Chen Cheng's face immediately fell. Why do I always say it first?
But when Chairman Jiang called his name, he had to say, who made Chen Cheng the junior chairman of the committee?
Chen Cheng thought for a moment and said cautiously: "As for the public auction of Baotou Tea Trading Company's shares, I believe that the commission's instructions are very correct, and it is completely necessary to stop it. The party and the country are currently in a difficult time, and the auction of Baotou Tea
Such a huge income from trading company shares should of course be returned to the national treasury!"
Chen Cheng seemed to have talked a lot, but in fact he said nothing.
"That's not what I want to ask you." Chairman Chiang picked up the civilization stick and hit the floor angrily, and then said, "What I want to ask you is how to deal with the international public opinion that is about to ferment!"
Bai Chongxi and He Yingqin's faces immediately showed signs of gloating, asking you to talk nonsense.
Seeing the gloating look on the faces of He and Bai, Chen Cheng became angry and immediately said to Chairman Chiang: "Commissioner, in terms of how to deal with international public opinion, brother Jing is the most experienced."
Chairman Jiang nodded and his eyes immediately turned to He Yingqin's face.
He Yingqin scolded Chen Cheng's eighteen generations of ancestors in his heart, but he still had to put on a smile on his face, waved his hands and said, "Brother Cixiu, thank you for your praise. I don't know how to handle international public opinion."
Chen Cheng said: "Brother Jing, please stop being modest."
Chairman Chiang also said: "With respect, just tell me."
He Yingqin saw that he couldn't escape, so he could only bite the bullet and said: "Commissioner, the Communist Party is nothing, and those democratic parties can't make a difference. However, the media reporters from Western countries, especially the United States and the United Kingdom, stationed in Chongqing, the party-state has
We cannot ignore it, because their opinions can directly affect the China policies of the US and British governments."
"This is what I am most worried about." Chairman Chiang sighed. "The American and British governments do not understand the actual situation in China, so they are easily misled by media reporters. Once the two governments are preconceived,
It would be very difficult to cut off aid to the National Government."
Therefore, Chairman Chiang is not strong enough from the ground up.
Chairman Chiang has never thought about developing on his own, but has always thought about relying on the help of others. Therefore, once the foreigners want to stop their help, he will immediately feel that the sky is falling, and he will be in panic all day long.
In comparison, the new China built by Chairman Mao is much tougher.
The Soviet government is willing to help, and we welcome it with both hands. The Soviets proposed to station troops in China and used it as a threat, but China decisively refused, even though the Soviets withdrew all their experts, suspended all aid, and forced all loans to be repaid.
, and cannot force New China to make any concessions!
Chen Cheng said: "Commissioner, can you convene Western media reporters to hold a press conference? If we can win the understanding of these media reporters and let them know the difficulties of the National Government, they may change their minds and stop talking about the Baotou tea trade.
The company's share bidding has given Western governments influence."
"It's better to avoid this." Bai Chongxi said suddenly, "Such a press conference has never been held before, so what is the final result? When it comes to crying for the poor, when it comes to winning public sympathy, we are not the opponent of the Communist Party at all.
Therefore, there is no need to hold press releases or anything like that, it is just a waste of time."
Actually, Bai Chongxi still had a hidden meaning that he didn't say out loud.
What is really great about the Communist Party is not that they really know how to cry for poverty or use the weapon of public opinion, but that they are very strong! From the top leaders of the party, government and military in Yan'an to every soldier on the front line, the Communist Party is all honest and self-disciplined, self-denying and dedicated to the public.
Zhu Mao also lived a simple life.
Then looking at the Kuomintang, there is simply nothing to say.
Let’s just talk about the officials in Chongqing. Not to mention that they live a simple life. Many officials live a life of drunkenness and dreams. They are even more luxurious than when they were in Nanjing before.
Entering Chongqing, I felt like I had a great time before the country was destroyed, and it was like a broken jar.
Therefore, those Western media reporters will agree that the Kuomintang is evil.
The faces of several staff members and senior officials present immediately fell. Although Bai Chongxi did not say it clearly, how could he not tell that these people were all human beings? At that moment, their expressions all became unnatural, because they were in Chongqing.
I also lived a life of luxury and extravagance. Among other things, I had to attend dances basically every day.
Then there was no way to have a pleasant chat anymore, because Bai Chongxi had already killed the topic.
Chairman Chiang also had no choice but to realize once again that once foreigners were involved, no matter how many staff and senior officials were summoned and how many staff meetings were held, nothing could be resolved. At the moment, he could only announce the adjournment of the meeting, but leave Kong Xiangxi behind, and then let the guards
The elder Wang Shihe went to Sun's mansion to invite Mrs. Sun to a family banquet.
