The 4762nd Chapter Summit Dialogue (Two)
This situation was undoubtedly completely beyond Ivan's expectations. He never thought that Barry Rand, the Dark Iron Emperor, who was still clamoring for the declaration of war at the domestic press conference before, had died.
According to the situation just learned, the other party may have just finished the press conference and died not long after returning to his bedroom.
This news should not be fake. As a representative of the Dark Iron Empire, Pompeii Rand may lie to him, but the Ye's Chamber of Commerce should not, and there is no reason to lie to him.
With the confirmation from the Ye's Chamber of Commerce, Barry Rand's death should already be a sure thing.
I have to say that the appearance of this news somewhat disrupted Ivan's original plan.
The scene fell into silence for a while, and Mia, as a mediator and witness, naturally would not let this state continue.
After confirming that the time was up, Mia let out two dry coughs, drawing the attention of the heads of the two countries to herself.
"The time is up. At one o'clock in the afternoon of the universe time, the summit meeting between the two countries initiated by the Dark Iron Empire and the Elf Kingdom officially begins."
When the time is up, Mia starts the process.
Because this meeting will be used as evidence, the whole process will be recorded, so as part of the evidence, the process that should be taken still has to go.
"The representative sent by the Dark Iron Empire is the first-in-line heir of the Dark Iron Empire, the Grand Prince Pompeii Rand, while the representative sent by the Elf Kingdom is the second-in-line heir to the Elf Kingdom. Prince Ivan Rust."
After briefly introducing the identities of both parties, Mia raised her hands...
"Now, ask the two of you to confirm whether you have full authority to speak on behalf of the two countries."
"Confirm (confirm)!"
"Okay, the content of the next entire meeting will be recorded with holographic images throughout the process as evidence in the future. Please also keep calm and communicate seriously during the meeting."
Having said that, Mia paused, then raised one hand and made an oath.
"I, Mia, as the secretary general of the Seven Star Alliance Committee, hereby swear that, as the mediator, notary and host of this meeting, I will uphold a fair and objective attitude and will never favor any party."
"In order to ensure the order of the meeting, and also to ensure that the two sides can communicate effectively, I will ask the two of you questions in turn throughout the meeting, and use the method of silence. Only when the question is answered, the silence will be lifted."
"At the same time, when faced with questions, please do not deviate from the question itself, and do not allow insulting remarks. If there is any need to add or raise objections, as the host of this meeting, I will leave time for both parties to speak freely. ."
After saying a long reminder, Mia glanced at the representatives of both parties.
"Can you two disagree?"
"No objection (no objection)."
"Okay, now the meeting officially starts, and the silence is on."
With the opening of the ban, after sorting out the documents in front of him, Mia's eyes first fell on Ivan.
"We first confirm the ins and outs of the whole thing, and according to the chronological order of the whole thing sorted out so far, please Prince Ivan to speak first, starting from your decision to send an envoy to the Black Iron Empire. ideas, and explain to a certain extent.”
While speaking, Mia lifted Ivan's silence.
Ivan did not speak immediately, but took a deep breath first.
It's easy for Ivan to retell the situation at that time, but he needs to control his emotions first.
"Our country and the Black Iron Empire have always maintained good diplomatic relations before. After the accident in the Black Iron Empire, my father said that he would be a real friend who would give help in a timely manner, so he decided to personally send the Black Iron Empire to the Black Iron Empire during that sensitive period. , to show support for the Dark Iron Empire and to prove the friendship between the two countries..."
Speaking of which, Ivan, whose mood was obviously fluctuating violently, was already staring at Pompeii Rand with his eyes full of anger.
Combined with the previous words, facing Ivan's eyes full of anger at this time, Pompeii Rand's mood was extremely complicated, and for a while, he didn't know how to deal with it.
Fortunately, Mia reminded in time...
"Prince Ivan, please continue your statement."
Ivan, who heard the reminder, took another deep breath.
"I was against it at the time. Although I had no opinion on the decision to support the Dark Iron Empire, I was against my father going in person, but obviously, my objection was invalid. In the end, my father and our mission set off on time according to the determined date. Go to the Dark Iron Empire."
When talking about this, Ivan seemed to want to continue talking, but was interrupted in time by Mia.
"Okay, then I will ask Prince Pompeii to speak, Prince Ivan, please adjust your mood."
Because after the mission set off, Ivan didn't know much about what happened next, and his perspective had turned to the Dark Iron Empire.
Under this premise, if Ivan continues to speak, then the next speech will only bring obvious emotions, which is not beneficial to this meeting.
Timely control the field at such a time, so that the meeting can go on more smoothly, this is what Mia has to do.
With Prince Ivan, the silence was activated, and the opportunity to speak quickly turned to Pompeii Rand.
Compared to Ivan, who was a little excited, as a dwarf with a naturally hot personality, Pompeii Rand was surprisingly calm at this time.
The root cause, to put it bluntly, is because of the death of Barry Rand, there is a transition.
Although there were also speculations inside, it was the assassination of the Elf King that stimulated Barry Rand and accelerated the death of the other party.
But in fact, as I said before, Barry Rand's body has been getting worse day by day.
The impact of the previous online speech has brought a heavy blow to him, almost making him unable to recover.
In other words, for the death of Barry Rand, Pompeii Rand's heart was somewhat prepared in advance.
At that time, if Barry Rand was directly killed by someone, then Pompeii Rand would have been furious.
But he actually died relatively quietly in his bedroom, which caused Pompeii Rand's emotions at that time, rather than anger, to be more of a grief of losing a loved one.
Pompeii Lande had a heavy tone, but he was very calm throughout the speech.
In contrast, when he said that Barry Rand accused the Elf King of intending to assassinate, Ivan on the other side was obviously agitated.
However, due to the restriction of silence, Pompeii Rand's entire speech was not directly affected.
