Doctor, I'm really strong!

"Civilization is the fruit of labor, and it is naturally incomparably beautiful."

"I should thank you."

"Thank me?"

"If I hadn't met you, I would never have seen such a sight in my life."

"Not necessarily. History moves forward, and it will happen sooner or later."

"We might not even live to see that day. After all, our world is not stable. If the demons of the far north can be invaders from other realms, then what about other places...?"

Rosetta's appearance was a signal, but also a warning; no one knew what would happen next.

Terra already has enough problems, but how do you imagine what another world would be like?

Ling Ke didn't believe that all the subsequent visitors would be as easy to talk to as Rosetta; there would inevitably be people with ulterior motives.

"This is pressure, but it is also motivation. We need to develop faster so that we can accept challenges with more confidence."

"You're really optimistic."

"After all, crying your eyes out won't solve the problem."

At this point, Liu Jiuli suddenly began to recall when the last time he cried was.

I can't remember, but as an adult, the time when you forget to cry is definitely when you realize that tears can't solve the problem, especially on a helpless and bitter night after working overtime.

It was "voluntary".

"Jiuli".

"Ok?"

Liu Jiuli subconsciously looked at Ling, who suddenly hugged his arm and gently leaned his head against him.

"Thank you."

"What are you thanking me for?"

"I've seen so much because of you, thank you."

"You're welcome."

As the sun sets, people who have finished a day's work walk home, but for many others, this is just the beginning of the day, a time that truly belongs to them.

Chapter 335: Ursus is in complete chaos

(Happy National Day! (～￣▽￣)～)

October 1, 1107, Terra, Community National Day

Long live the community!

Long live the great unity of the people of the world!

Long live the proletariat of the world!

Amid cheers, the Community's steel torrent slowly passed through the People's Square of Steel Grid. After seven years of honing and shaping, the Community had built an armed force unparalleled on the continent of Terra in the time it took for two five-year plans (both of which were completed ahead of schedule, the first two years ahead of schedule and the second one year ahead of schedule).

On the reviewing stand of the Soviet Palace, national leaders such as Liu Jiuli were admiring this loyal, powerful, indomitable, and resilient force. Blessed by a great faith, their resounding steps served as an encouragement to the entire world.

The entire continent of Terra is now in a frenzied technological race initiated by the Community, with a gun pointed at the heads of all feudal and capitalist forces, and no one dares to compete in terms of inferiority.

The worst have already been eliminated. Now, the biggest concern of those who benefited from the old order is where the community will go next, and whether they will really have to spend a day on the guillotine and streetlights.

Talulah, as the apparent number two, stood to Liu Jiuli's right. At that moment, she heard the voice of another version of herself, the Black Serpent Talulah, in her mind.

"Such powerful strength, enough to sweep across the entire world."

Talulah replied, "Yes, conquering the whole world is more than enough. Are you plotting to usurp the throne?"

"Huh? Don't be silly. What's the use of conquering Terra? The Ursus Empire conquered a vast territory back then, but they only managed to establish effective rule over a few areas. This time, we're not only going to liberate the entire Terra, but also turn Terra into a nation! A nation that has never existed in Terra's history before!"

You seem very excited.

"Of course, because Ursus will not only be unified soon, but will also become stronger."

"It is a community."

"It's all the same. Ursus has integrated into the community and become part of a more powerful force. Ursus has also become stronger. This is the new world. The blueprint that Liu Jiuli once described to me has now become a reality."

"If it were the old you, you definitely wouldn't have said that."

“People grow up, and I’m no exception. This time, I’m on Liu Jiuli’s side.”

"You have a tendency to admire the strong."

"So what? The harsh winter of Ursus doesn't believe in tears."

Meanwhile, on the other side of the viewing platform, representatives from several countries were whispering among themselves, their expressions less than pleasant.

It's obvious to everyone that the community's current armed forces are definitely not for guarding the home and property. The dam is already full of water. When the floodgates are opened, where will this torrent rush to?

First, we can identify three targets: the Eastern Kingdom, the Yan Kingdom, and the Ursus Empire.

The people of Dongguo have already given up hope. It's such a small country. When the community crushes it, the only thing they can do is choose a surrender pose that will be more photogenic.

The only powers capable of holding back the community to some extent are the Ursus Empire and the Yan Kingdom.

But now the Ursus Empire has started a civil war, so Yan Kingdom has become the only hope to hold back the community in the east.

"We need to strengthen our support for the Yan Kingdom."

“The land route has been completely blocked by the community, so we can only take the sea route. The problem is the sea lineage.”

"Even if the cost is high, we have to contribute money, effort, and manpower; otherwise, we'll have to face those challenges head-on."

The Colombian representative pointed to the Type 59 on People's Square.

"You all don't want to open the door one day and see the tracks of a Type 59 tank running over you, do you?"

Although the representatives present reached a consensus, the real decision rests with the top levels of the government. They can only hold a meeting here to discuss the matter and offer some suggestions to the country. The rest depends on the attitude of those important figures.

As representatives, there's not much they can do, but at least on the issue of not wanting their streetlights to be hung up, everyone shares the same interest.

National Day is a holiday, but the Ursus Empire has no time or inclination to take one.

"Slay the tyrant!"

"Long live the Ursus Empire!"

"Suppress the traitors!"

"Long live my emperor!"

A civil war between extreme royalists and aristocratic autonomous factions is unfolding across the Ursus Empire, with both sides fighting tooth and nail from the outset.