There was really no other way. Chairman Chiang could only try to play the family card.
…
In Baotou, the headquarters of the Chahar Independent Regiment.
Wang Husheng hurriedly came over to Xu Rui with a telegram and said: "Old Xu, the bonus of Miller Review has been printed. The editor-in-chief of the newspaper, Mr. Powell, wrote a commentator article, talking about us.
Regarding the public bidding for the shares of Baotou Tea Trading Company, this is a briefing just forwarded by the Eighth Route Army Office in Chongqing."
Xu Rui took the telegram. Due to the limited space, only a few paragraphs of Powell's article were copied on the telegram. However, it can be seen that this is a good article and the words are very lethal, especially in the article he made fun of the extravagance of senior officials of the Kuomintang.
, compared with the integrity of the Communists, it leaves a very deep impression on people.
However, after being happy, Wang Husheng was still a little worried.
Wang Husheng added: "Miss Smedley has tried her best, and Mrs. Sun has also tried her best. Otherwise, these Western media would not have published such commentaries. But, do you think these articles can determine the outcome of Western countries?"
, especially the governments of the United States and Britain? National policies of one country are not child’s play.”
Xu Rui shook his head and said: "Of course the national policies of the United States and Britain cannot be determined by these media articles alone."
"Then what should we do?" Wang Husheng immediately became nervous after hearing this, "Then our hard work has been in vain? And Miss Smedley and Mrs. Sun, haven't our hard work been in vain?"
Western media do have a certain influence in China. Basically, as long as you have a foreign face and are a reporter, you can become a guest of a senior official of the party and state. However, to say how influential these reporters can be, to say how powerful the party and state is,
It’s not necessary to be afraid of them. What the party-state is really afraid of is the Western governments behind these Western journalists!
However, after all, Western governments are not equal to Western media!
That's why Wang Husheng is worried that the Western media cannot determine the government's strategy, and in the end, their work will be in vain.
Xu Rui said calmly: "These Western media certainly cannot determine the government's strategy, but they still have some influence. At least, they can help us and convey our demands to Western governments."
"But will this be useful?" Wang Husheng asked, "Will Western governments care about our life and death?"
Xu Rui said: "If there is not enough reason, Western governments will definitely not care about our life and death, but if there is enough reason, then it is a different matter."
"The reason for football?" Wang Husheng asked, "What reason?"
Xu Rui said: "For example, interests!" After a pause, Xu Rui said again, "Let me tell you this, there has never been eternal friendship between countries, there has always been only eternal interests! As long as there is profit driven
, Western governments have enough motivation to help us."
Wang Husheng said: "But the question is, if Western governments help us, what benefits will they gain?"
"There are many benefits to be gained," Xu Rui said, "First of all, give the National Government and Chairman Chiang Kai-shek a warning to let them know that they are not the only partners of the West in China. If the National Government cannot improve corruption, Western governments will
We may abandon them at any time and cooperate with our party instead."
Wang Husheng hummed and said, "Is there anything else?"
"Of course." Xu Rui smiled slightly and added, "Warning the National Government and Chairman Chiang is just incidental. The major benefits that Western governments, especially the U.S. government, can get from it are the huge profits from the arms trade!"
"Arms trade?" Wang Husheng asked, "Hasn't the U.S. government already blacklisted us and will no longer sell weapons to us?"
"Us?" Xu Rui laughed and said, "Old Wang, what are you thinking? We only weigh a few pounds, and the U.S. government will care about our little money? What they want to make is Japanese money!"
After a pause, Xu Rui added: "The Americans are very aware of how difficult it is for the Soviet Far East Front. If they don't help the Soviet Union at this time, the Japanese can quickly occupy the Far East and then dominate Asia. This is inconsistent with
The Americans’ Asia policy is also inconsistent with the interests of the U.S. arms giants, because after Japan dominates Asia, its dependence on the United States has weakened."
Wang Husheng suddenly said: "In other words, interests are the most important thing. Only by helping us can the United States indirectly help the Soviet Union, allowing the Japanese and Soviets to continue fighting in the Far East, and the Americans can sell arms to both sides and make a big profit."
War treasure, is that it?”
"That's right." Xu Rui said, "During the World War, the Americans did this. They also relied on selling arms from both sides to achieve today's industrial strength and international status."
In fact, Xu Rui also knew that the Americans really made their war fortune during World War II, but this cannot be said yet, after all, World War II had just begun.
"Americans, oh no, they are Westerners. They are so insidious and evil!" Wang Husheng said, "However, in this case, it is highly likely that the U.S. government will put pressure on Chiang Kai-shek."
