Indeed, as Ying Jianming and Cui Wenxiu thought, the issues Wu Feng was considering at this time were far more complex and far-reaching than those of Yi Yiren. The control of hearts and minds, the control of the layout of the imperial capital, and the selection of allies were all before him. It was an extremely real problem. Even Wu Feng himself didn't know what the meeting of kings could solve. He was still a little hesitant in his heart. Fortunately, Lin Yuexin was by his side who could let him talk about many worries and problems that he could not confide to others before. Doubtful, but even if he is close to Lin Yuexin and An Qier, he cannot tell everything. Men sometimes have to maintain the necessary dignity and prestige in front of their women. This is what Wu Feng has set for himself through gritted teeth. creed.
Liu Fujie, who was promoted to director of the Mainland Department of the Foreign Affairs Agency due to his excellent performance in the negotiations with the Bai people, has already set off for Jiujiang. He will once again secretly make a secret mission to Dayou on behalf of Wu Feng, and together with him Wang Jiexiu, who was promoted to the director of the Foreign Affairs Department of the Foreign Affairs Agency, was entrusted by Wu Feng to lead a large diplomatic mission to the Japanese. The purpose was very simple. In the name of breaking the alliance between Situ Tai and the Japanese, he conducted on-site inspections and understood the operational structure of the Japanese regime. , to prepare for the possibility of facing the Japanese on sea and land in the future. After its mission to Japan, this diplomatic delegation will also go to the Kingdom of Milan, the Principality of Andoko and the Grand Duchy of Mahad to attend the 20th anniversary celebration of the accession of Grand Duke Suleiman III of Mahad.
On Cheng Dayou's side, Wu Feng has always had some hope. He hopes that Cheng Dayou can see the current situation clearly and make the right choice. Necessary diplomatic efforts are considered necessary by Wu Feng, and Liu Fujie can use flexible means and Changing eloquence. Wu Feng believed that he could bring him a satisfactory answer.
As for the Japanese, Wu Feng never had any hope. With the greedy nature of the Japanese, he was afraid that the islands outside the empire would still be unable to satisfy their appetite. Treasure Island, Kamchatka Island, and the Ryukyu Islands are all the empire's inherent territories, and they are also the empire's interests in the Atlantic Ocean. Wufeng has never thought of trading these things. Although they are now occupied by the Japanese, they are still in Wufeng's possession. In his heart, sooner or later, these things will be taken back with interest. The Tanghe nation not only wants to become a great land nation, but also a powerful ocean nation. This is Wufeng's deepest dream, and to realize this dream. It is of course an unshirkable responsibility to safeguard the inherent maritime sovereignty of the Tanghe people. Of course, a superficial form of diplomacy is also necessary. At least he wanted to give the Japanese people a negotiable and transactional partner like Situ Tai. It was just a matter of price. Although Wu Feng had never thought that he would actually sit down and negotiate with the Japanese people. . The Japanese already have diplomatic channels and secret spokespersons in the imperial capital, which is enough to prove the Japanese's appetite and ambition. It was through this channel that Wu Feng obtained the invitation to send a diplomatic mission to the Japanese. The Japanese were also paying attention to Wu Feng. has become an indispensable power representative of the Tanghe Empire, and they also hope to understand the possibility of cooperation with this military strongman. Wu Feng set the diplomatic tone for Wang Jiexiu's trip to Japan by using false pretenses to find out the truth. In areas that cannot be reached by one's own strength, maintaining a relatively low-key posture is more in line with the current interests of Western Xinjiang.
As for the Kingdom of Milan, the Principality of Andako and the Grand Duchy of Mahad, they are also part of Western Xinjiang’s active diplomacy. From this level, Xijiang has bypassed the Empire’s General Administration of Foreign Affairs and begun to launch diplomatic offensives independently, and it seems that These countries have gradually accepted this reality, the empire has become divided, and each entity has the ability to independently express its own foreign policy. The people of Milan are naturally the focus. Wu Feng believes that the Milanese navy will still need to contain the Japanese in the Atlantic Ocean for at least a period of time, and the Western Xinjiang navy still relies on the Milanese in many ways, and although the Milanese's influence on Jiangnan has been weakened . But for Xijiang, it still cannot be underestimated.
