It's almost lunch time, but the studio is still busy.
Two students from Nankai University, a man and a woman, are broadcasting academic programs.
Today we are talking about popular science knowledge about chemistry: “Everything in the world is made of elements. For example, the water we depend on for survival is composed of oxygen elements and hydrogen elements. As early as 1869, the Russian chemist Mendeleev
That’s when the periodic table of elements was invented…”
After Zhang Leyi opened the letters from readers, she asked Zhou Hexuan with a smile: "Does anyone really listen to this kind of scientific knowledge? The content is too superficial. Students have long known it, but ordinary people cannot understand it."
Zhou Hexuan explained: "This kind of program is mainly broadcast to children. Maybe at this moment, there is a twelve or thirteen-year-old child who became interested in chemistry after listening to the radio and became a great Chinese figure decades later.
chemist."
"In this way, it is really meaningful." Zhang Leyi nodded.
Zhou Hexuan said with a smile: "We are not doing business, but doing business."
Zhang Leyi sorted out all the letters from readers and said with some hesitation: "Brother Zhou, I... I want to be an announcer. I think it's quite interesting."
Zhou Hexuan said with a smile: "Okay, you will be the one to broadcast this afternoon's program. When you can handle it freely, I might as well let you host "7pm Gossip", so I can take some time to rest."
"Can I really do it?" Zhang Leyi was quite positive about this, but she was afraid of making mistakes during the broadcast.
Zhou Hexuan comforted him and said, "You won't know if you try it, but I'll be there to watch over you."
"Jingle Bell!"
The phone in the house suddenly rang.
"Hello, this is China Radio." Zhang Leyi answered the phone and said.
An anxious voice came from the phone: "I'm Hu Zhengzhi, please call Mr. Zhou. It's urgent!"
Zhang Leyi handed the receiver to Zhou Hexuan: "It's for you."
Hu Zhengzhi spoke very quickly: "Mingcheng, when the massacre occurred in Jinan, Japanese soldiers killed Chinese people on sight. The reporter we sent to Jinan was also injured. He is now hiding in the telegraph office and dare not go out."
"I understand," Zhou Hexuan sighed secretly and asked, "Can you contact the Jinan Negotiation Office of the Northern Expeditionary Army?"
Hu Zhengzhi asked: "What do you want to do?"
Zhou Hexuan said: "If you can contact the other party, please inform Mr. Cai Gongshi and ask him to take people out of the Negotiation Office. The Japanese may take action against the Negotiation Office."
"No way?" Hu Zhengzhi said in disbelief, "The Negotiation Office is full of diplomats. No matter how arrogant the Japanese are, they can never ignore international law and attack diplomats."
"Just do as you're told." Zhou Hexuan said in a commanding tone.
Hu Zhengzhi hung up the phone, still unable to believe what Zhou Hexuan just said.
Even the ancients knew that war between the two countries would not end without a fight, let alone in a modern civilized society. If the Japanese dare to attack diplomats, they will inevitably receive international condemnation and their national image will plummet.
Hu Zhengzhi walked around the office anxiously. The situation in Jinan is now dangerous, and reporters from "Ta Kung Pao" dare not go to the streets at all. Without knowing the specific situation, Tianjin cannot do news reports and can only wait patiently for news.
After another half an hour, Hu Zhengzhi was so upset that he finally couldn't help but go out to the telegraph office.
The reporter of "Ta Kung Pao" hid in the telegraph office and soon received the message from Hu Zhengzhi. The content of the telegram shocked the reporter. He immediately borrowed the telegraph office's phone number to call the telephone office and asked the telephone office to transfer the call to the Northern Expeditionary Army.
Negotiation Office.
…
In his early years, Cai Gongshi pursued Sun Yat-sen, participated in the Tongmenghui, went through various movements such as the Revolution of 1911 and the Dharma Protection Movement, and founded Peking University in 1916.
During the Northern Expedition, Cai Gongshi served as the political affairs committee member of the General Headquarters of the National Revolutionary Army and the director of the Foreign Affairs Office.
The Japanese regarded Shandong as their own sphere of influence and mobilized troops into Shandong in April. The Northern Expeditionary Army occupied Jinan on May 1.
On the day they entered the city, some Northern Expedition soldiers were killed by Japanese soldiers.
Chang Kaishen believed that the Japanese wanted to deliberately provoke disputes. In order to avoid escalating the situation, he tried his best to negotiate with the Japanese side and at the same time restricted his soldiers from leaving the camp at will.
Cai Gongshi just arrived at the Jinan Negotiation Office yesterday just to resolve the matter, but the Japanese personnel ignored him at all.
"Jingle Bell!"
