Of course Ivan knows what these ministers are thinking now.

In fact, the ministers who were excited just now and shouted to send troops and make the Black Iron Empire pay the price are basically from the military. It can be said that they themselves prefer to use force to solve problems, and they can be regarded as typical militants.

Now that he has raised this point, it is not that easy to deal with these stupid warriors.

Of course, Ivan did not intend to seize this point and pursue the victory. In terms of speech, it would not do him any good to defeat these military ministers.

These ministers have fiery personalities. Sometimes they know they are wrong in their hearts, but they will not admit it with their mouths. Pushing them into a hurry may have the opposite effect.

Now that they are obviously showing weakness, it means that the effect he wanted has been achieved.

However, Ivan will not end there when it comes to conveying his ideas.

As mentioned before, Ivan is not a fool, on the contrary, he is very smart.

If it is said that his father has been asking him to handle various government affairs over the years, Ivan only thinks that his father is training him so that he can better assist his elder brother Ajer in managing the Elf Kingdom in the future.

Well, before, when his father said that he was the future of this country, and took the initiative to personally go to the Black Iron Empire and let him supervise the country's governance, Ivan had already clearly realized that his father wanted him to succeed!

To be honest, before this, Ivan had always believed that his eldest brother Ajer would become the next Elf King after his father abdicated.

Ivan is not dissatisfied with this matter. At the same time, the relationship between the two brothers has always been good, so he is willing to serve as the right-hand man of his eldest brother Ajer and contribute to the future of the Elf Kingdom.

But after his father revealed this intention to him, Ivan was able to understand his father's thoughts.

According to his eldest brother's temperament and ability, this position may not be that suitable for him. In the future, being a marshal like Uncle Philip would be more suitable for him.

So taking this into consideration, if his father needed him to succeed, Ivan would also accept it and be mentally prepared.

In this way, facing the situation before him, he naturally had to do something to improve his approval rate.

"As the Elf King, my father is kind. Regardless of his birth status, he values ​​every clan member and is willing to do his best to protect them. I think my father is absolutely not willing to see us sacrificing the lives of those clan members at will! This is simply

It is an insult and smear to his life!"

What Ivan said is basically the truth. The elders and ministers present here really know very well what kind of elf king Jason Rust is.

This also makes Ivan's words fully convincing.

Of course, he didn't intend to just say this. He also wanted to say some more practical things...

"In addition, our elves have a limited population, so the size of our troops is also limited. We have already dispatched a large number of troops to join the expeditionary force to fight against the Zerg in the new universe. Under this premise, if we want to fight against the black

If the Iron Empire goes to war and sends troops to attack the borders of the Black Iron Empire, then the defense power of our Elf Kingdom will inevitably be greatly weakened."

Having said this, Ivan's eyes swept across the faces of every elder and minister present.

"It's obviously too dangerous to do that."

"But on the other hand, if we send troops to attack the border of the Black Iron Empire on the premise of ensuring the national border defense strength, then the scale of the troops sent out will be too small, and the combat power may not be able to threaten the Black Iron Empire at all, and it will only be in vain

Increase losses."

Ivan said this at this time to tell the military ministers that he was not patronizing his father's reputation. He had also given serious thought to military operations.

In a few words, not only did the military ministers who were originally dissatisfied with him change their minds, but they also made other elders and ministers who had been watching on the sidelines without expressing much opinions frequently look at him with side eyes.

Judging from the current situation, the Prince Ivan in front of them is probably a far more mature ruler than they expected.

The events in the Black Iron Empire and the Elf Kingdom have undoubtedly attracted the attention of the entire known universe.

Next, the direct dialogue between the two heads of state will also have a huge impact on the situation of the entire known universe.

Under this premise, the Black Iron Empire and the Elf Kingdom are currently both members of the Seven Star Alliance. If the matter reaches this point, the Alliance Committee of the Seven Star Alliance will naturally send mediators again to mediate.

The best candidate among them is undoubtedly the Ye Chamber of Commerce.

Not only because of the special status of the Ye's Chamber of Commerce itself in the universe, but also because the Ye's Chamber of Commerce has branches in the capitals of both countries.

However, out of caution, and also out of attaching great importance to this incident, the Ye Chamber of Commerce also specially sent Mia, the Secretary-General of the Alliance Committee, to serve as a mediator and a witness to participate in the entire process.

A dialogue between the two heads of state.

Since the meeting was online, with the involvement of the Yip Chamber of Commerce, it was easy to arrange and was quickly arranged.

A minute or two before the meeting started, the holographic stereoscopic images of Ivan Rust and Pompeo Rand entered the online conference room one after another.

Ivan wanted to get there first. After entering the online meeting room, Ivan showed no expression on his face and nodded to Mia calmly.

Even if they have to completely fall out with the Black Iron Empire, it will not affect their relationship and cooperation with the Ye Chamber of Commerce.

Obviously, Ivan still attaches great importance to the cooperative relationship with the Ye Chamber of Commerce.

The same was true for Pompeo Rand, who later entered the online conference room.

But while Pompeo Rand and Mia nodded, Ivan's face darkened significantly.

"I should have said that I want to have a direct conversation with the Black Iron Emperor!"

After doing something like that, the Black Iron Emperor didn't show up? This can't even be described as 'discourteous'!

Ivan's reaction was undoubtedly what Pompeo Rand expected.

But before Pompeo Rand could speak, Mia's voice rang out in the conference room...

"Prince Ivan, please calm down. This is by no means a slight or contempt. According to our understanding, His Majesty Rand passed away a week ago."

"..."

Mia's words caused Ivan, whose face was already filled with anger, to freeze. Then he subconsciously turned his gaze back to Pompeo Rand.

Feeling Ivan's gaze, Pompeo Rand nodded expressionlessly.

"Yes, my father, the previous emperor of the Black Iron Empire, passed away in his palace a week ago. This news has not been announced to the public yet. However, as a representative of the Alliance Committee, Secretary-General Mia has confirmed

Passed."
