Little Warlord 548, Little Warlord Text Chapter 548 Congress Speech (Part 1)
August 9, 1920, the 9th year of the Republic of China.
Capitol Hill.
This is also known as the United States Capitol Building.
A large number of guards stood with serious expressions, watching every move around them nervously. A large number of reporters swarmed there, anxiously waiting for something.
Some MPs started to show up.
They were never willing to give up this opportunity to show themselves. Some of them shook their hands, greeted God knows who, showing their "affinity", and some accepted interviews from reporters they knew well.
A congressman named Vincent was stopped by an old journalist friend and happily accepted an interview.
"What do you think of the Chinese President's speech in Congress?"
"I am looking forward."
“What do you think the president of China will say?”
"Who knows? Maybe the weather in Washington?"
"You just met with a private delegation from Japan. Given the current tensions between China and Japan, does that mean you will raise issues about China-Japan relations during your speech?"
Vincent replied professionally: "If you can give me this opportunity, I think I will try to ask questions."
A motorcade flying the flags of China and the United States drove over and immediately attracted the attention of all reporters. The reporter who was interviewing Vincent immediately dropped Vincent and flashed the spotlight of the motorcade wildly.
Vincent seemed very dissatisfied. Since the Chinese President arrived in the United States, all the media have been attracted to him, and his exposure rate has suddenly decreased a lot.
The motorcade slowly stopped.
The car door was opened, and Wang Hengyue, the President of the Republic of China, slowly got out of the car.
The reporters went crazy, the cameras went crazy, and the whole place was surrounded by flashes of spotlights.
"Mr. President, may I ask..."
"Excuse me, Mr. President..."
Questions were thrown at Wang Hengyue desperately one by one. Wang Hengyue waved to them with a smile and did not answer any questions.
When we entered the chamber of the Capitol Building, most of the congressmen had already arrived.
There was no applause. Speaker Prell A. Carter greeted Wang Hengyue and led him to the podium.
Wang Hengyue was introduced, and there was sparse applause. The response was not as enthusiastic as expected.
All this was expected by Wang Hengyue. He always had a smile on his face and said in proficient English: "Without applause, there is no speech. It's like forgetting to put the knife and fork when eating steak. You will ask the waiter
Protest. Then, please allow me to protest to you here!"
A burst of laughter rang out among the congressmen, and the applause started again, this time much louder.
"Well, the knives and forks are here now. My protest is over for now."
Laughter rang out again with Wang Hengyue's words. Well, they say Orientals are stereotyped, but now it seems that Mr. President is not stereotyped at all. On the contrary, he is quite humorous.
Wang Hengyue's voice spread in the meeting hall:
"I am very much looking forward to this visit to the United States. Of course, some people are not particularly looking forward to it. They are also full of hostility, but this does not affect anything. A person cannot always have only friends and no enemies in his life. A
The same goes for countries...
My country has some enemies, but of course there are more friends. For example, the United States. This is my first trip abroad, and it is also the first Chinese head of state to visit a foreign country in thousands of years, and I chose this first stop.
America, because I respect this country, I am also willing to choose you to be China's friend, but this is based on mutual respect..."
Wang Hengyue's words began to attract these gentlemen MPs. Some MPs who were sitting casually also straightened up.
Wang Hengyue’s words continued to ring in their ears:
"There is a big country in the West, the United States of America, with a short history; there is a big country in the East, China, with a long history. But history does not hinder the exchanges between the two countries. In many aspects, we share the same goals and beliefs.
What we need on many matters is close cooperation...
In fact, before this, that is, before my country was reunified, I had maintained full friendship with the United States. I thank the U.S. government for its support and friendship. I do not want such a friendship.
With the intervention of some countries, the situation has deteriorated. If this is the case, it will definitely be a very regrettable thing. Members and gentlemen, you can imagine that one day, you lose a rising giant ally in the Far East.
, what kind of scene would it be?”
"Two giants standing side by side is the best..." Prell A. Carter muttered (the first high-quality text, all in %).
