    It cannot be tampered with, oh, it is the wheel of history that cannot be tampered with by others. As winter turns to spring, the years flow quietly year after year.  ¨N, w¨’ww.23¡üwx.co¡ïm In the blink of an eye, more than 20 years have passed by. The 19th century, the century with the fastest development and the most drastic changes in human history, is about to come to an end.  And a new century and a new era are coming.  December 26, 1899 AD.  ¡°At the entrance of the Queen Matilde Hospital in Mexico City, a motorcade drove over at speed.  Not a horse-drawn carriage, but a rumbling car.  The first one was a truck filled with serious-looking soldiers wearing the blue uniforms of the Mexican King's Guard.  Following behind was a large ambulance.  Behind the ambulance was a Tianma sedan produced by Continental Automobile Manufacturing Company with a canvas awning. Sitting in the back seat of the sedan was a middle-aged man wearing the uniform of a Roman Marshal. Judging from his appearance, he seemed to be of mixed race.  , is surprisingly the former King of Donghua and now the King of Mexico, Zhu Juan.  An officer of the Queen's Guards, who was also of yellow and white mixed race, stood on the pedal of the Continental truck at the front and shouted loudly in Spanish: "Get out of the way! Get out of the way!" When the convoy passed through a few blocks in the center of Mexico City,  Pedestrians on the road stopped, crossed themselves on their chests, and cast sad eyes on the ambulance - how could they not recognize the uniforms of the King's Guards?  A whole car of Guardsmen was clearing the way. The patient in this ambulance might be the most beloved former queen of the Mexican people, the Caesar of the Western Roman Empire, Matilde I, who was already over eighty years old.  !  More than a month ago.  News came out in Mexico City that the female Caesar had suffered a stroke.  But then His Majesty Caesar appeared in public with his son Juan I in high spirits.  It seems like I can live another ten or eight years.  But now The motorcade quickly arrived at the entrance of Queen Matilde Hospital, where a large group of people were already waiting anxiously at the entrance.  Dr. Zhu Guoxian, a cardiovascular medicine expert from Donghua Army General Hospital who had just arrived in Mexico, the director of Queen Matilde Hospital, expert doctors from the Eastern Empire of Rome, and the nurses from the hospital were all gathered at the door.  The military police who arrived in advance have already guarded the three floors inside and three floors outside the hospital entrance.  When the motorcade stopped, doctors and nurses in white coats swarmed over and took a stretcher from the tail door of the ambulance.  Mathilde lay quietly on the stretcher.  His mouth and eyes were closed, his face was pale, as if he was dead.  Dr. Zhu Guoxian, who looked less than 40 years old and was tall and handsome and somewhat similar to Zhu Jishi, was the first to rush over and press Matilde's lateral carotid artery.  Then he shook his head slightly at Zhu Juan who rushed out of the car, "This is the second time I have had a stroke, and His Majesty Caesar is already over eighty. I'm afraid" Zhu Juan stood there, almost unable to accept that he was a Roman  The reality that the mother of Caesar of the Western Empire fell like this.  He stared blankly at the comforting gaze cast by his half-brother.  ¡®Is the era of peace coming to an end?  ¡¯ Zhu Huan looked at his mother being carried into the hospital, feeling not only grief but also longing for the upcoming new round of changes.  In the system of the Roman Empire.  In the peace system around the world after the end of the world war, the role of Mathilde I cannot be ignored.  Although she wanted nothing more than to pass the throne of Mexico to her son.  But she was still loyal to the Roman Empire and the Bonaparte dynasty.  As an elder of the Bonaparte dynasty, she was indeed able to suppress a group of young Napoleons, including Napoleon IV on the other side of the Atlantic - Napoleon IV also had extremely complicated feelings for his aunt in recent years.  On the one hand, Napoleon IV certainly hopes that her old lady will return to the embrace of God as soon as possible, so that he can let his son serve as Caesar and consul of the Western Empire. You must know that in the Bonaparte family, Jerome (  Most of the people from the two branches of the tribe, Mathilde's father) and Joseph (Napoleon I's eldest brother), lived a long life.  And Napoleon IV himself had cancer for two consecutive generations (three generations if you count Charles Bonaparte)!  If Napoleon IV really didn't survive Mathilde (Mathilde never survived in history), it would be a huge fool.  But on the other hand, Napoleon IV hoped that his aunt would live a long life.  Because Mathilde's existence is a symbol of the unity of the Roman Empire-in the past twenty years, the Roman Empire has been troubled by various internal and external problems.  The first problem is that the continuous rise of the German Empire has seriously threatened the leadership of the Roman Empire in the Western world.  Although the German Empire sided with the defeated Britain in the last world war, Germany was a victorious country. It not only obtained a large area of ??rich land from the collapsed Tsarist Russian Empire, but also formed a co-monarchy alliance with the post-revolutionary Britain.  organization, and even became an ally with the newly born Slavic Socialist Union Republic by supporting the Russian People's Opinion Party's "War against France and Patriotism", which made Germany?Can concentrate its efforts against the Roman Empire.  Moreover, after the establishment of the Anglo-German Common Monarchy Alliance, Britain and Germany also established the Royal Combined Fleet, allowing the German Empire to become a maritime power overnight, with military power sufficient to compete with Rome!  Secondly, Rome's intervention in the Russian Civil War suffered a heavy setback. The armed intervention instead allowed the Russians to unite around the Revolutionary Committee headed by Nechayev.  