In the auditorium of the Executive Yuan, many people have come, and a banner is hanging behind the rostrum, which reads: Commendation Ceremony for Nobel Prize Scholar Mr. Zhou Hexuan and the Awarding Ceremony for the First Class Qingyun Medal.
Reporters from the Central News Agency and the Kuomintang newspapers had arrived early to wait, and took pictures as soon as any high-ranking official or celebrity came in.
Father and daughter Zhang Mouzhi and Zhang Manyi could only sit relatively far back. Old man Zhang happily greeted people everywhere, taking the opportunity to build relationships and expand his social network.
Zhang Leyi was sitting next to her husband, wearing a moon-white silk cheongsam, with her hair pulled high, looking elegant, dignified and beautiful.
It didn't take long for people to come to congratulate him one after another, ranging from academics to politicians.
Cai Yuanpei walked slowly over and said with a smile: "Congratulations Mingcheng."
"It's Mr. Jiemin who just received a medal. How dare you come to Nanjing?" Zhou Hexuan stood up and shook hands.
"There's more than one medal, that's the Nobel Prize," Cai Yuanpei held Zhou Hexuan's hand and said with a smile, "Last year I read the news in the newspaper and was so happy that I even ate two more bowls of rice. What's more,
, Mingcheng, you also invited Mr. and Mrs. Curie to China for academic exchange, I must thank you on behalf of Academia Sinica!"
Cai Yuanpei was no longer an official at this time, because he always got together with democrats, which made Chairman Chiang very dissatisfied. Cai Yuanpei settled in Shanghai, and this time he came by train specifically to attend Zhou Hexuan's investiture ceremony.
When the two were talking, Feng Yuxiang burst into laughter and said, "Hahaha, brother Zhou, long time no see!"
"How are you, General Feng?" Zhou Hexuan greeted.
Feng Yuxiang waved his hand and said: "I don't have soldiers or generals under my command, so I don't dare to be a general. You can just call me Lao Feng."
Zhou Hexuan teased: "Then I'll just call you Chairman Feng."
A strange smile appeared on Feng Yuxiang's face, and he pointed to the north and said, "If you dare to shout, I will dare to agree, just because I am afraid that he will make someone jealous."
"Haha, General Feng is so funny." Zhou Hexuan laughed dryly.
Feng Yuxiang is now a veritable commander-in-chief. Although he has no soldiers and no power, his position is frighteningly high. He is the vice chairman of the Nanjing Military Commission, and his status in the military circle is superficially second only to Chairman Chang Kaishen.
Nowadays, what Feng Yuxiang likes to do the most is to make a splash to increase his presence. Whenever something weird happens in the country, he will stand up and yell. For example, when Shi Jianqiao assassinated Sun Chuanfang, Feng Yuxiang asked for amnesty; for example, Zhang Taiyan died due to illness.
After his death, Feng Yuxiang signed the application for a state funeral.
Today, Chiang Kai-shek was going to award a medal to Zhou Hexuan, and Feng Yuxiang came rushing to show his face. This medal-changing general has a high appearance rate.
"Click, click!"
The flashing spotlights in the press box can blind a dog's eyes.
The person who came was Dai Jitao, the dean of the examination. He was wearing a long gown. He nodded to Feng Yuxiang and Cai Yuanpei, then shook hands with Zhou Hexuan and said, "Mingcheng, thank you for your hard work."
"No hard work," Zhou Hexuan greeted, "Hello, Dean Dai."
"I'm talking about the Olympics. Thank you for your hard work," Dai Jitao said. "I'm going to Germany tomorrow to participate in the Berlin Olympics. How about we go together?"
Zhou Hexuan said: "I may have to wait a few more days."
In the history of the Berlin Olympics, the real leader of the Chinese delegation was Dai Jitao. Unfortunately, this gentleman was empty-handed and could not make any money, so that the Chinese team did not even have clothes for the opening ceremony. They could only ask for help when meeting Hitler and let the organizers
Solving the Chinese team's clothing problem is really embarrassing.
Moreover, when Dai Jitao discovered that the Chinese team's performance was poor, he abandoned the athletes and traveled to Europe for five months before returning home.
When Feng Yuxiang saw Dai Jitao coming, he really couldn't find a common language, so he immediately ran away and sat down. Cai Yuanpei also left with fists in his hands.
Dai Jitao sat down next to him and said: "I read Mingcheng's article discussing war and problems, and it was very good. Alas, if you fall behind, you will be beaten. The only way left is to rise up and resist."
"Then please ask Dean Dai to stop advocating peace. There is no peaceful option between China and Japan." Zhou Hexuan said.
"Maybe." Dai Jitao was a little frustrated.
Dai Jitao has always been a die-hard "peace advocate", but his recent thoughts are changing to a "war advocate". Historically, when Dai Jitao returned from traveling in Europe, he immediately stated his new position.
It was a high-level government meeting at the end of the year. When Dai Jitao was adjourning the meeting, he suddenly knelt down and kowtowed to other participants and said: "I believe in Buddhism. The Living Buddha is in Lhasa. There are three ways to go to Lhasa to worship Buddha. One is from Xikang via Qamdo.
, and the second is... People who sincerely worship Buddha should take all three roads. If one road doesn't work, go to the other. There is always one road that will work. Don't just take one road."
After saying that, Dai Jitao kowtowed to everyone again and then left the table.
The meaning of these words is that both war and peace are for the country, and patriots should take both paths. His choice is to try to fight for peace while actively preparing for war and resistance, so that everyone can give up the fight for war and peace.
Work together.
When they evacuated Nanjing later, the Kuomintang was filled with theories of national subjugation. In order to inspire people's confidence, Dai Jitao took nothing with him except his bedclothes and left all his valuables at his home in Nanjing. He told everyone: "I can't leave Nanjing for ten or eight years at most."
