We
are
fighting
this
war
[against
the
Japanese]
for
our
own
national
existence
and
for
freedom
to
follow
the
course
of
national
revolution
laid
down
for
us
in
the
Three
Principles
of
the
People.
…
…
You
[high‑level
Guomindang
officials]
should
instruct
our
people
to
take
lessons
from
the
annals
of
the
Song
and
Ming
dynasties.
The
fall
of
these
two
dynasties
[to
the
Mongols
and
the
Manchus]
was
not
caused
by
outside
enemies
with
a
superior
force,
but
by
a
dispirited
and
cowardly
minority
within
the
governing
class
and
society
of
the
time.
Today
the
morale
of
our
people
is
excellent.
…
…
Our
resistance
is
a
united
effort
of
government
and
people.
…
Concord
between
government
and
people
is
the
first
essential
to
victory.
…
The
hearts
of
our
people
are
absolutely
united.
