Cross the Songhu battlefield and rise to become the most powerful warlord

70 Ye Qingshan's Speech

“Ma’am, you are right.

Today's Japan is indeed a powerful country. It is no longer the time when they sent Tang envoys to learn from us.

But our nation has entered its darkest hour.

Indeed, wars are fought with the strength of nations.

At this time, we are inferior to Japan in military, economy, technology and other aspects.

But you also underestimated a great nation with a long history of 5,000 years.

When they complete their awakening, no one can stop his revival.

I even felt lucky that the Japanese attacked us.

If the Japanese had not come to attack, many people in the country might still be in a muddle-headed state, fighting among themselves for many years before they could wake up.

However, the Japanese attack was like a blow to the sleeping dragon, which would completely wake it up.

War, after all, is a war between people.

With advanced weapons and equipment, we may be able to take the lead for a while.

But it will never defeat the will of the Chinese people.

None of my 400 million compatriots want to be slaves of a conquered nation.

Even if we are not as advanced in technology, we can learn and catch up.

If weapons are not possible, we can make them and imitate them.

As long as people exist and as long as they refuse to admit defeat, I firmly believe that nothing in this world can be difficult for this great and ancient nation.

Countless foreign invasions throughout history have proven this point."

"Okay, good point!"

After Ye Qingshan finished speaking, many domestic celebrities and reporters present cheered.

But other foreign journalists and ministers did not feel anything about it.

Ye Qingshan understood that they couldn't understand.

But it doesn’t matter. What Ye Qingshan wanted to say today was not meant for these foreigners.

Instead, Ye Qingshan wanted to use the channels of these journalists and newspapers to tell the people and soldiers across the country.

"Tsk, more people means victory?

A bunch of pigs and dogs can never win.

You have occupied this fertile land for too long, it is time to give it up."

A Japanese reporter below shouted loudly.

Ye Qingshan looked at him coldly. If looks could kill, this guy would have died countless times by now.

"Lieutenant Colonel Ye, what you said is too vague.

Since you have determined that you can win this war.

As an excellent commander, can you give some specific strategies?"

The blonde female reporter continued to ask.

"can."

"Before the war broke out, didn't the Japanese clamor to destroy us in three months?

How is it now? Two months have passed, and they are still fighting hard in Shanghai.

One of their Japanese generals has been captured alive by me personally.

Facts have proved that the Japs are good at talking, but their war level is just so-so.

They just bully us by relying on their better weapons and equipment.

But what we flower growers are best at is learning war in war.

I admit that the Japanese are now very powerful, and many people in the country are already kneeling down to them.

I feel that the Japanese are invincible and am ready to be their guide.

I can only say that people who have this kind of thinking are short-sighted, they only see the present but not the long term. "

After Ye Qingshan finished speaking, many people in the venue were whispering.

Many of these celebrities and politicians think so.

Ye Qingshan's words directly expressed their inner thoughts, which caused such a big commotion.

"Perhaps, in the end, we will be defeated in the Battle of Songhu.

We may even soon face the situation where a large area of ​​our territory is lost.”

As soon as Ye Qingshan finished speaking, the crowd in the venue became noisy again.

To be honest, Ye Qingshan’s words were too shocking.

He actually said that the National Army would lose the Battle of Shanghai, and even a large area of ​​territory would be lost later.

Such words are absolutely scary at this moment.

Even Special Envoy Chen behind him frowned.

Special Envoy Chen knew that Ye Qingshan was right.

In fact, the top leaders of the National Army were already discussing the retreat, and Special Envoy Chen was aware of this.

But, this kind of thing shouldn't be said at this time.

Special Envoy Chen was very satisfied with Ye Qingshan’s performance earlier.

Ye Qingshan’s previous remarks could boost the people’s confidence in fighting against the Japanese invaders, and even serve as a warning to the traitors who wanted to surrender.

But Ye Qingshan's words now were so discouraging that Special Envoy Chen was somewhat surprised.

But Special Envoy Chen also knew that he had no way to stop Ye Qingshan at this time and could only let him play freely.

But Special Envoy Chen believes in Ye Qingshan's loyalty, and he must have other ideas for doing this.

Then keep reading.

"Why, are you surprised?"

Ye Qingshan chuckled on the stage.

"Don't you all know that the Japanese are strong and our national strength is weak.

When a powerful enemy invades, it is normal to have some advantages in the early stages.

When Napoleon invaded Russia, wasn't he almost reaching the Russian capital?

But what was the final result? It was still a miserable defeat!

There is nothing to be proud of about a temporary victory. The one who laughs last is the ultimate winner.

Our tactics against the Japanese are actually very simple.

I summed it up in one sentence: trade space for time, and accumulate small victories into big ones.

If you can’t win quickly, then win slowly. If you can’t win big, then win small.

If we can't fight a war of annihilation, then we'll fight a war of attrition.

Our country has a population of 400 million and an area of ​​more than 10 million square kilometers.

I just don’t believe that we can’t kill those Japanese devils.

Like a snake trying to swallow an elephant, the final outcome will be that it will be stuffed to death."

After Ye Qingshan finished speaking, the crowd in the venue became chaotic again.

In response to Ye Qingshan's words, some people agreed, while others disagreed.

Ye Qingshan paused for a moment and continued, "Let me tell you my prediction for this war.

Let’s extend the timeline.

In a few years, all of you will look back and see if my prediction was correct."

Still wanting to show off, Ye Qingshan doesn't mind pretending to be bigger.

People became quiet again.

Ye Qingshan’s previous brilliant achievements on the battlefield also made people pay attention to how he viewed this war.

At this time, not only the politicians, celebrities and reporters in the venue, but even the ministers from various countries in the box wanted to hear what Ye Qingshan had to say.

This includes the Japanese ambassador.

That’s right, in a private room, the Japanese ambassador was also here.

Logically speaking, the Japanese envoy should not be able to come this time.

However, in order to appease the Japanese, the top leaders of the International Settlement decided to let them in.

But Chen Te couldn't let them know.

These European and American powers are actually now quite afraid that the Japanese will do something stupid and infringe on their interests in East Asia.

At this time, the Japanese envoy Xiao He Songhang had a gloomy look on his face.

Through the window, I can see Ye Qingshan on the stage,

Ye Qingshan's words just now made Xiao He Songhang's heart beat fast.

Because the facts that Ye Qingshan mentioned had also been raised by some high-ranking Japanese officials.

In fact, not everyone among the Japanese high-ranking officials supported launching a full-scale invasion war against the Flower-Growing Country at this time.

Some rational Japanese high-ranking officials felt that they still needed time.

For example, first completely digest the Northeast, North Korea and other places, and then launch a full-scale invasion.

These are the conservatives on the Japanese side.

In fact, a large part of the reason why the Japanese launched the invasion at this time was that their top brass were being coerced by a group of fanatical warmongers in the military.

Using the weak to defeat the strong is an old tradition of the Japanese devils.

In the end, the Japanese were able to defeat the Germans in Europe before they even started to take action during this period of time.

They took action first.

In Ye Qingshan's opinion, the Japanese conservatives' strategy of taking things step by step is actually the most terrifying.
