Great Northern War Speech by Peter I
Success isn’t determined by the one with the biggest mind or body, the one with the biggest heart is the one who is most likely to achieve. I don’t care how small you are, or where you are from, you can all have success. Look at me, 6 foot 7. You think it is my size that got me here today, no! It comes from my drive and work ethic that keeps me working until I get what I want.
As we stand here today, we have been in this war for 19 years, battling hard and effectively to get here. Many people have died just to get in this point of the war. Do you think we should just throw all their work away, or fight, for what they believed in. Fight for what they put their lives down for. Fight, for what is best for this country, our country. Think back to the beginning of this war, when that bastard Charles invaded this country for the first time. 23,000 Russians were buried that day. Men of our own blood, fighting for our cause. We all have a choice. Put those deaths to waste, or fight on! Make those deaths worth something. Those before left behind a legacy, and so should you. When people look back on this battle, what will they think. Do you want to be remembered as part of the battle where the Swedes destroyed us? Or the battle. The battle where Russia came out victorious. This is all decided not by me, but by you. All of you control your own destiny. While those Swedes may think they are all that, they have nothing, on real Russians. Russians fight, for what we believe. Russians never give up, never give in. But I am not only asking you to live up to the legacy of those before you, but to create your own legacy. That you will be remembered by. When fighting here today, I want you to think about what this is going to do for your family back home, those that you care about. Those Swedes, have threatened all that you love! Are you going to just let them take what they want, no! Will you let them change who we are as Russians, all united, together, no! Are you going to stand down, and give up in this battle, no! But are we going to make them pay for what they have done to us already, of course! They will never forget the day they decided to mess with us, and those in the future will praise our courage forever!
Look at your brothers around you. When you are out on that battlefield today, giving it all you have, you aren’t fighting by yourself. We have the force of an army supporting each and everyone of you. We go out there, and fight as a brotherhood! And I know, that together, we shall achieve greatness.
