That night, the small pyramid of Sun City was brilliantly lit and staggered, except for Wen Nan, Carl, and Jiang Zhuyi, all the people who followed Hong Tao from the Jinhe Empire to develop in North America were present, and they sat in a large area. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

In the first hour or so, Hong Tao left the Luo family father and son to celebrate the reunion, and by the way, he introduced Compassion and Weng Ya to everyone, and officially announced that their family had also joined the ranks of developing the New World. In fact, these two people don't need to be introduced, everyone knows each other, although they are the same generation as Luo Meimei, but they are about the same age as Bo Jiao, they followed Hong Tao earlier, and they belong to the veteran figures of the Jinhe Empire 100%, not the second generation of the Jinhe Empire, they should be regarded as a generation or a generation and a half.

Everyone should be really unfamiliar with Luo Mei, many people, especially craftsmen and sailors, do not know this young man, Luo Meimei is far less famous than his father in Jinhe City, and belongs to a relatively low-key kind of person. Hong Salamander doesn't need to be introduced, she has been riding on Hong Tao's neck since she was a child and running all over the city, and she followed her father to eat everywhere, and she couldn't keep a low profile.

"The purpose of bringing you here is not to recreate another Golden River Empire, nor to be dissatisfied with the Golden River Empire, so I pulled everyone to start anew, this must be kept in mind. There is nothing in the empire that is sorry for us, we have paid a lot for it, but this kind of payment is not for the sake of being able to seize all the rights in our own hands in the future, and be superior to others. We build empires only so that future generations can have a more comfortable and secure home. Now that we've done it, and the Empire has indeed given us something in return, what's there to complain about? ”

"Then some people may ask, since you are satisfied with the empire, why did you secretly run out and build your own country, isn't this a betrayal? For those who have such doubts, I will say it again. I and I are not betraying our own country, the country is just an organization that we big guys have formed together for a living, it is for each of us, not a burden for us. The relationship between us as individuals and the state is only a contractual relationship. ”

"The state gives us the protection we deserve, and we create wealth for the country. This contract is not a deed of sale, and can be terminated at any time as long as one party feels that it can be terminated. When I was lecturing at the nautical school, I told the students more than once that life is life when you feel life with your heart and choose life with your feet. Everyone has the right to choose their own way of life and place when conditions allow. Now I, along with all of you, have decided to start a new life here, and it has nothing to do with treason or not. ”

"The Golden River Empire is our former motherland, the Great Song Dynasty, Kalamba, Zhenla, Dayue, Japan, even Cape Town, Great Qin, Great Food, and many other countries that I haven't talked about, all of them may be your former motherland, and even I myself was not born to be a member of the Golden River Empire. A country is like a business, one can go out of business today, and a new one can be created tomorrow, and everyone in this world has the freedom to resign from one business and go to work for another. ”

"I have said so much nonsense with only one purpose, which is to put everyone in the right position from the heart and understand our current state. We are not here to create a nation, neither to oppose the Golden River Empire, nor to create overseas territories for the Golden River Empire. We are us, and we don't have any innate connection with other countries. ”

"But people have feelings, I think the Golden River Empire is my motherland, and I also hope that it will become rich and strong day by day, after all, I and you used to be its people, and many people still have relatives in the empire, including myself. But there must be a premise for this, that is, we must live our own lives well before we can worry about others, even relatives. Otherwise, worrying about it is also a blind worry, and it will not help and add to the chaos. ”

"Okay, speaking of which, I need everyone to make a statement, can you figure out this relationship. If someone says that I live for the Golden River Empire, or that I live to take revenge on the Empire, please raise your hand. The former I'll send him back to Cape Town, and the latter I'll send him back wherever he wants to go. Neither retribution nor revenge is needed in our Spring Alliance, we just live our own lives, build our own little kingdom, and have an alliance that can share everyone's worries, it is enough! When the family chat was over, Hong Tao stood up and stepped onto a wooden bed. This was the one where the rat slept in the past, and was moved down from the upper floor to serve as a seat, and now it has become his lectern. He wants to unify his thinking, unify his understanding, and by the way, draw cakes for everyone to fool people.

