Chapter 814: Senate Speech

Breakfast will continue.

After Secretary Hull asked, General Marshall also began to ask questions. His question was not a question of China and Japan, but of whether the Chinese side had the latest information on the armed conflict between Japan and the Soviet Union.

To be honest, Ni Hua is not clear about this question at all. The reason why she didn't know was because Liu Yimin or the leaders of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party were not clear. If one party is clear, then Ni Hua will be clear before he goes to the United States.

General Marshall was a little disappointed, with one arm and a frown, and made an exaggerated and helpless gesture.

However, General Marshall was pleasantly surprised, because Ni Hua said that her husband, General Liu Yimin, wanted him to tell President Roosevelt that judging from various circumstances, it was now on the eve of World War II, and Germany's ambitions had been irritated by the appeasement of Britain and France, and the Germans should have taken action against Poland in the near future.

The dispute between Germany and Poland was no secret for a long time, and it was not only the negotiations between the envoys of the two sides, but also Britain and France, who vowed to be Poland's backing and protect Poland from German encroachment. In the vast majority of cases, with the protection of Britain and France, Germany would not dare to make a move against Poland.

General Marshall was also a little unconvinced, shaking his head and saying "NO" a few times.

Ni Hua looked at General Marshall, who looked incredulous, and said: "General Marshall, my husband also said that if the United States can immediately implement a trade embargo with Japan and vigorously assist China**, we can provide further information to the United States for Germany to attack Poland and start World War II."

Hull interjected: "Dr. Ni Hua, I would like to ask, where did you get your information from the Soviets?" ”

Ni Hua immediately replied that it was not, it was General Liu Yimin's comprehensive intelligence analysis.

Ni Hua's answer made Hull and Marshall suspicious.

President Roosevelt seemed to have a decision in his mind and began to greet Ni Hua for breakfast.

Ni Hua wanted to know whether President Roosevelt would agree to impose a trade embargo on Japan, but President Roosevelt avoided talking about it, and only told Ni Hua to tell the ambassador of the Chinese delegation to the United States that he could maintain contact with Secretary of State Hull.

At the end of the breakfast meeting, President Roosevelt suggested that Ni Hua arrange a time to give a speech in the Senate. He will liaise with the Vice-President of Ghana and he will be in charge of arranging it.

The day after the breakfast meeting, Ni Hua gave a speech to the Senate of the U.S. National Congress. This speech was not brought from China, because Ni Hua's status could not rise to the level of giving a speech in the Senate under normal circumstances, and it was the honor of the head of state or the wife of the head of state. Ni Hua is not Song Meiling, she should not be able to enjoy this kind of treatment. Therefore, Liu Yimin did not prepare a speech for her in advance.

This time, Ni Hua did not let Hu Shi, a great writer, carry a knife, and wrote a speech by himself.

Vice President of the United States of America and President of the U.S. Congress Senate John Nance Ghana nicknamed "Cactus Jack" is widely regarded as one of the most powerful politicians in the United States, from 1931 to 1933, he was the Speaker of the House of Representatives of the United States Congress, and later ran with Roosevelt as Vice President. It was also his second vice-presidential term.

Mr. Ghana attaches great importance to it and said very well in the introduction: "Ladies and gentlemen: Today I am honored to introduce to you the distinguished guests from the Chinese Imperial Territory, the representative of the Central People's Republic of China, the cousin of the wife of the chief of the Chinese National Government, the youngest and most legendary ** winning general in the world, the wife of General Liu Yimin, the teacher of the Eighth Route Army, and the wonderful American education. Dr. Hua Ni, M.D., Columbia University. ”

Ni Hua bowed deeply to the members of the Senate, and the applause at the scene was thunderous.

When the applause stopped, Mr. Garner continued: "Dr. Ni Hua is one of the finest and bravest women I have ever met.

When Japan launched the war against China, Dr. Ni Hua, who was studying for a doctorate in the United States, immediately ended his studies and returned to China to participate in the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, serving as the vice president of the General Hospital of the Eighth Route Army, the instructor of the Eighth Route Army, and the vice president of the Field War Hospital. Shake hands and play dedication. Bodhisattva is a Buddhist term, that is, a god who saves suffering and has boundless power. We, the American people, also spoke highly of Dr. Ni Hua, calling Dr. Ni Hua an angel of the East. I believe that Dr. Ni Hua's speech will definitely bring us the charm from the mysterious East. ”

After Mr. Ghana finished speaking, he invited Ni Hua to the podium.

