The diplomatic meeting on the border issue, which was supposed to last at least an hour, ended quickly after more than ten minutes.

The strong decision to shorten the border made all the alliance diplomats stare blankly, and their brains were unable to react at all.

After the video recording was completed, the photographer gave Shi Xing an OK gesture. Shi Xing leaned over and exchanged a few words with Chi Yao face to face. In a moment, Chi Yao also stood up. The Empire unilaterally announced the end of the meeting and all officials left.

The chief diplomat of the alliance was unwilling to accept it, "Wait, is the Empire leaving just like that?"

Chi Yao and Shi Xing paused. Chi Yao: "What does the alliance have to say?"

After asking, he did not wait for the chief diplomat to answer, pointing out the root of the problem, "The key is, you must not report this matter to the alliance. Even if we sit down, can you... make a decision?"

The relaxed tone of his voice faintly revealed the contempt of the superior.

The chief diplomat's face flushed.

Chi Yao was right. This was not a trivial matter. After the meeting, they had to report to the alliance cabinet, the prime minister and his deputies without stopping.

And they really couldn't make a decision on this matter.

The level pressure was simply not enough.

For a moment, the scene became quiet.

Chi Yao smiled, his smile not reaching his eyes. "Since it is impossible, then both sides should not waste each other's time. You should report to the meeting as soon as possible, and the Empire should also start to inform the entire galaxy of this important decision."

What, what? The entire galaxy should be informed?!

Feeling the determination of the Empire, the chief diplomat was shocked and speechless.

Seeing that he stopped talking, Chi Yao took Shi Xing and left without looking back.

When the last official belonging to the Empire left, the originally quiet hall suddenly became like water dripping into hot oil, boiling up the pot.

"The Empire is not serious, right? No way, no way?"

"What do you mean, they...how can they, how dare they..."

"It's too overbearing, what should we do, how should we report this to the Alliance?"

Listening to the noisy shouting, the chief diplomat finally felt Jane Miller's helplessness and shouted, "Enough!" "

If you don't have any suggestions, shut up, go back to your residence, contact the Alliance and report it."

Shortly after Chi Yao and Shi Xing left the clubhouse, the Empire's official website, the Empire's internal palace official account, and the optical computer background connected to all communicators on the Empire's internal network all issued the same "Important Decision of the Empire on the Border Issue" official notice. The content was extremely concise, and just two lines of words clearly stated the Empire's decision to shrink the border.

The official website and official account both attached the video. Since the personal notification could not include the video, two links were included for the convenience of the public to click and browse.

Yun Wu, a doctor in the North, had been on guard for the whole morning, turning on the projection screen and constantly checking the Star Network. When she saw the notification, her heart, which had been suspended for more than half a month, suddenly settled down.

After reading the notification, Yun Wu had complicated feelings, but her excitement immediately overwhelmed all the accompanying emotions, and she happily forwarded the video to the family group.

As if she was sighing and relieved, she commented.

[Yun Wu: From now on, our legion will be much more relaxed]

Hua Li, a doctor of the Fifth Legion who was recruited in the Imperial Capital, also became one of the first citizens of the Empire to see the notification at the same time.

Unlike Yunwu, Huali only forwarded the notice to her partner, a female general of the Fifth Army.

A moment later, her partner called and Huali answered.

While talking on the phone, he nodded and said with a gentle smile, "Yes, that's great. In the future, you won't be assigned to the border as the main force of the Fifth Army."

Hua Li's smile widened as she thought of something. "I've wanted to tell you for a long time. The elders at home have urged me several times. I also think it's time to register for sampling, choose a suitable artificial uterus, and have a child."

The border guards of the Empire launched dozens of satellites in a row to prevent the soldiers guarding the border from being bored. The Empire's star network covered all the border guards.

So at the farthest point of the border, the doctor Wen Xi and his partner Lu Li saw the notification and video at the same time.

After looking at each other, they smiled at the same time.

After sighing, Wen Xi thought of something and smiled, "But the Empire is about to celebrate the New Year. I don't know if the palace will hold any activities... We'd better return to the imperial capital after the New Year."

