"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.
