Originally, some people in the parliament agreed, because expanding territory is a great feat and can also help them get rid of the position at the end of the day. Learning from the Netherlands to reclaim land can easily cope with the pressure of future population growth, benefiting the country and the people.

Unfortunately, the Queen's opposition also made the MPs who supported the Queen express their opinions that they respected the Queen and opposed this matter, and the government's negotiations could only be cancelled. The most unpleasant thing was that France, who was about to be concluded, had a disagreement at this critical moment, and was only one step away from success.

Then what to do?

Of course, when the negotiations continued, France put pressure on Corsica. Now they still belong to France's overseas territory, but the people's hearts have almost dispersed. Sardinia is a fool, a flock of benefits that other countries can't resist its charm.

A while ago, some parts of Greece wanted to follow Sardinia and sold themselves to the queen. However, the government did not express its opinion because they were too far apart and it was boring to ask for that land. Now Corsica seized a good opportunity, but had a disagreement on key issues, which was a pity for anyone.

Things have not yet developed to the point of failure, and negotiations on this continue. The responses received from there show that they are going to hold a referendum to decide whether to include them as two provinces or to firmly establish the United Kingdom—and then continue to be controlled by France and unable to escape.

When Christmas came, the Queen gave a rare speech.

In addition to congratulating Christmas and confirming the issuance of per capita benefits, there is also a summary of the government and the country over the past year, and a few expectations for the future. It also makes the public understand the Queen's attitude in the transaction. A post-investigation by the roadside club showed that countless people still firmly support her.

The New Year is ushered in after the Christmas holiday.

This year, Moncalieri has a very New Year atmosphere. All members who are related to the royal family are here. An Feng and Joanna's parents are invited to participate. No matter how busy their respective relatives are, they arrive on time. From their grandparents and parents to their grandchildren, four generations live together, which is particularly lively.

Because this year is of memorial significance, first of all, the couple's silver wedding commemoration for the 25th anniversary of the couple, and secondly, "2040" is an integer year, and they have not gathered for a long time. The children grow up and parents grow older. Whether it is memories or prospects, everyone has a lot to say.

The happiest thing is the children, freedom and liveliness, where they can see familiar faces, including Andy, who has already started a family in Sardinia and was named Viscount by the Queen. He also applied for Sardinian nationality after graduating from university and came here to develop decisively. He became a member of the family.

Because the family business is too large and the staff is small, all capable relatives can work in the company. Andy currently works at Bida Company, managing the marketing of high-end luxury beverages. She has a great job and a happy family. She has a charming Spanish wife and three cute children.

There are many children in the family. In addition to Andy's, Xiaoyu's.

An Feng's parents are particularly fond of their great-grandson. Until now, the child's mother has not been able to touch her child yet, and the little boy is indeed very popular... Liu Yu's husband Zhang Kai is talking to Frank to discuss Chinese food. An Feng's parents-in-law planned to try all the eight major dishes many years ago. Zhang Kai knows more and chats happily. But facing Frank, he is not as reserved as he gets along with An Feng.

This is a strange phenomenon. Perhaps it is because of the identity of the couple, and Zhang Kai's family immigrated earlier. The residents respected the royal family very much, which made this attitude continue, making An Feng feel like a police question every time he communicated with him. There were many questions and answers.

Before dinner began, everyone gathered in the living room.

An Feng came in with a servant holding a gift box, and he stood in front of the crowd: "Ladies and gentlemen, I have a gift here, please collect it in order!"

"What is it?" the children asked.

"Don't be anxious!" said An Feng, "There are two silver wedding commemorative coins for Joanna and me, plus two commemorative stamps and a small surprise."

"Kids, one follows the other, from childhood to adulthood!" Frank said from the side.

The children were arranged in order of age and height. Alice stood first with great pleasure, and stretched out her hand to Anfeng with a smile: "Dad."

"For you." An Feng put the gift in her hand, "The next one is Fred's, and my cute Wendy and Janet's..."

An Feng sent the beautifully packaged gifts and everyone took them apart.

Inside are two different commemorative coins, made of sterling silver. On one side is the side portrait of the couple, on the other side is the Palace of Moncalerie, with "Jovanna and Alessio" written around them, and the center is "25" Arabic numerals, and the other is similar, but written in English.

The commemorative stamps are colorful patterns, and are limited to the public like silver coins. The final surprise is a cartoon little man made of crystal, with the protagonists An Feng and Joanna, who are meticulously crafted and very attractive. Both adults and children cannot put it down and praise them for their beauty.

...

After the lively New Year, the family still has a while to gather, just treat it as a vacation, walk around freely and visit some cities, such as the artificial island, a sea city full of science fiction, a fantastic sky garden, or a beach that is still warm in the north.

An Feng and Joanna were going to receive other friends and also sent commemorative coins and gifts.

