookers were clear, as if this was the case.

Many years ago, the conflict between the royal family and the Divine Continent Empire, the Snow Kingdom, and the United States had ultimately benefited the Divine Continent Empire and the royal family greatly.

What about the current Xu Shangfeng?

What choice would he make?

Were Lin Qingtian and Xu Shangfeng intentionally replicating the situation in the empire twenty years ago?

Or was it accidentally caused?

Lin Xuanyuan instinctively became vigilant. Almost at the moment he thought of this, he smelled a trace of conspiracy.

If Lin Qingtian and Xu Shangfeng had planned everything together, then there would definitely be an even more unusual method of operation afterwards.

Lin Xuanyuan wasn't sure of anything, but he had a big question mark in his heart about Xu Shangfeng breaking off with Lin Qingtian.
