Chapter 823 822 [Get up, People Who Don’t Want to Be Slaves]

The Shanghai Cultural World Salvation Association is a semi-official non-governmental organization, and its president and four ministers are all selected in advance.

First, let’s talk about the chairman, Pan Gongzhan. As we mentioned earlier, he is the deputy director of the Central Propaganda Department of the Kuomintang.

As early as ten years ago, Pan Gongzhan and Chen Bulei met Lao Jiang at the same time.

As a result, Chen Bulei stayed as a secretary and eventually became Lao Jiang's literary courage. "There is no distinction between the north and the south, and no distinction between the old and the young. No matter who you are, everyone has the responsibility to defend the land and fight against the war." Skillful.

As for Pan Gongzhan, he was sent back to Shanghai by Lao Jiang, and was promoted step by step by writing flattering articles of the Kuomintang and suppressing anti-Japanese and national salvation activities.

According to rumors, the situation when the two were interviewed by Lao Jiang was like this——

A cold look flashed in Chang Kaishen's eyes, which frightened the well-dressed Pan Gongzhan, whose eyes flickered and his demeanor stiffened. The so-called irregular eyes and evil intentions, Lao Jiang, who believed in physiognomy, immediately felt disgusted, thinking that Pan Gongzhan was a difficult person to take on a big responsibility.

Although Chen Bulei had puckered lips, fluffy hair, and casual attire, like a nerd who could only bury his head in fuss, he had a calm expression when facing Lao Jiang's stare, leaving an excellent first impression on Lao Jiang.

Then, Chang Kaishen began to ask questions, asking: "How to deal with the labor movement in Shanghai?"

Pan Gongzhan quickly replied: "The commander-in-chief has his own clever strategy."

Chang Kaishen was so angry that he wanted to hit someone, if I have a clever plan, why would I use you!

Chen Bulei replied: "In my humble opinion, whether we should send reliable troops to surround Shanghai, causing the tigers to come out of the mountains. After that, use gang forces to lead the battle..."

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 "Letter to Huangpu Classmates".

Chen Bulei meditated for a moment, and wrote vigorously, writing in one go, with brilliant writing skills, which was praised by Chang Kaishen.

So Pan Gongzhan left and returned to Shanghai to become the deputy editor-in-chief of Shenbao.

The reason why Pan Gongzhan was able to become the deputy director of the Central Propaganda Department of the Nationalist Party was to step on the heads of patriotic literati, workers and students. The most criticized thing is to suppress non-governmental anti-Japanese and national salvation activities.

It's a bit dark and humorous to say it. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, this gentleman wrote a book called "The History of Chinese Students' National Salvation Movement". It may be that the student national salvation movement was more suppressed. He has become an expert. If someone else writes it, it is probably not as accurate and detailed as Pan Gongzhan's writing.

At this moment, Pan Gongzhan, who has suppressed the anti-Japanese and national salvation movement for a long time, is talking about the anti-Japanese and national salvation movement in his capacity as the chairman, and he is the chairman of the committee: "China is a country of etiquette. We will never invade foreign countries, but in the face of other people's aggression, We have never compromised. The chairman said well, if you give up your size, land and sovereignty, you will be the sinner of the Chinese nation through the ages! My brothers and I have made up our minds to sacrifice. People in the cultural circles are determined to sacrifice. The chairman once said..."

Zhou Hexuan yawned again and again, although it was inappropriate, but he really wanted to doze off.

The Shanghai Cultural Circle National Salvation Association, an organization that only existed for a few months in history, disbanded itself when Shanghai fell. But it has countless positive meanings. The most important thing is that it created a copy that allowed the same type of national salvation associations to blossom everywhere, and achieved a unified anti-Japanese thought in form.

Speaking of the fall of Shanghai, Lao Jiang is now convening national forces, preparing to hold a national defense conference, and will formulate an anti-Japanese strategy at the national defense conference.

According to the established plan of the Japanese military, it is actually to invade and occupy China from north to south. However, Lao Jiang took the initiative to provoke a war in Shanghai and forced Japan to change the strategy from "north to south" to "from east to west". This decision required a lot of courage.

Lao Jiang has three purposes in doing this:

The first is tactical. North China is a smooth road, while South China has complex terrain. Fighting in the south is conducive to China's strengths and weaknesses.

The second is strategic. If China and Japan go to war in an all-out way, the Soviet Union must be China's natural ally. If Japan were allowed to completely occupy the north, it would cut off Soviet aid to China.

The third is diplomatic. Shanghai is related to the interests of the major powers of all countries. 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. It's a pity that there are many loopholes in the specific battle, and it's impossible to see the details...

"Crack, clap, clap!"

At some point, Pan Gongzhan's speech had ended. Before stepping down from the stage, he said: "Now, I 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 I went out, I just received the news that the deputy commander of the 29th Army, General Tong Linge, the second General Zhao Dengyu, commander of the 132nd Division of the 19th Army, has died. Nanyuan has fallen, and Beiping is about to fall..."

"boom!"

The audience was in an uproar, everyone was shocked and inexplicable.

Zhou Hexuan continued: "Ta Kung Pao dispatched two war correspondents in the defense of Nanyuan. One of them was killed and the other was injured and sent a detailed report. The invaders caused heavy casualties. The Japanese invaders had to use planes to bomb and straf our positions in turn, which opened up the situation. Especially the student corps of the 29th Army, they only trained for half a year and officially joined the army for half a month. It became the main target of the Japanese invaders for the first time. These student soldiers fought the enemy bravely, fought to the death, and repelled the enemy's attack several times. In the Nanyuan defense battle, our army had a total of more than 7,000 people. The number of deaths has not yet been released, but at least 5,000 people They are all good. In the face of the brutal Japanese invaders, they did not flee cowardly, but defended their country with their flesh and blood. Now, let us express our respect for the two generals, all the soldiers who died, and the one who died Reporters, three minutes of silence!"

No one objected, and no one spoke.

Everyone sat quietly, full of thoughts, and silently sighed.

About three minutes later, Zhou Hexuan said: "I have shouted enough slogans for the war of resistance over the years. Now there are only four words left, and that is - China must win! Six years ago, I said so, now I Still say that. China will win, Japan will lose. The premise is that we must stand up and resist, we have 40 million compatriots! Even 40 million pigs, roaring and charging at the Japanese, are enough to kill the Japanese. Those Surrender theorists, those peace theorists, 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's build our new Great Wall with our flesh and blood! The Chinese nation has arrived, the most dangerous time..."

Zhou Hexuan sang "March of the Volunteers", and more than 500 people in the audience gradually sang along, and the singing voice merged into a torrent echoing in the venue.

Those who have the same thoughts as Hu Shi and the commenters have uncertain faces at the moment. There is shame, there is resentment, and so on.
