Chapter 1098: The Vanishing Eastern Kingdom
This strange aura did not make Xia Feng too vigilant, because he was very sure that it was not the breath of the deep sea.
The Great Yan Country came in person, and the Yan Country naturally also had a master to protect him.
Among the guards, there are definitely not a few strange people with special abilities, and they are nothing.
.....
Before Vena entered, Terreg had already led people to explore the way in advance, and the elite soldiers of the golden sword and golden armor guarded almost all the corners.
The group walked through the courtyard and walked to the living room in the inner courtyard.
At the door of the living room, Xia Feng finally met the legendary minister of state in Lin Hong's mouth.
At this time, behind this adult, there were at least twenty special guards wearing red clothes and covering their faces.
Yan Guoxiang was surrounded at the front, this person was around fifty years old, not tall, only about 1.7 meters, judging from his body shape, he was not a person who practiced martial arts.
The dragon horns on the top of his head represent his race, with a square head and a national character face, the only thing that surprised Xia Feng was that the eyes that looked light and clear, but were deep and incomprehensible.
In terms of identity, although he is the minister of a country, he is still a big difference from Vina, Yan Country is a country of etiquette, and when he meets the lord of another country, he should bow his head.
But at this moment, this minister of the country stood still, did not deliberately, he just behaved naturally, and there was no hint of arrogance in his eyes.
"King Vena."
"Speak of the country."
The two protagonists who came to negotiate just said hello flatly.
....
Lin Hong stood with a straight waist next to the prime minister, and compared with before, the whole person seemed to have full confidence.
Introduced by Xigong Ling, Minister Yan said hello to Nanfeng, who was the chief of military affairs of the empire.
Subsequently, in the face of the Chief of the General Staff, the Commander-in-Chief of the Central Army, and the Commander of the Royal Knights, he did not respond too much, and did not even nod his head.
With Xia Feng's identity, it is a bit abrupt to appear here, because theoretically, he is neither an official nor a soldier, strictly speaking, he is just a businessman.
However, unlike treating others, Yan Guoxiang actually took the initiative to speak to him.
"You're Xia Feng."
Xia Feng was a little surprised, and could only respond simply.
"I am."
"Yes."
For some reason, Prime Minister Yan's slightly serious face showed an inexplicable smile at Xia Feng in the next second.
There were no words other than laughter.
Looking at the middle-aged man's smiling face at him, Xia Feng couldn't help but shudder.
To be reasonable, he has never met this Yanguo Xiangxiang, and if he is asked to evaluate it, he even suspects that this middle-aged uncle is a homosexual.
.....
The meeting room has already been prepared, and the discussion about Nishikawa's final destination is about to begin.
At this moment, Vena, in the presence of officials from both sides, made a somewhat inappropriate request.
"Prime Minister Yan, this time I want to talk to you about the ownership of Xichuan alone."
As soon as these words came out, not only Lin Hong frowned, but even the Victorian generals such as Nanfeng were very puzzled, and as for Xia Feng, it was even more unexpected.
"Vina ......"
Seeing Vena's eyes, Xia Feng's voice was retracted.
However, just when everyone was puzzled, the Minister of Great Yan nodded calmly.
"Yes, that's what I wanted, King Vina, please."
Vina walked into the living room, and Yan Guoxiang followed.
"Bang!"
With a muffled thud, the door slammed shut.
Vina's decision had her own reasons, and no one on the Victorian side dared to question her actions without consulting anyone.
"Royal Knights, vigilance!"
"Yes!"
Following the orders of Captain Terrego, the elite soldiers of the Royal Knights surrounded the entire conference room, ensuring the security of secret talks on the perimeter.
The red-clothed guards of the Yan State side only guarded the position at the door, and there were no extra movements.
.....
Xia Feng and Lin Hong stood in the courtyard, and the two of them could now be described as having the same bewildered expression.
Turning his head sideways, Xia Feng raised his eyebrows.
