Chapter 1452 Resistors (first update, please subscribe)
The war is over.

For some people, war always ends in its own special way.

In the early morning of this day, Juliet got off the train at the Seattle train station in the gloomy weather against the biting cold wind and overcast clouds.The train station was destroyed in the war, and it has not been rebuilt so far. Juliet jumped from the pile of ruins, and the ground was full of mud.

The remaining ruins are telling people that this is the railway station.

Habitually looking around, Juliet wanted to find the carriage of Uncle Willie and Aunt Ellie, because in the past every time she came from the Olympics, they were picked up by the train, and the telegram had been sent out two days ago up.

Are they here?
When Juliet looked around, she saw two Ming soldiers standing near the broken platform with their guns on their backs.
Even though the Ming army was also stationed in the Olympics, and there were soldiers everywhere on the street, I was still surprised and scared when I saw these people in green uniforms.Even though she knew that the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty would not intercept pedestrians for no reason, she was still a little nervous. After all, her younger brother Billy was still resisting. He and other guerrillas were in the mountains and forests, resisting the attack of the Ming people. invasion.

"God, they saw me,"

Feeling that the military police of the Ming Kingdom cast their eyes on her, Juliet looked at those people with what she thought was a fierce look.

After showing that he bravely resisted their rule.She hurriedly lifted the suitcase containing her clothes in her hands, and then walked through the snow covered with cinders and ashes, letting her skirt drag in the muddy snow water.

After walking out of the train station, besides the horse-drawn carriage, there were also a few mud-splashed trucks parked outside the station. Besides, there were also several cars, one of which was standing beside two people in gorgeous clothes. woman holding an officer's arm.Seeing the officer's green uniform, Julie felt a burst of irritability, so she murmured to herself fiercely.

"What a shameless woman, she threw herself into a foreigner's bed so quickly!"

While Juliet gave the woman a savage look behind her and lamented her shamelessness, she then lamented that she had to walk to her aunt's house, which was miles away from the station.

Just as she was standing there looking around, a carriage stopped in front of her, and she saw Uncle Willie leaning half forward, with a hearty smile on his dark face:

"Juliet, my child, how long have you been here? Get in the car quickly, your aunt is waiting for you at home."

Finally seeing her relatives, Juliet seemed very happy along the way. She kept asking about her aunt and her cousins. After learning that her cousin Tal was killed in battle, she spoke in a tone full of hatred.

"It's all those damn Ming people who killed Cousin Tal..."

Tears welled up in Juliet's eyes as she spoke, and she would never see her cousin again.

"Yes, the Ming army killed Tal, he died defending Seattle. Many people died, from Seattle to Portland, many people died/"

Willie, who was driving the carriage, spoke in a low voice, his eyes looked into the distance as if he was thinking of his son, Juliet also fell silent when he saw this.

The two of them drove on without saying a word, and soon, they were stopped in front of the bridge. They were stopped by Ming soldiers in green uniforms. When they saw them, Willie's expression turned ugly. Even with some hostility.

The aunt's house with red brick walls finally appeared in front of her, and Juliet's heart was beating too.How merciful God was not to let this house be destroyed beyond repair!
My aunt was standing in front of the door, looking at her with a smile on her face, and when she saw her getting out of the carriage, she happily went up to her.

That night, the dinner at Aunt Ellie's house was very simple, different from the richness in the past, just polenta and dried peas.

However, even so, Juliet still ate. After all, the reason why she came to Seattle from the Olympics was because she had no income. I can come to my aunt.This is also the reason why she hates Daming people.For their invasion changed her happy life.

In the dim light of the dining-room, Juliet chatted with her aunt, and Allie, who seemed very happy at the arrival of her niece, at last having a chance to talk to a relative, was soon talking sadly of all her woes.

From the death of his son to the loss of property.All these sufferings are theirs.

"Fleeing, those damned vampires, after the Ming people came, they all fled, taking our money."

Elle couldn't help but curse the "vampires," who were actually bankers, and when the war broke out and the bankers fled, many ordinary people went bankrupt as a result—and found themselves losing everything.

"What's more, paper money, no one will accept it now. God can testify that although those paper money belong to various banks, we bought them with food and gold..."

"Yes, it's the same in the Olympics. The bankers have fled. No one dares to accept the paper money they issued. No matter whether it is the Americans or the people of the Ming Dynasty, they don't want it. They only want gold or silver coins. Many people sell them overnight. turned into a pauper."

Juliet was deeply touched by this. In fact, her family was originally rich, but the money was in the bank. The bank closed, the bankers ran away, and she went bankrupt, even though there were thousands of dollars in the family. The cash, but there are very few gold and silver coins.But now on the market, only gold and silver coins are recognized.So much so that in order to make a living, he had to use a large amount of banknotes to exchange for Ming Yuan at a low price.

"What is the most painful thing?"

Old Willie on the side complained.

"It's taxes! My God, we can't pay our estate taxes now. If we don't pay our estate taxes, everything will be wiped out except the house I live in. My money is only enough to pay this house." House taxes."

When the voice fell, Old Willie sighed.

"Taxation and death, no one can escape this, even if it is replaced by foreigners ruling here, this will not change at all."

Seeing her husband's frowning look, Ellie said.

"Juliet, he has so much on his shoulders now, and the taxes are so high, that he doesn't know how to keep going. But, of course, we'll try to get on."

Juliet knew that Uncle Willie and Aunt Willie were not lying.Everyone is having a hard time right now, everyone is maintaining these taxes.

Thinking of this, she held Aunt Allie's chubby hands tightly with a smile on her face.

"My dear aunt, I believe we will be able to survive, God will bless us, and we can find other ways to earn some money..."

Just as she spoke to comfort her aunt, there was a knock on the door suddenly,

"Willie, Willie, open the door!"

"It's Hank."

After hearing the neighbor's voice, Willie just opened the door when he heard Hank yelling loudly.

"Willie, Portland, Portland is occupied by Ming people!"

"what!"

Juliet yelled in surprise.

"Portland, that's a big city, why did the Ming people occupy it so quickly?"

"I don't know, miss."

Hank shook his head and said.

"I heard the news on the radio in the bar that the defenders had surrendered."

"Cowards! I knew that those men were a bunch of cowards! They, they..."

Juliet shouted a little excitedly.

"Didn't they say they want to protect us, American women? Why don't they die? Why surrender! Those damn cowards! Why don't they die!"

At this moment, Juliet's heart was filled with contempt for those men.They are simply a group of cowards, a group of cowards...

But unlike them, she was still stubbornly resisting.You watch the domination of those foreign invaders!

At this moment, Juliet's heart was filled with pride.

"Miss, they have tried their best after all."

Hank looked at the unreasonable girl in front of him and said.

"Each of them is a heroic warrior, bravely fighting the invaders."

"Warriors? Possibly?"

Juliet sneered.

"If they were all warriors, why did they surrender?"
