Lu Yishen was waiting outside the meeting room.
Seeing the door open and Lu Huanting walking out, he immediately went to greet him.
"Father, how did the meeting go?"
Lu Huanting glanced at him and lowered his voice, "Let's talk about it when we get back."
This is the Cabinet Meeting Room, where an emergency meeting involving the Cabinet and the military has just concluded.
"Yeah." Lu Yishen nodded and followed closely beside Lu Huanting.
He has not yet officially entered the cabinet, so he is not eligible to attend this meeting.
As the president, Huo Jingyan was also waiting in the presidential palace at this time. Because of China's special political structure, he had to avoid attending such meetings.
The only ones who can make decisions are the cabinet, which represents the president's opinions, and the military, which represents the military's opinions.
Of course, the results may not be implemented even if they come out, as they will not be allowed to pass as long as the parliament votes against it.
This is the separation of powers in China.
Seeing his father frowning, Lu Yishen guessed that things might not be going well.
He followed Lu Huanting, walking hurriedly with a serious look on his face.
At this moment, a deep and cold voice came from behind.
"Prime Minister Lu, please stay."
When Lu Huanting heard the call, he stopped, and Lu Yishen also turned back.
Behind them, a tall and strong man nearly two meters tall stood there.
The black military uniform wrapped around his bronze skin, and his strong muscle lines almost burst the uniform.
Although he is already a middle-aged man in his fifties, he exudes a powerful aura that cannot be ignored.
He is like a towering mountain and a solid rock. He is the most respected guardian of the Chinese people and the king of the military—Han Liguo.
"Marshal Han." Lu Huanting looked back. Even though he had met Han Liguo many times, he was still shocked every time he faced him.
It was almost the first time that Lu Yishen saw Han Liguo at such a close distance. He gritted his teeth and forced himself to meet Han Liguo's scrutinizing gaze, feeling the hairs on his back stand up.
"Yeah." Han Cangyan nodded and withdrew his cold gaze from Lu Yishen.
"Premier Lu, you'd better reconsider what happened just now. Our military has never been afraid of war, but if we can resolve the dispute without spending a single soldier, it is always better than going to war."
"I understand Marshal Han, but the cabinet still insists that we cannot give in easily. This is not for personal gain, but for the entire China. If we give in once we are threatened, China's diplomatic status will be very embarrassing in the international community in the future."
Han Liguo's cold gaze was fixed on Lu Huanting's face. The scar that ran from his brow through his eyelid and down to his cheekbone looked hideous and terrifying.
"There are only a handful of countries in this world that dare to threaten our country with war. However, since the cabinet insists on not giving in, our military is naturally not afraid. Don't worry, we are ready to fight at any time."
Han Liguo said this, but the corners of his lips slightly raised were playful.
If Lu Huanting is an old fox, then his Hanli Kingdom is a falcon soaring in the sky.
Lu Huanting is cunning, but he is not stupid. Everyone can say polite words, but he will never let his soldiers die for such a boring thing.
Thinking of the "rebellious son" at home, Han Liguo decided to have a good talk with him after returning.
If it doesn't work, send Han Mianmian to command this battle.
He just didn't believe that with Han Mianmian around, Han Cangyan would tolerate an attack from Europe.
"By the way, next month I will hold a banquet to formally introduce Xuan'er to all the major families in City B. When the time comes, remember to arrive early."
Han Liguo's tone was cold. He was clearly talking about something festive, but it sounded nonchalant. (To be continued)
