After spending three days of leisure in the country house of US President Lincoln Jr., Chen Tian and his entourage left the United States on a special plane. After more than four hours of flight, Germany's "Air Force One" slowly landed on the air force airfield in Ottawa.

Five years ago, the Battle of Ottawa was small but tragic, with 180,000 Canadians, including 110,000 regular soldiers and more than 70,000 militiamen, fearless in the face of 220,000 German expeditionary forces with absolute air supremacy and powerful armored forces. The battle lasted two weeks, tens of thousands of Canadians were killed, and three of the main German infantry divisions and one lightly armored division were forced to retreat home for repairs due to heavy losses.

After the Battle of Ottawa, the situation in Canada can be said to be the overall situation, with the arrival of summer, the German expeditionary force quickly swept away the resistance in Canada, the black, white and red tricolor flag fluttered high in every corner of this vast land, and the Canadian Dominion of the British Commonwealth became the Dominion of the German Empire.

Although still nominally a self-governing state, the Canadians lost a considerable part of their power as they changed their suzerainty. At this time, the Canadian government was only responsible for domestic and economic affairs, and foreign affairs and military affairs were entirely in the hands of Germany, and in all public places, the German flag always occupied the historical origin of maple - floating astronomy. They all spoke German, and the policy of the German Imperial government was that all German states were equal, so Franz, like most Austrians, lived happily in the German family, and he and his design team were more than happy to contribute to Germany, and this Ottawa New Town was one of their most successful works. In doing so, the German government is announcing to the world that we have destroyed an old Ottawa, but we have built a new, more beautiful Ottawa; We took Canada, but we will make Canada a better place.

"Yes, Your Excellency the Governor. I heard that there was some security in Ottawa last month, and thousands of residents organized their own protest marches, is that true? ”

Chen Tian asked seemingly casually.

"Back to Your Majesty, there is indeed such a thing!" Governor Alec hurriedly replied, "Here's how it ......"

Chen Tian interrupted the other party's statement with a wave of his hand, "Your Excellency the Governor, your police have favored the Germans who were fighting with the locals in a tavern, and have also used force in the subsequent protests and demonstrations of the Canadians. For this situation, just tell me yes or no! ”

Alec was starting to get a little nervous. "Yes...... Your Majesty! That's it! ”

Chen Tian nodded, with the strength of the German intelligence department, it was just a piece of cake to understand this thing.

"Tell me, Your Excellency the Governor, did you personally give the order?"

Alec felt bad, but he nodded in acknowledgement.

"Well done!" Somewhat unexpectedly, Chen Tian not only did not get angry, but praised the poor governor.

"Your Majesty......" The Governor finally breathed a sigh of relief in his surprise.

"If necessary, let the ignorant understand who is the ruler of this place!" Chen Tian turned his head to look at the bald governor beside him who was taking a handkerchief from his pocket, "According to common sense, there is no one right or wrong in the fight in the tavern, the police are biased against the Germans, and they are also the weaker side in the fight, this is not a mistake of principle!" Canadians gather to demonstrate, it's their freedom, but they must understand that freedom often comes at a price! ”

"Your Majesty said yes! Your Majesty said yes! Governor Alec nodded repeatedly.

"In the past two years, Canada's industrial recovery momentum has been good, not only to solve the livelihood problems of many Canadians, increase government taxes, but also to attract a lot of skilled workers and labor from Germany, which is very helpful for us to maintain our rule over Canada, but also to pay attention to avoid friction with local residents, the government and the police can take proper care of German immigrants, and appropriate favoritism will also increase the sense of security and confidence of German businessmen to invest in Canada, but pay attention, They cannot be connived at in any way to sin! ”

"Yes, Yes, Your Majesty's teachings must be kept in mind!" The Governor gently wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and temples with a handkerchief, and in just a few minutes he realized what it means to be a fire and ice, and before the arrival of the Kaiser, who was known for his decisiveness and determination, he was worried about whether his work would satisfy him, although this was not a dull and cruel or moody monarch, but his Emperor's scepter was not lacking in blood and carnage, think of the events in Berlin before he ascended the throne. Considering the subsequent ruthless suppression of the rebellion of Wilhelm II's son and his henchmen, and the series of wars he had waged since his ascension to the throne, Alec, as a colonial governor of non-aristocratic origin, felt that his life was not much more important than a small ant in front of the emperor.

After that, Chen Tian quietly looked at the scenery outside the window, Alec didn't dare to take the initiative to speak, and after a long silence, Juliana, who was sitting on Chen Tian's left hand side and wearing a fur coat, spoke:

"Your Excellency the Governor, it's still cold in Ottawa! Isn't it still snowing further north? ”

"Yes, Her Highness!" Governor Alec replied respectfully. "There's basically only two seasons in a year in Canada. Winter and summer! It's still winter, and it's snowing almost everywhere, and there was a light snow in Ottawa the other day! It's a sunny day. So it's a little warmer, but the temperature drops below freezing at night! Therefore, please also ask His Majesty the Emperor and His Royal Highness the Empress to pay attention to keeping warm, and don't catch a cold! ”

"Thank you, Your Excellency, for the reminder! We'll pay attention! Juliana thanked each other politely for their relationship.

