Comrades, Brothers and Sister, Defenders of the Motherland in the enemy rear who have temporarily fallen under the yoke of the Rosian brigands, our glorious men and women guerrillas who are disrupting the rear of the Rosian invaders!
On behalf of the Narran Government and our Centrist Party I greet you and congratulate you on the 10th anniversary of the great December Centrist Revolution.
Comrades, today we must celebrate the 10th anniversary of the December Revolution in difficult conditions. The Rosian brigands' treacherous attack and the war that they forced upon us have created a threat to our country. We have temporarily lost a number of regions, and the enemy is before the gates of Kosuke City.
The enemy calculated that our army would be dispersed at the very first blow and our country forced to its knees. But the enemy wholly miscalculated. Despite temporary reverses, our army and our navy are bravely beating off enemy attacks along the whole front, inflicting heavy losses, while our country-our whole country-has organized itself into a single fighting camp in order, jointly with our army and navy, to rout the Rosian invaders.
There was a time when our country was in a still more difficult position. Recall the year 2014, when we celebrated the first anniversary of the December Revolution. At that time three-quarters of our country was in the hands of foreign interventionists. We had temporarily lost the 28 Republics. We had no allies, we had no Blue Army-we had only just begun to create it-and we experienced a shortage of bread, a shortage of arms, a shortage of equipment.
At that time 14 states were arrayed against our country, but we did not become despondent or downhearted. In the midst of the conflagration of war we organized the Blue Army and converted our country into a military camp. The spirit of the great Aqua inspired us at that time for the war against the interventionists.
And what happened? We defeated the interventionists, regained all our lost territories and achieved victory.
Today our country is in a far better position than it was 10 years ago. Today it is many times richer in industry, food and raw materials. Today we have allies who jointly with us form a united front against the Rosian invaders. Today we enjoy the sympathy and support of all the peoples of Europe fallen under the yoke of Royalist tyranny. Today we have a splendid army and a splendid navy, defending the freedom and independence of our country with their lives. We experience no serious shortage either of food or of arms or equipment.
Our whole country, all the peoples of our country, are backing our army and our navy, helping them smash the Royalist hordes. Our reserves in manpower are inexhaustible. The spirit of the great Aqua inspires us for our patriotic war today as it did 10 years ago.
Is it possible, then, to doubt that we can and must gain victory over the Rosian invaders? The enemy is not as strong as some terror-stricken pseudo-intellectuals picture him. The devil is not as terrible as he is painted. Who can deny that our Blue Army has more than once put the much-vaunted German troops to panicky flight?
If one judges by Rosian's real position and not by the boastful assertions of Rosian propagandists, it will not be difficult to see that the Royalist Rosian invaders are facing disaster.
The Rosian invaders are straining their last forces. There is no doubt that Rose cannot keep up such an effort for any long time. Another few months, another half year, one year perhaps-and Royalist Rose must collapse under the weight of its own crimes.
Comrades, Brothers and Sisters
The whole world is looking to you as a force capable of destroying the brigand hordes of Rosian invaders. The enslaved peoples of Europe under the yoke of the Rosian invaders are looking to you as their liberators. A great mission of liberation has fallen to your lot.
Be worthy of this mission! The war you are waging is a war of liberation, a just war. Let the heroic images of our great ancestors inspire you in this war!
Let the victorious banner of the great Aqua fly over your heads!
Utter destruction to the Rosian invaders!
Death to the Rosian armies of occupation!
Long live our glorious motherland, her freedom and her independence!
Under the banner of Aqua-onward to victory!