, will definitely return.”
This is a strange old man, sinister and casual, mean and generous. It's hard to tell which one is the real him.
But one thing is certain, Dai Jitao was Chang Kaishen's number one think tank, and he helped Chiang Kai-shek solve many political problems. Without Dai Jitao's assistance, Chiang Kai-shek would have been lame and it would be difficult for him to sit as the head of state.
Chiang Kai-shek's trust and respect for Dai Jitao was unique within the Kuomintang.
Within the entire Kuomintang, only Dai Jitao could shout "Go away" to Soong Meiling in person because he didn't like Soong Meiling's behavior and dress.
Suddenly, Gendarmerie Commander Gu Zhenglun personally led Kong Lingkan into the auditorium.
Kong Lingkan glanced at the seat nameplates in the first row and said dissatisfied: "Why is there no seat for me?"
Gu Zhenglun coaxed a child and said with a coaxing smile: "Master Kong's dragon has not yet come to an end. Who knew you would come today? Don't worry, I will ask someone to arrange adjustments right away."
"I will take care of this myself!" Weng Wenhao suddenly came over and said.
As the saying goes, once an emperor is one minister, after Wang Zhaoming was assassinated and raped, his confidants also adjusted and demoted their posts.
Chu Minyi, Wang Zhaoming's number one confidant at the time, did not have a bachelor's degree. He wore a coat on the street and drove a car to pursue Yang Xiuqiong, a mermaid from South China. Now he has also lost his position as Secretary-General of the Executive Yuan, and his successor is Weng Wenhao, who is equivalent to the second-ranking official in the government affairs system of the Republic of China at this time.
The leader (the leader is Lao Chiang).
Weng Wenhao called a staff member and asked him to replace the nameplate of a certain director in the second row. He smiled and said to Kong Lingkan: "Secretary Kong, go and sit there."
"Why should I be in the second row?"
Kong Lingkan was very unhappy. He looked at the nameplates next to Zhou Hexuan and Zhang Leyi. The name on the left was Zhang Qun, but Dai Jitao was sitting there, and Kong Lingkan didn't dare to make a mistake. The name on the right was Yu Youren, and this damn old man is not good either.
Well, Kong Lingkan felt a little headache.
Looking further to the right, there was a nameplate not far away with the words "Xue Dubi" written on it. Kong Lingkan's eyes lit up, well, he could step on this person.
Kong Lingkan directly threw Xue Dubi's nameplate on the ground, then moved the nameplates of Yu Youren and others one by one, and sat down next to Zhang Leyi with a smile.
Weng Wenhao quickly stopped him: "Secretary Kong, this is against the rules. You are the special secretary of the Ministry of Finance. You should not be sitting here because of your emotions and reasons."
Kong Lingkan pointed at Zhang Leyi and said: "She is a female prostitute with no power or position. Why is she sitting here?"
Weng Wenhao explained: "Today is a ceremony to honor Mr. Zhou, and Mrs. Zhou is also an important guest, so naturally she must be placed in a more important position."
"I don't care, you can figure it out yourself," Kong Lingkan said, leaning towards Zhang Leyi and teasingly said, "Mrs. Zhou, I went back last night to inquire about it and found that you also studied at a foreign middle school in Shanghai. It just so happens that I also
I have been studying there and often go to your alma mater. How about we go there another day and relive our middle school days?"
Zhang Leyi pulled out her chair, frowned and glared: "Mr. Kong, please respect yourself!"
"Hey, I just like the way you look when you're angry." Kong Lingkan said with a mean smile.
Zhou Hexuan pulled Zhang Leyi to his seat and sat down next to Kong Lingkan with his legs crossed. He sneered and said, "Master Kong, are you interested in communicating with me?"
"I'm not interested in men." Kong Lingkan said angrily.
Zhou Hexuan was not angry. He clapped his fingers and said, "Let me do the math. Feng Yong and I are brothers, Feng Yong and Zhang Xueliang are brothers, and Zhang Xueliang and your uncle are brothers. In terms of seniority, I should do the same.
He is your uncle. Now that you call yourself me, do you want to discuss friendship with your uncle, Chairman Chiang?"
Kong Lingkan said without hesitation: "My uncle had a lot of bastard brothers, and a lot of them died. Just a crooked uncle like you, I can kick ten of them to death!"
"Yes," Zhou Hexuan suddenly raised his head and said to Dai Jitao, "Dean Dai, your brother's martial arts is so good, he said he could kick you to death."
As luck would have it, Dai Jitao was Chang Kaishen's close brother, and Kong Lingkan just scolded Dai Jitao as well.
Dai Jitao was furious. He even dared to scold Soong Meiling, let alone Soong Meiling's nephew. Dean Dai picked up a walking stick and used it as a javelin to throw it, and shouted: "You little bastard, get out of here!"
"Ouch!"
Kong Lingkan screamed in pain, but Dean Dai's javelin skills were good, and the cane hit Kong Lingkan's forehead, instantly causing a huge swelling.
Normally, Kong Lingkan would not dare to contradict Dai Jitao. But now he was beaten so hard that his eyes were filled with stars, his brain was dizzy, and he felt embarrassed in public. He immediately slapped the table and shouted: "Old guy, you are looking for death!"
"Who are you calling an old guy? Ah!" Dai Jitao was so angry that he blew his beard and stared.
"I'm just scolding you!" Kong Lingkan showed no sign of weakness.
Zhou Hexuan sat in the middle and smiled without saying a word, waiting to continue watching the show.
As a cultured person, it is unsightly to do it yourself. It is best to have someone help you.
