The National Broadcasting Company and its affiliated stations present the Pacific story. This is the story of the Pacific. The drama of the millions of people who live around its greatest scene, where the United States is now committed to a long-term policy of keeping the peace.
This is a documentary account of the situation in the Pacific. Of the men and events which are today influencing world affairs for generations to come. Fing Jiang, powder keg of Asia. There's enough dynamite in Fing Jiang to start another world war.
To put it another way, Mr. Wilkie, Fing Jiang here is the center of a political volcano, which may blow up the top of the world. But even when Wilkie did not realize how close this goes to was, a preview of what is in the wind seemed like a tornado.
The fighting tribesmen of Central Asia are sweeping across the Turkish-stan border region in North West Fingdiang, in open rebellion against the Chinese. After 10 years under the regime of Governor Tsang-Si, the Muslim Uighur and the Khazakhs are laying siege to the border down of Inning, sometimes called Khulja. The tribesmen are armed with modern weapons and led by mysterious
and competent leaders. Extent of the losses have not yet been determined, but it is expected that they were wrong. It's just a mini-fireland! In the capital city of Quiwa, 350 miles east of the beach, down of any intention was high.
It is an outbreak. You trainees did nothing to turn out rich to suppressors and to govern your fangs for ten years. You say that because you are a cuzarchic. It's true. You cuzarchs and we're yours have all of us resented us, Chinese.
