Chapter 502: Meeting

After Yi Xingchen returned to Reunion, the first thing he did was to contact Yan Zhong. Their safety is also Yi Xingchen's greatest concern, he wants to meet Yan Zhong before the army of the Reunion government finds Yan Zhong and them, so that Yan Zhong and their appearance in Reunion is reasonable, and the attack on the Reunion military port has nothing to do with Xinghua Island.

Yan Zhong and the others hid in the mountainous area in the central part of Reunion, in this mountainous area, the Xinghua special task force found a secret place that is particularly suitable for hiding, this location has the characteristics of easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is located in a remote and barren area, and it is generally inaccessible. Therefore, Yan Zhong and thousands of soldiers of the Xinghua Army were temporarily hiding here, waiting for Yi Xingchen's contact and getting further orders.

In order not to alarm anyone who was interested in paying attention to their actions, Yi Xingchen himself did not go to Yan Zhong personally, but sent Yan En to determine Yan Zhong's location first, and then, under the leadership of Yan En, he secretly went to the place where Yan Zhong was and met him.

However, when Yi Xingchen finally saw Yan Zhong, he was not completely relieved. Although seeing that Yan Zhong was safe and sound could indeed make Yi Xingchen feel at ease, at the same time, Yi Xingchen learned that the casualties of the Xinghua Army were actually not small at all.

Yan Zhong finally saw Yi Xingchen, and then he told Yi Xingchen in detail with a solemn face what they had encountered when they attacked the military port of Reunion.

Although, in the end, the military port of Reunion was indeed badly damaged as they wished, but at the same time, the Xinghua army was damaged. It also exceeded their expectations - 53 Xinghua soldiers were killed and more than 300 were wounded. More importantly, if it weren't for the fact that Xinghua had a large number of high-potency potions and had been prepared for it, it is likely that the casualties would not have been more than this level. At the same time, these soldiers may not be able to leave the battlefield smoothly, and hide here in the central mountains to wait for Yi Xingchen's response.

Yi Xingchen listened to Yan Zhong's exposition in silence throughout the whole process, and never said a word, until he listened to the whole part, and he did not say a word. It wasn't that he blamed Yan Zhong in his heart, but he put himself in his shoes and imagined the treacherous situation that Yan Zhong and the others encountered.

But the matter has come to this point, and Yi Xingchen doesn't want to think about it too much. The most important thing at the moment is to let these extremely tired soldiers go to a safe place and have a good rest.

Therefore, Yi Xingchen immediately opened the space passage and ordered all the Xinghua troops to retreat back to the Xinghua Kingdom from the space passage.

An hour later, the thousands of Xinghua soldiers who attacked the Alexandria military port. Just leaving Blue Mercury without leaving behind, it was as if it had disappeared into thin air. After that, the military of Rénia, even if they got any evidence, wanted to find these Xinghua soldiers who attacked their military port, and it became a whimsical thing.

This is Yi Xingchen's plan, one comes. As a member of the parliament, he naturally entered the territory of Reunion from Xinghua Island, and it became a normal fact for him to appear here; Yan Zhong is Yi Xingchen's entourage, since Yi Xingchen came to Reunion, it is natural for Yan Zhong to appear here; third, even if the Reunion government gets any information and comes to inquire again, whether the people of Xinghua Island are indeed the initiators of this war, it is impossible to determine that Xinghua Island has sent troops into the territory of Reunion.

In this attack on the Reunion Navy, Yan Zhong made a great contribution. Yan Zhong said that he did not reveal his identity, and Yi Xingchen appointed him the head of the Reunion station of Xinghua Kingdom.

Quickly returning to Xinghua Manor, Yi Xingchen received a call from Russell again, and the parliament convened members to convene an emergency meeting.

Yi Xingchen rushed to the parliament building again, and at the door of the parliament building, he met Russell.

"What the hell is going on, and what is the specific situation?" Yi Xingchen asked.

"Alexandria Harbor has been attacked by unknown forces and suffered heavy losses!" replied Russell solemnly.

"Is this going to be a war?" Yi Xingchen exclaimed.

"This is war! The government has reached a consensus that as long as we identify the enemy who will attack the military port, we will retaliate against them with an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. Russell obviously didn't know that Yi Xingchen was related to the attack on Alexandria Harbor, so he was right to treat Yi Xingchen as if he was a confidant and friend, and he vomited bitterness to Yi Xingchen. At this time, he said, with a gritted tooth expression on his face, as if if the leader of the enemy army stood in front of him at this time, Russell would inevitably tear the other party to pieces.

