Arknights is too real, right?

In the Xichuan area now, there are hundreds of thousands of troops from both Victoria and Yan Kingdoms, scaring the people so much that they even postponed sowing in early spring.

From the perspective of ordinary people, with this posture, they don't even know whether the seeds they sow will be harvested in the autumn.

The Victoria Army occupied more than ten cities in the interior of Xichuan, and the Yan Kingdom's army also entered peripheral cities from the northern coast.

So far, neither party has a clear intention. In this case, the interview with Yan Guo is particularly important.

Because this is the only chance to break the deadlock.

No matter which party is concerned, this is not their home court. Of course, the venue for the interview is the Nishimiya family's mansion.

To be honest, this scene will look very weird.

It's like a lion and a tiger jointly discovered a lone buffalo. Both beasts wanted to eat it, but didn't want to fight over the stutter, so they decided to discuss it.

However, both lions and tigers are a little wary of each other's tricks.

In order to prevent anyone from playing dirty tricks during the negotiation, the buffalo who was used as food stood up and said, "You all come in front of me, and I will be your guarantee. Whoever plays dirty tricks will be the grandson. Let's discuss how to eat me."

But there was nothing we could do about it, the buffalo couldn't run away, so we could only be happy.

In this way, with the Nishinomiya family as the host, Lin Honghui, the governor of North China of the Yan Kingdom, came in person to meet with the highest-ranking officer of the Victoria military.

Of course, Lin Hong may have misunderstood the definition of "highest-level officer".

Unlike the Yan Kingdom, the Victoria Empire adopted a system of separation of military and political affairs. Even the Chief of Military Affairs could not decide whether to fight or not to fight. He could only decide how the empire should fight this war if they wanted to fight it.

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

It is true that the Chief of Military Affairs cannot decide anything alone, but as a member of the royal family, Nanfeng can protect the bottom line of the Victoria Empire without asking for anyone's consent.

For example, if Lin Hong demands that the Victoria Army immediately and unconditionally withdraw from Dongguo, and his attitude is so tough that no discussion is allowed.

If that were the case, Nanfeng could just smash the tea cup into Lin Hong's face.

Apart from this, as long as there is still room for negotiation, it is impossible for both parties to break up.

In the living room of the cherry blossom forest, Xia Feng was still making final decisions before heading to the Nishinomiya family mansion.

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

"Boss, don't be so gloomy. If the negotiation breaks down by then, just give your order and we will close the door and beat the dog. We will kill Lin Hong in the room first."

Wolf Da also agreed.

"Yes, or we can just tie people up and use them as hostages. If Yan Kingdom's North China Army doesn't withdraw from Dong Kingdom, we will chop off Lin Hong's head."

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

"Bullshit."

He directly rejected it and everyone fell silent.

This is not about gangsters talking about business and bringing in gangsters to take advantage of gangsters.

Xia Feng knew very well that since Lin Hong dared to come for an interview, he must be fully prepared and not afraid of any underhanded tricks.

He had not forgotten that the last time he met Lin Hong, he was accompanied by more than ten red guards.

Yanguo is a country with many strong people, such as Hongdao, Master Xiao, Yi Nanxue, etc. Many of the masters he is familiar with are from Yanguo.

Of course, as the governor of North China, Lin Hong must be surrounded by all kinds of peerless masters.

And to take a step back, whether Lin Hong is killed or tied up, it will not solve the fundamental problem, it will only make the matter fall into an irreversible dead end.

Because Lin Hong was only the person in charge of this military operation, not the decision-maker, even Wei, the governor of Longmen with autonomy, did not dare to send troops to invade other countries.

All of this is the wish of the supreme ruler of the Yan Kingdom, the Great Yan Emperor.

For Xia Feng, there is no better way now. The only thing he can do is to try to stabilize the situation before Wei Na arrives.

A few days later.

According to the agreed time, he got on the helicopter and headed to the Nishimiya family mansion.

Knowing the importance of this negotiation and the current tense situation, both parties had a tacit understanding and did not deepen their suspicions.

The Yan Kingdom army was still stationed at the northern border area, but a mobile force of 5,000 people was mobilized 2 kilometers away from Xiye Mansion as a response.

Faced with the act of sincerity, the Victoria military showed even greater magnanimity.

Nishikawa's large army remained stationary, but the 500-strong Royal Knights escorted Nanfeng to the outskirts of Nishikawa Mansion.

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

To be honest, it is impossible for such an interview between senior generals of the two countries to lead to a "black and white" situation.

On one side is the Governor of Yan State in North China, and on the other is the Chief of Military Affairs of Victoria. No matter who kills whom, the impact will be very bad, and may even cause a major breach of trust that is irreparable in the international community.

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

Morning, 10 o'clock sharp.

Representatives from both sides finally arrived.

In the living room of the Nishinomiya family's residence, more than ten people were sitting around a long table.

Behind the left and right sides of the long table, there were more than ten guards from each side standing.

As for Victoria, a total of four people attended the talks, namely Nan Feng, the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Military Affairs, the Commander-in-Chief of the Central Military Region, and the Chief of General Staff of the Imperial Military Department who came with the army.

Of course, there is also Xia Feng. He is also the only one among the four who does not have any position, but still sits at the table without any problem.

Yanguo had a slightly larger number of people, seven in total. Except for Lin Hong, who was the governor of North China, Xia Feng was not very clear about the identities of the others, such as prime ministers, masters, and generals.

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

As for the Nishimiya family, which was the third party in this negotiation, all three representatives, the head of the family, Nishimiya Ling, the retainer Nishimiya Hikoshi, and the family's number one general, Nishimiya Ryuhei, were absent.

After everyone was seated, Xi Gong Ling gave instructions to the servants outside the door.

"close the door!"

"yes."

With a muffled sound of "bang", the door of the conference hall was slammed shut, and the meeting concerning the fate of Nishikawa began.

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

Behind Lin Hong, there were more than ten guards in red clothes. Four of them were dressed differently from others. They wore red robes, even their faces were covered underneath.

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

One is Shuangxing, one is Ifrit, and the other is Master Xiao.

This is not fear. If you are sailing a thousand-year ship with caution, even though you have to appear nonchalant, you still have to take the last layer of insurance.

If something goes wrong during the negotiation and it turns into the worst outcome, it is uncertain who will die and who will live. Anyway, the Nishimiya family's mansion may not be saved.
