Zhou Hexuan took out a check, handed it to the Pulitzer brothers and said, "Two priests, please accept it."
Stimson accidentally saw the amount of the check. Although US$500,000 was a huge amount of money, he was not particularly moved by it. Stimson was not short of money. Although he did not have a particularly large family fortune, the funds he could mobilize were absolutely overwhelming.
Zhou Hexuan.
As we have introduced before, Stimson was the former Secretary of State of the United States and would become the Secretary of War in the future. He supervised the development of the atomic bomb, led the nuclear strike against Japan, and recommended the retention of the emperor system after the war.
These are Stimson's superficial duties and achievements, but secretly, he is also a member of the Dark Knight American Skull and Bones Society.
If William Taft ushered Skull and Bones into the first golden age, then Stimson was the consolidater and executor of the first golden age. This guy not only served as the U.S. Secretary of War, Governor of the Philippines, Secretary of State and Secretary of War, but also
He has served as a personal advisor to seven U.S. presidents and can be called a political roly-poly.
Under Stimson's hands, the United States officially entered the dualistic social structure of politics and business, and the major Skull and Bones families were truly integrated and strengthened in the fields of railroads, arms, and finance.
Okay, let’s just think that these are street stall literature. Who asked this book to be called “The Rise of Street Stalls in the Republic of China”.
As for our great President Roosevelt, in street stall literature, it seems that he is not the same person as Stimson, because Roosevelt was a member of the Freemason.
It is difficult to distinguish the authenticity of Skull and Bones and Freemasonry. Those street stall contents are not only circulated in China, but also many people in Europe and the United States choose to believe it. Because Skull and Bones and Freemasonry do exist, but many of their deeds have been exaggerated and there are some conspiracies.
Commentators have even attributed the Pearl Harbor incident, Watergate incident, September 9 Incident, etc. to these two organizations.
The Freemasonry is actually very close to us, especially friends who live in Shanghai, you can go to the Shanghai Medical Association in Jing'an Temple to have a look.
There is a beige building in Western classical style. The wall is decorated with six-pointed stars and compass and square signs. On the east side of the building, under the first-floor window, there is an inscription from the time when the house was built. In the center of the sixth line from the last, "freeasnry" is engraved, which literally means "
"Free Craftsman", the English translation is "Freemasonry".
Old Shanghainese called this building the "Rule Hall", which was the fourth headquarters building of the Freemasonry in Shanghai. The third headquarters building was built on the Bund and sold to the Nippon Yusen Kaisha in 1930.
Due to Zhou Hexuan's relationship, not only the Shanghai Freemasonry Headquarters is being targeted, but even the Hong Kong Freemasonry is being monitored by Japanese spies. In fact, the Freemasonry does not do much in Asia, it is a bit similar to a higher-end fraternity club.
, and it only recruits foreign members and ignores Asians at all.
In later generations, the "Chinese Meisheng Society" spread across the Taiwan Strait and three places. Some people say that it was the Chinese branch of Freemasonry. Sun Yat-sen and Chang Kaishen were both members of Freemasonry.
In fact, if you think carefully, you can find that it is just a beautiful misunderstanding.
The "Chinese Masonic Association" or "Chinese Freemasonry" is exactly what Hongmen is! It's just that Hongmen borrowed the "circle, rule and ruler" logo from the Freemasonry, and also used the English name of the Freemasonry.
In the past, the Chinese Beauty Society (Hongmen) was called ChineseFreeAsns, while the Freemasonry was called FreeAsnry.
This misunderstanding should be deliberately caused by the Hongmen bosses. Because the Chinese have a very low status in the United States, and the Freemasons seem to be very powerful, they directly changed the English name of Hongmen to "Chinese Freemasonry" (
"Meisheng" is the transliteration of "free craftsman").
Therefore, Sun Yat-sen and Chang Kaishen were not members of the Freemasonry, but members of the Hongmen, but the English name of Hongmen was the Chinese Freemasonry.
At first, Zhou Hexuan and Chang Kaishen were talking nonsense and blowing up the Freemasonry. Because the two of them spoke in Chinese, Chiang Kai-shek didn't react at all. Afterwards, they sent someone to investigate and found out that the English name of Hongmen was "Chinese Freemasonry".
Society", so I felt even more superior to the original version of Freemasonry.
Chinese Freemasonry and Freemasonry have the same logo and similar names. In fact, they are incompatible with each other. They are similar to the relationship between "big walnut" and "six walnuts".
In the future, if readers see anyone using the Chinese Freemasonry or the Chinese Masonic Association as a pretense, then give him a slap in the face. After all, "The Rise of the Stalls of the Republic of China" also has the nature of popularizing science.
No more gossip...
Although Stimson didn't care about the $500,000 check, the Pulitzer brothers were shocked.
Henry Pulitz said: "This is too much money. Please take it back, Mr. Zhou. The association we established is the American Aid to China Association, which only accepts donations from Americans."
"No," Zhou Hexuan stuffed the check into the other person's hand and said, "Mr. Pulitzer, there are still many Chinese people in difficult situations in the occupied areas of China. They were arbitrarily robbed of property by the Japanese army, and many families were looted. I hope you,
The organization can contact missionaries in China and use the money to support Chinese people living in poverty."
Frank Pulitzer asked: "Why not let the Chinese come to the rescue?"
Zhou Hexuan explained: "It is safer to receive assistance from Westerners, and Japan does not dare to break up with European and American powers for the time being."
"Okay, let's accept it," Henry Pulitzer promised, "I will use every cent of Mr. Zhou's donation for the Chinese people."
Zhou Hexuan asked again: "Two priests, how many people do you think the Japanese army killed in Nanjing?"
