When I got off the train and stepped into this city, I felt a warmth that was completely different from the snow outside.
Of course, it's not that it's summer inside, but it's probably minus two or thirty degrees outside the city, but it's obviously only a few degrees here. Even the cold wind that occasionally blows in from outside is still biting.
Looking up, looking towards the center of the city is the first tower that towers into the clouds. The firelight emitting from it brings warmth and precious sunshine to this snowy land.
Floor heating? Or ley lines? It's a technology I haven't seen before, or it could be just catching an extraordinary firebird.
"Welcome, welcome!! Your Highness Lu. Mr. Lu, you have worked hard on your journey!"
Looking at the fawning middle-aged man in front of him, Lu Ping'an also smiled. After all, everyone else had a ceremonial team, a red carpet and flowers, so he had to give him some face.
After accepting the flowers from the JK girl who smiled very stiffly, Lu Pingping did not embarrass the person who picked up the car.
However, Lu Pingan touched his chin. This girl seemed to be a famous girl idol before. She was frozen here wearing a miniskirt and holding a flower face.
And this greeter seems to be a very famous artist. Is this reemployment based on resume? Are those playing drums also professional drummers? Forget it, it feels more and more wrong the more I talk about it.
Lu Pingan got into the car directly. He was too lazy to understand what these twisted and miserable refugees were thinking.
This time the target is the New Tokyo City Hall Conference Hall.
".Is everyone else here?"
"We're almost here. You came relatively late."
Lu Ping'an chatted with the receptionist for a while, but he was also a little interested in this new Tokyo. He had heard a lot of rumors, but this was the first time he came in person.
This is southern Siberia. In theory, it is the territory of the Red Star Republic. In fact, they have not taken care of it for a long time. It is too far away. Dongguo spent some money and resources to build a development zone and tourist area here, and they got it.
The one-hundred-year lease essentially gave me control over this place.
For ordinary people, this is not a good place because it is too cold and too remote. The only advantage is probably that it is not really in the East.
".You have enough fun, but Dongguo is also bad enough."
Is there really nothing here? Siberia’s natural gas and mineral resources are among the best in the world.
It's just that now it's joint development, and the Sakurajima people who grow potatoes and do the work themselves only get wages, while the shareholders are Hongxing and Dongguo. They provide money, technology, resources and even land, so they naturally get shares.
Big head.
However, their ethnic group is still willing to invest in building a city in the vast snow, perhaps just for the title of "New Tokyo".
Currently, this city has a population of less than 300,000, and a considerable number of them are not the victims of Sakurajima refugees, but expatriates of Sakurajima origin who returned from overseas.
In a sense, this is the government-in-exile, but no one recognizes it, and they themselves dare not claim it.
At least 90% of Sakurajima's population has been integrated into the new towns and industrial cities in the northern and western parts of Tokuni. The best of them have also obtained work passports leading to the interior of Tokoku.
Many of them have understood the situation and chosen the future rationally.
However, there are always people who are obsessed with the glory of the past and even hope to take back Sakurajima and hand it over to the people of Sakurajima. Even the people of Leden Peninsula dare not think of such a thing.
By the way, the people of the Peninsula were quite realistic when the situation was not good. They quickly integrated into the East Kingdom, causing the number of mixed Koreans in the East Kingdom to increase many times.
"We have really defeated and conquered it. It must have returned to the Eastern Kingdom."
This is a future that everyone can see, but there are always people who pretend not to see it.
The East Kingdom did not push too hard. Although a minority called the "Sakura Tribe" had already appeared in the East Kingdom's national system, it still acquiesced to their actions to build a new Tokyo in this ice and snow.
Geographically, this is the Red Star. In terms of administrative organization, this is the joint development of the Eastern Kingdom's borders, an oversized mining area and ranch. And spiritually, this is the new Tokyo of Sakurajima people.
It seems to be a hidden danger. Indeed, Dongguo doesn't want to push them too hard.
"Long time no see, Mr. Sakata."
"Hehe, I can see your tower from a long way away. It looks like it's not far away."
"Your Excellency Shan Wen is hospitalized again. Did he run back to his hometown alone? It would be good if he came back alive."
Along the way, after entering the venue, Lu Pingan kept dealing with "acquaintances".
The people of Sakurajima have indeed lost a lot, but they have retained some things that are hard to buy. These high-level combat capabilities, these powerful men above the gold level, are a huge wealth, and at the same time, they are also a factor of instability.
In fact, it makes no difference where these big guys live, but they are still restrained here by their own people and blood.
In Lu Ping'an's view, the current practices of the Dongguo people are the most advanced.
On the one hand, showing kindness to low-end ordinary people, giving them the temptation of "integration" and "equal treatment", allowing them to choose for themselves, even these quasi-gods from Sakurajima in front of them cannot stop their own people from pursuing a better life and
In the future.
On the other hand, if the invaders from the outside world are regarded as imaginary enemies, then these high-level combat forces will naturally be driven by Dongguo. To be precise, they begged Dongguo to send troops to conquer Sakurajima, and even actively participated in the battles of grassroots soldiers, just to fight for the sake of peace.
Refugees have a favorable impression.
It is simple and direct to benefit the lower ones and hate the upper ones. There is no trace of active interference. Regardless of whether they are ordinary refugees or those top combat forces, both morally and openly, they all have to thank Dongguo.
of tolerance and righteousness.
"Mr. Lu, I don't know when Dongguo will launch a major counterattack this time."
"Yes, Your Highness, can we play any role? If so, we hope to be a forward."
Most of the people here are fanatics seeking war, and they probably know better than the people of the East. If they cannot return to their homeland in ten years, there is actually no hope for them in this life.
Lu Pingan sighed, you only have a population of over one million, why are you still engaging in divisions, factions, surrenders, and internal strife? Lu Pingan knew that the one in front of him called "counterattack on the mainland" was the most ruthless, and he was even hostile to Lu Pingan, an outsider from the East.
Yes, I have actually voted for Wanjing and even obtained a Dongguo identity card.
Currently, there are only over a million people in the Sakurajima bloodline. This is the largest population agglomeration, and at the same time, it is also the last holdout of the die-hards.
But there are still some people who can't stand the environment, low wages, and relaxed working environment here, and choose better cities. Most of the work here is related to resource collection, and they must go deep into the snowfields outside the city and often even enter the frozen soil, even if
Even with protective clothing, people often freeze to death.
Now it is a modern country. Unlike those strong men in the outer world, the top strong men on the earth are just members of the common people and cannot forcibly order their own people to stay in the snowy land.
It can be seen with the naked eye that if this continues, the Sakurajima people, who already have a small population, will be dragged into and annexed, but there is nothing they can do.
In a sense, many people look at this new Tokyo like they look at the 38th parallel drawn on a child's desk. Even if they shout "Don't come over, this is my territory", it will only make people look at it with sympathy and pity.
Look over here.
In the end, the children's play will stop here, the dreams of the past will finally wake up, and the people here will have to accept the facts. But before that, it won't hurt if they do a little bit.
"Everyone, I have brought news about Wan Jing." But this time, they can't let them play house here anymore.
