If Zhang Xueliang's loss of Northeast China was disappointing, then Chang Kaishen's performance in the Battle of Jehol was outrageous.
The fighting on the front line was in a mess, so Chang Kaishen, under the pressure of public opinion, pretended to send three divisions of the Central Army to the Great Wall to resist the Japanese. However, these Central Army troops were just here to make soy sauce and were not active in resisting the Japanese invaders.
, instead they are keen on monitoring and intimidating friendly forces.
Perhaps, without the obstruction of the Central Army of these three divisions, the Great Wall War of Resistance would have been fought more smoothly.
Just some time ago, the Nanjing National Government and the Japanese Kwantung Army formally signed the "Tanggu Agreement." In summary, it recognized Japan's occupation of the four northeastern provinces in disguise, and designated Suidong, Chabei and Jidong as free areas.
It was possible to enter and exit at any time, and the whole of North China was open to the Japanese invaders.
Because the content of the Tanggu Agreement was so outrageous that the Nanjing government did not dare to make it public, but some of its provisions were still disclosed by newspapers.
Especially Article 4: Do not use armed groups that stimulate the emotions of the Japanese soldiers.
This clause is equivalent to declaring that all anti-Japanese armed forces in North China are illegal, at least something that the Nanjing government will never support.
Even many people within the Kuomintang could not stand it anymore. The Nanjing National Defense Conference directly determined that the Tanggu Agreement was "illegal and unauthorized" and did not recognize the legality of the agreement. The iron-clad Mr. Wang Zhaoming stood up and expressed his willingness to "take responsibility"
", and resolutely promote the implementation of the "Tanggu Agreement."
At the same time, the Nanjing National Government vigorously suppressed domestic anti-Japanese sentiment, prohibited public anti-Japanese activities, and prohibited regular newspapers and periodicals from promoting anti-Japanese ideas.
"Fei Gong" obviously goes against the Nanjing government's spirit of "reconciling foreign forces before settling domestic affairs." If it hadn't been for the organizer Zhou Hexuan, it would have been banned when the second issue was released.
…
Dai Li was wearing a suit and had his hair slicked back. He walked into the Sanletang Hall like a dog, cupped his fists and said with a smile: "Ming Gong, I have long admired your name! Chunfeng has taken the liberty to visit me, please forgive me."
"Ming Gong" is the highest level of honorific title, just like many people call Zhang Xueliang "Han Gong".
Zhou Hexuan laughed and said, "I can't stand up to Director Dai's promotion. I'm scared. Haha, I'm scared."
"Where, where," Dai Li said with a smile, "Mr. Zhou is famous overseas and has greatly increased the prestige of our people. I have long wanted to come and ask for advice in person."
Zhou Hexuan said: "Director Dai, thank you for your hard work. Please sit down."
Dai Li rambled a lot and talked nonsense for a long time. Suddenly he mentioned Chang Kai and said: "Ming Gong, the Chairman learned that I am coming to Tianjin and asked me to bring you a message."
Zhou Hexuan said: "Director Dai, please speak."
Dai Li smiled with half-squinted eyes: "The Chairman said that he admires your theoretical analysis articles very much and that the magazine "Fei Gong" is doing well."
"The Chairman is so complimentary." Zhou Hexuan said cheerfully.
"It's just that," Dai Li suddenly changed his tone and said solemnly, "Now the national policy set by the central government is to pacify the interior first before fighting against the outside world. Only by wiping out the internal bandits can China be able to unitely resist aggression.
Faced with the arrogance of the Japanese invaders, now we must endure the humiliation and not overly stimulate Japan."
Zhou Hexuan slapped the armrest of the sofa with a serious face: "The Chairman is really far-sighted and I firmly support his ideas!"
Dai Li finally explained his purpose: "So, the content of Fei Gong magazine needs to be revised. It is okay to discuss and study Japan, but don't mention words like 'militarism' or 'village without girls', let alone
Publish content about Northeast China.”
Zhou Hexuan looked innocent: "But the contents of the magazine are all true, and I didn't write anything random."
Dai Li persuaded with sincerity: "Ming Gong, I admire your patriotism very much. We are all Chinese, who doesn't want to kill the enemy and serve the country? But things have priorities. The most important thing at the moment is to suppress the bandits. The only way is to suppress the bandits.
Only when the red bandits are wiped out will the country be able to deal with the Japanese invaders. We must be patient for the time being, just like King Gou Jian of Yue. A gentleman takes revenge, and it is never too late in ten years."
Zhou Hexuan said: "I understand that I firmly support the central government's suppression of bandits. But anti-Japanese resistance must also be publicized. Otherwise, when the central government has finished suppressing the bandits, the Chinese people will have no will to resist, and everyone will have to be slaves to the subjugation of the country."
"Oh, Ming Gong," Dai Li was obviously impatient, "Why don't you understand? Promoting anti-Japanese resistance now will only completely anger the Japanese invaders. The central government is not ready to resist Japan yet, in case of a large-scale invasion by Japanese invaders
, you will become a sinner of the country and nation!"
Zhou Hexuan patted his chest and said, "Director Dai, don't worry. According to my analysis, it is impossible for the Japanese invaders to organize large-scale military operations before they completely digest the Northeast."
Dai Li said anxiously: "Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens!"
"It's okay. I know the Japanese very well. They won't attack in the short term." Zhou Hexuan said with a smile.
