With Caesar's drawn-out call, there was a public uproar around the Empire State Building, bundles of cannon salutes were fired again, and fireworks were brilliant tonight.
The outer wall of the banquet hall on the second floor slowly opens up, like a lotus blooming, and a 360-degree transparent balcony is set up in the sky, turning the hall into a transparent venue.
All the distinguished guests in the hall stood up one after another and applauded in the direction of the main entrance.
The leaders were none other than the four consuls of the Senate.
The camera showed a close-up of the faces of a group of four people.
Seeing the four supreme rulers of the empire appearing at the same time, the crowd was excited and shouted in unison: "Long live the empire, long live xism" Their slogans were drowned out by the salutes, because the theme tonight was peace, not war.
Although patriotism is also needed in peacetime, it is undeniable that war is the biggest catalyst for patriotism.
In the area around the Empire State Building, the lights suddenly dimmed and the voices gradually became quiet, but Xiao Ming and Sally still did not show up.
Two sets of lights turned on, a white light shone on the red carpet leading to the main entrance, and a set of soft lights illuminated the four archons.
They were willing to be green leaves, paving the way for the protagonist's appearance.
Such high courtesy is not only because Xiao Ming's status is equivalent to the leader of another country, but also to wash away the impression in the public mind that the two countries are enemies, and to show the greatest sincerity of the empire.
No matter how much performance there is in this sincerity, no matter whether others believe it or not, at least the public at the scene believed it.
All eyes were focused on the end of the red carpet in one place.
The crowd suddenly became excited, and a man and a woman appeared on the giant electronic screen: the man was wearing a straight grass-green general uniform, with a big hat under his left arm, and a man and woman holding a hat on his right arm.
The women in white skirts walked slowly on the red carpet, it was Xiao Ming and Sally.
Several beams of light of different colors chased them from different angles.
This unique and carefully arranged appearance won a wave of applause from the public.
Caesar's voice-over suddenly increased several degrees, and he devoted his praises to the empire's former enemies without hesitation: "Our distinguished guest has arrived, and we saw a legendary hero who staged a modern fairy tale from slave to general. , realizing every man’s ultimate dream, with a kingdom on his left hand and a beauty on his right hand.
He was hailed as the Son of Freedom by his people, and he was called the Undefeated God of War by his army."
While maintaining a friendly smile, Xiao Ming murmured in his heart: "I have never heard of the Sons of Liberty and the Undefeated God of War.
They must have been made up by Caesar.
These two titles are good and sound very loud.
He is worthy of being a leader.
He is openly creating momentum for himself on the enemy's stage, but isn't he afraid of arousing the suspicion of the secret police?"
Caesar talked endlessly, compiling a series of more ostentatious halos for Xiao Ming, such as "Cinderella Man" and "Falled Male Angel".
The more he spoke, the more outrageous he became.
Even words like "girl killer" and "young wife nemesis" popped up.
In sharp contrast to the previous grand introduction, it turned into ridicule.
Finally, he said: "He is the Republic."
The commander-in-chief of the armed forces, General Xiao Ming" The public burst into laughter, but the women present responded enthusiastically, screaming with excitement one after another.
Xiao Ming felt relieved.
This was Caesar's hosting style, which was enough to dispel any doubts about him.
In order to match his reputation as "girl killer" and "young wife nemesis", Xiao Ming would whisper to Sally from time to time, while she would smile from time to time and rub her ears and temples with him, making people's eyes warm and their hearts beating.
Behind this intimate gesture was a serious conversation between the two: "Teacher, why do I feel a little uneasy?
This is too grand.
How can I get out?"
"Don't worry, nothing will go wrong.
Stay for a while, just drink until you're drunk."
Xiao Ming was naturally not drunk, so he took anti-alcoholic medicine beforehand.
For tonight's action, he, Xiao Wu and Sally made careful arrangements, which can be said to be flawless.
The two entered the banquet hall, and the applause thundered again.
Caesar was already guarding the door: "Ambassador Sally, can you borrow your general for a few minutes?
I want to interview him."
Sally let go of Xiao Ming's arm generously: "It's up to you."
This celebration reception was not only broadcast live throughout the Fourth Reich, but also connected television signals to the Republic.

I believe Rose and Wanruo might be jealous after seeing this scene.
Only Xiao Ming knows best that the Empire stage tonight is destined to be occupied by people from the Republic.
Thinking of the intelligence provided by Caesar, he had many questions, but at this moment when the two were face to face, they could not speak freely.
This was the price of hiding.
The whole place fell silent again.
Every time these two god-like men came into contact, there were always thought-provoking sparks.
What will happen this time?
The electronic screen turned and a close-up of Caesar appeared: "General Xiao Ming, may I ask, how do you feel at this moment?"
The camera switched to a close-up of Xiao Ming: "I am very happy that we have reached an armistice agreement with your country's Senate.
I sincerely hope that our two countries will cherish this hard-won peace and maintain it together for as long as possible."
Caesar narrowed his eyes and revealed a meaningful tone: "It's true, people are always obsessed with what they don't get, but they don't cherish what they have now.
General, you now have almost everything a man wants, shouldn't you cherish it?
" Xiao Ming's heart skipped a beat, and he felt that Caesar had made a pun, and was secretly knocking him.
He needed to respond positively to show his intentions: "Mr.
Caesar, as you just introduced me, I went from being a slave to a general, from having nothing to having everything.
I cherish everything I have now, but I cherish my faith even more.
It is this faith that supports me through the most desperate and darkest moments.
Without it, I am nothing, and everything I have will be nothing.
It makes no sense."
Caesar pressed forward step by step: "Oh general, what is your belief?
Isn't it freedom?
It seems like you already have it."
Xiao Ming looked at the other party squarely and shook his head slowly: "Freedom is just one of them.
I will always remember my father's advice to me: almost everyone will go through a dark period, and you will feel that God has abandoned you.
But , after you have experienced the worst encounter, you will find that there is nothing worse than this.
No matter how bad it is, this is life.
It is not a big deal.
In this world, there is no obstacle that cannot be overcome.
As long as you live, The belief in hope is hope.”
"Hope" Caesar muttered to himself, unknowingly entering the situation created by Xiao Ming.
Everyone at the scene, every audience watching the live broadcast, was deeply touched.
Almost all adults have experienced this stage of life.
Xiao Ming's voice spread into everyone's heart: "Yes, I hope that even when we have nothing, we still have one thing in our hearts, and that is hope.
Everyone's hope is different, maybe love, hate, maybe wealth , freedom, and rights.
For me, my hope is not to give up hope and not to give up any hope, even if there is only a glimmer of hope
