    553 Ceremony

    Shao Bei found that he was becoming more and more like a politician.  Talking about national interests, treating each living life as a group of data.  Looking at the report, we weigh which of the two factions is more in line with the interests of the country.  After measuring the results, some fresh lives are easily sacrificed.  For him, choice is sometimes a mathematical problem.  Just like the minority obeys the majority he has always believed in.

    If you are in the majority, congratulations, your interests have been preserved; if you are in the minority, I am sorry, but for the benefit of the majority, you must be sacrificed.  Sacrifice without permission, without knowledge, coldlyeven if you don't want to.

    If the other party is not Mr. Guo, but someone else.  Either they were indigenous people in Indonesia or monkeys in Vietnam. Shao Bei didn't even bother to pay attention to them.  He will only ruthlessly weigh interests and decide which option is best for Australia in the first place.  But Mr. Guo is different. He is an acquaintance.  To some extent, Guo Xingye was one of the few friends Shao Bei made in the seventeenth century.  The other may be country bumpkin Andrew, and the woman who still lives in Central South, where she occasionally goes there to listen to the piano for two hours.

    ¡°In short, the surname Guo holds great weight in Shao Bei¡¯s heart.  So sacrificing the surnamed master made Shao Bei feel a little awkward.  So he was a little absent-minded for several days, thinking over and over again, feeling that what he had done was a little disgusting.  Although anyone else would do this, for a moment Shao Bei hoped to escape the power of making choices and replace him with another person.  This way he will feel calmer.

    His wife Jing Hua noticed the bad mental state. After some questioning, Jing Hua suggested that Shao Bei give himself a long vacation.  Because Shao Bei looks a bit cowardly now Yes, she did use the word cowardly, which made Shao Bei roll his eyes.  The female banker then gave her explanation, in her usual style.

    "This world is not white, let alone black, but gray with black and white intertwined. It is full of all kinds of conspiracies It is simply unreasonable to regret sacrificing others. You should be happy that you can take the initiative to choose  Sacrifice someone instead of passively being sacrificed by someone."

    It¡¯s cruel, but it¡¯s the truth.  It only took Shao Bei three days to get over the shadow of self-blame.  Whether it was using the interests of the majority that politicians always talked about, or whether he was making himself more ruthless, in short he came out.

    The work of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs continues, and based on the intelligence analysis fed back by overseas intelligence centers every day, it peeks at the changes in neighboring countries.  Japan became more and more like a powder keg. Anger and self-confidence filled Tokugawa Iemitsu. On the fourth day after the Satsuma clan's hostage escaped, the shogun ordered the execution of the wives and concubines of the Satsuma clan lord.  The samurai of the shogunate rushed into the house, leaving behind their daggers and white silk ribbons, and watched with their own eyes the poor women hugging each other and stabbing each other's chests, or hanging twitchingly on the lintel.  Then use a sharp samurai sword to chop off the heads of those cowards.

    The situation in Annan seems to be the same as before.  The Annam guerrillas loyal to the Li Dynastywell, these guys who lurk day and night and plunder everywhere look more like bandits than guerrillasThese guys brought great trouble to Zheng Zhilong and Zheng Cai.  They had to spread out their forces and follow the advice of Blackwater consultants to build bunkers everywhere and form blockades to limit the destructiveness of the guerrillas.

    The general election in Luzon is in full swing.  In order to compete for the position of CEO, Fatty Li offered extremely high prices to win over the CPPCC members.  This guy is said to be planning to turn Manila into a tax-free freeport He must be crazy.  You must know that the revenue of Manila City accounts for more than half of the Luzon government's fiscal revenue.  Turn Manila into a free port?  I'm afraid the Luzon government will go bankrupt in less than three years.

    Following these events, notes from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs full of diplomatic vocabulary were sent to embassies in various places along the radio waves.  The ambassador will then meet with certain people according to the wishes of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.  'We are concerned' 'We are seriously concerned' 'Hope to maintain restraint' 'Can't understand'Those guys who are making trouble in their own land, under a highly targeted note, or correcting previous mistakes,  Or be careful to ask Australia for its opinion.  If there happens to be some unruly guy who goes his own waywell, that's not the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' business, but the Military Ministry's business.  I believe that the Navy¡¯s deployment of the Third Fleet in Southeast Asian waters will bring the situation back under the control of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

    "If you ignore Congress, you will feel like God when you are in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.  Controlling the joys and sorrows of the world.  But if you stay in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for a long time, it will become boring.  It's always the words, always the diplomatic rhetoric, the unchanging dress, the meticulous style.  It's so boring.

    Time enters 16thIn late July of 2019, Shaobei, who was in the west of Beigang, finally encountered some interesting things.

    The well-dressed gentlemen communicated in low voices, and the ladies elegantly held small parasols and gathered together to talk and laugh.  In front of you is a winding river, with a man-made dam in the narrowest part of the river near the two peaks.

