Chapter 370 Reconciliation or Treaty
"Alice."
"It is her. No one can mistake Alice. People can imitate Alice's appearance, but they cannot imitate her expression."
Imperial Prime Minister Roman Guterres took a breath—he was the Imperial Constitutional Democratic Party, which came to power in the later stages of the war for various reasons, replacing the deposed Imperial Military-Political Progressive Party. Unlike those military representatives, his Imperial Constitutional Democratic Party aimed to achieve democratization within the Empire.
But ironically, the Empire’s former enemy was Alice Delalaye, the pioneer of democratization in this world. Since she regained control of Amerlancy, the war has become strange—Amerlancy’s Western Pacific Treaty, as the “free world,” was at war with what they called “authoritarian imperialism,” but now this so-called “authoritarian empire” has turned around and started what they call liberalization.
Therefore, this war was not actually a war of righteousness, as everyone knows.
Alice also knew that the current situation would inevitably require the full mobilization of the entire civilization's resources, making the next round of negotiations—whether it be reconciliation or a treaty—extremely important.
Reconciliation means that both sides can put aside their grudges and fight side by side in the future. However, a peace treaty only represents a temporary peace between the two sides. If there is only a peace treaty, then the united alliance will only become a stage for great powers.
Alice slowly descended the gangway—the military band raised their instruments—and together played a welcoming tune. In the depths of the Empire’s winter, the Imperial Guard’s coats looked so solemn.
"Your Majesty is here!"
Yekater's carriage finally arrived, and exactly as Alice's feet touched the grounds of the Lucy Snow Empire, Yekater, dressed in his finest attire, stood on the opposite side of the red carpet.
From this point on, the two poles of the central continent officially met. Yeka wore a white dress, adorned with the gold and black of the imperial royal attire, and her long, silky hair cascaded down beneath a red crown.
Alice didn't have many attendants. Rafis and Vera appeared from behind her at some point, and then Yug Latto, the Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces of the All-Union of the Social Republic of America, nodded to her.
After several days of heated debate between the Imperial Ministry of Ceremonies and the newly formed Amelansi All-Union Ministry of Foreign Affairs, they finally settled on all the etiquette matters—the two heads of state would shake hands as equals, and members with military backgrounds would salute.
Yeka was half a head taller than Alice. She looked at Alice with a slight smile on her lips—Alice was a legend, but Yeka was no less a legend. Rising from a remote principality to unify the entire empire, the sacrifices and tears she endured were known only to herself.
She looked up and reached out her hand—

Allenya rubbed his forehead. As people get older, their physical strength declines. After spending so many years in remote Donetsk, returning to Amelansi felt like stepping into another world.
“Comrade Cardinal, the current situation in Amelansi remains serious. Although our country has just completed a social revolution, the social problems and the social productivity destroyed by the revolution need to be rebuilt.”
Building and maintaining a new world is no easier than destroying the old one. Alice once told him, "It is easier to conquer a country than to rule it."
Donya and the Don River region are, after all, small countries, and the experience gained there may not be applicable to the revolutionaries who have now reorganized into the Emerysian Farvisionist Socialist Party. The difficulty of the Farvisionist revolution lies precisely in its farsightedness.
Not everyone wants to gaze at the stars. Most people are actually only concerned with their lives, the universe, rockets, the future... Everything is only worth looking at after they have solved the problems of food in their bowls, shelter, and decent clothes. With productivity developed to this point, the number of newborns in Amelansi is expanding exponentially every year. In the old days, ten years was enough to turn newborns of demons, elves, or humans into laborers.
Now, although the legal age of adulthood has been raised to 15, the new generation that grew up in the industrial age is facing the problems of their time—social fairness, labor, and culture. Today's ordinary people are no longer the ignorant masses of the past; they no longer struggle with their own understanding. Compulsory education allows them to climb up the social ladder by building upon the cultural foundations accumulated by their predecessors.
So if their lives after the revolution were not better than before, then even if Alice were to return now, she would inevitably face opposition—a point he clearly understood.
He wasn't sure if Alice shared the same view, but he was keenly aware that science and technology must genuinely look at everyone equally, and that scientific progress should be made so that everyone could live a more dignified and equal life.
He thought for a moment, then nodded: "The work of the entire alliance should begin now. I have read the report on the Orcas system, and there is no doubt that embracing the Orcas system will greatly improve productivity, and—it is a way to destroy bureaucracy."
Allenya glanced at the people present. Now, the entire framework of the Amelansi Social Republic Alliance had finally been established.
Under the leadership of Cardinal Alice de la Leah and the All-Union Farvisionist Socialist Party, the Central Government of the Union has a People's Commissariat department.
Departments are categorized into three levels: Alliance Level, Republic Region Level, and Regional Level.
Dogg Enfasia, Executive Supervisor of the People's Planning and Economic Committee of the Union (Advisor to Okas, founder of the Donavian planned economy system)
Alice Delalaye, General Leader of the People's Committee of the Allied Armed Forces (Alice herself)
People's Committee for Science of the Union: Sainz Cardasheia (Sainz's brother, astronomer)
Basel Karl, People's Committee for Production of the Union (a worker by origin, who received the title of "Model Worker" multiple times)
Alliance Building People's Committee, Doyle Mafa (construction engineer by training)
Lavinia Olicates, a familiar face, from the Alliance National Security Council.
Sikorsky Mar (Professor of Automotive Engineering), People's Committee for Transportation of the Union
The elite of the Amerlane revolutionaries now faced a problem: Now that the revolutionaries had seized power in Amerlane, how could they ensure the stability of the society instead of its collapse and regression within days?
There is only one choice: continue building, continue striving. Regardless of the country's overall direction, under the guidance of long-term vision, we must continue to strive, for development is the only way forward.
