Chapter 820: Take Back Everything
"............" A peanut landed on the wooden pier and kept rolling, making a 'gurgling' sound, which was small but beautiful. From the sky, too, the chirping of seabirds could be heard.
Clearly, even in winter, these seabirds are still spending time on their activities. In fact, it is said that in later generations, every winter, a group of seagulls entered the urban area of Tianjin from the sea and came to forage near the Xiaoliuzhuang pontoon bridge in Hedong District.
So for photographers who like to photograph birds, this has become a benefit.
But these things have little to do with the moment, in fact, at this moment, in addition to the sound of seabirds in the sky, all that is left on the pier is the sound of the waves crashing on the shore in the harbor...
Other than that, the huge harbor was almost dead silent, without the slightest sound.
Naturally, there is also the sound brought by the peanut just now, but this sound, except for the people next to him, I'm afraid few people will notice it. After all, the sound is too quiet, and if you are not careful, even if you stand within a meter of the place where the peanuts fell, I am afraid you may not be able to feel the sound of the peanuts falling.
On the other hand, it seems that the sound of the peanut falling on the wooden board of the dock is likely to alarm others. The owner of the peanut hurriedly picked it up from the wooden board not long after the peanut had rolled down.
It's just that although the range of his movements is relatively large, no one on the dock looks at him at all, not even a glance. Because at this time, almost all the people on the dock focused their attention on the broadcast just now. Noticing this, the man shrugged his shoulders and stood up from the dock as usual. Pretend nothing happened...
It's just that, although it seems to be nothing on the surface, in fact, this person's heart is as excited as everyone else, and even after picking up the peanuts, his hand is still shaking, and he almost dropped the peanuts in his hand to the ground again...
Fortunately, he quickly noticed this, and quickly put his hand in his pocket...
ββββββββββββββββββββββββ
With Yan Shao's speech explained. The entire harbor fell into a deathly silence, and almost the entire harbor did not make a sound. Seeing that seemed to be the time, after a while. Suddenly, a young man jumped out of the crowd and shouted from the harbor with a very excited expression!
"Long live, long live the President!"
That kind of passionate emotion can almost be easily distinguished on his excited face.
Maybe it's because I'm too excited. Even his youthful face became a little distorted. It's just that he himself doesn't seem to care at all. Just there waving his fists and shouting loudly.
His voice was like a domino, just a gentle push brought about a chain reaction.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the originally deathly silent dock suddenly changed dramatically. After the silence ended, the crowd in the harbor shouted excitedly and excitedly on the pier. The sound of hooray is almost like a tsunami in the mountains. Meanwhile. A similar sound was heard in the direction of the city.
Despite the great distance, the people on the pier could hear the sounds clearly.
If the national anthem was just sung in unison, the air almost vibrate. Then this time is definitely not inferior to the last time, even the birds that were flying freely over the city are all frightened by this shout, and the pets living in the city are even more frightened to look at their owners, as if they are crazy and shouting there, and...
Moreover, last time, because of the national anthem itself, and because Yan Shao was going to give a speech next, it lasted for more than three minutes at most. Even if some people can't stop singing, they have to keep their mouths shut when others stop them.
But this time, almost everyone was cheering, and no one came forward to stop it at all.
Not far from Mr. and Mrs. Tharris, a young man who could look like a sailor shouted excitedly, waving his arms vigorously and shouting loudly to several of his fellow sailors beside him.
"I said a long time ago, this country should be led by the president!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he could see the man shouting excitedly again.
And after hearing his words, without even waiting for the sailors next to him to respond, there were already loud echoes on the side.
"That's right, the idiots in Congress should have let them get out of the way a long time ago, and they don't want to think about how our country could be so prosperous without the president! At the beginning, they had been chirping crookedly for a long time just about sending troops to Russia, and if it wasn't for the president's forcible promotion, I'm afraid we wouldn't even be able to see the edge of Yekaterinburg! Those guys even dare to go around looking for trouble with the big president! Don't look at yourself to see if you have that qualification! β
"And during the Korean War, too, those guys knew that they were pulling the president's hind legs, and before the war was over, they wanted to remove the president. They also don't want to think about it, without a big president, can they have the ability to lead the country? Which of those foreigners is not a jackal who eats people and does not spit out bones, if there is no president, if those politicians are really allowed to come to power, I am afraid that they will already pounce on us and find a way to clean us! β
Saying this, the last person to speak also shouted excitedly along with the people around him.
