    The fluttering snowflakes fell from the sky and rushed to the earth.The slightly cold wind blows through the high-rise buildings in the city, covering them with a layer of white snow flakes. The gentle pure white blurs the boundary between heaven and earth. The whole city seems to be wrapped in a snow crystal ball, and the billboards and luminous boards are shiningFantastic color.

    It was a day in mid-November, and there was still more than a month before the New Year's celebration in Cesina City, and it shouldn't have snowed in the city.But the grand event that happened at this time is more worthy of celebration than the new year. In order to welcome the arrival of their leader, the advance troops of "Shu" changed the weather of the city and arranged a grand welcome ceremony.

    Hundreds of news channels in the city broadcast the event in real time. On the public screens in the streets and alleys, hosts and reporters from different media discussed the latest itinerary of the leader, interspersed with reviews of the war and analysis of the situation in the city.

    People flocked to the streets, rushed to the fence with relatives and friends who survived the war, trying to grab a good seat near the gold and silver square, the end of the leader's journey, and the huge square was overcrowded.

    From five o'clock in the morning, the troops of "Shu" began to struggle to maintain order, constantly evacuating the crowded crowd.At 6:00 in the morning, the levitation car team that the leader took arrived at the border of the main city, and the people's madness reached a small peak. The people who failed to grab a place around the Jinyin Square immediately shifted their targets and flocked to the only way the leader's car must pass.road.

    They knew that the hover convoy would land on the edge of the fence and drive across the ground to Gold and Silver Square.Now that the fence has been washed away in the war, the original bustling area no longer exists, and the people gather on all roads with peace of mind, without worrying about infringing on the private property of a rich man.They chatted excitedly in the wind and snow, looking up at the snow-falling sky.

    At 7 o'clock in the morning, the convoy carrying the leader landed by the fence and slowed down to the Gold and Silver Square.This is a team consisting of twelve black suspension vehicles, with double the number of suspension vehicles and motorcycles escorting the flanks. There are fighter planes circling in the sky, and they are scattered in an orderly manner on the commanding heights of the roadside buildings.with a sniper.

    There was no clearance on both sides of the road, but additional manpower was deployed to maintain order to prevent fanatical people from rushing out and crashing into the leader's special car.The Art displayed full confidence at this point, and their leader had no fear of would-be assassins, despite numerous attacks in the past.

    The black and shiny special car drove slowly through the street, and the crowds on both sides of the street were turbulent and restless, and the people waved their hands and shouted vigorously.Some people held up welcome slogans, occasionally interspersed with one or two crazy words of love, some threw flowers at the vehicles, and some even painted their entire bodies to attract the attention of leaders.

    According to media predictions, Rosie may become the most popular leader in the history of Cecina.In the past few days of public opinion polls, the support rates given by various media have exceeded an astonishing 90%, and only a year ago, when Rosie had not yet returned, "Surgery" was still a notorious terrorist organization.

    The reason behind such a high approval rate is not only Rosie's achievements in overthrowing Dylan's government, but also his personal charm.Amid the roaring welcome from the whole city, the convoy stopped in front of the red carpet leading to the center of Jinyin Square. Soldiers in black opened the car door for the leader, and a white figure emerged from the car.

    Rosie was still in the pure white military uniform, and the cold wind mixed with snowflakes messed up his long hair.For the needs of the shoot, the makeup artist put on a makeup that was too light to be seen on him to cover up his haggardness and make his eyebrows and eyes look brighter and more delicate.

    He also added a cloak unique to winter military uniforms behind him. He stepped onto the red carpet with the corners of his clothes fluttering along with his hair.After getting out of the car, Rosie didn't walk forward immediately, but raised her head slightly to look at the falling snowflakes in the sky, exhaled a breath of white air, her gentle and deep black eyes seemed to contain secret thoughts.

    The surrounding cheers stopped for a moment, and his expression had a certain unique appeal, which made the audience melancholy.The flashes are frequently turned on to record this historic moment. From now on, this moment will be circulated forever in the form of different versions of photos, and published on websites, electronic newspapers, and historical materials.

