The hall of the Congress was silent at the moment, and everyone's eyes were staring at Su Tong, who was slowly walking from their mouths.

Su Tong slowly walked to the rostrum, his steps were so firm, his expression was so free, and he even patted a guard on the shoulder when he walked next to him, which made the guard's face flush with excitement.

Slowly walked up to the rostrum, facing hundreds of pairs of eyes below and a large pile of words tied in front of the table, Jian Sutong took a deep breath before saying slowly: "Distinguished parliamentarians, compatriots in front of the radio, hello everyone. I would like to take this opportunity to address you this morning, as our country has reached another critical juncture. ”

From the moment Su Tong began to speak, his voice had already flown in all directions through the radio waves, and then through the high-power broadcasting building that had just been built in Nanjing, and at this moment, countless people in various streets, rooms, and teahouses across the country had turned on the radio, quietly listening to the young president's speech to them.

"At four o'clock yesterday afternoon, the British Government broadcast to the whole world that they were going to send to our country a task force consisting of two aircraft carriers, two battleships, and a number of other warships to Hong Kong to protect their so-called interests.

Yes, profit, which seems to us to be a word full of market pictures, is an axiom in their eyes, for the sake of profit they can do everything that is against morality, for the sake of profit they can trample on all the laws of the world. In the eyes of the British, because we have offended their interests in the West and Tibet, they can put their cannons at our door without hesitation, and we people are like a group of barbaric and ignorant natives in their eyes, and they can put all unfair things above us without hesitation, this is the logic of the so-called British. ”

Su Tong's words were full of anger, and the radio waves also spread his voice to all parts of the country.

"Ninety-eight years ago, the British knocked on the door of China with naval guns, and the Manchu government gave in in front of the cannons, and they drank the British to sign the humiliating Treaty of Nanjing, and then the British shipped boxes of opium to China for their benefit. In 1856, the British even teamed up with some other countries to break into the Old Summer Palace, robbed all the treasures left by our ancestors, and did not forget to set a fire when leaving. China also began to gradually change from an independent feudal country to a semi-colonial and semi-feudal country, and the Chinese nation also began a process of humiliation, suffering, exploration, and struggle for nearly a hundred years. Today, after a hundred years of hard struggle, we have finally achieved a republic, and just as we are wiping away our tears and preparing to build our homeland, the British are coming again, this time under the guise of defending their interests, and they are going to sail their warships into the territorial waters that were originally ours. A robber broke into someone else's house, and when he rummaged through the cabinets, he swore that he was defending his own interests, and there was nothing more ridiculous in the world than this. ”

With Su Tong's words, the emotions of the parliamentarians in the Capitol also began to get excited, recalling the suffering suffered by Huaxia over the years, even the political enemies who hated Su Tong the most had to admit that Su Tong's words had reached their hearts.

"History is a mirror of reality, and it is also the most philosophical textbook. One critic noted: "To understand that history as merely disaster and anger without looking for its underlying logic, to understand its complexity, is to fail the efforts of a generation that has endured disaster." ”

That period of history has left us not only grief-stricken sorrow, inexhaustible blood and tears, heroic martyrs and magnificent epics that will be remembered forever, but also the desire for peace, the expectation of never fighting again, and the determination to strengthen the country and enrich the people. The humiliation of a century is remembered by us not only for pain, tragedy, and grievances, but also for struggle, victory, and dignity. Some people have also advised me, bow your head for the time being, the strength of the British is not comparable to our weak country, but I answered him very clearly, the strength of the enemy is not a reason for us to bow our heads, we are the descendants of the dragon, our ancestors taught us etiquette, righteousness and shame, but did not teach us to grovel, I would rather die with my head held high than bow my head and live. Compatriots, distinguished parliamentarians, the aggressor's military shoes are about to set foot on our land again, and I, as your elected president, have exercised the sacred rights conferred on me by you and the Constitution, and I want to make it clear to the aggressors: Our Chinese nation is a peace-loving nation, but we will never be afraid of war! If you want to fight, I will fight! Compatriots, let's join hands and fight together! Gone are the days when the Great Powers could bring us to our knees by erecting a few cannons on our coastline! ”

As soon as Su Tong's words fell, the members of the parliament hall all stood up with applause, and the hall resounded with bursts of deafening cheers, and the scorching applause almost toppled the roof of the Capitol.

