However, although Chu Feng's response was a smile from Lang Lang, as long as it was someone who was familiar with him, if he looked closely, he would know that this smile had a clue. ▲∴

It turned out that at this moment, Chu Feng, as the envoy of a country, was extremely dissatisfied in his heart under his seemingly clear expression. Xia Guo's reaction was undoubtedly a strong statement that their Xia State and the Xinghua State envoy waiting outside the city, that is, he Chu Feng, had no need for verbal negotiation at all.

This is obviously the greatest insult to an envoy of a country.

In the face of this treatment, Chu Feng would have been furious, but at the same time, he was an extremely self-disciplined person, and more importantly, he had to always maintain his majesty in front of his subordinates, so he would never expose his angry face in front of them.

I saw that Chu Feng immediately restrained his smile, a trace of imperceptible coldness flashed on his face, and he just turned to face the hundred accompanying soldiers behind him, and gave the order to retreat.

Although not all of the hundred soldiers accompanying him understood what was going on, they had already vaguely guessed that things were not so simple from the slightly solemn looks on Chu Feng and the officers' faces. But even if they don't have the ability to observe words and colors, just a mountain of military orders is enough to make them obey their orders.

Chu Feng, who was returning, quickly left the range of Yan Zhan safely. Although this trip seemed to be a trip in vain, in fact, Chu Feng knew in his heart that the credentials of the Xinghua Empire had already been sent, and as long as the deadline arrived, if the Xia Kingdom did not react, it would prove that the Xinghua Empire could treat it as if the Xia Kingdom had declared war on them.

At that time, Chu Feng will also have a reason to explain to the cabinet.

Meanwhile. Ouyang Deren, the prefect of Shucheng, was holding Ao Baozhu while looking at the pearl necklace in his hand. From time to time, I was amazed. The pearls on this pearl necklace are not only the same size, each one is the size of an adult's thumb, but also the color is uniform and round, and contains dark light, which is a rare treasure at a glance.

Therefore, Ouyang Deren, who has both beauty and treasure. At this moment, Mo Ti is so proud in his heart. He didn't know that at this time, the Xinghua Empire had already issued a declaration of war. It's just that he is immersed in the happy mood of raiding the shops in Qilian Mountain and thus gaining a huge fortune.

Ao Baozhu, who knew Ouyang Deren's heart very well, saw Ouyang Deren's smug face, and even seized the opportunity to curry favor with Ouyang Deren and squinted his eyes. smiled at Ouyang Derenmei: "Master." This time, we raided the jewelry store and obtained a total of 300,000 taels worth of jewelry. ”

Ouyang Deren naturally would not refuse the grace of the beauty, and immediately took the opportunity to put a hand into Ao Baozhu's clothes, and said with a smile as he climbed up: "Of course, the credit for this time will go to you, the lady." If it weren't for the lady's discernment, I wouldn't have discovered the spies of Xinghua Kingdom, and I wouldn't have gotten so many treasures. ”

"Sir. How much do we have to hand in?" Ao Baozhu was praised by Ouyang Deren, and suddenly looked complacent. She then asked the questions she was most concerned about.

"100,000 taels worth of jewelry should be enough. Ouyang Deren weighed it in his heart for a while, and then said an approximate number.

"But......" When Ao Baozhu heard this, he frowned, and stopped talking with some concern.

Seeing this, Ouyang Deren smiled loudly and unconcernedly, and then comforted Ao Baozhu and said: "Don't worry, lady, although our Ouyang family will not call for wind and rain in the court, but in Yunzhou, we still have the final say." ”

Hearing this, Ao Baozhu seemed to be drunk with Ouyang Deren's strong strength again, and immediately cut off that senseless concern, regained his coquettish appearance, leaned into Ouyang Deren's ear again, and said to Ouyang Deren coquettishly: "Master, I have taken a fancy to a few pieces of jewelry......

"Whatever you want, but now you'll have to take care of the master. Ouyang Deren picked up Ao Baozhu and walked into the bedroom.

Chu Feng returned to Snow Lotus Pass with the news. Subsequently, in less than a day, the cabinet of the Xinghua Empire learned of the indirect response given to Chu Feng by the Yunzhou checkpoint of the Xia Kingdom.

The Cabinet reacted immediately!

