"Dear Matthew! Please don't forget that the full name of the United States is the United States of America. As far as I know, this word "United States" seems to be the only two countries in the world that have it, you and Mexico, right?"
Matthew was stunned for a moment and didn't know why Xiao Letian changed the topic here, but he quickly nodded.
"After all, Mexico is influenced by American culture. Their name of the United States is a bit of a joke. But as an American, of course you should understand the origin of this unique name of the United States of America?"
"Of course!" Matthew said proudly, "The United States refers to a democratic federal state with the purpose of uniting the people and realizing democracy. This is the founding principle that our United States has followed since the founding of the country!"
"It didn't start when you founded the country, right?" Xiao Letian reminded with a smile, "Your national spirit should have started from the Mayflower Declaration, didn't it?"
Matthew, Mike and even American Pastor Lewis stood solemnly at this moment, with their right hands on their hearts and began to recite the first convention in American history loudly in English.
"In the name of God, Amen. We, the undersigned, as obedient subjects of the great James I., to the glory of God, to the advancement of the Christian faith, and the honor of our country and monarch, do hereby undertake to establish a new settlement in the northern part of Virginia. to establish the first colony on the shores of the world. We appear to each other before God, and hereby agree to form a civil body politic among us all, so that we may better survive and create good order among ourselves. By this compact we shall enact just and equal laws, decrees, and orders, which shall be faithfully observed by us, and shall appoint, as necessary, magistrates to whom we shall obey..."
The Mayflower Declaration was very brief. After they finished reciting it, Xiao Letian was the first to applaud.
"I hear the pride in your hearts. It is the foundation of your country. In 1620, when the Mayflower immigration ship was about to land on the North American continent, 41 adult men on board jointly formulated this declaration. This is the group of people who What the Garden of Eden looked like in the minds of the persecuted Puritans in Europe..."
"And when was the United States' Declaration of Independence born? It was 1776, a gap of 150 years! As far as I know, the composition of the American army during the Revolutionary War was not a regular army! At that time, the smoothbore was picked up Who are the people who fired at the British? They were militiamen! They were militiamen who volunteered to join the war!"
Xiao Letian spread his hands, "What is the origin? The moment when everything first emerged is the origin. From the moment the spirit of the United States was born, there was no organization of nobles, emperors and generals at all. Everything was organized by the immigrants themselves. of!"
"Even your military does not have any personal imprint. It comes from the militia and finally returns to the people. This is the political soil of your United States!"
"With this kind of soil, the rose of the United States will be born! I remember correctly, your national flower is the rose!"
"Okay, let's turn our attention to Europe again. What is the full name of the United Kingdom? The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland! Understand, the United Kingdom is essentially a kingdom and it is a kingdom united by two kings! Their government and army are If there is an inheritance, where does it come from? It comes from the royal power of the Middle World!"
"Although the British national system has been adjusted again and again, the basic inheritance has not changed!"
"Look at France now. What is its full name? The Second French Empire! Why the second? That's because Louis Bonaparte wants to succeed his uncle Zhengshuo of the First Empire! Why is it an empire and calls itself the emperor? The Queen of England Why can’t I be called Queen?”
"That's because the title of emperor in Europe must be given by the church. Only kings who have been crowned by the Catholic Church can be called emperors!"
"Why can Russia call itself an empire? Why can the tsar call himself emperor? That's because the Orthodox Church crowned him!"
"Now everyone should understand what I want to express, right? Every nation and every country has its own cultural heritage. Where is the heritage of Ryukyu? In the five hundred years of feudal kingdom history, and the white-hand creation of Xiao Letian, !”
"Isn't the subtext that Matthew just wanted to express to me that your democracy and federalism are the best? You hope that I can consider some of the advantages of your political system! I am grateful for this, but..."
The smile on Xiao Letian's face faded, "But please remember, and my disciples of Xiao Letian who are here must also remember...other people's suggestions are just suggestions, just listen to them. If you really want to leave, We still need to make our own choices!"
"Today's Ryukyu is not the North American continent 248 years ago. Everything here has our own origins! Everyone must not forget that the current army, this government, and this huge financial group... did not come from the sky. What fell was not caused by the people themselves like in the United States!"
"Everything in front of me was created from scratch by me, Xiao Letian! Without me, there would be no this army, this government, and this financial group! There would be no spiritual core like "The Journey to the West" and "The Order of the Chinese"!
"I, Xiao Letian, can give up these rights, and I can dedicate all of them to the Chinese people, but the people cannot deny my existence!"
The extremely serious voice shocked people's hearts. Xiao Hexin and the Four Heavenly Kings were the first to stand up and said loudly, "The Prime Minister's great achievements will never be forgotten by my subordinates! I firmly believe that the entire Chinese army and people will not forget the Prime Minister's kindness!" "
Immediately afterwards, all the officials stood at attention, their leather boots clashed together, and everyone bowed and saluted Xiao Letian. "The Prime Minister's great achievements will never be forgotten by the entire Chinese army and people!"
The sound was like thunder, and the faces of the guests watching the ceremony turned pale.
Matthew felt the invisible pressure released by Xiao Letian, and the powerful aura of the superior shocked him. At that moment, he finally understood what Xiao Letian meant.
Xiao Letian snorted coldly in his heart, "Humph! You Americans have this stinking problem in your bones. You always want to pour chicken soup for others' souls all over the world! In the 19th century, you have already consciously advocated your political system. After the 21st century, then Is it okay?"
"You have the ability to feed the British with chicken soup! Go and feed France, Prussia, and Russia with chicken soup! You have to have people take care of you! You can't get used to this problem from the beginning!"
"Today's words are destined to be recorded in historical documents. I must be vaccinated first. If someone instills the ideology of acclimatization into the Chinese people in the future, then I can look through today's documents. I hope that by then I will Lotte’s name can still have a little effect!”
At this point, the basic framework of the Chinese Order has been introduced, the aristocratic system of six nobility and eighteen ranks, the people are divided into three categories: citizens, civilians, and immigrants. The aristocratic assembly and the citizen assembly are set up to discuss politics. The prime minister directly leads the cabinet and the army as the country's governor... …
These are just a general framework, and there are still many details that need to be revised under the framework. Sima Yun cleared his throat and continued to recite, and at this moment, the afterglow of the setting sun filled the entire Ryukyu Islands.
