It's late October.

Hokkaido is already a world of snow country. On the road of an obviously pastoral village, there is a figure wearing an ancient round hat, sackcloth, and only a pair of straw sandals at his feet. In the howling cold wind, the man left a series of straight footprints on the road, which were quickly drowned in the white road by the wind and snow.

This is clearly a practitioner.

The practitioner walked until dusk, and finally reached the edge of the village, which seemed to be cold and tired. He came to the door of a small courtyard, raised the bell in his hand and shook it lightly a few times, and soon the door of the small courtyard opened, and a big-eyed girl in a down jacket looked at the figure in front of her with some surprise.

Begging bells are an ancient tradition of asking for alms, but almost no one uses them in modern society. However, the girl was obviously the kind-hearted and enthusiastic person, and opened the courtyard door and asked, "Do you need help, this guest?"

This cultivator turned out to be a young man in his early twenties, with a handsome face, but there was a simple and innocent artistic conception on his body, which made the girl stunned for a moment. The young man bowed slightly and said, "Miss, please forgive Xiaosheng for being presumptuous." I haven't found a bank here, and I'm running out of money, so I want to beg for a little food, so please forgive me. ”

"No problem, please come in!" the girl jumped up at once, happily took the young man's arm and went into the yard, and at the same time shouted in a long voice: "Father, mother, prepare dinner, there is a guest coming!"

But the young man didn't enter the room, but just sat down in the corridor outside the entrance: "Miss, don't be careful, Xiaosheng is a cultivator, and he can't be contaminated with too much human traffic." All you need to do is pick up some leftovers, and you'll be sure to come back after your birthday. ”

"Oh. The girl seemed a little disappointed when she heard this, but she prepared a sumptuous meal for the boy and brought it herself to the corridor. Looking at the young man's small bite of eating, the girl's eyes were a little obsessed, "Guest, you are a cultivator, are you a monk?"

"No, I'm just an ordinary martial artist......" The boy was eating when he accidentally saw a newspaper placed next to the hallway.

The newspaper was yesterday, and one piece of content caught his eye:

Mr. Tsuyoshi Fujita, a great martial artist of the Japanese kingdom, the owner of the Urata Dodo Stadium and a karate master, unfortunately died in a car accident in the sea during his visit to Oros with the consul. Gokuku Vacuum Karate Yohei Tsuno, Gangjudo Karate Masashi Sawada, Aikido Ueshiba Ryuichi expressed their deep condolences, and international friends of martial artists, Taekwondo master Kim Sang-jae and Judo master Paul Phoenix of Kokuni, also called to express their condolences.

Today, Mr. Fujita's ashes have been enshrined at the ceremonial shrine, and the cause of Mr. Fujita's death is yet to be confirmed......

The boy put down the newspaper and sighed slightly: "Mr. Fujita, he still passed away." It's a pity, it's a pity. ”

"I, can I leave your name?" the girl couldn't help but ask when she saw that the boy was about to leave after eating, and her eyes showed a look of longing. The boy was still so indifferent, and he didn't hide anything.

"Of course, my name is Okawa, Naoya Okawa. After the boy finished speaking, he put on his hat again and disappeared into the vast snowy night.

At this time, the news that Fujita had just been defeated in Haishenwei spread far and wide, and in just one week, it almost shook the entire martial arts world and the underworld of Frozen Heaven! Even the European and American fighting circles on the other side of the ocean were alarmed.

On a special plane, a group of tall whites, blacks, and yellows have flown in the direction of Frozen Pearl......

……

Haishenwei, Chinese Consulate.

Early in the morning, another flag-raising ceremony was held inside the consulate. It's November, and the climate is even colder, and a heavy snowfall a few days ago has made it almost half a person deep, and it's almost impossible to go out. But the majestic March of the Volunteers has a heart-warming artistic conception, making the national flag rise with the rising sun.

Raising the flag every Monday morning is a ceremony that will never change the Chinese consulates in various countries. However, today's flag-raising ceremony is different from previous years, in addition to the Chinese People's Liberation Army stationed in Haishenwei, the peacekeeping police force, there are also representatives of the local Chinese group, and even international friends who participated in the ceremony, including Ivanov, the military representative of Russia.

Because after this short period of fundraising, the Chinese side has completely acquired 500 million euros of shares in Haishenwei, including a large port share, as well as three terminal shares. Although it was just an ordinary flag-raising ceremony, the significance was extraordinary, Yu Chengcheng was also in the ranks of the commanders and fighters of the Chinese army, saluting, and watching the national flag rise to the top with a solemn expression, fluttering in the wind.

"The flag-raising ceremony is over, and now I invite the chief to make a speech under the national flag!"

After the applause, Cheng Xitong walked to the rostrum and adjusted the microphone with his hand.

"Comrades, overseas compatriots, and international friends, welcome to this rare flag-raising ceremony. As you must know, we have reached a diplomatic agreement with Russia, and Russia has helped China open four North Pacific treaty ports.

There was another round of applause, and Cheng Xitong pressed his hand weakly.

"This time we were able to achieve diplomacy, and there was a commander and fighter who made a great contribution, and she was Comrade Yu Tingcheng of the Jiangyan County Corps. Since joining the Communist Party of China and the Chinese People's Liberation Army, Comrade Yu Tingcheng has repeatedly made meritorious contributions and is organizationally ready to be commended after returning to China. But this time, General Ivanov of the Russian side also wants to confer merit on Comrade Yu Tingcheng, so we will make an exception and hold a ceremony to confer the title here!"

