As the celebration of the triumphal return slowly came to an end, the people gathered outside the city began to disperse in an orderly manner. Their faces were filled with pride and pride, as if every wrinkle and every smile was engraved with love for the country and longing for the future.
The afterglow of the setting sun shines on them, stretching their shadows long, as if they were also cheering for this great moment.
At the State Banquet Center, Su Zhengyang personally hosted a banquet for the expeditionary army's generals. The hall was brightly lit and magnificent, as if the entire starry sky was contained here. The table was filled with all kinds of delicacies and fine wines, the aroma was overflowing, and it was mouth-watering.
The generals were dressed in neat military uniforms, with shining medals on their chests. They sat together, talking about their heroic deeds on the battlefield and sharing their beautiful expectations for the future. Su Zhengyang toasted them one by one, expressing his highest respect and gratitude to them.
At the same time, the soldiers of the expeditionary force were also commended and rewarded in another place.
They lined up neatly, waiting for the moment to be awarded. When each Iron and Blood Medal was hung on their chest, their faces showed indescribable joy and pride. These medals are not only a recognition of their heroic performance, but also an affirmation of their contributions to the country.
The soldiers hugged and high-fived each other to celebrate this unforgettable moment together.
Mainstream media such as Huashang Daily and Dahua Daily did not miss this important moment. They sent their most capable team of reporters to record this exciting scene with their cameras and texts.
Flashes of light flashed one after another, and shutter sounds were heard continuously, as if to freeze this moment forever. The next day, the front pages of major newspapers published reports about the expeditionary force's triumphant return. The articles used vivid language and touching stories to show readers the bravery and great achievements of this army.
In the private sector, the people also celebrated this important moment in their own way. They sang and danced, hung lanterns and decorations, and decorated the entire city as if it were the New Year. The streets were full of colorful flags and banners with various blessings and slogans written on them.
Children were running around in the crowd, their laughter and cheers adding more joy and festivity to the moment. Every household lit up firecrackers and fireworks, lighting up the night sky like day. These brilliant fireworks were not only a tribute to the expeditionary force, but also a blessing to the entire country and nation.
The whole of China was immersed in this joy and pride. People knew how lucky they were to be born in this era full of hope. They believed that under Su Zhengyang's leadership, the future would be better and more prosperous.
The next morning, the sun shone through the windows of the Chinese Government Building, filling the solemn conference room. Su Zhengyang was already sitting in the main seat, wearing a neat presidential suit, with golden shoulder straps gleaming in the sun, showing supreme majesty. His eyes sparkled with wisdom, and his gaze swept over everyone present one by one, as if silently encouraging and affirming them.
The atmosphere in the conference room was both solemn and tense. The participants included senior government officials from various departments of China and senior generals from the military system. They were either sitting or standing, but without exception, everyone's face was full of concentration and expectation. The conference room was crowded with more than a hundred people, making it particularly lively.
Su Zhengyang took a deep breath and spoke slowly. His voice was sonorous and powerful, echoing in the conference room: "This time, the expeditionary force went to Liuwan to eliminate the remaining forces of the Southern Kingdom, and won an overwhelming victory in the head-on confrontation with the Fuso Navy and the Fuso Bay Island Corps. All of this is enough to prove that China has truly risen!"
Every word he said was powerful and inspiring to everyone present. His words were full of pride for the country and confidence in the future, like a warm current flowing through everyone's heart.
Su Zhengyang swept his eyes over the crowd again and continued, "Dignity lies only under the sword, and truth lies only within the range of the cannon. The rapid development of China's military technology and industrial strength has given us the confidence to reach the top of the world and restore China's glory!"
His words were full of affirmation of military strength and expectations for the country's future. His words inspired everyone present, as if they saw a stronger and more prosperous China coming towards them.
As Su Zhengyang finished speaking, there was a burst of warm applause in the conference room. This applause was not only an affirmation of Su Zhengyang's words, but also an expectation and confidence in the future of the entire China. At this moment, everyone deeply felt the rise of China and the hope for the future.
Su Zhengyang waved his hand, and the applause in the venue gradually died down. He stared at the participants in front of him with a sharp gaze, and said in a decisive tone: "The policy of isolation of the Shuiqing Empire has made China, an ancient oriental country with a long history and splendid culture, a weak country that was bullied by Western powers. Backwardness, poverty, and weakness once became our synonyms. But I want to tell you that the mistakes made by the Shuiqing Empire should not be paid by the entire China!"
His words were full of reflections on history and determination for the future. Every word was like a heavy hammer, hitting the hearts of everyone present.
Su Zhengyang took a deep breath and continued, "Over the years, we have ceded land and signed various unequal treaties under the oppression of the great powers. This is a humiliating history that China cannot forget! But today, I want to tell the world that China has stood up! We are no longer lambs to be slaughtered. We have proved our strength and determination to the world!"
His voice echoed in the conference room, making everyone present feel unprecedented excitement and pride.
Su Zhengyang changed the subject and turned to Foreign Minister Fang Dihu, and said firmly, "Fang Dihu!"
Fang Dihu stood up quickly upon hearing the voice, his eyes full of determination and confidence, and replied, "Here!"
Su Zhengyang looked at Fang Dihu and said in an unquestionable tone: "I want you to immediately start negotiations with the United States, France, Britain, Austria and other countries, and formally inform them that from now on, we will cancel the so-called concessions, abolish all their privileges in China, and take back our lost land! From now on, foreigners in China are no longer superior citizens! We welcome them to set up consulates on our land and conduct normal trade exchanges, but if they want to lie on us like blood suckers and enjoy privileges, our Chinese government will never allow it!"
His words were powerful, like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, causing thousands of ripples.
As soon as Su Zhengyang finished speaking, the participants straightened their backs, their faces filled with unprecedented excitement and pride. Their eyes sparkled, as if they saw the future glory and honor of China. Some government officials clenched their fists, too excited to control themselves, their hearts filled with admiration and gratitude for Su Zhengyang;
Some generals straightened their chests, with a determined light in their eyes. They felt that the burden on their shoulders was heavier, but they were also more convinced that with a leader like Su Zhengyang, China would surely move towards a more glorious future. The entire conference room was filled with an exciting and passionate atmosphere, as if everyone had become a witness and participant in China's rise.