Lu Li: "Lu Lu has been sent by me to the deserted planet to clean up the star beasts. There is no signal on the deserted planet. He will not be back for more than a month. Let's make plans after he comes back. By then, the hot spots should have shifted. This video will be covered by subsequent current affairs decisions."

Wen Xi nodded and murmured, "It will take some time. After a year or two, he will forget it."

Lu Li did not think that Lu Lu could forget easily, but his partner was just talking about self-expectation, so he did not object.

The doctors who first learned about this decision all received the news they wanted on this day. When the Empire Star Network first released the news, it did not attract much attention. With the reminder from the first account with many followers, the discussion gradually expanded. In the evening of this day, as soon as the Star Network social platform was opened, everyone was discussing the Empire's decision.

Most of the people in the Empire were happy about this decision.

Some were happy while others were sad. In stark contrast to them, the Alliance planets were naturally shocked and shocked after receiving the news.

The Alliance notified the leaders of all planets to hold an emergency meeting that night without considering the time difference.

The leaders of four of the six planets were no longer talking.

I was so depressed that I had nothing to say.

The Prime Minister of Tianyuan and the royal family of Gallia attended the meeting for the first time on the issue of diplomacy between the Alliance and the Empire.

The meeting was led by these two planets.

The Prime Minister said a lot about not letting the Empire continue to make such calls and analyzing the pros and cons, but everyone was not very moved.

The Cabinet also participated in the meeting. As a supporter of the Prime Minister, the Cabinet Scholar sensed that the atmosphere was not right and asked on behalf of the Prime Minister, "Does everyone have anything to say? Or do you want all planets to unconditionally obey and cooperate with all the plans that the Cabinet and the Prime Minister's Office come up with to constrain the Empire?"

Without waiting for the medium-sized resource stars to speak, the leader of Fernan Star, the largest resource star among the six planets, immediately rejected the idea, "How is that possible?"

The leader of Fernan Star was determined, "If the solution proposed by the Cabinet and the Prime Minister's Office is to tear up the contract, Fernan Star will not accompany you."

The cabinet scholar frowned: "As a core planet of the alliance, how can Fernan be so willful?"

The leader of Fernan sneered, "Willful?"

"Didn't you hear what the Empire said? Once the contract is broken, subsequent medical qualifications will never be open to the planet that broke the contract. We can still find a way to use money to train the army if there is no one stationed on the border. I only ask you, if one day an important leader of my planet and his family members have a mental illness, how will you deal with it?" "

It is well known that only the people of Blue Star have the ability to heal the mental sea. There are many things we can give up, but medical qualifications are not among them. Fernan will not gamble with the health and safety of the leaders of the entire planet."

Neither the prime minister nor the cabinet expected that one of the six major planets would stand up and openly oppose it.

Fernan had just started talking, and the resource stars that had signed the contract said that they would not tear up the contract.

Fernan's words were quite tactful, but some said something harsh, "It's not like everyone hasn't seen the tough attitude of the Empire recently. They are so firm in their words that they want us to give up the medical qualifications we have already obtained. It's too generous of others."

The cabinet scholar: "If we succeed in exerting pressure, they will naturally..."

He was interrupted immediately, "Then let the alliance succeed once. This time, since the diplomatic negotiations, I want to know, which time has the pressure been successful?"

"There is no specific case. Aren't you just writing me a blank check?!"

After that, the resource stars responded one after another, and the cabinet scholars' faces were livid.

Resource Star said fearlessly, "If the Alliance has the ability, don't use us as a gun. Use the power of the few planets you support. I don't want to know how you will do it. Anyway, my attitude is very firm. It is impossible to tear up the contract, especially under the condition that the contract is signed in the name of our planet. It is even more impossible."

The Bachelor of the Cabinet: "You..."

The leader of Resource Star, "Oh, by the way, Tianyuan Star has a strong military, and I'm afraid there is still a bill that has not been calculated. I will tell you directly. According to the estimation of our Finance Department, the crystals and crystals that the Empire has already received are enough for them to maintain a two-year army under the premise of shrinking the border."