However, Russell really never expected that the person he hated in his heart would indeed stand in front of him, and act as his listener as if it was none of his business.

When Yi Xingchen heard this, he was worried and said, "If there is a war, will it affect trade?"

"Sure enough, it's a businessman, ala......s," Russell lamented. In fact, Russell himself did not like war. A war happening affects a lot of things, and a lot of things get out of control. However, Russell is the president, he represents a country, and he will not casually have a heart-to-heart conversation with Yi Xingchen.

"President, please rest assured, I will definitely support your decision!" Yi Xingchen saw this and hurriedly said. Reunion is in chaos now, and Yi Xingchen doesn't want Russell to really suspect him. It's going to be a big loss for him. Therefore, Yi Xingchen has always played the role of a pure businessman throughout the whole process of meeting Russell this time, or deliberately discarded any other connections, just so that Russell would not find any tricks. Even, in order to achieve this goal, Yi Xingchen deliberately showed the characteristics of a businessman's philistine, making Russell think that he only valued his own business interests.

Yi Xingchen's deliberate performance, Russell finally bought it, he didn't seem to notice Yi Xingchen's abnormality, and it was impossible to know what Yi Xingchen was thinking.

Therefore, hearing Yi Xingchen's words, Russell only smiled, thinking that Yi Xingchen really just didn't want his own industry in Rénia to be affected by the war, so he also shifted his attention to the cooperation between the two, with an attitude of business. In fact, what Russell wants is to get Yi Xingchen's support.

Now that there is a war, Russell can no longer stay out of it, so he has to deal with it actively. One more MP for support. His proposal could be adopted.

Therefore, as long as Yi Xingchen, a member of parliament, asks for something, then things will be easy to do. For the person who asks for it, as long as his request is met, then the deal between the two parties is reached, therefore. Russell knew that as long as he could ensure the stability of Yi Xingchen's industry in Rénia, then in exchange, Yi Xingchen would continue to support the stability of his position in the Rénian government.

Russell has not forgotten how he became the president of Rénia, so he knows very well how much power Yi Xingchen can seek for him, if Yi Xingchen guarantees to support him. How far he can go.

"Alright, let's go first. Russell patted Yi Xingchen and said.

Several parliamentarians arrived, and when they saw Russell approaching Yi Xingchen, they couldn't help but look at Yi Xingchen a few more times.

Yi Xingchen smiled at them and gave them a friendly smile.

Entering the meeting room, the members of parliament all looked serious, and no one talked loudly. A heavy atmosphere spread through every corner of the venue.

Russell is the president, and his position is different from Yi Xingchen's. One admission. Russell separated from Yi Xingchen.

Yi Xingchen quietly found his place and waited for the meeting to begin.

The elderly speaker did not make the parliamentarians wait for long. It's just that the speaker's face is ugly, and it is obvious that he has taken a step ahead and got detailed information.

In fact. Many lawmakers don't know exactly what's going on.

The Speaker of the Parliament opened the meeting, and the Minister of Defence of Rénia first came to the stage to explain the situation.

After a day and a night of investigation, the preliminary results of the attack on the Alexandria Port came out. More than a thousand naval officers of Rénia died, and a large number of naval officers died. The entire military port of Alexandria was badly damaged. The command building collapsed, the dock facilities were bombed, and they were not functional. The damage to the fleet moored in the military port was mainly concentrated in the loss of personnel, and a large number of front-line commanders were killed......

When the Minister of Defense finished reading the report, he did not say a word about who the enemy was. Some parliamentarians could not bear it anymore and demanded that the military publish the results of the investigation and the national army in which the navy of Rénia was attacked.

The Minister of Defense apologized to the parliamentarians very helplessly, they did not find any clues for the time being. After the enemy attacked the military port, they quickly evacuated, leaving not a single body at the scene and no signs left.

A congressman stood up and asked the defense minister how many enemies had attacked the military port and why the heavily defended military base was so vulnerable.

The Minister of Defense's face became even more ugly, and he picked up another report and answered the questions of the parliamentarians one by one.

"According to the surviving naval officers and sailors at the scene, the Alexandria military port was attacked by more than a thousand professional soldiers. These servicemen have weapons such as mortars, submachine guns, grenades, etc., wear bulletproof vests, and they are well trained...... And because the military port is not prepared, this is the reason why the military port cannot resist. ”

However, after listening to the defense minister's answer, the parliamentarians not only did not understand, but became even more annoyed.

