Chapter 1065 Speech Under the National Flag
Participating in military training is not voluntary. It does not mean that you can participate if you want to, and not participate if you do not want to. This is a hard rule.
Especially for the special place of Chengjun Public School, Yang Fang brought all the people from the Logistics Department of the Military Training Bureau!
Ye Bangwei also cooperated very well, and directly interrupted the school's teaching temporarily, and gathered the students to the playground to listen to Yang Fang's speech. He received the notice a few days ago, and today Yang Fang brought people directly to the door, and Ye Bangwei did not make a fuss.
Of course, there are still many teachers in Chengjun Public School who are dissatisfied with this, and think that this decision affects teaching. But this is a decision made by Chen Ming, how can their little arms and legs resist? No matter how much dissatisfaction there is, they can only hold it in.
On the high platform, Ye Bangwei looked at all the teachers and students below the stage and coughed, "Listen to me, students! Have you read the newspapers these days? The Russians rejected the goodwill of His Majesty the Emperor and insisted on being enemies with our Han people. This is not only a provocation to His Majesty the Emperor, but also a provocation to our 400 million Chinese compatriots.
Three days ago, His Majesty the Emperor ordered the conscription of 300,000 young people of military age to join the army. This is to let the Russians know, let all those who are hostile to our Chinese country know that China is invincible and will never retreat.
If you want to fight, then fight. !
Thousands of soldiers will gather under the command of His Majesty the Emperor and wipe out all the enemies of China.
As students, you are also a member of the Empire and a citizen of China. The soldiers are fighting bloody battles in the front, and we students cannot waste our time and do nothing.
Today, we are honored to invite the hero of the Empire, General Yang Fang from the Military Training Bureau of our National Defense Army, to speak to everyone. Now, everyone welcomes General Yang to speak with warm applause! "
Ye Bangwei is worthy of being a literati. This is a beautiful statement, which makes Yang Fang feel a surge of blood boiling in his body.
The students on the playground were also inspired by Ye Bangwei's words and could not help themselves. Finally, when they heard that Yang Fang was going to speak, the students and teachers applauded desperately to welcome him. Some thoughtful students can really remember Yang Fang's name. He is indeed a hero of the Empire - on the battlefield in America. His deeds have been reported in newspapers before.
Zhang Honglin and Li Yaozong were reminded by the name "Yang Fang", and an impression flashed through their minds, and their expressions became more excited.
Yang Fang took a step forward from behind, and Ye Bangwei took a step back.
Yang Fang cleared his throat and said loudly: "Hello, students! Today, I am here to meet with the students on behalf of the Grand Commandery, with only one purpose, that is, to inform you of the military training.
His Majesty has ordered that from now on, no matter whether it is a university, a middle school or an elementary school, every school will conduct a month of military training every school year in order to improve the physical fitness of the people of my empire and cultivate the martial spirit of my people."
"All of you present are the pillars of the empire, and you are the hope for the future prosperity of the Han Dynasty."
What Yang Fang said was absolutely correct. The status of Chengjun Public School in Chenhan is only higher than that of Eton College in the UK.
"I believe everyone has heard what Principal Ye said just now. Just the day before yesterday, a precise message came from the northwest. The Russians refused to negotiate peace and asked my country to return to the control line during the last war. They said that maintaining the original demarcation line between China and Russia is the prerequisite for the two countries to negotiate peace. It is shameless and wishful thinking."
"It won't be long before the Russians' intentions will be completely crushed by the might of our national defense army! That is a victory for the country, the army, and the people. Our Chinese nation is invincible.
Although victory is gratifying, we must also see how much the soldiers of the national defense army paid to achieve this victory. Sacrifice. From the 38th year of Chengtian to the 40th year of Chengtian, in two years, the National Defense Army fought bloody battles with the Russians, and 50,000 soldiers fell in the ice and snow of the northwest. Although their sacrifices cost the Russians several times more, sacrifice is sacrifice. Although the motherland is proud of them, it cannot save their lives. It is an indisputable fact that tens of thousands of families have lost their sons and husbands.
Yes, compared with the huge population of our country, 50,000 is a very small number, but for the families of officers and soldiers, each one is irreplaceable.
These families have sacrificed for the motherland. The glory and power of the motherland not only covers these 50,000 families, but also covers hundreds and thousands of times more families in the entire empire.
As long as they are the citizens of the empire, every person and every family will be covered by this glory and power. Then, can every family and every person make the same contribution to the country as the 50,000 sacrificed officers and soldiers and their families?
No one dares to say "certainly". Although I believe that there will be millions and tens of millions of citizens of the empire who are willing to sacrifice for the country, this does not mean that It may be all people, all people.
And it is precisely because of these termites that the court has to cultivate your martial spirit from now on, so as to prevent more and more people from being infected and contaminated by those termites.
