In the current Xichuan area, there are hundreds of thousands of troops in Victoria and Yan at the same time, and the frightened people have even postponed the sowing of early spring.

In the eyes of ordinary people, they don't even know if the seeds sown will be harvested in the fall.

....

The Victorian army occupied more than a dozen cities in the interior of Xichuan, and the army of the Yan Kingdom also entered the outlying cities from the northern coast.

So far, there is no clear intention on both sides, and in this case, the interview on the Yanguo side is particularly important.

Because, this is the only chance to break the deadlock.

Neither side was on their home turf, so of course, the meeting was held at the Nishinomiya family's mansion.

To be honest, this scene will look very weird.

It's like a lion and a tiger spotting a lone buffalo together, and both beasts want to eat it, but they don't want to fight over it, so they decide to talk about it.

However, both the lion and the tiger are a little afraid of each other's tricks.

In order to prevent someone from playing yin during the negotiation, the buffalo as food stood up and said, "You all come to me, I will make a guarantee, whoever plays yin is the grandson, discuss how to eat me." ”

But there is no way, the buffalo can't run, so you can only ask for a good time.

....

In this way, with the Xigong family as the east, Lin Hong, the governor of North China of the Yan Kingdom, would personally come to meet with the highest-ranking governor of the Victorian military.

Of course, Lin Hong's definition of "the highest-ranking officer" may have been misunderstood.

Unlike the Yan Kingdom, the Victorian Empire adopted a system of separation of military and government, and even the chief of military affairs could not decide whether to fight or not, he could only decide how they should fight this battle if the empire wanted to fight.

However, this did not affect Nanfeng's desire to go to the appointment, after all, it was too uncomfortable to be so stiff.

It's true that the Chief of War can't decide anything alone, but as a member of the royal family, Nanfeng can protect the bottom line of the Victorian Empire without anyone's consent.

For example, if Lin Hong demanded that the Victorian army immediately and unconditionally withdraw from the eastern country, and his attitude was so tough that it was not negotiable.

If this was the case, Nanfeng could directly smash the teacup on Lin Hong's face.

In addition, as long as there is still a trace of room for negotiation, it is impossible for both sides to tear their faces.

.....

In the living room of the cherry blossom forest, Xia Feng was still making the final trade-offs before heading to the Nishinomiya family's mansion.

Seeing his tangled look, Lapland leaned back on the sofa and said lazily.

"Boss, don't be so sad, if the talk collapses at that time, you give an order, we will directly close the door and beat the dog, and kill Lin Hong's guy in the room first."

Wolf Da also chimed in.

"Yes, or we will directly tie people up as hostages, and if the North China Army of the Yan Kingdom does not withdraw from the Eastern Kingdom, we will chop off Lin Hong's dog's head."

For this exciting-sounding plan, Xia Feng only gave a two-word evaluation.

"."

was directly vetoed by him, and everyone stopped talking.

.....

This is not a gang talking about business, but also bringing black to eat black.

Xia Feng knew very well, since Lin Hong dared to come for an interview? Surely you are ready for anything? I'm not afraid of any tricks at all.

He didn't forget? Last time I met Lin Hong? He had more than a dozen Red Guards with him.

Yan Country is a country where the strong are like clouds? For example, Red Knife, Xiao Ye? Including Yi Nanxue and so on, many of the masters he is familiar with are from the Yan Kingdom.

Stand to reason? Respected as the governor of North China, Lin Hong must have gathered all kinds of peerless masters around him.

And take a step back? Whether Lin Hong is killed or tied up, it can't solve the fundamental problem? It will only lead to an irreparable death.

Because Lin Hong is only the person in charge of this military operation, not the decision-maker? Even Lao Wei, the governor of Longmen, who had autonomy, did not dare to send troops to invade other countries.

All of this is the supreme ruler of the Yan Kingdom? The will of the Emperor of Great Fire.

.....

Is there no better way for Xia Feng now? The only thing he could do was try to stabilize the situation before Vina arrived.

A few days later.

According to the agreed time, he got on a helicopter and went to the Nishinomiya family's mansion.

.....

Knowing the importance of this negotiation and the current tense situation, both sides have a tacit understanding that they have not deepened their suspicions.

The army of the Yan State was still stationed in the northern border area, but a mobile force of 5,000 people was mobilized 2 kilometers away from Xiye Mansion, which could be regarded as a response.

In the face of sincerity, the Victorian military was even more generous.

Xichuan's large army did not move, but the 500-strong Royal Knights escorted Nanfeng to the periphery of Xiye Mansion.

This is a psychological game, whoever brings more people proves who is afraid.

To be reasonable, this kind of interview between the high-ranking generals of the two countries is absolutely impossible to have a situation of "black eating black."

On the one hand, the governor of North China of the Yan Kingdom, and on the other hand, the chief of military affairs of Victoria, no matter who kills whom, it will have a very bad impact, and even cause irreparable major dishonesty in the international community.

As a developing world power, this despicable and dishonest behavior can lead to strong resentment and even joint crusade among allies.

.....

Morning, 10 o'clock sharp.

Representatives from both sides finally arrived.

In the living room of the Nishinomiya family's mansion, more than a dozen people sat around a long table.

Behind the left and right sides of the long table, more than a dozen guards from each side stood on each side.

On the Victorian side, a total of four people attended the talks, namely Nanfeng, who was the chief of imperial affairs, the commander-in-chief of the Central Military Region, and the chief of general staff of the imperial department, who came with the army.

Of course, there is also Xia Feng, who is also the only one of the four who does not have any position, but still does not sit at the table in the slightest.

There are a little more people on the Yan side, there are seven people in total, except for Lin Hong, who is the governor of North China, Xia Feng is not very clear about the identities of the others, such as what kind of history, master, and messy generals.

He only knew that the highest status among these people was still Lin Hong, and the others were obviously foils.

As the third party of this meeting, the Nishinomiya family, the head of the family, Nishinomiya Ling, the retainer Nishinomiya Yanshi, and the first military general of the family, Nishinomiya Ryuhei, all three representatives were absent.

After everyone was seated, Xigong Ling instructed the people outside the door.

"Close the door!"

"Yes."

With a muffled "bang", the door of the conference hall was slammed shut, and the meeting related to the fate of Xichuan began.

.....

The atmosphere in the conference hall was very solemn, and in addition to the big guys in the room, the guards on both sides also raised their attention to the top.

Behind Lin Hongde, there were more than a dozen guards dressed in red, four of whom were dressed differently from others, they were wearing red robes, and even their faces were covered underneath.

Behind Nanfeng, there were also more than ten masters of the Royal Knights, with golden swords and golden armor, standing straight, in addition to the guards of the Royal Knights, there were also three people in the team.

One is Frost Star, one is Ivlit, and the other is Xiao Ye.

It's not that I'm afraid, be careful to sail the ship for ten thousand years, although I have to show that I don't care, but the last insurance still has to be on.

....

If something happens during the negotiation and it turns into the worst outcome, it is uncertain who will die or live, and the Nishinomiya family's mansion should not be able to be saved anyway.