    This photo was named "Sigh in the Snow" by later historians. People have speculated about the reason why the leader sighed when he was about to reach the peak of power. There are different opinions and they cannot be unified.The mainstream explanation is that Rosie recalled the scene of the defeat of Scarlet Christmas ten years ago, but no one knew that he was actually missing Deng Huailing.

    At the end of everything, he thought about the beginning.Luo Xi stretched out his hand to catch a crystal snowflake, and watched it melt in his palm. He remembered that he fought side by side with Deng Huailing in the name of Rosie in Jinyin Square more than a year ago.For the second time, hand over the back to the opponent.

    He killed Cheng Wen here, but Deng Huailing took him home.Deng Huailing spent the next New Year with him. They bought heavy winter clothes, munched octopus balls on the side of the road, folded off fragrant eustoma and stuck them in front of their chests... He once thought about going with Deng HuailingSpend the second New Year together, accept each other's love frankly as Rosie.

    But now he has nothing, and on the road to the summit of power, there is no one around him.Rosie closed his eyes, but quickly opened them again. He noticed that his disappointment had affected the crowd, so a standard smile spread on his face again. He turned around and waved to everyone cordially but solemnly.

    The crowd cheered again, and the flashing lights flicked on and off enthusiastically.After stopping for a while at the end of the red carpet, Rosie turned back and walked towards the center of the Gold and Silver Square. The red carpet stretched all the way to the white pulpit. Every mayor had to give a speech on that stage before taking office, even if he held theThe acting mayor is no exception.

    The inside of the square has been cleared, only the drones are roving in the sky to take pictures.Rosie walked along the direction of the red carpet, towards the distant podium, her long hair was a little disheveled by the wind, and the hair was gradually covered with fluffy white snow.

    The crowd's shouts became farther and farther away, until they reached the center of the square, and all the voices almost disappeared.Rosie stepped onto the podium, and a large piece of pink and purple thyme bloomed beside the podium. It seemed that only he and these small flowers were left in the world. Victory, originally wrapped in a lonely and fragrant fragrance.

    The buzzing drones gathered around him, and several cameras were aimed at his face.Rosie held the microphone lightly, with just the right amount of sincerity and sadness in her eyes, and said calmly: "Good morning, everyone, I'm Rosie..."

    In fact, without Deng Huailing's gaze, he could also speak by himself.In the past, the other party always looked at him from the audience, just a kind of reliance on peace of mind, "...before celebrating the victory of the war, please allow me to express my deep condolences to the people who have passed away. In the past few months, no matter the main cityIt’s still the second district, many people lost their love in the war, including me.”

    "I can feel the same feelings as you. Just three days before the end of the war, I lost my lover. You may have heard of his name. His name is Deng Huailing. At the most critical moment, he led the teamGo to the main city, blow up the Poseidon cabinet, turn the tide of the battle, and die in the nuclear explosion."

    He chose to mention Deng Huailing at the beginning of this speech that will surely be remembered by history, out of strong selfishness.Since the reporters could not enter the radiation zone to investigate the truth after the nuclear explosion, Deng Huailing's deeds of sacrificing for the city have not been reported yet. If you say it at this time, his and Deng Huailing's names will appear side by side on the same page of history.Nor will it separate.

    Rosie restrained her sorrow slightly, and continued, "I believe that there are far more than one people like Huailing who died for their ideals in Cecina. It is precisely because of so many sacrifices that today's victory is achieved."

    "I hope that history will not only remember me alone, it should record the efforts and sacrifices of more people. Victory is just a ladder made of bones. I climbed up, so everyone saw me as a winner, This is the glory of the ages, but it is also a bloody and cruel brand."

    "It will forever be engraved on me, reminding me of the nature of this honor. I want to thank the heroes who died for the city, and thank everyone present," Rosie bowed slightly in the snow, "but...…We don't want any more wars, no more killings. I don't want to glorify my own exploits, because it's also a brutal plunder for all the people."

