That night, the small pyramid of Sun City was brightly lit and there were cups of wine. Except for Wen Nan, Karl, and Jiang Zhuyi, all the people who followed Hong Tao from the Jinhe Empire to North America to develop were present, and a large area was full of people.

In the past hour, Hong Tao left the Luo family father and son to celebrate the reunion, and introduced Cimei and Weng Ya to everyone, and officially announced that their family had joined the ranks of developing the New World. In fact, everyone knew each other without introducing them. Although they were the same generation as Luo Meizhou, they were about the same age as Bo Jiao. They followed Hong Tao earlier and belonged to the elders of the Jinhe Empire. They were not considered the second generation of the Jinhe Empire, but should be considered one generation or one and a half generations.

The one who is really unfamiliar with everyone should be Luo Meizhou. Many people, especially craftsmen and sailors, do not know this young man. Luo Meizhou is far less famous in Jinhe City than his father, and is a relatively low-key person. Hong Yu doesn't need to introduce it. She has been riding around Hong Tao's neck since she was a child and ran around the city. She followed her father to eat everywhere for free, and she couldn't help but keep a low profile.

"The purpose of my bringing you here is not to create another Golden River Empire, nor to be dissatisfied with the Golden River Empire, so I have pulled everyone to start a new job. Everyone must remember this. There is nothing in the empire that I am sorry for us. We have paid a lot for it, but this kind of effort is not to be able to take all the power into our own hands in the future and be superior to others. We build the empire just to give a more comfortable and safer home for future generations. Now that we have done it, the empire has indeed given us a reward. What else can we complain about?"

"Then someone might ask, since you are satisfied with the empire, why do you still secretly run out to establish your own country? Isn't this betrayal? For those who have such questions, I will say it again. Neither of me nor everyone betrays my own country. The country is just an organization formed by us for life together. It serves each of us, not our burden. There is only a contractual relationship between us individuals and countries."

"The state gives us the protection we deserve, and we create wealth for the country. This contract is not a contract for sale. As long as one party feels it can be terminated, it can be terminated at any time. When I was teaching in the navigation school, I told the students more than once that I should feel life with my heart and choose life with my feet. This is life. When conditions permit, everyone has the right to choose their own lifestyle and place. Now I and you all have decided to start a new life here, which has nothing to do with treason or not."

"The Jinhe Empire is our former motherland. The Song Dynasty, Kalamba, Zhenla, Dayue, Japan, even Cape Town, Daqin, Dashi, and many other countries that I have not mentioned may be the former motherlands. Even I am not born from the Jinhe Empire. The country is like a business. One can go bankrupt today and one can be created tomorrow. Everyone in this world has the freedom to resign from one business to another business to work."

"I have said so much nonsense, and there is only one purpose, to make everyone right from the heart and understand our current state. We come here to create a country, not to oppose the Jinhe Empire, nor to create overseas territory for the Jinhe Empire. We are us, and we have no natural and inevitable connection with other countries."

"But people have feelings. I think the Jinhe Empire is my motherland, and I also hope it will become rich and strong day by day. After all, I and you are their people, and many people still have relatives in the empire, including myself. But there is a prerequisite, that is, to live our own lives first, so that we can worry about others, even if we are relatives. Otherwise, we will worry about it if we can't help, and it will cause trouble."

"Okay, speaking of this, I need everyone to express their opinions. Can you understand this relationship? If someone says that I live for the Golden River Empire, or that I live to avenge the empire, please raise your hand. The former will send him back to Cape Town, and the latter will send him back to any place he wants to go. Repaying kindness and revenge are not needed in our Spring Alliance. We only live our own lives, build our own small kingdom, and have an alliance that can share everyone's worries, which is enough!" After the family talk, Hong Tao stood up and stepped onto a wooden bed. This was the one who was sleeping in the past, and was moved from the upper floor to serve as a seat, and now it has become his podium again. He wants to unify his thoughts, unify his understanding, and draw cakes for everyone to fool people.

"I have no grudge with the Empire, but I think about the Empire. If there were no Empire and Your Majesty, my father and I might still be slave soldiers. But since I was a child, my father taught me that when I grew up, I must have my own army and territory. Later, Your Majesty told me that people must do what they want to do when they live, otherwise they will be the same as pigs. I think what Your Majesty and My Dad said is right, it was right before, and now it is not wrong. If the Empire is in trouble, I will find a way to help, but if the Empire wants to take away my kingdom and bully my people, I am sorry, I don't care about others, I will not agree anyway."