The Bachelor of the Cabinet was choked.

What, it has only been more than a month since the opening of medical resources, and the crystals and crystals have reached such a huge amount?

Realizing that tearing up the contract would not affect the Empire in the short term, the cabinet scholars immediately looked at Fernan Star. As the largest resource star, the Ministry of Finance must have calculated the cost.

The leader of Fernan Star admitted, "That's right."

"To be specific, two years and three months."

"If the Alliance and the Empire conflict and unfortunately go to war, it can also support the Empire's war expenses for one year, and..."

"And?" The cabinet scholars were puzzled.

The leader of Fernan sighed and said calmly, "With this time, we can conquer several resource star empires outside the alliance."

In other words, after conquering one star, the crystals and minerals will be replenished. One year is just a concept. In the actual war, the current crystals have laid a solid foundation for the victory of the empire.

After hearing this, the cabinet and the prime minister's office finally fell silent.

The meeting ended unhappily.

But it is not enough for the alliance to admit defeat.

Four of the six planets did not continue to participate in the core discussion, but Tianyuan and Gallia, who have outstanding military strength in the alliance, were unwilling to give up.

A few days later, diplomatic negotiations started again.

This time, just when the Alliance prepared a series of sanctions notices and prepared to intimidate the Empire, the Alliance diplomats, as expected, encountered another surprise -

the Empire read it and directly issued a declaration of war.

The moment they saw it, the diplomats were all confused.

They directly skipped the severance of diplomatic relations, and what kind of operation was a declaration of war? !

The Empire is deliberately not going to let them have an easy time this year, right? ! !

In fact, they were indeed sent back to their residence by the army.

After sending them back, the army did not leave, and directly surrounded the residence of the Alliance diplomats. The chief diplomat was so angry that his old illness relapsed that night and he was hospitalized for infusion. Later

, the Empire announced a shocking number of withdrawal notices on its official website one after another - withdrawing the troops stationed on the border and dispatching them back to the Empire to obey orders.

Why did so many troops return to the Empire?

Are they really going to go to war? !

But there has never been a large-scale war within the Twin Star System. The Empire is no stranger to the Star Beast War every year, but the Alliance is not. People who grew up in the Alliance are used to peace. How could they go to war? ! !

As more and more troops surrounded the diplomatic embassy, ​​and the warships flying in the sky became more and more dense, the atmosphere of war became more and more intense on the land of the Empire.

The Alliance was at a loss, and the four silent resource stars finally realized that they could not let the situation develop any further.

One day, the leader of Fernan Star had a friendly communication with the Imperial Palace.

Later, in a collective vote, the Alliance Prime Minister was dismissed by the Alliance planets for the first time in history.

Later, the Alliance sent a new team of diplomats to visit the Empire.

The atmosphere was tense and ready to explode.

At the last meeting, a diplomat couldn't help but ask, "If the Empire cancels the border, who will guard the extra border?"

Chi Yao gave a cold answer, "The garrisons on the border were set according to the algorithm of the most intensive invasion of star beasts when a large-scale beast tide came. Now that the border has been relocated, some places don't need so many garrisons at all. The Alliance can completely cancel the troops there and distribute them to other garrisons."

"Of course, this is just a proposal. The Empire has no control over the Alliance's actions and is not qualified to control them."

"Your planets, your star regions, and the extra borders, you can't ask the Empire to be responsible, right?"

The diplomat hesitated.

But he never dared to say anything to provoke Chi Yao again.

There was no other reason. There were at least ten SS-level officers and five SSS-level officers around the meeting. He still valued his life.

After the meeting ended that day, Chi Yao and Shi Xing took each other back to the palace. Feeling the increasingly cold air in the imperial capital, Shi Xing breathed in white mist and said, "The New Year is only a month away."

"I really hope this matter will end soon so that we can have a good New Year."

After thinking for a while, he added, "Don't fight."

Chi Yao hugged the man, and stopped the wind with his mental power, and said firmly, "There will be no fight. The alliance is used to peace, and we don't have the courage."

