Chapter 125: Self-Knowledge


The relationship between these two centaurs is so complicated and subtle.

This is only possible from an outsider's perspective. otbnkotgt It's like this now.

Two years after the operation failed.

Salile was left by Salida Khan's side.

In the summer palace of Kherson, the capital of Tronica Province, on the Black Sea coast.

In the past two years, Selilei has been adhering to the principles of being a minister.

And his performance also made Sarida Khan feel very comfortable.

He also seemed to enjoy being in the respectful company of a young man with whom he was related and who had outstanding abilities.

That's it.

And Selilei also feels good about this kind of life.

Even though he didn't have any power, he was in no hurry.

As a prince, he didn't care about the position of a cowardly centurion of the Xue Army.

By staying with Sarida Khan, he would have plenty of opportunities.

As long as you behave better and please him, then power, status, and even the throne of Khan will be within your reach.

As the son of Salida Khan, Selire knew his father's habits.

Because of this, he worked hard and tried his best to perform in front of his father.

He behaved like the image of a son that Salida Khan had in mind.

To this day, he already has a certain say in front of Salida Khan.

This made Selile very happy and he continued to work hard.

He was sitting on his knees at Sarida Khan's hands.

Of course, this was the only way a centaur could sit.

While resting quietly, he was still observing Sarida Khan’s expression.

Salile saw him smiling.

He seems to be in a good mood.

This made Selilei feel a little more relaxed.

Accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger, one must be extremely careful.

"Father Khan" Selile saw that Salida Khan had finished reading and put the information on the desk, and then asked tentatively: "What's written on it?"

"Interesting stuff."

Sarida Khan reached out and knocked on the table.

Beside him, a human maid respectfully picked up the intelligence document and sent it to Celi Lei.

Selilei quickly browsed through the contents of the file.

Then his expression changed.

What was written on it was a series of changes that had occurred in the Grand Duchy of Mazovia in recent times.

Needless to say, its protagonists are none other than the Hereford family.

The intelligence highlighted the strength of the Hereford family.

This strength is divided into two parts.

In terms of martial arts, there was the new Circassian army trained by Count Otto, and in terms of civil service, a series of new policies implemented by William.

After Selilei put down the document, his expression became not very good.

"What do you think?"

After that, Salida Khan asked.

He smiled and said to Selilei very easily.

His tone was understated, as if he didn't take the rise of the Hereford family seriously.

"The Hereford family is very dangerous.

I'm afraid they are the biggest obstacle to the Khanate's march to Mazovia."

Selile considered the words and then replied: "If the Khanate wants to conquer the human world, it must first conquer the Ostrogothic Empire. .

To conquer the Ostrogothic Empire, you must first conquer the Grand Duchy of Mazovia.

To conquer the Grand Duchy of Mazovia, you must conquer the Hereford family.”

"Yeah, that's right."

After a moment of pondering, Sarida Khan smiled and nodded.

Selilei heard that his father Khan agreed with his opinion.

I should have been happy.

But he took a moment to observe Sarida Khan's expression, but he didn't find any sign of praise, approval, or recognition.

The city of his "Father Khan" was much deeper than he imagined.

"So, what Father Khan means?"

So, Selile began to ask for advice.

This "asking for advice" was indeed partly to satisfy Salida Khan's vanity.

But at the same time, Selilei also understood that his father's knowledge, ability, and thinking were much stronger than his own.

He really had the intention to learn from Salida Khan.

Perhaps it was his sincerity that satisfied the Centaur Khan.

After Salida Khan paused, he decided to talk to Selile about something more in-depth.

"Do you think we can really conquer the whole world?"

Salida Khan asked this question unexpectedly. "" Listen to him ask this.

Selilei was immediately stunned.

When he was a child, everyone had instilled this concept in him.

Centaurs are the pride of heaven and the darling of Tengger.

The Tartariya Khanate is destined to rule the world, conquer everything, and make all the people of the four countries submit to it. feet.

No one ever questioned this ambition.

All centaurs.

Especially the young people are passionate, arrogant and confident.

