Chapter 1911 The President's Speech in the Second War
"They don't even want to talk to us!"

The Foreign Minister sighed.

This is the first time in his life that he feels so useless. There may be no word for useless in his dictionary. He needs to use more language to explain the feeling of this word.

Right now, he's just a jerk.

Penggio had already put on a gesture of begging for mercy, but the Federals didn't even give them any possibility or hope.

There is nothing wrong with having ministers tried as war criminals.

They have a solution for these little things.

But asking the emperor and even members of the royal family to be tried as war criminals is obviously embarrassing.

No, it's not an embarrassment, it's a direct rejection.

You made His Majesty the Emperor agree to be a war criminal and be tried, or even hanged?
Will he agree?
Even if he fights to the death, he will not agree!

Anyway, they are all dead, so why should you feel wronged?

The other members of the negotiating delegation were also very low-key. The Federation made it clear that they did not want to truce, but they were likely to bear the guilt of bad negotiation.

The deputy head of the regiment sat aside, "How about we relax some conditions in other areas and lower this requirement."

"If your majesty and the royal family are not involved, we can hand over some from the nobles."

"In this way, they have a face, and we also get the desired result?"

After listening to this, the Foreign Minister felt that it was also a solution.

Any opportunity that may take the negotiation further, must be firmly seized!
Moreover, negotiation is mainly about negotiation, and there is room for negotiation on everything.

Even if you don't have it, you have to make it!
After negotiations began the next day, Pongio's side raised the notion of "non-royal responsibility".

In the words of the head of the delegation, that is, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Pengio, the war between them and the Federation over Nagalil was purely the private behavior of a small group of generals.

Without communicating with the military department and His Majesty the Emperor, they dispatched troops to start the war.

After the outbreak of the war, taking into account some fait accompli, the military continued to send troops to the Nagalil region to speed up the pace of the war.

Purely from the cause of the matter, the royal family should not bear any responsibility.

Those who really need to take responsibility for this should be the generals who started the war without authorization!
The military also needs to bear a considerable part of the responsibility. They failed to prevent the war in time and condoned the intensification of the war.

Pongio's side is willing to escort these generals and the generals in charge of decision-making in the military to the Federation for trial as the war criminals who caused the war to break out.

Purely in terms of presentation, there is not much problem with Penggio's statement, but the purpose of this negotiation is not really to bring peace.

The Commonwealth did not agree with the explanation given by Pongio and demanded that Emperor Pongio must plead guilty and be tried by the Commonwealth.

It only took five days from the time the two sides sat down to negotiate to the final breakdown of the negotiations.

Emperor Pontgio was extremely angry when he got the final result. Even in the cold weather, it was not suitable for large-scale operations, but the Pontgio Empire still began to plan a large-scale attack!
Less than a week after the armistice, the world where the long-lost peace has just emerged, is once again shrouded in the dark clouds of war!

Federal television, the media, frantically criticized the ugly face of the Pengios.

They said that in order to refuse to admit the crimes they had committed, they refused to confess to more than 30 federal soldiers who had died in battle, and rejected the federal request in the bilateral armistice negotiations.

The actions of the noble Pengio royal family and nobles are undoubtedly the greatest humiliation to the heroic soldiers who have died!
The federal government refuses to go further on the peace talks, and the Pengios must pay for their arrogance!

The refusal of the truce, which was likely to cause social dissatisfaction, broke down because the Pengios were unable to comply with the "reasonable" demands put forward by the Federation.

Not only did the people not have any dissatisfaction with the federal government, but they directly reversed their attitude and demanded that the Pengios be severely punished!

Sometimes politics is complicated, and sometimes it's so simple.

In fact, in the final analysis, it is nothing more than one thing, two manifestations.

Either conform to public opinion or manipulate public opinion!
On the third day that talks broke down, Mr Truman made a nationally televised address.

The place to speak is in the conference room of the Presidential Palace. In order to make this televised speech play the role he needs, he has also paid more attention to the layout of the venue.

In most cases, in the televised speech of the federal president, the background wall should be composed of the federal flag and national emblem, and the background should be dark.

This can reflect the solemn and solemn atmosphere.

But today's context is different.