    His bright eyes were burning like flames that could melt ice and snow, "From today onwards, I will temporarily serve as acting mayor. During my tenure, I promise that I will do my best to maintain the peace of the city until I leave office. I will prevent the city from repeating the same mistakes, to completely change the social structure, lest it be infiltrated and controlled by super corporations again..."

    The wind and snow were intertwined in front of large and small screens throughout the city. People looked up at the face of the new acting mayor, Li Li, with respect in their hearts.Compared to the people's ecstasy over the victory, the acting mayor was too calm, which made people feel a little lost, but everyone could clearly feel that this person would definitely lead them to the right path.

    Rosie set a sober and calm tone at the start of the celebration, tamping down the excitement.The war is over, there are no more enemies to fight, and the over-affirmation of victory is the motivation for those who are thirsty for war, and the city of Cesina can no longer stand the war.

    He also doesn't flaunt his exploits, turning the atmosphere into a frenzy of leader worship, even if for Rosie it's an easy thing to do.He just stated his political ideas eloquently, like a frank and sincere friend:

    "The experience of the past ten years tells us that the development of science and technology does not necessarily lead to an increase in the well-being of the entire society - if we define society as a society of 'most people', not just focusing on the rich who hold most of the resourcesThis is a very simple truth, we can obtain more benefits through technology, but we cannot guarantee that these benefits will flow to the hands of the vast majority of people.

    "This is the problem of Cesina City. The market value of CyberRose is hundreds of times that of the remaining companies in the city. Robert Dylan has amassed a huge amount of personal wealth. Where did this wealth come from? The answer is that he used more advancedAdvanced technology has deprived more people of value.

    "He squeezed most of the people out of the production-consumption cycle chain, thus gaining the power to freely formulate rules. You lost your job because of the bionic man, and you can only consume your savings to maintain your life, so the money flows into Robert's account;When the savings were exhausted, he moved out of the fantasy sea system to weave dreams for you to prevent you from awakening and rebelling.

    "This is a wonderful balance model, capable of continuously depriving countless people of their value and accumulating their own wealth..."

    Luoxi spoke slowly, with a calm tone, but the facts revealed were shocking.In a short speech, he told the public what he has seen and heard since he became Rosie, from the story of Jason Ellis, to the people who are addicted to the Magic Sea system in the slums, and to God's ResidencePeople who are in huge debts and have to live underground.

    Ten years ago, he also talked about his ideas to passers-by on the streets of the main city in this way. At that time, few people stopped for him; today, ten years later, his ideas have been polished more proficiently, and there are many others.Fans, finally he was able to stand on the highest podium in the city, speak to everyone, and realize his original wish.

    The ten-year long and dull journey finally came to an end, and he held a strong authority, and no one dared to ignore any word he said.Perhaps this is Deng Huailing's expectation. What the other party bought for him with his life is precisely this kind of power that cannot be underestimated.

    The city of Cesina was unprecedentedly quiet, so quiet that the sound of snowflakes falling on the accumulated snow could be heard.The people silently recalled the changes in the city over the past ten years, thinking about every word in his speech. What Rosie said was exactly the dilemma facing Cesina. They rose up to resist and wanted to change this status quo.

    "This kind of thing will generally happen in all imperfect political systems and social systems... Our political system cannot prevent such problems under the premise of allowing the development of two technologies, the bionic man and the magic sea system. And a perfect political system,At least here and now, we don't have the conditions.

    "We are not ready for the new technology. We use bionics to replace human work and entrust our lives to illusory dreams. Under the still incomplete distribution system, too rapid technological development is not a good thing. It putsToo many people are being squeezed out of society, leading to the proliferation of slums."

    "Even if I am the one in power, I can't solve these problems without touching the root." Rosie faced the camera and said firmly, "So I have a bold idea that these two technologies must take a step back.The well-being of the whole society gives way—that is, the city of Cesina, the bionics and the Magic Sea system are banned from now on.”
