Arknights is too real, right?

Spring 1095 in the Terran calendar.

Taking a dispute between Xichuan and Dongzhou as the trigger, two more powerful countries intervened in this closed and backward island country.

After that, Dongguo changed its name to Yandong Special Zone.

For the people who were born and raised in the Eastern Kingdom, this change may be difficult to adapt to in a short time.

From this moment on, they will no longer be able to call themselves people from the East Kingdom, but people from the Yan Kingdom, or Yandong people.

Of course, no matter who they are, they are ordinary people who are protected by a powerful country. They no longer have to worry about war and can live peacefully.

Two weeks later.

A group of officials from the interior of Yan country responsible for taking over the administrative affairs of the [Yandong Special Zone] arrived.

This team is very complete, ranging from the deputy district officer to the police force, with officials from countless functional departments in between.

For example, the Department of Political and Legal Affairs, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, the Haimen Department of Transportation, the Ministry of Environment and Health and Safety, and even the Ministry of Tourism Development, etc.

In addition, the Yandong Security Bureau has also been established, which is the most powerful law enforcement agency.

As Xia Feng had guessed before, Yandong Special Administrative Region currently does not have a military headquarters and does not have an army system.

In addition to the military police of the Security Bureau, there is only a peacekeeping force of 20,000 people to respond to emergencies.

To be honest, the armed force of 20,000 people is really pitiful.

Judging from the land area of ​​[Yandong Special Zone], it is almost the same as Victoria. However, the security force under the Victoria Imperial Supervision Office exceeds 200,000, not including temporary workers.

Even if the population of Dongguo is currently very small, the gap is still too large.

There was no other way. They had only allocated so many people. If it wasn't enough, the governor had to find a way on his own.

Judging from this point of view, the senior officials of Yan Kingdom did not put down their guard against him, a governor who relied on "connections" to take office.

A governor who doesn't even have his own army is a joke.

Take Lin Hong's governor of North China as an example. There are 300,000 troops stationed in the entire North China region. Lin Hong integrates military and political affairs by himself. To put it bluntly, he is the "Chief of Military Affairs" and "Chief of Administration" of North China.

As for Longmen, which is also a special zone, the governor Wei Yanwu also holds military power, and even has administrative autonomy that is almost out of Yanguo's inland political system.

Looking at it this way, there is no harm without comparison. He, the governor, is really the worst.

However, this situation was completely within Xia Feng's expectation. He didn't feel aggrieved at all. On the contrary, he felt great.

Because even if Yan Guo equipped him with a large number of troops from the interior, he did not think that he could fully control it, and it would even become a restriction on his actions.

Yes, he needs troops, but he doesn't need troops sent by others.

Even though the Yandong Special Zone currently does not allow the establishment of a military headquarters, it is just a regulation. As the governor, he has a hundred ways to understand the word games in the regulation.

Again, as long as you have money and power, everything will be possible.

According to the wishes of the governor, Xiye Mansion was established as the capital city of Yandong and renamed Yandong City.

The original residence of the Nishimiya family was also purchased and used as the governor's residence.

According to the plan, Yandong City, as the primary development city, will become the trade hub of the entire Yandong in the next few months.

Inside the Governor's Palace.

The governor-general's conferment ceremony, presided over by Prime Minister Yan Guo personally, was quickly completed.

After an emotionless "pledge of allegiance" and a professional process with Yanguo characteristics, Xia Feng received two tokens symbolizing the identity of the governor.

One is a governor's seal woven with gold thread, which looks extremely luxurious.

The other one is a simpler Governor Token.

This token is about half the size of a palm and can be carried anywhere. The token is simple in style and meticulously crafted. The royal carving process is almost miraculous and almost impossible to copy.

After handing over the two status symbols, Prime Minister Yan very formally introduced to him a middle-aged man who was accompanying him.

"Xia Feng, this is Adjutant Zhou, you will be working together in the future."

According to Yan Guoxiang's introduction, this person's name is Zhou Liang, and he is the district adjutant of the Yandong Special Administrative Region assigned by the Yan Kingdom's interior.

To put it simply, he is Yandong’s second-in-command.

Xia Feng didn't have any strong hostility towards this person's existence, but he couldn't be said to be friendly either.

