280 Our nation
On October 3, 854, after three days of fighting with the Elena Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army, the Alonte Imperial army withdrew from the territory of Ambor Province. At the same time, Emperor Alonte ordered the general who launched the attack without authorization, the Iron Blade Gukohain Foster, to be dismissed from his post on the spot and sent to a military prison, and sent Foreign Minister Harvey Sarandon to Ailena's door to apologize, along with an apology of 500,000 goddess coins. Binpo Bobrev, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of Ankenrein, received Harvey Sarandon and accepted an apology on behalf of Chairman Gastens, thus ending the two-month war of unification of Ankenrein and Serf Gastens Warren, who had finally led a people like him, to establish a proletarian state.
Anken Rein People's Communist Republic.

Pushing open the door inlaid with countless gems and twelve gigantic pyroxene spirits, and walking onto the balcony of the Grand Palace facing the Place of Glory, Gastens had a somewhat nostalgic expression. More than two hundred years ago, he had come here to talk to Gabriel Bennett, the Grand Magister of the Sanction Mage Tower. At that time, the pious citizens gathered in the Place of Glory and watched two figures from the top of the world chatting in front of them. Although the people could not hear what they were saying, the cheers never stopped. At the time, it was unquestionably polite to pay homage to the most powerful power in the world. It is the worship of power itself.
"Garth-Tens!"
"Garth-Tens!"
Wave after wave of sound came from below, blurring the line between memory and reality. Gastens was stunned for a moment before realizing the time and place he was in. He turned his head sideways, looked at Ivan, who was a little awkward because he was wearing a formal suit, and spoke softly.
"This cheer is much louder than last time."
"That is, this is the rebirth of all our proletariat, and it is natural that you will show your support with all your might, your support for us, your support for this proletarian country! Chief, you are one of the greatest leaders in the world! β
Ivan is not good at complimenting others, so, even if it is from the bottom of his heart, he does not have many flowery words. However, Gastens didn't mind this, and he stepped forward, close to the little megaphone.
Small as it may say, this exquisite artificiality winds its way down from a balcony nearly thirty meters high, gradually expands, and finally curls and unfolds on both sides of the square, like two sinuous flowers made of steel. Gastens knew about the massive megaphone, known as the Sound of Radiance, which was built without the use of any magical powers, and was entirely artificial. It is said that the original blacksmiths broke tens of thousands of iron plates in order to create a shape that could amplify sound as efficiently as possible. Gastens from the modern scientific society knows how much work and patience it takes to make such a megaphone without the guidance of theory and relying only on practice. He reached out and gently stroked the microphone of the megaphone, making the first sound.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I am Gastens Warren, an Anken Rein serf, a scum who once died on the side of the road without anyone asking, and now, like you, am the master and king of this country!"
Gastens's sound waves were amplified by a loudspeaker, which was more than two hundred years old, and exploded over the crowd, causing an even more violent response. The crowd in the square roared, and there was a loud response that was inaudible.
"Wow-"
Standing on the balcony, Gastens smiled and waved, knowing that the crowd below could see him, just as he could see the small, but clear-eyed faces. The shouts of the crowd gradually became clear with his movements, and gradually converged into rhythmic power.
"Gas-Tens-"
"Communismβismβ"
"Gas-Tens-"
"Communismβismβ"
Gastens gently blocked the megaphone with one hand and turned his head to look at Ivan.
"You see, this is the power of the people. Once you release them, no one in this world will be able to stop them. β
"Yes, sir, this is the power of the people."
Ivan closed his eyes slightly, but for some reason, the corners of his eyes were wet. He, like Gastens, was once at the bottom of this world, and there was no hope in life except to live. For a serf, even life itself is a very painful thing. He resisted violently, but was eventually arrested and imprisoned, thinking that he was destined to become a lonely ghost in this life, but he didn't expect to meet Gastens. The revolutionary who had the same chest as him, with the mark of a felony.
"Comrades, compatriots, all the people of Anken Rein!"
While Ivan was immersed in a flash of memory, Gastens had already begun to continue speaking, "Dear citizens of Elena, I, Gastens, solemnly declare once again that the People's Communist Republic of Ankenrein is officially established today!!! β
Louder reverberations overshadowed the sound of the megaphone for a moment, and Ivan Warren tried to make out it, but heard only a cacophony of sounds. And these noisy and loud sounds, after a few minutes, become inaudible words.
"Hooray! Banzai! Banzai! β
The emotions of the people were direct and intense, and the words chosen also carried with them the greatest blessing they could think of, Long live the People's Communist Republic of Ankenrein! Long live the Anken Rein proletariat! Long live Anken Rein serfs and the working class! People roared their wishes and blessings, and their greatest joy was transmitted upwards through hoarse roars. And at the end of their self-willingness, Gastens Warren, who was standing on the balcony, finally gave them a response. He stepped forward and stood on the edge of the balcony, waving at everyone.
So, the cheers were louder.
"You see, this is the power of the people."
Gastens turned his head and looked at Ivan Warren, at Sink Warren, at the twenty-seven comrades who walked with him to the balcony. All of them looked at him with joy on their faces, and many of them had the same tears in the corners of their eyes. Gastens didn't realize his cry until he saw everyone's tears. He reached out to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes and smiled happily.
The reincarnation of the third generation, more than 400 years of hard work, has finally waited for this moment.
Gastens turned around and walked over to the megaphone again. The crowd gathered in the square saw his movements and gradually fell silent. Holding the megaphone in one hand, Gastens looked at every face under the balcony for a long time before he began to speak.
