Bloody Heart

【1】

"In view of the situation that has developed since the establishment of the independent/state/country/union/community, I cease my activities as the President of the USSR. This decision was taken out of principle.

"I firmly advocate the independence of the people of all nationalities, and the sovereignty of the Republic; at the same time, I advocate the preservation of the Union State and the integrity of the country. However, the situation is developing along another path, dismembering and splitting the country Policy prevailed..."

"...I believe that sooner or later our joint efforts will bear fruit and our people will live in a prosperous and democratic society."

On Christmas Day of 1/9/9/1/, the first and last president of the Soviet Union announced his resignation, and at the same time announced the disintegration of the Soviet Union.His resignation speech and the subsequent K/R/M/L/Gong change of flag were spread to every corner of the world by the media from various countries present.Also includes US/Country.

But today Alfred is not at home, he went to Arthur on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean for Christmas.Those who ran over like him included Francis, Matthew and Day/Ocean/Zhou, and together they really had a kind of harmonious family atmosphere.After dinner, a group of people sat around on the sofa and watched TV. As expected, the news about the disintegration of the Soviet Union a few hours ago was rolling out in the news.There is a four-hour time difference between London/London and Mo/S/Ko, and the time here is exactly the same as the time when Mo/S/Ko changed flags.

The arch-enemy of the capitalist camp has perished.The West has long been weakened, and now the East is powerless to contend.The next century, the era of the American Empire, cannot be stopped.

Alfred opened the wine cabinet, took out a bottle of champagne, and a few wine glasses. "Christmas should be more lively." He poured about as much wine into each glass.Several people picked up their glasses one after another, and the glasses touched each other crisply.

"Cheers to the Soviet Union!" In Alfred's blue eyes, there was a smile as bright as the clear sky.

【2】

Before Alfred's independence, his vision was very narrow. The only people he came into contact with every day were immigrants and aborigines around him, and he only knew about Francis and Arthur.And Matthew.To him, other countries are more like color blocks on a map. He doesn't know what they look like, let alone their temperament.Like all underage children, he is well protected by his father and brother. He thinks that he has grown up and knows everything, but only after the protection of his father and brother is really removed, he realizes that he is ridiculously naive.

But there is no turning back.The gunfire of Lai/Ge/Xing/Dun could not be retracted, and the tea leaves that Bo/S/Dun had dropped could not be picked up again.Alfred felt that he had no regrets. Arthur was indeed protecting him, but he was also imprisoned.Now, without the barrier of Arthur, he had to contact the strangers in this familiar world by himself.

His independence attracted the attention of all parties, needless to say Arthur, Francis, Antonio, and Holland all wanted to intervene.Dealing with the two old foxes in his own camp had already exhausted Alfred's mental strength, and what was even worse was that he heard that Arthur was going to bring another person over.

What?Ivan Braginski?Who is that... oh, the Tsar/Tsar/Russia/Country.Other than that, Alfred knew nothing about him.The only thing he cares about now is whether this person is easy to deal with.

But then he heard that Arthur was stumped.Tsar/Emperor/Russia rejected him.This made Alfred, who had worked so hard to fight for independence, heave a sigh of relief. See, there are still good people in the world.

Speaking of which, he hasn't met Ivan yet, so let's meet him when he becomes independent.

【3】

In fact, he met Ivan earlier than he had planned. The war of 1/7/8/0/ was not over yet, but it happened that one of his family's diplomatic missions was going to visit Russia, and Alfred took the opportunity to hitch a ride.

Gradually far away from the warm homeland, the weather is getting colder and colder. Even though Alfred is in good health, he also added a lot of clothes along the way.The poor villages in Russia made him feel a little uncertain. This country looks quite backward, so it would be impossible to send troops if it is actually impossible to send troops... That would be a waste of his feelings.

The farther north you go, the poorer the land becomes.Alfred, who grew up in North/America with a warm climate and fertile land, felt that it was incredible that such a place could be inhabited by people, but the mission told him that the kingdoms of Tsarist/Russia were still farther north.He felt that he and Ivan didn't seem to be from the same world.

