A few hours earlier, bombs dropped from B-17 bombers had rained down on the city, destroying and shattering all the houses on the ground in a steady stream of explosions. As in the previous bombing, the flames from the explosion effortlessly ignited the broken walls of tattered wood that had been blown up, and the entire city was red-hot and orange-red. After that, the most terrifying thing happened: after a huge explosion, the debris of the shattered house was swept into the air at an altitude of more than 4,000 meters by an invisible wave of air, and in less than an instant, this wave of air was ignited by the fire below and turned into a red pillar of fire. The two B-17s, which were in close proximity, were overturned by the air wave, and they rolled violently in the air several times before disintegrating and falling, and neither of the pilots survived.

The massive pillar of fire began to sway slightly in the wind, then began to twist, eventually turning into a red-hot tornado. Wherever it rolled, the flames burned, and under its rage, the whole city turned into hell. The people's cries for help could not be heard at all, they were only swept into the fire like ants, only Xinguan outside the southern city, which had been burned once before, was spared, and people jumped into the water of the Pearl River. But half of these people also suffered misfortune - the oil depot of the Xinguan Wharf Oil Company's heavily guarded oil depot exploded violently in the roasting fire, and gasoline and diesel all flowed into the river. Fried eel, nearly 10,000 people were fried in hot oil on the spot.

At the moment when the fire tornado blew, because of the lack of oxygen, more than 100,000 people died due to lack of oxygen, but the torture was not over, and the corpses they left behind finally oozed out of the corpse oil under the smoke of the fire, emitting an attractive aroma.

After a night of fire, Chen Lianbo, the Guangdong representative of the Inspector's Institute who happened to take a plane back to the city to visit his hometown fathers, walked to the small north gate and collapsed to the ground. In this beastly wail, there is not only sadness, grief, but also remorse - he voted for Weng Wenhao to form a cabinet; He voted to withdraw from the East Asia Alliance; He voted not to declare war on the United States. He did everything he could, but the result was the destruction of his family, but his original intention was to protect the family business, protect his family, and even protect Guangzhou, the most prosperous city in South China. How so? How so?!

Chen Lianbo was grieving in Guangzhou, and Wu Jinglian, speaker of the House of Doubts, denounced Shi Chengzhi, director of the National Security Bureau, who controlled communications, in Beijing. After convening all the delegates in Beijing, the Inspectorate immediately voted on the formation of a new cabinet, and the provincial deputies who were shocked by the photos and casualties were chilled, and under the encouragement of the leader of the National Party, Liang Qichao, who wept and wept, almost all of them voted in favor -- on the twenty-ninth day of July in the 27th year of Shenwu, Zhong Guanguan was inaugurated as the fifth prime minister of Greater China, and Weng Wenhao's cabinet was overthrown.

On the same day, millions of people in the capital and more than 100,000 students who had entered Beijing inside and outside the city to petition immediately marched to celebrate the collapse of the cabinet of sellers. After the complete cheers, the cries from the students swept through the city like the wind, and the people killed and injured in the Guangzhou disaster were all Chinese compatriots, and no one did not shed tears when they thought of their tragic situation. The next day was the first day of the seventh month of the leap month, and all the temples in all cities across the country held a ceremony to pray for more than 300,000 victims in Guangzhou.

On the third day of the seventh month of the leap month, when Yang Rui flew to the capital on Sakhalin Island, he saw a black and white world, with people and students on both sides of the road, and it was not Zhong Guangguan or the imperial uncle Zhu Wanlun who greeted him, but a dying old man and a child who could not speak very well. Before Yang Rui's motorcade drove into Yongding Gate, the old man knelt on the spacious but empty road with his child.

Yang Rui, who understood what was going on, immediately got out of the car and hurriedly helped him, but the old man was crying and talking while holding several pieces of clothing in both hands, he choked up, his whole body convulsed, and what he said was all vernacular. In fact, there is no need for words, Yang Rui also understands that this is the clothing of his family and children in Guangzhou. In the tragedy in Guangzhou, only one old and one young family remained in the capital, and all the children and grandchildren were killed. There are so many people in the country, he doesn't go to Dali Temple to cry, he doesn't go to Zhonghua Gate to cry, only when Yang Rui arrives in Beijing, he silently, old tears kneel outside the Yongding Gate, he looks forward to Yang Rui to call the shots for him!

The burning of Hamburg and Tokyo was after the U.S. military was equipped with incendiary bombs, and I didn't want the overly prosperous Guangzhou to be so ablaze by ordinary bombs. According to the investigation after the incident, the main cause of the fire was the explosion of the Chengxi Natural Gas Company's pipeline, and the natural gas stored by the Guangzhou Natural Gas Company was washed up to an altitude of 4,000 meters.

"...... Abel" Yang Rui patted the old man's back, wanting to say something but couldn't find any words to comfort him. He finally took the clothes he had sent, held them in both hands, and strode forward after the old man was persuaded by his subordinates.

Under the attention of countless citizens and students, the representative of the Inspectorate was under the city tower, the imperial uncle Zhu Wanlun was also there, and Zhong Guanguan, who had just assumed the post of prime minister, was also there. Unlike the smiling Zhong Guanguan, Wang Jitong, Zhu Wanlun, Guo Bi, the Japanese and Korean ambassadors, and others, the representatives of the Inspectorate all hid behind the representatives of the Imperial Court, and when his gaze swept over, he dodged one by one so as not to make contact with him. Of course, except for Liang Qichao, who was standing at the front, he was smiling and looking frank.

"Unexpectedly, so many people ......, you should say something." Zhong Guanguan smiled after Yang Rui greeted everyone, he was probably ready for Yang Rui to speak, and arranged everything on the tower of Yongding Gate City. If you go up to speak, Yang Rui's voice can be heard outside the gate of the capital, and even, the whole country can hear his voice.

Yang Rui did not hand over the clothes he was holding to the person beside him, although the clothes were very light, but his heart was heavily weighed by it. At this time, when he saw Zhong Sightseeing, he asked him to give a speech to the people, and he really had the intention but not enough strength. It's just that this is the first day of the new cabinet, and after two days of mourning, the people of the whole country want to hear his firm, confident, and victorious voice.

On the high Yongding Gate Tower, countless people and students looked up at each other, which made Yang Rui feel like an electric shock - he remembered that in a dream a long, long time ago, he seemed to dream of this scene: in the dream, it was also a tall person surrounded by everyone, standing on the high city tower and talking to countless people below.

The sky was clear, and the scorching sun of late summer was shining on his cold face. His voice rang out, far away, far away......
