Chapter 146: Eliminate Warlords and Open Up the Future
"I know everyone's been in a bad mood recently, and the issues concerning Qin Island are also something you're all concerned about."
On the quiet street, Zhang Ye spoke in a calm tone, scanning the young and determined faces in front of him, and made a serious promise.
"Today! Here, I assure everyone that there will not be, and will not be allowed to be, traitors in the three provinces of Donglu. Furthermore, we will not abandon the legacy left by our ancestors or cede an inch of Great Xia territory!"
"it is good!!"
With this shout, the entire scene seemed to be ignited, and thunderous and earth-shaking applause broke out in an instant.
Countless students gathered together, like a surging ocean, and the whistling sound they made was like a huge wave, sweeping over the sky and the earth, making people's scalps numb and impacting the deepest part of everyone's heart.
Judging from the current situation and Zhang Ye's usual style of doing things, there is no doubt that he has a very high credibility in the minds of these students.
These children were willing to believe every word and sentence he uttered.
Not only that, they also firmly believed in the promises and vows that Zhang Ye had made, and believed that the Independence Army would be able to fulfill them one by one.
This unreserved trust does not come from Zhang Ye's strong strength, but is entirely due to his own unique personal charm and his down-to-earth and word-for-word work style in the past.
It is because of this that he successfully won the heartfelt recognition and respect of these children.
"Marshal, we trust you on Qin Island, but what about these foreigners today? They are also using illegal means to seize our Daxia territory!"
"Marshal, drive them out! Drive all these foreign devils out of Daxia!"
"Defeat the foreign forces and return our Great Xia territory to us!"
After receiving a perfect answer to the Qindao issue, these kids turned their attention to the International Settlement, hoping that Zhang Ye could step in and clear these foreigners out.
After all, in the current Daxia, the only one capable of completing this difficult task is Zhang Ye!
"Classmates, I agree with you on this matter. I don't want to see these foreigners showing off their power and enjoying their privileges on Daxia soil!"
Zhang Ye understood the feelings of these children, but he really had no way to solve the problem quickly.
Not to mention the distant past, just taking the International Settlement as an example, they were backed by the two major military powers of the United States and Britain.
Whether Zhang Ye is willing to admit it or not, the facts are before him. The current independence army has no ability to declare war on them.
Moreover, if they acted rashly and drove out these foreigners without authorization, they would most likely be attacked jointly by the Feng faction and the Fujian warlords.
This result still puts a lot of pressure on the current independence army.
"But some things cannot be solved by one or two people, or by you and me standing together."
Zhang Ye didn't care about anything else and chose the most straightforward way to tell these things to the children.
"Foreigners have been rampant in Daxia for decades. This International Settlement alone has undergone no fewer than ten expansions!"
"It's not difficult to get rid of them, but the difficult part is how to deal with the forces behind them and their minions!"
"Currently, Daxia has been divided into dozens of spheres of influence, large and small, by various warlords. Internal strife continues daily, and everyone is obsessed with expanding their own territory, studying how to annex neighboring factions, and how to seek external support to provide themselves with more powerful artillery and weaponry resources!"
On the quiet street, Zhang Ye's cold voice was like sharp thorns, piercing the children's soft hearts.
This is a fact, and it is also the tragic reality they will face in the future.
He said that this was not to shirk responsibility or encourage students to criticize other forces, but to tell them sincerely that before fighting against foreign enemies, they must first stabilize the country!
If we don’t deal with these running dogs and traitors in the country and complete the unification, the foreigners will never be able to withdraw from Daxia!
"So, foreigners are not the first problem we need to solve. Right now, we still need everyone to unite as one, study hard, and use our own abilities to change the noisy and chaotic situation in the country!"
"Only by eliminating those power-hungry advocates who only know how to fight for power can we truly destroy the breeding ground for the development of foreigners!"
"The future of Daxia needs you to explore, and the future of Daxia needs you to protect!"
Zhang Ye raised his right fist above his head, looking at every student present with a solemn expression, and shouted.
"Students, don't give up your most important studies because of temporary turmoil. Times are changing, and there are still many problems in the future that you will need to lead."
"It's a good thing that the demonstrations speak out for the country, but you still have to prioritize and not put the cart before the horse and ruin your studies!"
The passionate speech came to an end, but the burning flames in the students' eyes did not go out. On the contrary, they burned even more fiercely.
Zhang Ye's passionate and powerful words seem to still echo in the air, deeply imprinted in everyone's heart.
These young students were not ignorant. They were able to clearly understand what Zhang Ye meant, and from this meaningful conversation, they deeply realized his inner pain and the many difficulties he faced.
"Every citizen has his share of responsibility for the rise and fall of a nation." This ancient saying flashed through their minds like a bolt of lightning, making them realize that they shouldered important responsibilities and missions.
In this turbulent era, as one of the few educated people, they possess sharper insights and thinking abilities than ordinary people.
I also know that if we want to achieve national prosperity, we must keep a clear head, distinguish right from wrong, and distinguish the primary and secondary importance of things.
That’s right, as the old saying goes, “To resist foreign aggression, we must first stabilize the country.”
If we fail to first eradicate those warlords who are profit-driven, ambitious and only want to ascend the throne, then the foreigners will be like a thorn in the flesh, always entrenched in the vast land of Daxia, trampling and plundering at will.
Only when the domestic situation is stable and the regime is unified can we unite the strength of the people across the country to jointly resist foreign invasion and defend the country's dignity and territorial integrity.
"That's all I have to say today. I hope you can understand and give us more time."
Zhang Ye's voice was heavy with a hint of sadness as he made an oath in front of thousands of students.
"In the future, whether it's ten, twenty, or thirty years, the thousands of years of civilization of Great Xia will not be destroyed, and the hundreds of millions of people of Great Xia will not be reduced to the slavery of foreign races, and will never be able to hold their heads up!"
"Today, I, Zhang Ye, swear here that I will fight for the rise of Daxia throughout my life. I am willing to shed my last drop of blood to rekindle the torch of Daxia's inheritance!"
