Chapter 384: The Winner (First Update, Please Subscribe)
The war is over, but the war continues.
For the people of Buenos Aires, the war was over, but for the provinces it was still going on.
The army is withdrawing from the city!
However, they were just withdrawing from the garrison in the city to the suburbs. The most common men in the city were still the soldiers from Nanhua.
Their iron boots always make a clattering sound when stepping on the stones, but for the people in the city, it doesn't matter at all, because life always goes on.
Although Lai Zi, an outsider, has just arrived, his restaurant is now doing very good business. As one of the few Chinese restaurants in Putrajaya, it is naturally very popular among the soldiers.
With someone's help, Lai Zi no longer had to be as busy as before. When he was not idle, he would always look at the foreign woman who was busy in the store. Even though he knew that the man was missing and he didn't know whether he was dead or alive, that thought would always come to his mind.
Want to marry her.
But the question is, can she like him?
"Don't even think about it. You're already 43 years old. You're destined to be single for the rest of your life. Just give up on that thought!"
Once again, Lai Zi muttered to himself.
In the village where he lived in Henan, there were too many bachelors like him. His two uncles remained bachelors until they died. Their families were poor, so they naturally could not marry. Even though he had been a kitchen helper in a restaurant in the town for 30 years, so what?
No, he is still too poor to marry a wife.
Is it possible for such a young and beautiful woman to marry him?
Stop dreaming...you are just a cripple.
In fact, when I save enough money, it would not be a bad idea to buy a Japanese woman. Japanese women are obedient and don't have bad tempers. They are just a little short.
Compared to Amisia, there is no comparison. She looks like a yellow-haired girl who has not grown up.
But a woman like Amisia would definitely look down on a cripple like him.
Although Lai Zi was thinking this, he saw Amisia still sweeping the floor, so he walked over, grabbed the broom and said.
"Take a break first, take a break first, I'll do it, I'll do it..."
Looking at the boss rushing to sweep the floor, Amisia showed a slight smile on her sweaty face.
"Thank you, boss."
Listening to the woman's thanks, Lai Zi spoke while sweeping the floor.
"What are you thanking me for? It's so hard for a woman to raise a child."
That evening, when the store was about to close, a customer came into the store.
"Alicia!"
"Madam Major."
It's Cosette, how did she get here?
"Where is the Major's wife now? We still don't know whether they are alive or dead."
Cosette, who was sitting on a chair and looked a little haggard, said.
"Give me a bowl of soup. The soldiers all like to eat this, but I have never tasted it."
"Is that your friend?"
Lai Zi asked.
"Um."
"Then put more meat!"
Soon, a bowl of hot beef soup was brought to Cosette.
After tasting it, Cosette said.
“It tastes a little salty, but not bad.”
Then she took a cigarette out of the cigarette box, took a puff, and then spoke again.
"I'm leaving tomorrow, going to Uruguay."
Cosette's words surprised Alicia.
"Congratulations, then."
"What's there to congratulate? What will happen when I get there? I still have a home here, but I may not even have a home there."
Looking at the South Chinese people busy in the store, if they hadn't occupied the country, she would still be living the same affluent life as before.
"He's a good man!"
Cosette said.
"Alicia, if you want to live on, marrying him or being his lover is the best choice. Don't be like me..."
"What?"
"Alicia, maybe they are already dead, but we still have to live on, don't you think?"
Cosette left after saying this, leaving Alicia in a daze.
"What did that woman tell you?"
After the woman left, Lai Zi asked, he felt that the woman was not a good woman.
"nothing."
Alicia looked at the man in front of her. Although he was a little older and had a disability, he was indeed a good man. If...if Wesley really died, he would definitely hope to find a reliable and good man.
And when they were alone, she could feel his burning gaze, which made her whole body feel hot. Sometimes she even thought that if he really pounced on her, she would not refuse.
But he always controlled himself. He seemed to be uneducated, but he was also a good man.
After thinking for a while, Alicia said.
"Aren't you looking for a house? Why don't you just live at my place from now on!"
"What?"
When Lai Zi was puzzled, the fragrant wind and red lips blowing towards him stunned him. In an instant, a muffled roar burst out from his throat due to the heat wave...
When Wesley, who was far away in Africa, was thinking about his wife, he didn't know that Amicia had already started a new life and another man had moved into the home he missed.
For Amisia and many others in this city, life goes on.
…
From the moment they entered the city, the victors began to enjoy the fruits of victory.
Whether they are soldiers or civilians, the fruits they enjoy are slightly different.
In fact, for those in power, the most important thing now is not to enjoy, but to consolidate the fruits of victory!
Although Putrajaya has been completely occupied, Zhu Xianhai has not moved into the presidential palace in the city. He still lives in a manor outside the city.
On this day, the manor welcomed a guest who came from afar, actually not far away, but from Uruguay.
It’s not about coming here, it should be about returning to Putrajaya.
"Edward, we meet again!"
When he met Edward Thornton, the British ambassador to Argentina, again, Zhu Xianhai had a sincere smile on his face - he was showing off.
"Your Majesty, congratulations, this city is now yours!"
Edward Thornton made Zhu Xianhai laugh.
"Not this city, but the entire...region."
Zhu Xianhai did not use Argentina to describe this land, but used the word region, which actually told the other party that in his eyes, Argentina no longer existed.
Of course, this is also naked showing off, the winner is showing off there.
"Although we encountered some difficulties at the beginning, this place is ours now. I wonder what you think of coming here again, Edward?"
Is this a question?
Of course not. In fact, Zhu Xianhai was very curious about what Edward Thornton felt at this moment. This troublemaker had planned so much behind the scenes, but what was the result?
Not only was South China not weakened, but it became even stronger. What about Argentina?
Argentina is destroyed!
From then on, South China not only occupied the Pampas, but also controlled most of the area in the La Plata River basin, as well as Uruguay and Paraguay.
It's only a matter of time before we solve their problems.
Once South China annexed Uruguay and Paraguay, it meant that the layout that Britain had built in the La Plata River Basin for more than half a century was completely disrupted.
“The city is changing.”
Of course Edward Thornton heard the boasting in the other party's words, but it didn't matter. Britain had just suffered a little setback, and now it was time to start again!
"Just like the world, the world is always changing. What do you think? Your Majesty, I think it is time to start readjusting the relationship between Britain and South China."
Zhu Xianhai smiled in response to the olive branch extended by Edward Thornton.
"So, Britain has decided to abandon Sarnto?"
"No,"
Shaking his head, Edward Thornton smiled.
"Your Majesty, it's not that Britain has abandoned him, it's that he has been abandoned by his own people!"
