The afternoon session started on time. As the host, Huaxia was the first to give a keynote speech by Professor Yan, an expert from China. Professor Yan walked up to the table in a suit and leather shoes with a speech in his hand, he looked around the room, and said:

"Hello everyone, the topic of my speech today is 'Discussion on the Application of Norms of International Law'. In his speech this morning, Geng Zihua, a member of China's ****** Committee, once again called for a settlement to be resolved through consultation within the framework of international law, and also reiterated China's consistent stand of not seeking hegemony. Today, I would like to have an exchange with the experts and scholars present on the issue of the norms applicable to international law in relation to disputes, mainly from an academic perspective......"

Then Professor Yan began to talk eloquently, and rarely read the manuscript. This article has been brewing in his mind for several months, and in the last month, he has made many revisions in order to participate in the international law forum, and yesterday he was still in his hotel room to revise the draft, so he is already familiar with it.

Professor Yan did not take the slightest political stance from a purely academic point of view, but only objectively analyzed whether the actions of the parties were in accordance with the relevant provisions of international law. His remarks were well-founded, and both the analysis of cases and the quotation of relevant provisions of international law were very precise and in place. The experts from various countries who listened to the speeches on the audience were also secretly amazed in their hearts.

Lopez, the deputy minister of justice of the country of Belo who was sitting in the first row of VIPs, was a little restless, the event had already started a few minutes ago, he had never seen Sanchez and the others enter, according to the plan, they should have already come in and were ready to go in the seats near the media box.

In addition, Lopez clearly felt that the security level in the venue had been improved, even more heavily guarded than during the speech of the national leader in the morning, and security personnel in uniforms and civilian clothes could be seen everywhere, and Lopez even saw the figure of the gun-wielding SWAT in a hidden corner.

Could it be that something went wrong in the middle?

Lopez had an ominous premonition in his heart, but as the head of the Bero delegation, in the face of the long guns and short guns of the media, he was not good at writing anxiety on his face, although he was anxious inside, but on the surface he was still listening carefully to Professor Yan's speech, and from time to time he showed a hint of a smile, and he did not slack off when he should applaud, and applauded the wonderful speech very politely.

There was another person who was also very nervous and excited, that is, Professor Payers, dean of the School of Law of Belo University, with silver hair and dark skin, his pair of triangular eyes stared closely at Professor Yan on the stage, the whole person leaned back in the chair, his hands crossed in front of his chest, and his seemingly leisurely posture was actually very tense all over his body, ready to stand up at any time.

He may have been the most attentive person in the audience, because they had studied the outline of Professor Yan's speech in advance, and agreed that Professor Yan's speech would reach a certain stage, and Payers, an internationally renowned expert, would stand up and loudly refute him, so Payers listened very carefully with his ears pricked up throughout the whole process, for fear of missing that paragraph and mistaking Mr. Sanchez's major event.

"I think the dispute between China and the Belo country, which has been hotly hyped in the media recently, is actually not complicated to analyze from the perspective of international law...... Professor Yan finally talked about the Huabei dispute.

Payes perked up and listened more carefully to Professor Yan's speech, and his heart began to beat fast, knowing that after a while, after he stood up, his photo would appear on the front page of major Western media in the next few days, becoming a veritable figure of the hour.

Peyes seems to see a snowflakes of interview invitations coming in in the near future, and when he returns home, he will be treated like a national hero, and maybe even receive him personally by Mr. President, and these mean money and power. Thinking of this, Payers felt a burst of blood boil.

Seeing the timing, Payers took a deep breath and was about to stand up as soon as he put his foot on his feet. At this time, he suddenly felt a hand on his shoulder press down, and a young voice came from his ear:

"Professor Payers, if I were you, I wouldn't do anything stupid!"

Peyes's heart was shocked, and he turned his head sharply, only to see a young man with a lazy smile on his face in the seat behind him, staring at him with burning eyes, and beside the young man, there were two security guards waiting for him. Payers suddenly understood that what they had been plotting for a long time had already been seen by Huaxia Kingdom......

But it's all come to this, and Payers feels very unwilling. He snorted coldly, and his feet strained again, trying to force his feet to stand up. But the hands that pressed on his shoulders were like a mountain, and no matter how hard he tried, they were pressed to the chair and could not move.

Payers' face flushed red, and he opened his mouth to scream, and if he messed up the scene, his purpose had already been achieved. But at this moment, the young man's devilish voice sounded again:

"Mr. Payers, if you shout out, I promise you'll regret it for the rest of your life."

As soon as the young man's words fell, Payeston felt a hard thing in his waist and eyes come up, and Payeston's whole body stiffened, and he held back the words he shouted to his lips vividly, and he didn't dare to come out of his seat. He could feel a pistol against him, and thinking of the young man's falcon-like eyes, Payers couldn't help but shudder in his heart and gave up resisting.

