"Extra! Extra!...Big news! The Ming Empire has declared war on the Brazilian Empire!...Extra! Extra!...Big news! The Imperial Aerial Forces launched an air attack on the Brazilian fleet in Montevideo!..."
That afternoon, in the streets and alleys of various cities in the Ming Dynasty, countless newspaper sellers shouted the same voice. People poured out from all places, snatching up the newspapers in the hands of the newspaper sellers, and rushing to grab the newly printed newspapers.
Made newspapers.
War breaks out!
The Ming Empire declared war on Brazil!
The reason for declaring war was--"In view of the Brazilian Empire's ambition to covet the Ming Dynasty, and to ensure the safety of the 20 million citizens of the Ming Empire..."
Yes, the Ming Dynasty declared war on Brazil entirely because Brazil sent a fleet to attack the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty was completely counterattacking in self-defense.
This is just self-defense and counterattack!
"Did you see that? I knew we had to declare war! The dignity of the empire cannot be offended. Since the Brazilians are occupying our land and killing our people, and we don't even dare to fart, then where is the face of the empire?"
In the classroom of Linhai No. 6 Middle School, Wang Jingchu raised the newspaper in his hand and said excitedly to the students in the classroom.
"That's right, I've said it a long time ago. Paraguay must be taken back. Even Uruguay should be merged into the Ming Dynasty. Otherwise, where is the security of the capital!"
"Okay now, war is finally declared!"
"Join the army, classmates! Go to the battlefield and fight those damn slave owners! How dare you attack us? We must let the Brazilians have a taste of our power!"
When Liang Dong shouted from the side, he even adjusted his glasses.
"I'm talking about four eyes. Are you going to go to the battlefield with four eyes? Your glasses fell off and you ran into other people's positions regardless of the enemy or us. Haha, it would be really embarrassing for you to be a prisoner.
ah."
Liang Dong, who was originally looking very excited, was poured cold water on his head, and his passionate expression immediately turned red. He immediately rushed to the premise and said:
"Who says you can't join the army if you are short-sighted? I, can't I just tie my glasses with a rubber cord? As for the prisoner of war camp, you can enjoy it by yourself!"
"Haha, rather than enjoying it in a prisoner of war camp, it would be better to die directly with the enemy when the time comes, and then meet at the Martyrs' Shrine!"
"See you at the Martyrs' Shrine?"
Zheng Haisheng immediately said with a sinister smile:
"I said, students, what's there to argue about? Isn't it just a declaration of war with Brazil? It's definitely not our turn to go to the battlefield! It's just a small Brazil. I guess this war will start before we start school during the holidays.
It’s over.”
His words immediately aroused a burst of approval. It seemed that in everyone's eyes, fighting Brazil was not worth mentioning at all.
"That is, with the imperial army and navy here, the Brazilian army is not worth mentioning at all!"
"War is never simple."
Listening to the classmates' views on the war, Xu Guodong felt uncomfortable all over and said coldly:
"No matter how weak the enemy is, you have to go all out to win. If you don't treat it carefully, someone will definitely die in the end!"
"Dead people, when will people not die in wars? Die for the country, die well, sacrifice yourself to be a benevolent person, and see you again at the Martyrs' Shrine. This is the honor of the military!"
Wang Jingchu said a little excitedly.
"As citizens of the empire, during this war, we should serve our country by joining the army!" His words immediately aroused a burst of echoes from around him. The students in the middle school were all young and vigorous. As people who grew up in the Ming Dynasty,
The new generation of young people have never been afraid of sacrifice. Even years of military training have long made them full of desire for war.
Just like now, although it is a holiday, the reason why they gather at school is because of the military training during the holiday. All men in the Ming Dynasty must undergo military training. This has been a habit for many years. Even middle school students need to receive primary military command training.
"By the way, Xu Guodong, isn't your dad in the army? When will their troops set out?"
Xu Guodong's father is an army officer, and his family lives in the military base village. When his classmates mentioned his father, his mind sank, and then he said.
"When I came to school in the morning, he was still at home. This may be a bit sudden."
“Down with the Brazilian slave owners!…Long live the empire!…”
Just at this moment, bursts of slogans came in from outside. It sounded like they were coming from the direction outside the school.
"Hey, do you think we should go over and have a look?"
Hearing the noise outside, Wang Jingchu couldn't sit still. He likes to join in the fun.
Soon, Wang Jingchu and his classmates arrived outside the school. The streets outside the school had become a sea of joy. Tens of thousands of young people held high the sun and moon flags. They shouted and chanted slogans on the streets. Every day
Everyone looked very excited.
These young people gathered spontaneously on the streets. In this way, they expressed their loyalty to the empire and of course their support for the war.
The scene in front of them made many people dumbfounded, especially those who had just arrived in the Ming Dynasty. It was difficult for them to understand why the people of the Ming Dynasty were so enthusiastic when facing the war.
Not in the face of war, but in loyalty to the country!
boiling!
On this day, all parts of the Ming Dynasty turned into a sea of boiling. Not only young people, but also many middle-aged people, they also took to the streets and followed the people, roaring and roaring loudly.
"war!"
Facing threats from foreign countries, the people of Ming Dynasty made a very direct choice. They chose to take up arms to defend Ming Dynasty and defend their homeland. In the past ten years, Ming Dynasty has been doing everything possible to use public opinion and education to
Instill a concept into the Chinese people - the concept of patriotism and nationalism.
All this is unfamiliar to them. After all, before this, most Chinese people only had family and clan in their hearts, and at most they had a regional concept.
Apart from this, they have no other concepts. It is precisely because of this that in another world, they are called a piece of loose sand.
In the past ten years, the Ming Dynasty has taught them through education what a country is, what a family is, what a nation is, and what a compatriot is. It is through this kind of spiritual indoctrination that the people of the Ming Dynasty are no longer a bunch of people who only know how to pay taxes and food.
"Loose sand".
Instead, they constantly awaken their inner group and ethnic consciousness through various means.
The power of the common people!
It is the most powerful force in the world, but it has not been taken seriously by people in China in this era. Of course, it has not been awakened. Even Emperor Zhu Da himself does not know whether education can awaken this force!
And now?
When the Ming Empire declared war on foreign countries for the first time, their people showed unprecedented enthusiasm when facing foreign enemies. Their enthusiasm came from the heart. Their enthusiasm also came from the heart.
This enthusiasm stems from the identification with the Chinese nation, from the inner view of the nation and compatriots, and from the loyalty to the Ming Empire.
On this day, all cities in the Ming Dynasty were in a turbulent sea - this turbulent wave was the cry of the people, made up of tens of thousands of ordinary people, they were pushing forward like a wave, and this wave was moving forward
Push forward, toward the future...