    Chief Engineer Lin Dejia is wearing a rattan safety helmet and blue work clothes, with a microphone in front of him.  There are always engineers wearing blue work clothes going back and forth to report.

    After a long time, Lin Dejia tapped the microphone lightly, and everyone immediately closed their mouths consciously.

    "The completion ceremony of the Manghewan Hydropower Station begins now. First, let me give a speech to the Prime Minister of the Republic, Wu Jianguo."

    Wearing a brand new white shirt, Lao Wu stepped forward and started speaking to McClain.

    At the same time, Chu Bai, who was standing side by side with Shao Bei, began to say sarcastically: "I think Old Wu made a bad start."

    "how to say?"

    "He has completely moved the same tactics he used in the government office to Australia. His language is empty and his words are weak. You can hear things like persistence, style, strengthening, etc. almost every ten seconds. As a result, now my subordinates  Employees also emphasize this when making reports." Chu Bai complained.

    "This can't be entirely blamed on Lao Wu." Shao Bei said with a smile: "It seems that this is not the result of Lao Wu alone, right?"

    "There is also Sister Yu Lihong." Chu Bai gritted his teeth and said, "The first family has given a bad start to all civil servants in Australia. Haven't you heard of the saying that what is good above will be what is good for the bottom?"

    "You are too mean." Shao Bei said helplessly: "Otherwise, what can you ask everyone to do? We have been accustomed to this kind of empty reports as early as the 21st century. So much so that now we only know this kind of thing.  It¡¯s not even possible to write a report using this model. Does this count as our impact on this time and space?¡±

    "Bad influence." Chu Bai curled his lips and said, "So I said it was a bad start Maybe from now on all reports in Australia will have to be in this format."

    ¡°It¡¯s better than classical Chinese writing filled with gorgeous rhetoric.¡± Shao Bei retorted.

    During the dispute, Lao Wu finished his speech and Lin Dejia came to the front stage again.  As thousands of people read the countdown to the end, the sluice gate of the Manghe Bay Dam slowly opened, and the river flowed out due to the height difference, with great momentum.  Amidst the huge noise, an incandescent lamp symbolically placed on the stage first flickered, and then continued to light up.  Lin Dejia turned on the electric gramophone next to him, the turntable rotated, and soft music floated out.  Followed by a mountain roar and a tsunami, cheers came like a tidal wave, one after another.

    Although I was mentally prepared, the hydropower station had already been tested a few days before today's ceremony.  But after witnessing the successful operation of the hydropower station, everyone was still excited.

    Four years, four whole years.  This hydropower station, which all travelers have high hopes for, has finally been completed.

    "I believe that the Congress will reach an agreement in the shortest possible time and move the capital to Beigang City." Chu Bai said confidently.

    Next to him, Shao Bei had a smile on his face, and after a long time he said something meaningful: "Welcome to the twentieth century."

    As the name suggests, the Python River is shaped like a moving giant python.  The amount of water is abundant, at least as much as a medium-sized hydropower station in the 21st century.  Although the conversion rate needs to be improved, there is no doubt that this hydropower station can continue to provide cheap electricity.  Abundant electricity will allow Australia's industries to complete the second upgrade.  As Shao Bei said, welcome to the twentieth century.

    This day is July 26, 1649.  History will always remember this day as the first hydropower station in human history was put into operation.  Of course, in the future, 'this day in history' will not only record the Manghewan Hydropower Station, but also record an inconspicuous anecdote in a small paragraph: During the Ming Dynasty, Wang Duo, a cabinet scholar, resigned.

    Just when Australians are crazy about hydropower stations, Ma Shiying is also excited about the Shili Changting Pavilion outside Nanjing.

    "Let's go, Wang Duo is finally gone." In the carriage, Ma Shiying looked at Wang Duo bidding farewell to everyone in the pavilion, feeling relieved, but also a little sad.

    Yang Wencong, a close confidant who accompanied him, smiled and said: "Congratulations to the chief minister, there is another big enemy in the court."

    Ma Shiying waved his hand: "An enemy? No way. You praise Wang Duo too much." He shook his head repeatedly: "Come to think of it, Wang Duo is just a disgusting fly."

    "This" Yang Wencong was stunned and didn't know how to answer the question.

    "I'm just sighing. Wang Duo can't beat me Even Wang Duo himself knows it." Ma Shiying recalled: "Three years agoMr. Duo met my husband by chance one time and had a few words.  He left a few words before saying that from now on he would practice Wuqinxi diligently and he would watch my downfall with his own eyes.  Hehe, I still won in the end.  "The carriage of the carriage was light and delicate, and the coachman understood it, and the carriage immediately turned around and returned.

    "We fought over and over again, but in the end Wang Duo still lost to God. What a pity I was still thinking about teasing Wang Duo on the day when the Central Plains was set in Beijing." Ma Shiying said in a slightly desolate tone.  , full of lamentation.
