Northwest of country A, Polaris City, L state.

This is the closest state to the Arctic Circle in country A, which originally belonged to the sphere of influence of country R. More than 200 years ago, the short-sighted emperor of country R sold this bitter cold land, which at the time seemed useless, to country A for an incredibly low price that now seems incredibly low, and since then, the flag of country A has been flying on this land for more than two centuries.

However, no one expected that more than two centuries later, the flag of country R would be raised here.

During the period before and after the fall of the Eastern Continent, millions of people from R fled to the Western Continent through various means, and most of them came here. Because of the fall of the motherland, these people of country R have become homeless refugees, and they can only run to this bitter cold place overseas to stay warm. Polaris City in L has become the largest refugee camp in Nation R, a small city with a population of less than 100,000 that is now home to more than 200,000 Nation R and continues to grow.

The common experience made these fleeing people seem unusually united, they helped each other, used all the resources at their disposal, and soon built a simple temporary home. The flag of country R is raised every day in the area where the people of country R live, and the priest leads everyone in prayer on time, and everything in the area is managed according to the habits of the people of country R, and it is like a country within a country.

However, for everything that happened here, the people of country A turned a blind eye and did not interfere at all. At this juncture of danger for all mankind, these have become minor issues that do not deserve attention, and the actions of these people of R country are not incomprehensible.

The government of country A has even allocated large quantities of food and relief supplies to help these refugees in country R through the most difficult times.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, Senior General Shaposhnikov, the former defense minister of the country R, changed into a set of civilian clothes and quietly took his guards to the ice and snow square in Polaris City.

After the surrender of the government of country R, a small number of high-ranking officials fled and went to the Western continent to form a government-in-exile, the leader of which Shaposhnikov was the leader.

There was already a long queue in the square, where countless families of refugees waited anxiously. The alms in the square will give them some food and daily necessities so that they will not freeze and starve to death in this land of ice and snow. However, as the number of refugees increases, and the shortage of food and daily necessities increases, the so-called government-in-exile is not only unable to fulfill its great mission of recovering the R country, but even has a big problem surviving.

Today, when the procession for relief was about two-thirds of the way out, there was a sudden commotion.

The reason is simple, the food at the relief station has been distributed.

The refugees, who had not received food, stood in the square in twos and threes, refusing to disperse. Their faces were burned and depressed, and with no food, it was hard to imagine how they would survive the long night in the bitterly cold state of L.

Shaposhnikov saw a mother in the corner of the square holding her child crying silently, their faces pale and their clothes old and thin. The mother's eyes were swollen from crying, and the child kept staring at the bread in the hands of others, quietly swallowing saliva.

Those who were lucky enough to receive food left in a hurry, and no one seemed to notice the poor and helpless mother and son. Shaposhnikov couldn't stand it, but he touched his pocket, which was also empty, and there was not even a small biscuit to satisfy his hunger, so he had to ask the guard next to him: "Stepan, do you have anything to eat?" ”

"Nope." The guard shook his head.

Food is now strictly limited for all refugees in country R, including those who work as errands in the government-in-exile, and who will have extra rations to distribute to others.

Shaposhnikov's face became very ugly. He wanted to comfort the poor mother and son, but he also knew that nothing could help them more than a piece of bread at this moment. Just when he was in a dilemma, he suddenly heard a heavy engine sound, and several trucks slowly drove into the square from the entrance of the street.

The truck stopped in the middle of the square, and a young and handsome young man stood on the roof of the car and shouted to the people in the square who had not yet left: "Dear compatriots, do you have enough food to eat?" If that's not enough, come here and pick it up! ”

When the frustrated and anxious crowd heard the news, they immediately swarmed up and surrounded the trucks. Shaposhnikov also followed curiously, and when he saw the young man's appearance clearly, he could not help but be surprised in his heart.

"Rasputin? What is this kid doing here? ”

Rasputin led a group of staff members and distributed bags of bread, pies and baked potatoes to refugees in the square. Even the mother and son, who were helpless for Shaposhnikov, received two large bags of food, and the child's face was full of happy smiles, and the mother was so excited that she couldn't cry: "Thank you so much! What is your name, young man? ”

Rasputin smiled and said, "Madam, my name is Gregory. Rasputin is the personal assistant to the president of the Romanov Group, Miss Natalia. These things were purchased by Miss Natalia personally and given to everyone! ”

"Oh! God, Miss Natalia, she's such a good person! The mother put her hand to her chest and said, "Where is she now?" I want to say thank you to her face! ”

Rasputin smiled and raised his chin and said, "Madam, she's right next to you!" ”

When the mother looked back, she saw that beside her stood a plainly dressed and unremarkably young girl.

"Oh my God! You are Miss Natasha of the Romanovs! The mother exclaimed, "I'm sorry, I ...... I never even noticed you were here! It's right next to me! ”

Natalia smiled and picked up her child, kissed him on the little cheek, and said with a smile: "Madam, you don't have to care about me, let alone thank me!" I just want to quietly do something for everyone! ”

"Miss Natasha, your heart is as pure and kind as ice and snow! May God bless you always! The mother was grateful.