The Xinghua Shimbun, the mouthpiece of the Xinghua Empire, adjusted its publication procedures with unprecedented speed, and immediately published this important news and distributed it in major cities across the country. This news shows that the officials of the Xia State violated the personal safety of the citizens of the Xinghua Empire on trumped-up charges without any substantial evidence, and arbitrarily deprived the citizens of the Xinghua Empire of their property, causing huge losses to the people. This was the blatant persecution of the people of the Xinghua Empire by Xia officials. Therefore, the Emperor of the Xinghua Empire was extremely angry and had decided to send troops to crusade against the barbaric and unreasonable Xia officials who disregarded the peace between the two countries, and to save the innocent people in his country.

As the sales and circulation of the Xinghua News were much higher than in the past, what Yi Xingchen did not expect happened immediately -- this important decision of the Xinghua Imperial Court actually won the support of the whole people! This is the will of the people. Yi Xingchen received this feedback from the people of Xinghua Kingdom, which added a little more confidence.

It was on this day, in the palace study, Yi Xingchen instructed the three secretaries to read the feedback from all over the Xinghua Empire about the empire's dispatch of troops to the Xia Kingdom.

"Your Majesty, this is the public opinion of the people in the Xilin area collected by the city guard of Xilin City. Many people have made it clear that they support the empire, fight against the Xia Kingdom, and save their own people, and a total of 13,000 people have expressed their positions by fingerprints or signatures. ”

Yi Xingchen was naturally very satisfied with this answer, but he didn't want this investigation to cause excessive reactions from the people, so he immediately made instructions: "Very good, reply to the city guard Eli, let him pay attention to the people's feelings and public opinion, guide the people's anger into work passion, do their best to restore the agriculture of Xilin City, pay close attention to grain production, and ensure that the country is not short of grain." ”

After Xilincheng's report ended, it was followed by Wangdongcheng: "This is the information sent by the Wangdongcheng Intelligence Bureau, and the residents of Wangdongcheng generally support the empire's decision to send troops, and even many people at the same time expressed a high sense of trust in the Xinghua Empire, believing that the empire is better than Qiandong leaving the country, and it is really starting from the fundamental interests of the people and thinking about the people." ”

This news also made Yi Xingchen happy and the people's heart. It is undoubtedly the highest affirmation given to his rule. After thinking about it, Yi Xingchen also added to Wangdongcheng: "Call the city guard of Wangdongcheng to ensure the people's right to live. To improve people's lives within their means. In addition, it is necessary to suppress the old habits of the previous dynasty. The Wangdong Army Corps must earnestly ensure the smooth implementation of the Great Xinghua Nation and ensure regional security. ”

"This is a letter of will sent by the people of Beisha City, who are willing to form a people's army and attack the Xia Kingdom. ”

"Call the city guard of Beisha City. The people of all ethnic groups were assured that they could join the Xinghua Army in their individual capacity. The empire does not agree with the clans. Fight as a clan. In addition, we will continue to implement the policy of rejuvenating the Chinese nation. The Beisha Army must ensure the safety of Beisha City. ”

"Nantucheng and Nanyun City have also expressed their support......"

Combined responses from all parties. Yi Xingchen was happy from the bottom of his heart: "Very good." I didn't expect that an action to attack the Xia Kingdom and save its own people would unite the hearts of the people of a country. ”

Seeing the people's support for national policies, Yi Xingchen enjoyed unprecedented steadfastness. In the past, no matter how he formulated any internal and external policies, he had never tried to get the unanimous and high support of the people of the Xinghua Empire, and he had never tried to get such a big response, which actually made him feel a little flattered.

For this. He also replied to the kindness of various places one by one. Thanks to the population and assured the population. The emperor will surely save his subjects. At this moment, Yi Xingchen won the hearts of the people.

Half a month later, a 1,300-strong Xinghua Baomin Army assembled in Xilin City to receive guns and ammunition. At the same time, Xinghua City and Xinghua New City also organized a transport team to transport a batch of cold weapons and armor to be sent to Xuelian Pass.

According to the instructions of the cabinet, these weapons will be used to support the civilian armed forces of Yunzhou of the Xia State against the Xia Imperial Court.

Yi Xingchen ordered the formation of the Xinghua Chamber of Commerce to set up the Xinghua Arms Sales Department, and officially began to sell weapons to countries and forces outside the Xinghua Kingdom that were not hostile to the Xinghua Kingdom. In addition, the scope of arms sales is regulated, and the steel knives, iron swords, cuirass, and light bows and crossbows produced by Xinghua Industrial Zone (the effective range control zhì is less than 100 meters. ), crossbow arrows, etc., are on the sellable list of the Weapons Sales Department.

