Chapter 346 1 Letter from Home
"Alice, my child, how are you? This letter is like a personal account. When you see this letter, I will have long resided above the Nine Heavens Star Gate, seeking a future for you and for all living beings on this planet."
"It has been more than ten years since we parted. Please forgive me for expressing my long-standing apology to you. This is the apology of an incompetent mother to a child. Ten years ago, it was Raffarin and I who led you into slumber—she described to me a crisis, a crisis buried deep in our homeland, the aftershocks of a crisis from ten thousand years ago, which still echo in your world today."
“She told me that if I told you everything, you would be bound by it. Saving the people of this civilization is a sacrificial existence, just as she persevered and I survived alone. Both she and I hope that you can break free from such constraints, just as you wish.”
"I still hope that you will do your thing and follow your path. In this ancient place high in the heavens, I pave the way for your future and pray that in the not-too-distant future, you and I will be reunited."
"Keep going, Alice, keep going, do as you please. I will watch, I will miss you, but do not turn back because of your longing or regret. But remember, we do not have much time left."
Alice stroked the letter in her hand; the ink on the paper was smooth and flowing. Even though they were in the far-off interior of Colombia, the Stargate Group still handed Alice the letter Alicia had sent from the Stargate Space Station before the meeting ended.
She stroked the letter for a long time without speaking. Alicia and Raffarin Low had both made sacrifices, and she was not unaware of their sacrifices. They were right; if Alice had known about these dangers, whatever she wanted to achieve would have been distorted and made much more complicated.
The night was long, but Mike Douglas made concessions quickly. It seemed that Operation Desert Storm had indeed tipped the scales somewhat. After the People's Armed Forces captured Vegas, a ceasefire agreement was reached. According to the agreement, the People's Armed Forces and the United States Armed Forces would each maintain their existing areas of control, and both sides would immediately cease fire.
News of Alice's presence in Colombia has spread throughout Amelansi. The Federal Republic's leadership is facing heavy criticism for a series of strategic misjudgments. In the streets and alleys of the capital city of De la Lere, people are taking to protest the inaction of the leadership. The Lucy Empire has been ambitious since its inception, yet the current government of the Amelansi Federal Republic has failed to establish a stronger defense system in the North.
Even as large swathes of land in the Northern Region fell, the People's Army units of the Donetsk People's Republic in Lasvia were achieving remarkable success in their battles against the Imperial Army. These veterans, who had been fighting in the Lasvia hotspot for over a decade, knew better than the greenhorns from Amelia in the North how to deal with a modern war.
However, if the Aidon Railway, connecting Amelansi and the Donavian People's Republic, falls, the Donavian People's Republic will immediately be at a disadvantage. As an Amelansi force established in the Lasvia region, the Donavian People's Republic and the Don Republic have few factories capable of independently producing weapons, ammunition, vehicles, and aircraft, apart from several Amelansi security forces and arsenals. The few major repair shops and arsenals that exist are currently operating at full capacity, barely replenishing the war-damaged military weapons and equipment.
The southward-bound Lasvia Empire proclaimed its imperial glory, and the entire Lasvia region was more united than ever before. Lasvia I repeatedly sent messengers to persuade them to surrender. The young Lasvia I was the last descendant of the Lasvia emperor, and he understood that to restore the glory of the empire, modern methods had to be adopted. The humiliation of the past was still a wound, but in the end, it was all the emperor's own mistake—mistakenly provoking a powerful force and underestimating the opponent's war potential and determination.
Therefore, now that Rasvia I has unified most of Rasvia with the support of Empress Catherine, he is still carefully planning a strategic plan to reclaim Rasvia. He has adopted various means to win over the remaining two Rasvia regional states, including wooing, bribing, infiltrating, and putting pressure on them militarily.
In reality, neither the Donavian People's Republic nor the Don Republic can be called a "Lasvia state" anymore. Sixty to seventy percent of its population comes from Emeransia. The Soviet system built by the Donavian People's Republic originated from the Donavian branch of the Emeransia National Progressive Union. The president of the Don Republic is simply the highest military commander of the Emeransia security forces stationed in the Don Republic.
They are the buffer zone in northeastern Amelia, as well as the defense line and watchdogs.
The current government is weak and unaware of the war situation. It is precisely because of their repeated concessions over the past few years that the Lasvia Empire, a country that was once casually destroyed by Amelansi, has now become an ally of the Lucy Empire and Lasvia's most powerful enemy. If they want to destroy it, the price they will have to pay will probably be much higher than it was more than a decade ago. After all, it was Alice Delaley who led Amelansi's army across mountains and valleys back then.
Meanwhile, Alice, on a high floor of a Denver hotel, was leaning on Rafis Yao's shoulder, sucking blood—even though the bloodline of the vampires had been corrected and they were no longer vampires in the traditional sense, sucking blood could still help Alice's tired body and mind recover quickly.
Every minute and second of the Denver negotiations was extremely precious. For her, the Denver negotiations were not the end of the Colombian revolution, but the end of one phase and the beginning of the next.
Alicia told her that time was running out, that the interdimensional portal to the north was a recollection of destruction ten thousand years ago, and that Raffarin Low would do his best to resist it, knowing that the civilization on this planet could give rise to a power that could fight back—compared to the enormous rift that once spanned the entire galaxy, this small portal on this planet was not its full power.
Once they have the ability to enter space, the spatial folds left by stargate travel or the light trails left by traversing hyperspace channels could attract other beings—whether they are compatriots who have survived for thousands of years or threats that will return in the future. For the weak civilization of this planet, they would be like an impending catastrophe.
Alice had only one choice: to move forward, to move towards the future, and to push civilization to a higher level within a limited time.
