Zihai, Longshan-Xidu District.
The Alliance has three purple seas that are completely different in appearance and meaning. The first Purple Sea is the Purple Sea in the geographical sense. It is the largest inland lake in the world, covering an area of about 386,000 square kilometers. It is named Purple Sea because of the purple algae that appear as if the sea and the sky meet in summer. Further west from the Purple Sea is the edge area outside the Tianhai World: the wasteland.
The second Purple Sea is the supreme palace in the sense of imperial power. Directly north of Tianjing, facing the sun, in the White Dragon Hall of the White Dragon Palace, there is the Purple Sea in front of His Majesty Danchiyu. Purple agar liquid covers the white marble bricks, where the purple-robed ministers kowtow to the emperor. Purple is the symbol of the empire's achievements, and the sea is the forbidden land of the sacred white dragon.
The nuclear war destroyed the world. The three provinces of Chaoqiu, Shijian, Sanxiang, and Tianhai, the rich and elite provinces of the Alliance, have sunk to the bottom of the sea. Tianjing has turned into ruins. This purple sea, which represents the decadent imperial power, finally followed the empire and passed away.
The third purple sea? The sea has turned into a lake, but the purple of the Alliance is still the same as the purple of the Empire three thousand years ago. Just as the last Emperor Gong personally read his abdication edict, he took off the emperor's white robe and put on the purple clothes of the executive committee. The legal system continues here, and The sea is always the sea.
The gentle breeze ruffles people's hair, white peonies are pinned to their ears, viola flowers are in full bloom beside sandals, and the viola grasses merge into a sea, spreading to the end of the horizon and connecting with the artificial sun in the distance. A warm sun that can be seen with the eyes shines brightly but not blindingly, like a tune floating on the purple sea.
Deer roamed leisurely in the distant purple sea. A young girl stood on the stage, her long braid hanging on her chest. She closed her eyes slightly, leaning on a violin on her swan-like long and white neck, and the sound of music flowed out. Melted into the sound of the piano, ups and downs. It was as if there was an invisible Hailan Tuduo River rushing past in front of the audience.
Those who can listen to the performance of the two daughters of the First Department Chief of the General Staff of the Renaissance Army in the purple sea of Xidu are naturally nobles of the alliance.
In the first row of auditoriums, a woman in black wearing a diamond brooch was paying attention to the performance. She sometimes caressed her lips, sometimes moved her fingers to the melody, and the leaves of the purple pansy flew in front of her. The woman They just raised their hands to block it, and looked at the eyes on the stage. Apart from admiration, they seemed to have no other meaning.
The third executive listened with such an attitude. Everyone in the back row, whether they appreciated it or not, looked at the two girls on the stage with serious expressions. For the time being, there were only violins and pianos in their world. There was only a gentle breeze, and there was no wild surface. .
However, not everyone is very fond of elegant art or rare beauty. On the left side of the row, Gu Xuchun, a newly promoted major general in military uniform, holds a newspaper clipping of internal reference materials in his leather gloves. He bites the corner of his mouth very tightly and takes aim. He glanced at his daughter who was performing on the stage, then turned slightly sideways and lowered his voice and said:
"Why did you send people from Jiazi to collect specimens? Don't you know that Tan Jiankui was planned by Gui?"
"The 'Qin Plan' people are all attacking me. They think I approved it! As early as the implementation of the 'Soil Sweeping Plan', Mr. Ren requested that the plan not be drawn out! Now both sides of the army are offended!"
"You made it difficult for me to deal with Mr. Zhou!"
The man next to Gu Xuchun glanced at the newspaper clipping that was handed to him. The title was "The Empire announces autumn military exercises, and four armies are expected to be mobilized."
"Four armies!" Seeing that he still hadn't spoken, Gu Xuchun's voice was so low that it was almost drowned out by the music that turned to the middle theme and rose in the key of G major. "Reliable news, the emperor over there has instructed Elector Muravyov to carry out general mobilization of the principality. Guards tank corps numbers have appeared in the direction of Kamaninvestok. This is a confrontation between half a million and half a million!"
"Wen Pinghai, someone must bear this responsibility!"
Gu Xiuyun slowly plucked the strings, and the music "Hailan Tuduo River" entered the middle part. The piano temporarily replaced the violin solo, and the music became more majestic and clear, symbolizing that the Hailan River had reached the middle reaches, passed through Yanqi, and flowed to Beiqin. With a wide basin, it is the largest river in the northeastern part of the Alliance. Its waves are surging, pushing forward the waves of emotions layer by layer.
The music on the stage became more and more powerful, and the people in the audience became more and more strange.
"For so many years, you've always made a fuss out of a molehill." The man who was questioned by Gu Xuchun finally spoke, and retorted.
Wen Pinghai didn't turn his face, but a long and curved scar on his left cheek swelled from time to time, really like a wriggling earthworm.
Wen Pinghai straightened the hem of his tuxedo and slowly straightened the parliamentary badge on his chest. When the meeting of the seven-member executive committee is not convened, the political participation council handles general political affairs. Even the first executive committee must take care of the party with the majority of seats.
Being stabbed made Gu Xuchun even more unhappy. He crossed his riding boots and wiped away the stains on the sides of his boots.
This grass looks like blood. Gu Xuchun looked down at the purple cordyceps that had been trampled into juice.
"You are the leader of the Blue Party, and two-thirds of the members are your people. The review of the new quarterly defense budget will begin on the 20th. The military needs more manpower!"
