Time entered the 20th century with an unstoppable momentum3, ushering in a great era in human history. The 20th century was a milestone in the great development of science and technology and the conquest of nature, and it is impossible to overstate in any words the great achievements of the 20th century. Throughout the 100 years of the 20th century, the dream of human beings accumulated for thousands of years was proudly realized, and the nine-day moon and the five seas of catching turtles became a reality.

On the first day of the new era, the Chinese Empire held a New Year's tea party at the presidential palace. On this morning, the principal ministers of various ministries of the State Council, the principal generals of the Ministry of National Defense, business representatives, the China Charity Federation, celebrities and all the family members present gathered in the hall of the newly completed Presidential Palace. Located on the west side of Chang'an Avenue, the new Presidential Palace Building is a five-story building with a mix of Chinese and Western architectural styles, which is very distinctive, and reflects the ambition of the Chinese empire to open up to the world.

At 8 o'clock in the morning, under the bitter cold wind, there seemed to be a boom in front of the presidential palace. Black cars entered the wide field in front of the presidential palace one after another, and lined up in an orderly manner under the command of the traffic police. At present, the cars produced by the Beijing car manufacturing factory are put into the market in limited editions, and the price is extremely high. Even so, buyers are still flocking to it. The current subscribers are already in the queue for two years.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, the hall was full of guests. A host announced the start of the New Year's tea party, and the noise and noise stopped abruptly. Everyone unanimously aimed at the door on the right side of the hall. In a few moments, Deng Zixuan, President of the Chinese Empire, and Gao Wan'er, the first lady of the Empire, entered with red faces. It was followed by Prime Minister Jang Zhi-dong and his wife, and Vice Premier and Foreign Minister Li Hongzhang and his wife. Minister of Commerce Qin Fan and his wife, Minister of Shipping Shen Baozhen and his wife, Minister of Agriculture and Forestry Kwong Jiazhi and his wife. The mayor of Beijing, Kang Youwei, entered with his wife.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Jintang, commander-in-chief of the Imperial Defense Forces, and his wife, Pei Gejin, chief of the General Staff, and his wife, Leng Yifei, deputy commander-in-chief of the National Defense Forces, and his wife, Bai Sheng, deputy chief of the General Staff of the National Defense Forces, and Wang Xiaoer, director of the General Logistics Department of the National Defense Forces, and his wife. Commander-in-Chief of the Navy Fan Tao and Deputy Commander-in-Chief Liu Buzhan entered with their wives respectively. The audience stood up and erupted in applause. In the warm applause, Deng Zixuan and his wife waved frequently.

The applause lasted for a long time, and there was no intention of stopping. The guests were in a mood of reverence. Show your respect. Deng Zixuan, the seats of the adults and generals, were located under the podium, and after the heavyweight sat down, the host waved his hand to make everyone quiet. After the applause stopped, the host said, "Ladies and gentlemen, please be seated." Today is New Year's Day. It was the first day of the new era, and the central government of the empire held a New Year's tea party, the significance of which was immeasurable. I now give the floor to President Deng Zixuan. ”

The guests stood up again and applauded, and Deng Zixuan walked up to the podium and faced the microphone to signal everyone to be quiet. After the audience was silent, Deng Zixuan said: "Distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen, history has entered a new era, and looking forward to the great 20th century, I am as excited as all the guests here. Undoubtedly. The 20th century was a great century, I can tell you all. The history of mankind will enter a stage of rapid development, with the rapid development of science and technology, along with new inventions and creations, the dream of mankind will be realized in this century. ”

The applause rang out again, and Deng Zixuan continued: "Since the establishment of the Guangzhou Military Government in Guangzhou and the establishment of the Chinese Empire, the Chinese nation has gone through 20 years in the flames of war. 20 years in the long river of history in the flick of a finger, people are unbearable to look back on, mixed feelings. Historically, every time a war broke out in China, the land of China was either full of corpses or the people were struggling to survive, and the losses of people and property caused by the war were immeasurable. The Taiping Rebellion is the best proof of this, and his destruction of Chinese society has reached an unprecedented level. ”

"Throughout history, the change of dynasties, foreign invasions, uprisings and rebellions are all forced by the people at the bottom to raise the banner of resistance. At the beginning, these rebels all took the common people of the world as their own responsibility, and the slogans were shouted loudly, but what was the final outcome, when the rebels gave up their original oath and became the ruler of the people, the vicious circle of history is all deplorable. To put it bluntly, the evil imperial system is an insurmountable gap for China's successive rulers. ”

"The reason why I started the rebellion was also because I was forced by the corrupt and incompetent Manchu government. As a person with the world in mind, I can't stand the incompetence of the Manchu court, the servitude of external servitude, and the brutal rule of the interior. In particular, I am heartbroken to see that Western countries have left us far behind, and especially to see foreigners flaunting their might in the land of China. However, the internal and external conditions at that time did not allow us to repeat the mistakes of history. ”

