"Across the sea from Axe Mountain City is the Neon Country, so I'll send it here." After Xu Xiuzhi waved goodbye, he jumped off the Changfeng.

To make its way to Neon, the Nagawind first passes through the safe land area of Nanbang and then crosses the sea to Neon. The strait between the two countries is only more than 300 kilometers, which is similar to the Treasure Island Strait, and it only takes three hours to pass. Moreover, there will be no sea monsters in shallow waters, and the risk factor is not high.

The Changfeng was only attacked by a flock of seabirds, and it passed through the strait without any danger.

Through aerial searches, the Changfeng found a large human settlement, with two or three hundred thousand people visually detected. If you add the surrounding satellite towns, it should be an urban circle with a population of about 500,000.

Departing from the capital of Nanbang in the morning, it was already evening when the Changfeng arrived here. Different from the invitation sent by Nanbang, the Republic took the initiative to come to Neon, and he was blind to the situation of Neon, so he just took a break here and figured out the situation first.

Therefore, the Changfeng did not move forward, and first anchored here for the night to understand the situation, and also let the Neon carry the news of the arrival of the mission.

The Long Wind hovers over the edge of the settlement, and there is no need to identify itself, with the flag livery being the most obvious symbol.

Not long after docking, someone took the initiative to come to contact. The head of the ghetto is simply not qualified to receive a diplomatic team at the national level.

Therefore, the senior cabinet officials stayed on the Changfeng, and Xiang Ningxuan took several business personnel to meet with the high-level officials of the settlement.

The two sides exchanged gifts, and at a simple dinner, they exchanged some information.

Things are noticeably worse with Neon than with South Stick. At least in the south of the country, where universal military service is practiced, adult men are militarily trained.

Although Neon also wants to develop the military, due to historical reasons, the size of the army is very small, and the military expenditure is used in high-tech fields. As a result, when the apocalypse comes, high-end weapons are almost a decoration.

The vast majority of the people have no military training, even instructors are difficult to find, and conventional weapons are seriously insufficient, and in the early days of the apocalypse, even ordinary zombies cannot deal with them, causing serious casualties.

Of course, now that the end has come for more than a year, most of those who survive have adapted to the war. Moreover, unlike Nanbang, who quickly eliminated the monsters in the territory, Neon is still a human monster at the moment. There are not enough people with equipment to make up, and the proportion of neon combat hero classes is low, but the proportion of high-end combat power is higher than that of Nanbang.

The basic military industry has been established, but there is an extreme shortage of living materials, and ordinary people have food and drink.

I don't know what happened elsewhere, at least where the Long Wind landed. Although the local chief officer tried his best to cover it up, the Changfeng was condescending and had already seen it clearly.

One of the world's top steel companies in the area has stopped working due to a lack of raw materials and energy, and now it has to make a small effort to recycle old steel to produce metal products. It can be seen from the katana on the elite warriors in the settlement that they have mastered a certain amount of spirit pattern metal forging technology, but the output is only enough to equip the elite samurai.

After dinner—the neon meal was quite exquisite, but it wasn't enough—Xiang Ningxuan said while watching the kimono girl tinkering with tea there: "Now the sea route is very dangerous, if we start trading with your country in the future, we should go to Nanbang by land, and then cross the sea to get here." Therefore, it is likely to become a transit point for your country's trade. In particular, the islands in the middle of the strait will be a key node. ”

Suzuki Kuragen, the leader of the settlement dressed as a samurai, was overjoyed when he heard this, and if he could become a trade node, it would be developed. But then he sighed and said: "The open sea on our side is the place where the Tsarist fleet was destroyed, and now, these hairs have turned into ghost pirates to raid the coast. We can only defend passively on land, and we can't completely eliminate the pirates. ”

Xiang Ningxuan smiled: "This is your business, if you really can't do it, you can ask for help!" Back then, the commander of your country, Dongxiang, was able to annihilate the Tsarist fleet with weak forces, and if he knew that future generations could not do anything about these ghosts, I am afraid he would not have turned a blind eye. ”

Xiang Ningxuan's method of agitating the generals was really useful, and the generals who accompanied him rose up one after another, wanting to send troops to fight the pirates to the death.

Suzuki Kuragen was still relatively calm and said, "It's not our family's business. I will report to His Highness the Crown Prince and ask him to decide. ”

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Xiang Ningxuan knows that neon is a constitutional monarchy, and the head of the cabinet is the leader of the country. And the monarch is just a mascot. As for the crown prince, there is no sense of existence. Suzuki Kuragen is a prince, so he needs to ask the crown prince?

Facing Xiang Ningxuan's question, Suzuki Kuragen said with a smile: "We haven't contacted the Edo cabinet yet, but Kyoto has sent an envoy, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wise and martial, and has led the army to recover the counties and cities around Kyoto." Now, he is leading his army westward, just over 300 kilometers away. I've sent someone to inform you that there will be news tomorrow morning. ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is generous and hospitable, and when I hear that your envoy is here, I will definitely give you a warm welcome."

It sounds like this crown prince should be a rising force after the apocalypse, Bingfeng has not yet arrived, but the influence has penetrated.

In fact, this is normal, in the environment of the end of the world, even a dick otaku like Xiang Ningxuan can become a prince, and it is normal for the crown prince to take advantage of the situation. I just don't know whether it's good or bad for the republic.

Xiang Ningxuan said tentatively: "Our mission is ordered to contact the central government of your country. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a noble person, but he is not part of our trip. I'll report back to you and get back to Your Highness next time. ”

His words clearly caused displeasure among those present. It seems that they are on the side of the crown prince and against the central government.

At this time, the kung fu tea was finally brewed. The small cup of amber tea in front of him, the aroma lingered, and the spiritual energy was dense, and he felt that it was extraordinary before he drank it. Take a sip, sweet and fresh, with an endless aftertaste.

"Good tea!"

Suzuki Kuragen was the first to say: "Tea came from China, but now the tea culture in China has long since withered, and only in our Rising Sun Empire can we drink such good tea." ”

When he spoke, his hand pressed the handle of the katana, and his momentum rose up, which was very unfriendly.

Empire of the Rising Sun? That's the old name of Neon, a barbaric country with ambition and aggression. After being beaten into a dog a few decades ago, it was changed to neon.

Listening to this tone and looking at their outfits, these people probably want to go back to that glorious era!

The Rising Sun Empire was able to rise because of the weakness of China. But now, Huaxia is no longer the sick man of East Asia. There can only be one overlord, and Lao Tzu will personally chop up your ambitions and feed them to the dogs.

Xiang Ningxuan drank the tea in the cup in one gulp and said, "What is tea?" A thirst-quenching drink. Unfortunately, this bite is not enough to quench your thirst. Complicating simple issues and forgetting the original purpose. ”

After speaking, he took out the marching rations he carried with him and ate them directly. It was rude to eat your own things at someone else's banquet, but the food given by these neon people was too little, and the tea was only a cup of bull's eye, which was not enough for Xiang Ningxuan to stuff his teeth.

Politeness makes them show their superiority, so I'll just have fun myself.

Xiang Ningxuan's marching rations were all high-spirit food, and the vacuum packaging was not so exquisite, but the amount was large and full, and the spiritual energy was abundant. After the war, one copy will return to blood and blue and physical strength, which is much more affordable than what sushi kung fu tea.
