Maple leaves, daisies, roses and irises

You are the salt of the earth; if the salt loses its taste, how will it be made salty again?It turned out to be useless, only to be thrown outside and trampled on.

"This is the trend of the times! Mr. Williams, you shouldn't be as depressed as you are now! Don't you want to spend your whole life under the rule of Great Britain, being a no-sovereign, winking, low-status A colony?!"

The man who said this blushed and shouted excitedly.Matthew Williams hugged the white bear in his arms, his beautiful eyebrows frowned in distress, and said helplessly, "Calm down, Mr. Papineau, I really don't want to be independent..."

Louis Joseph Papinau blushed still more at this remark. "How can you think so, Mr. Williams!" he said angrily. "Her Majesty the Queen of Great Britain has issued such an unreasonable order! Insult! Are you still going to endure it?!"

Matthew flinched, buried his chin into the soft fur of the white bear, and asked with a wry smile, "...can't you...?"

"'The Provincial Governor can enforce financial loans without a vote of the Provincial Assembly'②! Listen, listen!!" Louis Joseph Papineau slapped the table excitedly, "Mr. Williams, the demonstrations a few days ago Did you see the parade? What England did was condemned by all of us patriots! My speech was a huge success! All the people were outraged by it! We need to protest, we need to overthrow Canada Great British Government! Canada/Canada needs Independence!"

In fact, he didn't see how much the people supported him... If it wasn't for the people not supporting him, he wouldn't have decided not to help them...

Matthew thought awkwardly, but he didn't say it.The light-brown-haired young man tilted his head, smiled awkwardly and said, "Then, Mr. Papineau, you can realize your ideals...Come on..."

Louis Joseph Papineau widened his eyes, "Aren't you going to participate?!"

Matthew shook his head firmly.

……

Broke up unhappily.

"If this is the path you choose, then I'm going to chase my dream!" Before leaving, the man who has contributed a lot to the cause of Canadian independence said angrily, "I want you to see yourself go from Saved from the hands of England! I will prove myself right! I will save you, save our country!"

Matthew stood at the door with the white bear in his arms, and replied with a helpless smile: "... Come on... I will wait..."

He really didn't know how to respond to such a declaration...

"..."

Louis Joseph Papineau left in a rage.

"Canada," the white bear in his arms suddenly said when he returned to the room, "Your tone just now seemed to be provocative."

"Eh? Like, like?!" Matthew suddenly realized, "Is this the root cause of Mr. Papineau's anger? Xiong Erlang, is this, this reason?"

"..." Xiong Erlang shut up.

...it thinks its master is too stupid to save.

As a patriot, it's really, pitiful to stand in such a country that doesn't care about anything...

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

At the same time as the uprising in Canada and Canada, Matthew Williams received a telegram from England.

"Xiong Erlang, don't wave it around, be careful if you break it, show me..." Matthew reluctantly took the telegram from the pet's hand, and his eyes widened slightly after seeing the content on it.

There is only one sentence on it:

"Whether you participate or not, I will show no mercy."

"Mr. England..." Matthew rubbed his forehead with a wry smile.Xiong Erlang grabbed his trousers and tried to climb up on him. He put down the telegram, leaned over and hugged Polar Bear, and whispered to him in a low mood, "Xiong Erlang, do you know, I seem to... Suspected by the other party..."

They obviously don't want to start a war.

He obviously didn't want to hurt the people.

"Well...forget it, that's it, anyway, it's not once or twice." He crumpled the telegram into a ball, threw it into the trash can, and walked to the garden with his pet in his arms, "Let's go, Xiong Erlang, we Go and see if the flowers planted a long time ago have bloomed..."

Only two months after the uprising, the uprising army in Canada/Canada was suppressed. On December 12th, the British colonial government dispatched as many as 7 million troops to suppress the uprising within 1 minutes. With an insurgent army of less than 20 people, the Canadian/Canada Uprising ended in 600.

"That England guy really cares about you so much, he will hold you in his hands at all costs, and he would do such an extremely stupid act of using elite troops to drive out the rebels who are like loose sand... "The brown-haired young man squinted at his twin brother, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, "In the end, your people sought refuge with me③...Didn't you keep saying that you would protect your people, my Brother? Then why don't you even support the actions of your people, let them be crushed by the evil colonial power?"

"Their ideas are beautiful, but unfortunately they are completely unrealistic. What they represent is not the will of most people." Matthew Williams said lightly, tapping the armrest of the wooden chair unconsciously with his right hand, "They are at your disposal Now, Alfred, it’s up to you whether to help or not. By the way, Americans are not welcome here, if you come in without notice next time, I will treat it as illegal entry.”

