When the smoke clears, what can be left for us?

Is it full of flowers, or is it sorrowful?

The vast North American continent is full of traces of gunsmoke, but everywhere is thriving prosperity and vitality!

In July 1600, the first anniversary of the United States of America was celebrated, and a huge military parade and celebratory parade were held in the square in front of the newly built government building, the Hexagon, in the capital city of New York City!

At the military parade, the most eye-catching thing was the armored fleet that drove over the sea and sounded 24 trumpets!

This fleet, consisting of seventy-six steam-powered warships, was the fundamental basis on which we were able to really stand up under the strong pressure of the British.

On land, groups of soldiers armed with semi-automatic rifles passed in neat formations, and the infantry detachments after the refitting were completed, adopting modern formations and equipment, and playing an extremely huge role in the process of blocking the British landing battles in previous groups.

Behind them, there was a towed artillery detachment. Although most of the traction power was animal power, the tractor-towed artillery that came to the last stage was already in the process of experimentation and will soon be put into service.

These guns were all modified models with rapid-fire aircraft, and they also played a huge role in the independence war.

Behind them was the celebratory procession.

The citizens who had organized themselves in flowery costumes, holding the Star-Spangled Banner in their hands, and shouting the slogan "Long Live Freedom", marched in a procession to greet me.

These citizens were happy from the bottom of their hearts, because before they came here, they were landless peasants in the countries of the European continent or other regions, and small craftsmen in the cities were on the verge of bankruptcy, and they could become slaves at any time.

When I came here, I promised them that if they worked hard, they would get land, they would get the status of a free people, and they would get a future and hope!

Standing on the viewing platform of the Hexagon, my heart sighed infinitely.

I have been in this world for twenty years, and according to the age of this world, I am now Chinese New Year's Eve seven years old, and according to the life span of my previous life, I have passed the age of knowing the destiny of heaven.

In the past 20 years, I have struggled, struggled, discouraged, depressed, truly loved, regretted, drunk, and sober.

The biggest regret is that I was unable to help my true motherland, the Ming Dynasty, the last Han national empire in China, to establish a powerful naval force and lead them on the road to true prosperity and strength.

I tried, I tried my best, so I have a clear conscience. It's because people are sometimes poor, and these are not things that I can change alone.

Exhausted, exhausted, enough.

The greatest joy is that he has established his fantasy kingdom, of course, this is actually due to current events, and countless accidents eventually led to the ending.

Here, at least I have one more reason to fight for my life – even if it's for freedom, it's worth fighting for all my life!

The greatest happiness is that I have three people who know and love each other, as well as the eldest daughter Tingyuan, the eldest son Peisi, the second son Huaqing, and the third son Huasheng.

The biological mother of the latter two sons is Hua Mei, and now she is only 100 days old. These two names are said to have been left by the old father-in-law, and I agreed to Huamei's request, so I named them according to this, which can be regarded as sending deep sorrow to the old father-in-law and the old mother-in-law.

The kite never conceived a child until two months ago, and now she is not pregnant, but she still makes me happy. I don't know if it's a young man or a little girl, but whatever it is, I like it!

My friends have also found their lives here, and the nine ghosts also have two children, a son and a daughter, and they can't stop smiling every day.

The stuffy pot of ink also has a spring, and he married a white girl, Sophia, which surprised us, who would have thought that the most silent person would make the most avant-garde choice.

From the very beginning, I have had my own home with my sand and dreams. Sand later broke away from the duties of the guard, and became the commander of the internal army, and the limelight was also very strong. Suzu stayed in Toei, and was given a fief of one million stones, becoming a lord around Osaka.

Speaking of which, I have to insert that Toyosei Hideyoshi died suddenly at the end of last year, and I lived up to his entrustment and escorted his son for a ride - Tokugawa Ieyasu really started like history, and Toei once again formed a pattern of separation between east and west.

I fought against the British in North America with all my might, and I had no time to separate, but I sent the Nine Demons to fulfill my promise - the Nine Demons Masataka, who had done my job well, and Tokugawa Ieyasu was assassinated at home, not dead, but seriously wounded and dying.