The political arena of the alliance has always been turbulent. After more than thirty years of existence, as the leader of the majority party and a veritable "eighth executive committee member", Wen Pinghai's expression remained unchanged. He leaned back on his chair, and the slender golden ornaments beside him touched his cheeks. The arm doesn't feel like it's touching a stone, it's just like it's touching a piece of cloth.
"It is absolutely impossible to extend military service. The population growth rate of the underground city is less than 0.2%. I am a politician, not a magician, Mr. Major General."
The beat skipped, a smile appeared on Gu Xiuyun's lips, and her braid moved. She changed the frequency of the short and long playing just now, and played the music with a very lively rhythm in a quick and short way. This is Hailan Tuduo. By the river, villagers are holding a wedding.
The sudden change of tone made Gu Xuchun choke, and he said angrily: "Really? The military material budget is vetoed every quarter. You want the headquarters to discount combat troops and subsidize auxiliary troops! Don't even think about it!"
"Look, this is the difference between you and me." Wen Pinghai glanced at the third executive committee member. Mrs. Lin was still listening attentively to the performances of the two daughters of the Gu family.
Sure enough, women are not afraid of the cold. Wen Pinghai plucked the grass roots blowing from his hair and thought.
"The defense budget for the next quarter must be passed, and the Blue Party must agree. This is what Mr. Zhou said, otherwise the army will support the Green Party instead." Gu Xuchun said, he frowned, half angry, and half really unaccustomed to the sudden change. He couldn't appreciate the change of tone, from a big river to a random wedding of ordinary people.
Wen Pinghai said "ha" and said sideways: "Is the army going to return to the path that Ren Dingjia charted during his lifetime? This is 2083, not 2043!"
"Once a war breaks out and the army is not well prepared, it will be back to 1983!"
"Shh!"
Finally, he couldn't bear the two insects disturbing Yaxing. The third executive committee member turned around and said silently, saying displeasedly: "Quiet, gentlemen."
Sitting on the right side of Wen Pinghai, facing the displeased eyes of the third executive committee member, Gu Xuchun could only nod. He put his newspaper clippings on Wen Pinghai's knees and said in a voice like a mosquito: "Read it!"
The music gradually weakened, and the quiet and soft chords of the piano sounded just like the night was slowly falling, and the violin played a beautiful slow melody in the high register, just like the moonlight shrouding the hazy water. At this time, the two girls stood up and sang acapella:
"In the vast and beautiful mountains of my motherland
There are two beautiful springs flowing long
One is gentle, the other is cool, they merge into a river
The waves of Hailan Tuduo River are splashing and splashing
Reflecting the blue sky, white clouds and red clouds shining brightly
Water nymphs play happily in the ripples under the moonlight
river through forest
It falls down thousands of feet
Falling down
Flows through golden harvest fields around the village
Share the joy of country weddings
Listen to the castle sing as it remembers its glorious history
The sound of the brave hunter's horn dispels the demonic barrier
The waves hit the cliff
The sound of the waves shocked everyone..."
People sang along softly. "Hailan Tuduo River" is a famous folk song. It was first spread in the eastern region of the Alliance, where the Alliance's heavy industry started. This song was also adapted into modern music forms such as symphony and percussion. As the center of gravity of the alliance moved northward after the nuclear war, this song naturally became the second national anthem under the official national anthem "Ode to the White Dragon".
"Several faction leaders are here. Let's talk after the banquet." Wen Pinghai had already read the newspaper clippings. There were endless articles about the border tensions for several months. However, if there was no tension that year, could it be that the border confrontation between the Alliance and the Empire started this year? For more than ten years, the confrontation has not changed, and the character of his old friend Gu Xuchun has not changed at all. Just like this newspaper clipping, what kind of person would specially cut it and bring it to him?
At least the daughters of the Gu family are smart. The party leader listened to the singing of the two daughters of the Gu family on the stage.
"Rush toward the majestic capital of Changhai
The magnificent Hailan Tuduo River is even more brilliant
Converging with the magnificent Shuangqin River
The surge never stops moving forward. "
Who told the Gu family to have only one daughter? Wen Pinghai thought and clapped his hands. The comparison between Gu Xuchun's daughter on the stage and the cousin next to her made them look bright and elegant yet gentle and graceful.
Everyone in the audience stood up and applauded. Gu Xiuyun raised her skirt and lowered her body to salute everyone. She walked across the aisle and walked towards the banquet hall hidden behind the hill not far away. Her cousin, Li Qi, took a few beats to catch up. .
"Then it's best to negotiate and come up with a result. I'm patient, but those in the joint meeting don't have that much." His daughter just passed by, and finally no longer had to lower her voice, Gu Xuchun said in a normal voice.
Wen Pinghai turned around and applauded sincerely in the direction Gu Xiuyun left. As he walked, he whispered: "Talk in detail."
As soon as he turned around, the third executive committee member walked up to Gu Xuchun. This woman who was over fifty years old was inevitably stained by the traces of time, but in a high position, time could be purchased.
The sleeves are dyed like perfume, the edges of the brows and lips are delicate, and the crow's feet are hidden for makeup. The pure black evening dress is like a black iris. Standing next to a major general in military uniform, he has no less aura.
"Congratulations to your daughter and niece, they are outstanding." As Mrs. Lin spoke, Gu Xuchun's back subconsciously stiffened. The former had no intention of correcting him and sighed as he walked: "They are all role models for girls in the new era."