Swan was particularly happy today, and compassion was half of his teacher and friend. Although Luo Meizhou was not very familiar with Luo Youde, Luo Meizhou was almost his godfather, so Luo Meizhou was naturally not an outsider. In addition, Weng Ya, who was more manly than a man, and Hong Yu, who was like a tomboy, all had a temper with him. Friends came from afar, and it was a pleasure to drink a few more drinks. After hearing Hong Tao's words, he understood and agreed 100%. According to his temper, he naturally had to stand up and express his opinion.

"General Swan, what if there is your father's army in the army sent by the Empire?" Otherwise, they can make sense of whatever you say. Swan's speech did not get applause, but someone asked him questions and planned to see his jokes.

"Who said it! Don't hide, stand up, I'll smash you to death!" Swann's mouth was not too stupid, but he always liked to use another organ.

"I'd better help Swan answer. Actually, this question should be asked me, what should I do if my son brought the Imperial Army to steal our territory." Hong Tao threw out a core and accurately hit Swan's head, stopping his attempt to take action. Instead of asking Swan to answer this question that was not well-behaved, it would be better to answer it for him, and at the same time he could also clarify his other point of view.

"First of all, we father and son will chat. I have to ask him if he has to come. If they don't rob the place, they can't survive. Then he will also ask me if I have to resist to the end and if I surrender to the empire, I can't survive. If our father and son's answers are yes, then don't say anything and start fighting. This is not a war between father and son, it is a national war."

"For ordinary people, this is a tragedy, a father and son are slaughtering each other. But for the kings of two countries, it doesn't matter who the other party is, what matters is the country. My son is the emperor of the empire, and his job is to make the empire stronger and stronger; I am the king of the Kingdom of Mexica and a member of the Spring Alliance. My job is to build my country well and fulfill the agreements between the kingdom and the alliance."

"Stand in our position, we cannot consider too many personal feelings, because we carry the fate of thousands of people. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that is the most ruthless imperial family. This sentence is correct at all, because the nature of the work of the emperor determines that he cannot put his personal feelings above the country. If I betray my own country because the invader is my son, then wouldn't I betray my king? If my son betrayed the empire because I am his father, can the empire betray him?"

"But then again, why do you have to wait until a situation of father and son terror happens before worrying? This situation can be avoided in advance. How to avoid it is actually very simple, that is, to improve our own abilities. When the Spring Alliance and the Jinhe Empire are equal in strength, will the empire still easily chew this hard bone? I don't think so, because the country's expansion requires cost calculations. My son can't not come to beat me just because I am his father. By the same token, my son can't come to beat me just because I am his father."

"Even if he wants, the Imperial Parliament will not agree. This is the original intention of my determination to come up with this set of rules. Don't place the fate of the entire country on one person, a small group of people, this is very dangerous to yourself and the country, and it is also dangerous to other countries. When the countries around you regard your country as a potential danger, then your situation will be very difficult. Well, who else has any questions? Now, you will have no such store after passing this village. Even if you want to, you may not be able to find me. I will definitely be very busy these days." These words are not only explanations, but also advice. Many of the people here have not been emperors and kings, and their understanding of this special job is definitely not enough. Before they are about to become kings, it is best to give a vaccination in advance.

"What Your Majesty said is reasonable, but we are all in the sea and are hard-won. There shouldn't be so many wars." This time, Qi Zu spoke out. He, a man who specializes in developing muskets and artillery, is actually a pacifist. His understanding of war is still in the stage where people do not offend me and I do not offend others.

"Hey, have you seen it? Uncle Qi is a typical example! It is not just a person, but a mainstream view. Among the people here, there are probably many people who hold this idea. Every time at this time, a person named the ancients will come out and say that if you are wary, you will die, and if you forget to fight, you will be in danger... Maybe this is what it means? Who knows the original text of this sentence, I can't remember it."

Today, the people are the most together and come back victoriously. Everyone is very enthusiastic. Hong Tao plans to take this good opportunity to explain some things to everyone, which can be regarded as his advice to these people and his predictions for the future.