The Principality of Andako and the Grand Principality of Mahad are still an indispensable part of Western Xinjiang's two-ocean diplomacy. Having good relations with the two countries will enable the two countries to stand on their own side in the future conflict with the Machi Khans, and the other two countries will It also has considerable strength at sea, which can not only contain the Japanese, but also cooperate with the gradually growing Western Xinjiang Navy to form a pincer attack on the Nanyang Alliance Navy. Of course, these are relatively far away, but the diplomatic layout has always been to From a long-term perspective, the earlier you plan, the easier it will be when needed in the future. Many things need to be prepared in advance to avoid being caught off guard. Of course, these things cannot be achieved in a short period of time. The diplomatic mission led by Wang Jiexiu has more than 20 people, including not only personnel from the diplomatic department, but also a large number of officials from the intelligence department and exchange personnel from the Government Affairs Department. They each have different responsibilities. In Wu Feng's heart, the Japanese's rise in such a short period of time must have its success. Learning the strengths of the other party and discovering the weaknesses of the other party are Wu Feng's basic requirements for the General Intelligence Bureau. As for the Japanese, Wu Feng I am not very satisfied with the intelligence collection of the General Intelligence Agency in this regard.
The faint moonlight fell on the courtyard. Wu Feng and the girl in snow clothes beside him happily strolled in the courtyard. The courtyards of the two mansions had been opened up, and the courtyard, which was not a big one, seemed much spacious, with climbing walls on both sides. The green vines on the wooden frame cover the sky, and it is cool and leisurely to walk on it. The stone path is smooth and clean, and the winding path leads to a quiet place. After passing through a small arched door, there is a small round flower circle in the middle.
Wu Feng seemed very relaxed at this time, and Lin Yuexin was a little surprised. In the past few days, his fiancé's mood seemed not to be very high. According to news from all sides in the imperial capital, the control of the Imperial Guard did not seem to have changed. , Whose is it or whose, those who are undecided are still undecided, and may not be able to see the real chapter until the last moment. The chaos of the situation once made Wu Feng very distressed. He entered the imperial capital without knowing anything and took such a big risk. If he could not obtain some substantial gains, not only would Su Tai and Wang Liao not be satisfied, but even the rear would be dissatisfied. Those left behind will feel that this trip was a mistake. But if they learned that it was this trip to the imperial capital that almost led them to become obsessed, and from misfortune to blessing, they were able to break through the bottleneck of Sanyang's true power with the help of several women, and finally reached great success, They may feel a little comfort. At least Wufeng believes that he already has the ability to make his own woman pregnant. Now it depends on which woman he works harder and bears fruit earlier.
But now Wu Feng seems to have put down his burdens and become very casual, as if he doesn't even care about the meeting of kings that will be held tomorrow, which makes Lin Yuexin very puzzled.
"Wufeng, you seem to have changed a bit. Why do you think this meeting of kings has no value anymore?" Lin Yuexin's beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly. She really wanted to know what her lover was thinking in his heart. .
"Yue Xin, since we will see the outcome tomorrow, what's the point of worrying now? What's going to come will always come, and we can't escape it. I've been mentally prepared to deal with Situ Sanzi's attack. It's a pity that this is a world where strength determines everything, and it is difficult to truly solve the problem with just words and words." With a chic smile, Wu Feng shrugged and said calmly: "Don't worry, I have my own arrangements. Even if the three Situ brothers join forces, if they want to It’s not that easy to get anything done in this Imperial City. I am determined to make this Imperial City, and no one can drive me out. As long as my people enter the city, then there will be people with my surname Li in this Imperial City. A share.”
Lin Yuexin was shocked by the wild and domineering words, as if she still hadn't understood why her lover had become somewhat unpredictable overnight. As if he had read through Lin Yuexin's thoughts, Wu Feng smiled slightly and said, "Don't look at me like that. I'm normal. I'm just feeling a little emotional."
"Wufeng plans to let the Tiger Wing Army stay in the Imperial City?" Ignoring Wu Feng's last few words, Lin Yuexin was more concerned about the meaning of Wu Feng's previous words.
"Do you think it is necessary for us to withdraw from the Imperial Capital? I can leave the Imperial Capital, but I must have the freedom to enter and exit the Imperial Capital at any time! Since Situ Tai has the right to enter and exit the Imperial Capital, I, Li Wufeng, will not be an exception!" Wufeng did not He answered Lin Yuexin's question directly, but his words expressed this point without any concealment.
"Have you made up your mind to retain this power at all costs?" Lin Yuexin's words were even more direct and sharp.
Turning his head to one side, Wufeng did not answer her question immediately, but after being silent for a long time, he said: "Yue Xin, have you ever thought about it, if I give up this power this time, I don't know how much I will have to give next time. Xijiang Erlang paid the price with his life, and I don’t want to see this scene! Xijiang Erlang’s blood can be shed in more useful places, but it should never be here!”
Lin Yuexin sighed quietly and said no more. At this time, she had no better reason to question. Military interests and political interests complement each other most of the time, but sometimes they can conflict. Although the military must obey politics most of the time, when political interests and military interests are not equal, it is necessary for the person in power to weigh the pros and cons. It is difficult to simply say that such a decision is right or wrong. But there seems to be a gap in Wu Feng's words that has not yet completely settled. Perhaps he is also waiting for tomorrow's meeting to bring him something unexpected.
