10 a.m. on September 20. The four members of the Pen, Fun, and Pavilion www.biquge.info Chinese Civil Affairs Investigation Group packed their bags and left the hotel. Accompanied by British officials, they boarded a bus and rushed to the wharf to return to China on the ocean-going passenger ship "Mariana," while the remaining 20 or so people will continue to handle unfinished business under the leadership of the regiment commander Jiang Baili.
The British news media began to report on this incident on the afternoon of 19 September, and were deeply worried about the atrocities of the Japanese army, which were rapidly expanding and intensifying, but the British media rarely expressed sympathy and support for the Chinese government and people, which were full of disasters and difficulties, and were generally worried that the sudden military aggression of the Japanese army had threatened Britain's interests in the Far East, and a large number of media predicted that the Japanese army would speed up the pace of aggression against China. Only a very small number of newspapers and civil rights activists expressed indignation and concern at the naked aggression of the Japanese army. Solidarity with the angry protest rallies of the Chinese Huaqiao across the UK.
The attitude of the British media made the members of the delegation deeply disappointed and dissatisfied, and An Yi, who had not spoken, finally couldn't help the anger in his heart, and the officials of the embassy and his companions dissuaded him with good intentions, and expressed a hard-worded conversation in front of the reporters who swarmed before boarding the ship as the deputy head of the delegation.
The officials of the inspection group, who were squeezed to the ground and staggered to the ground with the help of the police and British officials, were sweating profusely and fearful behind them. An Yi had already boarded the huge cast-iron stakes on the wharf, facing the flashing cameras of reporters from nearly 100 countries, the thousands of overseas Chinese who saw them off, and the passengers from various countries and British officials who were already on the wharf. Make your stand out loud in proficient English:
"Compatriots, friends, all peace-loving ladies and gentlemen, the September 18 Incident is a crime committed by the despicable Japanese and a naked aggression against a sovereign country! As a Chinese, I feel extremely sad and angry, and as a Chinese ** person, I feel extremely humiliated! ”
The originally noisy wharf quickly quieted down, and the Chinese and international students in Britain looked up to An Yi expectantly with tears in their eyes, and reporters from all over the world and people on the wharf stopped moving and all looked at An Yi standing majestically on a high place, including several Japanese reporters. All of them listened nervously, and overseas Chinese, overseas Chinese, international students, journalists from various countries, and British officials all knew An Yi's identity and the weight of his public statement this time.
An Yi looked at the excited international students: "My friends, since yesterday afternoon, you have poured into the hotel to ask the attitude of the officials of the inspection group, many of them have to give up their ongoing studies to return to China to join the army, and they want to teach the crazy Japanese fiercely, I deeply respect the patriotism of my friends, and I deeply admire the noble sentiments of everyone who worries about the country and the people, you are good!" But I must make one thing clear, your most important mission is to learn, and using your knowledge to serve the motherland is also patriotic. It's also a kind of battle! What do you cross the ocean for? In order to learn knowledge to serve the motherland, even if it is to return to the country with the idea of learning knowledge to become self-reliant and get ahead, it is also a contribution to the country and the nation. ”
Countless people looked at An Yi in astonishment, and An Yi paused slightly. continued: "Time is limited to answer my friends' questions one by one, and I can't cover everything, here, I make my position clear as a Chinese ** person: all countries and armies that dare to invade, enslave and plunder China are the enemies of my An Yi, and I An Yi will definitely use all my strength to fight to the death against all arrogant and barbaric invaders!" All aggressors who dare to harm the Chinese people will pay an exponential price for their brute acts, and I, An Yi, will use all imaginable means to redouble our revenge on the aggressors!
In the face of the evil and barbaric invaders, there is no morality to speak of, and there is no justice to speak of; In the eyes of the invaders, this world is a world of the jungle, they will wear all kinds of gorgeous clothes, exercise barbaric deeds that are inferior to beasts, and will use one excuse or another to make pale quibbles and disguises for their aggression, enslavement and plunder, therefore, we have the right and determination to fight violence with violence, and use all conceivable means and all our strength to make the invaders pay back their blood debts!
The reason why the Chinese nation has stood tall in the world for 5,000 years, despite repeated aggressions and disasters, has survived with strength is only because the Chinese nation has always had an indomitable spirit in its blood, as it was in the past. It is so now, and it will be so in the future! ”
An Yi jumped off the cast-iron stake, and the warm applause and cheers on the wharf moved the overseas Chinese and international students who heard such a tough statement for the first time. They desperately shouted An Yi's name and rushed forward, the British and passengers from all over the world on the dock were surprised and discussed, and the reporters were extremely excited to chase An Yi, and the whole scene was extremely chaotic.
