Chapter 15 - Franklin Delano Roosevelt

In America, specifically in North America, a special figure also emerged. A politician who awakened a martial soul with no less symbolic.

Now, his workload has skyrocketed due to the aftermath of the earthquake.

As he was passing through a densely populated area, a peculiar feeling arose within him, urging him to act.

"The time has come, there's no room for hesitation. The era of America uniting the world has arrived."

He quickly sought out the necessary tools to begin his speech. As for the script, he hadn't prepared one, he simply spoke whatever came to mind.

This was not unusual. Not only him, but other future leaders had also awakened simultaneously, responding to the call of the times.

They originally had no intention of taking on such roles, but destiny had chosen them as pivotal figures. The reason for their existence became much clearer than just a few hours ago.

After a while, he had gathered what he needed. The person who was supposed to deliver the speech was not him, but he had enough reputation to step in.

Looking down at the crowd waiting to receive news from the government, he realized that under normal circumstances, the announcement would have been sent via phone. 

However, the current situation had caused severe damage to the network, making that impossible. Hence, they had to resort to this manual method.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am here to deliver news about our current situation. The government is working tirelessly to mitigate the effects of the recent disaster. There is no need to panic, we must have faith in our government. We are the strongest country in the world, so we can certainly resolve this swiftly."

Although the announcement was not very specific, since detailed information had not yet been disseminated, it still served to reassure the public. After all, the government of a superpower commands significant authority.

He was different from the other two, so he needed to issue a formal announcement before his speech. The reason was that he was a politician, while the other two were not. 

Making an announcement could be seen as his responsibility. Whether he was know the information or not, he had to do it to help the public feel more at ease.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please listen to a few words from me. Our country is currently the strongest economy in the world. We are also a nation of freedom, where the people enjoy the highest privileges.

Although we are strong, we have not yet overwhelmed all other nations on this planet. 

Our country, our people, are the most equal and free in this world. Now, having been granted power by God, we will use this strength to turn this world into a true paradise, a world of genuine freedom.

We are a great nation, and we are great people. I am Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Join me in leading America into its most prosperous era! Join me in elevating the life of every one of you to the highest pinnacle!

Let us liberate all peoples of the world from the yoke of oppressive governments and lead them to true freedom and justice under the banner of Great America.

The will and determination of the American people are the strongest in this world. We will undoubtedly stand atop the true pinnacle of this world. The American people are the greatest, the freest, the smartest, and the noblest.

Long live Great America! Long live freedom!"

With the final shout, his martial soul appeared. A majestic eagle, wings spread wide in freedom, with the national flag fluttering behind the man, created another iconic image.

The crowd, after hearing his speech, felt their spirits rise. The greatness of America and its people was an ideology deeply ingrained within them. Supportive shouts rang out:

"Long live Great America! Long live freedom!"

"Long live Great America! Long live freedom!"

"Long live Great America! Long live freedom!"

.....

Just like the other two, his speech quickly spread throughout the country, which would soon be known as the Great America.

People across the nation stood up in support of him. While they may not have had a sense of American nationalism, they had a strong sense of personal pride.

They felt that Franklin had said nothing wrong. They saw themselves reflected in his words, feeling that they were indeed as noble as he described.

With such a large number of supporters, even the current president could not garner as much support as he did. In just a few months, the position of supreme leader of Great America would belong to him.

America's situation was different from the other two countries. During the world wars and throughout modern history, they were develop very smoothly to the era and could be considered the greatest beneficiaries.

The American people now came from all over the world, and since it was not an ancient nation, there was no such thing as a national spirit.

In Franklin's heart, there was only Great America and its people. These factors led to his speech being different from that of the other two.

Each country has its own unique characteristics. America is particularly special, as it was formed later than others and has become the leading economic superpower.

Regardless of whether their past actions were righteous or wicked, one thing could be confirmed: the leaders of America were extremely talented.

Now, a wave of spreading freedom began to sweep across America. They believed that all people in the world deserved the same freedom they enjoyed.

To achieve this, America had to become the supreme leader of all nations to ensure that everyone could attain freedom.

However, it was still too early to start a war, but it wouldn't be long before, once enough strength had been accumulated, Great America would unify the world once and for all.

But that was just a beautiful dream. God had set everyone at the same starting point, making it difficult to surpass others. Furthermore, other nations were not ordinary or foolish, so it wouldn't be that easy.

A conflict was inevitable, but it remained to be seen which nation would ultimately be the greatest of all time.
