In Xu Yun's future.
Whenever people brought up the Cane Country Missile Crisis, they often described Mr. Ka of Cane Country as "Latin America's Li Zicheng."
Cane Country itself had no connection whatsoever to the Red Camp. The main reason it cooperated with the Bear was that Across the sea's Li Zicheng had driven it into a dead end.
With no other choice, it could only throw open the Shanhai Pass.
But in Xu Yun's view,
there were some problems with that comparison. For example, if the Bear was the Tartars, what did that make the Rabbits, who were also part of the Red Camp?
And Mr. Ka was far more capable than Li Zicheng. His ability to balance competing political forces would have ranked among the best of the twentieth century.
So Xu Yun thought that instead of calling him Latin America's Li Zicheng, it was more accurate to say he was like Bruno.
As mentioned earlier,

Back then, he'd been persecuted by the official church. By a stroke of luck, he'd encountered Copernicus's heliocentric theory and realized that it happened to complement his own beliefs.
So he began promoting heliocentrism. It looked as though he'd sacrificed himself for the truth, but in reality, he'd never come close to touching it.
Cane Country's situation was much the same, except that Mr. Ka's fate was far better than Bruno's.

At the same time, when An Ran heard the news Xu Yun had just dropped, his heart tightened.
An Ran's strategic insight couldn't compare with that of the few strategic masterminds at the very top. But as one of the staff officers in the
