Chapter 56: At Harvard

Under the faint starlight, several red brick buildings are faintly visible, one of which is covered with ivy, walking on the campus of Harvard University, Huang Huiyun only feels as if he seems to be stuck in a memory, the last few years of his survival career in the United States, it was at Harvard University, there are some unknown years of old trees standing quietly beside him, the dense leaves are whispering in the wind, when he walks on the sidewalk on the side of the road, his Mustang F-2 sedan is driving slowly on the road.

Although the old appearance of the campus evoked Huang Huiyun's memories, he did not have time to recall the past, and the reason why he came to Harvard University this time was because he accepted the invitation of Harvard University to give a lecture on the issue of war and give a speech to Harvard students.

Before Huang Huiyun arrived in the United States, war reports came one after another as the army and navy won the battle. At first, the Americans all said that "it is dangerous", how can a small country like this have an advantage in resisting Russia, the world's largest army country? However, the opposite is true, and the Americans have completely changed their views on the book. Children in the United States hate wearing Russian shoes; When students at school play war games, the side that plays the Russian army is bound to be the loser.

The political atmosphere in the United States has completely shifted to pro-Yan, and even after the conquest of Lushun, the heads of the US [***] team, judges, educators, entrepreneurs, and journalists gathered together for a dinner to entertain the special envoy of the United States, Jin Zi. Everyone enthusiastically talked about the situation with the capture of the fortress of Arthur and came to a consensus.

The first is to let Yuben occupy Lushun forever; Second, it is said that this book should have long-term privileges in Northeast China; Third, for the sake of its own national interests, it is said that it is necessary to formulate a policy toward Northeast China, and in this regard, it is said that it does not need to hesitate to intervene in foreign political axes.

Even, when he accompanied several pro-Chinese senators to watch the song and dance in Washington, someone used a slide show to release a bust of the Russian emperor on the screen, and the audience suddenly stirred and shouted "Take it down!" He also kept throwing ridicule into it. As a result, there was chaos in the venue, and the bust had to be quickly removed. This was followed by a close-up of a portrait of Emperor Meiji Komoto, who was deafened by the deafening cheers of "Banzai".

Witnessing that kind of scene, Huang Huiyun's mood can not be described as complicated, and this is the situation that Huang Huiyun is facing now, a political situation in which the political atmosphere is inclined to the book, and even the people are inclined to the book.

After the outbreak of the "incident" between China and China, thanks to the $100,000 per week special payment and a large amount of "evidence" provided by the intelligence bureau, the US press circles have now been completely divided into two camps under the attack of China and China, with one side accusing China of shameless sneak attacks, which led to the Chinese army falling into a predicament and making it impossible to completely defeat Russia.

The other side supports China's just war, no matter how they distort the facts, they cannot change the fact that the Chinese are fighting on their own soil, and there may be 10,000 reasons, but China, as the master, has only one reason - to defend the motherland!

Outside Harvard Stadium, which was built two years ago, horse-drawn carriages were parked at this time, and tens of thousands of Harvard students, citizens, local politicians and journalists arrived at Harvard Stadium at 8 p.m. to hear a speech by the "president of the Chinese Imperial Bank," Huang Huiyun, who was originally in charge of issuing bonds and is now the emperor's envoy.

In the past, they supported their own attack on Russia, but now in the face of China's involvement in the war, they were even surprised by the arrogance of the Chinese, and some even predicted that "China can be overturned with just a small finger."

But in the end, the truth broke through all eyes, and the Yujun Emperor [***] team, which had surprised them with brilliant results on the battlefield, faced China, a country that they could not even defend their own capital in their impression, even to the point that if it were not for the scale of the war controlled by the Chinese, the army could be defeated at any time.

In the past, among Americans, 10 out of 10 people stood on the side of China, but now as many as half have switched to China's side, and if it were not for the accusation that some groups and individuals accuse China of using "inhumane poison gas", perhaps more people will support China. Huang Huiyun also took advantage of this opportunity to raise public bonds, and the result was a great success. It took only 15 days to sell $100 million in public bonds at an interest rate of only 4.5 percent, most of which was purchased by universities and various public bodies with funds.

In the past few years, he has been constantly invited to attend various receptions such as dinners, luncheons, and celebrations, and sometimes he is pulled to give speeches. On the contrary, Kentaro Kaneko, as a special envoy of Emperor Komoto, received very limited invitations. That's why he believes. Wartime diplomacy could not have succeeded without the victory of the army. Anyone who can speak well, even if he speaks of humanity and justice, will not be effective at all if the war is lost.

"I remember that last year, Mr. Kentaro Kaneko, the special envoy of Emperor Komoto, said here, in the position where I am sitting now."

In the face of nearly 30,000 audiences in the stadium, Huang Huiyun said that he was a little excited, but he was not polite when he opened his mouth, and he knew that for Americans, they could not understand the oriental "politeness" at all, and they appreciated courage more than politeness.

"Ten years ago, the intervention of the three countries, directed by Russia, snatched the Liaodong Peninsula that Yuben had obtained during the Qing War. After that, after ten years, I said that I had a strong will, accumulated strength, and waited for the opportunity, hoping to recover the Liaodong Peninsula one day. Well...... That's why Ben started this war, isn't it? ”

Huang Huiyun laughed, and with the help of the loudspeaker brought from China, the mocking laughter echoed throughout the stadium.