"I have no enmity with the empire, but I miss the empire well. If it weren't for the empire and His Majesty, my father and I might still be slave soldiers. But since I was a child, my father taught me that when I grow up, I must have my own army and my own territory. Later, His Majesty told me that people must do what they want to do if they live, otherwise they will be like pigs. I think Your Majesty and my father are right, they were right, and they are right now. If the empire is in trouble, I'll find a way to help, but if the empire wants to take away my kingdom and bully my people, then I'm sorry, I don't care about others, anyway, I won't agree. ”

Swann is extremely happy today, Compassion is also half of his teacher and fox friend, although he is not very familiar with Luo Mei, but Luo Youde is about to become his godfather, and Luo Meimei is naturally not an outsider. In addition, Weng Ya, who is more manly than a man, and Hong Salamander, who is like a tomboy, all lose their temper with him. There are friends from afar, and it is very happy, and it is inevitable to have a few more drinks. After listening to Hong Tao's words, he understood and agreed 100%, according to his temper, he naturally had to be the first to stand up and express his position on what he agreed.

"General Swan, what if there is your father's army in the army sent by the Empire?" If you don't say that there are bad people everywhere, they can find fault with whatever you say. Instead of applause, Swan's speech was met with a difficult question and an attempt to see his jokes.

"Who said that! Don't hide, stand up, I'll kill you! Swan's mouth wasn't too stupid, but he always liked to use another organ.

"I'll help Swann answer it, in fact, this question should be asked to me, what should I do if my son comes with the Imperial army to seize our territory." Hong Tao threw out a fruit core and smashed it into Swan's head accurately, stopping him from trying to do it. Rather than having Swann answer this two-pronged question, it would be better to answer it for him himself, and at the same time to clarify his other point of view.

"First of all, our father and son will talk, and I will have to ask him if he has to come, if they don't take this place, they won't survive. Then he would ask me if I had to resist to the end, and if I couldn't survive if I surrendered to the Empire. If our father and son's answer is yes, then don't say anything and let's fight. This is not a war between father and son, this is a national war. ”

"For ordinary people, this is a tragedy, a cannibalism between father and son. But for the kings of the two countries, it doesn't matter who the other party is, what matters is the country. My son is the Emperor of the Empire, and his job is to make the Empire stronger and stronger; I am the king of the kingdom of Mexica, and a member of the Spring Alliance, and my job is to build my country and fulfill the covenants of the kingdom and the alliance. ”

"Standing in our position, we can't think too much about personal feelings, because we carry the fate of thousands of people on our backs. There has been a saying since ancient times, the most ruthless emperor's family. This sentence is not wrong at all, because the nature of the emperor's work determines that he cannot put his personal feelings above the state. If I betray my own country because the invader is my son, am I incompetent as a king? If my son betrayed the empire because I was his father, would the Imperial Council spare him? ”

But then again, why wait for a cannibalistic situation to happen? This situation can be avoided in advance. How to avoid it is actually very simple, and that is to improve our own capabilities. When the strength of the Spring Alliance and the Golden River Empire is equal, will the Empire still easily gnaw on this hard bone? I don't think so, because national expansion has to be costed. My son can't stop beating me just because I'm his father, and in the same way, my son can't just beat me because I'm his father. ”

"Even if he wanted to, the Imperial Council wouldn't agree, which is why I had to come up with this set of rules in the first place. Don't pin the fate of an entire country on one person or a small group of people, because this is dangerous to yourself and the country, and it is equally dangerous to other countries. When the countries around you see your country as a potential danger, you're in a tough position. Okay, who else has a problem, now hurry up and mention it, after this village there will be no such shop, even if you want to mention it, you may not be able to find me, I will definitely be very busy these days. These words are not only an explanation, but also a piece of advice, many of you here have not yet been emperors and kings, and their understanding of this special job is certainly not as good as their own, and it is best to take a preventive shot in advance before they are about to become kings.

"What Your Majesty said is reasonable, but everything here is the sea, and it is not easy to come by, so there shouldn't be so many wars." This time it was Qi Zu who spoke out, he was a person who specialized in the development of muskets and artillery, and he was actually a pacifist, and his understanding of war was still in the stage where people did not offend me and I did not offend others.

"Hey, do you see, my Uncle Qi is a typical example! This is not a single thought, but a mainstream view. I'm afraid there are many people here who have this kind of thought. At this time, a man named the ancients would come out and say that if you are warlike, you will die, and if you forget to fight, you will be in danger...... That's probably what it means, right? Who knows the original text of this sentence, I don't remember clearly. ”

Today, the people are the most united, and they have returned victoriously, everyone's morale is very high, Hong Tao plans to take this good opportunity to explain some things to everyone, which can be regarded as his own advice to these people and predictions for the future.
