Chapter 863 862 [Peace Appeal]
Host: "Since you are familiar with Hitler, what do you think of his Nazism?"
Zhou Hexuan: "The real name of Nazism in German is Nationaler Sozialismus. And the word 'Nationaler' can be either a country or a nation. So some scholars translate it as 'National Socialism', and some scholars translate it As 'national socialism', I prefer the latter, because Nazism is a combination of nationalism and socialism. In the 1920s, Europe saw a huge wave of socialism and ultra-nationalism. If you mix the two together, you can get the support of countless people. Anti-Semitism is only a component of ultra-nationalism. In fact, Hitler was not only anti-Semitic, but also anti-Gypsies, and opposed to everything People of color.”
Host: "Is this how Hitler came to power?"
Zhou Hexuan: "Of course it cannot be separated from the support of German capitalists and aristocrats."
Host: "German capitalists also support Hitler?"
Zhou Hexuan: "Of course, Hitler has the support of the entire non-Jewish mainstream society in Germany. Let's talk about the bourgeoisie first. Capital needs freedom. Big capital advocates small government, that is, the less government control, the better. It is inherently opposed to a centralized government like the Nazis. . But why are German capitalists willing to support Hitler? Because of the world economic crisis. Capital needs to flow, and the economic crisis puts capital in a stagnant state. Whoever moves first among capitalists will die. Therefore, there must be a strong government to promote it, and Hitler came into being. . As soon as Hitler came to power, he issued national debt on a large scale and forced capitalists to buy it as starting capital for economic development. Although German capitalists were forced to borrow money, they were willing because only in this way could Germany get out of the economic crisis. Without Hitler's forced borrowing , then none of the capitalists dare to contribute money, and whoever contributes money is a fool. Only a strong government allows everyone to contribute money together, then it is fair and acceptable to everyone. The same is true in the United States, President Roosevelt’s New Deal, It starts with rectifying finance. The large conglomerates in the United States are bleeding. This is necessary and what the capitalists have to implement."
Host: "The United States is the same as Germany?"
Zhou Hexuan: "Roosevelt's New Deal and the Nazi economic policies have many similarities, such as rectifying finance, issuing national bonds, providing relief for work, improving welfare, and solving employment problems. In this way, everyone from the bourgeoisie to the proletariat can benefit. But they are different. Yes, Germany took the line of militarism. Hitler used Nazism to enslave the middle class and the lower class people, which in turn suppressed the big capitalists who supported him. Now, the big bourgeoisie, the middle class, and the lower class people in Germany are all tied up. Get on the German Nazi tank. The anti-Semitic Kristallnacht was just a means to bind all classes in Germany. Once the national conflicts within Germany were eliminated, Hitler would only have the option of external expansion, because he had to use more interests to win support from all walks of life. I dare to predict that Germany’s external expansion will go smoothly and it can still maintain unity. If it encounters a major setback, the German bourgeoisie will inevitably counterattack. For example, they can assassinate Hitler.”
Zhou Hexuan's words actually did not make it clear. Hitler was not only supported by the big capitalists in Germany, but also by the big capitalists of Britain, France, the United States and other powers.
For example, Wall Street in the United States provided huge help to Hitler in solving economic problems. Including Italy and Japan, they also received help from the big capitalists in Britain, France and the United States. They had only one purpose, which was to encircle the Soviet Union with capitalism so that communism could not further export revolution to Britain, France and the United States.
Therefore, Germany annexed Austria. Although Britain, France and the United States verbally condemned it, they were happy to see it happen because it would make the encirclement of the Soviet Union more stable.
Today's international situation is: capitalism condones militarism to resist communism.
However, Hitler was not a fool. He was not willing to be used as a weapon. After completing the initial expansion, he immediately turned around and attacked the capitalist countries that condoned him. The same is true for Japan. It ran into the iron plate of the Soviet Union and found that it couldn't chew it, so it simply went south to eat up the capitalist colonies.
When Roosevelt heard Zhou Hexuan compare him with Hitler, he immediately laughed and said: "This is a very interesting statement."
Zhou Hexuan continued: "Hitler's rule in Germany was actually a deformed socialist revolution, and it borrowed a lot from communism. Lenin's revolution was propaganda that exaggerated the contradiction between the proletariat and the bourgeoisie, while Hitler's Nazi , is an exaggerated propaganda of the contradiction between the middle and lower classes and the Jews. He attributes everything to the greed of the Jews and allows the proletariat to vent their hatred on the Jews. At the same time, he also emphasizes national hatred and promotes the decline of Germany and the hardship of the German people. was imposed by Britain and France after the war. Therefore, after carrying out national revenge against the Jews, Hitler must carry out national revenge against Britain and France. This is a promise he made to the German people, and he must fulfill it, otherwise he will be abandoned by the people .In the minds of Nazi members, the Soviet Union is not the enemy, but the Jews, Britain and France are the enemies."
"It seems reasonable," Morgenthau commented.
Roosevelt thought seriously for a moment, nodded and said, "That should be the case. He studied the Nazis very thoroughly."
Morgenthau asked, "Do we need to do anything in advance?"
Roosevelt smiled: "There is no need for that. For the United States, a chaotic Europe is a good Europe. We just need to be the savior at the right time."
In Roosevelt's view, if Germany collided with the powerful French army and British navy, both sides would suffer. He never thought, nor could he imagine, that France would be easily annexed by Germany, while Britain would be blocked on the island and unable to get out. This led to a series of consequences, that is, Japan took the opportunity to send troops to Southeast Asia, seriously infringing on the interests of the United States.