"I don't know if His Majesty the Emperor and His Royal Highness the Empress like skiing!" Relaxed, Alec shifted the conversation to everyday life.

Juliana replied casually, "We basically go skiing in Switzerland every year!" ”

Hearing this, Alec wasted no time in saying, "Oh, what a coincidence! Although it is cold in Canada, the natural conditions are still very good, and there are many natural ski resorts! We have a large resort in the mountains north of Ottawa, and the ski resort part of it has been completed! I've been there twice in the next day, tsk. There is really nothing to say about the conditions there! ”

"Better than the ski slopes in Switzerland?" Juliana glanced at Chentian happily.

"The day after tomorrow happens to be nothing important!" Chen Tian knew what Juliana meant, so he turned to Governor Alec: "Then ask Your Excellency the Governor to arrange a ski resort for us!" ”

"It's an honor!"

Not only was he not punished, but he was able to photograph the emperor's ass, and Governor Alec's joy was beyond words.

"Please rest assured that although the main building there has not yet been completed, the surrounding private villas have completed the final decoration. I was fortunate enough to buy a property there, and if His Majesty the Emperor and His Royal Highness the Empress did not dislike it, I would arrange it together! ”

"It's good! I had long heard that His Excellency the Governor had purchased a villa in this beautiful place, and had taken a stake in the ski resort for the upper nobility. It seems that His Excellency the Governor not only has outstanding political achievements, but also has a set of investments! Chentian's tone was not necessarily deep, but the words that followed made Alec chuckle in his heart.

"Your Majesty, my ancestors have been dealing in leather for many years, and they have a small family business, and they have also received an inheritance from their fathers! I had no intention of joining the business world like my ancestors, but I didn't dare to squander the wealth left by my ancestors, so I found an industry in Canada! I hope Your Majesty will see it! ”

Chen Tian waved his hand, "Your Excellency the Governor don't have to worry, there is an old saying in the East, those who are clear are self-purifying, and those who are turbid are self-turbid!" Whether everyone is conscientious or corrupt and perverts the law, even if I don't say it, the Imperial Supervision Department will have a public opinion! For example, your private purchase of property and shareholding in commercial projects is beyond reproach as long as it is reasonable, but it is absolutely forbidden to abuse power for personal gain and engage in fraud! I also hope that His Excellency the Governor will preach this to the Imperial officials in Canada! ”

Alec naturally knew the true meaning of these words, and he replied hurriedly: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

Just when the Chentian couple was enjoying the scenery of the northern country, on the other side of the world, on the Russian land where the winter was not over, the two camps that continued to confront each other were already ready to move after a winter of cultivation. On the side of Soviet Russia, the plan to annihilate the people of Russia and unify Russia can be said to be a household name and known to everyone, the regular units of the Red Army6 continued to enter a state of imminent war, and the militia organizations were also actively cooperating with the army's actions. Democratic Russia, on the other hand, took advantage of the winter of the past to conclude an alliance with the Valadimi regime in the Far East to temporarily relieve itself of its own restraints, and then transferred a large number of troops stationed in central and eastern Russia to the front, and the clouds of civil war loomed over the barren land again as spring approached in Russia. For many Russians, it was not important which side would win in the end, they only hoped that the war would end as soon as possible so that Russia could re-emerge in a unified state.

However, some foreign powers, such as Germany, do not want to see Russia become strong again, and as in the past, they continue to provide loans and even free funds and material aid to both sides of the confrontation, but this assistance is not equal, when Soviet Russia is at a disadvantage, there will be more supplies and equipment sent to Soviet Russia from Central Europe, and correspondingly, when Democratic Russia is at a disadvantage, more materials will be transported into Democratic Russia from the direction of the Black Sea and West Asia. Although the two sides have not yet started a war this time, military observers from various countries have already turned to the side of Soviet Russia. They believed that the Russians, although not as large as the Democratic Russia, had 1.5 times the population of their opponents, and had inherited most of the heavy industries of the old Tsarist Russia, and most importantly, that their Red Army had accumulated enough experience through constant fighting, and that with a winter of training, the combat effectiveness and cohesion of this army had clearly surpassed that of the Democratic Russian army, which had inherited a series of vices of the Tsarist army.

In order to balance this difference, groups of "mercenaries" began to enter Democratic Russia through various means, and some of them may have been fighting in the Soviet Russian camp last year, but this time they have to turn their guns on their former friends without hesitation.