This is the podium of the Senate of the National Council, the most powerful country in the world today! The audience is all parliamentarians! What a great thing it is for a woman from a Chinese country to be able to stand on this podium and give a speech!

At this moment, Ni Hua thought of his comrades-in-arms who were fighting bloody battles with the Japanese invaders, of those compatriots who fell under the slaughter knife of the Japanese invaders, and of his lover, the man who was radiant and his eyes were like black gems, like the god of war in the sky, and he couldn't help but feel excited.

Today's Ni Hua wears a sky-white silk short-sleeved shirt on his upper body, a black skirt on his lower body, a pair of black leather sandals, and his long hair is curled with a pure gold hairpin with an emerald pendant.

Ni Hua glanced up at the audience and said, "Mr. Speaker, members of the U.S. Senate, girls, gentlemen: I am inexplicably moved by the warm and sincere welcome of the American people on your behalf.

I came to the U.S. to study at a very young age, and I grew up with the sincere love of the American people. I speak English, I eat American bread and jam, I receive an American education, and my thoughts are scientific and democratic. Standing here, I feel like I'm home. ”

The parliamentarians applauded enthusiastically.

The applause seemed to encourage Ni Hua, and she continued: "President Roosevelt, the vice president and speaker of Ghana, want me to say a few words to you. I think that I am not an orator, nor a thinker, but just a female soldier of the Chinese Yuan country who saved lives and helped the wounded, and I would like to introduce to you the anti-Japanese war of resistance in the Chinese country, the goals and ideals of my comrades-in-arms, and the urgent demand of the Chinese people who have been invaded by the Japanese invaders to the US government and the people to stand on the side of justice and support our war of resistance. Ni Hua went on to say: "As we all know, the country and Japan are separated by a strip of water, and in the history of Japan, Japan called the country the kingdom of Shangguo, and was influenced by the Chinese culture in terms of characters, etiquette, customs, architecture and other aspects. This kind of friendly relations was supposed to continue to develop for the benefit of the people of the two countries, but unfortunately, since the Meiji Restoration, Japan's national strength has developed rapidly, and its ambitions have also swelled, and it has begun to formulate an expansion strategy of aggression against the Central Empire. On September 18, 1931, the Japanese army launched the *** Incident and invaded the northeast of the Central Kingdom. From then on, the people of Zhongyuan began a protracted war of resistance. On July 7, 1937, the Japanese invaders launched the Lugou Bridge Incident and began a full-scale invasion of China, shouting in vain for three months to destroy the Central Empire, burning the flames of war to North China, East China, Central China, South China, the two banks of the Yangtze River, and the upper and lower banks of the Yellow River. There is an idiom in the Zhongyuan country, which is called the book of the bamboo of the South Mountain, which means that the bamboo in Nanshan is cut down, and the crimes of the Japanese army cannot be written. Throughout the history of human warfare, there has never been an army as barbaric and trampling on civilization as the Japanese army! ”

Ni Hua has a standard New York accent, and the senators are all highly educated people, so there is no problem in communicating.

As soon as the tone changed, Ni Hua said again: "In the face of the aggression of the Japanese invaders, the people of our country did not give in. At the critical juncture of the survival of the people, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party of China gave up their past suspicions, established a united front, and led the people of the Central People's Republic of China to start a bitter war. Wearing straw sandals, old-fashioned rifles and primitive broadswords, our military team fought to the death against Japanese aircraft, warships, tankers, and artillery. The soldiers shouted and raised their hands to raise their grenades, and carried the explosive pill packs to die with the Japanese soldiers, and the tragic scene was unimaginable for the gentlemen. ”

Seeming to be a little excited, Ni Hua paused slightly, glanced at the parliamentarians with solemn expressions, and then continued to speak: "My husband, General Liu Yimin, once said that history is written in blood. Although the Central Army has been weak for a long time, although the equipment of our team is backward, and although our sacrifices are several times that of the Japanese army, we are not afraid, timid, fearless, or discouraged, and persist in the War of Resistance and fight to the end. Japan's delusional attempt to conquer China by force is just a pipe dream! We want to use our blood and our sacrifices to prove that justice will surely defeat evil and prove that the country cannot be bullied! It was precisely because of the bloody sacrifices of our people and the people that the Japanese invaders' attempt to achieve a quick victory was completely smashed, and the battlefield of the Central Kingdom formed a strategic stalemate of combining the frontal battlefield and the battlefield behind enemy lines, and contained the strategic offensive of the Japanese army. Now that Japan has completely fallen into the quagmire of the war of aggression against China and cannot extricate itself, there is only one result waiting for them, that is, a just trial! ”

may be moved by the spirit of Ni Hua's sworn to resist the war to the death, and the senators applauded again.

