On the fourth day after leaving the White House, Zhou Hexuan returned to New York and was invited to the CBS (CBS) headquarters.
At this time, CBS had not yet been called an eye channel. CBS now had only one enemy, NBC (National Broadcasting Company). The competition between the two broadcasting companies was so fierce that the only difference was that there was no live broadcast.
When Zhou Hexuan arrived at the CBS headquarters, he was met by angry listeners demonstrating because of the radio drama "War of the Worlds".
Nearly a million listeners felt that they had been fooled, and many people joined together to protest at the station's headquarters and sued collectively for $750,000. It was not until a few months later that the U.S. government promulgated a new regulation: prohibiting the broadcast of false news.
Well, before that, American radio stations could broadcast fake news.
Perhaps because they thought the CBS radio drama was awesome, four years later, a radio station in Chile chose to rebroadcast "War of the Worlds" without deliberately reminding them that it was a fictional radio drama. Chilean listeners had the same reaction as American listeners, they were frightened and panicked.
.However, the Chileans were obviously more powerful than the Americans. They burned down the radio station in anger.
"Down with the fraudsters!"
"Compensate for our mental losses."
"An unforgivable fool!"
"..."
Zhou Hexuan looked at these demonstrators and couldn't laugh or cry. The Yankees were really free. They didn't have to worry about the invasion of foreign enemies. The only ones who could scare them were the Martians until the Pearl Harbor incident broke out.
After bypassing the parade and walking into the building, someone immediately came over to greet him: "Hello, Mr. Zhou, I am Cohen from the Information Department!"
"Hello, Ken." Zhou Hexuan shook hands.
Cohen took Zhou Hexuan in the elevator to the lounge next to a broadcast studio, and met Einstein who was reading an adult magazine.
Einstein put down the magazine with the naked beauty on the cover, stood up and said, "We meet again, Zhou. I express my sympathy for the suffering of the Chinese people."
Zhou Hexuan said: "I am also saddened by what happened to the Jews in Germany."
"Thank you." Einstein sighed and sat back on the sofa.
"Kristallnacht" happened the day before Zhou Hexuan met Roosevelt, and appeared in American newspapers on the third day. The New York Times even coined a new English word for it: anti-Semitism.
The death toll in Kristallnacht was less than a hundred people, which was far from comparable to the Nanjing Massacre, but it attracted greater attention in the United States. The U.S. government has even decided to recall its ambassador to Germany, which is close to severing diplomatic relations with Germany.
.
This time CBS invited Zhou Hexuan and Einstein to do a radio program just to discuss "Kristallnacht". The station wanted to use this matter to downplay the negative impact of the radio drama.
As for the adult magazine, it was placed in the lounge by the broadcast company, and Einstein just flipped through it.
Don't think too much...
After a while, the program host came over, took out the program plan and said: "Two gentlemen, this is our program plan. Mr. Zhou is a great historian. Please tell us about the Jewish nation from a historical perspective.
and their contributions to the world. Mr. Einstein, you are a German Jew who immigrated to the United States. Please use your own experience to explain the persecution of Jews by the German Nazis. I will be responsible for guiding the topic at key points. You two only need to
Just express your opinions in your respective areas of expertise.”
The Jewish nation is of course excellent, but from a certain perspective, they are also "hateful". At least when Hitler persecuted the Jews this time, the governments of Britain, France, the United States and other countries were outwardly angry, but in fact they were extremely indifferent to it.
The British and French people who shouted for peace actively advocated aid to China, but they had little sympathy for the suffering German Jews, and some even drank in private to celebrate the Jews' misfortune.
Only the American people are more active. After all, there are many Jewish financial groups in the United States, and they have the ability to stir up public opinion in support of the Jews.
As for the governments of Britain, France, the United States and other countries, haha, they have introduced policies to restrict Jewish immigration. Jews who are rich, talented, or famous can immigrate, and all the others can get out!
Throughout World War II, the number of Jewish refugees who immigrated to Britain, France, and the United States was not as large as the number who fled to Shanghai.
On the contrary, China and Japan are very active in this. China plans to establish a Jewish refugee zone in Yunnan simply because it wants to gain the support of the Jewish consortium. Japan has similar ideas and has also formulated a "Puffer Fish Plan". The Japanese invaders want to establish a Jewish refugee zone in the Northeast.
Set up Jewish refugee resettlement areas and lure Jews to contribute money and resources to Japan's invasion of China.
Japan even hinted that the Jews could establish a country in the Northeast as long as the Jews gave enough money!
However, most Jews were not interested in Japan's plan, and instead actively contacted the Chinese government. Coupled with diplomatic pressure from Germany, Japan finally gave up the "Pufferfish Plan" and turned to treating the Jews harshly, and assassinated many Jewish organizations.
Liaison with the Chinese government.
During World War II, Shanghai was the city with the largest number of Jewish refugees. They lived a difficult life under Japanese rule, but received selfless help from the Chinese people. Therefore, many old Jews had a very good impression of the Chinese, which also laid the foundation for the later friendly diplomacy between China and Israel.
Base.
"Can we talk about politics?" Einstein suddenly said, "I want to ask the U.S. government to launch a Jewish refugee reception plan."
The radio host spread his hands and said: "Of course, you can speak freely, but I can't guarantee how effective it will be."
Zhou Hexuan suggested: "I think Kristallnacht and the Nanjing Massacre can be compared and discussed."
"What is the Nanjing Massacre?" the radio host asked puzzledly.
Zhou Hexuan said: "From December last year to May this year, the Japanese invaders massacred at least 200,000 people in Nanjing, the capital of China. This is only preliminary statistical data. I estimate that the real data may exceed 300,000 people.
"
"What?"
"God!"
Einstein and the host exclaimed at the same time, thinking they had heard wrongly.
Zhou Hexuan said: "I am not slandering Japan out of thin air, because I have a lot of evidence in my hands. I am writing relevant books, and the documentary is also ready to be released, and you can see it in cinemas after Christmas."
"Unbelievable!" Einstein gasped.
Zhou Hexuan took the opportunity to say: "Mr. Einstein, I would like to invite you to write the preface to my new book."
Einstein said: "I need to read your book first."
"Of course." Zhou Hexuan nodded, and then said to the host, "So I want to sublimate the meaning of the program from resisting anti-Semitism alone to resisting persecution and war, and advocating for human and world peace. What do you think?"
The host thought for a while and said: "Very good suggestion."
