On the lower left road, people from Longjun. A lot of people know my name today because I'm a best-selling author.
My novel "The Cross" was completed in the tenth year after the establishment of the federal government. I quickly found an interested publisher and published it almost without changing a word. It has been another ten years since its release and it has achieved unprecedented success. Now I have become a person who has almost no concept of money, and I receive more royalties every quarter than I can spend.
This novel is narrated in the first person, from the perspective of a little person with super powers, telling his experience after joining a mysterious organization. This well-known war is re-described from a perspective that is different from historical textbooks and has a fantasy setting.
Critics have polarized views on my novels. Some people praise it highly and think that my writing method of mixing modern history and fictional characters into a "romantic" is worth learning from; They criticized my novel for using unscientific viewpoints to distort history, sensationalize, and have a negative impact on minors.
Now that I think about it, I should actually be more grateful to those who hold the second view. Although I could have succeeded without them, I would never have become popular so quickly. Looking back many years later, they have already forgotten about me, and instead pointed the finger at another celebrity who is hot at the moment, expecting the other party to start a scolding war with them or something.
The so-called academic community is basically a group of people like this. In fact, I don’t pay much attention to their opinions, whether they are good or bad. They have a high attitude, high academic qualifications, and a higher self-esteem. This group of people seems to have everything but no works. Of course, I am referring to the kind of works that can bring them both fame and fortune. There are still works that are only popular in their small circle. What this group of people are most keen on is to use a condescending attitude to evaluate other people's things, so as to show that they are a little higher than others...
I've been really annoyed by them for several years. It got much better later, after all, people don't always focus on one person.
During my busiest years, I attended many business events. I was even invited to give a lecture at a well-known university, but the school insisted on awarding me an honorary professor certificate before I left. I looked at the piece of paper in my hand and thought it was funny. It was just a diploma. I forge it by hand, and it takes fifteen minutes to make one. I can even sign it for you with the principal’s signature. It’s exactly the same, so what’s the use
Let’s talk about the influence of “Inverse Cross”. That was far beyond my imagination. Although I have stated in public more than once that the plots in the novel are fictitious and the world we live in is very safe. But there are still avid readers trying to find out the real-life prototypes of some of the characters in the book, even though I almost use fake names in the book...
For this matter, former President Krauser Wittstock invited me to his home for tea. At that time, I was really afraid that this was the Hongmen Banquet, so I thought about it for a long time before making up my mind to go. Unexpectedly, he was very polite. He calmly discussed with me how to continue to deceive readers in the future, and even asked me to sign autographs for his two sons. I really admire him. To know. In my book, he was tricked quite badly by Tianyi...
Oh, by the way, the ending of my novel is actually not perfect. That book ended after the protagonist left the reverse cross. I just briefly mentioned what happened next in the postscript. Including the events in the Samavo Desert, the war in Twin Eagle County, and the destruction of Tiandu. I followed the official version of those things. It seems to have a sense of history, and at the end I add a sentence - many things in ancient and modern times are all laughed at, and it's all done.
In fact, it was only after many years that I gradually uncovered the truth of many things. There are still many things that even I don’t know and may have become eternal mysteries. I leave this text here just to sort out my memories. If anyone sees it in the future, please consider this an unpublished draft of my novel.
Let’s start with the destruction of Tiandu in Genesis... On March 11, 2102, those who watched the news that day originally wanted to see how the new emperor’s coronation ceremony would be an unprecedented event, but they did not expect that what was waiting for them was another "explosive news" "news. Just like Murphy's Law tells us: If something bad is possible, no matter how small the possibility is, it will always happen and cause the greatest possible loss. Who would have thought that the capital of the empire would be wiped out by the ultimate weapon developed by himself.
In the early morning of that day, both the Freedom Front and the Xingtian troops in the Pacific witnessed the white light of destruction. The floating island, which was regarded as an invincible fortress, was completely wiped from the earth in ten seconds. Not to mention the survivors, even the wreckage All evaporated completely.
Who was the initiator of this incident has become an unsolved mystery. It was not until the federal government was established six months later and the Phantom was recovered that some official information was released. It was proven that there was no one on board the ship, and not even the remains of the former crew members could be found. So... the story of the ghost ship spread like wildfire, and rumors that Tiandu was punished by God still exist to this day.
But I have roughly guessed who did it...
After the entire population of Tiandu was declared to have no survivors. People all over the world suddenly showed a humanitarian spirit of compassion, and even public opinion in the areas occupied by the resistance organizations tended to be mournful.
I think this is called hypocrisy.
Anyway, when I saw this news in the news, I didn’t have much thoughts. It's not that I'm ignorant, I'm telling the truth. People are basically indifferent to those misfortunes that they have never witnessed or experienced personally. Earthquakes, tsunamis, famines, hurricanes... are all words that can be seen in various media every once in a while, but if there is no personal pain, how can we know the suffering of the displaced people.
Everyone has a sense of compassion, but very few people can actually put it into action and help others without asking for anything in return. Those guys who pretend to pray for the victims on the Internet may have been scolding the nobles to deserve death half a month ago. After Tiandu was destroyed, they changed their faces and angrily accused those who said "die well" People have no humanity. For them, whether they are pretending or scolding, it is just a low-cost act of self-satisfaction, and they don’t know who will show it to them or who will remember them.
Later I understood that it wasn’t that I had clear ideas, but that too many people had a mush in their minds.
I dare not say anything about others, at least these three guys, Tianyi, Consultant, and Blood Owl. If you hear this news, you will still laugh wildly and unabashedly. Because they don't need to be hypocritical, they don't have much humanity.
As expected. After the incident, the earth was still spinning, the sun was rising on time, and the world was running as usual. The only thing that has changed... is us, all living beings.