The first one to receive was the old friend of the consortium. They came to celebrate the couple's silver marriage and commemorate the twenty-five years they had passed together. Their children and other branches also appeared one by one. An Feng and Joanna's respective friends were also invited to celebrate.

Everyone has a successful career and lives a good life. Of course, they will also have their own worries, but this is life. The two who are known as a model couple also have quarrels. It is worth mentioning that Matthew's daughter, Catherine, after marriage, finally stabilized. With children, her smile is sincere and happy... If she dares to be in harmony, Matthew will probably catch those scumbags and fill the sea.

Matthew's mother, the old lady who was the first to be optimistic about An Feng, was unwell when she was old and could not come in person, but she also sent blessings at her home in the UK. Bazel brought her gifts. His grandchildren Carl and Margaret smiled and asked Joanna for commemorative coins.

Wang Keke, who both care about, also found a home. He got along well with Mike. He brought him to attend the Royal Social Gala, which shows his importance... Joanna's friend, decades-old best friend Isabella. The child is ten years old. Joanna laughed at him and said that this is the end of French romance. Some of her classmates. Daisy, the girl back then, also started a family and worked as a senior executive in the GP company in the United States...

After a series of gatherings, Joanna asked An Feng: "Where is my gift?"

An Feng smiled and hugged her: "Can you give me to you?"

"Personal!" She was not satisfied.

An Feng kissed her: "What about this?"

"Not enough." She hugged An Feng's neck, "I'll make a wish, and you have to be responsible for fulfilling it!"

"Yeah." He nodded.

"Next time for the golden wedding anniversary, you will also hold me and kiss me like you do now," she said.

"I promise, the same is true for diamond marriage," said An Feng.

"Can you still hold it?" she smiled.

"No problem, I was only 87 years old at that time." An Feng said confidently, "There is another posture, this kind of close-range."

"Go through!" she said.

An Feng held her hand: "It really failed to prepare a gift for you. But I invite you to have a snack."

...

I went to the streets hand in hand and walked around. Because the New Year holiday was on holiday, many shops were not open and were not short of this money, because this year's parliament passed the bill that envied foreigners, allowing the remaining fiscal funds this year to be used as benefits to the whole people.

Finally, I found a Chinese restaurant that was still open. It seemed to have just been established. It specializes in soup buns and crab noodles. When Joanna saw this, she became sore in her legs... An Feng took her in to taste it. The Chinese boss and employees in the store were surprised by the visitors.

All of them were looking around, and the boss was the quickest to react: "Two distinguished guests, please sit down!"

"You guys do whatever you want." An Feng smiled and said to the boss and others, "Please keep a low profile."

Everyone nodded in understanding. They looked at their outfits and were just for fun, and they didn't even have a bodyguard. They definitely didn't want to be disturbed.

An Feng also chatted with his boss and learned that they only obtained a visa last year and could enjoy the welfare of the country that envied people this year, but he was used to being hardworking and did not go on vacation everywhere. Moreover, they were used to the later Spring Festival, including the Chinese people nearby.

"Is there any activity during the Spring Festival?" An Feng asked.

"Our traditional dragon dance, firecrackers, and the Tang suit parade that foreigners like. The company also specializes in the Spring Festival holiday for Chinese employees." The boss said with a smile.

"Not bad." An Feng nodded. It was something he was happy to see that the local Chinese could integrate into the circle. Society has a strong tolerance for different races.

More than a month later, the government gave the Queen a big gift.

Specifically, Corsica held a referendum on the proposal of the government, and in the end 90% of the residents agreed to incorporate into Sardinia in the form of two provinces (upper and lower Corsica), and became part of the kingdom in the form of the Queen's ownership in 988, plus 10 billion national welfare.

France also exchanged for a vast land of 800,000 square kilometers on the moon as it wished, and in the future, it also cooperated with Sardinia's military industry, such as the development of aircraft, defensive weapons, etc. On the issue of procurement, Sardinia gave preferential treatment and priority, except for other unexpected reasons.

In addition to France, countries with ideas about the moon formed a strategic alliance of ten countries and will contribute a part of Sardinia's lunar base plan in the first half of the year - specifically, owning the land that the lunar base can radiate to. The ten countries will give various cooperation costs.

Looking far, the G10 European countries, because of the existence of strategic alliances, is likely to develop into a military alliance of European powers in the future. Some American media even said that Europe is trying to weaken the role of NATO and instead develop its own local military organizations.

European media said that this is the prototype of the development of extraterrestrial activities and industries in Europe, with the purpose of conducting scientific investigations and contributing to future resource selection that benefit mankind... It is very famous and does not talk about the issues of military alliances and NATO. Sardinia is more direct.

They said it was just a silver wedding gift for the queen.

Joanna, who was reading the newspaper, curled her lips and said to An Feng: "But you are my silver wedding gift!"