Frank thought for a while and said: "It is now recognized that there are tens of thousands of victims, but based on my personal experience, I estimate that there are at least 50,000. Because the international safe zone has accepted nearly 300,000 refugees, but when we left China, it was safe
There are only 250,000 registered refugees left in the district."
"I estimate that the number of victims in Nanjing is at least 300,000, and close to 400,000." Zhou Hexuan said solemnly.
"How can it be!"
The three Americans exclaimed in unison.
Stimson was stunned and said: "The Japanese army killed more than 300,000 people in Nanjing. Are they devils?"
Frank shook his head and said: "When the Japanese army attacked Nanjing, there were more than 500,000 civilians in Nanjing. Adding in the nearly 100,000 defeated troops, the total number of Chinese in Nanjing was only over 00,000. The international safe zone also protected 250,000 refugees.
, if the Japanese army massacred more than 300,000 people, did they kill the entire city of Nanjing?"
Zhou Hexuan nodded and said: "It's very possible. I heard from survivors that outside the international safe zone, there are almost no living people in Nanjing."
"Oh, God!" Stimson couldn't believe it.
Henry asked: "Mr. Zhou, does he have any conclusive evidence?"
Zhou Hexuan shook his head and said: "I have a lot of first-hand information, but there is no more evidence. I have contacted Mr. Rabe, and he is coming to the United States by boat. He has more evidence."
"Is it the German John Rabe?" Frank asked.
"That's him." Zhou Hexuan said.
Frank said: "Mr. Rabe is indeed an upright man, and it would be hard to meet him again."
John Rabe is the author of "Rabe's Diary". Although this man was a member of the Nazi Party, he did not do any bad things. Not only that, he used his status as a member of the Nazi Party to fend off countless difficulties from the Japanese army. He was a member of the Nanjing International
The chairman of the safety zone used his private residence to protect more than 100 refugees, and the safety zone he established with his friends saved the lives of 250,000 Chinese people.
Once, the Japanese soldiers climbed over the wall and entered the safe zone. Rabe rushed to stop the atrocities. After learning that Rabe was a German Nazi, the Japanese soldiers quickly apologized and prepared to leave through the gate. Rabe angrily ordered the Japanese soldiers to climb over the wall again.
It probably meant that you should leave wherever you came from, and the brutal Japanese soldiers actually did so.
Just a few days ago, Rabe returned to Germany and wrote a letter to Hitler detailing the atrocities committed by the Japanese army in Nanjing.
Hitler denounced Japan as a barbaric nation and believed that its massacre methods were uncivilized and that the art of massacre should be bloodless. He then ordered the Gestapo to closely monitor Rabe's whereabouts.
As the chairman of the Nanjing International Security Zone, Rabe's address in Germany was easy to find. So Zhou Hexuan sent a telegram to Rabe, saying that he would publish Rabe's Nanjing diary in the United States. Rabe immediately agreed and took his family to sit down
The ship is bound for the United States.
The same witness is Ms. Vautrin. Her diary was serialized in the American magazine "Classmate", but the contents were all related to Jinling Women's University. As the person in charge of the safety zone of Jinling Women's University, Vautrin only accommodated Chinese women.
This became the key to attracting Japanese soldiers. Japanese soldiers often broke into the school to snatch women.
Later, Vautrin could only guard the school gate by herself to prevent the Japanese invaders from showing their bestiality. However, the Japanese invaders always surrounded and controlled her with a few people, and then sent people into the school to snatch women, leaving Vautrin unable to do anything.
The soul feels tortured.
Vautrin is still in China, but she has mental problems and will commit suicide in two years. The tombstone in her hometown is engraved with the four Chinese characters Jinling Eternal Life.
Also committing suicide more than half a century later was Zhang Chunru. She had been studying the historical materials of the Nanjing Massacre for a long time, and her works attracted Western society's attention to the Nanjing Massacre. However, she herself had been mentally tortured and threatened by Japanese right-wingers for a long time, and finally died in
In depression, he swallowed a gun and committed suicide.
"Rabe's Diary" recorded more than 500 cases of massacres, and "Vautrin's Diary" also recorded many cases of rape, kidnapping and killing of women. Not only did Zhou Hexuan want to publish these two diaries, he also wanted to use a large amount of first-hand information to
Write a book about the Nanjing Massacre and publish it in the United States and Europe.
We cannot wait until the end of the 20th century for Zhang Chunru, a weak woman, to expose the Nanjing Massacre in agony and then commit suicide in depression after receiving the attention of European and American society.
Some things must be remembered by the world, and the sooner the better, and the longer the better.
Zhou Hexuan cannot be a protector, but he can be an exposer.
"Two priests, and Mr. Stimson, I am going to write a book to expose the Nanjing Massacre. Please help me to prevent the bloody and cruel facts from being covered up and forgotten." Zhou Hexuan suddenly bowed.
"We will, don't worry." The Pulitzer brothers immediately assured.
Stimson also promised: "I will ensure that the book is published smoothly."
Stimson's promise is what Zhou Hexuan really wants. Because in the political atmosphere of isolationism prevailing in the United States at this time, even the impact of the Japanese bombing of American warships was deliberately deleted before being released to the public, not to mention the information about Nanjing.
Holocaust book.
Stimson has served six U.S. presidents, and he has great influence in American politics. What's even more rare is that the Whitney family, who joined Skull and Bones, also sided with Stimson and eagerly hoped that the United States would join the war as soon as possible. The Whitney family wanted to launch a war.
The war fortune was spent selling arms.
With Stimson's help, the smooth publication of Holocaust books can be ensured.