It was boiling, and in addition to the sound of long live on the dock, there were only voices of support for Yan Shao. Even if there were a few dissenting voices, they were casually suppressed.
Even in this case, it is difficult to say whether anyone would dare to speak out against it...
Such a scene is not only in the docks of Tianjin, but also in the whole of Tianjin. No, something similar is happening all over China. This speech was undoubtedly a great success. It not only gave Yan Shao's voice the response he wanted, but also showed everyone Yan Shao's huge influence on the country...
On the other hand, when the whole country was shaking the excited shouts of more than 500 million Chinese, those hiding in high-end apartments, looking out the window, looked at the scene one by one...
Because they know very well that they have already lost, completely lost...
And on the other hand. Looking at the apartment not far away, several people from the special affairs bureau and the police station couldn't help but show a sneer.
Wireless broadcasting equipment, although slightly less expensive than cable broadcastingββββββ of course. This just refers to this era, if it is the kind of picky cable of later generations, in order to seek good sound quality, no matter how much money is spent on the cable, it will not feel too much. No doubt. There is simply no way to compare the cost of wireless broadcasting with cable broadcasting. Because the latter is definitely a hundred times more expensive than the former.
In any case, wireless broadcasting is definitely not a cheap thing in this day and age, even if it does cost less than cable broadcasting. But for such an emerging product, the cost is unimaginable.
What's more, even for Yushi Group, it is not easy to produce this kind of thing on a large scale, and the time given by Yan Shao is only two months.
Although in order to achieve Yan Shao's order. During this time, the relevant units of Yushi Group can be said to have sweated. But on the other hand. Even so, the Yushi Group only barely completed the task, and in fact, the number of radio stations was very tight. After all, there are so many cities, counties, towns and townships in the country, even if one is allocated to each locality, it is a large number.
What's more, there are many cities, such as Shanghai, Beijing, Tianjin and even Chengdu, which can definitely not be solved by one or three or five devices.
Therefore, in the process of implementation, the installation position of each equipment is very particular. It's impossible to find a random place to put it up, because that would likely waste a valuable piece of equipment.
But this time...
You must know that since the place where these opposition people live can be called an 'aristocratic community', the living environment is naturally quite good. If nothing else, at least it's very quiet compared to other places, which means that there aren't too many people around.
According to the plan of the national government, this kind of equipment needs to be installed in some places similar to squares.
But now...
The Nationalist Government actually installed these things in front of the main gate of that community, and even a large number of people surrounded them from all directions, wanting to listen to Yan Shao's radio nearby, which can be imagined as a naked slap in the face. Naturally, these are all deliberately done by Yan Shao.
And at this moment, looking at the crowd outside the window who were still cheering 'Long live' and Yan Shao's name, the people in the room had a sense of shame and indignation in addition to their dead faces.
It's just that at this moment, in the face of Yan Shao, they have no second choice except to surrender and admit defeat...
ββββββββββββββββββββββββ
As mentioned earlier, almost every one of the people standing here has experienced that chaotic time. It is precisely because of this that they will cherish peace and stability even more. After all, that kind of life that people are not as good as dogs, they really don't want to taste it anymore...
It is precisely because of this that they will support Yan Shao. Because Yan Shao brought them the life they once dreamed of, and at the same time gave them dignity...
Unlike others, Yan Shao truly understands what his people need.
They don't want empty promises, much less freedom and republicanismββββββ which are too advanced for them, or more basic. And those so-called real things are sufficient food, warm clothes, a house to live in, and when you see a doctor, don't be forced to endure because you can't afford ββββββ medicine.
