"Last man standing" is the name of a speech that was delivered by Vierz chancellor Hermann Eschau on X X 1943, in which he called for the nation to unite and prepare for total war and emphasized that it would be a historic battle for Vierzland's survival in the face of an overwhelming communist threat. It was delivered to a plenary session of the Reichsthing and broadcast on national radio. The title of the speech is derived from its famous final line:
There is only one way this war ends: last man standing. God willing, we shall be that last man.
The failure of the invasion of Luepola was realized by early 1943, and Vierzland soon faced a defensive war on multiple fronts against the Socialist International Coalition after Apelia's declaration of war on X X 1943. Eschau, who personally shunned oratory and politicking, was pressured by his advisors to make a public speech to improve public morale after a stream of military defeats.
