Chapter 131: This Day

New Year's Day in '48 was a difficult day for Europe. The cold winter plunged the whole of Europe into an abyss of misery, and no one could see a bright future but sink in reality.

Since autumn, there have been at least 10,000 more girls from Germany in Switzerland, and in order to survive, in order to reduce the burden on their families, young girls do not skimp on their bodies, while many elderly people choose to self-destruct.

In 47 years, the global economy mainly relied on the Americas, and Argentina in South America once became the richest country in the world. Myanmar, which later became the most backward country in Asia, is still the country with the highest per capita income in Asia.

This year, many countries that have never appeared in history before appeared on the stage of history for the first time.

Israel, India, East and West Pakistan, South China.

On January 1, 48 years, South China, as an independent country, appeared on the stage of history for the first time.

At the same time, the Republic of Maluku, the Republic of Timor, the Republic of Aceh, and the Republic of Guinea will all appear on the world stage with a new look.

Zhou Nan has changed history, and in another life, the Dutch are now stubbornly maintaining the stubbornness of imperialism in a vain attempt to hold on to their interests in Asia.

But in this life, they have conditionally backed down, giving the East Indies more freedom.

Persistence means cracking, but retreating opens the sky.

In another life, the Dutch won the war, and they held out until 49 years. In the end, under the pressure of the United States, it withdrew from Asia, and even lost its rights and interests in other regions.

But in this life, their concessions have given them more room to maneuver, and these countries that are now going to be established still recognize their rights and interests.

In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the Chinese wanted to fight for national independence in the East Indies, and they were suppressed.

But now, the Netherlands supports the Chinese to establish their own state.

This is not because of the Dutch conscience, but because of the situation.

They don't know that it is precisely because of their concessions that they have maintained more interests and rights.

Borneo, Natuna, Bangka Belitung and even Palembang. These areas, which were dominated by Chinese forces in the past, finally have their own sovereignty, and here they have a new name - Nanhua.

January 1 of '48 is a day to celebrate for all Chinese, and after hundreds of years of oppression, the Chinese here are finally able to make decisions for themselves.

The celebrations here have been going on for a long time, as early as half a month ago, the celebrations here have begun.

But this day still makes all Chinese people worth celebrating and remembering.

The night before, Zhou Nan had been talking with many academic masters almost all night, and only slept briefly before dawn.

But no one can sleep, including Zhou Nan, excitement, excitement has long been filled with all emotions, the sky is just dawn, when the radio sounds, everyone wakes up for the first time.

Zhou Nan almost didn't fall asleep, even if his eyes were closed, he still thought about today's grand occasion in his mind. When he heard the radio go on, he couldn't sleep anymore.

Sitting cross-legged on the somewhat cold floor for half an hour, Zhou Nan felt that he was full of strength.

At the well of the barracks, he took a cold shower and returned to his room wet.

Audrey took a dry towel to help him wipe his hair and body, while Zhou Nan sat in front of the mirror as if he was demented, looking at himself in the mirror.

It has been five years since I got the memory of the future, the future has become the present, and history has changed.

I have changed a lot, and all of this is in line with Zhou Nan's ideas and the interests of the Chinese.

At least in Zhou Nan's opinion, it is like this.

Southeast Asia has an additional Chinese-controlled country with a land area of nearly 600,000 square kilometers, more than 10 million citizens, and an army of 50,000 people.

The Chinese here will no longer be like lambs to the slaughter, sacrificed under the butcher's knife.

He has changed history.

If you are poor, you will be good alone, and if you are good, you will help the world.

He did it.

Even if he was allowed to die now, he would not have the slightest regret.

The quality of life is never determined by length.

Audrey carefully combed Zhou Nan's hair with a comb, Zhou Nan never smeared hair wax on his head in the past, but today he specially asked Audrey to help him apply hair wax, neatly parting his hair one by one, and then draping it to the back of his head.

The face that used to be a little soft, because the forehead is exposed, looks a little angular. Audrey couldn't help but kiss him on the cheek. "Honey, every girl will fall for you."

"No, with your love, I'm enough."

The love between men and women is just a dispensable condiment for Zhou Nan. When he stirred up the world in the tide of history, no woman could bring him such a strong sense of satisfaction as changing history.

Bonita helped Audrey bring the Hanfu that had been prepared a long time ago, and Caroline's mother also brought a jewelry box, which contained the jade pendant that Zhou Nan picked out from the antique.