As if it was going to the end of the world, Alfred gradually lost interest and took a nap in the carriage.One night, he was shaken awake, the carriage had stopped, and the envoy told him that they had arrived at St. Peter's Fort.The blond young man rubbed his eyes and stepped out of the car. He was surprised to find that it was daytime outside the car, which was supposed to be dark. The bright sun could not be seen, but the bright white light illuminated the silent city.

"Uh... what time is it?"

The head of the mission explained with a smile: "It's two o'clock in the morning, Mr. Jones. Because it's summer and the night in the north is fleeting, we've been traveling much faster these days and arrived earlier."

The capital of Tsarist/Russia is completely different from the bleak scene along the way. Although it is also cold, the streets are clean, the buildings are exquisite, the waterways in the city are criss-crossed, and the sculptures on the square are lifelike.Orthodox churches have By/Zante-style domes and bright colors that European/European churches do not have. They are as childish as if they were made of candy.It is clearly midnight, but perhaps because the sky is still bright, there are still people walking on the street, as if they are isolated from the world where the sun rises and the sun sets and rests, and they live in a paradise by themselves.

Alfred never expected that the cold, vast and desolate Tsar/Tsar/Russia/Parliament would have such a quiet and beautiful arctic fairy tale.He never liked the cold, because a cold place means hardship and loneliness, and Alfred is a lively person.But now, he said quietly in his heart, it would be nice if he could live in such a place for the rest of his life.

At the same time, he wanted to see Ivan more and more.Will he be aloof and withdrawn, like most of his land?Or will he be a delicate and gentle person like the city he lives in?For normal people, no matter who they are, they will look forward to meeting the latter kind of person.

When the mission met Ye/Ka/Jie/Lin/Na/the queen, Alfred could only follow behind, silently looking at the queen and Ivan standing beside her.

The queen is over fifty years old, no matter how well maintained she has lost her beauty at this time, but the years make up for her kind and noble temperament.A brocade costume covered her figure, creating a symbol of emperor/power beyond the flesh/body.Alfred had heard a little bit when he was with Arthur. Although she was a woman, Ye/Ka/Jie/Lin/Na's ambition was no less than that of a man, and so was her ability.This made him dare not underestimate the female tsar, and the envoys were also very respectful in front of her and did not dare to make mistakes.

The tsar/tsar/Russia beside her was a tall young man with short, soft platinum-blonde hair and beautiful purple eyes, which was unforgettable.When the empress was talking to the envoys, he stood quietly by the side, almost blending into the resplendent palace so that his existence could be ignored.But Alfred obviously didn't have it. He had been trying to figure out what kind of personality Ivan was, but he had no choice but to get too little information, so he couldn't figure out any results.

But it doesn't matter, there are follow-up plans.The corner of Alfred's mouth curled, making friends was his forte.

"Tsar/Emperor/Russia/Country!" After the meeting, Ivan accompanied the Queen to leave, and Alfred followed. He was delighted to see that the Queen gave Ivan something on the way, and the two went in different directions. and go.So after the queen left, he just jumped out from his hiding place and stopped Ivan.

Ivan turned his head when he heard the words, and saw a look of surprise on his face when he suddenly came out: "...you are?"

Alfred followed the set of etiquette that Arthur gave him, and put his right hand on his chest and bowed slightly to the country he met for the first time: "I have long admired your name, I am... Alfred-F-Jones, you can... …Call me Mei/Lei/Jian." Fortunately, he hasn't completely lost what Arthur taught him, so this appearance is still a success.

The fly in the ointment is... "Your Russian pronunciation is really bad." Ivan commented briefly.

"Ahaha... because I'm just learning it... not very good, mainly... to... come to see you." Alfred raised his face without any shyness and showed a bright smile. He found that he was actually shorter than Ivan.

Ivan clasped his hands on his chest and tilted his head: "Have I ever met you before?"

