We are Engaged in a War that will Define our Generation Speech
Citizens, soldiers, intelligence agents, air force pilots, navy crews. Bankers, clerks, lawyers, farmers, doctors, nurses, technicians, engineers, and all the rest. A mere 20 hours ago, we were viciously, brutally and suddenly attacked by forces belonging to the 3rd Empire of Jerace. My friends, a mere 20 hours ago, Jerace came upon this Federation like a wolf hunting its prey. 20 hours ago, the first battle was fought. 20 hours ago, a war was begun. 20 hours ago the Federation woke to blood and fire. But 20 hours ago, the end of Jerace, and the next era, one that will no doubt be characterized by this very war, began, this shall be our era.
Good gentleman and ladies, we are now engaged in a war - a conflict, that will forever define our generation. And not just ours, but generations for many hundreds of years. Jerace has shown its fangs, and the wolf is snarling. Just yesterday alone, we have lost over 70,000 good men and women. They will not be the last, but we must make sure their sacrifice was worth it, we must never forget them, and forever fight in their memory. Every sector, from Iomhare to Helanior, every planet, from Envis to Nampon to Spaldei, every city, every town, every village, every home, we must all go to war.
The attacks of Jerace have already put our grand Navy under strain, it is up to all of us to make sure they can weather the tide. Those lost at Honalu, Gorana and Faydion were all proud of their country. Let us make sure we are proud of it as well. Let every Jeraci man and woman that steps into our territory know where they have come. For this land, it is ours, it is our homes they trespass upon. Let us make them feel every metre that they gain. For behind every blade of grass a Federation gun lies. Let their aircraft burn, their vessels explode, and their tanks be wrecked.
It is our right, as peoples of Astraesto, to defend our land, and our space. Let Apreas know, let Osheni know, let Kandino know, that we will all stand together against this threat. For Jerace is the greatest enemy we have ever faced. But I know, in my heart, that we will triumph. It may not be in a decade, nor a century, but no matter the cost, we will stand supreme!
For my friends, let it be made clear, 20 hours ago, Jerace's breaths became numbered. For we stand united, for we stand as one. We stand as a Federation, let us never forget that. Let us cast aside our political issues, let us cast aside our differences, let us cast aside our hate. We are one unified entity. For we will always be stronger together.
For the Federation of Anfieden, and all its Allied Planets!
TO WAR!
-President George Whistle, the onset of the 2nd Galactical War
That is niiice... :D Although I am sceptical when hearing politics speak, it is always lovely to listen or read their silky smooth speeches. This was none other which made me both full of cheer for and resentment towards the Federation. So I wonder if it really is all that smooth, cheerful and innocent for the Federation or were there some shenanigans that led the Empire to attack to their demise? A quick formatting note: the colour contrast between the font and button background makes it difficult to read. For a second there, I thought the Like, Add and Follow options were disabled. More people out there may think similar, and it would be a shame to lose Likes that way.
