"We are about to create a new era, an era that belongs to us, no matter it is the best or the worst."
Every soldier and civilian in Heping City was immersed in Xiao Ming's speech, and all raised their right hands high, "y" The gesture pointing directly to the sky has become the best comment on this new era.
That night, the negotiating team stayed overnight in the City of Peace.
This was the opinion of the Supreme Committee: Xiao Ming would not return to the capital for the time being, but would launch a tour of the four major steam cities, and by the way start a publicity campaign for his inauguration as President of the Republic.
Xiao Ming naturally has to obey.
Even if he becomes president, he cannot be above the Supreme Council.
The political system of the Republic is similar to democratic centralism, in which the minority obeys the majority.
In order to welcome Xiao Ming's arrival, Heping City held a grand bonfire dance.
Since there is a lot of waste to be renovated and everything is economized, all collective activities in the Republic only provide drinking water and no food.
Although materials are scarce, the spirit of the majority of soldiers and civilians is sufficient and joyful.
They dance in pairs to the rhythmic music.
Couple Xiao Ming and Wan Ruo became the most sought-after dance partners.
Girls and boys lined up to invite them to dance, feeling proud to dance with the commander-in-chief and his wife.
The dance ended on time at nine o'clock, and the lights in the city were turned off on time at nine-thirty.
Under the escort of a team of guards, Xiao Ming and his wife arrived at the residential area on both sides of the railway track.
Originally, they could go back to live on the train, but they seemed to have to live in a residential area to experience life in a steam city and share the joys and sorrows with the people.
These tin houses are rusty on the outside, but relatively clean on the inside.
The walls are insulated, have uniform water heating, the temperature is suitable, and you can take hot showers, which makes them feel like home.
The insulation layer blocked out the smell of engine oil and the cold and humid air in the outside air, but the sound insulation was not very good, and the roar of the steam engine lingered in my ears.
It is not easy to fall asleep in such an environment.
No wonder the workers in the Steam City are deaf and cannot even sleep peacefully.
Although they were very tired from dancing, Xiao Ming and Wan Ruo were not sleepy at all.
They could finally stay alone together.
What was even more rare was that Rose was not around, so they returned from the world of three to the world of two.
"Husband, where is our daughter?"
Wan Ruang asked with some difficulty.
In fact, she didn't see her daughter and quilt on the train, and she already had an ominous premonition.
If her husband hadn't been surrounded by people, she would have asked.
"Wife, daughter, she" Xiao Ming had been preparing for this moment for a long time, but when faced with his wife's clear eyes, he suddenly collapsed and said in a low voice, "She is gone."
"What does it mean?"
She asked in despair.
Of course she knew what it meant, but she still had a glimmer of hope.
"Our daughter, Mei Ruo, has left this world."
Xiao Ming couldn't bear to tell this cruel fact, and his originally calm heart felt another pinching pain.
"What did you say?"
Wan Ruang seemed to not believe his ears.
He looked at her husband blankly and murmured, "This is not true.
This is not true."
Xiao Ming was heartbroken when he saw his wife's appearance: "Honey, I also hope this is not true."
Wanruo suddenly wailed: "Meiruo, my good daughter, give me back my daughter, give me back."
She went crazy, scratching and biting her husband as if he was the murderer.
Xiao Ming remained motionless, hoping that the physical pain could replace the mental pain.
Wanruo finally stopped, hugged her husband and cried loudly: "Our daughter is gone like this."
Xiao Ming not only comforted his wife, but also comforted himself: "While a person is alive, it is a good thing that his mother's suffering daughter will not experience this cruel world and will go directly to heaven."
The couple hugged each other and cried.

If it hadn't been covered up by the roar of the steam engine, it would have alerted the neighbors.
Of course, the guards outside heard it.
The whole night, the couple barely slept.
Xiao Ming told his wife exactly what happened in Berlin, especially the part related to his daughter.
Just as she heard that her husband almost died in the hive in order to find clues about her daughter, she hugged him heartbrokenly: "Husband, you are worthy of your daughter.
If Meiquan knows better, she will also be pleased with everything you have done for her."
When she heard the cause of her daughter's death, she burst into tears again: "My poor daughter, my mother is sorry for you.
Since I brought you into this world, I have never let you enjoy a single day of happiness."
Finally, when she heard that her daughter's body had been cremated, she couldn't help but lament: "Husband, why didn't you think of letting me see my daughter for the last time?"
Of course Xiao Ming remembered that his original intention was the same, and muttered: "My daughter looks so miserable.
I was worried that you would be even more sad after seeing it, so..."
Now that things have come to this, Wan Ruang can no longer blame her husband, so the couple cried again.
The next day, the couple put aside their grief for their daughter, steeled themselves and performed their duties.
Xiao Ming was fine, just like a young woman who couldn't stay up late at night.
No matter how much she put on makeup, she couldn't hide the tiredness on her face.