Ah he doesn't remember me.Alfred was a little injured, but Mr. Mei/Lee/Jian, who has a strong psychological endurance, immediately diverted his attention. Ivan's eyes are so beautiful, he thought. "When I was fighting for independence, Arthur wanted you to send troops to help him suppress/repress me, but you didn't. I am very grateful to you." For the sake of understanding, we decided to ignore the pauses and grammatical errors in Alfred's long sentence.

Ivan pretended to remember it for a while, but he didn't have any impression at all, but he still said politely: "Yes, I remembered it. But now I have business, if you want, we can talk about it another day. "After that, he was going to bypass Alfred.

"Hey, let me go with you!" Seeing him making a gesture to leave, Alfred popped out such a sentence without thinking.Then he saw the Tsar/Emperor/Russia stopped and looked at himself with a strange look.Uh, did you say something inappropriate just now? "Ah, sorry, I'm just used to living with my family, and I'm happy to help them when they have work to do." He shrugged and explained for himself, his cheeks were slightly hot, but he probably had a thick skin Ivan couldn't see it.

"...I can take it as your inappropriate use of words because of your lack of proficiency in the language," Ivan said with a look of displeasure in his eyes, "I hope you won't be an example." After saying that, he turned and left.

Alfred was a little disappointed, he seemed to be hated?Obviously I did a good job before, but the last sentence ruined my good impression, what a shame.Shaking his head, he couldn't get rid of the scene of those amethyst-like eyes looking at him with displeasure. He clearly wanted to see a smile there.Mr. Mei/Li/Jian walked away with some heavy steps.

After returning to China, Alfred eagerly waited for Russia's response to his proposal to establish diplomatic relations, but he never waited for news.Gradually, he stopped paying attention to this matter, probably because Ivan put it aside.

Sure enough, I left a bad impression on you, Alfred tugged at his stupid hair depressingly.

【4】

This has been waiting for almost 30 years. On 1/8/0/9, Alfred, who had already removed the hat of "British Dependency", bent his Tai/Ping/Ocean pair with a smile when he received the news that Ivan requested to establish formal diplomatic relations with him Same blue eyes.Immediately afterwards, three years later, a region called "Ross/Fort" appeared in North/California/Fort/Nia.

"Are you from Ivan Braginsky's family?"

"Yes...we are from Russia."

In front of the immigrants in Roseburg, the blond young man opened his arms and showed a warm smile: "Welcome to the United States!" At that time, his Russian pronunciation was already very standard.

Later, Ross/S/Bauer was taken over by Alfred, but that was 35 years later.

In the past three to forty years, Alfred has only done one thing, and that is expansion.The land in North America is vast, but they used to belong to different people, Francis, Antonio, Arthur Kirkland, and now Alfred wants to make them all his own.Francis was busy making troubles on the European/European continent, and the battlefield of these people returned to the other side of the Great/Western/Ocean from his home, and Alfred took the opportunity to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

After annexing their colony, he went to war with his neighbor Mexico/Spain/Columbia, and finally the two signed a contract. He exchanged 1500 million US dollars for 140 million square kilometers of land.

At this time, it has been less than 100 years since his independence, and he has become a big country connecting the Pacific/Ping/Ocean and the Great/Western/Ocean. Rare in the world.

Now, he is standing on the coast of Washington, D.C., with the endless Pacific Ocean at the end of his line of sight.The sea wind blows through his blond hair, perhaps it was the way they once passed Ivan's far/east on the other side of the sea.

"Hey, now I am a big country like you." A smile melted in the blue eyes of the young country, like the warm Pacific/Ping/Ocean water under the sun.In the bright sunlight, the gold wire rim of the glasses reflected a little light.

【5】

But Alfred was far less powerful than he thought.He is indeed new and full of vigor, but it also means full of contradictions.Just a dozen years after he completed his expansion, the Civil War broke out.His identity has now changed to the United States/League/Korea/Federation/Confederation, rather than a complete United States/public/country.Fortunately, a new national will was not born on the side of the alliance, otherwise it would be such a collapsed thing to fight against yourself.

