Pan couldn't bear it and said: "Yin, you get out first!"

Yin did not dare to disobey his brother's order, so he had to salute Luke and then left the room.

After the door closed, Pan said to Luke: "As Yin said, the Moonlight Court's appeal will be left to the Shuojin Elders' Council for decision-making. But I remind you not to have too much hope, and don't anger Shuojin Civilization.

,The strong will not bow to the weak.”

Luke said indifferently: "Then let's wait for the reply from the Council of Elders. Before that, I will not reveal any information about the Moonlight Palace and World Tree to Shuojin Civilization."

After listening to Luke's words, Pan found that his prediction was too accurate. This seemingly simple task hit a wall in the first step.

At the same time, Ban also realized that his real request for coming here might not go smoothly.

But...you have to give it a try.

Pan said: "When I go back, I will report it to the Council of Elders immediately. I have another thing to do this time... There is news that Raging Wave City is forming a fleet and will soon launch an attack on Leo's navy.

"

"How is this possible!" Luke opened his eyes and told lies: "The Golden Shield Empire and the Leo Republic are friendly neighbors, and both parties are important trading partners for each other. How could we take the initiative to attack the Leo Navy?

Moreover, the empire not only had to wipe out the rebels in the Tedega Hills, but also faced the invasion of the Art County Alliance. It really did not have the energy to provoke another enemy.

Prince Pan, where did you get such ridiculous information?"

Pan didn't expect that Yuexing wouldn't admit it.

Look at the coast of Rio, which is almost occupied by pirates. Rio's navy has made several sorties to encircle and suppress pirates, but either encountered an ambush on Brilliant Island or was "accidentally injured" by the anti-smuggling fleet patrolling the Cape District.

The generation difference between the battleships makes the Type-0 aircraft-class battleship a floating war fortress on the sea, an invincible existence.

Currently, the main force of the Raging Waves City Navy and Cape District's anti-smuggling fleet are gathered together, and large fleet operations are practiced every day. The types of exercises include sea encounters and bombardment of coasts with complete defense systems.

The imaginary target of the exercise is the Leo Navy.

Now everyone knows that the Raging Waves City fleet is about to launch a sea attack on Leo. As the governor of Raging Waves City, how dare you deny it!

"Governor of the Meteor Star... Even if you don't admit it, I know what you want to do. Taking advantage of Leo's pseudo-parliament being restrained by the Restoration Army of the Watcher, the Raging Waves City Navy defeated Leo's maritime power in one fell swoop, and has since then dominated this sea area.

Rio became a landlocked country.

When I successfully regain my country, Leo's ships will have to get your permission before they go out to sea.

I warn you, you are seriously draining the trust relationship established between us, and you are creating a powerful enemy for yourself."

"Pan, is the enemy you are talking about the future Leo Kingdom, or the current Shuojin Civilization?" Luke leaned on the sofa with his legs crossed and said with a sneer: "If it is the Leo Kingdom, it is mine to weaken a potential opponent.

Work; if it is Shuojin Civilization, you are just an elder candidate and have not yet sat in a position that can influence the decision-making of Shuojin Civilization.

What qualifications do you have to threaten me?"

"Meteor!" Pan stood up angrily, but he quickly calmed down and sat down again: "I apologize to you for the offense I caused with my words. But I am the future king of the Leo Kingdom. If my allies attack Leo

, I cannot explain it to my subjects.

I can sign a secret treaty with you. After I take back the country, I will disband part of the Leo Navy and strictly limit the size of the Leo Navy in the future.

I guarantee that the Leo Kingdom will not pose any threat to the Golden Shield Empire."

Luke said: "I deeply hate unequal treaties, so I will not sign a unilaterally beneficial treaty. This attack only targets Leo's maritime force. Even if the Marine Corps has a landing operation, it will

Retreat immediately.

Not an inch of Leo's land will be occupied.

After that, I will do everything possible to limit the size of Leo's navy. If you can successfully restore the country, you can also try your best to break free from the shackles I gave you. Of course...if you fail to restore the country, you are not qualified to fight with me.

Let’s fight.”

Luke made his attitude clear, which was to remove Leo's maritime power and potential.

Without the treaty, Leo would not be protected by the treaty, and Raging Wave City could do whatever it wanted.

Pan felt that the anger in his chest was like a pent-up volcano, which wanted to explode but could not vent here. He had already made a desperate effort to restore the country, putting all his family wealth and loyal supporters on the Watchman Restoration Army.

