Chapter 297: Eternal Heroes, I'm No. 1(1/2)
(I drank too much today...I'm a few minutes late, sorry~)
---
The rain beat against the car window, the sound was messy and hasty.
The atmosphere in the carriage was oppressive and dull.
Li Huacheng looked at the scenery outside the window with a smile. Through the rain through the car window, the scenery was blurry, and his eyes were also a little blurry.
"Your Highness, Mr. President, shall we go back to the hotel directly?"
Rick sat in the passenger seat and turned around and asked, under normal circumstances, when the President of Zhongzhou visited Ulan Country, he would naturally stay in the Presidential Palace temporarily, but now the Presidential Palace has become a ruin, and only the room where Wang Tianzong lives is still intact.
In good condition, Ulan Kingdom can only temporarily accommodate the distinguished guests from Zhongzhou in the hotel.
Li Huacheng sensitively noticed the order of Rick's names. He smiled and said softly: "I am a guest as you please. I have many things to do during my visit, but not much. Mr. Prime Minister, we must do it when we have time."
Let’s have a good chat.”
"That's natural."
Rick nodded quickly, the thoughts in his mind kept turning.
Li Huacheng only has five days to stay in Ulan Kingdom, and he has to travel to the other four countries in the remaining two days. Time is very tight. This is the first day of his arrival. Li Huacheng has reason to do many things, such as arranging for him to meet with Ulan Kingdom.
high-level talks, seize the time to sign an agreement, such as meeting Wang Tianzong who is imprisoned in the Presidential Palace, or visiting the Xuewu Army.
In addition, Ulan Kingdom also prepared a very high-level dinner. The theme of the banquet was the future development of Eastern Europe. As Central Continent's position in Ulan Kingdom gradually stabilized, the general situation in Eastern Europe also gradually stabilized. Who could
Everyone knows that if you want to survive in Eastern Europe in the future, and if you want to survive well, you must look at Zhongzhou's face. Therefore, for this dinner, Wulan State sent invitations to countless families and groups throughout Eastern Europe, and also participated in the dinner.
Also included was the delegation brought by Li Huacheng.
This is the first large-scale dinner held by Central Continental forces and Eastern European forces. To a certain extent, it can almost determine the pattern of Eastern Europe for at least several decades in the future. This can be said to be the most important thing, but the funny thing is that the time for the dinner has not yet been
To make an accurate decision, Rick must wait for Li Huacheng to nod.
He thought for a while and tentatively said: "Mr. President, it's like this. The Ulan Kingdom has prepared a very grand welcome dinner. I don't know tonight..."
"Pushed for now."
Li Tianlan suddenly said: "Tomorrow night."
Rick was stunned, and subconsciously wanted to nod, but felt something was wrong, so he had to continue looking at Li Huacheng, but his eyes had obviously become perfunctory.
Li Huacheng's smile did not change. He looked at Li Tianlan and said softly: "What different opinions does Tianlan have?"
Li Tianlan looked at the wind and rain outside the window.
Under the wind and rain, Leki City was in a state of depression.
That day, his sword flashed in front of the Caesar Hotel, tearing apart half of the city. The sword struck ten thousand meters, and the damage left to the city has never been repaired. At this time, Ulan Country was already a lot more lively, but
But there are still some traces of the war.
"The full strength of the Snow Dance Corps is 20,000."
Li Tianlan said calmly: "From Amea to here, more than two thousand soldiers fell, marching all the way, hundreds of miles away, stained with blood all the way. That night when we defeated the major dark forces, the Snow Dance Legion was in this city
More than 1,200 soldiers have fallen here, and the Snow Dance Legion has sacrificed nearly 4,000 lives to achieve what we have achieved now."
Rick looked a little pale and fidgeted.
Li Tianlan's voice became calmer: "No matter whether they faced the masters of the Invincible Realm or the coalition forces from other countries, the Xuewu Legion never retreated. We fought from Amea all the way to Leki City, and there was not a single deserter in the Xuewu Legion. They all
They died dignifiedly in battle, so they are all martyrs."
"This city and this country will be engraved with the mark of Central Continent in the future, but no one should forget that everything here was once stained red by the blood of the martyrs of Central Continent."
He turned to look at Li Huacheng and said calmly: "Mr. President should not forget it."
Li Huacheng was not embarrassed, but looked solemn.
He looked at Li Tianlan and nodded solemnly: "I think I know what I should do today."
He glanced at Rick and said gently: "Mr. Prime Minister, let's go to the Snow Dance Corps' station now and notify the rear vehicles that all members of the delegation are going!"
Rick smiled bitterly and nodded.
In fact, when President Zhongzhou visited Ulan Country, everything was arranged in advance, but Rick and Li Tianlan had a small disagreement that was not a disagreement at all. Li Tianlan's meaning was very simple. Li Huacheng had to go to Ulan Country on his first day.
He was going to visit the Snow Dance Legion. The ashes of nearly four thousand martyrs had not yet been buried. The Star Flag of Central Continent had already flown in the Heroes Square in the center of Leiki City. For Li Tianlan, having thousands of martyrs buried in peace was the most important thing to him.
things.
But Rick also has his own pressure. Now the entire Ulan country's top management, and even the entire interest class in Eastern Europe, hope that the dinner can be held as soon as possible. The pressure on Rick can be imagined. He weighed it again and again, and still put the dinner on
Li Tianlan might not like it, but Rick believed he could explain it.
only...
Rick glanced at Li Tianlan, sighed softly in his heart, picked up the walkie-talkie and began to instruct the convoy to turn.
The Snow Dance Corps is still temporarily stationed at the parade square in front of the Presidential Palace. When the luxurious motorcade drove into the square, all the senior officials of the Snow Dance Corps were already present, and all the soldiers, injured or not, were gathered in the square.
When Li Huacheng got off the bus, there were only over 10,000 elite soldiers stationed in Leji City. They all raised their hands and saluted.
The wind and rain were chaotic, but the square erupted into a roar due to tens of thousands of people raising their hands. In an instant, it seemed that even the wind and rain between heaven and earth became fierce.
Li Tianlan followed Li Huacheng.
The top brass of the Snow Dance Corps came over.
The two deputy commanders of Qingfeng Liuyun stood on the left and right.
Standing among them was Jie who had just come out of the hospital.
Jie's body was still weak and his face was pale, but his figure was as sharp as a sword.
Li Huacheng shook hands with him and said gently: "How is your injury?"
"fine."
Zed's voice was clear and calm. Such an occasion was obviously not suitable for detailed discussion. He pointed to the temporary high platform in the center of the square and whispered: "President, please."
Li Huacheng took a deep breath, looked around at the crowd of Central Continent soldiers raising their hands in salute, and strode towards the high platform.
There are no flowers on the high platform, only a microphone.
Li Huacheng stood up and was instantly drenched by the wind and rain.
Li Huacheng held the microphone, his eyes calm and dignified.
The next second, his voice resounded throughout the square and throughout the world.
"You are all heroes of Central Continent and the pride of Central Continent."
"I am Li Huacheng. Today, at this moment, I promise you in the name of President Zhongzhou that Zhongzhou will never let down any martyr or any soldier."
"In this war, whether you are a survivor or a victim, Central Continent is proud of you."
"Today I will be here with you to send all the martyrs on their way."
Under the wind and rain, Li Huacheng's voice was clear and loud.
This speech, which lasted less than ten minutes, had no passion or blood, only calmness and solemnity.
On the square, countless snow dance troops began to turn and headed towards the Heroes' Square in the city center.
Li Huacheng walked off the platform, looked at the empty presidential palace, looked at the only intact room in sight, and was silent for a while.
"Go and see Tianzong."
He looked at Li Tianlan and spoke calmly.
It's not a question.
Li Tianlan nodded and led the way.
At the funeral of the Snow Dance Legion, if there is a president, there must be a sword emperor, and there must be a sword emperor.
Wang Tianzong is still practicing calligraphy.
Nothing in the outside world seemed to affect him at all.
He stood in front of the table with his pen in hand, so focused.
When Li Tianlan and Li Huacheng walked in, he did not raise his head, but casually said: "Here?"
"Just arrived."
Li Huacheng chuckled, looked at the surrounding environment, and said with a smile: "It seems that you are doing well here."
"It's good to be able to cultivate your body and mind."
Wang Tianzong spoke calmly and wrote calmly.
A lot of rice paper has been scattered in the room, densely packed with light and restrained strokes.
At the end of every word, there is one word.
Li Tianlan quietly looked at the countless pieces of rice paper covered with writing.
There was obviously no sword intent around him, but the power carried in each stroke made him feel out of breath.