Some European/European powers are busy tossing about on the continent, and some are too old to take care of themselves. This time, they all didn't come to interfere with Alfred's family affairs.However, it was probably due to nostalgia, or some people didn't want Alfred to completely get rid of his control. Although he didn't send troops, he was always watching.And Alfred is too busy to take care of himself, and has no energy to pay attention to their coveting.

But soon the fleet of his ally Tsar/Emperor/Russia entered the New York/New York Harbor and San Francisco/Mountain area. There was no other action but patrolling, vigilantly isolating the possibility of any actions by other powers.Alfred had to guess, in fact, although he hadn't communicated much over the years, Ivan still paid attention to him, right?It feels really good to be supported secretly.

He also thought that he really hadn't seen Ivan for a long time.He really wanted to go to the exquisite fairy-tale-like Saint/Peter/Fort again, and then walk into the resplendent and resplendent gate of the Winter Palace, and look at those unforgettable purple eyes at a close distance. They present themselves with different looks.Ivan was polite but indifferent to him, but he didn't care. He could take the initiative and make people who were indifferent to him get closer, which was a process worth enjoying.

Perhaps, Mr. America/Lee/Jian just really wanted to see the Tsar/Emperor/Russia/country again, and those rhetoric were just reasons to cover up his true feelings.

【6】

Two years after the end of the Civil War, Alfred got his wish.

A / La / Si / Jia, the easternmost territory of the Tsar / Emperor / Russia / country, is also a hot potato now.

Seeing Ivan on his own territory was something Alfred never thought about.So when he was called to the White House early in the morning, he still suspected that he hadn't woken up.However, Ivan was obviously much calmer than him, and he just nodded when he saw this "neighbor" whom he hadn't seen for a long time. "Long time no see, Mr. Jones. On behalf of the Tsar/Emperor/His Majesty, I'm here to discuss with your country about the transfer of my territory A/La/S/Ga." He said to Alfred.

"After you finish talking with Mr. Seeward, why don't you go out for a walk with me?" Alfred thought that no one would understand anyway, so he invited Ivan openly.He didn't notice that his interpreter's expression instantly became extremely weird.

Ivan nodded and returned to the topic. During the meeting, he and Alfred had no more personal communication.

By the time the talk was over, the sun was about to set. Although Alfred was exhausted from the long meeting, his joy prevailed again at the thought of the end of the talk.

Being able to walk on the avenues of the park like ordinary friends with Ivan was something Alfred had fantasized about countless times, but now that it really came true, he couldn't help but feel a little ecstatic.

"Your Russian has improved a lot." Ivan said calmly beside him.It is autumn now, the leaves turn yellow, and the evening wind turns cool. Ivan's figure is tall and straight, under the sky dyed red by the setting sun, he is as elegant as a classical oil painting.

Alfred licked/licked some dry lips, and said with a smile: "Of course, I don't want to be laughed at by you when I see you again. By the way, Tsar/Emperor/Russia, why are you transferring A/ Do you think of me alone in La/S/Ga?"

Ivan glanced at him, making Alfred wonder if there was too much complacency in his voice. "You are too self-righteous. It's just that I need such a sum of money and I can't control the too remote A/La/S/Ga region, so I am eager to find a buyer."

"Oh—so that's it." Alfred exaggeratedly said, but secretly laughed at Ivan's dishonesty. Obviously Arthur also valued this land, and if he sold it to Arthur, he would pay more. money, but Ivan chose himself.Anyway, he still cares more about himself. "What about those fleets? It's not like you're eager to find a place to put it, so you put it here?" The blond young man smiled narrowly, waiting for Ivan's answer.

"..."

Alfred smiled triumphantly. "Admit it, you obviously care about me very much."

Ivan chuckled inexplicably and shook his head.But in Alfred's eyes, all this is nothing more than a cover-up denial.

