Chapter 512: Coronation Speech
Chapter 512: Coronation Speech
As Shota walked into the towering stone gate, the others followed one after another, fearing that if they were a step late, there would be no place for them to stand.
As the crowd continued to pour in, the entire building complex was covered by a sea of people, and the periphery was also crowded with people who wanted to hear the sounds inside clearly. The center they supported, Shota, was standing there upright.
As the solemn and sacred music sounded, a group of arranged singers sang the national anthem of the People's Republic of Hoenn:
Davari marching under the sun
Defeat countless Abagnon
Davari's Advance
That heroic figure captured us
Thunder blooming in the darkness
Break the darkness of the sky
The prelude to our victory
Davari vows to advance
Davari's Advance
Pursuing a sky without battle
Let's go together at dawn and dusk
We seek peace and liberation wherever we go
Seeking a sky without battle...
To the sound of music, Daigo and Mikoli were successively given the positions of prime minister and deputy prime minister by Shota at the highest point of the stone platform, and the audience applauded warmly.
When the applause gradually died down, Shota, who was standing on the stage, looked down upon the crowd below. Although his military uniform was light grey, he exuded the aura of a leader.
The people in the audience looked at Shota standing on the podium. Most of them had fanaticism in their eyes, but they did not scream. They were waiting, waiting for the leader on the podium, whom they regarded as a god, to speak.
Glancing downward, Shota listened to the increasingly quiet sounds around him until he could hear a pin drop. He supported his waist with one hand and gestured in the air with the other, then slowly spoke:
“I want to say something very heavy here.
The regime of the Hoenn People's Republic was surrounded by enemies, and the counter-revolutionary riots spread like flames from one end to the other.
These riots were financed and supported by the aristocracy of the whole world and were organized by the ancient feudal aristocracy and the aristocracy of this era.
Here is a proof. I think you all already know that I was assassinated in Butou Town during the liberation of the Hoenn region.
This despicable act of assassination is the characteristic of the aristocracy, as well as the rise of the so-called knights and the rebellion of the alliance's lackeys. All these wars attacking us, like the north, the south, the east and the west, all wars are unified wars. They want to attack our Hoenn People's Republic, they want us to perish!
We are bleeding, our painful wounds are bleeding!
We are in the most difficult circumstances, we are starving, and most of our sources of seeds and fertilizers have been cut off.
Comrades, it is more difficult to maintain political power than to seize it.
Our revolution is advancing, developing and growing, but our struggle is also developing and growing!
Before I came here, I received a note. Let me read it to you all:
"Your regime cannot be maintained anyway, and your skins will be peeled off and used to make drumheads."
As Shota finished reading this paragraph, the crowds of people below started shouting. At the moment when it was most likely to arouse people's opposition, Shota pressed his hand down, signaling the crowd to be quiet, and then spoke into the microphone:
"Quiet, quiet comrades.
I can see that these words were not written by workers or peasants. I'm afraid that the person who wrote this note may not have the courage to come out and stand here. Yes, comrades, I guess he doesn't dare to come out and try.
Comrades, while the revolution is still going on, that is, while an entire class is perishing, the death of one person is completely different from his death.
After a person dies, his body can be carried out, but when the old society perished, it was a pity that the corpse of the aristocracy! It was impossible to nail it into a coffin and bury it in a grave all at once! The corpse of the aristocracy was rotting in our hearts, it was spreading poison to everyone, it was emitting a stench!
The example of my assassination illustrates the white terror that the counter-revolutionaries inflicted on us.
Be quiet, comrades. Be quiet, comrades.
Traitors judged by the will of the people must be ruthlessly eliminated.
Let's let the aristocracy go crazy!
Let those worthless souls cry!
Comrades, workers and peasants, this is our answer.
Add triple vigilance and caution, and patience.
Everyone should stick to their own posts.
Comrades, you must remember:
We have only one way out, that is victory, and there is another way, that is death, but death does not belong to us! "
As Shota's last words came out, the entire venue erupted in thunderous applause and cheers.
The whole sound was like a downpour, causing Daigo and Mikoli, who were standing next to Shota, to have their pupils shaken violently.
Their hands couldn't help but clap, and their trembling lips slowly turned into shouts.
When the cheers and applause died down again, Shota spoke again amid the crowd's enthusiasm.
"Speaking again of the question of invasion, I do not think that any organization in all these long centuries has been able to make such promises to our people as we are to the Flash, that we are absolutely secure.
But I have complete confidence in myself. If everyone does their job, does not overlook a mistake, makes the best arrangements, and they actually implement them, then we will once again prove that we can defend our hometown!
Let it weather the storm of war and survive the terror of tyranny, even if it takes years, even if we do it alone!
So no matter what, that's what we're going to strive for.
This is the determination of the People's Republic of Hoenn, the determination of each of us, and the will of Parliament and the country!
The People's Republic of Hoenn and the People's Republic of Sinnoh will work together for common goals and needs, and will defend their lands to the death!
Try your best to help each other like brothers and sisters!
Even if large tracts of the world's land and a large number of people have fallen or may fall into the clutches of the feudal aristocracy and the modern aristocracy, we will not waver or be discouraged. We will persist to the end!"
