As a third party presiding over the meeting, Xigong Ling's attitude can be described as extremely humble.

Sitting in the middle, he asked tentatively.

"Chief Nanfeng, Lord Lin Hong, if there are no other problems, let's start now."

Lin Hong's voice came.

"Wait a minute."

Squinting his eyes, Lin Hong focused his gaze on Xia Feng's face, who was sitting diagonally opposite.

"I know the identities of the Victorian military, but I don't know who you are."

Xia Feng blinked, and replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"I'm Xia Feng, Lord Lin, didn't we meet last time, did you forget it so quickly?"

"I know you're Xia Feng, I mean, what are you and why are you sitting here."

.....

Lin Hong's doubts are not unreasonable, from his point of view, if he asks Xia Feng whether he is qualified to sit here, then the answer is naturally yes.

What Lin Hong really wants to ask is which side Xia Feng's current position belongs to, whether it represents Victoria or the Xigong family.

Faced with this question, Xia Feng replied immediately without hesitation.

"Oh, I'm an official in Victoria, and I'm here to help Chief Southwind come up with ideas."

Lin Hong frowned slightly.

"Officials? As far as I know, Victoria officially announced that you are dead a long time ago, why are you an official now? ”

Xia Feng's answer was so calm that it was like a small talk with a friend.

"Oh, that's a misunderstanding, in fact, the official made a mistake, at that time I just ran abroad without saying hello to anyone, they thought I was dead, but in fact I didn't die, and then I made up the leave slip, and the official was reinstated."

Hearing this, Lin Hong had the illusion that Xia Feng was playing with him, but he couldn't find any evidence.

"What position have you reinstated?"

"Lord Lin, is this important?"

"Of course, at least I need to know who I'm talking to today."

Xia Feng thought back for a moment.

"Well, I'm the head of the Special Operations Division of the Imperial Inspectorate, and if you don't know this official position, you can understand him as a quick catcher for catching thieves."

Several of the representatives of the Yan Kingdom frowned at the same time, and then cast a contemptuous look at Xia Feng.

"Catch fast?"

Only Lin Hong snorted heavily.

"Hmph, it's nonsense, forget it, I'm too lazy to entangle with you."

In Lin Hong's opinion, Xia Feng can sit here for his own reasons, at least for now, it can be known that he represents Victoria.

.....

On such occasions, in the face of a huge sense of oppression that almost freezes the air, ordinary people naturally do not even dare to breathe in the atmosphere, let alone negotiate with clear ideas.

However, Lin Hong did not have a trace of nervousness, but kept observing everyone secretly from the beginning.

Ignoring Xia Feng no more, he looked at Nanfeng, who was sitting directly opposite, and his tone was slightly polite.

"Chief Southwind, as far as I know, you're a member of the Victorian royal family."

Nanfeng leaned back on a chair in a military coat, without the qualities and etiquette that a soldier and a royal family should have.

"That's right, I don't like twists and turns, what are your Yan Kingdom's intentions, you can say it directly."

"Huh."

Lin Hongpi said with a smile.

"Chief South Wind, compared to my Great Yan's intentions, in order, should I ask you first, what is the intention of the Victorian military?"

The commander-in-chief of the Central Army, who was sitting next to Nanfeng, took over.

"The Imperial Empire officially issued an international announcement before the war, and all military operations of our army against Dongguo are reasonable and compliant, and the purpose of this dispatch to Dongzhou is to crusade against the Sakuratake family who committed crimes in their country before."

Faced with this expected statement, Lin Hong continued to ask.

"Your country's crusade against the Sakura Warrior family is justified, and I don't have any opinion on Da Yan, but what I don't understand is that the Sakura Warrior family was defeated and surrendered, and the head of the family has been captured, why don't you withdraw your troops?"

At this time, Xia Feng, who was sitting next to him, interjected and asked.

"Lord Lin, what is your problem, we have won the battle, why should we withdraw our troops?"

A master next to Lin Hong said with a sneer.

"Oh? It seems that your country has admitted that the invasion is an attempt, and it is called a crusade, but it is actually an invasion. ”

Faced with the hat that was directly buckled, the chief of the General Staff of the Victorian Military Department immediately retorted.

"All the military actions of our army are based on the premise of crusade, and this move has been supported by all allies.

"In that case, why don't you withdraw after the crusade is over?"

The chief of the General Staff continued to reply without a red face and a heartbeat.

"The war has just ended, our army needs to rest, and the rule of the Sakura Sakura family has ended, and the ownership of Dongzhou also needs to be considered in the long run."

As soon as this sentence came out, Xigong Ling, as a third party, couldn't help but swallow his saliva, obviously, to the point.

.....

Lin Hong raised his head lightly and said in a low voice.

"The ownership of Dongzhou does need to be discussed in the long run, but this is an internal affair in the East, and it should be negotiated between the local Nishinomiya family and the Kamino family, so what does it have to do with you Victoria?"

As the second-in-command of the Victorian military, the chief of the general staff has a very clear idea.

"Lord Lin's words are wrong, of course they have something to do with our country."

"What's the matter?"

"In this crusade, China's Central Military Region dispatched more than 300,000 soldiers, although the battle situation was easily crushed, but the loss behind it can be described as a loss of money and labor, military expenses need to be supplemented, and the fallen soldiers need to be appeased, who will come from this loss?"

Seeing that Lin Hong obviously did not have a suitable response, Xia Feng next to him immediately fanned the flames.

"That's right, this is not as simple as killing people to pay for their lives, this truth Lord Lin shouldn't understand, who will pay for the military expenses of the 300,000 army, Lord Lin, are you out?"

.....

Lin Hong was choked by this rhetorical question.

If it was really a simple matter of military spending, of course he could pay it, or if they could withdraw their troops if they gave Victoria military spending, then Yan Guo would simply laugh out loud.

For Dayan, a large country, the military expenses of 300,000 soldiers are still paid, but they can't pay it anyway.

Because as long as Lin Hong dared to agree at this point in time, the nature would completely change.

"Ahem, the issue of military spending is your country's own business, but this cannot be a reason for you not to withdraw your troops."

The Chief of the General Staff snorted coldly.

"It is precisely because of our country's own problems that we need to solve it properly, I don't know what Lord Lin is worried about."

"Heh, if your country does not withdraw its troops, it is suspected of encroachment."

Listening to the kraft candy being ripped around, Nanfeng, who was sitting in the middle, suddenly raised his voice.

"It's none of your business whether Lao Tzu withdraws or not, why do you care so much?"

Lin Hong did not lose any color and said calmly.

"Why is Chief Nanfeng so excited? Well, since you asked, then I will answer you, of course this matter is related to my Great Yan, since ancient times, my Yan and the East have been neighbors, and in recent years, there have been frequent trade exchanges, just imagine, if my Great Yan's army is forced to the Victorian border in the name of crusade, and is stationed for a long time without any reason, your country should also have trouble sleeping. ”

.....

The atmosphere was somewhat frozen.

In the face of Lin Hong's righteous and awe-inspiring words, Nanfeng's eyes gradually became cold.

"So this is the reason why Yan Guo sent troops to intervene."

Lin Hong's attitude was not weak at all.

"It's not interference, it's my duty as a neighbor."