Now that the watchers have established a firm foothold in Leo, there is an endless stream of people who have heard of the news and come to invest. The day of restoring the kingdom seems to be just around the corner. At this time, the support of Raging Wave City must not be missing, otherwise once it fails, the territory of Leo will never be

There are no more people who belong to the Kingdom.

But Meteor chose to attack Leo at this moment.

Although Leo's navy belongs to the puppet parliament, the Raging Waves City fleet is a foreign army after all, and it is an invasion of Leo!

"Is there really no room for negotiation? I can give you money, or something else."

Pan's attitude was very humble.

Luke was unmoved: "If the army of Raging Wave City wants to move north along the coast, Leo's navy will never be allowed to exist.

This is related to the survival of the empire and the survival of Raging Wave City, so I have no choice but to make you feel aggrieved.

After this war is over, Raging Wave City will increase its support to the Watchers. Strategic-level weapons, including war fortresses, will be allowed to be purchased by the Watchers."

Luke didn't overly stimulate Pan, and a slap still required a sweet date.

In the past, in order to take care of the diplomatic relations between the Republic of Leo and the Empire, Raging Wave City did not provide some heavy weapons to the watchers. This time when we attacked the Leo Navy, there was no need to care about the feelings of the Republic of Leo. Things like War Fortress

Weapons can not only greatly enhance the offensive capabilities of the Watchmen's Nationalist Army, but also allow the Haijiao District Machinery Factory to make money, so why not do it.

Through Luke's words, Pan figured out the next stage of the Golden Shield Empire's strategy. If the Golden Shield Empire goes north by sea and lands on the northern coast to threaten the Yate County Alliance from the flanks, it must suppress the Yate County Alliance at sea.

navy.

The hidden danger of Leo's navy must not be left at this time.

It seems that whether it is for the short-term strategy or the long-term strategy, Raging Wave City must fight against the Leo Navy.

Ban can only accept this fact.

Fortunately... Raging Wave City has opened up more weapons to the Watchers, which can be considered a gain and a loss.

Let’s wait until we take back the country first. Only then can we discuss grudges.

"If there is nothing else, I will go back." Pan tried his best to remain calm. He stood up and said: "There is one more thing to inform you... In view of the outbreak of war between the Golden Shield Empire and the Art County Alliance, the World Bank has decided to temporarily suspend cooperation with the two countries.

country’s cooperation plan.

Previous cooperation projects will not be affected, but Raging City will not be able to obtain new loans and investments from the World Bank until the end of the war."

The World Bank does not intervene in political disputes, and there is no model space for the war between the Golden Shield Empire and the Art County Alliance. Therefore, Luke expected that Raging Wave City would lose the World Bank as an investment source.

Fortunately, Luke, who anticipated that the war would break out, lent all the money he could borrow from the World Bank before the war broke out, and signed all investment projects as quickly as possible. Therefore, the World Bank's decision had a huge impact on Raging Waves City.

The impact is not that big. Luke has a lot of money in his hand that can be spent on urban development and army formation.

"The war period is enough for us to implement the previously negotiated cooperation and make profits. After the war is over, there will be another round of cooperation between Raging City and the World Bank.

I wish you an early accession to the throne!"

Luke stood up and shook hands with Pan as he said goodbye, and then he felt that Pan's hand was very strong, as if he was about to break his bones.

But this guy had a smile on his face.

Luke thought to himself, if I had been treated like this by you before, I would definitely have been embarrassed, but now... your governor is no longer the detective he used to be.

Luke increased the grip in his hands. The lava stone demon blood gave him extraordinary strength. His hands were like fine steel, holding Pan's hand and squeezing it inward. At first, Pan could still keep smiling and work harder to deal with it, but gradually he

His smile changed, and the pain appeared on his face.

Pan found that he had misjudged the strength of the meteor... He didn't seem to be so strong before?

In order to show his individual strength and make Yuexing worry about it in the future, Pan An secretly used the power of his Shining Gold Man. Golden light emerged from the seam of his hands, and the enhanced strength allowed him to fight back.

Luke also exerted his strength again.

The red light of the flame emerged from between his fingers, and the dragon pattern on the back of his hand shone even brighter.

Taotie's strength gave Luke an overwhelming advantage over Pan in an instant. The sudden severe pain made Pan subconsciously withdraw his hand, and then he tried his best to restrain his expression and saluted Luke: "Goodbye, Lord Governor!"

