Arknights is too real, right?

What is the high degree of autonomy Xia Feng demands?

This includes administration, legislation, customs duties, Origin Stone reserves, entry and exit restrictions, and the supreme power of the military.

Of course, he said Yandong didn't need an army, but other than that, he wanted to be exactly like Longmen.

In other words, as long as the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which is personally managed by Prime Minister Yan Guo, agrees, from now on, Yandong will be a special zone in the true sense, and all levels of laws in the interior of Yan Kingdom will be re-enacted.

Faced with Xia Feng's request, Yan Guoxiang replied directly without any hesitation.

"Yes, as long as you continue to manage the Yandong region as the governor of Yandong and ensure that Dayan is not disturbed by foreign enemies."

Xia Feng sighed in embarrassment.

"Hey, it seems I have to continue doing this job that is not done by humans. It's really troublesome."

Prime Minister Yan's voice came out again.

"Xia Feng, but I have a request."

"Oh? Tell me."

"From now on, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will no longer interfere with your governance and development of Yandong, but the boundary between Yandong and the Victoria Colonial Zone can never be opened."

Xia Feng curled his lips playfully.

"What if I accidentally open it?"

At this moment, Prime Minister Yan's voice became very serious.

"If you violate this request, I will immediately remove you as the governor of Yandong. My army, Dayan, will take back the rule of Yandong at all costs."

After a few seconds of silence, Xia Feng laughed.

"Hahaha, Prime Minister Yan, why are you taking it seriously? I'm just kidding. I know the importance of the Yandong region to me, so don't worry. As long as I'm here, foreign enemies will never take a step forward."

Although he felt like he was tricked by Xia Feng, Yan Guojiang could still accept the result.

In any case, Yandong is safe in Xia Feng's hands for the time being.

Through this incident, he also deeply realized that Xia Feng is a double-edged sword. With Yan Guo's current situation, he still needs his sharp side to be outgoing.

After getting the perfect result, Xia Feng stood up from his seat, walked to the front unsteadily, and picked up the Governor's Token that he had just thrown away without blushing or heartbeat.

Putting it back in his pocket, he looked sideways at Lin Hong next to him.

"Governor Lin, I'm sorry. Originally, I really wanted to resign, but Prime Minister Yan tried to persuade me to stay, but there was nothing I could do. He gave me too much."

Lin Hongpi replied with a smile.

"Governor Xia, there seems to be some misunderstanding between you and me. I can explain this to you in private."

Xia Feng waved his hand coolly.

"No need to explain. I'm too lazy to listen. I'm a very generous person. I'm not as petty as someone else. Let him let go of the past."

Then, he turned his attention to Zhou Qing.

"Are you right, Governor Zhou? Oh, by the way, this seems to be the first meeting between Governor Zhou and I. I'm glad to meet you."

Zhou Qing pretended to be calm and nodded in return.

"Governor Xia is young and promising. He is indeed as wise and courageous as the rumors say. It's a pleasure to meet him."

"Heh, it's okay."

At this point, this "episode" seems to have passed, but the smell of blood lingering in the room.

In order to express his attitude, Prime Minister Yan said to Xia Feng again.

"Governor Xia, regarding your robbery and murder in Fengyang City, I will definitely find out the person behind it and give you a satisfactory explanation."

Xia Feng understood that what Yan Guoxiang meant was that this matter had nothing to do with the Ministry of Internal Affairs. As for who was behind the scenes, he did not expect Yanguo's Supervision Department to launch an investigation.

After all, some people may not be able to check.

"Prime Minister Yan, forget it. You don't have to worry about what you need to explain or not. I will handle this matter myself."

Hearing the words "deal with it yourself", Lin Hong next to him couldn't sit still again.

He looked at Xia Feng again and explained aloud.

"Governor Xia, this matter can be investigated clearly, and the origin of the murderer can also be traced to the source. I hope you will never speculate secretly."

Xia Feng looked surprised.

"Governor Lin, why have you been so sensitive since just now? I didn't say you wanted to kill me. How could I still stab you to death in front of Prime Minister Yan?"

"this"

"Don't worry. I am the most fair and evidence-based person. After all, I am the governor who governs a country."

Lin Hong, who used to glare at him, was undoubtedly timid now.

But Xia Feng didn't feel any pleasure from this, and even the doubts in his heart deepened, because Lin Hong was very timid.

Either Lin Hong is really scared.

Or, the mastermind behind the assassination was really not Lin Hong.

After settling the matter temporarily, Yan Guoxiang put on an extremely serious expression again.

"Okay, Governors, let's discuss the business."

Afterwards, under the auspices of Yan Guoxiang, the reason why the five governors gathered in the imperial capital really began.

The main reason for this call is that the recent border conflict with Ursus has become increasingly serious.

Because the Ursus Joint Suppression Team has recently intensified its efforts to kill infected people, a large number of infected people have begun to flow towards the border. In this regard, Yan Guo must block these infected people from outside the country.

There are also infected people from the country of Yan, and frictions can easily arise if they come and go.

Of course, this is just an inducement to border tensions. As the world's largest military power, the iron-blooded Ursus are very willing to show their powerful force to neighboring countries.

In the middle hall, Xia Feng did not say a word about the serious discussions between Prime Minister Yan and several governors.

He is the governor of the Yan Kingdom, but he has not yet had the consciousness to sacrifice his life for the Yan Kingdom. Unless Ursus officially declares a war with the Yan Kingdom, this matter has nothing to do with him.

In other words, the greater the external pressure on the interior of Yan country, the more favorable it will be for the development of Yandong.

Because after he successfully obtains a high degree of autonomy, Yandong will usher in a period of rapid transformation and strong development.

In his plan, one year only takes one year. When the year 1096 comes, Yandong will definitely gain the right to speak that will make half the world pay attention and listen.

Of course, he didn't care about Ursus at all. He even had some speculations of his own.

The reason why Ursus's campaign to eradicate the infected began to intensify is probably because Frost Star returned.

In this case, the living conditions of the infected will be further compressed, and oppression and hatred will accumulate at the fastest speed.

Is this a coincidence?

His intuition told him that it wasn't.

His existence seems to have changed part of the development trajectory of history, but some things that are destined to happen will be re-derived in another trajectory.

For example, he could not prevent the arrival of 1096 in the Terra Calendar no matter what.

For example, he cannot change the natural disaster that will befall Chernobog in the future.

He didn't know whether the flag symbolizing extreme resistance would still be raised in Ursus.

He also didn't know whether the world he had interfered with still needed to be integrated.
