When Ulysses was ready to negotiate with Lin Qingtian and make appropriate concessions, the foreign minister of the Shenzhou Empire was standing in the office of the supreme head of the Hidden Dragon Sea to report the situation to Lin Qingtian, and the conference room was full of giants, in addition to the supreme head Lin Qingtian, there were also Prime Minister Yang Xiuyuan, Deputy Head Ye Nianlun, as well as Chen Fengnan, Minister of the Imperial Army, and Wang Tianxiong, the guardian of Shenzhou, and finally the emperor, adding a foreign minister, it can be seen how complicated the matter discussed by several people.

After the news of the large-scale massacre of the Chinese in the United States reached the Shenzhou Empire, the nine members of the Standing Committee of the Empire smashed their cups almost at the same time, and they were extremely angry.

War?

For today's Shenzhou Empire, the war is just a question of whether it is worth it, and it is not a question of daring at all, from more than one o'clock in the middle of the night to now, nearly ten hours, Lin Qingtian held a plenary meeting of the decision-making bureau at a very fast speed, such as Huating, Wuyue, Nanyue, Beijiang and other special provinces and cities Although the decision-making bureau members were not able to attend, they all participated in the meeting through video.

The meeting went extremely smoothly, no matter how much the three major factions had their own thoughts on weekdays, in the face of foreign enemies, they all achieved unity for the first time, in the meeting, the supreme head of the empire Lin Qingtian clearly expressed his attitude of not hesitating to fight with the United States, and proposed to vote, the twenty-five members of the imperial decision-making bureau voted one after another, no one abstained, Lin Qingtian's proposal was unanimously adopted in a very short time.

Later, after Lin Qingtian spoke at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he personally led a large number of military generals to speak to the world again, asking the United States to give a clear explanation to the Shenzhou Empire for the massacre of the Chinese, and all the demands of the terrorists claimed by the United States were ignored and tough, and the two words became the only official attitude of the Shenzhou Empire, and the top leaders of the entire country showed their determination and courage to fight with the United States.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs has naturally become one of the busiest people, the Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs belongs to the Ministry of Rites in the area controlled by the southern faction, but for this department that has little impact on the domestic situation but is very sensitive in the world, Lin Qingtian has always grasped it very tightly, Imperial Foreign Minister Liu Fengran is also a cadre with a very prominent position in the southwest faction, and there is no need to doubt his work ability, and he is deeply trusted by Lin Qingtian, after Lin Qingtian's urgent speech, he immediately began to contact various countries and organizations to seek their support, the United Nations, international human rights organizations, more than ten countries on the two continents of Eurasia, are busy non-stop, and the attitude of almost all countries is very ambiguousOn the surface, he said kind words such as hoping that both sides would refrain from doing so, but some unintentional words, but the more he reminisced, the more meaningful he felt, and several of the news he got made people have to be cautious, in the process of reporting the results of communication with Lin Qingtian, Minister Liu Fengran subconsciously glanced at the direction of the emperor, and his heart was a little throbbing, it was obvious that this man who was sitting on the sofa at this time and looked down at a bunch of internal reference documents at random could influence the final attitude of several major countries.

When Liu Fengran received a phone call from the US Secretary of State, the various discussions in the conference room had become more and more intense, and although everyone was ready for war, the opinions of the military department and the special service system suddenly became somewhat unified, Wang Tianxiong and Chen Fengnan were blushing, and Minister Liu Fengran's mobile phone ringtone was just right to relieve the two of them.

"The call of the Führer, the US Secretary of State. ”

Liu Fengran glanced at his phone and said calmly.

"It's time to come, too. ”

Lin Qingtian nodded, and said quietly: "Pick up." ”

Liu Fengran picked up the phone and quickly said a few words, then covered the microphone and said softly: "Ulysses hopes to talk to the Führer about the current dispute between the two countries through a video call in fifteen minutes. ”

Lin Qingtian's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly turned his head, looked at the emperor and said with a smile: "Fuxing, what do you think?"

"Hang him, just say that he is not free for the time being, and call him in half an hour. ”

The emperor threw aside the document in his hand and said calmly.

Lin Qingtian, who seemed to be really determined to ease relations with the royal family, nodded and said with a smile: "That's it." ”

Liu Fengran nodded, conveyed the Führer's meaning to the other side, and casually put the phone back in his pocket.

"Guys, go on. ”

Lin Qingtian glanced around and said casually.

"Forget it, in short, I support the awakening of the Führer 100% this time, as for how the war should be carried out, Minister Chen, let's discuss it slowly when we come to me, and when we discuss a specific result, we will immediately come over and report to the Führer, I have been tossing for a long time, I am a little hungry, can Minister Chen leave?"

Wang Tianxiong stood up and asked, Ulysses and Lin Qingtian's conversation, they are naturally inconvenient to be present, not to say anything confidential or something, but so many giants gathered to face Ulysses, there is no doubt that the other party will gain the upper hand, and it seems that his side is afraid of the other party, once this impression is left to the other party, the so-called negotiation will not be easy to discuss.