In the same way, they need to be dignified because they are human beings, not because they are just ordinary people. They had to endure the insults and oppression of the landlords, as well as the vampires in the factories, who almost didn't treat people as human beings.
No matter what country it is. Similar things are all existing, and China is naturally the same.
In fact, the situation in China is already good. In the United States, workers used to work 14 to 16 hours a day, sometimes as long as 18 hours, but the wages were very lowββββββ of course, only relatively. Once upon a time, the overseer of a shoe factory in Massachusetts made an arrogant claim: "Let a strong, able-bodied 18-year-old man work next to any of the planes here." I was able to make his hair gray by the age of 22. β
As you can imagine, for the workers of this era, the word 'vampire'. Definitely not an exaggeration. If this were not the case, Soviet Russia would not have been able to rise to prominence in Russia, with the support of almost all the working class.
However, corresponding to these vampires, Yan Shao is completely different.
Although Yan Shao is also a capitalist. Even one of the largest capitalists in the world. But this is the capitalist. It was the first to sign an eight-hour work day ordinance. The working hours of his factory workers were reduced to eight hours, and their wages rose almost every year, which made every worker proud to work in the Yushi Group, and the laws he signed were almost all inclined to the working class and the peasant class. And those parliamentarians who represent the big landlords and big capitalists, whenever Yan Shao wants to get through some plans that are good for the common people, but they are not good for them at all, they are the first to jump out and obstruct them. Over time, even the most stupid people are. I also know who I should choose...
Even when those people jumped out, they seemed to be talking very powerfully. Those reasons seem to be very mysterious, giving people a feeling of 'uncertainty'. But the people only recognized one thing, that is, these 'unclear' plans did not benefit them at all, so they naturally had no reason to support the Congress and those who stood behind the MPs...
Moreover, it's hard to say anything else, but Yan Shao is still doing a very good job of patriotic education or something.
It can be said that Yan Shao's success has made the vast majority of Chinese people understand one thing, that is, the world is very cruel. It can even be said that all those powers are surrounded by China, ready to take a bite on China.
It would be great if China could be directly put to deathββββββ of course, Yan Shao did not lie in this matter.
This also gives the Chinese people a strong sense of crisis, after all, even if you just look at the map, you can understand what the international situation is like today.
In addition, there is a sense of honor of the Chinese people. Earlier, Yan Shao's way of improving the sense of honor of the Chinese people was only limited to some things. For example, the industrial strength that has been improved every year, by the way, is compared with foreign powers, so that the Chinese people can have a more direct understanding.
In the beginning, it was a good idea.
After all, in this way, it is very honorable to give the Chinese people a sense of pride. This was especially true of the subsequent Shandong Campaign, after which Yan Shao also built many magnificent buildings, so that the Chinese people had something that could be seen and touched...
Finally, there was the expedition to Europe, and the excellent performance of the expeditionary force in Europe almost surprised everyone. Especially after the expeditionary force played a role in Europe that was not inferior to that of the coalition army, there are many Chinese people who think that there is not much gap between China and the coalition army todayββββββ which is of course an illusion, but Yan Shao did not debunk this illusion, because Yan Shao needs this illusion and needs to use this illusion to enhance the self-confidence of the Chinese people.
Therefore, instead of debunking it, Yan Shao ordered people to publicize it in private.
After learning about this, the other countries did not say much, although they were a little unimpressed, after all, they still needed China to send more soldiers to the battlefield on the Western Front to fill the trenches.
Of course, at that time, there were still some more sober Chinese people, and they knew very well that there was still a big gap between China and the great powers today. But this qiΔ, after sending troops to Russia, completely changed.
With two-thirds of Russia's territory, China has become a vast empire that spans Europe and Asia. When it comes to contiguous territory, almost no country in the world has a larger territory than China.
And when it comes to other words. The gap is just as stark.
Even just a glance at the newly published world regions can easily make the Chinese people feel a sense of pride. Not to mention the important role that China plays in many international affairs.
Seeing that China's status in the international community is getting higher and higher. The national strength is also getting stronger and stronger, and even those foreigners who used to look at people with their nostrils in the past have begun to communicate with a posture that is close to equality, which they can personally experience.