After all, this kind of sniper with more than eight hundred paces is invincible, and it is still two shots.

Ishida Mitsunari, who represented the Toyotomi family, seized the opportunity to defeat the Tokugawa family's coalition forces in one fell swoop, captured Tokugawa Ieyasu, who surrendered, and exiled his father and son to the vicinity of Kagoshima, leaving them alone.

As Toyosei Hideyori grew older, he established the Toyosei Shogunate with the assistance of Ishida Mitsunari and replaced the historical Tokugawa Shogunate as the ruler of Toei.

The neighboring Ming Dynasty was caught in deeper internal and external troubles, especially at sea, and was once again harassed by countries on the sea.

At the critical moment, Zheng Shibiao returned to the motherland with his fleet and became an important force in resisting foreign intrusion at sea. He also wrote that he had a son named Zheng Zhilong.

I'm very pleased. Although people are gone, my heart remains on that hot land and has never left. Although I knew that these were not enough to help the Ming Dynasty continue its life, I could only say that I had no choice but to let the flowers fall, and I tried my best.

Youxi is living a good life and has become a key member of the cabinet of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and is said to be running for prime minister. She and her wise husband joined forces, and with the help of Lakshin, they did manage the dreadnought fleet very well, and it has become a formidable force on the European continent.

Aunt Sonia and her fellow Blackbeard pirate husband are doing a good job, building a powerful ocean-going trade fleet that travels between North America and Europe.

Gerhardt Adikin became commander-in-chief of the Navy of the United States of America, and now he is very busy, and of course I sent Mavi to help him, and I finally managed to cope with it.

I don't regret bringing Qinglian and Yuhe to New York before the National Day to celebrate the anniversary with me! He is now also the father of three children, Old Man Ye is dying, there are no regrets, Uncle Ye inherited the family business, and the Ye family ushered in a revival.

Uncle-in-law Yan Lei and Yan Zhu also came together, Yan Zhu has not married until today, this can make the uncle-in-law anxious enough. I told my uncle-in-law that they might as well stay in New York, and I will take care of Yanzhu's marriage, so I must find her a wishful husband!

The family was very happy, and watching everyone be lively, I couldn't help but think of the scene when I first met these relatives, and my heart was full of emotion.

Life is really like the vicissitudes of life, how many people and things are scattered, and how many people and how many things will accompany you for a lifetime!

Charlie and Halleha's career grew bigger and bigger, and the institute-like scientific research method could no longer meet their requirements, so with my support, the two established a company in New York, General Motors, specializing in general machinery, which was also very popular.

Rodriguez and Cristina had some trouble in Africa, mainly because the British refused to admit defeat and wanted to attack African territory against the water.

As a result, we dispatched the elite and attacked the British fleet, and after the third war, the British were convinced to be killed and voluntarily withdrew from the African market.

Old friend Woodin and his female pirate lover Azisha eventually became lovers, and all this happened after he became the chief elder of Basra Castle, and it wasn't too difficult to get a new identity for Azisha.

Everyone else is considered to be fine, so I won't describe them one by one.

Manhattan has gradually become a trading center for the whole of North America, and with the introduction of the trust business, I am ready to make it a financial center where every inch of land is valuable.

I don't know what it will look like in the future, but I'm trying to do it well, and I believe it won't be too bad.

After the parade, there was another important task - my old friend Henry sent an ocean-going fleet to bring me a gift to celebrate the first anniversary of the founding of the United States of America.

This gift was given by me as it was historically and standing tall near the Hudson River estuary on Liberty Island in New York Harbor.

Yes, the Statue of Liberty that has been handed down to future generations! The bronze statues are tall and straight, and there is a passage leading to the torches of the idols.

This one makes so much sense that I have to go and unveil it myself!

After riding on a huge sea boat, slowly approaching the Statue of Liberty draped in a red curtain, and jumping on the pedestal in excitement, I slowly stepped onto the passage to the top under the guidance of people.

Step by step, step by step, I gradually walked to the top of the statue, standing at the window of the statue torch, raising my eyes into the distance, looking at the earth under my feet affectionately!

