Arknights is too real, right?

Looking back now, Xia Feng realized that Wei Na had actually laid the groundwork for this in her last meeting with Yan Guo.

At that time, Vina deliberately separated his relationship with Victoria and formally "expelled" him from the country.

Although it is a bit self-deceiving, politics is sometimes like this.

Sometimes, the authenticity of things is not cared about. People are more concerned about the surface, just like being assigned a task to run errands and buy watermelon.

Even if the watermelon at the fruit stand is rotten inside, as long as it looks like a watermelon on the outside, you can complete the task and get paid for the errand.

On the contrary, no matter how red and sweet the apple next to it is, it won't work. Watermelon is a necessary condition for success or failure.

Buying back watermelons, getting paid, buying back apples, everything is fine. Even if the watermelon is rotten, it is the fruit stand's responsibility.

At the very least, you have to be a watermelon to start the next step.

Now he became the governor of Yandong.

Nanfeng was right. Judging from Yan State's political system, this could indeed be called a prince.

After calming down, Xia Feng roughly understood the whole story from his own perspective.

Yan Guo is determined to win Xichuan, and Victoria will not give in. If the stalemate continues, war is already foreseeable.

As long as it ends in war, no matter who wins or loses, the losses will be heavy, and the land of Xichuan, which is the battlefield, will be devastated.

Victoria's Central Army is not afraid of war, because they are here for war. Since the empire has decided to send troops, it means that it is ready to use force to solve the problem.

This determination has been vividly reflected in the previous talks, and I believe Lin Hong understands it.

Having experienced the Dark Ages and the crusade against the Dongzhou Yingwu Family, the Victoria Army is extremely powerful and experienced.

And it is not difficult to see from the previous details that Victoria has at least three firm strategic allies: Sami, Sargon, and Kjerag.

In addition, domestic trade interactions with Longmen are also extremely frequent.

Once the war starts, Yan Kingdom will be under tremendous pressure. Even if they win in the end relying on the advantage of geographical location, the losses will be difficult to make up for.

Both sides are very clear.

Once the war begins in the East Kingdom, the battlefield will be a fueling tactic, and the fight will be about family wealth.

Until one side cannot hold on any longer, that side will admit defeat. Otherwise, no side can threaten the interior.

It is impossible for the Yan Kingdom to cross the continent and attack southern Victoria, and vice versa.

It can be seen from Lin Hong's previous attitude that the Yan Kingdom did not want to use war to solve the problem from the beginning, but only wanted to gain dominance through exchange of interests.

Although Victoria was not afraid of war, due to the special nature of Xichuan, once war broke out in Xichuan, it would seriously violate the original intention of sending troops.

In other words, everything Xia Feng has done for this will be meaningless.

In this way, in this situation where both parties have concerns at the same time, a balance point must be found, and as soon as possible.

First of all, it is impossible to "divide the world equally" because it cannot solve the fundamental problem, but only changes the soup without changing the medicine.

If the two countries cut the East Kingdom in the middle, they will become the Nishinomiya family and the Sakurawu family before. The threat to each other will always exist, and even a tiny spark will cause a prairie fire.

Therefore, one party must make concessions on ownership rights and make up for the loss in other ways.

For example, two strangers found a large gold ring together on the street. Both of them are morally corrupt and want to keep it for themselves instead of returning it to the owner.

In order to prevent the owner from finding the lost property, they need to discuss the outcome as soon as possible.

Obviously, the gold ring cannot be broken open from the middle with bare hands, so it can only belong to one of them.

In other words, if the gold ring is worth 5,000 yuan, and you take it, you need to spend 2,500 yuan to give it to another person. This is a reasonable solution.

However, there is a subtle situation that reflects on the Dongguo incident.

The East Kingdom and the Yan Kingdom are close to each other, which is of very important strategic significance, so the Yan Kingdom cannot give up ownership rights. It must be the one who "owns the ring".

Objectively speaking, Victoria can give up the ring, which is no problem, but there is an "additional issue" in this.

Wei Na does not necessarily have to own Xi Chuan, but if she really gives up Xi Chuan, the survival of the Nishinomiya family cannot be guaranteed, and it will conflict with what Xia Feng insists on.

Even if Yan Guo makes a promise, it cannot be guaranteed. Once Victoria withdraws its troops, the so-called promise will be just empty words, and the situation will change due to various acquired factors.

Therefore, Yan Guo will not give up its power of rule, and Victoria is not short of money.

In this way, all conflicts converge into a "singularity point". As long as this problem is solved, all conflicts will be solved.

After rigorous discussions, a revolutionary decision was finally made.

Victoria completely gave up Xichuan, and was even willing to give up Dongzhou as well, in exchange for the appointment of Governor Yandong.

He, Xia Feng, became the governor of Yandong.

On the way back, Xia Feng secretly clenched his fists in deep thought.

From his current perspective, he can only see the surface of this result, but it also involves many deeper meanings.

First, he must gain the trust of the National Assembly of Victoria. Otherwise, Vina's self-destructive decision-making will be under unimaginable pressure after returning to the country.

Secondly, he had to gain Yan Guo's trust. Otherwise, it would not be as simple as pressure.

If the top officials of Yan State discover that he "turned his elbows outward" during his subsequent administration, he may be denied his rights and may even be killed.

In other words, this fatal disaster is already on its way.

On the surface, he gave him the position of governor, and then secretly killed him after the entire Yandong Special Zone was safely under Yan Guo's command.

To be honest, such despicable methods are completely possible in the hands of insidious politicians.

However, this is the path he chose, and it is also the only way to reach the top. Vina is the leader of a country, so he must grow into a person who can stand up to her.

If you ask who wants him to die the most at this moment, it is undoubtedly Lin Hong.

The birth of power was often accompanied by a bloody storm. He could even imagine that, except for Lin Hong, there must be many people in the Yan Kingdom's senior leadership who wanted him to die suddenly the next day.

However, he will not be robbed of his power, nor will he be killed secretly.

Because Huo Yu Xia Feng himself is a cruel killer.

At this moment, Xia Feng's worried eyes turned cold.

Wei Yanwu can firmly sit in the position of Governor of Longmen, so why can't he?

He not only wants to sit tight, but also wants to surpass everyone. This is the "road to godhood" that Wei Na helped pave the way for him, and he will not let down this expectation.

When it comes to politics, he may not be able to defeat some insidious and cunning masterminds, but when it comes to gangsters, his ways are wilder than anyone else.

He was determined to be the governor of Yandong.