"Okay, let's go to your place and talk. ”

Chen Fengnan stood up and said.

"You two don't just talk and fight. ”

Lin Qingtian joked that although he was very angry about the massacre of the Chinese, there were few meetings that could be so easy now, and Lin Qingtian was at least in the mood to joke.

Wang Tianxiong and Chen Fengnan left with a smile.

"I'll go back too, take a look at a few core projects in cooperation with the royal family, they are all big, I have to keep an eye on this aspect personally, and I can't be idle for the next time." ”

Yang Xiuyuan smiled and stood up and left.

"I still have a speech at the party school, so I will go over and prepare first. ”

Ye Nianlun and Yang Xiuyuan stood up at the same time.

Lin Qingtian sent the giants out of the door one by one, then returned to his place and sat down, sighed, and said with a smile: "Fengran, sit down, don't stand." ”

Liu Fengran nodded with a stiff expression, he was a member of the Imperial Center, a core high-ranking official at the governor level, but compared to the giants just now, he originally thought that the atmosphere would be more relaxed after the giants left, but when the other party left, he found that the originally relaxed atmosphere here suddenly became extremely subtle.

Although the giants are gone, there is still an emperor who has never spoken.

Obviously, he had no intention of leaving.

Liu Fengran absentmindedly chatted with Lin Qingtian about the work of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, a little almost instinctively nervous, and couldn't figure out what the emperor meant by staying here, he glanced at Lin Qingtian inquiringly, but Lin Qingtian just shook his head slightly, Liu Fengran suddenly felt more pressure, although the man who was sitting on the sofa not far away and reading the documents didn't talk much from beginning to end, but he never dared to really ignore it, not to mention the emperor's prestige in the past twenty years, at least Liu Fengran knew exactly that Lin Qingtian had seven hideous scars on his body from his abdomen to his heart, it was the silent emperor next to him who stabbed the Fuhrer with his own hand when he was young.

Now that the two of them can still sit together and talk and laugh, even Liu Fengran, a well-informed governor level official, feels ridiculous and terrifying.

Twenty minutes after Liu Fengran hung up the phone call of the US Secretary of State, he received another call from the other party, determined the time of the meeting, and after the negotiations were thoroughly finalized, Liu Fengran, who was finally relieved in his heart, knew that he had completed the task, and did not hesitate to say goodbye and leave.

Only Lin Qingtian and the emperor were left in the office.

After a short silence, the emperor put down the document and said with a smile: "This henchman of yours seems to be afraid of me?"

"It's not about being afraid, he thinks a little more, thinks a lot, at most it's scruples. ”

Lin Qingtian smiled and changed the subject: "What do you think about this negotiation?"

"It's a waste of time. ”

Without hesitation, the emperor said directly: "It is doomed to break up unhappily. ”

"Oh?"

Lin Qingtian squinted his eyes and said, "Do you think Ulysses won't bow his head?"

"There will definitely be certain compromises and concessions, but don't expect too much, the United States has been the world boss for so many years, it must be full of arrogance, and the benefits that Ulysses can let out, do you think they can be the conditions for an armistice?"

The emperor's tone was light, but his eyes became sharp when he looked at Lin Qingtian.

"That's why you're here, aren't you? Afraid I'll call a truce because of the small amount of benefits Ulysses has ceded? It's not in your interest at all, is it?"

Lin Qingtian said lightly.

"Truce? you don't dare. ”

The emperor said bluntly: "And even if the truce is made, it is only temporary, so many grievances piled up with human lives, where can it be said that you can let go of it?" The reason why the United States wants to cease the war is just to take a breath for a while, you should understand this reason, but I am still afraid that you will be confused for a while, so I will stay, theoretically speaking, the truce is not impossible, the United States can also get the benefits that everyone is satisfied with, but these United States is impossible to come up with, if he is really willing to grit his teeth and agree, then I don't mind losing some of the benefits, how to say that this is also a matter of merit, right?"

Lin Qingtian was silent.

He naturally knew what the emperor was referring to that would satisfy everyone.

"So, this negotiation is a complete waste of time, now that you have already expressed your position, then don't hesitate, if you really give up the big picture because of some small profits, you should know how miserable your end will be. ”

The emperor took out a cigarette and lit it, threw one to Lin Qingtian by the way, and then said something completely unrelated to this matter: "I will support Lin Chaoyang to win the title of Southwest City in the next mid-term election." ”

Lin Qingtian raised his head suddenly.

The next mid-term change.

Won the southwest city.

The next mid-term change will obviously not be a big change in two years, but seven years later.

Winning the Southwest City, that position, must enter the decision-making bureau.

This matter has been something that Lin Qingtian wants to operate but is not very sure of recently, not only from the opposition of the Wang family, but also from the Southwest City, even within the Southwest faction, Lin Qingtian also has to face a lot of pressure.

The emperor's expression of support can definitely play a decisive role.

Is this a guarantee?

Lin Qingtian's expression was uncertain.

At the same time, the projection screen on the office wall suddenly lit up.

A video request from the United States arrived.