They extremely recognized their own excellence and the power of the Tartariya Khanate.

He believes that compared with the powerful khanates that are at the height of their power and control hundreds of thousands of people, many kingdoms in the human world are corrupt and vulnerable.

As long as the time is right, and the Khanate army stretches out its fingers and pushes gently, the decaying human kingdoms will collapse like shabby houses.

Salilei also endorsed this theory.

Although he is much smarter than other simple-blooded, confident, and even naive centaur young people.

But he just believed that the Khanate's road to conquest was not smooth sailing.

Regarding the ultimate goal of the Khanate, he just believed that there was something wrong with the timing.

The rest is no problem.

"Isn't it, isn't it?"

So Selilei stuttered a little and asked in a confused manner.

What was beyond his expectation was that Salida Khan actually gave his own affirmative answer: "no."

""For a moment, Selilei was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

"How is that possible?"

Sarida Khan said in his usual relaxed tone: "We are restrained by powerful enemies externally, and there are also many contradictions internally.

Although we have a large number and high quality army, we cannot suppress our enemies in terms of overall quantity and quality.

At the same time, the technology and military technology of the human world are constantly improving.

The military power of human nations today is much stronger than when the Khanates rose hundreds of years ago.

And beyond that.

The population of the human world is also much larger than the population of the Khanate.

More importantly, conquering the entire human world is not in the interests of the Khanate at all.

Once a full-scale war breaks out with the human world, we will be plunged into an endless, nightmare-like protracted war.

The base of the Khanate is only so large.

The main ethnic group of the Khanate, that is, there are only so many centaurs.

We cannot control a territory that is too vast.

Even if we capture a lot of land within a certain period of time, we will have many problems due to indigestion.

We will reduce the deterrence and advantage over the vassal nation due to the losses of the main nation in the early war.

We will also have our military strength thinned by the expansion of wars and fronts.

To make matters worse, our army is not good at water warfare, woodland and mountain warfare.

This requires us to maintain a large number of human vassal troops.

We will have to give them the power and military power we have.

The wealth we accumulate will also be lost in ongoing wars.

At the same time, farming, industrial production and trade will also be destroyed due to war.

The Khanate's economy will also be in trouble.

So, in the end, do you know what the outcome will be for the Khanate?”

Selilei was almost frightened by what Salida Khan described.

He blankly continued Salida Khan's words and asked: "What will it be like" "We will suffer heavy losses.

We will perish from losing too much wealth, our centaur armies, and from allowing our human vassals to take control.

Even based on the smoothest and most optimistic projections.

We occupy a large area of ​​the human empire, and we can even occupy the entire human world.

But in the end, our result will inevitably be to be wiped out by the successive uprisings in the human world.

Eventually, we may even lose everything we have. " ""Selile still didn't know what to say.

Sarida Khan looked at his dazed look.

He sighed helplessly.

Finally, he made a concluding speech and said:

"So, I never thought about starting a full-scale war with the human world.

I also never thought about occupying the entire human world.

I would rather have a smaller, stable Tartaria with an active economy, rich products, and a strong military.

Nor do we want a huge, chaotic, uncontrollable Tartaria with armies running around every day to suppress rebellions and a collapsed economy. my son.

Do you know what I mean?"

"Ah, that, that" For a moment, Selilei still couldn't answer.

And Salida Khan did not force him.

He knew that the information that Selile received at one time was too large and too impactful.

So I can't react for now.

After a while, Selilei let out a breath.

He barely came back to his senses.

But for a moment, after thinking about this matter, the centaur prince felt a little depressed, although he looked at Sarida Khan with more admiration.

But there was also more pain.

"So, we can't conquer the whole world after all" he asked.

"Yes, we cannot conquer the whole world."

Salida Khan nodded and continued: "However, this does not mean that we will be peaceful.

My child.

Our war with the human world will still continue.

At the same time, We will continue to annex human lands, plunder their wealth, suppress them, and prevent them from developing.

However, our actions will not change in any way.

A little different" 160420oshow7:
