Chapter 1820 Brave Heart
Wasteland, Washington, DC, White House.
To be precise, it is the ruins of the White House.
This is a grey ruin, with only a few solid pillars left in the broken building, and the cracked roads are like scars of the earth. Weeds and vines emerge from the broken concrete floor, and they climb up to the heights through broken windows or broken roofs to enjoy the breeze, sunshine and rain.
"Compared with nature, humans are nothing." Zhou Qingfeng stood in front of the south lawn of the White House, and the landmark with a big gap opened and grinned and laughed silently at him, as if mocking everything he did was meaningless.
There were dozens of people gathered behind Zhou Qingfeng, and further away were a large number of security personnel. No matter what kind of intentions they had, everyone was in a heavy mood at this moment. Most of them walked to the White House for the first time, but they saw the scene of destruction in the end of the world.
The White House is surrounded by the core of America, Capitol Hill, Lincoln Memorial, George Washington University, Freedom Square, etc. These buildings are historical relics left over over two hundred years and are now almost completely destroyed.
Zhou Qingfeng walked along a temporarily opened road to the south lawn, where a simple podium and corresponding seat were arranged. He raised his legs and walked up to the podium, while dozens of people following him sat in front of him.
After a glance, Zhou Qingfeng took a deep breath. Even though he had always been bold and willful, he was a little nervous at this moment. Because the next moment would determine the next century or even a thousand years of history. Being able to push the wheel of history with his own hands is the power of a great man.
But if you can't push it, you will be ruined and turn into ashes in a blink of an eye.
"Everyone, I'm glad you're here today. When we gather together, we represent a general trend, a general trend for peace. It is not determined by the will of a certain person or a certain group, it is the expectation of all mankind now."
Everyone who sat down had a smile on his face and listened quietly to Zhou Qingfeng's speech. Among them were Angelina Lawrence, who was responsible for managing Washington, DC, Adams's Coronation from Salt Lake City, the Baath Party and Incredible Envoy, who are currently hostile to each other, and the Masonic President of the Far From Seattle.
These dozens of people are the superiors who control the fate of tens of millions of people in North America's wasteland. Any decisions have a huge impact. Today they gathered together as a special meeting of the North American Security Summit. It was the local ruler Anji who was responsible for convening this meeting.
Among the people present, Zhou Qingfeng's figure was the most dazzling. It was precisely because he was willing to attend this meeting that all the big men in North America had to buy face. At this moment, he was standing in front of the cold and dark ruins of the White House, but he was as bright as the holy brilliance of heaven.
An Ji, who was sitting at the lower head, looked at Zhou Qingfeng and was fascinated. The posture of the girl Huaichun was undoubtedly revealed. Others were also listening, not daring to let go of his words - with the current strength of the Aurora Legion and the status of Mr. Zhou, he was qualified to gain the respect of everyone.
"In the past three and a half years, we have experienced the greatest suffering in human history. In the past six months, we have also experienced the greatest happiness since suffering.
We relied on the huge commercial logistics channels to rebuild the agricultural production and mining system. We restarted the financial industry, restored the communication industry, and recreated the medical and health care and social security industry. All of this is the result of our joint efforts. Of course, I have made the greatest contribution."
When everyone heard the last sentence, they laughed and applauded. A large number of reporters and videographers were busy all the time, and Zhou Qingfeng on the podium seemed confident and humorous.
Waiting for a moment to stop laughing, Zhou Qingfeng continued to laugh and said, "Precisely because I have made great contributions, there were rumors not long ago that I would join forces with various North American forces to recommend me as the Emperor of the Holy American Empire."
Hahaha..., the laughter of everyone below was fucked and awkward. Everyone was caught off guard. No one expected that at the moment when the leaders met together, Zhou Qingfeng would put up this topic.
Zhou Qingfeng sneered and glanced at the audience, and asked softly: "You all know this news, are you surprised, unbelievable, unable to make decisions, reluctant and afraid, right? Yes..., I was frightened too."
Hahaha... Everyone's emotions were driven by Zhou Qingfeng and were happy again. When he wanted others to be happy, others would laugh; when he wanted others to be embarrassed, others would suffer; when he wanted others to be embarrassed, others would be sad. And he was calm and generous on the podium.
"Half a year ago, the first North American Security Summit was held in Salt Lake City. At that time, big names were popular with all kinds of shiny prefixes before their titles.
I retreated in this bragging competition because I really didn't know how to brag. So I simply missed a sacred American empire and appointed myself as emperor. As a result, this unexpected approach made me win!"
Hahaha..., everyone laughed again.
"Now someone told me that I can turn this dream into reality."
Hahaha..., everyone started to complain secretly again.
Zhou Qingfeng paused for about ten seconds, observing the expressions of the big guys or special envoys in front of him, everything was expected.
He continued: "I thought it was a joke at first. Because I could sense the danger behind this kind of slaughter, I thought to myself, 'How could anyone really want me to be the emperor?'"
Zhou Qingfeng's eyes swept over the American Baath Party and the special envoys sent by Incredley. The two opponents who were indisputable were very embarrassed. This time they unanimously expressed their willingness to support "Victor Hugo as the emperor". Zhou Qingfeng's words also said, "I have seen through you for a long time."
"The Emperor of Holy America sounds very majestic, but when I think about it carefully, there is no benefit at all. I will not have any power or resources for this, but will only bear heavy burdens and responsibilities. When I see this kind of recommendation, I thought to myself: I am not stupid, so I won't do such things."
Speaking of this, Zhou Qingfeng paused again. He took out two thin pages of paper from his top pocket, spread them on the podium, looked at the handwriting on it with a gentle expression, and said in a deep voice: "But I received a letter not long ago, and this letter changed my mind."
When Zhou Qingfeng teased himself, everyone was very relaxed. But when he heard another letter coming out to change Zhou Qingfeng's thoughts, everyone began to worry again.
Zhou Qingfeng looked at the handwriting on the letter paper and whispered: "Dear Victor, please forgive me for taking the liberty of writing this letter. I originally never wanted to have any interaction with you again, but some recent situations have made me extremely worried. I can only hope for some things.
I love America, but it has been dismembered. I love the people here, but they cannot feel my kindness. In North America, power is scattered and barriers are distinct. Life at the top has become very luxurious, but the bottom is still suffering.
There are a large number of vicious cases in various states in North America, but the police can do nothing to them if the criminals only need to change places. Officials are corrupt and no one can investigate them. In order to fight for power, countless people are using any means.
The influx of a large number of cheap goods has indeed improved the lives of ordinary people, but the entire social atmosphere is rapidly corrupting. In the face of material desires and power, everyone obeys it and becomes slaves who have lost their souls and principles.
Victor, you don't know how much I hate you. I know that all this is brought by you, and you are the one who opened Pandora's box. It is you who spread greed, hatred, selfishness, arrogance, and jealousy throughout the wasteland, and everything is the sin you committed.
I know you have some extraordinary abilities, and I also know that your cold blood and cruelty are outrageous. But now I can only ask you to stand up and end all this. Because only you can close Pandora's box, and only you can save the world.
I know what you want, so let it go and fight. Be the emperor and build the divine America. As long as you can make peace truly come, all power and glory can belong to you.
Please, please stand up bravely and bear your responsibilities. I will pray for you, praying that you will end the suffering of this world early.”
After reading the short letter, Zhou Qingfeng straightened his back and looked forward with his head raised. He sneered and proudly asked loudly to the bosses of the dozens of North American wastelands below: "I am very ashamed. Even I myself did not realize that I was actually put on such expectations.
I thought about it for several days, and my mood was sometimes magnificent and sometimes as quiet as water. I am very happy that someone used this method to encourage me. She made me bravely face a question I avoided for a long time - what exactly did I come to this world to do?