At the same time, Su Tong's voice also reached the ears of countless people in front of the Capitol through the high-powered loudspeaker erected in front of the Capitol Building, and the crowd instantly resounded with deafening cheers.

"If you want to fight", I will fight! ”，

"War...... Battle Branch"! ””

In all the major cities of the country, countless people walked out of their homes, took to the streets, shouted slogans, and spontaneously took to the streets to carry out marches, and people shouted "Fight, fight!" , slogans in support of the president's decision.

With the passage of the bill in the Diet, "the Ministry of National Defense and the General Staff Headquarters also began to operate busily, and one order after another was sent out along the airwaves. The navy began to assemble in the south, and the air force inland began to move to the coast, and columns of military columns and military vehicles galloped along the railroads and highways.

The day after his speech at the Capitol, Su Tong signed a presidential decree ordering another two million conscripts to be drafted nationwide, all arsenals to begin operating at full capacity, and all soldiers on leave to return to the army. At the same time, Su Tong announced that he would increase his troops by 300,000 in Xinjiang, near Kashmir, and 100,000 in Shenli, which was close to Xianggang in Guangdong.

In addition, from now on, the whole country will begin to carry out a census of population registration and establish a reserve system.

Alice, the chief correspondent of the Washington Post's newspaper in Asia, wrote in a telegram sent home: At this moment, the country has been enveloped by a fierce nationalism, and the humiliation they have suffered for a hundred years has brought this nation to the brink of exploding. So much so that in the past, it was just a very ordinary act of sending fleets overseas, colonizing and colonizing people's lands, and in their eyes, it was a matter of life and death and survival of whether their people and people could stand up.

The Chinese government's move also stunned everyone, and before that, military observers in various countries believed that even if the Chinese government reacted, it would only continue to march into Tibet, and at most it would only strengthen the defense in the direction of Hong Kong. They never expected that the Chinese government would issue an emergency conscription order, conscripting 2 million troops on top of the original 3 million troops, and sending 300,000 additional troops to the Kashmir region of India. Do they want to invade India? May God bless Blight!

Washington, D.A. Washington, White House

President Roosevelt sat in his wheelchair and quietly watched the flames burning in the fireplace without saying a word, and Hawkins, who had just returned home, stood silently behind Roosevelt.

After a long time, Roosevelt raised his head and smiled and said to Hawkins: "Hawkins, you must know more about their dynamics when you just came back from China, do you think they are ready to go to war with those Anglo people?" ”，

Hawkins shook his head, "No, Mr. President, I don't think they're ready for war. But it was still easy to deal with the British expeditionary fleet that had come to Xiang'a Harbor from thousands of miles away. The British hit a nail this time. ”，

"So what do you think of our little friend's move of 300,000 troops to Kashmir?" ，

"Oh! The question is simple. Hawkins shrugged. Our little friend was just giving Chamberlain a warning, he couldn't have invaded India brazenly, never will, it had to do with their national strength and character. ””

"Really?" Roosevelt glanced at his staff member with a smile, and reached out to hand a report on the table to Hawkins: "Hawkins, my old friend, this time you are afraid to look away, this is a telegram sent by our ambassador to China Jensen, I think it makes sense, you too." ”，

Hawkins opened the telegram sent by Jensen, and the telegram analyzed that the purpose of the Chinese government's move was twofold: first, to intimidate the British and try to force the British fleet back to Australia, so that the problem of Western Tibet would be naturally solved, which was in line with the Chinese people's admired art of war of surrendering without a fight. Second, if it can't succeed, then simply do a big job, take the opportunity to send troops to take back Hong Kong, and then send troops to India, so that the British can rush to take it and take advantage of the opportunity to march into the west and Tibet to show their sovereignty.

After reading it, Hawkins had to admit that what Mr. Ambassador said was very reasonable, and this report analyzed Su Tong's character and practices, which seemed to be very convincing.

Hawkins shrugged his shoulders: "Okay, I have to admit that guy from Oklahoma analyzes better than I do, so shouldn't our great United States of America say something about it, Mr. President?" ”，

Roosevelt shook his head: "What does it mean?" Do you support Britain or China? The only thing we have to do now is to take a good look, I'm going to see what our little friend is going to do. I always felt that there was always something in him that ordered another two million conscriptions and the establishment of a reserve system. I think this kid is working on a conspiracy in Zego, a conspiracy that we don't know about yet. ”
