Finale: The Tomorrow We Will Usher in (Secondary 1)
Elizabeth's abrupt end to her otherwise promising political career was unexpected by anyone, and a shocking situation arose just when it was thought that the legendary woman who had led the Confederacy to victory and peace during the Silver Cross War was going to sacrifice her regained political life to make way for Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, who had saved the entire Confederacy.
In place of Elizabeth, it was not the eldest princess who had become famous, but Her Royal Highness Isa, the second princess, who had been relatively unknown, and then what was even more incomprehensible was that Elizabeth did not hesitate to offend the upper echelons of the entire federation to ban the House of Lords, and resumed its operation in the hands of Isa.
Due to the defensive attitude of the upper echelons of the Federation towards Elizabeth at the beginning, and the rumors that Isa rushed to Sudake on the Poplar to win the defensive battle were not well known, most of people's impressions of this little girl were still stuck in the New Year's Bloody Night four years ago.
However, just when everyone was puzzled by Elizabeth's arrangement, after the second princess who had followed her side to assist in politics for the past two years, the first thing announced was unexpected by everyone.
Whether it was the families who had a wait-and-see attitude towards Elizabeth, the celebrities of the press, or the people who had just emerged from the anger of the war scandal, they were extremely shocked and puzzled.
On behalf of Elizabeth, Isa apologized for the decision-making problems of the war, and announced that a series of fixed assets under the name of Elizabeth Royalty would be nationalized, and a large part of them would be used for the post-disaster reconstruction of the war pension and Blackstone.
If that were the case, many would have thought it was a hugely successful political show.
However, when the Phantom Crystal Mining Company appeared in the list of those industries, the whole country was in an uproar.
As we all know, whether it is the Empire or the Federation, the Spectral Energy Crystal is the most important strategic material, and there is no one.
In this magnificent era of the Star Sea, whether it is the interstellar voyage of warships and spaceships, or the increasingly effective industrial kinetic energy. Or the energy transformation of the mecha engine on the battlefield, the ghost energy crystal is an indispensable existence.
Arguably, this was the most important trophy Elizabeth ever received from the federal government after the Silver Cross War, and even the foundation of the influence that would continue to be the head of the three lords and five surnames in the following decades.
But this time, Elizabeth won this cruel war, and also won this bloody political battle, as a victor, why did she make such a move that was almost self-defeating?
In this situation where Landistan and the Qian family are bound to become second-rate families, once the ghost crystal mining is abandoned, then Elizabeth will lose her greatest support. It can no longer even be called a generation of gate valves.
Some people even suddenly had an almost ridiculous idea: Elizabeth intends to gradually decentralize power and eventually withdraw from the political and historical stage of the Federation!
For this almost possible speculation, many people feel complicated and inexplicable, this vast counterattack battle was indeed decided by Elizabeth, and the secret activation of the biological mecha was also decided by her, which ultimately led to the death data that was close to a national disaster.
In a way, Elizabeth was atoning for her sins in this way, without asking for anyone's forgiveness. Even if many people have already forgiven her.
No matter how shocked and speculated the people at the bottom, Isha dismissed a number of MPs after the first restoration of the House of Lords, and all the seats should be vacant. They are selected by open national suffrage.
It was only after this series of political turmoil that Isha announced another decision that people were more concerned about.
The Federation and the Empire will sign a post-war peace agreement, and will go to the capital of the Empire in the near future to negotiate.
The decision to start this war was in part a political necessity of the Union, and this decision almost turned the Union upside down. In the post-war peace negotiations, it is the needs of the people.
But many people don't understand that it is clearly the Federation that is the victorious country. Why did Her Highness Isha go to the Imperial Qinjing for peace talks?
Many people and even the upper echelons of the Federation were puzzled by this decision, but not many people knew that it was instructed by Arsariya, who was still on the way back.
She hopes that her sister can take a group of Federation people as the eyes of the Federation and go to the distant Qinjing in person to see the real empire, and let the empire see the sincerity of the Federation.
Just when people were in doubt, the next day the Lensar Evening News, the most authoritative newspaper in the Federation, published an academic article on its entire front page under the headline "The Forgotten History of Betrayal."
The content is the history that was once deliberately forgotten and concealed by the Federation, the blank space between the end of the Earth era and the era of interstellar colonization.
At the same time, the Federal Education Agency has also successively compiled and released history textbooks after the New Year, adding the cruel history of the last years of the Earth Age, which is a great era when mankind finally began to take resolute steps towards the starry sky that it once looked up to when it had no way out.
