Chapter 549: Congressional Speech (II)

The applause rang out in the chamber for a long time.

The speech of Wang Hengyue, president of the Republic of China, did not contain the slightest element of hypocrisy, and he carefully and patiently explained how Sino-US relations should develop. It carefully explains why the prospects for cooperation between China and the United States are far higher than confrontation

He was a far cry from the hard-hitting, unbelievable rumors that had been circulating before. He is very honest, humble, confident, sincere, humorous, energetic.

These are all characters that Americans appreciate.

After waiting for the applause to subside, Prell A. Carter said, "Thank you, Mr. President, for your wonderful speech, what questions do you have for the congressmen?" ”

Vincent hesitated, but was the first to ask his own question: "Recently I met with a private Japanese delegation and asked about the situation in the Far East. As far as I know, the Japanese maintain a great deal of hostility towards you, believing that you are the main culprit in undermining Sino-Japanese relations and undermining the security of the Far East. ”

Wang Hengyue's face was calm:

"I'm curious as to why Japan is blaming China for this problem. Is it hostile? Our northeast, our Qingdao is still stationed with Japanese troops, and they have provoked us again and again, whose hostility is this? Let me use an inappropriate analogy, what would you do if there were Japanese troops stationed in Washington? ”

"Kill those damn Japanese?" I don't know which parliamentarian came up with such a sentence, and this quickly caused laughter.

"Yes, kill them, it's a way out." Wang Hengyue smiled slightly: "Our army can unify the whole country, and we are just as capable of driving out the Japanese army, but we didn't do it, why?" Because we do not want to provoke a war, we do not want to destroy peace in the Far East, this is our sincerity. But what about the sincerity of the Japanese? Where is their sincerity? They're challenging our bottom line time and time again."

Wang Hengyue's voice raised slightly: "In Temple Street, while our warships are fighting to defend Russia's justice and freedom, the Japanese side is threatening to sink our fleet; In Fujian, the Japanese themselves provoked the so-called Hashimoto Incident in an attempt to trigger a full-scale war between China and Japan.

We made great efforts to overthrow the Qing state, but the Japanese tried every means to bring the last emperor of the Qing state, Pu Yi, to the northeast in an attempt to help him restore his dynasty and overthrow a peaceful and unified government. What they are thinking about is how to impose the war on China, on the Far East"

Whispers came again.

Wang Hengyue glanced at all the parliamentarians, and his voice was sonorous and powerful:

"We love peace, we don't want war, we try our best to avoid war, we want to settle all disputes with another more civilized and humane way, but at least now it seems that our approach is wrong, some countries have never been willing to give us such an opportunity, they are afraid of China's strength, they do not hesitate to use the form of war to eliminate us

Ladies and gentlemen, in order to uphold justice in Russia, our soldiers are bleeding, but who will defend our justice? Are we afraid of war? If we don't dare to send troops to Russia, I will have the courage to fight any enemy to the end, but we do not want to let the Far East fall into the flames of war, but there is a limit to human patience, let alone a huge country, and when our bottom line is repeatedly provoked, I cannot guarantee what will happen in the future."

Vincent listened to all the words in a daze, and then, he was silent...,

It's not that he doesn't know what is happening in China, but he doesn't want to face it, especially after receiving a private delegation from Japan.

But apparently he seems to have done something wrong.

Japan underestimated China's patience and determination, and it underestimated it itself. Perhaps, as Mr. President said, it is in the best interests of China and the United States to be friends.

Well, it's time to dissociate yourself from those Japanese, otherwise, you will fall into a whirlpool, I am only 37 years old this year, and my political future is bright, and I have not lost my future because of those Japanese

A congressman stood up: "Mr. President, I heard that you grew up in the United States?" ”

Wang Hengyue nodded slightly.

