Chapter 1,225: War of Words

Even though she was suddenly insulted and everyone focused their attention on her, Vivian remained calm.

After listening to the translator's translation, Vivian still had a proper and polite smile on her face.

After laughing twice silently, Vivian said:

"Sir, you don't know about this."

The tone of Vivian's voice was not high, but the tone was quite clear, and the volume was enough for everyone in the meeting hall to hear clearly.

"It is indeed as your Excellency said just now - there are more than 200 people in our country's General Department of Foreign Affairs."

"But your Excellency may not know the specific operation mode of our country's General Department of Foreign Affairs."

"In our country's General Department of Foreign Affairs, there are departments responsible for conducting diplomatic activities with different countries."

"There is the 'Northern Department' responsible for conducting diplomatic activities with the Holy Xilan Empire."

"There is the 'Eastern Department' responsible for conducting diplomatic activities with the Frankish Empire."

"Of course, there is also the 'Southern Department' responsible for conducting diplomatic activities with the Rolin Empire."

"Among them, the North and East Departments have the most department members. At the same time, the members' abilities are also the most outstanding."

"The reason is simple - the Holy Xilan Empire and the Frankish Empire are both great powers that deserve our country's attention."

"For great powers of this level, we naturally dare not neglect them. We have transferred our best envoys to the North and East Departments responsible for conducting diplomatic activities with these two countries."

"As for the South Department."

At this point, Vivian deliberately paused.

She changed to a slightly apologetic tone.

"I always speak directly, please forgive me."

"Forgive me for being blunt - no one has worked in the South Office of our General Foreign Affairs Bureau for a long time."

"It seems that it has been like this since 5 years ago. The office of the South Office has been covered with dust because no one has been working there for a long time."

When saying this, Vivian emphasized the word "5 years ago".

"Because those tall and capable historians have been transferred to the North Office and the East Office, I, a petite person with mediocre ability, can only be temporarily sent to your country as an envoy."

The interpreter who accompanied Vivian on the mission to the Rollin Empire was one of the best interpreters in the General Foreign Affairs Bureau of the Britannia Empire.

Not long after Vivian finished speaking, the interpreter translated Vivian's words into the Rollin language without missing a word.

After the interpreter repeated what Vivian had just said in the Rolin language, a low chuckle sounded in the meeting hall.

Those who laughed were basically those who had no interest in the war or peace between the Britannia Empire and the Rolin Empire.

Just now, when they saw Deni and others coming to trouble Vivian, they immediately came to see the trouble.

After hearing Vivian's witty answer just now, many people who came to watch the fun couldn't help laughing.

On the other hand, Deni and others looked quite ugly.

A young man ran out to insult Vivian, and Deni scolded the rude young man - these were all designed and arranged.

Deliberately staged such a play to humiliate Vivian, who was short and too young, and to give Vivian a warning.

As a result, their humiliation was cleverly resolved by Vivian, and they were also sharply counterattacked by Vivian.

Some civil and military officials standing beside Denis were annoyed by Vivian's sarcasm about their Rolin Empire, and were also puzzled and angry at those who laughed out loud.

"You bastards..." A younger military officer gritted his teeth and squeezed out words that only he could hear clearly, "This guy was just sarcastically criticizing our country, what's so funny...!"

Deni took several deep breaths,

only then did his frown relax again.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that you and others were here to cause trouble for Vivian.

Since even outsiders could see this, let alone Vivian, the person involved.

Anyway, everyone knew why they came to Vivian, so Denis simply showed up, tore off his disguise, and stopped being hypocritically polite to Vivian.

"Heh." Denis smiled a few times and said to Vivian in a mocking tone, "When there is nothing going on, the South Office, which is dedicated to conducting diplomatic activities with our country, is empty."

"When there is something going on, envoys are sent here in a hurry."

"Is this how the Britannia Empire treats its friendly countries?"

Since the formal signing of the Treaty of Troyes five years ago, the relationship between the Britannia Empire and the Rolin Empire has changed from "war" to "friendly".

In the past five years, the official relationship between the two countries has always been a relationship between friendly countries.

The question Denis raised was more pointed than the question the young man raised to Vivian just now.

Vivian could be speechless - Denis was very confident about this.

However, after listening to the translator's translation, Vivian laughed silently again and said:

"Mr. Dupont. It is because your country is a friendly country with our country that we act this way."

"What...?" Denis widened his eyes with doubts.

Not only Denis.

The comrades beside Denis also looked puzzled.

Vivian paused for a moment to give Denis and others some time to buffer.

Then, she continued in a calm tone:

"There are two kinds of friendship in this world."

"One kind of friendship is to constantly meet and communicate with your friends. Only in this way can you keep this friendship and prevent it from fading."

"And the other kind of friendship does not need to be so troublesome."

"There is no need to meet frequently or have heated exchanges. Even if the two do nothing, the friendship will not fade over time."

"These two kinds of friendship, the former is a false friendship, and the latter is a true friendship."

"Our country has always regarded your country as We have not been able to become true friends with you, so we have not had frequent exchanges with you over the years. "

"We regard you as a friend and believe that you are a true friend who does not need to be cautious, so we send all those elite envoys who are capable and good at calculating to deal with the Holy Land Empire and the Frank Empire and other small countries with which we have bad relations and we have no intention of recognizing them as friends. "

"Don't interact with each other when there is nothing to do, and actively help each other when there is something to do - isn't this the true way to treat friends? "

"Actively interact when there is nothing to do, and don't help each other when there is something to do - this is the way of getting along for villains. "