Although there have long been rumors about the origin and connection of two similar civilizations on the other side of the galaxy, when the official recognition was made, it still shocked many people, set off a fierce debate, and many people fell into deep thought after being silent.
This fact certainly cannot resolve the hatred between the two countries, but it has become a relief icebreaker after this kind of war and the official political attitude has been made clear, and it may not cause too many changes in a short period of time, but presumably, after everyone looks through the new books and sees the grievances between the predecessors of the two countries thousands of years ago and the final choice between each other, the deep feelings in their hearts will be a little different from before.
While waiting in this complicated mood, the expeditionary force on the front line returned triumphantly, and a huge welcoming ceremony was held at the capital airport.
When Shi Chen walked out of the passage with Liya, the entire capital airport became solemn.
"Shoot!"
"Playing music!"
"Salute!"
In the salute of hundreds of thousands of people, the hundreds of tall and mighty mecha around them slowly squatted down on their right mechanical legs, and the huge fuselage clumsily leaned forward to salute, welcoming the eldest princess of the Federation and the return of the heroes of the Federation.
Liya looked at the long-lost capital airport, looked at those eyes full of longing, looked at the shots aimed at herself, but she was about to say something, but she suddenly froze.
Shi Chen beside her also trembled slightly, not because of the cold, but because of indescribable excitement, because he saw that at the end of the red carpet dotted with snow, Isha, who was wearing a silver crown, was holding a little girl with black hair and a white skirt and plush earmuffs standing quietly in front of people.
He looked at the black-haired girl who had grown a lot taller, and the black-haired girl was also looking at him in a daze.
"Qianlin" Shi Chen couldn't help but call out her name.
At this moment, Shi Chen's eyes seemed to disappear, leaving only the figure that worried him.
Just as everyone was waiting for Liya to speak, people were stunned to see the little black-haired girl who was being led by Isha break free from the second princess's hand and run towards the eldest princess.
"Dad~!"
In the complicated gaze of people who were stunned but immediately relieved, Shi Chen took a few steps, hugged Qianlin, who threw herself into his arms, turned around happily, and couldn't help kissing her delicate eyebrows, Qiong's nose and little face red from excitement, eager to rub this most important girl in his life into his arms.
"I miss you." Qian Lin buried her little head in Shi Chen's arms, kept rubbing it, and smeared the thoughts and tears she had been full of for several years on Shi Chen's clothes.
"Daddy misses you too." The thought that in her absence, she had grown to the age of five, filled her with guilt.
"Hmm~"
Seeing that the welcome ceremony had not yet begun, it was suddenly interrupted by this sudden situation, and the officials in charge of the ceremony also looked at each other.
"It's not good."
Just when someone tried to step forward and try to persuade Shi Chen to let the ceremony continue, he suddenly heard Shi Chen's voice, "Qianlin, Dad brought you a gift." ”
In Qianlin's expectant gaze, Shi Chen hugged her and turned to Liya, who showed timidity for the first time, "Come, call Mom." ”
But I didn't know what Qianlin felt for the first time when she saw Liya, the inexplicable feeling that the blood was thicker than water made her feel something for the first time, and then when she heard Shi Chen's words, her little shoulders trembled, and she looked at Liya, who was also three points nervous, three points scared, and four points expectant, and still timidly called out to her mother.
It was just a simple title, but it made the most powerful woman under the stars burst into tears, and she hugged her daughter who was five years away from Shi Chen's hand because she left her mission, and she choked silently.
The 'family of three', who came together again after the war, did not know their actions, and the mother, everyone at the scene of the earthquake, and the federal people in front of the TV screen were silent.
This legendary eldest princess, who has been missing for more than ten years, actually had a daughter at some point, and the child's father turned out to be the combat hero Captain Shi Chen, who was a full round younger than her
After connecting Shi Chen's age and the approximate age of the girl, I don't know how many people were silent again, and they really didn't know what words to use to describe the taste of this eldest princess and Shi Chen's admiration.
However, after several turns in the mood, I was relieved and relieved that the Elizabeth royal family had another little princess.
Isha looked at her sister who was crying with joy, and looked at Shi Chen, who was smiling happily, and couldn't help but smile with relief on her face.
Originally, it stands to reason that this kind of occasion should not bring the nameless Qianlin with her, but she knew how much Shi Chen and Liya missed each other, so she overrode public opinion and brought Qianlin over.
Seeing that some officials were embarrassed, Isha walked towards Shi Chen and them, gave the two of them a hug, and raised a bright and pretty face: "Welcome back." ”
With this round of interlude, the subsequent ceremonies, although still grand, are somewhat overshadowed.
On this night, many people are destined to have no sleep.