During the Dunkirk evacuation and the Japanese invasion of Laos, the U.S.-Japanese war was inevitable because Roosevelt's layout was completely disrupted. Not only was it disrupted, but it was completely disrupted, completely beyond Roosevelt's expectations. He desperately tried to find an excuse to join the war as soon as possible.
Host: "Mr. Einstein, did you immigrate to the United States because you were persecuted by the Nazis?"
Einstein: "Yes, the Nazi persecution of the Jews began very early. At first, they did not allow Jews to enter certain places, such as cafes, theaters, restaurants, etc. Then they expelled or arrested Jewish scholars and burned Jewish books. Then, they prohibited Jews from engaging in certain professions, such as being government servants and joining the army. When I visited the United States, the Nazis raided my apartment, burned my book collection, and confiscated my property. So I chose to stay in the United States."
Zhou Hexuan: "I feel very sad about the treatment of Jews in Germany."
Einstein: "I also sympathize with the suffering of the Chinese people."
Host: "Mr. Einstein seems to be calling for donations to aid China."
Einstein: “I learned from friends about the atrocities committed by the Japanese and felt extremely indignant about them.”
Host: "Is it a massacre?"
Zhou Hexuan: "The Nanjing Massacre was thousands of times worse than Kristallnacht. Hundreds of thousands of Chinese civilians died at the hands of the Japanese army."
Host: "Really hundreds of thousands."
Zhou Hexuan: "I brought the diary written by Mr. Rabe today. Mr. Rabe is a German and a member of the Nazi Party. His records in China are completely credible and he did not slander and slander the Japanese army for no reason. I will read it now. Page: On December 21, at the request of Mr. Kikuchi from the Japanese headquarters, I found 60 electricians to repair the Shimonoseki Power Plant. The workers were unwilling to work for the Japanese because 50 of their partners who were taking refuge in Shimonoseki were brutally murdered by the Japanese army. On December 22, Mr. Fitch and I were in the so-called safe zone on Yunnan Road. We saw 30 Chinese people wearing civilian clothes, being tied up, killed, and thrown into a pond. According to Kroegel and Ha According to Mr. Ci’s report, about 500 civilians were shot in a similar manner outside Hanxi Gate. I estimate that 5,000 to 6,000 people were brutally killed in this way. They were all desperate and unarmed people..."
Zhou Hexuan read the diary for about two minutes. The host suddenly said: "That's enough. I believe that is the truth, but are hundreds of thousands of Chinese civilians really killed?"
Zhou Hexuan: "This is statistics made by Mr. Rabe and I based on various first-hand information. Let me give you an example. In just one month from mid-December to mid-February, the charity organization Red Swastika buried more than 200 bodies every day. Counting the corpses of civilians, at least 12,000 people have been buried. According to the Red Swastika Society's report, there are still at least 30,000 corpses that have not been processed in the areas they are responsible for. The number of civilian corpses discovered by the Red Swastika Society alone in February There were more than 40,000 bodies, and the massacre by the Japanese army in Nanjing lasted until May. Also, the Red Swastika Society was only one of the charities responsible for collecting the corpses, and there were six or seven related charity groups. You can do the math for yourself. How many Chinese civilians were killed? If you still don’t believe it, I have photos and videos in my hand, you can see it with your own eyes. On December 26, after Christmas, the Nanjing Massacre documentary will be screened in movie theaters across the United States. I hope everyone can Go and witness it and protest against the anti-human behavior of those brutal Japanese soldiers."
Host: "Were all civilians killed?"
Zhou Hexuan: "After Japan occupied Nanjing, it used the pretext of searching for soldiers to arrest Chinese men. As long as Chinese men had calluses on their hands, they would be captured and shot by the Japanese army. I have a newspaper in my hand, and it is the Japanese's own newspaper. , a Chinese student studying in Japan took the risk and sent it to me in the editorial office of "Non-Offensive". "Tokyo Nichiichi Shimbun" reported on December 13 that two second lieutenants of the Nakajima unit of the 16th Division of the Japanese Army were named Toshiaki Mukai. With the encouragement of their superiors, they had a killing competition with Takeshi Noda. Whoever killed 100 people first was the winner. On that day, they killed from Gourong to Tangshan. Toshiaki Mukai killed 89 people and Takeshi Noda killed 78 people, but they were not satisfied. 100, so the game continued. At noon the next day, the two met at the foot of Purple Mountain, and each other's sabers had notches. Noda killed 105 people, and Mukai killed 106 people, because they were not sure who would kill 100 first. So the competition was re-started to see who could kill 150 people first. These atrocities were serialized in newspapers with pictures and texts, and the Japanese called them the 'Heroes of the Imperial Army'."
Host: "Oh, God! It's unbelievable. Listeners, I have this newspaper in my hands right now. I can't believe it's real, but it does exist."
Zhou Hexuan: "Whether the Nazis persecuted the Jews or the Japanese army massacred the Chinese, they are all unforgivable crimes against humanity. I hereby call for peace and call on the US government to impose strong sanctions on Japan and Germany. The United States does not need to participate in the war, but it can Assist the Chinese and Jews from the diplomatic and economic aspects. As ordinary Americans, you can also donate to China and choose to boycott Japanese goods. This is what conscientious humans and conscientious countries should do..."
Roosevelt sat in front of the radio and was silent for a long time after listening to this paragraph. He couldn't help but said: "Are all Japanese crazy? This kind of massacre of civilians can be reported in public and receive praise. It is as stupid as a pig!"