The matter was quickly settled, and after the due procedures were completed, the buyer sent someone to measure the land, pay the money, and the land contract came into effect after the verification was completed.Both Ivan and Alfred went to measure the land. It was already very cold in A/L/S/Ga in October. Although the snow had not yet fallen, the wind was blowing like a knife.

Ivan seemed to be very used to this kind of climate. Alfred didn't see him wearing much more clothes than himself, but he was shivering from the cold.So I don't want to go to a cold place... Ah, except for St. Peter's Castle.

After monitoring the whole process, Alfred's facial features have been blown unconscious by the wind. "Mr. Jones," Ivan's voice called his attention back, "Now that the verification has been completed, after your country hands over the money, this will be your territory."

"Yeah." Because his face was stiff, he chose the simplest way to answer.

Ivan continued: "Then I and my entourage will depart from the west coast and return home as planned. Please go back and pay my respects to Mr. Secretary of State."

"...Well, I know." Is this going to go?Alfred pursed his lips unwillingly.But he didn't say anything, so Ivan turned and walked away.

Not reconciled.A restless voice shouted in his body, and Alfred couldn't help but took steps to catch up. "Hey, Ivan!"

The Tsar/Emperor/Russia/State stopped when they heard the sound, and Alfred chased after him, and a cloud of white air was formed between the two of them with some rapid breathing.

"That... Tsar/Emperor/Russia, I like you!"

【7】

After going back that day, Alfred repeatedly wondered if his head had been kicked by a donkey, and habitually ravaged Daimao while thinking.Is he regretting his impulsive confession to Ivan?No, what Mr. Mei/Li/Jian is thinking at this moment is:

Why does Master HERO in my world confess in a way that looks so, so like a Huaichun girl? !Should I drag him over and kiss him directly? !That is the style of the HERO-sama of the world! !Don't mention to me that the HERO of the world is 5 centimeters shorter than the Tsar/Emperor/Russia!

And Ivan's reaction really made him feel uncertain.No more surprised or confused than ordinary people when encountering such things, Ivan just raised his eyebrows when he heard him say this that day, told him "I see", and left.Alfred alone in the cold wind of A / La / Si / Jia: This reaction is so calm... Is it just a personality reason?

Or... Ivan didn't have that kind of affection for him at all.This might really irritate Alfred.

Fortunately, an opportunity to clear up doubts soon came.Admiral Farragut led a delegation to visit Russia, and the destination was St. Peter's Fort, which Alfred never forgot.

When they arrived, St. Peter's Fort had already entered the severe winter, because it was close to the sea, and the winter felt even colder.However, it does not detract from the charm of the city. The lights of thousands of houses in the long night add a bit of mystery to this fairy-tale heart of the empire.The last time I came here, I just admired it in passing. This time Alfred is going to take a good look at the city.So he left the mission's residence alone at night without notifying anyone.

As a person who didn't know much about St. Peter's Fort, Alfred, like most outsiders, walked towards the most obvious landmark in sight.Only when I got closer did I realize that it was the golden dome of a cathedral.There is a square outside the gate of the cathedral, surrounded by various sculptures, some are religious figures, some are celebrities in Russian history. Alfred didn't know it, so he just watched it.The dome of the cathedral is amazing in scale from a distance, and the whole building is even more magnificent when viewed up close, but it seems much more serious than the colorful churches like fairytale castles he has seen before.

The lights in the church were on, and the pouring light made a vague shadow behind him, melting softly into the night.Standing in front of the church door, he raised his neck and tried to see the reliefs on the building clearly, but because of the dim light, it didn't seem easy to do.Because the door of the church was closed, Alfred didn't know if there was anyone inside or what they were doing. In other words, he didn't value religion as much as the people in Europe.So when the doors of the church opened and the crowd filed out, he froze in place.

Should he turn around and follow the flow of people as if nothing had happened?Or continue to study his sculptures?But he didn't have time to think about it right away, because Ivan's cold voice sounded not far away from him: "I didn't expect to see you here, Mr. Jones."

"Hi Ivan!" Hearing the sound, Alfred instantly revived from the petrified state. At this time, anyone who spoke to him would be tantamount to helping him out of an embarrassing predicament. "I'm visiting St. Peter's Fort. You live in a beautiful city. Where are you going now?"

Ivan walked around him: "Go back to the Winter Palace."

Regarding his behavior just now, Alfred didn't regard it as any meaningful move, and followed him naturally.Ivan also let him follow, as if he didn't exist.

The two were strangely silent, and one after the other, they walked through the large square in front of the church and walked to the street. After nightfall, the number of people on the street decreased, and the lights from the houses made the street a bit lonely and deserted.

"Ivan," Alfred said abruptly after walking for a while, "I went back and thought about that."

"Huh?" Ivan looked back at him.

"That's when I said I liked you."

Ivan stopped in his tracks, turned around, and clasped his hands in front of his chest habitually. "so what?"

Alfred shrugged: "I don't think there is any problem. I like you, so I will tell you, that's all." He looked at the Tsar/Emperor/Russia/Kingdom two or three steps away from him , the sincere look in the blue eyes is exactly the same as that of an ordinary 20-year-old human boy.

But he is a country that is almost a hundred years old.Ivan raised the corner of his mouth mockingly, and suddenly stepped forward and pulled Alfred into the shadow of the building, restraining his body with one hand, and gently lifted the chin of the blond young man with the other hand: "You like me? "

"Yeah, uh—" Alfred's eyes widened the moment Ivan kissed him.

What are you doing? This should be my script for HERO!But right away he didn't have the heart to think about these things. Mr. America/Lee/Jian was still very young in this regard. Ivan easily controlled all his reactions, and Alfred had to let him do whatever he wanted and forget about it. immersed in the kiss.

"This kind of liking?" Ivan was less than an inch away from his lips, and he could still feel the breath of the other party's words.That too calm voice made Alfred's nerves tremble heavily.

"Is there... anything wrong?" The blond young man pushed him away, calming his breathing.

Ivan chuckled twice, and slowly retreated out of the shadows. When he looked at Alfred, his eyes were full of sarcasm and contempt: "You are indeed too young. Be more mature. How can a country fall in love with another country whose interests are different from its own?"

His voice fell, and there was no sound on the street anymore.Alfred froze in place, the irony in Ivan's beautiful eyes hurt his heart, and his words enlightened him. "What does this have to do with the country?" He couldn't help retorting, "This is my own business!"

"But you are a country, don't forget this." Because of this special form of existence, they can never clearly separate the independent personality from the will of the country.Ivan didn't agree with this before. When he was as young as Alfred, he never admired the modest gentleman in the south like a banished fairy. He never tried to satisfy the interests of the country and preserve the things he cherished. A fragile balance was sought.But that's just something that doesn't exist.So gradually his admiration cooled down. As a country, one has to bear more burdens than ordinary people. Although Alfred is young, he will sooner or later realize this.There is no such sloppy feeling as "love" between countries.

"That's right, but I don't accept your statement." Alfred put his hands in his pockets, showing a gesture that was not willing to let go.

"Okay, then let me put it another way that you can accept." Ivan said generously, "I can't fall in love with you, do you understand?"

Alfred stared at the ground for a long time, pursing his lips bit by bit.He felt something in his chest was lightly smashed into pieces with a click.

【8】

After returning home, Alfred was very depressed for a while.Even if he is the Mr. HERO of the world, things like "falling in love with someone for the first time and being / flatly rejected" will give him a big blow.In the past when he was a child, when he was sad and wronged, there would always be Arthur to comfort and enlighten him, but now he has already left Arthur, and he has lost the last person who is willing to help him share his troubles.

It doesn't matter, Alfred thought a bit bitterly, although the HERO-sama of the world is still young, he will learn to be strong sooner or later, right?