Wang Hengyue heard it very clearly, and he smiled slightly:
"Yes, Mr. Speaker just said that it is best for two giants to stand side by side. Why don't we make such a choice? Politically, we have a common enemy, at least now in Russia and the Chinese army.
The American military is fighting together on Russian soil. Our soldiers are bleeding, and the United States has given us tremendous support. Our common goal is to restore justice, fairness, and freedom in Russia... This is everything to us
No enemy can destroy what you pursue..."
The congressmen's attention was completely focused as they listened to Wang Hengyue continue:
"Not only in Russia, I believe that we can cooperate more closely in many fields in the future. The new world order is taking shape, and whoever ignores it or despises it will be distanced by the wheel of history...
.
Economically, we have more cooperation with each other. Americans have invested heavily in China, and China is about to invest heavily in the United States to promote economic development between the two countries, which can bring us many benefits. Don't
Confrontation, let alone hostility, and getting what everyone deserves is the most important thing. If an investment can bring a win-win situation to both parties, hell, only a fool will not do it..."
Another burst of gentle laughter came.
Well, even Senator Vincent had to admit that what the Chinese President said was true and there was no hypocrisy at all. He found that his attitude towards the Chinese President had changed somewhat.
In the face of interests, any kind of conflict can be resolved.
"Some people say that if China becomes stronger, it will be a huge threat to the interests of the United States in the Far East. But in my opinion, such words are simply the most ridiculous remarks, and the people who say this can be swept into history.
In the garbage heap." Wang Hengyue said with a little contempt:
"What can a stronger China bring to the United States? It can better maintain peace and order in the Far East. Does anyone think that the war-torn Far East can ensure its own interests? Then this person must be crazy. All investments will
It was reduced to ashes in the flames of war, with not even a trace of skin left. A weak China is not in the interests of the United States...
What I want to draw your attention to is that when the war broke out in Europe and the United States joined the war without hesitation, who was harming the interests of the United States in the Far East? Is it China? Or other countries with ulterior motives? While Europe and the United States are in urgent need of help,
, is it China, or another country? A simple answer..."
This caused some low-level discussion among lawmakers.
When the European War broke out, European countries were busy with the war, and the United States was busy assisting European countries. However, that annoying Japan continued to encroach on the interests of the United States and Europe in China and the Far East.
If you think about it carefully, what did the Chinese president do when reunification had not yet been completed? While he was trying his best to resist Japan's encroachment on China, he continued to sell urgently needed materials in Europe to Britain and France.
Obviously, he also received a lot of rewards from this, but making money is not something Americans hate.
What I really hate is Japan!
God, they're not doing anything and they're poaching America and Europe...
Wang Hengyue knew that his words resonated with the parliamentarians: "There are huge differences in concepts between the two of us, but this does not affect anything. This is just a collision of Eastern and Western cultures. The differences in concepts can be put aside,
Cooperation is our theme. Building a new Far East order is what we should be most concerned about. Any country, the United States, the United Kingdom, France, and of course China, when we give up those prejudices, a new world order will be around us.
It’s not far away. I firmly believe that I can do it, and I also firmly believe that the United States can do it.
My visit this time will cause serious displeasure in some countries. They are afraid to see a big Eastern country united with another big country. They are trying every means to destroy it, but who will take care of this? There is one thing ahead.
Why don't we take a broader road? Why do we have to choose a small road with bumps and bumps, and God knows we will stumble upon it? Is it in the interests of our country to do this?
I would like to draw your clear attention to this point. When we work together, we are strong; when we confront each other, we will only consume each other's strength. There is an old saying in China, 'When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman will benefit.'
That’s what it means. We are friends, not enemies. Conflicts can be eliminated and differences in ideas can be eliminated. If someone deliberately wants to destroy our cooperation, then they are the real enemies between China and the United States!
And this is the real purpose of my visit to the United States, we are looking for a friend who can cooperate and can keep in close contact in everything!"
Wang Hengyue finished his speech. He smiled slightly and looked at all the MPs with confidence.
The chamber was very quiet, and then bursts of applause rang out from the hands of most members! (To be continued)