If it weren't for the cabinet's obstruction, Yi Xingchen would even intend to sell the rifles produced in the Xinghua Industrial Zone. Of course, the case for the Cabinet is strong. That is, the main weapon of the Xinghua Army is still the rifle, and when the submachine gun can only be popularized by the Royal Guard, it is better not to sell the rifle, so as not to crack the rifle structure of the enemy, and you can also make your own rifle.

Yi Xingchen thought about it and agreed with the cabinet's statement. Because Yi Xingchen also had no way to grasp one point, that is, whether the alchemists of the Xia Kingdom would be able to crack the rifle and produce the rifle on their own.

After all, the world is not like Blue Mercury, and it is dominated by science and technology. Yi Xingchen can't guarantee whether the people of this world will get any inspiration from it and make some powerful weapons. If the Xinghua army has not given up rifles on a large scale, the temporary secrecy of the Xinghua army's weapons will make the enemy unable to figure out the reality of the Xinghua army, and thus produce an inexplicable fear of the psychology.

A month has passed, and something has happened on Xinghua Island in Blue Mercury.

A group of family members of North African workers, organized by the North Africa Branch of the American Intelligence Agency, formally filed a complaint with the International Court of Lenhua Island for enslaving workers, illegally imprisoning workers, and not allowing workers to return home to visit their relatives.

Under the operation of the American government, the international tribunal quickly accepted the case and formally summoned the Hinghwa Island government for explanation.

The Xinghua Island government, headed by Liu Yiyi, naturally resolutely denied it. The government of Xinghua Island agreed that the North African family was not the right person to complain about. This is because Xinghua Island has never hired North African workers, and tourists from any country have never seen any North African workers on Xinghua Island.

The North African family members duly requested the International Tribunal to search Xinghua Island.

The Xinghua Island government sternly refused.

All of a sudden, Blue Mercury changed dramatically. The attention of governments around the world has once again turned to Xinghua Island.

"They made it clear that they wanted to frame us! They just wanted to find a reason to go to the island and search for us. Liu Yiyi said dissatisfied.

Yi Xingchen comforted Liu Yiyi and said with a smile: "Don't be upset, they just want to force us to mess up." Rest assured, your husband has a solution. ”

"No, I'm just not happy that they're deliberately planting a false claim. Obviously, Xinghua Island has never hired North African workers, and they insist on pulling us along and accusing us. Liu Yiyi said.

"Alright. Yi Xingchen felt a little funny and said: "After all, in everyone's eyes, Xinghua Island can only be established with the support of Xinghua Mall." Suing a country is more eye-catching than suing a company. ”

Yi Xingchen paused and continued: "You send someone to attend the international tribunal and bring back the list of workers from the families of North Africa. Then, tell them that the Xinghua Island government will negotiate with Xinghua Group and ask if there will be such a thing. Then, I will send someone to come forward in the name of Xinghua Group to take over this matter. ”

When Liu Yiyi heard this, there was nothing she could do. The government of Xinghua Island is not strong enough to ignore the judgment of the International Court of Justice.

The next day, the government of Xinghua Island sent an ordinary official to appear at the seat of the International Tribunal, Haisheng. The Haisheng International Court of Justice is a national court established by the League of Nations Conference in consultation with each other. Its main function is to settle international disputes. In general, the International Court of Justice mainly adjudicates disputes between countries. However, some people can also sue a country if it violates the human spirit and violates human rights. If a country is convicted, all the members of the League of Nations must put pressure on that country to comply with the sentence.

Wu Liang, secretary of the Secretariat of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Xinghua Island Government, wore a suit and trousers, a tie, and a black briefcase, and walked to the office of the Haisheng International Court.

"Hello, I am Wu Liang, the representative of the Xinghua Island government. I would like to meet with your responsible person to find out about the complaint filed by the families of North African workers against the government of Hung Hoa. Wu Liang stood alone at the door of the courtroom and asked a security guard.

The security guard of the Haisheng International Court was surprised: "You are alone, what proof do you have?"

Wu Liang smiled slightly, took the certificate, handed it to the security guard, and said, "I am enough for one person, this is my certificate." ”

The security guard verified the documents and said to Wu Liang: "Please wait a moment, I will notify the judge in charge of your case." ”

It was an hour before Wu Liang was allowed to enter the international tribunal.

"Hello, Mr. Wu Liang. ”

"Hello, Mr. Judge. ”

In a conference room of the International Tribunal, Wu Liang met with the judges of the Tribunal in charge of the case and the relevant staff of the Tribunal.

"My government has been summoned by the International Tribunal, and as a member of the League of Nations, in accordance with international principles, I have been specially sent here to find out what is going on. Wu Liang said. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please visit wènhttp://mnet