The morning itinerary was to visit the steam factory, accompanied by publicists and commentators, and the whole process was videotaped, which was to be broadcast as news of the Republic.
The couple walked among the huge and bulky steam machines, as if they were entering a world of mechanical giants.
Rough and spectacular gears, bearings, knobs, pipes, and pressure rafts could be seen everywhere, which was daunting.
Especially those pipe joints that spray white steam, which make people stay away.
The couple entered the workshop.
Compared with the complex structure outside, the inside was simple and tidy.
In the tall and spacious space, production lines are neatly arranged.
Workers in each link are working nervously and orderly.
Various daily necessities are walking down the assembly line.
According to the commentator, the steam factory extracts pollution-free groundwater, introduces steam engines, converts the energy of steam into mechanical energy, and drives large machines for production.
Since the Republic had just taken over the City of Steam, factories producing industrial products were not affected, while factories producing crops had to be replanted and cultivated.
Therefore, the vast number of soldiers and civilians on the ground had to survive a three-month lean period.
Xiao Ming's heart was heavy because of the heavy burden on his shoulders.
It is said that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, but his ability is not directly proportional to his responsibility.
He can barely manage the army, but he can barely manage the country.
Wan Ruo sensed her husband's guilty conscience and suddenly whispered to him: "Husband, no one is born to be a leader.
You are the people of the Republic and our daughter.
As long as you try your best, no matter what the result is, at least you have a clear conscience." " Xiao Ming was cheered up.
His wife was right.
There is an old saying.
Princes, generals, and ministers would rather be rich.
As long as you have the world in mind and the common people in mind, what can't you do to be the president of the Republic?
At noon, the couple and the workers ate a simple lunch box, in which the most nutritious ingredient was maggot powder.
Xiao Ming gave another impromptu speech.
Now that Sally was not around, he had to rely on himself to write all the speech notes.
He learned to think through what he was going to say in advance, instead of saying it as he thought before.
In the afternoon, the couple inspected the army garrison.
Xiao Wu, Fatty and Jing Chun, who stayed on the train, also visited to see how Blade manages the army.
The Blade Special Forces has expanded from 500 to 2,000 people.
They are wearing black special forces uniforms and are training on the playground.

The four major steam cities taken over by the Republic all have garrisons.
The other three cities are garrisoned: the 3rd Division from the capital, the 4th Division and the 5th Division from Base 2.
The mayors of each city are temporarily under the command of the garrison.
Concurrently serving as an official.
As for the troops guarding the capital, only the First Division, the Second Division and the Xiaoming Army remained.
Since the two countries have reached an armistice agreement, the garrison's primary enemy is the White-eyed Nuclear Corpse.
Xiao Ming first climbed to the observation deck of the military camp and could see a large number of small groups of nuclear corpses wandering around the outskirts of Peace City.
He suddenly thought of a question and asked Dao Feng who was accompanying him: "What should we do if we don't have enough exorcism agent?"
As the part-time mayor of Peace City, Dao Feng naturally understood the situation and frowned slightly: "We can't produce exorcism, so we can only exchange the product with the Empire.
Their prices are quite bad."
Xiao Ming revealed his worries.
Not only was the Republic burdened with huge foreign debt from the Empire to buy the City of Steam, but it also had to endure the price exploitation of the other party's monopoly products.
It must find a way to get the formula for the exorcist.
Next, Dao Feng accompanied everyone to observe the training of special forces.
Xiao Ming noticed that their training methods were quite unique.
They arranged different battlefield terrains on the playground and carried out all-round training including grappling, armed swimming, rock climbing and rappelling, and live ammunition shooting, which was close to actual combat.
Blade proudly introduced that the threshold for the Blade Special Forces is very high.
Each soldier must undergo a half-month devil's training before qualified ones can join, and those who are eliminated will be sent back to the original unit.
Although the training is brutal, it places great emphasis on team spirit and a sense of belonging.
Once a soldier joins, he or she must serve for life.
Family-style management is adopted to ensure that the combat skills, combat effectiveness and morale of each special soldier become a model in the military.
Xiao Ming's mind moved, thinking of the secret police's special training camp, and then he thought that such training would be too bloody and cruel, so he might as well not mention it.
In the evening, Xiao Ming and his party got on the train and headed to the next stop, Liberty City, while Baiyan Nuclear Corpse rested at night.
The couple has a separate box.
The air-cushion maglev train has strong stability and no noise, so they can have a solid sleep.
It seemed like I hadn't slept for almost a day and a night, but I tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.
Seeing that Xiao Ming was about to fall asleep, he suddenly sat up and shook his body: "Husband, wake up, I have something to ask you."
Xiao Ming opened his eyes drowsily and rubbed his eyes: "Honey, what's the matter?"
Wanruo hesitated for a moment before saying, "I have a feeling that our daughter is not dead."
"What did you say?"
Xiao Ming suddenly woke up:
