Maple leaves, daisies, roses and irises

Blessed is he who does not stumble over me.

Since returning home in silence, Matthew has never received any news from that person.After all, with the other party's arrogant personality that never bows his head, he dared to ignore the other party's existence and even did not comfort him who was in deep trouble. Now it is only natural for him to be intentionally ignored by the other party.

Although Matthew felt helpless and sad, he had to make such a move.At a time when anti-British sentiment is growing stronger in the country, any gesture of intimacy with Mr Kirkland would be inappropriate.

He has to wait.

————————————————————————————————————————

When the whole person is in a relaxed state, Matthew has more energy to pay attention to the things around him.Of course, the most concerned thing is the recent movements of the little black-haired boy—but because the other party's recent movements are not very big, and they are not serious enough to threaten, Matthew just let him do it.

What I was forced to pay attention to was the recent situation of the confrontation between the people on both sides of the southwest... The reason why I said I was forced to pay attention was because his brother rushed in very happily one day, grabbed him and started yelling :

"Williams! I signed an agreement with those idiots, an agreement on nuclear weapons! The boss said that from now on, the Cold War will calm down hahaha!!"

"...I'm suing you for illegal entry, Alfred F. Jones!"

Matthew looked at the joyful look of the twin brothers. Although he could understand the importance of the news, he didn't understand why the other party was excited.Logically speaking, the competition between Alfred and Mr. Braginski began to tend to a draw. Shouldn't it be annoyed that they did not win?

Matthew was confused by this, and in fact he expressed his doubts in accordance with his own ideas.To his doubts, his twin brother replied happily: "Isn't this a sign of weakness by the polar bear, Williams? Don't you think so?"

...he didn't think so at all.If you say that, aren't you also showing weakness?

Seeing Alfred's complacent look, Matthew finally swallowed this sentence back to his stomach.

The 1980s were a peaceful time.The Cold War was gradually reconciled, new countries sprung up like mushrooms after rain, and the weak and small countries in the past caught up with the former empire step by step.Matthew Williams is relieved that there is no such thing as a huge worldwide war, and he is also very grateful for the gradual reconciliation of the Cold War.

——His brother finally won't bother him about defense against Russia anymore!

……Is it really?

"You really really don't have any Coke here, Williams?"

"...how many times do you have to ask before you stop, Alfred?"

One of the hegemons of the world was wearing a white shirt and black shorts at this time, gnawing on a fresh watermelon, with one leg slack on the low table, asking with a mouthful of food without image.Hearing his brother's negative answer again, he frowned in dissatisfaction, threw the melon rind on the table, put his other foot on the table, and stared at Matthew, "Until you I’m a little self-conscious! Why don’t you buy it for this HERO when you don’t have any Coke?”

Matthew selectively ignores the other's self-proclaimed-his twin brother has become more and more fond of calling himself a "hero" since the end of World War II, especially since the liberation of Austria-as if he really saved the world.Matthew held the sleeping white bear in his arms, looked at the other's feet on the table with disgust, and said fiercely in a low voice: "How many days have you not washed your feet, my brother! Put your noble feet Get off that clean eucalyptus table I just wiped, immediately!"

Alfred rolled his eyes and sat down reluctantly, "Hero, I obviously washed it last night, Williams, you are so troublesome."

...The person who breaks into someone else's house and still acts like a master is the least qualified to say it! ?

Matthew took a deep breath—he had no intention of arguing with the other party yet.He tried his best to move his eyes away from the other party's indecent clothes, and fixed on the other party's face similar to his own, and decided not to discuss this topic with the other party that might make him vomit: "In short, Alfred, after you After trespassing on the border for the umpteenth time, what reason do you have to come to me this time?"

For a moment, the cynical look on the other party's face disappeared.But in the next moment, that prodigal expression returned to the other party's face, so fast that Matthew suspected that the seriousness just now was just his illusion.Alfred laughed maliciously, "Williams, don't I come to you for anything other than state affairs? Except for your Mr. Kirkland? Do you only allow him to come to you in private? ?”

At first Matthew just blushed at the other's shameless words, but after hearing it, the blush turned into an angry flush.Matthew exclaimed in horror, "Alfred F. Jones! Please—"

Before he could finish "please shut up," his twin brother interrupted him.Alfred made a dazed look with an "oh", "Ah, HERO forgot, didn't you have a tough fight with him recently? Oh... I'm really bad, I'm sorry, I brought up your sad things ..."

Matthew's face became more and more red, and his whole body was trembling with shame and anger.However, the other party's ridicule is not over yet: "Well, I heard that he has gotten very close to China/China recently because of Hong Kong/Hong Kong affairs, don't you care about it? HERO thinks you should take care of your man— —”

The friendship between countries cannot be hidden for too long, especially for countries with developed intelligence agencies, this friendship will soon be known to everyone, especially England/England and Canada/Canada are so close case.And therefore, once the friendship breaks down, other people will soon know.There will only be more people who gossip behind their backs. Matthew has always understood this truth, and there is a reason why he seldom goes out: he doesn't want to hear other people's gossip.

He knew that he should fight back for his almost vicious words about his twin brother, but he also knew that he was not qualified to fight back.Inga's connection was severed by himself, and Mr. Kirkland's indifference was also due to his indifference to the other party's loneliness.The result at this time is what he deserves and what he must have.

He knew this when he made this decision in the first place.

"Shut your mouth, Mr. America/Legend!" Although he understood the truth and suppressed his anger, Matthew still shouted angrily, "What do you mean by 'your man'? Don't use such disgusting words Let's call! What on earth do you have to say, don't beat around the bush!"

For Matthew's obvious behavior of changing the subject, Alfred just raised his eyebrows, and did not choose to use words to stimulate this person who seemed to be about to explode.He picked up the ice water on the side, drank it and said in a nonchalant tone: "Actually, I'm in a bad mood recently."

"Go find your Mr. Honda when you're in a bad mood! ①" Why come to me! !

Alfred rolled his eyes, "He is completely satisfied with his respected and perfect elder brother—" he bit the two adjectives hard with sarcasm, "every time with him When speaking, there is always a feeling that although he is very polite and patient, he is actually perfunctory and in a daze, and he always feels as if he does not exist, and he is very erratic."

In fact, I also want to perfunctory you and be in a daze.Believe me, everyone will try to put you off and be dazed when they talk to you!

Matthew wisely swallowed the words that came to his lips, and said calmly: "Why are you in a bad mood? I'll help you solve it." You can leave when you're done!

Alfred grinned.

"Hahaha, why don't you just say no? I'll just wait for your words!" The flaxen-haired man approached without hesitation, blinking his big eyes and looking at Matthew through his glasses, "It's like this, I I have an unfulfilled wish and need your help..."

Matthew has a feeling that the other party is premeditated.

"...help me deliver a letter to Braginsky."

"Please get out."

"Come on, Williams! Isn't it brothers, shouldn't we help each other?"

"Do you still want your White House to be burned down once?"

……

Being mentioned the shame of the past, Alfred's face was stunned for a moment, and then his expression and tone became unnatural.He understands how determined his brother's refusal is at this point, but he still doesn't want to give up: "Just once, Williams! Help me! I need him to see this letter, and Braginski must see it." This letter, there is no doubt about it!"

"Isn't it appropriate for me to deliver political letters?"

This is already a bit of a compromise.Alfred narrowed his eyes with a smile, "It's not political, it's a personal letter."

"The reason why a private letter is said to be private is because it is a matter between the two parties in the letter and has nothing to do with others!"

Matthew really can't understand his egoistic brother!

Why should his correspondence with Mr. Braginski be conveyed by him? !Isn't he afraid that the letter will be opened and peeped!

"Williams, if I could do it myself, I'd do it myself, you know me, my brother!" Alfred sighed, "But you think I'm going What will happen if someone finds out about the delivery of the letter? Just my boss's verbiage is enough for me!"

"Don't send the letter if you know there will be such a result..."

"Williams!" said the blue-eyed youth earnestly, "please, my brother!"

Looking at those clear blue eyes that blinked with tears, all Matthew's words of rejection rotted in his stomach for no reason.

Unlike his stubborn personality, Alfred has magical blue eyes.Even after so many years, the ignorant child became a colony, became independent and became a world leader, but those eyes miraculously retained the purity of a long time ago, so clean that they were not stained by the world.

But this childlike tinge is only apparent when Alfred's eyes are wide open and he's looking at a person seriously.At other times, he always narrowed his eyes viciously, hiding them behind the lenses through the reflection of the glasses, and did not want people to pry into the depths of his thoughts.

Therefore, when a person sees that childlike innocence for the first time, no matter what kind of request Alfred makes, he cannot refuse.

"—Ah, what a rare visitor~ We are really flattered that Mr. Williams will come to such a small place in person."

The silver-haired man with the scarf smiled warmly, but it made people feel a chill to the bone.The long-haired girl on the side brought a cup of hot Moga Gaba indifferently, and the strong coffee smell hit his face, which made Matthew choke, "Ah, thank you, Miss Arlovskaya ...just put it here..."

Natasha Arlovskaya is a quintessential Dons/lav beauty, with luminous silky silver hair and sculpted features, but not enough tenderness.With a pretty face, she nodded slightly as a gesture of gratitude to Matthew, and then left the reception room with the plate.

While Matthew watched the girl leave, Ivan Braginsky, who was sitting across from him, was silently looking at him.

"Is my sister pretty?"

Matthew recovered.

Mr. Braginski, who has a beautiful younger sister, is naturally not bad in appearance.However, the same facial features are shown differently by the man's tenacity, especially those violet eyes, when they look directly at a person behind the silver broken hair, they can show the unique majesty of the Tsarist Russia period vividly.

"Yes, no man can deny that. You have a very beautiful sister."

Ivan smiled noncommittally, and did not continue on this topic. Instead, he seemed indifferent but couldn't wait to ask about the news he had just heard: "You just said that the little hamburger in the east has a letter for me?"

"—Yes." Matthew paused, "Private letters."

"Oh? I'm really looking forward to it~" The man leaned forward slightly, and the chair from the Ekaterina period under him creaked, "Are you emphasizing that it's a personal letter? And I'm asking Mr. Williams to deliver it ..." The purple eyes narrowed playfully, "I'm looking forward to it more and more~"

The childlike voice coupled with the innocent tone was vividly interpreted by this silver-haired man with a terrifying color.Matthew was frightened for a while, forced himself to get rid of the coercion imposed by the other party, and forced a smile: "Jones has always emphasized that it is a personal letter. It seems to be very important..."

Just when Matthew took out the letter from the briefcase, Ivan Braginsky narrowed his eyes and smiled again and said, "Then why not let him deliver it by himself?"

The action of getting the letter stopped.Matthew froze in embarrassment.In fact, he hasn't fully understood the intention of the twin brothers until now, and naturally he has no way to explain it to Mr. Braginski... He also doesn't understand the reason why Alfred is a shrinking turtle! !

So he said this euphemistically, put the letter on the table, and stretched out his hand to push it in front of the other party.

Violet eyes looked at the white envelope, and then moved to Matthew's embarrassed face.Ivan Braginski tapped the wooden handrail with his index finger, and smiled leisurely: "Ah, did Mr. Jones think that I would go to see a so-called personal letter, and it was not sent by him personally?" ?”

"... What do you mean, Mr. Braginsky?"

"That is to say," Braginski's eyes became dangerous for the first time, and his childlike voice suddenly became deep, "I am not an individual now, and my allies and I work together The Soviet Union, please remember this clearly! Is he the one who rejected my application back then, and now he is coming to me in private? No matter what the content of the letter is, I request to open it with my allies! "

what?

Matthew, who was taken aback by Mr. Braginski's terrifying appearance, retorted reflexively: "No, no! Jones, Mr. Jones said, I let you take it apart..."

Damn Alfred, what a mess he made for himself! !

"Only one person?"

"Only you can take it apart!"

"Forget it." The silver-haired man smiled happily, as if he had expected the result a long time ago, "I won't read this letter, Mr. Williams. If you have nothing else to do, please go back Well. We're not close enough to sit down to dinner, are we?"

Matthew opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but all the words flooded his mind, and he didn't know what to say.The door of the reception room was opened, and Matthew, who turned his head mechanically due to the sudden change of light, saw a submissive man in a dark green military uniform coming in with a plate of Russian tea, and asked in a low voice:

"Mr. Braginsky, would you like some refreshment?"

I always felt that the other party was familiar, but Matthew, who couldn't remember his name, was recalling that Ivan had already answered his question: "Thank you, Torres! Huh, you really understand me~ Ah, please put it here..."

poor man.Li/Thuania, one of the three Baltic countries.

The young man with short brown hair couldn't restrain his trembling, and carefully placed the dinner plate on the table—it made a loud noise when he put it down—and backed away silently.It's a pity that Mr. Braginski didn't intend to let him go back, "Torris, come here and do me a favor!"

Matthew watched the interaction between the two silently, and wanted to leave but couldn't.Poor Torres Rolinatis turned away from tears, stood behind Ivan Braginsky tremblingly, and asked in a low voice: "Mr. Braginsky, what are your orders?"

"Pick up the letter on the table."

Ok?

This sentence successfully kept Matthew who was about to move.

Torres responded, reached out tremblingly and picked up the white envelope, and read: "The zip code is XXXXX, the messenger Alfred—"

"No, no, no, I don't want you to read the letter for me!" Ivan expressed his refusal with three "nos", with a slight smile in his tone (although this made poor Torres even more confused. Trembling), "My lovely Li/Thuania, now—tear it off."

Even Torres, who was in extreme fear, was stunned.

"Mr. Braginski!" cried Matthew, "how can you—"

"I accept your letter, Mr. Williams. I've changed my mind." The silver-haired man on the opposite side smiled like a child trying to play a prank, "Since this letter is mine, what I do with it is also gone. Do you care?—Torris, why don’t you do it? Who is your ally? You have to listen to me, have you forgotten my order just now?”

Although Ivan's expression and tone could be considered gentle, it seemed to have a bad effect. "I-I'm sorry, Mr. Braginsky!" The poor young man looked like he was about to cry, "I-I'll just tear it up..."

"and many more--"

No words can make Torres Rollinatis, who was in extreme fear, stop the action in his hands—with the sound of tearing paper like a crash, the white letter was split into two in his hand, and the shredded paper Crumbs fell down one after another.Matthew's hand was still stretched out in the air in vain, trying to block the opponent's movement, but it failed completely.Ivan Braginsky's expression was as happy as if he had won a battle, he showed great interest, stood up slightly, his eyes sparkled.

"Go on, Torres! Tear until you can't tear it!"

The poor young man was sobbing, and continued to move mechanically.Matthew should have stopped him, but he couldn't move for some reason, and could only watch Torres tear Alfred's letter into pieces——

Silver demons smile behind confetti snowscapes.

"Enough, Mr. Braginsky, please stop your torture of Mr. Rolinatis!"

The three people in the room couldn't help turning their heads at the same time.The short boy opened the door panting, presumably he informed the young man behind him to come; the young man behind him widened his eyes with an expression of indignation, obviously showing a strong dislike for the scene in front of him.He passed the boy, strode forward, faced Ivan Braginsky who was sitting on the rocking chair, and said sternly:

"We are not your slaves, let alone your playthings! Do you know that we are on equal footing with you?! Don't always act like you are superior to others, Mr. Braginsky! You are really annoying!"

Poor Torres murmured, "Pork...!"

Ivan Braginski raised his brows high—obviously, he was surprised by Edward von Polk's resistance.

"Edward? Why are you stopping me~ How can I say that I am torturing little Torres korukoru~"

Although he didn't speak, the eyes of Torres Rolinatis clearly said: You are torturing me.Edward didn't see Torres' eyes, but he also had a great reaction to Braginsky's words: "Stop joking, Mr. Braginsky—Ivan Braginsky!" He was almost He gritted his teeth and said, "You know what you did! First Levi, then Torres, and me! You used your good means to force Mr. Wang away, and you haven't repented until now!"

Braginski, who had been acting calm all this time, suddenly changed his face, stood up from his chair in an instant, and looked at Edward von Polk viciously.The young man stared at by him had a courage completely different from that of Torris. He stared back at him, stretched out his hand and grabbed Torris who was approaching him, and hid behind him, saying word by word:

"Listen, Braginsky, if you continue to stay in the Soviet Union with such a character, the Soviet Union will end sooner or later!"

Before Ivan could reply, Edward hurriedly dragged the frightened Torres and Leviel, and the three left the reception room in a hurry, judging from their speed, they were still afraid of the anger from the silver-haired man.Matthew, who has always been marginalized, looked at Braginski's straight back, and suddenly felt a little, no, very embarrassed.

It seems that he... had the good fortune to watch a Soviet/Union infighting.

Ivan Braginsky remained silent for a long time.But Matthew didn't dare to say anything at all - the opponent standing in the center of the white paper with such a terrifying aura, looked like an abyss demon climbing up from hell!Even if the other party didn't say a word, Matthew didn't dare to break the silence, for fear that if he said something, the other party would immediately go crazy.

...Although with the character of the other party, it is more likely to smash him to death with a water hose.

The one who broke the silence was the long-haired girl who walked into the reception room again.Natasha Arlovskaya was not afraid of her brother's terrifying aura, walked over directly, put her hand on her brother's shoulder, and asked indifferently but worriedly: "Brother, are you okay?"

Matthew was ignored directly.Only then did Ivan Braginski move: He took a deep breath, grabbed Natasha's arm, and said reluctantly, "It's nothing...Natasha...don't worry about me."

"It's wrong for them to say that, brother, you are fine, Natasha thinks..."

"I said you don't have to worry about me."

Ivan Braginski's voice was a little tired.This kind of exhaustion made Natasha's mouth shut immediately, and she quickly helped her brother to the door with both hands, "Brother, you need to rest. How about a cup of hot Moga Gaba? The cup just now is already cold."

"That's all, Natasha. Leave me alone. Go away."

Matthew was literally ignored.

The silver-haired man straightened his waist, broke away from his sister's support, turned around indifferently, and soon there was the sound of going upstairs.Matthew looked at the girl who was staring at her brother obsessively at the door of the reception room. After struggling for a while, he opened his mouth and asked, "Well, may I ask..."

Just as he opened his mouth, Natasha Arlovskaya rushed towards her brother: "Brother! I'll help you—"

"..."

————————————————————————————————————————

"And then? How did you get back?"

The young man drinking Coke blinked his eyes and asked curiously.Matthew frowned, "Mr. Braginski's sister sent me out in the end! Look at you, what a mess you made for me!"

"His sister? The flaxen-haired beauty in good shape?"

"Don't focus on something so weird, Alfred!"

Matthew looked at his brother with some complaints, and was very puzzled by the other's heartless appearance. "Mr. Braginski tore up your letter, Alfred! Why are you not in a hurry?" On the contrary, he seemed more at ease!

Matthew's observation was correct, and Alfred was indeed more at ease. "No, Williams, you definitely don't know him as well as I do! He will definitely go back and put the pieces together seriously!" The blue-eyed young man smiled confidently, "That kind of duplicity, The more he wants to do something, the more he doesn't want you to see it! Maybe when he instructs Torres to tear up the letter step by step, he is staring at the letters exposed in the envelope, trying to guess the content of the letter! If he Received my letter gladly, so that I need not worry!"

……

Matthew felt that he really couldn't understand the thinking of these two people, whether it was Mr. Braginsky or his twin brother.

"But I'm more concerned about what happened later, Williams..." Alfred propped his elbows on the table, his eyes glistened in the sunlight outside the window, "What do you think, Braginski, Alfred?" What is the relationship between Lovskaya, Polk, Rolinatis and others?"

Is it the relationship within the Soviet Union/Union?

When it comes to political topics, Matthew slightly restrained his casual attitude just now, became serious, and carefully worded his words: "...To be honest, I think there seems to be some... small differences."

Alfred wasn't so serious - at least it seemed so - he laughed: "Don't be so nervous, my brother! Be honest! Small differences? You can really talk, you really Do you think it's a small disagreement? They seem so harmonious, even if there is a small conflict and a glass of wine and a heart-to-heart talk, can they get back together? What are you kidding, Williams!"

Matthew twisted uncomfortably and looked at the other side awkwardly, not knowing how to take this turn.To be honest, he feels that the conflict between the three Baltic countries and Mr. Braginsky is so serious that if it is not resolved in time, it will become the point where they will split up...

But can he say this to the opponents of the Soviet Union so unscrupulously?As a neutral person?

Matthew shut his mouth obediently.

Alfred squinted at him, and after confirming that his brother was determined not to say anything unfavorable to the Soviet Union, he did not intend to continue to force it, but yawned leisurely, and gave Matthew a step: "Forget it, it's fine if you don't say it... A small disagreement is a small disagreement! Haha..."

Matthew breathed a sigh of relief.

"... But having said that, there seems to be Coke in the convenience store opposite, go buy it for HERO."

"—Get out of my house, Alfred!"

Before leaving, Alfred turned around in front of the door with a sunny and harmless smile:

"Would you like to know the contents of that letter?"

The other party's tone was very firm.Matthew hesitated for a moment, then nodded hesitantly.Whether public or private, he was very curious about the contents of that letter.

Alfred chuckled.

"I used three pages, and wrote a few words on each page, adding up to one sentence: Modern is my occasion."

"The USSR will not last long—"

"Modern times will be my occasion, my world of the United States/United States of America!"

The blue-eyed, short-haired young man was wearing a simple and even slightly dirty short shirt and white trousers. The aura that burst out of his body made people think that he was wearing a gorgeous and majestic cloak and military uniform.

Like an eagle, freedom—

Matthew understood this point in an instant in December 1991.