The Nine Ghosts handed over a rope, which I knew was the node that covered the entire Statue of Liberty with red cloth.

Taking a deep breath, I tugged on the rope and "whew"! A huge curtain slides down from above the statue, and the Statue of Liberty, holding torches and a declaration of freedom, is finally visible in its entirety!

"Long live freedom! Long live freedom! God bless America! The crowd below shouted like a tsunami, and I couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in my heart.

I hope all this happened in my motherland, that magical Chinese hot land, but it's a pity! Lamentable! What a pity!

At this moment, suddenly I heard a soft "clanging" in my ears, and when I looked down, I saw a small object falling from the position of the rope above, right at my feet.

I bent down and gently picked up the little thing, and my pupils couldn't help but shrink sharply when I looked closely, and my heart was extremely shocked!

This! Wasn't this small stone that emitted a blue glow the last of the seven divine stones left?

Involuntarily, the stone pendant on my chest slowly resonated with it, and the two hovered in the air, getting closer and closer!

In the end, the two sides merged into one in a burst of bright light! The space around me has been distorted more violently than ever!

The quaint gate appeared again, and the seven divine stones of white, yellow, red, blue, purple and black reflected each other, reflecting the entire gate like a heavenly gate from the fairy world, slowly rising in front of my eyes!

"Boom!" In my stunned eyes, two metal doors slowly opened to the sides! Out of it came a figure that was both familiar and unfamiliar!

"Father!" I shouted, "Is that you?" ”

"It's me! Child! "The man walked up two meters in front of me and stopped.

None other than my father! Sun Zheheng!

His body shone with seven-colored light, and it could be seen that he should now exist in the form of an energy body.

"Qilan, I really want to hug you, just like you did when you were a child." Father suddenly sighed.

When I heard this, I suddenly remembered that when I fled with my father, he had been holding me and carrying me on his back, and my eyes couldn't help but moisten.

"Father! You...... What's wrong with you? I asked, choking up.

The father sighed slightly: "I encountered some unavoidable things before, so as you can see, I now exist in the form of an energy body. The world you are experiencing is the parallel dimension that I have transformed into when you were dying through energy transformation. ”

Call! I see. I sighed, "This must not be easy! I mean, help me live from the dead! ”

My father was silent for a moment, but suddenly smiled: "It's not important, if you survive, it's my greatest happiness!" ”

I thought in silence, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, and I exclaimed in surprise: "Father! You...... You didn't become the way you are for me, did you? ”

The father was silent again, and only after a long time did he say: "Qilan, we can meet because you have passed the test of this world, and now you have a chance to make a choice—you can choose to go back with me, find your mother with me, and clear the grievances of the past." Of course ......"

The father paused before saying, "You can also choose to stay, after all, there are your wives and children here, and there is a career that you have worked hard for half your life." But from now on, I'm afraid that our father and son will only be separated forever, and it will be difficult to see each other again! In the same way, if you go back with me, the world will be closed to you forever! ”

I couldn't help but be stunned on the spot! This...... Isn't such a choice too cruel!

I have been working hard in this world for half a lifetime, in order to find a way back, to find the truth of what happened to my parents, and to find the real murderer who murdered me!

Now the way has been found, but do I have to give up everything in front of me to explore the past? Do you want me to give up the people I love, the people who love me, the children who trust me and help me?

Speaking of this, my father turned his head slightly, seemed to gently wipe his tears, sighed, turned his head, looked at me again and said, "But child, as a father, my greatest wish is that you can be happy!" I don't want you to sacrifice yourself for me, I just want you to be happy, I want you to be happy, I want you to be happy! Nothing else matters, you know? ”

As he spoke, he slowly stretched out his hand, and the void patted me on the shoulder: "The final choice is entirely yours!" Whatever you choose, I'll be very pleased, very pleased! ”

Standing in place, I just felt cold all over my body, and I couldn't breathe well!

Moving forward is the past; Backwards, is the future. Should I pursue a true image, or should I pursue my own happiness?

Standing in front of the door, I stood on the spot for a long time for this undecidable choice.