"In my opinion, this reason is more like a bandit's quibble, perhaps for the Manchus, this is acceptable, but for China, any attempt to occupy the territory of the Chinese Empire is absolutely unacceptable, I have noticed that a very small number of Americans use the phrase "you claim that the Manchurians are colonial rulers, then why do you still ask for Manchuria", here I need to remind you once again that as early as 2200 years ago, China had set up counties and sent officials in Liaodong, as for the Manchurians, It's just that 500 years ago, benevolent China accepted the refugees who migrated from Tungushetia, and China paid the price for mercy, the price was that 200 million lives were brutally killed and forcibly stolen from their homes. …… China can't afford to lose the Northeast, just like the United States can't afford to lose California! ”

As soon as Huang Huiyun's words fell, thunderous applause immediately rang out in the stadium.

“…… Before this conflict, we have repeatedly warned the two countries, in the face of China's warning, Russia has shown their sincerity, just as now, the Russian [***] team is gradually withdrawing troops from the northeast, and on the other hand, they rudely and savagely rejected our request for representation, they keep saying that they are fighting for China in the northeast, so let's see, on January 27, in Washington, some people from your country gathered together and held a dinner party to entertain Mr. Kaneko, the special envoy of this country, At the suggestion of Mr. Kaneko, an agreement was reached.

The first is to let Yuben occupy Lushun forever; Second, it is said that this book should have long-term privileges in Northeast China; Third, for the sake of its own national interests, it is said that it is necessary to formulate a policy toward Northeast China, and in this regard, it is said that it does not need to hesitate to intervene in foreign political axes. This is what they swear to fight for China! Fight for the safety of the Asian nation! In the final analysis, I ultimately want to replace Russia, defeat Russia and annex Northeast China before the negotiations between China and Russia on the Northeast issue are over! ”

After taking a sip of tea and moistening his throat, Huang Huiyun shrugged his shoulders.

"We had pinned our hopes on the United States and other countries to prevent the expansion of this war, and in the name of peace, we did so, but the answer we got was that they didn't want us to get involved in the Northeast issue, you need to know that it is China's territory, and today we can't stop the expansion of the Northeast War, so tomorrow, will we lose the Northeast? At this time, in order to expand the war and annex the Northeast, he mobilized a large number of troops to Northeast China in an attempt to completely occupy the Northeast. Faced with the invasion of our territory and the slaughter of our citizens, we have no choice. China's army and navy, in terms of the number of their men and ships, are inferior and cannot be compared with the original, so it cannot be said that there is any hope of victory. Even the vast majority of Chinese citizens do not believe that this war can be won. However, if we take a step back and say that we are going to take a step forward, as an island nation, their desire for territory is insatiable, and I think the American people also deeply understand this, right? Therefore, China is determined to take up arms, even if it is destroyed. If we can leave such a page in the history of the world, we will be satisfied. That is, "China took up arms for the sake of justice, and in spite of this, it was destroyed by the brutal Sayben." "China and Russia are right and wrong, let your friends judge ,......"

Huang Huiyun's speech lasted about two and a half hours, and the audience was all excited, concentrated from beginning to end, and continued to respond with warm applause.

For the Americans and European countries, China's large-scale use of poison gas on the battlefield is beyond their imagination, although the Guards issued a bulletin mentioning that "certain results have been achieved", but so far, only 15 prisoners of war have been captured, but the reality announced by this side that the Yalu River Army was attacked by poison gas and lost 34,560 people reminded them of the cruelty of poison gas.

What Huang Huiyun has to do is to downplay the impact of poison gas, first explain why poison gas is used, a weak country in the face of the invasion of a strong country, naturally have to use all weapons that can be used, of course, on the premise of not violating international law, listening to Huang Huiyun on the stage explain in fluent English that "what is prohibited by the rules of engagement in land warfare is poison gas shells, and the poison gas smoke canisters used by China" "China is a technologically backward country, and at the beginning of its use, we simply cannot predict the lethality of poison gas", " According to the reports of the field observation missions of various countries, 85 percent of the dead soldiers of the Yalu River Army had gunshot wounds or bayonet wounds. Draenau? Roosevelt smiled helplessly, saying that the Yellow Envoy had said that he was an intruder's sophistry, and now he was not a "victor's sophistry."

In order to listen to this speech, he even ended his honeymoon early and rushed to Harvard by train, which was the first public speech of the Chinese emperor's envoy, and what he preferred was the opportunity to "ask questions", for which he even did not hesitate to type his uncle's name to get a precious opportunity to ask questions.

On the one hand, because asking questions in person can make him more aware of the war, on the other hand, because this speech is different, the questioner can stand on the stage and ask questions directly with the microphone, and his voice can be heard throughout the stadium, Roosevelt, who has long been determined to enter politics, naturally does not mind improving his reputation in this way.

"Your Excellency, we have heard from the newspapers that His Majesty the Emperor of your country has repeatedly asked for the annihilation of at least one of the Yueben Legions, but in the end the Yalu River Army still controls Fushun! Excuse me, does this mean that China does not have the ability to annihilate a legion! ”

Roosevelt, who finally got the opportunity to ask questions, naturally did not waste his opportunity, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he asked a question that Americans were most concerned about.

"I don't think anyone is more qualified to answer this question than Kawamura Keiaki, of course he has chosen to end his life by suicide and apologize, if the ceasefire agreement in Nanjing had been issued ten minutes late, Kawamura Keiaki might have become a prisoner, you know, the attacking force was only a few dozen feet away from him at that time! Come to think of it, you have already seen that "photo" in the newspaper, although it is indecent, but as the facts say, it only takes a little convenient effort for the Guards to completely annihilate the Yalu River Army! As long as we want, we can completely annihilate any army in the northeast! ”

In answering the question, Hwang glanced at the young man, who was the nephew of US President Roosevelt, and arranged for him to ask five questions, only because he had brought a message that he was able to make a proposal to his uncle, President Roosevelt, so that the two could meet informally.