Similarly, this also made them deeply understand one thing, that is, this qiΔ is all brought by Yan Shao...
And this qiΔ. All in a short period of seven years, no, to be exact, it was a few months away from completing seven years. And because of that. That's why they believe in Yan Shao's promise and are willing to believe in Yan Shao's promise.
Twenty years...
They are looking forward to it, looking forward to another glory and miracle that they can usher in twenty years later...
ββββββββββββββββββββββββ
Stand on the dock and watch the excited crowd around you. Mr. and Mrs. Tharis and the girl named Naya had to cover their ears with their hands. He also looked at the fanatical crowd around him with a look of horror.
Even the black-clothed men who came to pick them up before, who looked very calm, were standing beside them at this moment, shouting Yan Shao's name with a fanatical expression.
Perhaps, at this moment, for the Taris couple, these people in front of them are no different from the cultists...
However, at this moment, those cultists were there cheering regardless of it. Almost to the point where it was impossible to stop, after about half an hour, the tide stopped slightly. And after coming to their senses, the men in black who were in charge of picking up and dropping off the Tharis couple and their families. He also looked at them apologetically.
After all, the purpose of their trip was to pick them up. Now he left behind the guests and stood aside and cheeredββββββ if it was just an ordinary person, it was nothing, the key was that the identities of these people in front of him were very different.
Leaving aside the father-daughter relationship between Mr. and Mrs. Taris and Elaino, their relationship with Yan Shao alone is enough to make many people in China think twice. Now that he has neglected them, if he lets the people above know, I am afraid that a reproach will fall on his head in the blink of an eye.
So after calming down a bit, the men soon approached Mr. and Mrs. Taris with apologetic faces, apologizing for their actions.
On the other hand, while Mr. and Mrs. Taris waved their hands to indicate that they were nothing, they had a look of apprehension on their faces.
The scene just now already frightened them.
It wasn't just the frenzy of the people around them that frightened them, even though they knew before they came how prestigious the Chinese who used to write novels at their publishing house now had in China.
But they never imagined that Yan Shao could have such influence in China, and even make the whole country fanatical about him.
That kind of fanatical love is terrifying to them.
But what really frightened them was Yan Shao's previous remarks on the radio.
Just as Yan Shao had already said on the radio, the friends were indeed surprised. At least almost all of the 'AIA' people who heard the broadcast were shocked, and they didn't know what Yan Shao's previous remarks meant.
After all, in the history of modern diplomacy, there has never been such a statement that is almost naked, and more importantly, it is even more surprising that this remark was actually made by the head of state of a country. After all, anyone can say this, but Yan Shao cannot.
It's just that as for what kind of reaction to Yan Shao's words, those friends have no choice. After all, today's China is no longer the China of seven years ago, and they are no longer the same as they were seven years ago, and the changes that have taken place over the years have changed many things, and they have not been able to do whatever they want in China as usual, but on the other hand, if they do not stop and warn Yan Shao's remarks, they can fully imagine that one day in the future, the Chinese army will suddenly attack from all directions, cooperate with the resistance of those colonies, and completely drive the foreign powers out of East Asia and Southeast Asia...
Nature. That's all the diplomats were worried about, and for Tharris, he didn't think about it at all. Yan Shao would actually say such a remark.
After all, in his cognition, Yan Shao has always been a very gentle and calm person, not like a person who would say such a remark at allββββββ Yan Shao's relationship with the Tharis couple is naturally very close, and it is also because of this relationship that after Yan Shao left France, the Tharis couple more or less taught themselves a little bit of Chinese.
Merely...
Not getting started at all.
However, after the outbreak of World War I, the expeditionary force went to Europe to fight. During this period, a large number of Chinese laborers and others also came to France. During this period, Taris hired a very good Chinese teacher who knew French to teach him Chinese.
