Staring fiercely at the fearless girl in green clothes, the old man squeezed out a few words like ice shavings from his teeth for a long time: "Our Lin family has worked hard and spent countless efforts, and exchanged the lives and blood of countless sons and daughters for the land. Are you giving up for nothing just with a few words? And you gave it to Lang Yongquan for nothing?!"
The tone was harsher than ever before, and although Lin Yuexin had been prepared for it, she still couldn't help but tremble.
"Dad, this is just my personal opinion. As for whether you adopt it or not, the decision is up to you. But my daughter wants to remind you that you should not make a decision on the fly, for fear that the Lin family will suffer greater harm." Lin Yue. Xin said calmly.
The old man turned his head suddenly, looked directly out of the window again, and said after a long time: "I, Lin Guoxiong, will never give up Hanzhong even if I am shattered to pieces! Even if Lujiang is lost for a while, I will do my best to take him back!"
Although she couldn't see her father's expression, the girl in green clothes could imagine the resolute look on her father's face. She knew her father's character too well, and it was absolutely impossible for her to withdraw from the things she got. Although she did not mention Northern Ronesia in her words, the girl in green clothes knew that her father had not considered it at all. In her father's mind , although Northern Ronesia is currently facing pressure from the Machi Khans, it is still stable. How can it be possible to give up voluntarily? !
But Lin Yuexin knew that Northern Romania was the Lin family's biggest weakness and the main reason why the Lin family was in trouble.
Ever since the Lin family acquired Northern Ronnesia, due to the improper policies of those in power, xenophobic sentiment among local forces in Northern Ronnesia has continued to rise. The Lin family's control here has been unable to deepen, and they were forced to use force to suppress local forces, resulting in The serious antagonism between the two sides not only caused instability in Northern Ronesia, but also held back the strength of more than two elite divisions of the Lin family. Then the Machikhans climbed over the natural chasm of Gaoligong Mountain and captured Canten City in a surprise attack. It was like inserting a dagger in the waist and abdomen, making the Lin family's rule in Northern Ronesia even more dangerous. The Machikhans' spies were here. The activities in this area are extremely rampant, and anti-Lin rebellions are constantly being set off. As a result, the Lin family has to increase its troops in Northern Ronesia. So far, three divisions of troops have been stationed in Northern Ronesia. However, the Lin family has barely been able to escape from this area in recent years. To obtain any benefits, the financial revenue is not even enough to cover the expenses of the garrison. This has become a huge burden for the Lin family. However, his father regards it as a treasure and believes that this is the first step for the Lin family. It is of great significance, and many in the family People think so too.
This view was simply unacceptable to Lin Yuexin. It was a place of no value, and it also consumed a lot of manpower and material resources from the family. So what if such a place was occupied? What's more, the Lin family is not very powerful now, so this phenomenon seems even more ridiculous. Her opinion alone could not change everyone's opinions, so she could only do nothing.
The room finally became quiet, and there was a faint sound of footsteps leaving. Lin Guoxiong knew that his daughter could never reach a consensus with him. He also knew that the current situation on his side was already quite serious. His daughter's words were not alarmist, but she wanted him to withdraw from Beiluo. Nicaea and Hanzhong, it would be better to kill him! Now he could only hope that Yunfei could hold Lujiang and that the reinforcements he sent could catch up, but deep down he knew that this hope was slim, but as long as there was a glimmer of hope, he was not willing to give up.
The autumn weather in Liberty City in September is crisp, with clear blue skies and cloudless weather. The cool and suitable climate makes tourists from all over the city feel comfortable. This is the busiest tourist season in Liberty City, with dignitaries, wealthy businessmen and tourists from all over the world. People come here to enjoy their vacation and participate in the most lively harvest carnival here to worship the harvest god. As for local and nearby residents, they regard this festival as a rare moment of relaxation and started preparing for it as early as half a month ago.
Two simple and solemn carriages galloped out of the post house and slid lightly into the neat and smooth streets paved with stone slabs. The carriages quickly drove out of the majestic and dignified city gate and ran straight out of the city.
The clear lake is surrounded by green pines and cypresses, shaded by ancient trees, and the winding path extends into the distance. The two carriages ran until they stopped in front of the wooden house. Servants had already been waiting to greet them. When they got out of the carriage, the strong man tidied himself up. Yi Guan, looking around, couldn't help but admire: "The beauty of Liberty City is unparalleled in the world, and it is indeed well-deserved. Only by living in seclusion among such mountains and rivers can you understand the true meaning of happiness in the world."
"If the general is interested, the door here is always open for you. Big Pine Forest City is not far from here. As long as the general is interested, we will be waiting." A slightly sharp voice came from behind, and the strong man turned around. A smile appeared on his face, "Secretary, I haven't seen you for a long time. It seems that your body is getting healthier. Well, that's right. Such beautiful scenery can naturally make people broaden their minds and make them feel free to leave the world. Their hearts are relaxed and their bodies are naturally healthy. No wonder, no wonder.”