For this reason, I carefully studied the lessons of the previous rebellions and made preparations for 10 years in a different way. Now it has been proved that we have chosen the right path, we have always implemented the political proposition of taking the world as the common people and the people as the well-being, united all who can unite people, and resolutely not took the road of the supremacy of imperial power. Although we fought continuously, the social fabric was not massively destroyed. ”

"On the contrary, our economy has developed at a high speed in successive wars, which has no precedent in the history of the world. We have ensured that the economic growth rate has reached 20% for 10 consecutive years, and the statistics are not accurate or even higher, and with the continuous expansion of our overseas market, the growth rate of 20% can be stable for 20 years. I can guarantee that in 20 years, the Chinese Empire will be the richest country in the world! Thunderous applause rang out again.

Deng Zixuan continued: "The Chinese nation is a hardworking and intelligent nation, and in the future, we will shoulder the heavy responsibility of leading the world, which is the historical mission of the Chinese nation." Our civilization can continue for 5,000 years in the long river of history, which shows that our civilization is the development direction of the future history of civilization, and we must not only be a powerful empire, but also a responsible big country. ”

"The advanced nature and compatibility of Chinese civilization are the wonders of the world's civilization. History has indisputably told us that the Chinese civilization will not refuse any foreign civilization, and will melt the essence of foreign civilization very well, in history, the Southern Xiongnu, the Khitan nation has completely melted into a member of the Han nation, and the land of China has been unable to see their original traces. The powerful Yuan Empire, the Mongols who lived in the Central Plains and even in the south of the Yangtze River, were also melted away without a trace. ”

"Since the Manchus have conquered the country, they have adopted Chinese culture as the foundation of their country, and after more than 200 years of integration, the original national identity of the Manchus has disappeared. The Manchus at the bottom could not even speak Manchu, and basically integrated with the Han nation. This alone shows how terrible the compatibility of Chinese culture is, so we have all the more reason to believe that Chinese civilization will surely shine in the world in the future. ”

Deng Zixuan paused, took a sip of tea, and continued: "Looking back on the past, don't forget history, and when a new era begins, we must look forward to the future." In the next 100 years of the 20th century, science and technology will produce a blowout speed, and the whole world will undergo earth-shaking changes. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's too far, let's talk about the achievements of the land of China. Up to now, our railway construction is still making great progress. Our trunk lines Beijing-Shanghai Railway, Beijing-Guangzhou Railway, and Huaihai Railway are playing a leading role. Our Beijing-Harbin railway has been extended to Vladivostok, and construction is currently underway from Vladivostok to Temple Street in the north. The railways from Manchuria to Chita and Kulen to Ulan-Ude will be opened to traffic in the middle of this year. ”

"The Lanxin Railway, the main artery in our western region, has reached Huocheng on the border of China and Kazakhstan, and is now building the Southern Xinjiang Railway. Our South-Central Railway is connected to Hanoi and our South-West Railway is connected to the Myanmar Railway network. At present, the Imperial Railway Corporation is building the railways from Mandalay to Tawang, Tawang to Nyingchi, and Nyingchi to Lhasa. Thunderous applause rang out again.

"The next step is to pass through the Indochina Peninsula into the territory of the Republic of Lanfang, and extend all the way to Singapore in the Malay Peninsula. The construction of railways was a long-term national policy of the empire, and investment was to be gradually increased. Some people describe the railway, the train rings gold 10,000 taels, this is not false at all, where the train goes, where the economy will have a blowout, the railway for the rich side and even the economy, its role is immeasurable. If you want to get rich, you must first build roads, which has become the consensus of all the people. ”

"As for the construction of regional railways, I will not count them as many as a treasure, but let's talk about our industrial construction achievements??????。 Finally, I wish you all good health and all the best in the new year! The applause was thunderous and enduring. The hour-long speech made everyone feel that time flies and is not enjoyable. Deng Zixuan's wonderful speech covered many fields such as politics, history, economy, and education. His erudition overwhelmed everyone present.

The host of the last event announced that the newly formed Imperial Central Song and Dance Troupe will perform the program, accompanied by the Central Symphony Orchestra for the first time, and there are many foreign faces in the symphony orchestra, all of whom are musicians selected from prisoners of war. A slim announcer walked up and said in a sweet voice: "First of all, Miss Fangfang will sing and sing about the motherland." A beautiful girl walked up to the stage a little shyly.

The beautiful melody sounded, "They all say that your flowers are really prosperous, they all say that your fruits are really fruitful, they all say that your land is really fertile, and they all say that your road is really vast." Motherland, my motherland, I dedicate my magnificent youth to you, may you always be young and always happy??????。 (To be continued......)

PS: The twentieth century is coming, and the empire wants to show its sword on the stage of the world.