You don't need to think about it to know that this Zhou Liang is the eye sent by the top officials of the Yan Kingdom to monitor him. Of course, monitoring may not be called monitoring. At most, it can be regarded as supervising the general direction to prevent him from taking advantage of the governor's power to act randomly.

As for the real surveillance, there must be someone else.

Standing in front of Xia Feng, Zhou Liang was obviously dozens of years old, but he was as humble as a doorman, bowing and smiling.

"Governor Xia, I have admired you for a long time. From now on, you will be my immediate superior. If you have anything to do, just ask your subordinates. I will definitely work hard for the development of Yandong Special Zone."

He stretched out his hand not to hit the smiling person. Faced with such a flattering attitude, Xia Feng would naturally not deliberately put on any airs.

"Mr. Zhou is serious. You and I are both officials working for Dayan. Although we are divided into superiors and subordinates, we still need to work together and cooperate with each other in our work. We also need to correct each other's wrong decisions."

Zhou Liang was able to obtain the second-in-command position when the Yandong Special Economic Zone was first established. It was definitely not luck, let alone connections.

What he relies on is the ultimate in flattering skills, as well as a completely put aside respect for others and an extremely humble attitude towards his superiors.

Hearing Xia Feng's words, Zhou Liang lowered his head almost to his waist. He didn't know if he was pretending, but his face turned pale.

"Governor Xia, don't you dare? How dare I correct you? For the sake of Yandong, I will definitely do my best for you!"

Some people always want to soar into the sky and stand above thousands of people, but in the end they fall worse than anyone else because of lack of strength.

But there is a kind of person whose ultimate goal in life is to be the second child for ten thousand years. You may say that he has no ambition, but not everyone can become the second child.

This kind of complete lack of ambition cannot be faked, and it can easily make the boss put down his guard, allowing them to secure their second position.

Xia Feng secretly thought that judging from Zhou Liang's performance, even if he had a heart attack and burped the next day, it would be impossible for Zhou Liang to replace him as governor.

He likes this kind of person.

Zhou Liang's humbleness has become a habit, but Xia Feng's few words just now won the approval of Prime Minister Yan.

Especially the sentence "You and I are both officials working for Dayan" is very flattering.

For Yan Guoxiang, Dayan's decision to reuse Xia Feng, an "outsider", was extremely risky, and there were many voices of opposition among senior officials.

At this juncture when all eyes were focused on Yandong, he was afraid that Xia Feng would pretend to be an old man and drag him as hard as 2,580,000 yuan, which would cause trouble.

At this moment, seeing Xia Feng's reasonable behavior, he finally felt relieved.

With a satisfied look on his face, Yan Guoxiang patted Xia Feng on the shoulder like an elder.

"Governor Xia, the rest of Yandong will be left to you. If you have any difficulties, please report back in time. I believe in your ability and you will definitely be able to develop Yandong into the second Dragon Gate."

Facing the instructions from the Prime Minister, Xia Feng bowed his head slightly in humility.

"This is my responsibility, and I will definitely live up to the expectations of the Prime Minister."

After that, he leaned forward again and said in a small voice.

"Prime Minister, thank you for your support in this matter. I always repay kindness. If there is any important matter in the future, I will do my best."

The "important things" Xia Feng was referring to were obviously not matters on the surface.

At this, Prime Minister Yan was slightly surprised at first, and then nodded with a look of understanding.

"Well, that's right. I'm glad you have such kindness. The situation in the interior of Yan country is complicated. Several big families are fighting in separate factions. It's not something you can tell clearly for the time being. Yandong is remote. At present, you only need to take care of it. Just take good care of your own territory.”

"I see."

Xia Feng raised his eyes, his expression sincere.

"Prime Minister, I am a bit vulgar. Let's put it this way. You will be my boss from now on. Life is unpredictable. No matter what happens in the future, I will never forget your kindness to me."

These two sentences can be described as showing true feelings, and they are very disgusting. They are obviously a bit excessive.

But Yan Guoxiang seemed to like this very much. He was very moved and could only repeat it happily.

"Okay, okay!"

Yan Guoxiang was very moved, but what he didn't know was that the last person who heard Xia Feng say such words was named Fredo.

The next one is Richie.

As for the fate of these two "boss", one ran away in embarrassment and silenced the ruins.

The other one can only slowly reflect on this "touch" in heaven.