Different from the crown clothes worn in the UK, this time the crown clothes are red as the main color, black as the color, only cicada clothes, no middle clothes, dark clothes.

This is because Nanhua is in the tropics, and wearing too thick is just a burden. However, this set of Hanfu still maintains a solemn and elegant style.

Audrey helped Zhou Nan get dressed, and then tied two jade pendants around her waist and pressed the placket.

After Zhou Nan got dressed, Audrey put on her Hanfu. Her set of Hanfu is a Han Dynasty skirt, with light green as the main color, with dividends and light yellow, which is in stark contrast to Zhou Nan's Hanfu.

Not only them, but even Kelly, Glewin, Yannick and Caroline also wore a set of Hanfu. Although such clothes are a little out of place on their bodies, and even a little funny, they are very happy one by one.

Leon, who was growing his body, looked a little thin, and he waved his wide sleeves and smiled, "I don't need to bring a fan this time." ”

Melissa, who was also wearing a loose skirt, smiled, "Come and fan me." ”

Seeing them amused there, Zhou Nan couldn't help but laugh.

By the time Kelly squirmed out, everyone couldn't help but laugh. The flowing skirt was worn on her body, and it was about to turn into a straitjacket.

However, because it was custom-made, the loose skirt also covered her fat. Although he is a little bigger, he looks ...... Well, Zhou Nan didn't want her to help with the publicity.

But she herself is very happy, the silk as the main material of the hanfu is easy and elegant, not only will it not be stuffy after wearing, but it is cooler than ordinary clothes.

This is better than anything else for her, who likes cold and is afraid of heat.

The whole family came to the barracks cafeteria together, and the soldiers who were not on duty were dumbfounded when they saw their dress.

A bold soldier ran over and asked, "Mr. Zhou, is this our national costume?" Isn't our national costume a robe and a horse coat? ”

"The robe and horse coat are just a change of Manchu clothing, and our national costume is the Hanfu that we wear now."

"It's so beautiful, I'm going to buy a set in the future, it's time to wear it when I get married."

Zhou Nan said with a smile: "There will be ready-to-wear sales soon, although the price is more expensive than ordinary clothing, but as a Chinese, everyone should have a set of Chinese clothes." ”

Zhou Nan said this not for the sake of promoting the Chinese costumes launched by Heben, but for real feelings. If a nation has forgotten even its own traditions, then what is there to remember!

The breakfast in the barracks was very rich, but Zhou Nan didn't dare to eat more, not even rice porridge, but just ate two steamed buns.

There are so many things going on today, he doesn't want to show up, but he only thinks about finding a toilet.

Everyone else thinks the same way as him, except for a child like Lily, who is not yet sensible.

Lily is almost three years old and looks smart and cute. Today, she wore a set of bright yellow skirts, which was very stinky. However, the bright yellow skirt with her golden hair and white skin is really cute.

At half past eight, Zhou Nan and the others got into a military truck with a cloak, left the military camp in Hexinzhou, and came to the city.

Here in the city, every street is full of people singing and dancing, except for one passing lane, which is almost impassable.

Loudspeakers set up in every street, radio stations have been reporting on the celebrations everywhere. In addition to Pontianak, in Palembang, in Mazen, in Yamaguchiyang and other cities, there are also countless celebratory crowds waiting.

Not only Nanhua, but today's radio is for the whole world, as long as you can listen to the shortwave of Nanhua Radio, you can hear the news of Nanhua independence.

The car came to the People's Park in the center of the city, which is also the main venue for today's founding ceremony.

The venue has been completely cordoned off by soldiers, and even in the river on the other side of the park, there are soldiers' patrol boats.

Everyone who enters the venue is checked, and ten magnet doors are set up to prevent any surprises.

Zhou Nan's car stopped at the entrance, and Zhou Nan's appearance aroused the warm welcome of the onlookers, and the teams of dragon and lion dances were dancing passionately.

The Hanfu worn by their group also attracted everyone's attention, and those media reporters didn't care about the film at all, and pressed the shutter on each of them.

Leon playfully used the camera around his neck to shoot them, and was blamed by Caroline's mother for wasting film, so he was able to settle down.

There were a lot of people outside, and there were also a lot of people inside the venue, with the national flag of South China everywhere, and a few Dutch national flags.

The area of this park is not small, and this lawn alone has tens of thousands of square meters. The lawn was already full of people.

At the end of the lawn, a ten-meter-high platform was erected, which is also today's rostrum.

The independence of South China will be announced to the world here.