Fang Yang sat behind Payers and looked at the toy pistol in his hand, a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Before the forum meeting began, he had his eyes on Payers, and other aspects had already taken strict precautions, but this Payers was an uncertain factor, so Fang Yang directly asked Zheng Zuxin for two security personnel, and sat behind Payers quietly.

Because Fang Yang remembered very clearly, in his previous life, it was this Professor Payers who rudely interrupted Professor Yan's speech at the forum, and rushed to the table to make many radical remarks, and then several participants in the Belo Kingdom began to distribute leaflets to the media, and the entire forum was messed up because of this incident, and Huaxia Kingdom became quite passive in diplomacy and public opinion, and it took a lot of energy to gradually turn around.

As the organizer of the forum, the Sanya municipal government was severely criticized by the superiors. Vice Mayor Zheng Zuxin, who was directly in charge of the preparations for the forum, was directly dismissed, and a large number of officials were punished by party and government discipline as a result.

I'm indirectly saving the sycophant mayor! Fang Yang was also secretly amused in his heart.

So far, the situation has been basically contained. Looking at Professor Yan, who was talking eloquently on the speaker's seat, Fang Yang also let out a long breath.

……

Professor Yan's speech won applause from the audience. Objectively speaking, his speech really did not have any political stance, and he was discussing some controversial issues from a purely academic point of view, so he also won the respect and appreciation of the vast majority of experts attending the meeting.

This was followed by speeches by well-known experts from several other countries, and the whole event lasted until about 5 o'clock in the afternoon. As soon as the moderator announced the end of the afternoon meeting, Lopez, the head of the Bero delegation, immediately stood up and walked to Xu Wendong, the person in charge of the forum in Huaxia, with a sullen face.

Immediately after Professor Yan's speech, Lopez received the news that his subordinate Sanchez and five others had been detained by the Huaxia police before the afternoon forum began, and they were still locked up in the conference room. When Lopez heard the news, he immediately became angry, if it weren't for the presence of many media outlets, Lopez would probably be furious on the spot.

Xu Wendong had already been reported by the relevant personnel and was waiting for his seat. Without waiting for Lopez to speak, Xu Wendong said with a stern face:

"Mr. Lopez, on behalf of Huaxia Kingdom, I lodge a solemn protest with you! In your country, Sánchez and five others from the Ministry of Justice attempted to sabotage the normal development of the forum's activities, and they have been stopped by the Chinese police in accordance with the law! ”

Lopez opened his mouth wide in surprise, in his impression, Huaxia has always regarded itself as an ancient civilization, paying attention to politeness and tolerance, and has always been a posture of a great country, but he didn't expect Xu Wendong to be so aggressive as soon as he came up today. After being stunned for a moment, Lopez came back to his senses and said in an unkind tone:

"Mr. Xu, Sanchez is a citizen of my country, and the police in your country have no right to take coercive measures against them! I ask you to release them immediately! ”

The corners of Xu Wendong's mouth raised slightly, revealing a faint smile and said:

"I'm sorry, Sanchez and the others have been listed as persona non grata by our country and will be forcibly deported by us tonight! In addition, I would like to express my strong dissatisfaction with your country's deliberate attempt to sabotage the academic atmosphere of the forum and attempt to involve political factors in the forum in order to obtain political benefits. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of our country will send a diplomatic note to your embassy in China to express its strong protest later. ”

"You can't do that!" Lopez was shocked and angry, if Huaxia really expelled Sanchez and the others and issued a written protest, then the small actions of the Belo Kingdom that were not seen in private would be completely made public, and at that time, the shape would be completely reversed, and public opinion would be overwhelmingly biased in favor of Huaxia.

Lopez can imagine that once these things become a reality, he will face the thunderous anger of Mr. President, and it is difficult to say whether he will be able to keep the post of deputy attorney general.

Xu Wendong had already been authorized by his superiors. Huaxia has been struggling lately with not having a reason to condemn the rogue style of the Belo Kingdom! This Lopez was stupidly sent to the door, and now the evidence is conclusive, if Huaxia Guo doesn't take the opportunity to make a big fuss about this issue, then I'm really sorry that Lopez has been scheming these days.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Lopez, but this is our final decision!" Xu Wendong said mercilessly, "I still have to prepare for a press conference that will be held temporarily, so I will miss it first!" ”

After speaking, Xu Wendong glanced at Lopez coldly, and strode out of the venue without looking back.

Lopez suddenly slumped back into his chair in a state of despair, his mind messing up like a mess.

The content of the press conference later, without Xu Wendong going into details, Lopez can already guess it......