"My dear comrades, from today onwards, we, the proletariat, have truly stood up! We will do our best to eliminate the exploitation and oppression in this world, so that all workers can live an equal and happy life! β
"Wow-"
The loud noise that sounded again drowned out the last few words of Gastens in a huge wave. However, neither Gastens himself nor the crowd in the audience did not mind. People cheered, waved everything they could in their hands, and the parade began.
Galloping across the battlefield and killing countless enemies, the monster tanks that have earned the title of invincible demon line up through the crowd. Countless people stood behind the white silk fences, looking at the huge chariots with awe, worship, and pride in their eyes. The infantry following the Behemoth Chariot crossed the road ahead of the balcony with their weapons held alf, steam and shouting slogans. And after the soldiers, there was a marching detachment of workers and peasants. Some of them were dressed in overalls, some were carrying farm tools, and all of them had smiles on their faces. Behind them are all kinds of steam-powered tools, from the expensive and hard-to-find red flag steam locomotives on the black market, to all kinds of cranes, bulldozers, forklifts, lifters, etc., those devices that symbolize the power of an industrial nation pass by people's eyes and make loud noises. Their appearance and presence demonstrated Elena's strength, boosted the morale of the masses, and caused countless people hiding in the shadows to quietly exclaim.
Such Elena seems to be no longer the Anken Rein she used to be. And how should these beings, who are destined to oppose communism, deal with the future with Elena?
The exercises and the National Day celebrations lasted a whole day, and the leaders of the Gastens and Ankenrein People's Communist Republic also stood on the balcony for a day. They didn't eat anything except some simple porridge. For each of them, though, a slight feeling of hunger is nothing compared to the founding of the nation.
In the evening, when the celebrations ended, the top brass of the Communist Party had no time to rest. They gathered in the council chamber on the north side of the Grand Palace and began to continue discussing Ankenrein's next move. This was the third enlarged meeting of the Communist Movement since its founding, and more than 300 party members from all walks of life attended the meeting. No matter how much it is, it can only be a party congress.
"Ladies and gentlemen, everyone has had a hard day today. However, I would like you to understand that the establishment and unification of the People's Communist Republic of Ankenrein is not the end of the revolution, but the beginning of it. The current Anken Rein is still largely capitalist, and it is only in our old districts, the seven western provinces, that there is some basis for socialism. And even these foundations are still far from the communism we want. Therefore, I hope that everyone will have a sober understanding of the goals of struggle and the main contradictions of our Communist Party after the founding of the People's Republic of China. In addition to defending the fruits of our victory from being stolen by the enemy and our country from being annihilated by the enemy, we must also put more energy into national economic development and industrial recovery, and on improving the people's living standards. You must know that the values of the people are the simplest and most direct, whoever can let them eat a full stomach, who can let them eat good things, have a house to live in, and a wife to sleep with, they will listen to whom! β
Gastens' vulgar explanation elicited a low burst of laughter in the room, and the attendees looked at their president, smiling, and listening to his instructions.
Therefore, what is the main task of our party after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and how should we achieve this task? I hope that you will have a serious, comprehensive and full discussion on what the international situation is facing and how we should deal with the risks that may exist. At the same time, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, how should we promote reform, what kind of economic system, what kind of production system, and what kind of education system should we establish? I hope that you will also have an in-depth discussion on what to do with the remnants of the old society, the nobles, the ministers, and the capitalists. Only by pooling the strength of each of us and working together can we think of the best way and find the path that suits us best! β
Gastens was thoughtful in his speech. Although he is well aware of the development history of countries with the same background on Earth, and knows the development of Elena in his heart, he does not want to give a direct answer. He hopes that everyone can participate in this discussion, and that everyone can rely on their own strength to find the way forward for Elena.
Hearing the task assigned by Gastens, everyone became excited. According to the distribution of the grouping list of the meeting, they were divided into 19 groups and began to discuss, which was lively and passionate. Gastens and the members of the Communist Party council moved through the room, pausing from time to time to listen, ask questions, and then leave. The discussion lasted more than three hours before being dissuaded by Gastens.
The enlarged meeting of the Communist Party is scheduled to last for one week, and the final report will not be drafted until the fourth day, after the groups have reported on the results of the discussions. Therefore, none of the participants in the discussion was in a hurry to draw conclusions. They ask questions, try to answer them, and then write down their ideas and ideas in a notebook. They will spend the remaining three days thinking about the future of the country.
It wasn't until the last party member left the room that Gastens sat down. The moment he sat down, he felt like his waist was about to break. Claire walked in at some point and gently rubbed his shoulder. Gastens smiled back at her, then fell silent. It is easy to fight the country, but it is difficult to defend the country. Although there are countless experiences of successful people in his heart, and there are also lessons of losers, there are still thousands of problems to be solved in front of Gastens. He knew that the revolution was at this stage and that it was no longer possible for him to rely on his own strength to advance it. He must hand over the people's country to the people.
"Isn't it that the capital has been moved, and you are not used to it? Why don't we continue to build our capital in Elena? β
Gently rubbing Gastens on the shoulder, Claire asked softly. Although she has not been here for a long time, she has learned and mastered no less knowledge than others. And what makes Gastens a little happy is that Claire is somewhat similar to Daisy in a way, and never holds back doubts in her heart.
"Elena has too much classified content and is not suitable for the capital. Rosville is easily accessible and has extensive railroad links, making it better suited to manage the country. However, maybe one day, we can really set the capital in Elena. β
Gastens said, leaning back in his chair and relaxing. Soon, a soft snoring sounded. He was so tired, so tired that he didn't even know that he had reached the limit.
Claire stopped the guards who came forward, took the blanket herself, and gently covered Gastens with it. Afterward, she sat next to Gastens and looked at him tenderly, smiling, as if that was all she had in the world.