"Too indifferent, Williams..." Alfred shook his head helplessly at him, and complained with a smile, "Don't treat me like this, can't I be wrong? Okay..." He Walking up to his brother, he took advantage of his unpreparedness to wrap his arms around his neck, "Do you treat everyone like this? Whether it's me or your people... Do you include your Ying/Ge in the objects of your indifference?" What about Mr. Lan?"

Smelling the unique masculine scent on the other person, Matthew frowned slightly in disgust. "It's not the same thing, Alfred, let me go."

The twin narrowed his eyes dangerously. "It's really special, Williams, your attitude towards that proud noble boy! Isn't it the same thing? He is very good to you, just because of this? Am I not good enough to you? The time before the 16th century belongs to us of……"

"Don't be so disgusting, Alfred! I said let me go—" Matthew struggled hard, stood up, and looked directly at Alfred, who stood up straight and looked at him leisurely with his hands in his pockets. , "Mr. England is indeed very kind to me, I am very grateful to him! Unlike you—" he said word by word, "you are only kind to me when it does not violate your own interests. It has become extremely ugly!"

Surprisingly, the accused actually clapped their hands. "Well said! That's wonderful, my brother!" Alfred laughed happily, "It's really an appropriate description... I am such a person, I am, England is, and you are-- Isn't it right? We are all like this! We are, but the country..."

"So, don't be angry, Williams. I was wrong for the aggression, all the wars I started are my fault, but I'm not going to apologize to you because I did the right thing. Believe I, my brother," he looked at the reluctant Matthew in a leisurely manner, "if you were in this position, I would become you and you would become me, and you would want more, maybe more than I still--"

"No, it's impossible, Alfred. Your hypothesis simply doesn't hold."

Matthew Williams interrupted him, shaking his head firmly.

"I can't rebel, so I can't be you; you must rebel, so you can't be me. I will never take the initiative to draw a knife on anyone."

Alfred F. Jones was taken aback.After a while, he came to his senses, laughed and said: "What a brave statement, Williams! I'm so proud of you! Your Mr. England knows, and he won't be cold on you anymore ?Recently, he seems to think that the uprising has your support, and has been ignoring you... Do you need me to clarify for you?"

"Thank you very much, I don't need it!! Shut that mouth of yours, Americans!"

Matthew's face turned red with embarrassment, and he raised his fist and waved it in a demonstrative manner, but it obviously had no effect.Alfred took a few steps back with a frightened look, "Ah, don't be so fierce! Williams, you are really getting more and more violent. Ever since you followed that bandit in England, no matter the battlefield You can wield your weapon very well from last year to now! I still remember how kind and lovely you were when you were young! Sure enough, England has had the greatest influence on you..."

"Enough! Don't talk about Mr. England in every sentence!" Matthew thought of the telegram and the blond gentleman's usual contemptuous eyes, and the flames of anger ignited even more. "Don't talk about me, don't you Is that also true? Now I can’t see the shadow of my childhood at all... Sure enough, Mr. England tortured you back then and made you change? Therefore, you have become what you are now, ugly—”

"It's not that time, it's even earlier..." Alfred smiled and pointed his forehead with his fingers, and his plain glasses flashed, "It should be the year when he invaded, right? It's earlier than you imagined How much more..."

……

Of course he remembered.

All the humiliation his twin brother has suffered... He remembers it all, he sees it all, besides himself, he is the only one who understands the pain of the other person, but because of this——

"How pitiful, my brother!" Matthew raised his eyebrows high. "Then, should the complaining be over? Can your pain in the past determine the pain of others now? Stop joking, Alfred! Now , let's go! You came here to ask me how to deal with Mr. Papineau and his followers, now that the problem is solved, you can go back to the south, Americans!"

Alfred shook his head helplessly, did not continue his topic, shrugged and walked out. "Unfeeling Williams, it's really sad. Whether it's for me or for that poor gentleman..." He walked to the door, put his hand on the door frame, and smiled back narrowly, "By the way, that gentleman, it seems He also said that Canada/Canada and the United States/country should be merged..."

Matthew's response was to grab the cushions on the couch and throw them at them. "Get out of here, immediately!"

The cushion fell to the ground without hitting the target. Alfred smiled happily, then closed the door and left.

Matthew Williams stood where he was, panting angrily.A door upstairs opened, and the white bear with a stupid face opened the door and walked out. While going downstairs, he asked cautiously: "Canada, I heard your conversation... Are you okay?"

The person who was concerned took a few deep breaths.After calming down a bit, Matthew pulled out a forced smile, "...Well, it would be a lie to say that I'm completely fine, but I'm really much better..."

"Really?" Xiong Erlang walked up to him, looked up at his master, "Canada, shall we go to the garden?"

Only then did Matthew really break into a smile, he knew that this was the white bear's way of comforting people, "Okay, let's go," he picked up his pet, and rubbed the other's cheek affectionately, "And after that, I'm going to think about how to explain to Mr. England..."
