The Shanghai Cultural Circle National Salvation Association is a semi-official civil society organization, and its president and four ministers are selected in advance.
Let’s talk about Chairman Pan Gongzhan first. As we mentioned earlier, he is the deputy director of the Propaganda Department of the Central Committee of the Kuomintang.
As early as ten years ago, Pan Gongzhan and Chen Brai met with Chiang Kai-shek at the same time.
As a result, Chen Bulei stayed as a secretary and eventually became Chiang Kai-shek's literary genius. "There is no distinction between north and south, age, young or old. Everyone has the responsibility to defend the land and resist the war."
These two famous sayings of Chiang Kai-shek's "One Hundred Thousand Young People" were both written by Chen Brai.
As for Pan Gongzhan, he was sent back to Shanghai by Chiang Kai-shek, where he worked his way up the ranks by writing flattering articles about the Kuomintang and suppressing anti-Japanese and national salvation activities.
Rumor has it that the situation when the two were interviewed by Chiang Kai-shek was like this
A cold glare flashed in Chang Kaishen's eyes, which scared Pan Gongzhan, who was well-dressed, with his eyes flickering and his behavior stiff. It is said that irregular eyes indicate evil intentions, and Lao Jiang, who believed in fortune-telling, immediately committed a crime, thinking that Pan Gongzhan was not worthy of a big job.
Although Chen Brai had a pouty mouth, fluffy hair, and casual clothes, like a nerd who only immersed himself in writing, he looked calm when facing Chiang Kai-shek's glare, leaving an excellent first impression on Chiang Kai-shek.
Then, Chang Kaishen began to ask questions, asking: "How to deal with the workers' movement in Shanghai?"
Pan Gongzhan responded quickly: "The Commander-in-Chief has a wonderful plan for freedom."
Chang Kaishen is so angry that he wants to hit someone. If I have a clever idea, why would I use you to do it?
Chen Bulei replied: "In my humble opinion, I think we should send reliable troops to surround Shanghai, causing the tiger to emerge from the mountain. Then, use gang forces to lead the charge..."
At this time, Chang Kaishen already had a solid foundation and began to take the written test again. The topic of the written test was "A Letter to Classmates from Huangpu".
Chen Bulei meditated for a moment, wrote quickly, and finished the work in one go. His literary talent was so brilliant that Chang Kaishen praised him.
So Pan Gongzhan got out and returned to Shanghai to become the deputy editor-in-chief of Shenbao.
The reason why Pan Gongzhan became the deputy director of the Propaganda Department of the Central Committee of the Kuomintang was because he stepped on the heads of patriotic literati, workers and students. The most criticized thing was that he suppressed civil anti-Japanese and national salvation activities.
It sounds a little darkly humorous. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, this man wrote a book called "The History of the Chinese Students' National Salvation Movement". Maybe it was because the student national salvation movement was suppressed so much that he had become an expert. If it had been written by someone else, he probably wouldn't have done it.
Pan Gongzhan's writing is so accurate and detailed.
At this moment, Pan Gongzhan, who had suppressed the anti-Japanese and national salvation movement for a long time, was talking about anti-Japanese and national salvation movements as the chairman of the committee, and he was the chairman of the committee when he spoke: "China is a country of etiquette. We will never invade foreign countries, but in the face of aggression from others,
We also never compromise. The chairman of the Generalissimo said it well, if you give up your land and sovereignty, you will be the eternal sinner of the Chinese nation! Brothers, I have made up my mind to sacrifice, and I also hope that all of you compatriots will make up their mind.
People in the cultural circles are determined to sacrifice. The Chairman once said..."
Zhou Hexuan yawned repeatedly. Although it was inappropriate, he really wanted to doze off.
The Shanghai Cultural Circle National Salvation Association only existed for a few months in history. It was disbanded after the fall of Shanghai. However, it has countless positive works. The most important thing is that it created a replica that allowed similar types of national salvation associations to bloom everywhere.