An angry MP picked up his shoe and threw it at the Minister of Defense, who reacted quickly and dodged sideways.

"So many soldiers have infiltrated Rénia, and you say that you can't find the enemy, you don't know who the enemy is? Don't tell me, you haven't even caught a single enemy? So where did they go?" said the councillor angrily.

Suddenly, the angry congressmen's words detonated the audience, and all the parliamentarians discussed a lot in the audience, and from time to time some parliamentarians stood up to question the defense minister. Many parliamentarians felt that the Minister of Defence was perfunctory and that the report was too leaky and not detailed enough.

According to common sense, the attack on Alexandria required at least one regiment. These people are not one or two people, they can hide in the city, or hide in the mountains and are difficult to find. The action of a thousand people must be not small, if you really want to find out, there must be traces, and it is impossible for them to disappear out of thin air.

As a result, many parliamentarians have even imagined various plots and images in their minds -- either because the military is too incompetent to find so many people, or because there is another mystery in the port attack and the military has concealed a lot of facts.

Seeing that there were more and more questions in the audience, the Minister of Defense was eager to explain and tell the parliamentarians that the military had not given up and continued to follow up. But there are some things that even the Minister of Defense doesn't believe, how can he make people believe him. According to the accounts of the surviving officers and men of the Navy, the enemy fled to the mainland of Rénia.

However, the fact is that after a day of searching, they unexpectedly lost the trace of the enemy.

This means that the enemy's actions are well planned, but it takes time to find the enemy. He was tempted to say that the preliminary investigation plan did not mean anything.

The Speaker immediately picked up the hammer in his hand and kept striking.

Silence!

After a while, the venue fell silent.

"Next, the president will speak. The Speaker said.

Russell had already seen the reaction of the parliamentarians in the room, and the first thing he said when he came to the stage was: "Mr. Parliamentarians, I never thought that there would be an enemy attacking our naval ports in Rénia...... I make a statement on behalf of the government, which cooperates with the military in the search for the enemy. Once we determine which country attacked us in Rénia, we will teach them a profound lesson. Rénia will never be weak, let alone bow its head!"

At this time, Russell did not dare to take the responsibility on himself. While stating that he will not shirk his responsibilities, he said that the presidential office and the government fully support the military. In addition, they are also ready to ask the parliamentarians for help and look for clues of the enemy together.

Russell said that, the room burst into applause, and then the lawmakers continued to look at the Secretary of Defense.

The Minister of Defense had to stand up and take a stand, and if they could not find the enemy, the Minister of Defense would resign.

Yi Xingchen looked at the high-level officials of Reunion in the venue, and felt a little funny in his heart. He did not believe that the presidential palace and the Ministry of Defense would not fail to see some anomalies, but they chose to hide them.

Since this was the case, Yi Xingchen didn't think about fighting them. As long as Rénia is quiet and quiet, and he doesn't have bad thoughts about Xinghua Island, he doesn't want to pay attention to them.

Soon, the parliament passed several resolutions, which included giving the Government the power of emergency searches, which could carry out searches of citizens' homes if necessary......

Yi Xingchen didn't have any opinion on this, he just watched Russell's performance. As long as Russell supported the resolution, he supported it. Yi Xingchen also thought that after this turmoil for a while, the friendly trade between Reunion and Xinghua could continue.

At the end of the meeting, Yi Xingchen excused himself from Russell's invitation to the party, saying that he needed to go back and make some arrangements for his company, and left the parliament building.

Leaving the parliament building, Yi Xingchen chose to return to the Xinghua Distillery in the Moonlight Valley.

With the authorization of the military and the cooperation of the government, Yi Xingchen is not suitable to continue to live in Xinghua Manor. Hing Wah Manor is too remote and unsafe.

Shortly after returning to the Xinghua Distillery, Yi Xingchen instructed the factory's security team to strengthen its defenses, asked the management to inform the workers to pay attention to safety, and informed the Xinghua Think Tank of the information he had obtained in the parliament to temporarily suspend intelligence gathering activities to avoid becoming a scapegoat chosen by the Rénian leadership. Yi Xingchen can fully predict that when Russell and his team want to search the whole country with great fanfare and find nothing, they will inevitably give an explanation to the people. He doesn't want any of his companies to be scapegoated.

Yi Xingchen decided to live in the Xinghua Distillery for a period of time, and after a while, the situation calmed down somewhat, and then returned to Xinghua Island. (To be continued.) )