"Please Comrade Yu Tingcheng come out of the ranks!"

"Yes!" Yu Qingcheng responded, and Cheng Rui, who was standing next to her, pushed happily: "Come on, you're going to raise your salary again!"

Ivanov had just stepped onto the rostrum to prepare for the award, which made Cheng Xitong embarrassed for a while, and said into the microphone: "Individual comrades, please pay attention, what occasion?"

Cheng Rui stuck out her tongue and quickly stood up straight. Yu Qingcheng was also speechless for a while, but he still straightened his demeanor and stepped onto the rostrum. Yu Chengcheng has now worn all kinds of military merits that he has been winning, and this time he has added a collective special merit military medal, which looks very magnificent, and the guard next to Cheng Xitong also stepped forward, took out the epaulettes from the brocade box and replaced them with Yu Chengcheng, and then Yu Tingcheng saluted Cheng Xitong, and then took the military ID card with standard gestures.

Then, Ivanov also stepped forward, took a medal-like Oros military medal, stepped forward and hung it on Yu Chengcheng's neck, Yu Chengcheng saluted again, and received the certificate of honor with standard gestures, and then turned back to salute all the commanders and fighters. After that, the guard who had been discharged from the hospital also went to the rostrum to accept the promotion ceremony, and Cheng Xitong was also secretly relieved. Looking at Cheng Rui, who was still smirking under the rostrum, he really wanted to slap it.

After returning to the team, Cheng Rui said in a low voice: "Allure, this award is held temporarily, so you have to hand over the money to the General Affairs Section after the flag-raising ceremony." Sixty pieces of soft epaulettes for colonels, seventy pieces for hard epaulettes, and four hundred rubles for the military merit medal of Oros. That's what the consulate said. ”

"Don't make a fuss. Yu Tingcheng didn't know what this girl's brain was thinking, after so many years, she couldn't grow up.

Fortunately, the subsequent speech under the national flag inherited the habit of Chinese officials making reports, whether it was the diplomatic spokesman of the consulate, or Secretary Tu and Secretary Zheng, they made reports that were neither long nor short. The people at the bottom also began to doze off until the flag-raising ceremony finally ended at 8 a.m., and the participants scattered from the playground like schoolchildren. And the main leaders of the government, commanders and fighters, as well as representatives of enterprises, went to the port together.

Today is the first sea ship under the jurisdiction of the domestic government to depart from Haishenwei Port, which is of epoch-making significance, and it is natural to carry out a ribbon-cutting activity.

"Look, that's the cruise ship that's about to go to sea. ”

On the edge of the harbor, there is an endless coastline. The highway to the south of the sea is a port and an airport, and all kinds of transport vehicles shuttle back and forth, and the faces of whites, blacks, and even blacks frequently intersect on the docks. Ivanov accompanied Cheng Xitong to visit and inspect several private groups, and even the airport of United Airlines was opened for everyone to visit, which made Cheng Xitong feel more and more emotional.

"Haishenwei International Port, south of Peter the Great Bay is the Ritai Sea, which is connected to the Rihan trade and is a treasure land of Feng Shui in Frozen Heaven. And because of the high latitude, it only takes half a day to reach Alaska in the United States, which is also an important transportation hub in the eastern and western hemispheres. Ivanov walked along and introduced the routes of various docks and airports.

"In addition to opening shipping, can we also open civil aviation here?" After about an hour, Cheng Xitong and the others only visited a small part of the port. It is impossible to imagine how huge the daily throughput of such a large port will be, and the tickets for shipping and air transportation alone are astronomical.

Moreover, the underground underworld enterprises are engaged in smuggling, smuggling, drugs, and arms. In □□, quite a few people were quietly smuggled here, and then "repatriated" to □ country by Bai Dao through regular channels, and it can be said that not only money can be laundered, but everyone can be "laundered"! Cheng Xitong could not help but sigh that those who can make money will never be able to catch up with those who can launder money.

Seeing that the foreigner's country and the local black dock joined forces to launder money, Cheng Xitong was not jealous, it was fake.

Ivanov smiled: "Of course, as long as you have money, you can do any business." However, on the surface, our government departments still don't want to get involved in illegal business, and when there is great international pressure, we have to sacrifice a few to make a show. There is no way to do this, otherwise they would not have set up a consulate here. ”

"Rest assured, our country's system, the government cannot accommodate the black state. Cheng Xitong sighed.

Ivanov smiled and said: "How can this be done, how can the country develop without the support of the private sector and light industry? There is a saying in China that freedom is not prohibited by law, and as long as the society is stable, there is no armed conflict, and GDP can be increased, this is a good thing. Some people say that unspoken rules are bad, but unspoken rules are also rules, and it is better than no rules and better than starvation! Otherwise, why would people □□ flee to □ country?"

Saying that, Ivanov had already led everyone to the port edge of the Minghua Group. On a cruise ship, there are colorful flags, which is the habit of Chinese to cut ribbons, but Cheng Xitong now seems to be a little cheesy on this port.

"Buzz......!"

After the ribbon cutting, amid cheers from the port, the first cargo ship financed by the Chinese mainland government finally went to sea.