, and achieved a formal unity of anti-Japanese thought.
Speaking of the fall of Shanghai, Chiang Kai-shek is now convening forces across the country to prepare for a national defense conference, where he will formulate an anti-Japanese strategy.
According to the established plan of the Japanese military, it was actually to invade China from north to south. However, Chiang Kai-shek took the initiative to provoke a war in Shanghai, forcing Japan to change its "north to south" strategy to an "east to west" strategy.
Decisions require great courage.
Lao Jiang had three purposes for doing this:
The first is tactical. North China has a smooth road, while South China has complex terrain. Fighting in the south is conducive to China's strengths and weaknesses.
The second is strategically speaking. If China and Japan go to full-scale war, the Soviet Union will become China's natural ally. If Japan is allowed to completely occupy the north, the Soviet Union's assistance to China will be cut off.
The third is diplomatic. Shanghai is related to the interests of all the great powers. Once the Japanese army attacks Shanghai, Japan will inevitably be isolated internationally.
It has to be said that Chang Kaishen's strategy of taking the initiative to start a war in Shanghai is extremely clever. Unfortunately, there are so many loopholes in the specific battle that it is impossible to see the details...
"Pap-pap-pap-pap!"
I don't know when Pan Gongzhan's speech had ended. Before he stepped down, he said: "Now, I would like to invite the honorary vice president, Mr. Zhou Hexuan, to speak!"
There was another burst of applause. Zhou Hexuan walked to the rostrum, looked at the more than 500 participants below, and said in a heavy tone: "Before going out, I just received news that General Tong Linge, deputy commander of the 29th Army,
General Zhao Dengyu, commander of the 132nd Division of the 19th Army, has died. Nanyuan has been lost, and Peiping is about to fall..."
"boom!"
The whole place was in an uproar, and everyone was shocked.
Zhou Hexuan continued: "During the battle to defend Nanyuan, Ta Kung Pao dispatched two field reporters. One of them was killed, and the other was injured and sent detailed reports. During the battle, our soldiers fought bravely against the enemy and gave the Japanese
The Japanese invaders caused heavy casualties. The Japanese invaders had to use aircraft to carry out repeated bombing and strafing of our military positions to open up the situation. Especially the student corps of the 29th Army, which had only been trained for half a year and formally enlisted for half a month.
For the first time, they became the main target of the Japanese invaders. These student soldiers fought bravely and fought to the death, repelling enemy attacks several times. During the Nanyuan Defense Battle, our army had a total of more than 7,000 people. The number of casualties has not yet been released, but it is at least more than 5,000.
.They are all good. Facing the ferocious Japanese invaders, they did not cowardly run away, but defended the country with their flesh and blood. Now, let us pay tribute to the two generals, all the sacrificed soldiers, and the sacrificed
Reporters, three minutes of silence!"
No one objected and no one spoke.
Everyone sat quietly, thinking a lot and feeling silently.
About three minutes later, Zhou Hexuan said: "I have shouted the anti-war slogan enough times over the years. Now there are only four words left, that is, China must win! Six years ago, I said this, and I still do it now.
It is said that China will win and Japan will lose. The premise is that we must rise up to resist. We have 40 million compatriots! Even 40 million pigs roaring and charging at the Japanese are enough to kill the Japanese. Those theories of surrender
Those who are pacifists, please shut up! War, only war, can make China stand up, instead of being servile under the rule of the Japanese like North Korea! Get up, people who don’t want to be slaves, let us
Our new Great Wall has been built with their flesh and blood! The Chinese nation has arrived at its most dangerous time..."
Zhou Hexuan sang "March of the Volunteers" loudly, and more than 500 people in the audience gradually sang along, and the singing became a torrent that echoed in the venue.
Commentators and commentators who had the same thoughts as Hu Shi had uncertain expressions at the moment. They were ashamed and angry.