"Lord Lin, I said that I would call your boss here, but what kind of minister did you get, can this guy call the shots?"
Lin Hong obviously didn't want to talk nonsense with a vulgar person like Xia Feng, so he snorted heavily, and then brushed his sleeves away.
"Hey, why are you leaving, not waiting here?"
.....
It turns out that Lin Hong is very experienced in international talks, and it is not that he does not want to wait, but he does not want to wait stupidly.
For the next 2 hours, the conference room was silent, and the talks between the two continued.
During this period, Xia Feng couldn't bear it anymore, so he asked Xigong Ling to go in to deliver water as the master, but he was stopped outside.
Although it was impossible to spy on the conversation inside, both the Royal Knights and the Red Guards of the Yan Kingdom were sure that the two inside were safe and were not allowed to be disturbed.
The scorching sun was in the sky, the summer wind and the south wind were waiting outside like two telephone poles, and the generals of the Victorian army were also initially inseparable.
Everyone was anxiously waiting.
....
Xia Feng didn't know what Vina was going to talk about with the Yan Kingdom, but judging from this posture, he definitely didn't want to be interfered with, to be precise, he didn't want to be interfered with by Victoria's senior generals, including himself.
It can be seen that it should not be a tough attitude towards Xichuan's belonging, otherwise, it must be that the more people on your side, the more confidence you have.
Could it be that Vena plans to give up Nishikawa in order to obtain some more practical benefits?
Objectively speaking, this is indeed the most conservative and prudent way.
Yan Guo has already taken Kanye Bay, and the desire for Xichuan must be extremely strong, if Vina is willing to give up Dongzhou again, it is an exaggeration to say, Yan Guo is even willing to exchange everything.
For example, trade treaties, real money, or the lifeblood of this world, the source stone.
As long as Vina Ken agrees, he can gain benefits in this game that far exceed the losses of the Central Army in this battle, and even make Victoria's national strength go to a higher level.
In advance it is, as long as she wants.
.....
Waiting silently at the door, Xia Feng's brain couldn't help but think.
Based on what he knew about Vena, this seemingly profit-maximizing choice did not match Vina's character, because she was not a person who would put down her dignity for the sake of immediate gain.
If Xichuan is ceded, although he will gain wealth, he will lose the morale of Victoria's Central Army.
The soldiers did not understand politics, and the soldiers only felt that the swords and guns in their hands did not lay the land for the king.
If it is a good politician, there is certainly no need to weigh how to choose, and politicians do not talk about feelings, and will always take interests as the first priority.
But the one who made the final choice at this moment was Vina.
In the end, it was-for-tat with the Yan State, not giving an inch, and using strong military and national strength to fight for the right to rule Xichuan.
Or choose to compromise and get the most out of it in a way that avoids conflict.
Nobody knows.
....
....
"Bang!"
As the doors of the conference room opened again, the torturous wait finally ended.
Vina and Yan Guo walked out side by side, stood in front of the hall, and jointly announced the final results of the deliberations to the senior officials of both sides.
This result overturned all the previous speculations of Xia Feng.
....
From now on, the ruling rights of Dongzhou and Xichuan will be owned by the Yan Kingdom, and together with the Kanye Bay area, the entire Eastern Kingdom will be merged into one.
Since then, there is no longer the name of the Eastern Kingdom in the world, and the Yan Kingdom has renamed this place.
It was established as [Yandong Special Zone].
In addition, the Victorian Empire would retain about 3,000 square kilometers of land along the south coast of Xichuan as an imperial colony, and at the same time have the right to station troops.
In this political game, Victoria made a comprehensive compromise and took the initiative to give up Xichuan, Dongzhou, and Kanye Bay, which was almost equivalent to giving up the entire eastern country.
As for the most important condition for the two countries to reach a consensus, there is only one one.
....
From now on, Xia Feng will be responsible for all administrative matters in the Yandong area.
This decision was granted by the highest authority of the Yan Country, and the full name of the position is.
- Yanguo, Governor of Yandong.
