At this time, in the manor restaurant, the members of the Longxia delegation had just finished breakfast and were sitting there chatting.
This was exactly the scene that James Kent and his party saw when they arrived. At the same time, they also smelled the aroma of food in the air. They couldn't help but widen their eyes and stood there in a daze.
The scene before them was completely different from the countless scenes they had imagined before. They felt that with no food and under house arrest, the life of the Longxia people must be very miserable. After all, being hungry is not a pleasant feeling.
But the result was that every Longxia citizen had a rosy complexion, and it seemed that they had lived a very good life in the past two days.
James Kent was the first to come to his senses. He glanced deeply at Mr. Zhao, who was also looking at him, then turned to the secretary beside him and whispered, "Didn't I tell you to take all the ingredients away? What's going on?"
"Mr. Deputy Minister, I did follow your orders. After the staff took away all the ingredients, I went to check them. I didn't leave until I was sure there were no problems!"
"Then tell me, where do they get their food from?"
"I don't know. Do you think it's possible that they sneaked out?"
"Don't you know where this is? Why was this chosen as the venue for the exchange? Wasn't it because the nearest Xiaozhen is two hours away by car? You said they have no means of transportation and are unfamiliar with the place. Even if they get out, do you think they can find food?"
"this……"
Seeing that his secretary was speechless, James Carter glared at him angrily, then adjusted his mood and led everyone towards Mr. Zhao.
"Mr. Zhao, is there any result? I came here today to hear the good news. I hope you won't let me down!" James Kent said with an expression of confidence on his face.
Mr. Zhao looked at him and shook his head. He didn't answer his question immediately. Instead, he asked, "Mr. Kent, before I answer your question, could you please explain to me what has been going on these past two days? Is this how you treat your guests?"
"No, no, no, I think you're mistaken. A guest must first be recognized by us, and you were indeed guests at the beginning, but now, you're no longer! But if you're willing to give me some good news, I will personally apologize to everyone here and treat you with the highest etiquette of our Magnesium Country!"
Old Master Zhao looked at James Kent's fake smile, sneered, and said, "So, there's nothing to talk about?"
"Now it seems that's true!" Kent nodded, then as if he had thought of something, he continued, "By the way, there's one more thing I need to inform you of. Because there's a problem with the visas of everyone in your delegation, they're not allowed to leave the country in the short term. We'll have to wait until our people have investigated thoroughly before we can tell you the results. You see, you're now considered to have entered the country illegally, so naturally there's no need for me to continue providing you with food. But I'm a kind person, at least I won't let you sleep on the streets. During the time you're under investigation, this manor will be provided for you to live in free of charge. But as for the problem of food, you'll need to figure it out on your own. And I see that you seem to be eating well while my people are away, so I think there should be a solution!"
After Kent finished speaking, he stood up and stared down at Old Man Zhao, as if waiting for the Longxia man in front of him to beg him.
But he overestimated himself and underestimated the people of Longxia. Begging him? Not to mention that it won't happen in this life, it won't happen in the next life, or the next.
Seeing that Mr. Zhao had no intention of looking at or talking, James Kent's expression became even gloomier, and he turned and walked outside.
He had only taken two steps when he suddenly stopped and turned back to add, "Just a reminder, there's a phone in the lobby where you can reach me. If anyone can't handle it anymore, you can call me!"
After saying that, the group left the restaurant with laughter.
Just half an hour after James Kent and his group left, a group of bigwigs far away in the center of Longxia Kingdom had already learned the news.
Suddenly, the entire conference room was filled with cursing.
And an hour later, the Longxia Embassy in Magnesium and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs also received the official letter of investigation from Magnesium.
The reason was exactly the same as what Kent had said in the restaurant before, which was that anyone could always find a pretext to accuse someone of a crime.
After the old men in the center had cursed enough, the orders were quickly conveyed to the commanders of certain military regions through confidential secretaries.
For example, the Minzhou Military Region received an order from the central government. As the emergency assembly order was issued, the soldiers who were ready to go quickly assembled and boarded the military trucks in an orderly manner. A convoy of dozens of trucks drove out of the military camp.
Two Harmony Power strategic nuclear submarines that were carrying out routine patrol missions in Japan and South Korea also immediately headed towards the target sea area at full speed after receiving the order.
Because the confidentiality level of this mission was extremely high, the Magnesium Country did not receive any news. At this time, James Kent was attending a high-level meeting on sanctions and deterrence against the Longxia Country.
An hour after the meeting ended, the fleet commanders of two fully staffed aircraft carrier battle groups cruising in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans headed towards the target sea area, the South China Sea of Longxia Kingdom.
At the moment they received the order to change the route, Xu Jianguo received an alarm reminder from the space satellite. After taking a quick look at the message and learning the estimated destinations of the two aircraft carrier battle groups, Xu Jianguo exited the system panel.
Six hours later, Longxia Kingdom also learned about the unusual movements of two aircraft carrier battle groups of Magnesium Kingdom through the Beidou satellite navigation system. Then an order was transmitted from the central government to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Le, and then forwarded to the national media by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
In the following four hours, Longxia’s spokesperson and state media went into full swing, issuing four press releases and two notices.
What the Magnesium people did this time was directly disclosed to the public, and not only domestically, but also some international media organizations that have good relations with Longxia Country forwarded it.
In less than two hours, the news of the Magnesian people's plundering and disregard for diplomatic etiquette spread around the world.
But if these four press releases were enough to shock the whole world, then the two consecutive notices issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs were definitely high-yield depth bombs, which directly caused an uproar around the world. Some people even felt that if what was said in the notice was true, then Longxia Country would reshape the world's pattern.