Like a mosaic, mottled and uncertain, at first glance, it became a piece of blur.

Since the lens did not switch the focal length and was placed close, people may not be able to see exactly what is on the background wall even if they want to see it.

When the time pointed to exactly eight o'clock, Mr. Trueman stepped onto the podium, looking a little older than he had been when he was sworn in as President of the Commonwealth.

Part of the hair has also turned gray.

Different presidents have different styles. There is no shortage of serious presidents in federal history, but there is also no shortage of active and enjoyable presidents.

Mr. Truman is a man of action and a responsible president.

People will also have some subtle mentality due to his appearance changes.

"Thank you so much for taking a moment to watch my talk during this time, everyone's been talking about 'peace and war' lately."

"I know that some people think that the demands we put forward in the peace talks are a bit excessive and that we lack the sincerity of the peace talks."

"This is also the question I want to discuss with you today."

"Should this war end here?"

He stopped talking for a while, and he acted very peacefully without too much subjective emotion, which also made his words have a special persuasive power!
After a few seconds, he turned slightly sideways, and the camera began to zoom out, "You must be wondering why the background is so strange today."

"I invite everyone to come and have a look with me!"

He left the podium and, under the advancement of the camera, walked to the background panel.

It was only then that people noticed that what looked like a mosaic tile on the background was not a real tile.

It's a black one-inch photo!
The lens was pushed closer and closer, and soon the clear portraits were displayed on the TV monitor.

Outside the screen, Mr. Truman's voice came.

"These are the best guys in the federation. When the evil military group headed by Penggio undeclared war attacked us, they stood up at the first time."

"They're no different from me, from you, from the Confederates in front of the TV or more."

"They have parents, relatives, loved ones and even children!"

"But they also have a heavy responsibility to guard the simple, prosaic, but safe lives of those of us."

"They were sacrificed at the gunpoint of the Pengios, they were not aggressors, they were just guardians, they just wanted to keep us all out of harm's way!"

"Because of this small duty, they left us forever!"

"Leaving their parents, their loved ones, their wives and even their children!"

As the camera zooms out, more pictures appear in the shot, including Mr. Truman standing at the edge of the frame next to the background panel.

His emotions were very full, and the angry and aggressive emotions in his voice were progressive, making everyone grit their teeth, as if some images appeared in their minds.

Artillery fire, gunpowder smoke, battlefield...

Mr. Truman took a deep breath and sighed heavily, "I am afraid of death, and I believe most people are as afraid of death as I am."

"So do they!"

"But for a belief in their hearts, they conquered the fear of death!"

"They did it!"

"They have guarded our peaceful life and everything that is prosperous and beautiful in the Commonwealth, but they have lost their most precious lives forever!"

"Those who have lost children, lost husbands, lost fathers, and lost loved ones, bear more pain and sorrow than us ordinary people!"

"We owe them!"

"We owe them a life, and I just want those who took their lives and destroyed the peace of the world to bow their heads to earnestly repent and apologize for the guilt they committed."

"The emperor of the Pontgio Empire, the royal family, their noble ministers, owe them something."

"30 heroic spirits are staring at us!"

"We can't let their sacrifices be meaningless, and we can't let down more soldiers who are fighting on the front lines!"

"Today, we must repay all the pain that has been imposed on us!"

"Justice is never inclusive!"

"The sin of blood they committed must end with their blood and life!"

"If those who created these terrible things are not brought to justice, this war will never end!"

"Until the day we completely destroy them!"

"I swear in the name of the Federal President!"

"No one will sacrifice in vain!"

Mr. Trueman on the TV mobilized the emotions of all the viewers who were watching the TV.

The enemy suddenly came over, killed our people, and then found that we couldn't beat us, and wanted to end it all by saying sorry?
No, never!

At this time, the federal society is still in the period of great revanchism. You talk about tolerance and forgiveness, and there is a foundation.

After all, there are so many religious people out there.

But when you say big revenge, it has the same foundation!

This is not the death of three or fifty people, it is the sacrifice of more than 50!

Behind this can affect potentially millions of families!

No one can make these millions of families give up their hatred and desire for revenge!
No one has the right to ask them to do that!

blood debt.

Blood must be paid!
