In fact, Ye Chunqiu had no answer in his heart.??

But now, Ye Chunqiu’s purpose is very clear, that is, to take over Central Asia.

Why did Ye Chunqiu focus on Central Asia? Because Central Asia is the center of the world island, taking it down is the beginning of Ye Chunqiu's real ambition to hegemony.

Of course, there is no doubt that the difficulty here will inevitably be extremely great.

After the Industrial Revolution, most of the empires at sea were produced, which is understandable, because the establishment of empires at sea was the simplest and least expensive. They only needed to control one port after another, link them up, and ensure deterrence to the states, and hegemony naturally arises.

Just like later generations, as long as Britain controlled the Suez Canal and Gibraltar, it would be equivalent to controlling the entire Mediterranean. As long as it controlled Malacca, it would be equivalent to ensuring the waterways between the Indian Ocean and the South China Sea. If anyone violated the interests of the British, then the British navy could pass through Gibraltar and the Suez Canal from the British mainland, and then to various colonies along the way for supply, ensuring that it had sufficient strike capabilities directly.

But if you want to completely control the world island, the manpower and material resources are ten or a hundred times that of this marine empire.

Of course... under great risks and difficulties, the benefits must be huge, and it can make the foundation of Lu more stable.

In history, Europe did not have the hegemony of the world island, but it may not be because the empire's strength was not enough to open up the world island. To put it bluntly, it was just because the great powers formed the world's largest navy. If we wanted to establish the hegemony of the sixth, it would be interfered by France and Tsarist Russia. France had the most powerful 6 armies, but it was often checked and balanced by the British, supporting various countries and preventing them from advancing westward. Tsarist Russia had a territory of tens of miles and had always coveted the world island, but was united by Britain and France. A Crimean War directly cut off their sharp claws.

But now, the situation in Lu is completely different. The current Lu State is the only predecessor in the world. If nothing unexpected happens, Ye Chunqiu even believes that it will be difficult to have an opponent that can match it in the next few decades.

So theoretically speaking, the current situation is the greatest strategic opportunity period for Ye Chunqiu to practice his hegemony goals.

By taking down Central Asia, going south to India, establishing rule, and moving westward into Africa, you can dominate the African Great Six and even control the entire Mediterranean.

The British navy became weak, so the colonies rush to be independent, but Ye Chunqiu thought that the hegemony of the 6th route would be more lasting.

Therefore, while Ye Chunqiu was preparing for the war to advance west, he ordered people to call Ye Maocai of King Wei of Lu.

After this period of hard work, the first backbone of King Wei of Lu had been established, and the Beizhen Fushi gradually began to penetrate into various confidential matters in Shandong, but this was only the responsibility of the 1,000 household office. Now, it is naturally time to strike while the iron is hot and create the 2,000 household office.

Ye Maocai is not a fledgling person, and his vision is far away. Of course, he can realize that what King Wei of Lu will bear will be a greater responsibility than before.

But when Ye Mao had just entered the public housing, he saw Ye Chunqiu holding his hands and looking at a map on the wall, looking at the huge map, and countless marks were already made of it, which was very conspicuous.

These were obviously new marks, and Ye Maocai instantly understood that the tasks he would accept must be very important next.

The movement of Ye Maocai coming in broke Ye Chunqiu's vision and thoughts. He was still quietly looking at the map, with all his thoughts, so Ye Maocai stood by silently, waiting for Ye Chunqiu to fall.

After a long time, Ye Chunqiu looked up at Ye Maocai, his eyes became meaningful and said, "Remember what I said, Maocai, I once said, King Lu Wei is both internal and external, do you still remember?"

Ye Maocai's face was solemn and said, "I remember it in a humble way."

Ye Chunqiu continued: "This second thousand household office is still just a framework, right? I will tell you the truth that a few days ago, the small cabinet was expected to establish a security bureau."

Ye Maocai frowned. He had heard of this news before, but the news had not been completely announced, it was just some rumors in the market.

The cabinet is in charge of various departments and bureaus, but the security bureau is said to have a different function. This is the agency directly responsible for the small cabinet. It is said that the person in charge is Yang Kun, but Yang Kun is not an ordinary person...

It is said that this person was originally a member of the Jinyiwei. Ye Maocai had inquired, but he failed to find out what position this person had held in the Jinyiwei. It is said that only the commander of the Jinyiwei knew about this person. At first, he was seconded from the Jinyiwei, but for some reason, he had a good relationship with Ye Chunqiu, so he simply quit his job as an officer. He was outside the pass and was originally an adviser in the army.

This person is indeed very good at it. It is said that he understands the language of seven or eight countries. Not only that, he is also smart and capable. During the last interrogation of the Nanzhen Fushi Department, he made a lot of efforts and gave many new tricks.

Moreover, this person's personality has always been dull, taciturn, never speaks very much, and is unwilling to get close to others. Many people in the army have a bad relationship with him. Many people privately say that this guy is like a dead person. Although he is standing by your side, he gives people an inexplicable chill.

Speaking of the institution that Ye Chunqiu was preparing to establish, it was called the Security Bureau, and the candidate for the director has been rumored that it was Yang Kun again, which made Ye Mao, who had always been cautious and keen, become alert.

The responsibilities of the Security Bureau are most likely to be overlapping with King Lu, and that will be a competitive relationship.

Now that it has been confirmed from Ye Chunqiu's mouth, Ye Maocai naturally felt a little uncomfortable, but he still forced a smile and said, "Safety Bureau?"

Ye Chunqiu looked at Ye Maocai deeply and said, "Their responsibilities can be said to be the same as you. The Security Bureau also has two departments in the North and South. Your Nangongfu of the King of Lu is under the responsibility of the Supervisor Deng, and this Security Bureau is under the responsibility of the small cabinet. However, your Northerngongfu of the King of the King is under the direct dispatch of the King. I believe that if I don't say it, you know that you are personal guards, so you must not let those who crow and robbers sneak in. This requires a Security Bureau, which is under the responsibility of Yang Kun, and all the staff are under him. The funds required will be allocated from the treasury by the small cabinet."

"You must be very unhappy, right?" Ye Chunqiu smiled.

Ye Maocai lost his mind and hurriedly said, "I dare not be humble."8