Although the Chinese language is broad and profound. So that Taris has not understood many meanings in Chinese even now. However, there is absolutely no problem in speaking and listening in the ordinary sense. Therefore, the Tharis couple can be said to have heard Yan Shao's remarks just now, and they can't imagine that the remarks just now will actually come from Yan Shao's mouth, and what worries them even more is what Elanon's life is by Yan Shao's side...
And at the same time. Naya, who also knows some Chinese. After hearing the above remarks, recalling the fanatical feelings of those Chinese around me just now, while feeling a little frightened, I also had a deep curiosity about Yan Shao...
After all, in France, there is no man who can cause such a big sensation as Yan Shao.
While Tharis and the others were deeply worried, the men in black seemed to remember their duties and hurriedly hugged Tharis and his wife and left the dock.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββ
Yan Shao's remarks may seem a bit out of line to many people. Therefore, after the news spread, countries naturally talked about it. This was true even within the national government.
After all, many people in the Nationalist Government have become accustomed to the habit of 'valuing peace', and Yan Shao's sudden remarks made such radical remarks naturally made them feel a little unbearable.
However, on the other hand, after Yan Shao's remarks reached Japan, they caused a different effect.
"I really envy the Chinese, who can have such a wise leader, unlike our country, which is basically rotten to the core..."
In a tavern, several officers of the Japanese Army, drinking sake, shouted loudly in a voice that could almost be described as noise.
"Yes! Not only the leaders, but even the entire government has been completely corrupted, and those politicians only know how to lick the ass of those white ghosts all day long, and they don't even have any self-esteem, and they don't even think that those white ghosts are also our enemies..."
"That's right, the one named Yan Shao is right, in the end, our real enemies are still those white ghosts......... If we fight with the Chinese to lose both, won't it be those white ghosts who will get the benefits in the end? β
"It can't be said that if we don't defeat China first, how can we occupy Manchuria, without Manchuria, what will the empire talk about conquering the world, what will it talk about liberating the Far East!"
"But now the Chinese are not easy to deal with, even if we can really defeat the Chinese, will we get any benefits in the end?" In the end, it will be like now, all the benefits will go to those white ghosts, and our country and our people will only be burdened with heavy debts, does this really make sense..."
At this point, the officers in the tavern were all silent.
While the whole world was surprised by Yan Shao's remarks, these remarks also had a great impact on Japan, which was across the sea. One of the biggest influences was that Yan Shao pointed the spearhead directly at the British and American powers, and at the same time gave himself a very high mission.
The Japanese can be said to have always been disgusted with the Anglo-American powers, except for a period of the Anglo-Japanese alliance, when Japan's sense of the British was not bad, and other periods can be said to...
It is precisely for this reason that Yan Shao's remarks have a certain resonance in Japan, of course, this is mainly because China has shown great strength today. It is so strong that the Japanese almost don't believe that they can defeat China, otherwise even if Yan Shao said this, it is estimated that nothing will change.
After all, if China is weak, there is no value in cooperation, in this case, it is better to be more practical than the jungle...
But the problem is that China is very powerful now, so the Japanese have to be realistic...
Although there are still many people in Japan who are hostile to China, it has to be said that at least the change has begun. As long as there is a change, then everything is possible, but in the end, China and Japan still have to divide a priority, not to mention that the time required for this change is too long, if it can hurt Japan and subdue it, it will undoubtedly greatly shorten this time. And Yan Shao doesn't have to worry about fighting too hard, it will make Japan hate China, because Yan Shao knows very well what kind of dog-legged posture Japan is in later generations, and he also knows very well that Japan only obeys the strong, from a certain point of view, the harder Yan Shao beats, the more obedient the Japanese will be, although it sounds a little strange, but this is a fact...
On the other hand, not only in Japan, but also in the Far East, Yan Shao's remarks had a great impact.
But the real key is still domestic...
After the broadcast, Yan Shao quickly got the support he hoped for ββββββ people from all over the country.
In just a week, Yan Shao held a super-large meeting. At the meeting, Yan Shao formally responded to the previous controversy about the term of office.
"The term of office of the president is that there is no term of office, and unless the people of the country no longer need me, I will continue to work in this position until I lead the country to regain what it should have........."
