Chapter 1179: First Strike
The year 1095 in the Terra calendar, early winter.
In the face of repeated sincere invitations from the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Yan, Xia Feng finally set off for Fengyang City after finishing the "Golden Stone" experiment in Yandong to discuss the border conflict with Ursas.
The Ministry of the Interior is the administrative center of the Yan Kingdom, and as a symbol of the highest administrative power, it sounds outrageous to invite a governor under his command to invite him and delay it again and again.
But now, no one dares to object to this seemingly outrageous practice.
In the past, the Yandong Special Economic Zone was an area where Yanguo did not care too much, as long as it was stable, it was enough, but now, Yandong has become the "backer" of Yanguo in a sense.
This can be seen from the welcoming ceremony for the governor of Yandong.
.....
Yanguo, Fengyang City, East Gate.
On this day, 5,000 Imperial City Guards lined up neatly outside the city, and the road leading from the city gate to the Imperial City was all cleared, and the people in the city were not allowed to obstruct it.
At the gate of the city, Prime Minister Yan led the newly appointed Governor of Yanchuan, the Governor of North China, and the Governor of the Southwest, who was also ordered to come this time, waiting in the cold wind.
Behind the few people in high positions, all the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs wore official robes and stood straight.
The person they were waiting for was none other than the governor of Yandong, Xia Feng, who liked to be late.
20 minutes later.
As the four black helicopters stopped outside the city, the long-awaited figures of the senior officials of the various ministries finally appeared.
This time, Xia Feng did not appear at the gate of Fengyang City like a homeless man eating sugar gourds, but appeared like a "gangster godfather" surrounded by Zhou Liang and Xigong Ling, as well as at least more than 40 black steel elites holding source stone guns.
Of course, in the eyes of the officials of the Yan Kingdom, Xia Feng can no longer be called a gangster, nor is he a godfather.
Yandong belongs to the Yan country but is not under the jurisdiction of the Yan country, Yandong does not set up an army but no one dares to set foot on it, this kind of subversion of common sense, no one dares to ask, all thanks to Xia Feng alone.
A person like him, I'm afraid it can only be described in two words, Xiaoxiong.
.....
With the figure of the summer breeze walking towards the city gate, the 5,000 Imperial City Guards shouted neatly.
"See Lord Governor Yandong!"
In front of the city gate, except for the Minister of State and several other governors, the remaining officials, regardless of their official positions, all clasped their fists and bowed their heads to show their humility.
Wearing a black coat and a red scarf that will always walk together, Xia Feng stood in front of Yan Guoxiang in the cold wind.
"See the Prime Minister."
When he said these six words, Xia Feng stood straight, not even the most basic nod, these six words were just his last respect for the Yanguo political system.
To be honest, even with Yandong's current status, there is no need for Minister Yan to go out of the city to greet him in person, and his willingness to put down his position to do so can only prove the importance of this matter.
This time, I'm afraid that Yanguo will really have to rely on Yandong.
Standing at eye level with Xia Feng, Yan Guoxiang's eyes showed a sense of helplessness.
"Governor Xia, it's been a hard journey."
"It should."
Subsequently, the newly appointed Governor of Yanchuan and the Governor of North China also solemnly greeted Xia Feng, and even the Governor of the Southwest, Quinturier, who liked to be maverick before, patted him on the shoulder very cordially.
As for the greetings of the officials of the other ministries, Xia Feng didn't even look at it.
The only thing that made him pay a little attention was that the deputy minister named Zhao He had now disappeared.
He believed that Master Zhao did not resign or be demoted, but really disappeared from this world.
After the meeting outside Fengyang City, he received a look from the eyes of Prime Minister Yan Guo, and the commander of the Praetorian Guard shouted.
"The Praetorian Guards obeyed the order and escorted the Minister of State and Governor Xia back to the Imperial City!"
"Yes!"
Riding in the exquisite and luxurious royal carriage, the mighty forbidden army returned to the imperial city.
.....
Imperial City, inside the nave.
Xia Feng and Yan Guoxiang sat side by side, the other three governors sat on either side of them, and the rest were more than a dozen officials from various ministries.