Regarding Zhou Hexuan's way of pretending to be confused, Dai Li was so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood. His patience had been exhausted, and Tu Qiongdagger said: "Ming Gong, let me just talk about it. "Fei Gong" is a book
The magazine should either be more tactful in its content and wording, or it can simply cease publication!"
Zhou Hexuan continued to pretend to be confused and said: "Why should we stop publication? The magazine is doing well. I am also planning to expand the printing volume."
Dai Li gritted his teeth and said: "Mr. Zhou, you are a smart man and you should understand what I mean. If "Fei Gong" is not corrected, no one can predict the consequences, so I will put my words here first!"
"Are you... threatening me?" Zhou Hexuan sneered.
"Whatever you think, I have said everything I need to say. Whether you listen or not depends entirely on Mr. Zhou's wishes." Dai Li was too lazy to talk nonsense to Zhou Hexuan.
Zhou Hexuan put away his smile and said coldly: "Director Dai, if anything happens to "Fei Gong", I will immediately publicly declare my surrender to the Communist Party! Do you believe it or not?"
"You..." Dai Li stood up in shock. He didn't expect Zhou Hexuan to say such words.
Who is Zhou Hexuan?
An internationally renowned scholar, he is a good friend of big figures such as Romain Rolland and Einstein. Even the former British Prime Minister gave him face and was gladly invited to visit China.
Not only is Zhou Hexuan famous abroad, he also has many supporters at home. Not only is he a leader in Chinese literary circles, he also donates more than 100,000 yuan to study abroad and hundreds of thousands of tons of food for disaster relief every year. His reputation is boundless.
If such a person openly declares his support for the Communist Party, he is undoubtedly slapping the Nanjing government in the face, and may even inspire many passionate young people to also vote for the Communist Party.
Moreover, they cannot be killed or captured, just like Mrs. Sun openly supports the Communist Party and has always been against the Nanjing government, but who dares to order the assassination of Mrs. Sun? Once people like Mrs. Sun and Zhou Hexuan are assassinated, they will inevitably cause a sensation at home and abroad.
At that time, there was an immediate explosion of public opinion.
Whether it was Zhou Hexuan who defected to the Communist Party or Zhou Hexuan was assassinated, someone had to be found to take the blame. And the person who took the blame couldn't be a minion, but a spy chief like Dai Li.
Dai Li was sweating continuously in his vest. He could not bear the responsibility of forcing Zhou Hexuan to rebel or to die. By then, his political future would be completely ruined.
"Mr. Ming," Dai Li forced a smile and said softly, "If you have anything to discuss, why bother saying angry words?"
Zhou Hexuan also resigned as soon as he was satisfied. It seemed that no conflict had occurred just now. He smiled and asked: "Director Dai, have you ever heard of sulfa?"
"Sulfonamide?" Dai Li was stunned, nodded and said, "Is it the miracle drug from the UK?"
Zhou Hexuan said: "It's not a miracle drug, it's just a powerful antibacterial drug. Sulfa is not only a special drug for treating pneumonia, meningitis, and leukemia, but also has miraculous effects on the treatment of trauma. For example, when soldiers are injured or undergo surgery,
Taking sulfa can effectively prevent wound infection. After a big battle, it can save the lives of countless soldiers."
Dai Li was confused and said: "I have heard of all this, why did Ming Gong mention sulfa to me?"
Zhou Hexuan smiled and said: "I own the global patent for this sulfonamide. The UK's sulfonamide pharmaceutical factory was established in partnership with Prince Albert of the UK."
"Sulfa drugs are... are they the property of Ming Gong?" Dai Li was shocked.
In the past few months, sulfonamide has become famous all over the world, and everyone knows that it is a miracle drug. However, due to limited production, demand exceeds supply even in Europe, and even those in China cannot buy it if they have money.
Such a miracle drug that is making money every day is actually produced by Zhou Hexuan, and he is also a partner with the British prince!
Dai Li simply couldn't imagine Zhou Hexuan's background and strength abroad. As a partner of a British prince, Dai Li could not easily provoke him.
Zhou Hexuan crossed his legs and said, "Director Dai, are you interested in doing business together?"
"My lord, please speak." Dai Li's tone became more respectful.
Zhou Hexuan held out three fingers: "I can provide a share of sulfa for 300,000 yuan per year and sell it to Director Dai at the ex-factory price. Of course, Director Dai will pay for the freight. What do you think?"
Dai Li swallowed. A drug like sulfonamide, which has a price but no market, can be bought by people on the black market at twice the price. The profit will be endless.
Dai Li was excited, but the great benefits meant great risks. After he took Zhou Hexuan's money, he had to escort Zhou Hexuan. The matter of "Fei Gong" was very tricky.
Zhou Hexuan added: "Director Dai, I heard that the central government is preparing to manufacture new rifles on its own?"
Dai Li said: "I'm not sure."
"Let's see," Zhou Hexuan said confidently, "I am a good friend of President Roosevelt of the United States, and I helped introduce the rifle production line and rifle drawings."
Are good friends with the President of the United States?
Dai Li wanted to vomit blood after hearing this. He looked at Zhou Hexuan in stunned silence and thought: How many good friends do you have?
Zhou Hexuan asked with a smile: "Is Director Dai satisfied with this condition?"
The money earned from the sulfa trade can be put into one's own pocket. And the introduction of American rifle production lines can be appreciated by Chang Kaishen. This is both public and private.
Dai Li immediately patted his chest and said: "Ming Gong, don't worry, Fei Gong is a good magazine that benefits the country and the people. I believe the Chairman will definitely support it!"
