Yes, in this world, people's attitudes can change rapidly, especially when there are no limits.

For example, in history, Liu Bang was obviously smarter than Xiang Yu, and the former's flexibility with limits led to his eventual victory. Those who only understand stubbornness, though wise as Zhuge, ultimately end up with nothing but a heart full of effort and a tragic end.

Although "Memorial on the Campaign" became a famous essay through the ages, it is clear that switching to a more promising leader could have led to a better outcome. Considering the geopolitical situation, the wisest choice is already clear.

It's the twenty-first century, surely it's impossible to still cling to blind loyalty, right?

Not to mention, for a country, the concept of blind loyalty simply doesn't exist. Countless ideas and interests are intertwined, so even if someone is really stubborn, new forces will naturally arise internally to offer different ideas and solutions.

Adding the fact that the entire Western interest community is already a mess, it makes it even easier to make a choice.

There's an old saying in Huaxia, husbands and wives are like birds sharing the same forest, but when disaster strikes, they fly separate ways. This is probably referring to such a situation. If humans are like this, how much more so are complex large interest communities?

Adversity reveals true feelings, but the problem is there's really no true feeling between both parties. Marine civilizations have mostly gone through the brutal era of piracy, where the law of the jungle prevails.

The worship of individual heroism is the best proof of this.

So plunder is something engraved in the genes.

When times are good, the altruistic heart can run rampant, but if you can't even fill your own belly, how can you care about the life and death of others.

Therefore, the capitulation of Dongsheng was so straightforward, even before Huaxia and the opposition sorted things out in the Capital, they swiftly changed direction, which, although unexpected to many, was within reason.

After all, not all Dongsheng people have Stockholm syndrome.

But when the news reached Xilin, it truly left the instigator speechless once again.

Yes, Qiao Ze really couldn't understand how collective will could turn so quickly. Some things hadn't even begun to lay the groundwork, making it seem very irrational.

Especially after some news from Dou Dou, they learned that they now even wish to open all ports to Huaxia.

For people with normal values and kind hearts, this is quite an awkward matter. Although Qiao Ze doesn't have these two bad habits, he is ultimately a very rational person, and it's hard to influence him with emotion.

And from the most rational perspective of maximizing benefits, it's better to keep everything as it is for now.

This also once again proves that some old sayings of the ancients are indeed very true, such as the wise adapt to their circumstances.

So Qiao Ze formally arranged to talk about this topic with his father-in-law.

This wasn't even communicated over the phone, but discussed face-to-face in his study.

Of course, it was just a suggestion. If Su Lixing is persistent about his dream, after the second phase of the deep-sea unmanned cluster deployment is completed, enough geological data can still be collected, and the task can still be completed as originally planned.

The final discussion results naturally made Su Lixing heave a sigh of relief.

In fact, some dreams don't necessarily need to be completed. Not to mention the huge disturbance his dream would cause and how passive it would become, the key is that it would cause a huge waste.

All those explorers and carriers painstakingly sent into the water, which could have been scattered across the oceans to complete more tasks, ended up self-destructing, just thinking about it is heartbreaking.

After all, the design life of the first batch of deep-sea cluster products was as long as ten years, and to waste it after just over two years is indeed not worthwhile. Better to let them be like the Sword of Damocles hanging over the opposition's head, keeping them constantly on edge.

A win-win situation.

Furthermore, Dongsheng Island's sudden targeted compliance also made the entire environment surrounding Huaxia become very harmonious.

When many large ships flying the Huaxia flag began collaborating with the unmanned deep-sea clusters in various marine research tasks, things started to change again.

Yet many people are still observing.

After all, just a month ago, the West University openly sent heavyweight representatives to the Capital to begin long-term negotiations. As of now, neither side has responded, but the representatives sent by the West University have not returned.

Which is something extremely rare in the history of humankind.

The fact that the West University sent important figures on a long journey to the East University closed-door discussion for a month without returning or issuing any statement naturally left countless people feeling anxious.

This is even more unsettling to many interest communities than both sides exchanging harsh words or even engaging directly in conflict, leaving them cold all over.

The East University is not that bad, but the West University is very intimidating. They once unabashedly declared that you either sit at the table or are laid on the table.

In fact, given the current situation, if the East University and the West University really decide to sit at the table together, they truly have the capability and qualification to put everything else on Earth on the table.

So even if there's no worry about the East University, there's fear that the West University might lead the East University astray!

Thus, as the negotiations between both sides continue without conclusion, the number of representatives from major world interest communities visiting the Capital has been increasing.