Among the five governors, only Wei Yanwu did not come.
There is no need for any so-called formality in this meeting, let alone a sense of ceremony, because the situation is really urgent, and the minister of the country is directly to the point.
"In recent days, the border situation between Dayan and Usas is like a dry firewood, and there is a tendency to burn the prairie at any time, because of the previous incident, I thought that Usas would be reined in, but since the beginning of autumn, the other party's re-formed infected person clearance team has been active on the border again, and has crossed the border many times, and clashed with the infected people and garrisons in our border cities, this matter has reached an intolerable level, this time, we may have to take measures."
Subsequently, the officials of the various ministries, led by several governors, expressed their views on the matter.
However, these old guys analyzed and estimated, and after talking for a long time, no one came up with an accurate plan, just some painless suggestions.
Among them, the newly appointed governor of Yanchuan belonged to the conservative faction, and he advocated that the Ministry of Internal Affairs actively communicate with the Usas officials, repeatedly emphasizing and clarifying the stakes.
As for the governor of North China, his attitude was slightly tougher, after all, there were too many areas bordering Ursas in North China.
The Governor of North China said that the Ministry of Internal Affairs had communicated frequently enough, and even issued many warnings, but to no avail, and in this case, I am afraid that the only way to do this is to strike at the "cross-border" Usas infected people to show their attitude.
However, the plan was opposed by several officials.
If it was only a small-scale encounter on the border, it could barely be said to be over, but if Dayan took purposeful and tough military measures, I am afraid that this matter would be a big problem.
The worst-case outcome is an all-out war between Ursas and the Yan Kingdom.
......
During the discussion, Xia Feng didn't speak, and Yan Guoxiang said anything more.
Moreover, he could sense that Yan Guoxiang was secretly observing him.
This meeting was not the first high-level meeting of the Great Yan to deal with Ursas this year, in other words, before he came to the imperial capital this time, this kind of meeting on the border issue of Usas had been held countless times.
Obviously, the conflict of positions, the analysis of the pros and cons that have been clarified since the beginning of the meeting, are in a sense addressed to him.
20 minutes later.
It's like the text foreshadowing of the plot, and what should be said is basically finished.
Yan Guoxiang coughed lightly, and finally looked at Xia Feng next to him.
"Governor Xia, how do you think this border conflict in Ursath should be handled?"
Sitting calmly in his seat, Xia Feng was expressionless and said lightly.
"Prime Minister, as far as I know, the Infected Eradication Team of Ursas was not established this year, and the border friction between Dayan and Usas is not the first time, if you ask me how to deal with it, I'm sorry, I really don't have much experience."
Deliberately ignoring Xia Feng's intention to "dodge", Yan Guoxiang immediately asked.
"It's okay, you don't need any experience, Governor Xia just said it directly, this border conflict that is related to the interests and dignity of my Dayan, from your point of view, how should it be handled properly."
"Heh, the prime minister is embarrassing me, I am only the governor who has just been in office for a year, and I can't handle international relations well."
"It's okay, you just have to say it."
"Okay then."
In the face of repeated questions, Xia Feng's voice was very rational.
"In my opinion, there are only two ways to deal with this matter, first, open the borders and fully accept infected people from Ursas into the mainland ..... of Yanna"
Xia Feng's words were immediately interrupted by Governor Yanchuan, and although the others didn't say anything, their solemn expressions proved that they also thought the same as Governor Yanchuan.
"Governor Xia, are you kidding, open the borders and accept infected people from Ursas? Do you know how many infected people there are in Ursus, and what is the difference between this and luring a wolf into the house? ”
Xia Feng nodded expressionlessly.
"Oh, I didn't expect that, well, since this first plan doesn't work, then only the second option remains."
"What a plan."
"It's very simple, strike first, before Usas mobilizes the army, the Yanguo army directly crosses the border, captures all the cities on the border of Usas, and then goes all the way north, directly to Chernobog, east and west, and comprehensively establishes a defense line and supply routes, if it can, the army can continue to go north, directly tear the territory of Usas from the middle, so that its east and west cannot meet each other, and then, annihilated one by one."