"General Kloof, you are joking. How can I, who was born to work hard, have such a leisurely mind?" The political secretary's skinny body looked very thin, but his dress was meticulous. He came forward to greet the mature man. The man hugged him affectionately and motioned for the other party to enter the room: "The Grand Duke is already waiting for you, please come this way."
The wooden house looks quite ordinary on the outside, but it is extremely luxurious inside. The soft cashmere carpet covers the entire living room, the fragrance of pine wood exudes from the wooden walls, and a huge oil painting "The Assumption of the Virgin". You can see the handwriting of Raphael, the famous revivalist painter of the Western Continent. The furniture and furnishings in the house are all made of logs. The classical lady vase in the corner is an antiquity from the Tang Dynasty in the Eastern Continent. Hot mist rises from the silver cup on the coffee table, and the coffee tastes... A strong fragrance wafts in the air.
"General Kloof, I haven't seen you for a long time. I'm afraid it's been some time since we last saw each other, right? Didn't you promise that I would come here as a guest in half a year? Why did you break the promise?" The beautiful blonde woman with a resentful face was dressed in tight purple velvet. The dress outlines the proud body in a wonderful way, especially the half-naked chest, which is as white as mutton-fat jade. The trembling breasts hold up the bra high, and the cleavage is looming. The heart of the middle-aged man was shaken for a while.
He quickly turned his eyes to one side, but the fleshy mound like a jade rabbit always appeared in his heart. The strong man bit the tip of his tongue to wake himself up from his addiction, and said in a harmonious voice: "The Grand Duke's words are serious, Kruff dare not Compared with the Grand Duke, military affairs are very busy, but I can’t help myself. This time I am called by the Grand Duke, so I dare not not come.”
"Hey, according to the general's wishes, if I don't treat this as an official business, I'm afraid the general will never step into my free autonomous territory?" Looking sideways at the other party, the Grand Duke smiled coquettishly, and her chest suddenly surged. , breasts undulating, "Am I so scary? I don't see anything wrong with General Frederick coming to my place. Why is General Kloof afraid of the dangerous journey?"
He tilted his head in embarrassment. Kruff sat down under the other party's gesture and felt a little calmer. He had never been afraid even when facing thousands of troops, but facing this woman, he was indeed a little flustered. a feeling of.
Fortunately, the other party did not dwell too much on this issue, but casually chatted about the situation in Luzon, which made the middle-aged man feel much more relaxed. However, he also knew that there must be something important for the other party to invite him to meet here, otherwise Frederick would not arrange for him to make a special trip here during his busy military affairs. However, he did not want to bring up this topic first. When the time was right, the other party would Naturally, the famous Duchess Catherine is more than just a vase.
"Kruf, I heard that General Frederick has been busy reorganizing his armaments and expanding his army these days, and the prices of strategic materials such as weapons and armor in our Free City and Mid-Continent have also soared. , are you preparing for such a large-scale military expansion and war, are you preparing for some big military action?" With a faint smile, the Grand Duchess suddenly asked in a calm voice.
"Ah, uh," he was caught off guard, and Kruff almost agreed smoothly. Fortunately, he was quick to respond, and immediately covered it up with a haha, and counterattacked cleverly: "The Grand Duke is overly worried. Even if Luzon expands its military and prepares for war, it is normal. Regarding the matter, the Pasha people occupied a large area of fertile land in Gyasi in the south of us, and the Tanghe people took advantage of the situation and robbed northern Luzon. Could it be that we in Luzon can only watch the invaders do whatever they want and remain indifferent? But don’t worry, Grand Duke, we Luzon people will never think any other way about Liberty City.”
"Hmph, I'm not worried about what other thoughts you have about me in Free City. If General Kruff has any bad intentions towards me, I would welcome him. I'm afraid some people have a thief's heart but don't have the guts." You resented it. The sentence made the middle-aged man sweat profusely, his face turned red and white, and he didn't know how to answer.
"But I want to remind your country that our Free City and Komini are already brothers tied to the same chariot with your country. The Pasha people are now the dominant side, and we are a thorn in their side. Sooner or later, this battle will happen Come, I hope your country will be more prudent in its strategies and not act rashly. The situation in the mainland will affect the whole body. If your country makes a mistake, it will also affect our allies." The Grand Duke restrained herself. Seeing the charming and charming expression just now, he said seriously.
The middle-aged man felt a shiver in his heart, knowing that there was something in the other person's words, but he also wanted to test how much the other party understood, so he deliberately pretended to be confused and said: "Catherine, you seem to have something in your words. I don't quite understand. You Can you make it clearer?"
