On May 1, 1943, senior officers of the navy, army and air force, as well as representatives of some heroic troops, gathered at Chengtianmen Square in Beiping.

On this day, Jiangdong held a grand expedition ceremony in Chengtianmen Square, and every aspect of the ceremony was broadcast live to the outside world through radio stations.

Before the ceremony officially began, Jiang Dong led senior officers of the three armed forces to the Martyrs' Shrine to pay homage to the brothers who sacrificed their lives for the country since the beginning of the war.

The Martyrs' Shrine and the Military Museum have all been moved to Peking and have become the most important patriotic education bases for primary and secondary schools.

On certain festivals, school students and relatives, friends and comrades of the fallen martyrs will come to the Martyrs' Shrine to pay their respects, and there is endless incense.

There are Martyrs' Shrines all over the country, but the Martyrs' Shrine in Peiping is the largest and the most solemn.

Looking at the endless incense tablets filled inside, Jiang Dong and the officers bowed three times with a heavy heart.

Returning to Chengtianmen Square, Jiang Dong personally delivered an expedition speech.

In addition to officials from the military and administrative systems, there were also a large number of ordinary people from the Peiping area gathered in Chengtianmen Square.

Jiang Dong's speech reached everyone's ears.

After the complete victory of the anti-aggression war, Jiangdong's achievements in domestic economic construction and restoration of people's livelihood are also obvious to all.

People's lives are getting better day by day, and their wishes for a better life will be realized.

Under such a trend of the times, Jiang Dong has always assumed the role of the helmsman.

Although the government led by Jiangdong is actually a military government, the people's support and trust in this government are far greater than other aspects.

At the same time, Jiangdong's expedition speech was also spread throughout the land of China and surrounding countries through many radio stations in the Beiping area.

Looking back on the history of humiliation and looking forward to the future of revival.

Today's China is at the cusp of the times. It has no choice but to rest on its laurels, or even stop moving forward.

Once we relax even a little bit, the enemy will come back and all the good things will be destroyed.

The requirements of national conditions, the requirements of the world situation, and the requirements of the times, China must move forward and move forward.

Expedition is the most effective and necessary means to defend a better life, stabilize the world situation, and create an environment for peaceful development.

"The Chinese people of our generation are miserable, but also lucky!"

"We have experienced the most painful, helpless, and darkest stage in Chinese history. We have witnessed with our own eyes our relatives and friends being ravaged and massacred by the unscrupulous invaders. Countless compatriots who have suffered are buried in the Martyrs' Shrine and the National Memorial Park.

.”

"China was completely shrouded in flames of war. The invaders were domineering in this land. Some people even experienced miserable slavery."

"We have experienced the most desperate moments, and we fully understand the importance of a strong country and national rejuvenation, and we fully understand that a peaceful and stable life is hard-won."

"If you fall behind, you will be beaten, you will be slaughtered, enslaved and bullied by others!"

"I say our generation of Chinese people is miserable!"

Chengtianmen Square, filled with soldiers and civilians, was quiet except for the military flags blowing in the spring breeze.

Countless people were looking in Jiang Dong's direction, their thoughts fluctuating with Jiang Dong's speech.

Cities, schools, and factories across the country also fell silent.

"But at the same time, I would also like to say that our generation of Chinese people are lucky!"

"Why do you say you are lucky?

Because thousands of us unite together to control ourselves, the destiny of our family and our country!"

"We built a new Great Wall with our flesh and blood, from Northeast China to North China, from the Yangtze River to the Pearl River, throwing our lives and blood to resist aggression and fight for every inch of land!"

"Countless outstanding Chinese athletes have fought bloody battles, greeted the enemy's bullets with their enthusiastic chests, and blocked the steel of the invaders with their unyielding will!"

"Compatriots of all ethnic groups, the military and civilians across the country are united as never before. We are united for the same goal - to resist the invaders and safeguard the independence of the country and the nation - we will not retreat or give up!"

"We have sacrificed tens of millions of people in exchange for today's peaceful and stable domestic environment!"

"The sacrifices will never be forgotten. The blood of the heroic sons and daughters blooms the most beautiful flowers all over the country."

"At the same time, we will never forget the most desperate and darkest moments!"

"This generation of Chinese people and Chinese soldiers are lucky!"

"We fought off the invaders with our own hands and created a blue sky with our own hands!"

"Fortunately, we can still build this country with our own hands and watch it become prosperous, strong and great!"

"Although many of us will die in the process, we sincerely believe that with our efforts, future generations will no longer experience the misery and despair that we have experienced!"

"Newborn children will live in a peaceful environment. They can receive free education. They don't have to worry about hunger or being enslaved. They are carefree!"

"When they have their own independent consciousness, they will walk into the Martyrs' Shrine and the national memorial cemeteries in various places, burn a stick of incense and light a cigarette in front of the memorial tablets or tombstones of their fathers' soldiers."

"Perhaps I will also talk about the prosperous China to the silent tombstone, and talk about China full of spring breeze and spring rain."

"I believe they will never forget their fathers who formed the Great Wall of flesh and blood and fought tirelessly!"

"I also believe that the heroic souls from all over China will find rest and comfort from this!"

Many people began to cry silently.

Jiangdong's words are simple but resonant. He uses the contrast between tragedy and misfortune to clearly explain the relationship between personal destiny and the destiny of the country.

"Commanders of the armed forces and compatriots across the country, the prosperous China has not yet arrived, and we have to use our hands to create it!"

"Victory in the anti-aggression war is not the end, the expedition is the beginning of a new great era for us!"

"Only when we have the ability to say no and make the world stable, can we create a life of peace and contentment for future generations, and create development opportunities and conditions for China's bright future!"

"Soldiers go on expeditions to end wars with war!"

"At the same time, I also hope that all walks of life in the country can also start an expedition and use your hands to create better equipment and better logistics supplies for the frontline soldiers."

“Think divergently and innovate continuously!”

"Self-reliance and self-improvement!"

"One generation does the work of three generations. We should have no fear, regard this as a brand new challenge, start a new long-distance battle, and work with the army to create victory and glory!"

"Let misery and humiliation leave forever!"

"With our tenacious struggle and unremitting efforts, let the Chinese nation embark on the road of rejuvenation and strength with luck!"

There are no impassioned words or slogans that make people's blood boil.

But everyone in Chengtianmen Square and in front of the radio understood Jiang Dong's speech and understood the meaning of his words.

There is truth in simplicity.

Ten seconds later, thunderous applause erupted in Chengtianmen Square.

Some people shouted long live the nation and long live the country.

When the mood of the crowd in the square calmed down a little, Jiangdong issued a general order for the expedition to the officers and soldiers of the sea, army and air force.

Amid repeated shouts of kill and loud military songs, Commander-in-Chief Jiang Dong and Chief of General Staff Xie Chengrui awarded expedition flags to each expeditionary force.

Under the enthusiastic or ardent eyes of the people, the officers and soldiers of the three armies held the new expedition flag, sang loud military songs, and walked out of Chengtianmen Square and out of Peiping in neat steps.
