Chapter 173, Life is like a play

Ottawa, the broadcast has already begun.

"Good afternoon, citizens. I am your Prime Minister, Mackenzie Powell. I am very sorry to disturb everyone at this time.

Yes, today I bring bad news. The rumors that have been circulating are true, we have been defeated.

The London Government and the Continental Alliance have signed a ceasefire agreement. Perhaps some compatriots already know, it is the "Vienna Convention" that was published in the newspapers earlier.

Under the military pressure of the enemy, the London Government was forced to give up all overseas self-governing territories and colonies, including Canada.

I know everyone is reluctant to accept this bad news, and I am also unwilling, but now everyone must patiently listen to me finish.

...

To keep Canada, we have made every effort over the past two months, but the outcome has not changed.