The first situation to arise was in Shuangying County. Since Tiandu no longer existed, the local emperor fell into a state of bewilderment. A lieutenant general-level commander became the temporary commander with the highest authority. According to me try to figure out. What he must have felt at the time was something like... A civil servant was on a business trip when he suddenly heard that the capital had disappeared from the face of the earth.
Many newly recruited former members of the Steel Discipline Force, and even soldiers who were originally members of the Imperial Army, have become deserters, and even those at the rank of school officer have disappeared and run away. Just when they were in chaos, the Inspector General of the Holy City of Iron Discipline, Carmo Botterini, and several of his ability users launched an escape plan. Regarding this prison break, to quote his original words in his memoirs, "The operation went extremely smoothly, and the emperor didn't seem to bother to stop us."
Let’s talk about Australia. The situation there is slightly more stable. The sixth prince, Wilfred Wittstock, is the remaining bloodline of the imperial royal family. He was offered as an offering by the local governor like the Heavenly King and Lao Tzu. The county is strategically located. It does not border the areas occupied by the resistance organizations, and its military strength is not bad. There is a faint tendency to become the new capital of the empire.
As for the reaction of the resistance organizations in various places, what you may see in the history textbooks is "expressing regret for this incident and actively negotiating federal matters." But in my opinion, those guys were totally confused. Basically, it feels like being defeated by an army. Active consultation is false, but arms race is real. Everyone wants to delay time and consolidate their strength. All eyes are staring at it. Anyone who dares to take the first shot or do something stupid like becoming a king will be immediately attacked by a group of people.
So... what I'm going to write about next may be a bit sensational. It is about the famous "Federation Agreement" speech that took place on March 29.
This speech undoubtedly shocked the whole world, and even I was shocked. Not only was I surprised that Krauser did not accompany Tiandu in destruction, but it was also unimaginable that a person with the legal right to rule the empire actually proposed federalism. vision and required consultation with the many opposing parties in the war.
Later, Krauser told me personally that that day, when the media around the world were invaded by systems from unknown sources and forced to broadcast the speech, he was sitting in the eas headquarters as an audience.
It was then that I understood that the speaker was not him...
Everyone thought that the "Federation Agreement" was a speech delivered by the first federal president, Clauser Wittstock, but the person who actually delivered that speech... was Darkwater.
Now I don’t need to tell you, you should also know who actually wrote the manuscript of that thing.
As for the subsequent progress, the age can basically be checked online. The first one to respond to the federal agreement was the Yanwu Alliance, followed by Xingtian. With the support of these two resistance organizations, the matter was basically done.
The sixth prince, Wilfred, is also very cooperative. He should know very well that joining the Federation is the only way out. If the world enters a separatist situation, his area is likely to be the primary annexation target of the Freedom Front. It's better to hang out with his seventh brother, at least he won't end up in jail or die.
Steel Commandment and Freedom Front fell to the Federation almost at the same time. Of course, they were several months later than the other two organizations. It felt like... everyone was "rising", and it would be ugly for me to "surrender" at the last moment.
Later, I studied a lot of information and files, and even consulted some secret documents of various forces through connections. After comparing many parties, it was discovered that the world structure at that time seemed chaotic and the future was uncertain, but the most critical point - the comparison of military strength, was relatively balanced among the five forces.
It's right to think about it. I counted on my fingers. The kind of strong men who can ride a thousand horses are almost dead. If we rank the surviving ability users, Cao Shuo and Chang Ying may have to be ranked first two. . Their strength is far behind that of Mr. Xiao back then.
In short, after a long diplomatic process, on September 11, 2102, the federal government was proclaimed, and the capital was set in Crystal County. The abandoned site of the former HL European headquarters was reused, and 80% of the huge facilities were changed to The War Memorial is open to the public, with the remaining area used for federal government offices. This information can now be found in textbooks or online, so I won’t go into details.
The driving force behind this result was undoubtedly the public broadcast of the federal agreement. That speech raised a coveted flag. Even members of the resistance organization were eager to end the war as soon as possible, let alone the general public.
As Tianyi once said to me, war is a relaxant for all mankind, which can effectively relieve the conflicts and pressure accumulated over the years and make people re-recognize the value of peace and tranquility.
At this point, it’s time to trace the fate of the characters in my book. More than twenty years have passed, and I have not been able to contact some people anymore, and I don’t know where they are, so I will write as I think about it...
Let’s talk about people other than the reverse cross first. Krauser Wittstock, the first president of the Federation, served for five years, then voluntarily gave up his re-election and retired to become a consultant.
He received high praise, and many of the changes he made are still in use today. Among them, the most worthy of special mention and having a profound impact on the future should be his abolition of the two special hereditary classes of the nobility and the royal family... Regardless of Is it nominal or substantial
His wife Jiang Jun later recovered her ability to speak, but the former first lady almost never appeared in public and lived in seclusion, caring for her husband and raising her children. The memory of killing people in Reverse Cross didn't seem to have caused any mental damage to her, and I was very happy for her.
Let's talk about his two minions... Oh no, they are confidants, Shi Shi and Zui Jue.
The EAs organization still exists today. Shishi became the director when the federal government was established, and it is still the deputy director today. His wife Changying is the deputy director. The dignified Superpower Supervision Bureau has become their mom-and-pop shop. Nowadays, when you mention Joseph Nolan and Alice White in the circle of capable people, nine out of ten people will answer you, "Oh... they... know... um... let's talk about something else."
In short, if there were weapons in this world, then these two would definitely be ranked first if they joined forces. I've already thought of a nickname, The Vicious Tongue. (To be continued...)
