“Eleven years ago, our country was involved in a terrible war. The enemies we faced were the top three powers in Europe: the British Empire, Gaul and the Bear!
Facing the joint encirclement of the three countries, we experienced a tragic war. Although under the leadership of famous generals of the Empire such as General Mackensen and Marshal Hindenburg, we severely damaged the enemy and even defeated the Bear, which had dominated Europe for hundreds of years, in one battle!
Even on the Western Front, our attack frightened the British Empire and the Gauls and caused heavy losses!
But two fists cannot beat four hands. Facing the siege of the top five countries in the world, we failed!
And those victors triumphantly divided our colonies, took away nearly 100,000 of our territory, destroyed our army, and charged us with heavy war reparations that could not be paid for decades, trying to turn us into their slaves and enslave us forever. Do you think we can agree to it?”
Because this period of history happened very recently, almost every Hans citizen has personally experienced it. They have all felt this sad and humiliating history!
Therefore, Mainz’s words immediately resonated with them. The 300,000 Hans citizens shouted in unison without hesitation:
“cannot!”
“Tell me louder, can you?”
“cannot!”
“cannot!”
“No!”
The roar of three hundred thousand people, like a nuclear bomb, exploded in the center of the city, the sound waves swept the earth, and the momentum soared into the sky!
The reporters and delegations from various countries present heard the shouts of the Hans people, and their faces changed drastically!
They all felt the anger in the hearts of the Hans people, and felt their determination and will for revenge!
Some representatives of countries that were not involved in World War I couldn’t help but secretly wiped their cold sweat, and were glad that their countries did not participate in World War I and did not oppose Hans. Otherwise, if they were hated by such a Hans, they would not have a good end in the future.
And those countries that participated in World War I and even had been enemies with Hans, after hearing Mainz’s words and feeling the hatred of the Hans people towards them, they all began to worry in their hearts! In fact, they knew very well in their hearts that because of the hatred accumulated in the war, it would not be so easy to get rid of it. Just forget it!
The First World War was not a just war. Both sides did everything they could to win!
After the war, out of fear of Hans’ strength, the Gauls tried their best to suppress or even completely destroy the country of Hans. At that time, Hans was at its weakest and most chaotic.
Therefore, the people of Hans had a very bad impression of the Gauls and even the entire Allied Powers. In the most chaotic years after the war, what the Gauls did to them caused the hatred between the two sides to accumulate to a point that could not be eliminated. Such hatred, except for revenge through war, could no longer be possible!
Therefore, after hearing Mainz’s words, many of the original members of the Allied Powers changed their faces, and began to think one by one, facing such a strong Hans, how should they deal with it.
And Mainz’s speech continued.
“Germany is a great country. This has been destined since the moment it was born. This great country will continue to persist as always. It has experienced underestimation and glory. It is now in a trough and is facing a powerful enemy. This enemy is trying to unite other villains to build a siege against her, trying to completely strangle her and strangle her to death!
However, the gene engraved in our bones since birth is not to admit defeat and fear. We are not afraid of any enemy. Anyone who dares to attack us and become our enemy will be crushed under the iron hoof of Germany, and this great country will definitely return as a king.”
Boom!
The warm applause sounded like a flat ground!
Mainz’s words inspired countless Hans people at the scene. They were awakened by Mainz’s speech and their long-dormant fighting spirit was redefined!
They want to work hard for the rise of Germany!
“The only thing we have to fear is fear itself – an inexplicable, irrational, and groundless fear that makes all efforts to turn retreat into advance come to naught, it will turn a warrior into a coward, a soldier into a decadent, and a country into losing its blood!
Some people will say, Mr. President, our enemies are very powerful, they are the world hegemon, they are the European hegemon, they have many allies, and we only have ourselves, we can only rely on our own strength, can we deal with them?”
Mainz’s eyes swept across the crowd, and many people lowered their heads in shame when they met his gaze.
Obviously, there were many people who held such thoughts.
The defeat in the First World War was a fatal blow to the self-confidence of the Hans nation. This war made the Second Empire a history, and also destroyed the glorious period of the Second Empire that had lasted for fifty years since the Franco-Prussian War. The entire Hans began to decline from prosperity and fell into a trough.
In history, many nations have risen by winning a crucial war.
There are also many countries and nations that have declined from prosperity to decline, completely fallen into a trough or even perished because of a disastrous defeat.
There are too many such histories, and this is Mainz’s biggest worry now, and it is also the biggest crisis facing the Hans:
Can their people still have the courage to move forward like their ancestors and fathers?
“Compared with the dangers that our ancestors overcame with faith and fearlessness, we can still be comforted.
Nature still gives us blessings, and the development of industry and technology, coupled with human efforts, have multiplied them.
The scene of abundance is within reach, but when we see it, the good life quietly leaves.”
This sentence is very difficult to say, and many people with a lower level of education may not hear the hidden meaning of Mainz’s words.
“Some people say that Hans’ new president Mainz is a warmonger, and he is born to be prepared for war!
Fellow countrymen, brothers and sisters, I am not a warmonger. What I do is to do my best to protect this country, the people of this country, and the 80 million unarmed innocent people, just like those soldiers who gave up their comfortable and comfortable lives and resolutely joined the army to serve their country!
When our enemies are sharpening their knives, murderous, and maliciously set up one blockade after another and one circle of encirclement around our borders, what can we do?
Surrender and wait for death?
Can you see the result of your country being targeted by other people’s guns, your land being trampled by other people’s iron hooves, and your parents, wife and children dying tragically under other people’s butcher knives?”
This time, without being reminded by others, the people whose emotions have been fully mobilized once again made a uniform voice!
“cannot!”
“cannot!”
“No!”
The people’s attitude was extremely firm. After the end of World War I, the days when the Allied forces rode on their heads and acted tyrannically left many Hans people with indelible and disastrous memories. This made them instinctively resist this situation and absolutely did not want to experience the destruction of their country and their families again!
Mainz heard the people’s shouts in unison and nodded with satisfaction. He raised his right hand, and the sound in the square suddenly stopped. Three hundred thousand Hans people were as neat as a precision machine, and the switch of this machine was in Mainz’s hand!
“However, rejuvenation is not just a slogan. This country requires action, and the people must also take action, and take action now.
We do not seek to dominate the world, but we absolutely cannot accept the containment and hostility of other countries against our country, and we absolutely cannot accept the direct threat of other countries to our national security!
We must take action, workers must work hard, farmers must work hard to farm, soldiers must train hard, and take on the responsibility of defending the country, merchants must provide better goods for the people and the country, and capitalists cannot only make money for themselves, but must also bear part of the social responsibility!
I am reborn again, we do not seek world hegemony, we only take back what belongs to us!”
This sentence made many representatives of small countries feel relieved. It seems that Hans’ main target is not their small countries, but those big countries that threaten them. Hans has not shown too strong expansion ambitions at present, so they are relieved!
“In this time of national dedication, we humbly ask for God’s blessing. May God keep us all and each of us, and may God guide us in the days ahead.”
