Chapter 429: Song Yuanming is imprisoned and the Southern Government responds

The first rays of sunlight in the morning shone on the open space in front of the Nan Guo Government Building, and the golden light danced on the rostrum. A speech about the future of Nan Guo was about to begin here.

Huang Guangtai, the current president of the South, was dressed in a neat presidential uniform, and his figure looked solemn and firm in the morning light. His eyes were like torches, revealing unquestionable authority and determination. Under the close protection of his personal guards, he walked onto the podium, and every step was steady and powerful, as if carrying the hope and future of the entire South.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Huang Guangtai picked up the microphone with a solemn expression.

His voice spread throughout the square through the loudspeaker, and every word was clear and powerful, as if it could penetrate people's hearts. He took a deep breath and began his sincere speech.

"I know that some people with ulterior motives in the Southern Government have colluded with Fusang, causing serious harm to the people of the entire Southern Country and also affecting the fundamental interests and bottom line of the entire China." Huang Guangtai's words revealed deep pain and indignation. His eyes swept through the crowd, as if looking for the faces of those who were hurt, and his voice was full of apology and determination.

"But please believe that this is not the decision of the entire southern government, but a decision made by some people for their own selfish interests, deceiving their superiors and subordinates." Huang Guangtai's words were firm and powerful, revealing his persistence in justice and respect for public opinion. He promised that he would severely deal with those who betrayed the interests of the country and the nation without mercy.

"At the same time, I, Huang Guangtai, swear here that I will never betray my nation, my country, or do anything that would harm China's interests." Huang Guangtai's words were full of determination and confidence. He looked straight ahead, as if announcing his faith and determination to the whole world.

As his speech progressed, Huang Guangtai's voice became more and more passionate, and his words were full of love for the country and the nation. His speech resonated with tens of thousands of people present.

Huang Guangtai demonstrated outstanding political talent and oratory charm.

His every move and every word were carefully planned and rehearsed. His speech was like a well-choreographed drama, with every detail just right, successfully conveying his sincerity and determination.

His expression was serious and solemn, his words were full of love for the country and the nation, and his eyes revealed determination and confidence. Such performance undoubtedly made the people present feel at ease and trustworthy.

However, although Huang Guangtai's speech was full of passion and power, the anger of the people in the south did not subside.

In the past two years, a series of decisions made by the southern government have disappointed and angered the people.

When the Northern Frontier was facing internal and external troubles and Fuso was marching south, the Southern Government chose to wage war against the Northern Frontier. When the Northern Frontier launched a northern expedition and severely attacked Fuso's Kwantung Army, the Southern Government chose to remain silent and stand aside. Such behavior made the people lose trust in the Southern Government. They almost saw through the Southern Government's nature of being profit-seeking and lacking national justice.

Huang Guangtai knows that it is not easy to win back the trust and support of the people. He understands that his speech is just the beginning, and the real challenge lies in the subsequent actions and decisions. He must take action to make up for the mistakes of the past government and rebuild the image of the South Korean government in order to truly appease the dissatisfaction and anger of the people.

"I know that every citizen present here is eager to uncover the truth about the collusion between the Southern Government and Fuso and to find the black hand behind the scenes. I deeply understand your anger and your doubts. Because I also hope that all these mysteries can be solved as soon as possible, so that justice and the truth can be revealed to the world." Huang Guangtai's words were like a warm current in the cold winter, penetrating the doubts in people's hearts.

As he finished speaking, four burly soldiers walked out from the backstage, their steps firm and powerful. In their hands, they dragged a hunchbacked, pale-faced man. This man was Song Yuanming, the prime minister of the Southern Government. Unlike his radiant appearance in the past, he looked as if he had been through endless torture.

Song Yuanming's shoulders were bound by heavy shackles, and the shackles on his feet made dull sounds as he walked. Half of his cheek was swollen and deformed, obviously he had suffered a heavy blow. The corners of his mouth were still faintly stained with dried blood, as if silently telling his experience.

His upper body was covered with bloody whip marks, which crisscrossed like shocking scars, making it hard to bear looking at them. His clothes were torn, revealing the bloody marks, as if to show people the pain he had endured.

Song Yuanming staggered and stood unsteadily, as if he might fall at any time. But he still stubbornly straightened his back. Although his eyes were full of fatigue and despair, they still flashed with an unyielding light.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the entire venue reached a climax. The angry eyes of the people were like sharp blades, pointing directly at Song Yuanming.

They want to know what secrets this beloved southern prime minister is hiding, and what role he played in this incident?

In fact, most of the people present were struggling and conflicted about the fact that Song Yuanming was the mastermind behind this incident. The Song family, as the leading top family in the Southern Government, had an impeccable reputation and status. Over the years, the Song family has always upheld the principles of justice and benevolence. Whenever a natural disaster strikes, they always lend a helping hand at the first time, leading the disaster relief team to go deep into the disaster area to provide timely assistance to the people affected by the disaster.

Song Yuanming has been the prime minister for 20 years. He has set an example and is honest and dedicated to his work, which has earned him the respect and love of the people. His reputation is excellent in the South and even in China as a whole. People generally believe that he is a responsible and responsible leader.

However, now such a highly respected person has been exposed for colluding with Fuso and betraying the country, which is difficult for the people present to accept. They are filled with anger and disappointment. They can't believe that such a person who usually looks so upright can do such a heinous thing.

"Song Yuanming!" Huang Guangtai's voice resounded throughout the venue, his eyes filled with anger and disappointment, "As the Prime Minister of the Southern Government, you secretly colluded with Fuso and attempted to sell out the Southern Country and the interests of the entire Chinese Country! Do you know your crime!"

Song Yuanming was held tightly on the podium by four soldiers, his face remained calm, without any panic or anxiety. He slowly raised his head, looked directly at Huang Guangtai, and said in a firm and steady voice: "I have failed the trust of the Southern Government, and I have failed the people of the entire Chinese country. I am willing to accept any punishment to atone for my mistakes."

As soon as he finished speaking, the people in the meeting became even more angry. They raised their right hands and shouted, "Kill him!" "Kill this traitor!" "We Chinese don't have such a spineless person. He is not worthy of being the prime minister of the Southern Government!"

Huang Guangtai felt mixed emotions watching the angry people. He and Song Yuanming were old friends for many years, and the latter was also his brother-in-law. He knew Song Yuanming's character and conduct very well, and he also knew that Song Yuanming did this to get rid of the threat from the northern border to the southern government.

But under the current situation, he had to make a decision. Huang Guangtai gritted his teeth and said in a low and firm voice: "Come here, put Song Yuanming in prison for me, and choose a day to publicly try and execute him!" Although his voice was low, it was full of determination and decisiveness.

As he finished speaking, four soldiers immediately took action. They grabbed Song Yuanming's arms tightly and escorted him off the stage. Song Yuanming did not resist or speak, but just endured it all silently. There was a complex light in his eyes, as if he was saying goodbye to the place where he had worked for decades, and also to the people at the scene.