The former traitors turned into patriots, raising high the banner of resistance to France (the All-Russian Revolutionary Council did not recognize the Roman Empire) and defending the country. With the support of Britain and Germany, they fought with the Roman intervention forces and finally Queen Alexandra.  The White Army fought hard for three years.  The Roman intervention forces were driven out of all Russian territory except Constantinople and Asia Minor. At the same time, the White Army loyal to Queen Alexandra was driven to Western Siberia east of the Ural Mountains. Finally, in the Greater China Empire  The Kingdom of Siberia was established under the protection of the Russian Federation, with its capital in the ancient city of Tyumen in central Western Siberia. This also meant that Napoleon IV¡¯s plan to have his son marry the Russian Empress was completely bankrupt, because Empress Alexandra, who took refuge in China, only  Can choose a husband from the Zhu Ming royal family.  Once again, the plan to carve up the Austrian Empire was aborted due to Dro's confrontation.  Although the Roman Empire successfully forced Austria to give up the title of Holy Roman Empire and cede Greece, the further carve-up plan was abandoned because the situation on the European continent was not conducive to the Roman Empire after Britain and Germany failed to achieve a common monarchy and intervene in the Russian Civil War. Rome and Germany  The Austrian Empire, caught in the middle, had become a buffer zone that both sides needed.  However, the buffer state of the Austrian Empire itself was not very stable.  The native Germans in Austria have strong pro-German sentiments.  The Slavs under the rule of the Austrian Empire were close to the Slavic Alliance.  It caused headaches for Napoleon IV and the big shots in the Roman Empire.  However, the real headache for the top leaders of the Roman Empire was not the external difficulties faced by Rome, but the various crises within Rome.  The most troublesome of these was the tendency of various parts of the Roman Empire to separate!  The foundation of the great empire that Napoleon III and Napoleon IV spent decades putting together was actually very unstable.  Unlike the Great Chinese Empire, which was equally huge and had a lot of large and small empires and kingdoms put together, the Roman Empire did not have a dominant nation.  Although Napoleon III and Napoleon IV spent more than forty years trying to create a "Roman nation", the results were far from ideal.  Latin, which was selected by Napoleon IV as the national language of Rome, faced many difficulties when it was implemented in France. It once triggered a wave of protests from the French people - the French people firmly believe that French is the most beautiful and perfect language in the world.  And the current Roman Empire was actually founded by the French.  Its official language and culture can only be French and this view was immediately opposed by other Roman countries except France, especially the people of Spanish-speaking countries who firmly believed that Spanish should be used in the Roman Empire.  With the highest proportion of the population, Spanish should become the official language anyway, at least with the same status as French and Latin.  The Romans who spoke Portuguese, Greek, Russian (Constantinople and parts of Asia Minor), Italian, Arabic, English, and Irish also put forward the same idea, which made Napoleon IV very anxious.  Only Latin, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Greek, Russian, Italian, Arabic, English, and Irish can be listed as the official languages ??of the Roman Empire.  And as troublesome as the national language issue is the "economic fragmentation problem" of the Roman Empire - unlike the Greater Chinese Empire, France, the core of the Roman Empire, seemed too small.  In the era of Napoleon III, France's economic scale still accounted for a large share of the entire empire, enough to shoulder the heavy responsibility of locomotive.  But after more than forty years of stability and development.  The rest of the Roman Empire developed to varying degrees, with most areas experiencing faster economic development than France.  In particular, the Kingdom of Mexico under Mathilde I took advantage of the collapse of the American and British empires.  It has absorbed a large amount of British and American capital and population, and has achieved rapid growth for more than 40 consecutive years by taking advantage of the resources and markets of Mexico and Latin America.  By 1899, the population of the Kingdom of Mexico had exceeded 43 million, several million more than the population of France itself. Among them, the number of white and Indo-European people reached more than 37 million.  The total industrial and agricultural output value of the Kingdom of Mexico exceeded that of France and Italy, becoming the economic core of the Western Roman Empire.  Moreover, driven and radiated by the core of the Kingdom of Mexico, including the Kingdom of Colombia, the United Kingdom of Central America, the Kingdom of Venezuela, the Kingdom of Ecuador, the Kingdom of Peru, the Kingdom of Bolivia, the Kingdom of Guyana, the Caribbean, the Kingdom of New France, the Kingdom of Brazil, and the Kingdom of Argentina.  The economy of the Kingdom of Paraguay-Uruguay has gradually integrated.It became a whole - the Kingdom of Mexico is the center of industry and commerce, while the other countries are the places where raw materials are collected and industrial products are sold!  In this economy, goods from France and Italy competed fiercely with goods from Mexico Under internal and external difficulties, the Roman Empire could only rely on concluding a series of treaties with the Greater Chinese Empire as an ally of the Greater Chinese Empire.  It has been maintained to this day.  But once Mathilde I died, the Roman Empire, which had barely maintained its existence for 20 years, faced a new round of tests!  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
