487. Early morning
All kinds of officials quarreled, and panic spread among the crowd.
Gretvo closed his eyes.
After so many years, he is no longer young, he is more calm in his work, and in order to avoid war, he repeatedly makes concessions.
The contradiction between the Celestial Ring and the Red Arrow has been around for a long time, and it has been buried since the old times.
This is a feud, a blood feud.
As a person of Terrestrial origin, Gretvo's appointment as the head of state was originally the intention of the Celestial Ring to cut off the Celestial Ring Kingdom in the past history, and they have been giving up unnecessary force.
As early as when Gretvo took office, he ordered the Red Fan Army to demolish all the shrines and temples where the war criminals of the invasion were worshipped in the past, personally visited the victims of all past war crimes in the Tianhuan, and made sufficient compensation to support each victim until his death.
They have clearly marked the history, repeatedly emphasizing the repeated war crimes committed by the people of the Celestial Ring against other countries in the past, including massacres against humanity, human experimentation and colonial plunder, and every citizen of the Celestial Ring Republic has been told from birth that their ancestors have been at fault with the world, and have been working hard to change their image until the whole world, including outsiders, is willing to forgive them.
The people of the previous generation are the people of the previous generation after all. It's not that this generation of people is willing to blindly perpetuate hatred, it's just that some people never think that they have done wrong.
At least the people of the outside world have forgiven the people of the modern Tianhuan Republic under the sincere apology and compensation of the people of Tianhuan. Frost-plated President Davilyn is a great man with a far-reaching pattern, he has been promoting the development of friendly cooperation among various countries, and the frost-plated people are also tired of war and choose to coexist peacefully with the Tianhuan Republic.
Ask yourself, Grettwo also knows that it is not easy to get the people of the world to forgive the sinful country of the past.
Even if the wound is healed, the scar remains.
There is no such thing as a world in which one person can be blamed for all sins.
No, no war can be fought by one person.
It is the princes and nobles of the Tianhuan Kingdom and all the people who directly or indirectly support it in order to carry it on, and everyone is a war criminal of the past.
It is for this reason that it is up to the entire country and the people to act continuously, to apologize, and to contribute to the new generation in order to pay for the sins of the past.
That's what the republic did, and it was because of their sincerity that people forgave them.
However, the Red Arrows don't want atonement.
The Empire does not want them to surrender and surrender,.
"Foreign Minister Park Youcheon even said: [The imperialists] scoffed at their sincere repentance and wanted to commit genocide against us."
The Speaker of the House of Representatives worried:
"Comrade Prime Minister, we have to be ready, the empire is unreasonable."
"Just 12 hours ago, the canopy of Doom had dropped another 1,500 meters, and a country that had already been on the plateau had been forced to abandon its homeland and go into exile. At the moment of crisis for all mankind, it is not the responsibility of a great power to blindly think about revenge and vent anger. β
Gretworth says:
"The Red Arrow Empire is the hope of mankind, the greatest empire of the Blue Star, the people are happy, the country is strong, and they should have a higher consciousness than us."
"But in their eyes, are we really human beings?"
An official asked:
"The empire treats every citizen well, giving them potions to make them enjoy endless pleasure, and the emperor only cares about how happy his citizens are, regardless of the feelings of other citizens. Even if they had the determination to fight the Doom, it must have been done after the slaughter of us. β
"I'm sure the Empire won't be like that."
Grettworth didn't believe the cruel truth, he opened his eyes, looked at the crowd, and told a story:
"40 years ago, just a few years before the republican revolution. At that time, all the people of Azure Star firmly believed in one statement: the sun did not exist, and it was a lie deliberately made up by the high-ranking people of Azure Star in order to facilitate the rule of the people. The universe does not exist, the world is flat, and there has never been such a thing as light. β
He stood up and put his hands on the table:
"But after that incident, this 'no-day theory' disappeared from the world in an instant."
Gretworth glanced at the crowd:
"Do you know why?"
Without waiting for everyone to answer, Gretworth took the initiative to debunk the answer:
"Because we've seen the blue sky with our own eyes."
"I'm going to the universe to find a way to save Azure Star. βthe man said. β
"A Red Arrow man named Li Oz captured the world's most powerful hydrogen bomb, and then relied on a temporarily assembled spaceship to blast himself into the sky, relying on the flames of the hydrogen explosion, bringing us a brief moment of light."
Gretworth says:
"The sky is blue, the clouds are white, the soft light shining on us is not as insensitive as an artificial sun, and the world is not the lead gray of our eyes, but azure β this is where the 'Azure Star' comes from."
"Li Oz, the true legend of the Galactic Age, he went to the universe. At one time, people thought he was dead, some thought it was just a show, and some thought he was a martyred hero. Some of the Adventists say that he has established a new home in the universe and will take people there at any time, and there are different opinions about what happened to them. β
"Gentlemen, you know, I'm not an optimistic person, but I was personally involved in the operation when Leoz ascended into space. At that time, I mounted my shield and watched the tattered, patchwork spaceship rush into the starry sky amid the artillery fire of the Celestial Ring Country. β
Gretworth took a deep breath and said:
"I believe in Rio Oz."
"We all know that the republic could not be established without the help of Leoz's followers, and I never thought that Leoz died. And now, Teal Star is on the verge of apocalypse, and I'm confident that Leoz won't sit idly by. I also firmly believe that the Red Arrow Empire, which witnessed that bright scene, will definitely not ignore the overall situation at such a critical moment. β
"I believe in hope. Rather, since I saw that scene of light, I don't think anyone can take it for granted anymore. β
Gretworth sat back in his chair and comforted the group:
"Foreign Minister Park is still in secret negotiations, which should be over soon, so let's listen to his results and talk about it. Either way, I believe in the future of humanity. β
As soon as the words fell, the people gradually settled down.
As the minutes ticked by, the officials of the Mirage Palace waited anxiously.
Jingle bells!
Finally, 6 minutes and 21 seconds later, the phone in the president's office rang.
People raised their heads and looked at Gretwart, their eyes extremely complicated, some fearful, some worried, some calm, some suspicious, and some even clenched their fists, as if they had already known the outcome in advance.
At this moment, the moment to decide the fate of the 600 million people in Tianhuan has arrived.