Cai Gongshi, who was standing by the phone, immediately picked up the receiver when he heard the ring. He thought it was a Japanese call: "Hello, this is the Jinan Negotiation Office of the Northern Expeditionary Army. I am Cai Gongshi."
"Hello, Director Cai, I am Liu Zhiyu, a reporter from Ta Kung Pao." The other person responded.
Who is a reporter from "Ta Kung Pao"?
Cai Gongshi said angrily: "I don't have time for an interview now. You can call me another day."
"Director Cai, don't hang up the phone!" Liu Zhiyu shouted quickly, "I have important information to inform you."
Cai Gongshi said patiently: "Please speak."
Liu Zhiyu said: "According to reliable information, the Japanese are going to attack the Negotiation Office. Please take people to evacuate immediately. Now the Japanese soldiers are killing people all over the city. Only the military camp is safe. You have to be careful."
"I understand, thank you for reminding me." After Cai Gongshi finished speaking, he hung up. He did not believe that the Japanese dared to kill diplomats.
Until the afternoon.
Cai Gongshi called the Japanese Consulate in Jinan many times, but no one answered the phone. He couldn't wait to make an appointment in advance, so he took people out directly to prepare for face-to-face negotiations at the Japanese Consulate.
But before walking out of the door, the sound of a car engine could be heard outside, followed by a series of running sounds.
Cai Gongshi asked someone to open the door and take a look. They saw that machine guns had been set up outside and Japanese soldiers were everywhere. They were surrounded.
"What do they want to do?" Zhang Linshu, general affairs officer of the Negotiation Department, asked in surprise.
Cai Gongshi frowned and whispered to himself: "These Japanese are not really crazy, are they?"
When Zhang Hongjian, a counselor at the Negotiation Office, took two steps out of the gate, the Japanese soldiers on the opposite side immediately shouted: "This place has been classified as a military control area. If you dare to take a step forward, you will be shot to death immediately!"
"return!"
Cai Gongshi ordered that the Negotiation Office was safe at all times, and there was no way he could leave here. If he was beaten to death by Japanese soldiers, there would be no excuse.
All the diplomats were depressed, but they were all scholars and there was nothing they could do about it.
The atrocities committed by the Japanese troops in the city continued. They killed Chinese people whenever they encountered them, even civilians. Some Japanese soldiers even broke into Chinese shops and houses, killed all the Chinese people inside, and then looted all their belongings.
until 9pm.
Suddenly a Japanese officer led troops into the negotiation office and ordered: "Tie them all up!"
Cai Gongshi was furious: "What do you want to do? This is the Negotiation Office, a diplomatic agency. Get out of here immediately!"
The Japanese officer sneered and watched quietly as the soldiers tied up the Chinese diplomat.
Cai Gongshi reprimanded in Japanese: "You don't know the diplomatic etiquette, and you are so rude and reckless! This time your country sent troops to Jinan, saying it was to protect the overseas Chinese, why did you take the opportunity to provoke, act arrogantly, and do all kinds of unreasonable things! It is really uncivilized.
It’s time to get out of here!”
The Japanese officer looked ferocious, walked up to Cai Gongshi, and suddenly slapped Cai Gongshi, causing Cai Gongshi's nose to bleed.
Cai Gongshi no longer used diplomatic and civilized vocabulary, and angrily shouted: "You bandits! I have seen through you a long time ago. Now as a Chinese, I denounce you bandits!"
"Very good," the Japanese officer waved his hand and ordered, "cut off his nose and ears."
Two Japanese soldiers held Cai Gongshi at bay, while the other raised his bayonet and soon cut off Cai Gongshi's ears and nose. Blood spurted out, and it was horrific.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
When the Japanese soldiers saw this situation, they laughed loudly and looked like animals.
Cai Gongshi was not intimidated. He opened his eyes wide and cursed loudly: "Japanese bandits are worse than animals. When will this kind of national humiliation be eliminated!"
"Son of a bitch!"
"Japanese bandits, come on, I'm not afraid."
"Heaven will destroy Japan, I will wait for you in the underworld!"
"..."
The other diplomats were filled with righteous indignation. Faced with the Japanese guns, they all roared and cursed.
The Japanese officer pointed at Zhang Linshu: "You scolded the loudest, I heard it, and I will take good care of you."
The Japanese soldiers swarmed up and cut off Zhang Linshu's ears and nose, and chopped off his limbs. The gentle diplomat was instantly beaten into a stick by the Japanese soldiers.
Unable to vent their anger, these bastards cut off the ropes of the diplomats, dragged them in groups of three to the courtyard of the Negotiation Office, and shot them to death indiscriminately.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
After killing the people, the Japanese soldiers laughed and walked away.
Among the corpses, a figure climbed up with difficulty and fled out with faltering steps.