Shi Xing felt a little cold and leaned towards Chi Yao, "I hope so."

Chi Yao didn't want to talk about this boring topic, so he asked Shi Xing, "How do you want to spend the New Year? Do you have any plans?"

Shi Xing asked with a smile, "Do you have a vacation?"

Chi Yao: "After this matter is over, I plan to rest for a while."

Shi Xing knew this, it was a death order from Erya.

Because of the heavy workload, Chi Yao's mental disorder was particularly strange this time. When he saw that it was time to get better, he would always relapse. The problem was not serious, but it made the doctor worried.

After several discussions, Erya finally concluded that he was too tired and needed to rest.

But the current situation in the empire...

Chi Yao really can't rest.

The declaration of war has been issued, and the entire empire is currently in a state of high tension.

Shi Xing didn't want to talk about the disappointing things anymore, so he went into the palace and changed the subject and asked Chi Yao, "Does the snow in the imperial capital get heavy every year?"

Chi Yao knew that Shi Xing liked to watch the snow, so he smiled deliberately and said, "Do you want it to be heavy or..."

The confrontation between the empire and the alliance lasted for nearly ten days, and neither side had an easy time during these ten days.

Every day, countless secret games are happening, carried out, and then dealt with.

But as Chi Yao said, the alliance is accustomed to peace.

Before the New Year, under the high-pressure diplomatic attitude of the empire, the alliance finally retreated.

This retreat also indicated that the alliance was completely defeated in this diplomatic negotiation.

But they had to retreat.

Whether it was for medical resources or for peace, the Alliance did not have the determination of the Empire to make a desperate change. After a few points of internal disintegration, the entire Alliance also fell apart like a pile of loose sand.

On the day of signing the border line re-draft agreement, after Chi Yao signed and stamped it, Shi Xing, as his partner, signed his name on an important document for the first time.

After signing, both parties did not want to communicate more. The diplomats surrounded by the Empire and the new diplomats, as if someone was chasing them from behind, did not wait for a second longer and immediately set out to return to the Alliance.

Shi Xing and Chi Yao saw them off in the name of the Imperial Royal Family. Watching the figures of several airships leaving under the "protection" of the Imperial battleships, Shi Xing felt that he would not see the Alliance diplomats for a long time.

That day, Shi Xing fell asleep with his head on the pillow and had no dreams all night.

The next day, when he woke up and opened the window, he saw the sky and the earth were the same color. Shi Xing was surprised and said, "Your Highness, it's snowing in the capital?!"

Chi Yao yawned, walked to Shi Xing's side and looked out, and confirmed, "Yes, it's snowing." Shi

Xing was happy and leaned out of the window. Chi Yao was afraid that he would fall, so he held his waist and asked him to go slowly.

In the static and dynamic contact, Shi Xing discovered something and his eyes widened, "Your Highness, is your disorder finally over? I don't feel any fluctuations?"

Shi Xing is now very proficient in using the contract to enter Chi Yao's spiritual sea.

Chi Yao felt it and realized that his disorder seemed to have really passed.

After receiving the affirmation, Shi Xing smiled, "Great~"

"I can continue to treat your spiritual sea, Your Highness."

Looking at Shi Xing's brilliant smile, Chi Yao pressed Shi Xing's eyes with his long fingers, his throat slid for a moment, and nodded, "Yeah." He

hugged Shi Xing with his long arms and kissed the end of his eyebrows.

Chi Yao deliberately leaned close to Shi Xing's ear and imitated his tone, "Great~"

"I can also teach you some new skills."

Chi Yao's pronunciation was unclear, and Shi Xing didn't understand it the first time, "Ah, what knowledge, off-court combat?"

Thinking that he could only be taught after the spiritual sea was healed, Shi Xing's first reaction was training.

The two looked at each other, their eyes intertwined for a moment, Chi Yao leaned over, his breath swept over Shi Xing's ear, and whispered, "On the bed."

Shi Xing was stunned for a moment before he reacted.

It's not knowledge, it's posture.
