Siheyuan: Happy life of the son-in-law of a founding general

A few days later, Dovsky and Wang Zhian finally signed an agreement to build a highland highway in the border area between the two countries.

Dovsky and Wang Zhian stood on the newly demarcated border line, the agreement in their hands like a heavy cornerstone, heralding the two countries' first handshake in infrastructure construction.

"This is not just a road, it is a bridge connecting two great countries." Wang Zhian's voice echoed in the morning breeze. His eyes flashed with unprecedented determination, "Let us prove with our actions that even if there are mountains and rivers between us, common wishes and efforts can make the road connected."

Dovsky nodded in response, his tone full of joy and yearning: "Yes, Mr. Wang Zhian. In the days to come, every shovel of soil and every stone will be a testimony of our friendship. Let us start this journey together and make this plateau highway a new channel to promote exchanges and deepen understanding."

If it goes deeper, Dovsky dare not say anything more. He is not qualified. Wang Zhian may be qualified. Or he may not be qualified.

Immediately, workers from both countries kicked off the work in their respective areas.

Of course, they built their own roads.

Afterwards, in the Duoyang area of ​​Daxia, a more vigorous road construction campaign began.

In Daxia, the construction has been going on for a while and there was successful experience before, so the progress is also very fast.

In comparison, Xiongxiong's road-building speed is obviously not as good as Daxia's. Seeing Daxia's ability to build roads, he was envious and jealous.

But no matter what, Xiongxiong will definitely build the plateau highway and connect the two countries. As for whether this road will benefit the economies of Daxia and Xiongxiong, it is hard to say.

Now Xiongxiong hopes to improve the mobility of his own defense forces by building roads.

At this time, Wang Zhian had a second round of negotiations with Dovsky.

This time, Wang Zhian demanded the return of the territory that Xiong Xiong had occupied from Daxia.

Dovsky was stunned. He didn't expect Wang Zhian to continue to make this request. He had seen Wang Zhian talking about building a road together before, and thought that Wang Zhian saw his firm attitude and didn't mention it again.

As a result, Wang Zhian dared to make this request. Dovsky was immediately in a state of headache. Naturally, he continued to refuse.

Therefore, after the negotiations, Wang Zhian directly ordered the Duoyang border guards to use cars to pull Daxia’s new mountain cannon to the highest point of the plateau.

At this time, Daxia's plateau highway had been repaired. But Xiongxiong had not yet repaired it. The mobility of these mountain artillery was very different.

Soon, Daxia filled the top of the plateau with mountain artillery, threatening the fierce border troops.

The fierce border troops were all numb and immediately went on high alert.

Xiongxiong's diplomatic department protested to Daxia. Daxia said that they were conducting an exercise. But Xiongxiong didn't believe it. So he asked Dovsky to protest directly to Wang Zhian.

Now, Dovsky is sitting at the negotiating table with a frown on his face, waiting for Wang Zhian to arrive.

When he saw Wang Zhian coming in, there was a hint of displeasure in his eyes.

Spread out in front of him was an urgent report from the border, which described in detail the deployment of new mountain artillery by the Daxia army on the top of the plateau.

He tapped the table with his fingers, looking very angry, "Mr. Wang, you Daxia,...what on earth do you mean by this?

Dovsky tried to keep his voice calm, but it was only for basic diplomatic demeanor, but it was difficult to suppress it. "We are discussing in a friendly manner how to jointly promote economic development. Why would Daxia make such a provocative military deployment at a time like this?"

Wang Zhian smiled and explained, "Mr. Dovsky, you misunderstood. Daxia has always adhered to the principle of peaceful coexistence. This military exercise is purely routine and aims to enhance our military's ability to respond to emergencies. It is not aimed at any specific country."

However, Dovsky was no fool and naturally knew the target of Daxia's military exercise.

He immediately said, "Mr. Wang, do you think I'm a three-year-old child?"

Wang Zhian also paused and said very seriously, "However, as things have developed to this point, if your country had not been reluctant to give a positive response on certain core issues, perhaps today's situation could have been avoided."

The atmosphere in the meeting room was solemn. No one expected Wang Zhian to be so sharp.

Dovsky's expression suddenly became serious, "Mr. Wang, are you threatening us Xiongxiong?"

Wang Zhian glanced at Dovsky and said in a serious tone: "Daxia has an unshakable determination for territorial integrity. We welcome the construction of the highway and regard it as a bridge for cooperation between the two sides; but at the same time, the problems left over from history must be faced and resolved. This is the basis for true mutual trust and cooperation."

"You?!" Dovsky took a deep breath and tried to adjust his emotions. He knew that what was needed now was not only diplomatic rhetoric, but also wisdom, courage, and toughness.

"I understand Daxia's position and respect your point of view. However, territorial disputes involve complex internal procedures and considerations, so we can only talk about it slowly. Your current behavior is obviously not acceptable."

Wang Zhian responded sharply, saying, "This is our bottom line. There is no compromise."

Dovsky also said, "Mr. Wang, is this your Daxia's final attitude?"

"of course."

"Good, good, good."

The heavy atmosphere at the referee's table seemed to freeze the air, and sparks flew as Dovsky and Wang Zhian stared at each other.

Then, the two of them stood up at the same time, turned around and left the negotiation room without saying another word.

Outside the door, the entourages of the two countries looked at each other, sensing that a storm was coming.

Both parties immediately informed their superiors of the breakdown of negotiations.

Afterwards, the exercise troops of the Duoyang Military Region immediately bombarded the Xiongxiong border troops. A fierce battle suddenly broke out between the two sides.

In the border area of ​​Duoyang, the military exercise codenamed "Family Sacrifice" quickly turned into an actual combat state. The mountain artillery that Duoyang had already deployed was lined up, with the muzzles pointing to the east, waiting for orders.

"Open fire!" With the commander's order, deafening artillery fire echoed through the valleys on the border of Daxia, and one cannonball after another cut through the sky and headed straight for the target.

The blazing outpost was instantly engulfed in flames and smoke. At the same time, Daxia's new fighter jets were also dispatched simultaneously.

The two armies exchanged fire, the sky was streaked with tracer bullets, and the earth trembled.

Basically, it was the troops of Daxia who were suppressing the troops of Xiongxiong. As Daxia implemented effective fire suppression, for a while, the artillery fire on the Xiongxiong position was like thunder.

The fierce border troops were quickly defeated and many were captured.

Daxia achieved a decisive victory in less than an hour.

When Defense Minister Oleg learned of the border troops' defeat, he immediately ordered the border guards to counterattack.

The Xiongxiong commander-in-chief Xiao Fu also demanded that the entire country prepare for war immediately and launch a resolute, thorough and crazy counterattack against Daxia.

The international community was also stunned. How come Daxia and Xiongxiong were just talking peacefully, but suddenly they started fighting?
