Arknights is too real, right?

As the third party presiding over the meeting, Nishi Gong Ling's attitude was extremely humble.

Sitting in the middle, he asked tentatively.

"Chief Nanfeng, Master Lin Hong, if there are no other questions, let's officially start now."

Lin Hong's voice came.

"Wait a moment."

Squinting his eyes, Lin Hong focused on the face of Xia Feng, who was sitting diagonally opposite.

"I already know the identities of several members of the Victoria Army, but I don't know who you are."

Xia Feng blinked and replied in a neither humble nor overbearing tone.

"I am Xia Feng, Master Lin. Didn't we meet last time? Did you forget it so quickly?"

"I know you are Xia Feng, I mean, who are you and why are you sitting here."

Lin Hong's doubts were reasonable. From his perspective, if one asked Xia Feng whether he was qualified to sit here, the answer would be yes.

What Lin Hong really wants to ask is where Xia Feng's current position belongs, whether he represents Victoria or the Nishimiya family.

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

"Oh, I'm an official from Victoria. I'm here to help Director Nanfeng with some advice."

Lin Hong frowned slightly.

"Official? As far as I know, Victoria officially announced that you were dead a long time ago. Why are you now an official?"

Xia Feng's answer was as calm as if he was chatting with a friend.

"Oh, that was a misunderstanding. In fact, the official made a mistake. At that time, I just ran out of the country to travel without saying hello to anyone. They thought I was dead, but in fact I was not. Later, I filled out the leave application form and the official was reinstated. ."

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

"What position did you resume?"

"Master Lin, is this important?"

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

Xia Feng thought about it for a moment.

"Well, I am the director of the Special Operations Division of the Imperial Supervisory Office. If you don't understand this official position, you can think of him as a detective who catches thieves."

Several people representing Yan Kingdom frowned at the same time, and then cast contemptuous glances at Xia Feng.

"Captain?"

Only Lin Hong snorted heavily.

"Hmph, that's nonsense. Forget it, I'm too lazy to bother with you."

In Lin Hong's view, there is a reason why Xia Feng is sitting here. At least for now, it is known that he represents Victoria.

In this situation, faced with a huge sense of pressure that almost freezes the air, an ordinary person would naturally not dare to take a breath, let alone negotiate with clear ideas.

However, Lin Hong was not nervous at all. Instead, he kept observing everyone secretly from the beginning.

No longer paying attention to Xia Feng, he looked at Nan Feng, who was sitting directly opposite, and his tone was slightly polite.

"Chief Nanfeng, as far as I know, you are a member of the Victoria royal family."

Nanfeng was leaning on a chair wearing a military coat, showing no qualities or etiquette that a soldier or royal family should have.

"That's right, I don't like to beat around the bush. You can tell me directly what your Yan Nation's intentions are."

"Ah."

Lin Hongpi said with a smile.

"Chief Nanfeng, compared to my Dayan's intention, in order of priority, should I ask you first, what is the intention of the Victoria military?"

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

"The empire officially issued an international announcement before the war. All military operations of our army against the Eastern Kingdom are reasonable and compliant. The purpose of sending troops to the Eastern Province this time is to punish the Yingwu family who committed crimes in our country before."

Faced with these expected remarks, Lin Hong continued to ask.

"Your country's crusade against the Yingwu family is justified. I, Dayan, have no objections, but what I don't understand is that the Yingwu 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, interrupted and asked.

"Mr. Lin, what's your problem? We 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 its intention to invade. It is called a crusade, but it is actually an occupation."

Faced with the immediate slap on the hat, the Chief of General Staff of the Victoria Military Department immediately retorted.

"All military actions of our army are based on crusade, and this move is supported by all allies. I hope your country will not judge a gentleman with a villain's heart."

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

The chief of general staff continued to reply without a blush on his face.

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

As soon as these words came out, Xi Gong Ling, as a third party, couldn't help but swallowed his saliva. It was obvious that the point had been reached.

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

"The ownership of Dongzhou does need to be discussed in the long term, but this is an internal matter in Dongzhou. It should be negotiated by the local Nishinomiya family and Kamino family. What does it have to do with you, Victoria?"

As the second-in-command of the Victoria military, the Chief of General Staff has a very clear mind.

"What Mr. Lin said is wrong. Of course it has something to do with our country."

"what is the relationship?"

"In this crusade, our country's Central Military Region dispatched more than 300,000 soldiers. Although the battle was easily crushed, the losses behind it can be said to be a waste of people and money. Military expenditures need to be supplemented, and the fallen soldiers need to be appeased. Who will pay for this loss?"

Seeing that Lin Hong obviously had no suitable response, Xia Feng next to him immediately fanned the flames.

"Yes, this is not as simple as killing someone to pay for his life. Mr. Lin should not understand this principle. Who will pay for the military expenses of a 300,000-strong army? Mr. Lin, will you pay for it?"

Lin Hong was choked by this rhetorical question.

If it was really just a matter of military expenditures, of course he could provide it. Or, if Victoria was given military expenditures and they could withdraw their troops, Yan Guo would simply laugh out loud.

For a large country like Dayan, they could still afford the military expenditure of 300,000 soldiers, but they could not afford it no matter what.

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

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

The chief of general staff snorted coldly.

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

"Oh, if your country does not withdraw its troops, it is suspected of invasion."

Listening to the candy being pulled back and forth, Nan Feng, who was sitting in the middle, suddenly raised his voice.

"Whether I withdraw my troops or not is none of your business. Why do you care so much?"

Lin Hong said calmly without any loss of expression.

"Why is Chief Nanfeng so excited? Well, since you asked, I will answer you. This matter is of course related to our Dayan. Since ancient times, our country Yan and Dongguo have been neighbors, and in recent years they have become trade partners. There are frequent contacts, just imagine, if my army, Dayan, were forced to the border of Victoria in the name of a crusade, and stationed for a long time without any reason, your country would probably have trouble sleeping and eating."

The atmosphere was somewhat solidified.

Facing Lin Hong's awe-inspiring words, Nanfeng's eyes gradually turned cold.

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

Lin Hong's attitude was not weak at all.

"It's not interference. This is my duty as a neighbor, Dayan."