When the applause subsided again, Ni Hua said: "China and the United States have a long history of exchanges and friendship for 160 years, and the United States has played a great role in the development of education, culture, and science and technology in modern China.

Similarly, many overseas Chinese have also contributed to the rise of the United States. Today's powerful America also has the contribution of the Chinese American people. I think there are many similarities between China and the United States, and our people are equally upright, kind, hardworking, and courageous. My husband, General Liu Yimin, told me that China and the United States are also the greatest countries in the world, and that we have the same goal and the same philosophy, which is to achieve the peaceful development of mankind! ”

"Ye", the applause broke out again.

"It is regrettable that at a time when the people of the Central Empire were waging an extremely arduous war, when the civilians of the Central Empire were falling under the bayonets of the Japanese invaders, and when the Central Empire was most in need of the powerful United States to lend a helping hand, I was very sorry to see that the United States adopted a policy of non-recognition and neutrality in dealing with the Sino-Japanese War. What is even more serious is that shiploads of scrap steel, rubber, petroleum, copper, lead, and zinc set sail from American ports to Japan, and then they become warships, airplanes, cannons, and one or two tanks, and they become sharp weapons of war for slaughtering and killing the people of the Chinese people. Here, I have to regret to remind the members of parliament that the Japanese Navy is huge, with 3,000 carrier-based aircraft on aircraft carriers alone, and where will these huge aircraft carrier battle groups point? My husband, General Liu Yimin, asked me to tell the Americans that we must be vigilant that war is not unattainable or diverted by our will, but will suddenly start one morning. ”

The words were spoken so heavily that the hall was silent.

Ni Hua prepared the speech by himself, and felt that he had almost sold what he had learned from Liu Yimin, and it was time to end it, so he changed his tone and said: "Mr. Speaker, Mr. American Congressmen, I am just a female soldier from the Central Empire, not a politician, nor a strategist, nor a speaker. I'm sure you'll bear with me for what I'm saying that isn't right. At this moment, I am reminded of a passage said by my husband, General Liu Yimin. He said that the world situation has evolved to this day, and a major war is inevitable. Any policy of pursuing the doctrine of isolation and neutrality will be proven by history to be so wrong that it will be sacrificed with blood. The invaded countries need the support of the United States, the enslaved people need the support of the United States, and the people who are suffering in pain need the support of the United States. All peace-loving people all over the world are looking forward to: Wake up, America! ”

The applause is warm and continuous, and one wave after another!

When the applause stopped, Ni Hua raised his head, and his bright eyes swept to the US congressmen in the hall again: "Please allow me to end my speech today with the last paragraph of my husband, General Liu Yimin's article on Ji Nian's comrade-in-arms, General Huang Su: Since the Japanese invaded China in an all-out way, our army has fought a war of resistance against the Japanese invaders, and has fought with the Japanese invaders without military salaries and without ammunition, food and grass supplies. Countless heroes stepped on the remains of their comrades and launched a decisive charge against the ghost until they fell under the gun of the ghost. Whenever I recall the voices and smiles of these comrades-in-arms, I often can't sleep at night and tears stain my clothes. I know that these comrades-in-arms of mine are all good sons and daughters of the Chinese people, and their deaths were to defeat the invaders, to defend the territorial sovereignty of the country, to truly realize the independence of the people, the liberation of the people, and the rejuvenation of the people, and to save thousands of people from the tea poison of the Japanese invaders! The greatness of death, the glory of death, the death of deservedness!

The ancients often said that people always have a death, which can be heavier than Mount Tai and lighter than the wool. I feel that the spirit of sacrifice and service to the country of Comrade Huang Su and all my comrades-in-arms is like the green pine on the top of Mount Tai, shining on the unremitting struggle and climbing of future generations, and protecting the splendid civilization of our country, the self-reliance of the people, and the prosperity and strength. “

Ni Hua's melodious voice echoed and reverberated in the hall.

Suddenly, there was a "whoa", applause, and all the parliamentarians stood up and applauded for a long time.