Luke did not put himself in trouble, he released his strength and broke free.

"Goodbye, Director Ban."

Pan left the reception room and raised his trembling right hand. There were red palm prints on it and a heartbreaking pain inside.

Yin, who was sitting on the bench in the corridor outside waiting, stepped forward when he saw Ban De and asked with concern: "What did you talk about with Governor Meteor? Why are you so angry? I have never felt such anger from you!"

what happened to your hand?"

"Nothing?" Pan put his hands in his pockets, secretly used healing magic to relieve the damage to the bones, and then said to Yin: "It's all because of the World Tree. The stubbornness of the Meteorite Governor will arouse the anger of the Elder Council, and for him and the Moonlight King

The court brought disaster.

You stay here and talk to him, try to persuade him not to hold the Shuojin people responsible for the war thousands of years ago, and he should listen to you."

"Okay... but Yue Xing is a very independent person. I'm afraid I won't be able to convince him."

Pan said: "The Elders House will definitely provide assistance to the Moonlight Royal Court, but it cannot be compensation. There were too many living beings affected by ancient wars thousands of years ago. The Elders House will never set a precedent for compensation for the Moonlight Royal Court. Higher civilizations have higher

the dignity of civilization.

Do your best to enlighten him.

I am leaving Raging Wave City and heading to the headquarters to report to the Presbyterian Council what is going on here. You will be responsible for negotiating with Meteorite about the cooperation between the World Bank and Raging Wave City."

"I understand, leave this to me."

"Um……"

After Pan walked away, Yin knocked on the door of the reception room, then opened the door and walked in.

Luke was standing at the window looking out at the square in front of the Government Affairs Office building. Many civil servants taking a lunch break were walking in the square, or buying a cup of coffee from a small vendor and enjoying it slowly.

Yin walked to Luke's side and looked at the scene in the square together.

The emotional training of the Shuojin people made Yin's temperament like an elegant orchid. She has a gentle temperament, is considerate, and has no fighting spirit. Her intuition told her that the meteor needed to be quiet, so she stood aside silently.

"Did Pan ask you to come to me?" After a while, Luke asked the voice.

He did not turn his head, his eyes were still looking at the square.

"Yes... Pan said that he had a big quarrel with you because of the World Tree, so he asked me to persuade you. Although I support your point of view, the ancestors of the Shuojin people did commit crimes against the World Tree, but what Pan said

It makes sense...

The elders of the Shuojin people are full of condescending old guys, and they will regard the Moonlight Royal Court's pursuit of accountability as an offense to Shuojin civilization.

If they don't mention the guilt, they will compensate the Moonlight Royal Court."

Luke asked: "If I insist on holding Shuojin accountable, will you support me?"

Yin thought for a moment: "Of course I will support you. But..."

Luke asked again: "If the Shuojin Elders are angry with me and even list me as an enemy, will you still stand on my side?"

Yin thought for a while: "You are not wrong! What was wrong was the ancient war that should not have happened. Of course I will stand on your side. Panhui and I will argue with the Elders. If you make a mistake, you must take responsibility.

.”

Luke couldn't help but smile, and turned to look at Yin.

"Just saying this to you...if something happens to you in the future, no matter what you face, I will protect you."

When Yin heard Luke making such a promise to herself, her face couldn't help but turn red. She avoided Luke's gaze and tried her best not to smile.

"Why do you say such things? You may be in trouble now, and I am helping you. I am a Shuojin person and I don't need your protection."

Only then did Luke realize that his promise just now had been misunderstood.

They all made Pan Pan angry.

In order to trick him, he actually pushed Yin over.

Luke didn't know how to explain it to Yin. He couldn't say that your brother wanted to harm you.

Without evidence there is no convincing.

Luke had no choice but to say: "You are a Shinojin, so no one dares to harm you? Angels, dragons, demons, and shadow tribes are not afraid of you Shinojins. The world will be very chaotic in the future, so you must protect yourself."

Luke's forced explanation seemed to have the opposite effect, Yin's face turned redder, she lowered her head and couldn't help but smile.

"Thank you. I will protect myself, and you must protect yourself too. You said before... that when you can disclose your identity, you will tell me your real name as soon as possible.

Is now the time?"

Luke was a little dizzy at the moment.

"My true identity is still a secret now and needs to remain secret for some reasons. I'm sorry, I can't tell you my real name for the time being.

When it can be made public, I promise to tell you as soon as possible."
