1:12:05
Apparently, we're being blamed
for everything. ''The foreign devils''.
1:12:09
Oh, it's an old trick, to unify people by
getting them to hate something or someone.
1:12:14
Well, we're it.
They all want to get rid of us.
1:12:17
Chiang Kai-shek peacefully,
the Communists in the movement by force.
1:12:22
And we're supposed to grin and bear it.
1:12:25
Because if we fire back, we give them
new propaganda to use against us,
1:12:29
and play into the hands of Communists,
who want us to start a real war
1:12:33
so that Russia can come to China's
rescue and in that way take her over.
1:12:40
lt is an accident of history that we in the
San Pablo are the first American armed unit
1:12:44
to come face to face with this new thing.
1:12:47
How we face it can be
our great honour, or our dishonour.
1:12:52
l intend that it shall be our honour.
1:12:56
Our government has decided for now
1:12:58
not to treat fighting between
Chiang Kai-shek and the other warlords
1:13:01
as just another warlord squabble.
1:13:04
We will treat it as an authentic civil war, in
which we must remain very carefully neutral.
1:13:10
The United States Government
has ordered the evacuation of central China.
1:13:14
We shall be making one last trip to Baoshan
to rescue the missionaries at China Light.
1:13:20
Make all preparations for getting underway.
1:13:40
- Stop engine.
- Stop engine.
1:13:47
Those are the China Light people,
but l don't see Jameson. Where is Jameson?
1:13:51
He wouldn't come.
1:13:55
- Go to China Light and get him.
- Aye aye, sir.
1:13:57
Shove off at once. Damned nonsense.
