After several days of discussions and discussions, the "International Anti-Fascist League" was officially named the "World Committee Against Imperialist War."

As for why the name was changed, it was because Romain Rolland's ideals were ambitious. He not only wanted to oppose fascism, but also all unjust wars in the world, so the name "World Committee Against Imperialist War" is more appropriate.

But when World War II began, the name of the organization was changed back to the "International Anti-Fascist League". This is for the sake of publicity, as well as to make it easy to gain support from governments, and the two names belong to the same organization anyway.

After voting, Romain Rolland was elected chairman of the "Anti-War Committee", Zhou Hexuan and French writer Barbisse were elected vice chairmen, and Mrs. Sun was elected honorary chairman. As for Einstein, everyone originally wanted to elect him as vice chairman, but Einstein resolutely refused, and in the end he only became an ordinary committee member.

The meeting also specifically discussed the issue of imperialist aggression against China, and decided to organize a delegation to China to investigate the actual situation of Japan's invasion of Northeast China, and to prepare for convening an "anti-war conference in the Far East" in China.

Mrs. Sun chaired the preparatory committee for the "Far East Anti-War Congress," and the Chinese underground party organization was responsible for specific propaganda and preparatory work.

Night, hotel.

Romain Rolland asked: "Zhou, the map you drew about the source of the war was deliberately exaggerated for the sake of China, right?" ”

"Without the slightest exaggeration, the fascist forces will definitely expand globally." Zhou Hexuan said with certainty.

Barbisse laughed: "Hitler was a madman, but he was not a fool. The French army is the first in the world, and he dares to take the initiative to attack France, which is completely self-defeating. ”

Zhou Hexuan suddenly didn't know how to explain, could it be that the majestic Grand France only lasted for a month and chose to surrender, and even the time for the real war was only ten days?

Who the would believe it!

Judging by the data alone, the French regular army is close to 1 million people, and if the national mobilization is carried out, the army will be expanded to more than 5 million in minutes. Moreover, all kinds of military equipment are extremely advanced, such as the 3,000 tanks of the French army, which far surpass the German army in terms of quality, quantity and firepower.

This can be easily lost, which is a hundred times more incredible than Zhang Xueliang losing the Northeast.

That's millions of French troops, even if it's millions of pigs, standing still and letting the Germans kill them, they can't kill them all in a month.

It is now internationally recognized as the largest British navy in the world and the strongest French army in the world.

And Zhou Hexuan said that Germany would take the initiative to attack France, and Japan would invade Britain's colonies in the Far East, which seemed to be a fantasy joke in the ears of others.

It was not until 10 years later that Romain Rolland wrote in an article: "Today's war, some people have foreseen it a long time ago, and the world situation is like a game of chess, developing exactly according to his prediction." Mr. Zhou Hexuan is a very amazing person, his eyes can see through the fog of time, perhaps this is the power of a great historian. But unfortunately, neither I nor the governments of other countries could have believed his prediction before the war, because it was completely contrary to common sense and absolutely impossible to happen. God, it seems, played a bloody and cruel joke on the world. ”

Let's get back to business.

Babisse suddenly said: "I think our anti-war alliance can cooperate with the Comintern, or even let the Comintern lead it, so that it is more organized and influential." ”

Einstein did not explicitly refuse, but said, "If that happens, I will withdraw from it." ”

Romain Rolland stood up to play a round: "It's still okay to cooperate with the Communist International, but not to let them lead." ”

"I'm just making a suggestion." Barbisse hurriedly compromised.

Zhou Hexuan changed the topic and said: "I think the top priority is to carry out anti-war propaganda, let everyone know our organizational philosophy, and attract comrades from all walks of life to join in." In particular, political parties and officials in various countries have been very helpful to the anti-war cause. ”

Sir Marley laughed: "I can introduce the leftists of the British Labour Party to join. ”

Because public opinion in various countries is now on the left, many parties have also begun to tilt to the left, which can make it easier to win votes. One of them was Sir Marlay, who was often unscrupulous in promoting leftist ideas, and as a result he was nicknamed the "Red Aristocracy".

American journalist Eloson also said: "I can be responsible for propaganda in the United States, and I believe that many American media people are willing to join our anti-war alliance." ”

Sir Marley is in charge of the British Labour Party, and Irosen is in charge of the American media, and the two of them have a lot of energy. In addition, Zhou Hexuan, Romain Rolland, Barbisset and others are all great writers, and they are very good at talking about propaganda and cannons, and their anti-war alliance can't do it without popularity.

It's a pity that all the core members advocate freedom, and this kind of organizational cohesion is very poor, and it can be called a plate of loose sand.

Zhou Hexuan said: "Let's talk about membership fees and the journal again. ”

Romain Rolland said: "The journal can be organized, and I am the editor-in-chief on a voluntary basis, but the membership fee is not necessary." ”

"It's a must, it needs money to run the organisation," said the British bookseller Gorentz, "and the membership fee can be set at £5 a year, and members who are really in financial difficulties can apply for exemption from the membership fee." In addition, I applied for the preparation of a business journal, and I am relatively good at it. ”

Barbisse is also engaged in publishing publicity: "I am in charge of the journal. ”

Seeing that the two were arguing, Zhou Hexuan said with a smile: "In this way, each country will set up a journal, and the name of the magazine will be "Non-War". ”

"That's a good idea." Romain Rolland clapped.

Nowadays, communication conditions are not convenient, not to mention the world, even different provinces in China, the content of the same newspaper may be different, and it is a good way to run a separate journal.

The group then discussed the organizational structure and planned to set up chapters around the world, such as Zhou Hexuan, who was the head of the China branch. The membership of the organization can be joined regardless of party affiliation or class, as long as it is an anti-war person, which greatly facilitates the speed of the organization's dissemination.

Zhou Hexuan decided to go back and cooperate with the Shabaab, which is a group of enthusiastic patriots who believe that they are very willing to support the anti-war cause - against the evil imperialist war, and China's war of resistance is a just war.

The anti-war conference in Amsterdam took about half a month to conclude.

The conference was still very successful, with two major achievements: first, the creation of an anti-war alliance, and second, preparations were made to hold an anti-war conference in the Far East in China and to send a war mission to China.

Mrs. Sun soon returned to China and contacted the underground party to prepare for the Far East anti-war conference.

Zhou Hexuan was invited by Sir Marais and Gorenz to England, where a series of speaking engagements awaited him.