Because both sides are well aware that if they lose this civil war, they will lose everything.

As for when the neighboring community will attack, neither side has the time to think about it. Maybe the community will kill us all, but right now the emperor/nobles just want to kill me!

The war quickly spread to almost all the cities of the Ursus Empire. For Nikolai, this brutal civil war did have some benefits, namely, that he found true loyalists.

After all, those who stand on the emperor's side when the enemy outnumbers them and their strength is vastly different are truly extreme royalists.

"If I had Liu Jiuli's authority, how could I be so relentlessly besieged by these insects!"

Nikola is now truly envious of Liu Jiuli. He is the founding emperor, the people are united, and his faith is a powerful force. The Terra People's Community is just like the name of the country. Those who join it will truly become a community, striving forward for a common goal.

However, he could not and should not take such a path, because it would mean betraying his class, abandoning everything he had now, smashing his crown and his former beliefs, and embracing a path from which he could not see the future.

As Liu Jiuli said, community is an unthinkable path.

Since it was an unforeseen path, the only option was to proceed cautiously, and Nikolai had to admit that he lacked the courage and boldness to embrace the unknown.

But precisely because of this, Liu Jiuli now possesses nothing of what he once had, and can only solve all problems in the way the Ursus people understand best—violence.

Unfortunately, he also lacked absolute violence; traditional reforms would face traditional resistance, and changing course would mean betraying his class.

The consequences of an emperor betraying his class have already been proven by Tsar Alexander II of Russia.

Your regime's legitimacy is right here; you cannot betray it.

No matter how supreme an emperor is, his authority still depends on the entire bureaucratic group. Even during the Qin and Han dynasties, emperors had their moments of helplessness. Expecting an emperor to reform is simply impossible. Even a wise ruler is a wise ruler who maintains his own rule. He may appear enlightened and progressive on the surface, but he secretly holds power. In the end, the country may seem to have progressed, but it is only on the surface. In essence, it remains the same. If you don't believe me, just ask Thailand.

Even if Nicholas's reforms had succeeded, it would have been nothing more than a cycle of history, and there was a high probability that his policies would have ended with his death, or even that he would have died in an assassination attempt.

Saint-Germain Castle, as the imperial capital and the most prestigious place, remains a place of revelry and prosperity even amidst the turmoil outside.

The aristocratic mansions in the wealthy district continue to revel every night, from night until dawn, as if only in this way can they demonstrate their grandeur and uniqueness.

Avdokya, codename Hongxue, full name Avdokya Nikolaevna Ivanova.

Born into nobility, but that was in the past. Her noble status did not bring her much preferential treatment. Instead, when she was very young, she lost everything due to an accident and accidentally entered the underground city where the Durin people lived. From then on, she no longer identified herself as an Ursus person, but as a fellow Durin person.

Entering Rhodes Island was entirely accidental. As for Rhodes Island's merger into the Red Guards, its poaching by Liu Jiuli, and its eventual integration into the community, those were all part of a series of unexpected events.

The main problem was that the changes happened too fast. For Hongxue, after she entered Rhodes Island, her life trajectory was a chaotic free-for-all, leaving her no time to react.

One day in 1096, I returned from a business trip and heard that the Doctor from Rhodes Island had returned.

Not long after, I heard that the Doctor had left. Then Rhodes Island rushed to Chernobog. Subsequently, many Rhodes Island operators began to assist the reorganized Red Guards. Hongxue joined as a sniper instructor. However, after working for a short time, she was pulled to Lungmen Future Technology as a security officer and began to have heated exchanges with the local gangsters.

Having finally settled things in Lungmen, the community was urgently established due to the uprising in Kiel City, Letania. The war to establish the nation was about to begin, and Hongxue was busy with various tasks. At this time, she had already entered the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Because of her good aptitude and talent in literature and painting, she was very suitable to be an infiltrator infiltrating the aristocratic class, so she began to receive training in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, ready to become a hidden agent at any time.

Then the community won the war, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs began to expand. Veterans like Hong Xue were naturally assigned to mentor newcomers. By the time all these tasks were nearing completion, the community's first five-year plan was finished ahead of schedule.

By 1105, Hongxue's work had finally gotten on track. Under the organization's arrangement, she successfully became a socialite in the Saint-Jun Castle social scene as a fallen noblewoman, captivating countless young men and women.

The effect is absolutely fantastic, exceptionally so.

In terms of style, Hongxue is significantly different from other socialites. She follows the route of an ice queen and is very self-disciplined. In a noble social circle full of scheming women, she is like a breath of fresh air from Siberia.

For those young masters, being able to pick such an icy snow lotus and take it out would be a matter of great prestige.

Moreover, Hongxue was also a writer who knew how to write poetry and paint, which truly represented the most perfect love in the eyes of the nobility.

There's a saying in the Ursus Empire: "A wife is politics, a mistress is true love."

Therefore, many nobles considered it a victory to marry a wife, and then they would each go their own way. They would only truly stand together as husband and wife to discuss matters of interest.

For Hongxue, returning to the Ursus Empire was something she was unwilling to do. After witnessing the depravity of the powerful and wealthy, her only kindness towards them was wishing them to die immediately under the steel torrent of the community.

The pretense of politeness with them now is merely a means to gather intelligence. After all, these young masters and ladies are prone to revealing little-known secrets due to their loose tongues. These secrets may not be detailed, but they will always be revealed in the face of the community's vast intelligence database.