British officials hurriedly swarmed An Yi and the delegation up the gangway, and the police joined hands to form a barrier, blocking the excited crowd from the perimeter until An Yiyi
An Yi and the members of the moving delegation stood on the side of the ship, waved to many Chinese Huajiao and international students, and said goodbye. Lieutenant Colonel Edward, a British diplomat, takes off his hat. Take out your handkerchief and wipe the sweat from your forehead. Turning to An Yi, who had a cold face, he said, "General An." I am afraid that tomorrow all the British newspapers will publish a picture of the general, and render the general's attitude as a declaration of war against Japan. ”
An Yi turned his head and smiled politely: "This is very good!" ”
Edward smiled forcefully: "General, if there is a large-scale war between China and Japan, does the general think that with the reality of the squadron, can he resist the Japanese?" ”
An Yi paused slightly. Nodding slightly: "It's very difficult, and it will cost a lot of money, but we can achieve the final victory, even if we fight to the last soldier and are in ruins, we will fight to the end." ”
Edward smiled a little teasingly: "I have read all the reports of the British media about the general, and I know that the general's army is known for its bravery and good at war, but the battle between the two countries is not as simple as the Chinese civil war, not to mention the battle with the Japanese Empire, whose military strength is at the forefront of the world, and the spear and sword cannot block the bullets. ”
An Yi asked rhetorically, "Lieutenant colonel." If Britain were invaded by an adversary stronger than himself, would the lieutenant colonel give up the fight? ”
Edward looked at An Yi in surprise: "General, you said that our powerful British Empire will be invaded?" Maybe, if such an impossible bad thing is really born, it is estimated that it will be a hundred years from now, or a thousand years from now, haha! ”
The corners of An Yi's mouth curled slightly: "Dear Lieutenant Colonel Edward, I believe you will be able to see this day, and it will not be too far away." I guess you'll be able to carry a gun at that time, and by that time, you'll be able to understand how I feel now. Don't believe it, the world is unpredictable, nothing is impossible, that is, in a few decades, China and Britain can communicate with each other by radio across the ocean, that is, in a few years. Human beings have built airplanes to realize the dream of swimming in the sky, and the advanced aircraft engine just developed by Royce Rawls can ensure that the two-man combat aircraft can fly up to 400 kilometers, and if we go further, we can fly from Britain to China in 24 hours, these miracles are unimaginable to our parents, but our generation has done it, isn't it? Maybe one day, maybe eight years, maybe ten years, this time is not too far away, and you will see hundreds of bombers flying over London under the cover of all kinds of combat aircraft, black pressure and bombs. Small.
"Oh my God, are you mad, General?" Edward cried out in disbelief, causing everyone to look at him one after another.
An Yi smiled slightly: "It's not that I'm crazy, but this world is crazy!" Thank you for your hospitality over the past few days, Lieutenant Colonel Edward, if one day you have the opportunity to go to China, please inform me in advance, I will be very honored to go and meet you, if you wish, I can also invite you to taste the wine made by my old subordinates according to the traditional Chinese craft, which is the wine that Chinese people like to drink, and it is more exciting than Scotch whisky. ”
Edward shrugged helplessly: "Thank you, General." I think that one day, as the relationship between the two countries deepens, there will be more contact between the armies, and maybe I will have the opportunity to travel to the distant ancient country of the East as a military attache in China, and my uncle who used to go to China will tell me that the vast Big 6 is very mysterious, and it is also very rich, and it is fascinating. ”
The British official on the side smiled knowingly, and the two school officers of the Military and Political Department of the Nationalist Government on the side also laughed stupidly, thinking that others were praising him.
An Yi was annoyed. With a polite smile on his face, he saw the crew on the dock signaling to close the gangway, and hurriedly stepped forward half a step. He shook hands with the British officials and thanked them, and finally shook Edward's hand. Said with deep meaning:
"Dear lieutenant colonel, I want to send you a Chinese proverb before parting, I don't know how to translate Ze in English, a little smaller, but on the whole I can still make the meaning clear, the meaning of this interview is: friends are coming, there is wine, little wolf shooting, there is a shotgun! Goodbye and good luck".
"Goodbye,"
Edward descended the gangway. Standing on the dock and turning around to stare at An Yi on the boat suspiciously, there were words in his mouth and nagging the words "wine wolf friend", when he fully understood the meaning of An Yi's whole sentence, An Yi had already walked to the side of the boat protruding dozens of meters away, and waved to a beautiful young lady in a white dress.
Feng Jieyun, accompanied by Hu Jiyang, stood in front of more than 1,000 international students and Chinese who saw him off, with tears in his eyes that broke An Yi's heart, and bit Dan's lip to prevent tears from flowing out. Because when she was parting last night, An Yi hugged her tightly. kissed her tears of sadness, and told her in her ear: Your tears are so crystal and so precious, don't let them flow out easily. Please treasure it for me,
