Arknights is too real, right?

More than a month has passed since the establishment of the Yandong Special Zone. Generally speaking, the initial development of Yandong has been smooth, and it can even be described as completely new.

However, the south coast colonies that Victoria gained during this dispute remained silent.

Except for the expansion of the Black Feather Sandworm Breeding Base, a private enterprise, the empire officially did not carry out any construction work. The "citizens" did not come, the "goods" did not come, and the troops stationed there were not even visible.

Just when Xia Feng was worried about whether Wei Na had a falling out with the National Assembly after returning to China, news finally came from Victoria.

As he expected, the National Council of the Empire expressed indignation at the decision Vina made privately as king.

However, indignation is indignation, and the king's words are just water thrown out. Even international agreements have been signed, and the empire has no room for regrets.

Unless the National Assembly now unanimously votes to depose King Vina, it may be possible to recover, but in reality, this is impossible.

Having just experienced the baptism of the dark ages, Vina is a symbol of the soul of the entire country.

To put it bluntly, if the handling of Dongguo's affairs can be regarded as a fault of Wei Na after succeeding as the king, then the ratio of all her merits and demerits should be 99:1.

In the eyes of the National Assembly, Veena is like an "immature mother". People will complain, blame, and find ways to redeem her mistakes, but they will never feel any hatred.

Now, the top leaders of the Victoria Empire finally reached a unified opinion and accepted the establishment of the Yandong colony.

However, there are still a few people who are not sure about the details and strategic planning.

After all, to send some citizens to someone else's "yard", you must at least fully understand the character of that family.

The establishment of a colonial area is not a trivial matter. If it is fully implemented, it will be a major project that consumes people and money.

In this regard, the National Assembly proposed that before formulating a detailed plan for colonial matters, it would like to conduct a round of communication with the speakers in the Yandong area to discuss some details.

When Xia Feng received the invitation letter sent to him by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Victoria, he already had an idea.

To put it bluntly, the empire's senior officials wanted him to return to Victoria as governor and stage a "son-in-law meeting his mother-in-law."

On the one hand, it is to discuss the details, and on the other hand, it is also to silence some people.

This invitation was exactly what he wanted.

Yandong's development has currently encountered a bottleneck. In order to break the bottleneck, he is planning to leave Yandong and go outside to find "fire".

This time it was good, not only was the name justified, but they even paid for the trip.

After understanding what the empire meant, Xia Feng quickly responded. He said there was no problem and he would set off for Victoria within a week.

Afterwards, Xia Feng immediately contacted Nancy in Victoria by phone.

On the phone, his voice was filled with subconscious joy.

"Nancy, I'm going back to China!"

Upon hearing the news, Nancy was even happier than he was.

"Wow, great, boss, you are finally coming back. When and how will you come back? By boat or plane. Where will I greet you? Oh, by the way, I will also prepare a welcoming banquet for you. Wait for me Just tell that lazy guy Tang Hua to prepare."

Hearing that Nancy was so excited, Xia Feng felt a little embarrassed.

"Hey, don't make it so grand. It's better to keep it low-key. After all, I have a special status now."

Nancy had already known about him becoming the governor of Yandong, and hearing what he said now, Nancy quickly understood.

"That's right. It's better to keep a low profile, hehe."

"Well, I just told you in advance that I will prepare to leave in about three days. I will contact you when the arrival time is confirmed."

"good!"

Before hanging up the phone, Nancy added.

"Boss, don't forget to bring me a gift!"

Theoretically, he has nothing to do with the current Black Feather Chamber of Commerce. After all, it was something he personally gave away.

But in the relationship between people, those bonds will not be worn away because of external things.

Even if it has nothing to do with money and power, the Black Feather Chamber of Commerce in Victoria has always been his most solid backing. If some people don't accept this statement, then at least the Black Feather Grill in Happy City is his home.

It's been a full year since he left Baigui Street, and it's time for him to go back and pay rent to Ergou's mother.

the next day.

Xia Feng called the director of Yandong Resources Department in the Governor's Office and asked him to summarize the information related to production and construction and then hand it over to him.

Then, he called Zhou Liang and Xi Gong Ling over.

Sitting at his desk, facing these two right-hand men in Yandong, Xia Feng spoke in his own tone.

"Lao Zhou, Aling, I'm going on a business trip in a few days, so I'll leave Yandong's affairs to you for the time being."

Faced with this sudden decision, Zhou Liang asked quickly.

"Sir, where are you going suddenly?"

Xia Feng said truthfully.

"It's like this. After being officially invited by Victoria, I'm going to visit Victoria to talk to the National Council about some issues regarding the establishment of the Yandong and Victoria colonies. It just so happens that I also have some personal matters to deal with."

Neither Zhou Liang nor Xi Gong Ling had much idea about this matter.

Xi Gong Ling nodded seriously.

"I understand, don't worry, Yandong is very stable now and nothing will happen to him."

As a district adjutant who came from the interior of Yan Kingdom, Zhou Liang suggested with some uncertainty.

"Sir, you are the governor of one party. Victoria officially invites you to negotiate. This is a state matter. It's not good for you to go alone."

"What's wrong?"

"I think it's disrespectful."

Xia Feng was stunned. To be honest, he really hadn't considered this.

According to the tradition of the Yan Kingdom, the so-called appearance is extremely important, and it is an important expression of identity. At the same time, it is also a sign of respect for the other party.

Under Zhou Liang's reminder, Xia Feng was also a little shaken after thinking for a moment.

"Then what should I do? Bring a group of accompanying officials with me? That would be too much trouble."

Zhou Liang pursed his lips, as if he had made up his mind.

"Sir, that's not necessary. I know that you don't care much about appearance, but as a governor, you still can't lose your status too much."

"Oh? What do you mean?"

"According to my opinion, Yandong will be temporarily handed over to Chief Ling. Please let me accompany you on your trip to Victoria."

Not wanting to dwell too much on this matter, Xia Feng made his decision immediately.

"Okay, it's settled then, Lao Zhou, you will follow me back to the south coast in two days."

Zhou Liang bowed and responded.

"yes."

This time, the meeting with the National Assembly was all about business matters. With Lao Zhou here, he could remind him of some things and help him remember them.

As for the subsequent "unfair things", he did not avoid Lao Zhou.

After all, Zhou Liang is Yandong's second-in-command, and he will know these things sooner or later.

Yandong's affairs were arranged. In the next two days, he only needed to prepare to leave for Victoria.

However, just before he left, he received unexpected news from his companions.

Froststar, she plans to return to Ursus.