Don't think that with millions of national defense soldiers who have walked out of the rain of bullets, there will be no armed forces that dare to challenge our great empire, and think that we can lie comfortably at home and sleep peacefully. This idea is wrong.
There will never be fewer enemies in the world.
His Majesty the Emperor once said: You are not gold or silver, and it is impossible for everyone to like you.
The same is true for national affairs. For those countries that are always trying to plunder my wealth, oppress my people, and destroy me, this kind of peace thinking is completely wrong!
The Sino-Russian War proves all this. This is a world where the strong prey on the weak, and this is a cruel jungle. Only when we are always strong and unshakable can the Han Empire always be strong and always stand at the top of the world. "
There are some things that Yang Fang can't say too bluntly. He can't point Chen Han's enemies directly to the West, which will affect the current work of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He can't say that Russia is determined to destroy China, and clamor to fight with the Russians until the end of time, until a certain country disappears completely from this earth, because this will stimulate Western countries.
Yang Fang can only tell everyone not to think that there will be no more wars in China in the future, that's a big mistake!
Because those guys who are spying on my Chinese interests will not be discouraged by the failure of a war, and the flood will never come again. They are still waiting for the opportunity, waiting for the moment when we relax, China will always be the fattest piece of meat in the hearts of Westerners!
China in this time and space has never experienced foreign wars humiliation, but the war is closer to China.
The Western world is seeking unity, Napoleon made a 180-degree turn, and if the Western world is integrated, the Sino-Russian War is just the beginning, and perhaps the North American War in the near future will be a great allegory of the East-West War.
War will surely perish, and forgetting war will lead to danger.
China cannot forget the war.
Otherwise, when the war suddenly falls on China in the early morning of a certain day, who can guarantee that the opium war in the original time and space will not be staged in this time and space? Who can expect the invader's bayonet to stab others and not fall on his own belly? ! Escape? Yes, China is very big, with tens of millions of square kilometers of land, how can there be no place for you to hide? But everyone holds this idea, everyone flees together, when the invaders Traveling all over China, where can you find a place to settle down?
The reason why Chen Ming formulated a radical policy that seemed to be angry was not because he was really worried about whether China would be ridden by Westerners again in the future, but because he saw that the enthusiasm of the people for worshipping soldiers had greatly subsided.
The latter is a very long process. It has been 40 years since the founding of the country.
The Chinese army has also completed a thorough transformation. Although there have been severe pains in the process, China has transformed into a dedicated and obligatory army. But there is no doubt that the attractiveness and status of the National Defense Force have declined a lot compared to the founding of the country. Money is not omnipotent, but without money, it is absolutely impossible.
Without the attraction of money, the status and attractiveness of the National Defense Force are greatly reduced. A big decline. Chen Ming faces this reality, so he wants to once again stir up the whole people and society's enthusiasm for supporting and loving the army, because in the future, Chinese officers and soldiers will have more and more places to use their skills.
China is now a giant dragon entrenched in the east of the world, not the giant rabbit in the 21st century of the original time and space. The giant rabbit's idea is not to gain any benefits from other countries through war, but we cannot allow other countries to take advantage of us. But the dragon wants to rule everything. The founding principles of the two Chinas in different time and space and different eras are completely inconsistent.
Imperialist China is the China of this time and space.
"In order to prevent the motherland from being attacked and threatened by other countries, we must build an army strong enough to destroy any enemy abroad! Russia's regular army has reached 500,000, and their reserve force is close to one million.
The total number of active troops in countries such as France, Prussia, and Austria has exceeded 1.5 million, including 4 million reserve troops. If they want to expand their military strength, they will easily expand to 8 million troops.
And what about us China? Including the 300,000 soldiers just recruited, the total number of our army is only 1.5 million, and the reserve force is only 1 million. Including Japan, Siam, the Seven Khanates, the American countries, and Gurkha and other countries, our total force is less than 3 million. Japan, Siam and other countries have no reserve force.
Such a number of troops is seriously inconsistent with the strength and status of our Han Empire.
If a big war breaks out in the future, even if our soldiers dare to face the death, even if each of them is worthy of the title of a soldier, the huge disadvantage in numbers will put our country in an absolutely unfavorable situation.
Under the current situation, can our million-strong army still guarantee the security of the country's territory? Such a large army is far from being able to maintain the stability and security of a huge land area like our country!
But if after the outbreak of the war, in order to expand the number, blindly send untrained recruits to the battlefield, it will only make more families cry!
Therefore, for the sake of peace in the motherland and to prevent trouble before it happens, Your Majesty has ordered the Grand Military Governor's Office to formulate a plan to provide certain military training to all young people in the country - to strengthen your body and your spirit at the same time."