Natalia, with the help of Rasputin, climbed onto the roof of the car and shouted to the crowd at her feet: "Dear compatriots of country R, hello, I am Natalia from the Romanov family!" I know that at this time, everyone is silently bearing the great pain of the fall of the motherland in their hearts, just like me! Yes, we are in the most difficult situation, and the road ahead looks dark, but the more times like these, the more we must unite and continue to fight for the future of the Motherland! I believe that as long as all of us stick to the faith in our hearts, do not be intimidated by the darkness in front of us, and do not be overwhelmed by temporary adversity, we will definitely be able to achieve the final victory! Our great motherland will never sink and perish, it will certainly rise again and once again restore its former glory and glory! For the sake of this ideal and belief shared by all the people of the R people, I have made a decision that the Romanov family will donate all their property and devote themselves to the revival of the motherland! I hope that the motherland will be liberated from the enemy's iron hooves as soon as possible, and the final victory will surely belong to us! Long live the country of R! ”

She was already in tears when she said this, and her vocal cords were choked. The surrounding crowd was also moved by this scene, and for a while, the cheers of "Long live R country" and "Long live Natasha" resounded throughout the square.

"Shit, shameless stinking bitch!"

Shaposhnikov couldn't help but curse secretly in his heart. He couldn't believe that this was the same Natalia who unceremoniously refused to contribute Rasputin to the defense of the Motherland in the Romanov estate.

Now this guy has turned into the most staunch patriot and the savior of the people of country R.

Although he couldn't laugh or cry a little, Shaposhnikov stepped forward after a short hesitation, smiled and stretched out his hand to Natalia who got off the roof of the car and said, "Hello, Miss Natasha! ”

"Hello, Your Excellency General, I didn't expect you to be here!" Natalia shook his hand while wiping tears from her handkerchief, as if she was still immersed in the passionate speech she had just given. This made Shaposhnikov feel a little disgusted, and at the same time a little admired. He has been in contact with a lot of hypocritical politicians, but it is the first time he has encountered such a good acting as Natalia.

The eldest lady of the Romanov family, it is really wronged for her not to win an Oscar.

"Miss Natasha, what a wonderful speech you just made!" Shaposhnikov made a pun.

Although he knew that the eldest lady was acting, Shaposhnikov not only could not expose her, but also cooperated with her in acting. There is no way, in order to realize the plan of recovering the R country, he very much needs the support of the Romanov family's deep financial resources and public influence.

"General, you've won the prize!" Natalia said, "I just hope that everyone in R country can unite and contribute their own strength to the motherland!" I'm going to start with myself and hopefully lead by example! ”

"Thank you so much, Miss Natasha!" Shaposhnikov said, "You have set a good example for everyone, and the people of country R will remember you!" ”

"No, Your Excellency, General!" Natalia shook her head and said, "I just did what I had to do, and I didn't need to be thanked or remembered. Everything is for the country of R, for the sake of our great motherland, you know how much I love it, just like you! ”

"Of course, I can fully understand your sincerity!" Shaposhnikov said with a solemn expression.

The two men gave a warm hug in front of the public, and then tacitly walked side by side to the corner next to the square.

"Miss Natasha, is it true that you just said that you are willing to donate all your property and devote yourself to the revival of country R?" After leaving the crowd some distance, Shaposhnikov asked in a whisper.

"Of course, Your Excellency, General!" Natalia put away the sad expression just now and said with a smile, "How can a promise made in front of so many people be fake?" ”

"That's great!" Shaposhnikov said, "Thank you very much anyway!" ”

"Don't thank me, Your Excellency!" Natalia said, "Recovering and rebuilding the country of R is our common goal, let's work together to complete it!" ”

"Yes, Miss Natasha, we will definitely be able to accomplish this goal and get the country of R back on our feet!" Shaposhnikov said.

Natalia smiled slightly and asked, "Your Excellency General, do you have any next plan of action?" ”

"We will launch an all-out counteroffensive against the robot rebels." Shaposhnikov said, "Country A is ready and asks us to cooperate with country Z, maybe this will be a decisive battle to determine the future and destiny of mankind, we must go all out!" Miss Natasha, I don't think you're going to refuse to let Rasputin go to war again this time, are you? ”

Natalia said: "Of course, Your Excellency General! Everyone should contribute to this war, and Rasputin is certainly no exception! ”

Hearing this, Shaposhnikov couldn't help but sigh and said, "Miss Natasha, you are finally willing to endure the pain of parting your love!" If you had agreed to let him go to war when you were in M City, maybe our country wouldn't have fallen so quickly......"

Natalia smiled and said, "Your Excellency, I don't think so. The situation was so sinister, do you think Rasputin alone can turn the tide of the war? I just don't want him to make unnecessary sacrifices! ”

"Hmm......" Shaposhnikov was a little speechless for a moment.

Natalia's words are somewhat paradoxical, to resist aggression or even sacrifice her life on the battlefield for the sake of the country will not be a senseless sacrifice at any time. But he didn't want to contradict the other party, and at a time like this, there was no point in arguing with her about it.

In any case, it is not a bad thing that this agent of the Romanov family can promise to support the liberation of country R with all his might.