He memorized the materials that Yu Yun had prepared for himself. How did my parents come to the United States, how they set up their own company, how they bought a farm, how many relatives they still have in the United States, how did they get to China, and so on

The congressman looked very satisfied: "Then we can be relieved that in a sense, it is an American who is ruling China." ”

"Nope." Wang Hengyue said without hesitation: "It is a Chinese who is running China. ”

The parliamentarian was a little stunned, and Wang Hengyue said lightly: "I am a Chinese, and there is no problem with this. No matter where I am, I am a Chinese, and I am proud of it. No matter what country an American goes to, he will firmly consider himself an American. I'm proud because I have Chinese blood in my veins."

The councillor led the way and gave a standing ovation, and then all the councillors gave a standing ovation

Insisting on one's nationality and being proud of one's nationality is enough to arouse the respect of those on the left and right

"Mr. President, I have a question." Prell A. Carter suddenly said, "I heard that you brought a lot of cooperation projects, and when you were in San Francisco, you were left behind by those damned San Franciscos. I'm a New Yorker, excuse me, how many contracts do you have in place for New York? ”

"Hell, I protest," cried Vincent, a native of San Francisco, "that New York has taken too much advantage, and wants to take it all and get nothing from my hometown?" Are you even thinking about replacing my flush toilets with those made in New York? ”

The uncontrollable laughter came out, which made the originally serious council room a lot more relaxed.

Wang Hengyue also had a smile on his face: "I have brought a lot of contracts, my officials will handle all this, and we will choose the most powerful company to cooperate with, whether this company is San Francisco or New York." This is just the beginning, and I believe that with the strengthening of China-US relations, such cooperation will become more and more. ”

One question after another, when the parliamentarians' questions were answered, it was the turn of the journalists who had the privilege of being here to ask questions.

Wang Hengyue answered many questions in one breath, and at this time, an American reporter suddenly asked: "I heard that after you arrived in the United States, something unpleasant happened in Shanghai, China, and the Chinese government has lodged the most solemn protest to the British government?" ”

Wang Hengyue nodded and told the story of the Shanghai forced demolition case, which immediately caused a lot of discussions.

"Those arrogant Brits," Prell A. Carter muttered discontentedly.

Wang Hengyue then said: "But I believe that this is just a single case, and the British government does not know that their citizens have done such a thing, which makes the British government embarrassed." I also believe that there is friendship between China and the UK, and that China and the UK should also be allies, and that the British government will properly handle our protests and properly resolve the incident with the Chinese government.

His answer drew a round of applause from the lawmakers.

"Oh, what about your lady?" A reporter cried out: "We all know that your wife's outstanding wit in San Francisco has made her stand out, and at the same time she is a beautiful oriental girl, why didn't you bring her with you?" I heard that there are many restrictions on women in China, is it because of this? ”。

"Why didn't you bring your lady? Is it because you have restricted your wife? ”。

Wang Hengyue's answer once again caused laughter to erupt in the conference hall.

"Women in China now enjoy full freedom, and their rights and interests are fully protected." Wang Hengyue smiled and said:

"No one bullies them anymore, I suggest you don't listen to some rumors, if you have the opportunity, you might as well go to China to have a look, I can still afford this host."

The congressional address was well ahead of schedule.

Until the speaker finally couldn't help but announce the end, some reporters who didn't have their turn to ask questions were still a little reluctant. Of course, tomorrow's news is enough. I believe that tomorrow in all newspapers, the same headline will appear:

Outstanding performance of the President of the People's Republic of China

When the meeting ended, Vincent hesitated for a moment, and then quickly caught up with Wang Hengyue, who was walking with Prell A. Carter, and said:

"Mr. President, I must apologize to you."

"Oh, why?"

"I've been provoked a bit, and if I'm serious, I've been hostile to you before that."

"I know." Wang Hengyue said calmly: "There were some misunderstandings between us before, but now the misunderstanding has been eliminated, I also said that we are friends, not enemies, if Mr. Senator is free, I sincerely hope that you can come to China and see what difference China is from what you imagined." ”

"I'm going to take this as an invitation, and I'm happy to accept it." Vincent was very grateful, and then skimmed Carter: "Of course, I would be more grateful if you could give San Francisco more orders than most of them to New York." ”

Wang Hengyue and Mr. Speaker laughed out loud together......,
