Wearing a gray tunic suit and simple, Mr. David, who only had the emperor's badge tied on his chest, walked forward. When he arrived at the speaking table, he bowed to the emperor and then to the people, with meticulous etiquette.

Everyone smiled and looked at him, this blond and blue-eyed Hong Mao Fan. This is an important minister of the empire, Junchun gentleman, he has no personal enemy in the empire!

With his achievements, he was able to cover his upper body with the medal as a bulletproof vest. He could wear a distinguished marshal uniform and two ribbons---the Imperial Navy Marshal was a blue broad-brimmed ribbon, and the Field Marshal was a yellow. The broad-brimmed ribbon, left and right hands will not be idle, holding the marshal's scepter of the navy and the army.

He is the only dual marshal of the navy and army in the South China Empire, and the first-class duke of the empire. He is hereditary!

But people are not jealous of him, because he created the empire for his great achievements. He is only the emperor’s personal chief of staff and senior adviser. He has the title of a member of the Central Military Commission, but he has no real power. He is more of a role as a firefighter. , Go to the place or the front of the army to work, solve problems, return to the court after fighting, hand over power, and serve as a staff member to the emperor in his spare time.

In commanding battleship formations, Yan Changwu himself admits that Mr. David’s commanding ability is not inferior to him; as for commanding the army, he can make those unruly military officers obedient. You must know that some of these military officers are from the army of Ming Dynasty. Killing thieves is like hemp, some are godsons of the Eight Great Kings, killing people like hemp, and some are the subordinates of King Li Chuang, who overthrew Qianming. Many people walked out of Qianming’s corpse mountain with eyes high above the top. Everyone actually carried out his orders; he governed the place and allowed the lawless tribal chiefs of Egypt to kiss his boots, and North African pirates bowed their heads to his ears.

His position is respected, but because he is not in power, those who attack him and say, "If you are not my race, their hearts will be different", they are not true. In addition, he is proficient in Chinese culture and is a rare master of Chinese culture in the South China Empire. People speculate that he should be the reincarnation of a certain power in China!

What Mr. David said was "Analysis of the situation in the Middle East and strategies for ruling!"

He once fought in the Ottoman Empire, Syria, Egypt, North Africa and other places, and then became the governor, and he had a say in those places.

"Their creed is'I oppose my brother, my brother and I oppose my cousin, and I, my brother and my cousin oppose the world together'!" Mr. David's words caught everyone's attention from the beginning. This is really a different region, completely different from the Chinese people's creed!

They listened carefully to his analysis, thinking about the rule of the Middle East.

Mr. David’s prestige in the Middle East is not only that he can fight and kill a lot of people, so that it will not be convincing. He can become a legend in the Middle East by no means an understatement. He is one of the few fluent local languages. He not only regarded himself as a ruler, but often he became an old friend of the local people. He was dressed in casual clothes, and he was able to mingle with the local people wherever he went, from the elders of the tribes to the commoners of the tribes. , No matter which tribe, he talked and laughed happily with those people.

Because he respects them, he can wear local costumes, understand local customs, know the local culture, live the life of the locals, get rid of prejudices, observe, analyze, and summarize the locals from a fair perspective. The internal laws of society can truly understand what the other party is thinking, instead of taking it for granted.

With such a targeted, his rule was successful, and to a certain extent, he became the man! "

"The internal warfare in the Middle East has remained unchanged for thousands of years. It is actually the most traditional tribal melee. Other forces, whether the Crusaders before, the Ottomans, and us now, are simply involved. Go in a tribal melee." Mr. David pointed out sharply.

"This kind of tribal melee is part of the conventional social structure in the Middle East. The formation of this social structure has its inherent causes, and it has a great relationship with the humanities, historical memories, social traditions, and even the climate, precipitation, and topography of the local society. If we regard the Middle East as an organism, then this melee is itself an organ of this organism.

Other outsiders, no matter how self-proclaimed God’s people are like Europeans, no matter how powerful the firepower is like us, any attempt to forcefully change this social structure will inevitably end in failure. Some of them, other parts will become your hindrance, because they are organically related to each other. "

"The Ottomans know this very well. They rule those tribes. There are several red lines. One red line is that those tribes cannot oppose the Ottoman Empire and cannot antagonize the Ottomans. The second red line is that the tribes have to pay taxes. When the Ottomans need them, the tribes have Send troops to help, that's all! And the Ottomans have also set a red line for themselves, that is, the Ottomans do not participate in the daily management of the tribe. In the Middle East, it is extremely wrong to intervene in the affairs of other tribes, and it is generally not accepted. Yes, the well water is not allowed to violate the river water. This is an invisible but real red line, insurmountable!"

"Don't expect to change them. We Chinese people say that man will conquer the sky, and the tribes think that whoever is poor and rich is the will of God. For example, if you give them money, they will not thank you. They have to thank their God! Yes! Their god, give them money from us stupid Chinese.” (Mr. David’s words sparked a chuckle)

"You can say that they don't know good or bad, but they talk about tribal affairs, tribal affairs, what kind of onion are you Chinese?"

"The Ottomans succeeded because they didn't trample on those red lines. If they didn't do it, then they would also be in flames everywhere, eighteen families against the king, thirty-six roads of smoke and dust!"

"The ministers’ governance in the Middle East also follows these red line principles, respects local tribes, asks them to pay taxes, sends people, and we Chinese who don’t obey will beat them, grab their belongings and women, but don’t interfere with them. Not only did they not oppose us, they also said that we were on the road. Of course, don’t think that the tribe is so obedient. The minister also grasped an important creed of the tribe, that is, “Strong things”!” Mr. David said.

"You must be strong. As long as you are strong, they will listen to you. Every tribe does not reject a powerful subject. This strong subject can be another tribe, it can be a crusader, it can be an Ottoman, it can be us Chinese, when this subject calls on it to send troops to war, as long as you share some of its spoils ~lightnovelpub.net~ to benefit them, it is also willing to obey you, kneel and kowtow to say long live these are not a problem, but if you want Intervene in the internal affairs of the tribe, I'm sorry, but you didn't discuss it." Mr. David pointed out.

What the tribe needs is a power that can be vassalized, not a stigmatizing thing within their tribe. Whoever tries to do this has become a public enemy of the whole people. First, the Ottomans, and then us, are all effective. It fills the niche of "power to depend on," and it is naturally not disadvantageous.

"For the tribe, the one who is bigger than me is the mighty power, and we have to be this mighty power."

"They don’t have a national concept, only a tribal concept. These tribes usually do their own things and take care of their own profits and losses. Even under our banner, they often fight against each other and fight against each other. You don’t care about them, let them fight for life, don’t go. It is a waste of time to decide who is right and who is wrong. As long as the winning side does not swell on its own, it will still listen to you. If he does not listen to you, you can slap him, otherwise don’t make a move. It’s a waste of time."

Mr. David said, the content was informative and informative, the number of words was not filled with water at all, and it was full of dry goods, and everyone listened with gusto!