Over the past few years, the complicated domestic affairs took most of his energy away, and this little personal affair was slowly suppressed.The relationship between the US/country and the tsar/tsar/Russia has been very close in recent years, but that is only in diplomacy and does not represent his personal relationship with Ivan.After that day, Ivan's attitude towards him was the same as before. He was polite and appropriately indifferent, as if reminding him to give up all unreasonable thoughts.Alfred looked at him, his mood changing quietly.

Six years after Farragut's visit to Russia, Russia sent a delegation to return.He looked at Ivan across the two bosses, and when his purple eyes met his gaze, there was no warmth. Alfred was somewhat disappointed, but it was not enough to hurt him.

Perhaps the injury he suffered was not as serious as he thought, at least after he calmed down, he still had the idea to continue.Some things cannot be given up just by giving up, and some feelings cannot be bound by reason, just like he fell in love with the Tsar/Emperor/Russia/country at first sight, just like he is still willing to continue.

Mr. Mei/Lee/Jian, he is very serious.In such a matter, how can a serious person give up so easily?

【9】

In the 20th century, the world as a whole had a bad fate.The electrical revolution created a new set of great powers just as the First World War destroyed the old ones.Under such a world background, Alfred began to have the idea of ​​competing for the number one power.

Of course, when it comes to this, I have to mention a guy named Paul Braginski.People generally call him Soviet, but Alfred prefers to call him "Communist Tyrant", which he feels is worthy of the name.Paul's sudden rise is a miracle in the history of industry. Just a few years after his birth, he has the momentum to be on an equal footing with Alfred. No other power before him has had such an impressive achievement—probably thanks to him Choose a different path from other great powers.

The relationship between Alfred and Paul was bad from the beginning, and it was bad until the end.Even in the years when they were allies, the two have never talked with guns and sticks, let alone the Cold War era.In the eyes of others, the tit-for-tat between Alfred and Paul is entirely because they both have the ambition to become the hegemon of the world, just like Arthur and Antonio back then.This is one aspect, of course, but there are other, less human, but important reasons.

Alfred likes Ivan, and Paul is his rival in love.Regardless of how Mr. America/Lee/Jian learned of this fact, in short, wtf.This is enough to make him and Paul irreconcilable.

Most of the 20th century passed slowly under the cloud of tension created by the two of them.

【10】

Now, the cloud is gone.The Soviet Union is disintegrated, and the Soviet Union will undoubtedly die.The entire West is celebrating silently.

That day happened to be Christmas at Alfred's house, and he couldn't help but think that God is still merciful. You see, the old man always remembered that he owed HERO a Christmas gift[1] on 9/5/0/1/.And this belated gift no longer suits Alfred's taste.

While people were predicting his era, Mr. Mei/Leagan raised his glass with a smile.

For the disappearance of the great enemy and the prosperity of the Western world;

In order to oppress the people of Eastern/Europe, the red shackles are finally announced to be opened, and the Iron Curtain on the European/European continent is finally withdrawn;

For the United States/country to lose this constraint forever, the era of the United States/Lee/Jian/Technology Empire has fully arrived;

for--

For the disappearance of Paul Braginsky.The corner of Mr. Mei/Li/Jian's mouth curved into a brilliant arc.

Dear Ivan, the wheel of history has rolled forward, and there will never be another Soviet Union in the world.Instead, you will take his place as the former main body of the Soviet Union and now the main heir to the legacy, forever being compared with me.

Whether you like it or not, in the days to come, there will only be Alfred.Only I can accompany you on the other side of the world, and there is no one else.Even as opponents, they have become each other's uniqueness in a sense.

What a wonderful thing.So let's-

"Cheers to the USSR!"

END

--------------------------

[1] I owed Alfred a Christmas gift in 1950: During the North Korea/North Korea/War/War in 1950, MacArthur said something like "going home for Christmas this year", but he failed, so Of course, Stupid Mi's Christmas is not going well.

The author has something to say:

Before, some relatives suggested that there would be an episode of Su Lusu. The author tried to conceive it, but in the end he didn't write it because he felt that "Su Xiong and Lucia are happy."
