Chapter 1085: The Problem of the Century
As the head of a country, Vina's tough attitude perfectly illustrates what it means to be domineering.
To be reasonable, this kind of domineering has no logic at all, although Victoria is preconceived, but Yan Guo's attitude of being bound to win is also not fake.
It's just that Lin Hong at this moment doesn't feel any element of bluffing.
His sanity told him that it was absolutely impossible for Victoria to settle this matter by force.
But his instincts reminded him that Vena's murderous eyes weren't joking.
....
As the governor of North China, Lin Hong is also above 10,000 people in the North China region of Yanguo, if he wants to be afraid, he will naturally not be afraid.
Ignoring the suffocating sense of oppression, he said coldly.
"If it's too strong, it's easy to break, and if it's too strong, it's easy to break, King Vina, if you naively think that I, Da Yan, will be deterred by such a threat, then you are very wrong."
Vena's blonde hair is lightly raised.
"Oh? Then I'm curious, what kind of threat does Da Yan have to be forced to withdraw? Do you want corpses all over the field, or set up a ring, or do you want Lord Lin to break my wrists? ”
In the face of continuous provocations, Lin Hong's chest rose and fell slightly, as if he was trying to suppress his emotions.
"King Vina, do you think this is child's play?"
Vena raised the corners of her mouth nonchalantly.
"Life is like a play, it's just a matter of the size of the stage, now the whole world is the audience of this play, how about it, I Victoria lost, do you dare to go on stage."
Lin Hong clenched his fists.
"Maniac ....."
Until just now, Lin Hong had always thought that Vena was pretending to be crazy, and now he was sure that this so-called king was a crazy woman at all.
Seeing that Vena didn't have any concerns, Lin Hong even had the illusion that he was deliberately touching porcelain.
Although he couldn't figure out why, Vina would give him a kind of obsession that Victoria didn't want to settle peacefully, and just wanted to fight with Yan Guo.
....
Before coming, Lin Hong had already accepted the instructions of "the one above", and he also had his own thoughts.
The will of the "one above" is very clear, with the strength of the Victorian army, Dongzhou is basically difficult to fight, and the only places that Yan Guo is bound to win are Kanye Bay and Xichuan.
As long as Kanno Bay and Nishikawa are successfully stabilized, they can exchange other interests for the dominance of Dongzhou with Victoria, even if they suffer some losses.
Lin Hong was the governor of North China, and North China was the closest region to the eastern kingdom, so it was natural that as long as the eastern kingdom was taken, Lin Hong would temporarily take over the affairs of the eastern kingdom, including all subsequent administrative divisions and military interventions.
This is a great power, even if it is only temporarily taken over, with his means, he can make the most of what he has gained.
With the geographical location of the eastern kingdom and the completely different customs and customs from the mainland of Yan, it is even possible to obtain the same administrative autonomy as the Longmen Special Zone.
In order to achieve this goal, Lin Hong can be described as painstaking.
As long as Victoria is willing to let go, he can set the conditions very high, and even provide some benefits that are visible to the naked eye in his personal capacity.
However, his hard work was in vain.
From beginning to end, Victoria did not show any intention of giving up Xichuan, and did not even open the price code.
....
Inside the conference hall.
Lin Hong sat back in his chair, and his whole person was a little distracted.
As a replacement, the other representatives of the Yan Guofang expounded some positions very angrily. Emotional? It can be said that it is reasonable.
However, in the face of Vina's hard-line attitude, these views all pale and weak.
Because no matter how you negotiate? No one in the Yan country dared to release cruel words such as using war to solve the problem.
The reason is very simple, no one, including Lin Hong, has this right, and no one can bear this consequence.
If a negotiation ends in a table-turning, it will only prove the incompetence of diplomats, and that force is only a last resort in the face of world powers.
....
Listening to the twittering arguments of the representative of the Yan Kingdom, Vina also sat back in her chair and waved her hand in disgust.
"Don't say it, it's all nonsense, not a word is useful."
Then she looked at Lin Hong.
"Lord Lin, you are the governor of Yanguo North China, and you are also the boss of this meeting, my attitude is already very clear, Xichuan, Dongzhou, I will not let any of them, as for Kanye Bay, I haven't considered it for the time being, but I can't rule out the possibility that I will be interested in the future."
Staring at Lin Hong with the momentum of the superior, Vena continued.
"Lord Lin, I don't want to hear some meaningless words anymore, the matter has come to this point, you can give a final response, whether your Yan Kingdom is fighting or withdrawing."
"I ....."
"Don't blame me for not reminding me in advance, if Yan Guo is still unclear, it may cause some misunderstandings, after all, I am a very cautious person and like to take precautions."
.....
Lin Hong could never have imagined that it was obviously a political game of ownership, but it inexplicably turned into a war between the two countries.
And now the problem of the century has fallen on him.
Yan Guo sent troops to the East Country this time, and he was not ready for war at all, everything was just to reflect his attitude, because no matter from which angle he analyzed, the probability of two world powers going to war because of a small East Kingdom is very small.
But now, Vena threw the final weight directly into his hand, and the two ends of the scale were two choices he couldn't decide no matter what.
In this meeting, Lin Hong showed weakness for the first time.
"This ......"
"Lord Lin, is it a battle, or a retreat."
"King Vena, this matter is very important, I hope you will think twice."
Vena furrowed her eyebrows.
"I don't understand what it means."
In an extremely difficult tone, Lin Hong finally squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth.
"I ..... I can't be the master. ”
.....
If it is placed in the North China region that Lin Hong is in charge of, whether it is the power of life and death, or the military, business and civil affairs, he can say everything.
But in this matter, although he doesn't want to admit it for the sake of face, he really can't be the master.
Hearing his words, Xia Feng, who was standing behind Vina, smiled "poof".
"Damn, Lord Lin, you have been persecuting Lai Lai here for a long time, I thought you were the Heavenly King Lao Tzu of the Yan Kingdom, you can't be the master for a long time, so you are talking about Nima here."
Lin Hong's old face was red.
"Xia Feng, you speak with respect!"
Xia Feng pursed his lips and continued nonchalantly.
"Lao Tzu has enough respect, not only me, but for this discussion, His Majesty Vena came in person, what about you? Sent a governor who can't be the master, what's the matter, look down on His Majesty Vena? Or look down on the empire on which the sun never sets? ”
Although he didn't understand the empire on which the sun never sets, Lin Hong was still speechless.
....
Xia Feng perfectly performed the work of a horse boy in a meeting, and after speaking, he looked at Vina proudly.
But Vena turned her head and glared at him fiercely.
"Shut up, it's not your turn to speak."
"Oh."
