The relationship between Zhang Xueliang and Zhou Hexuan has become a bit delicate. After returning from the Jinzhou battlefield, Zhang Xueliang did not see Zhou Hexuan again, and the two did not even communicate with each other, as if they did not know each other at all.

"Zhang Xueliang is a person who has misled the country very much!"

This is the first thing Hu Shi said when he came to Tianjin to visit Zhou Hexuan and met.

The "918 Incident" greatly stimulated Hu Shi, and since then he has written articles about Northeast China almost every year, and was the first to put forward the idea that "World War II began on 918".

On the afternoon of the second day of "918", Hu Shi wrote a poem: "The democratic country of Nantian, looking back is sad. Where is the Black Tiger today? Huang Long has also been Chen. A few useless pens, half a dozen people with a heart, after all, it is difficult to make up for it, and it is forty springs! ”

This poem is written about the deeds of Liu Yongfu, Tang Jingsong and others, who led the people to resist Japan and protect Taiwan after the signing of the "Treaty of Shimonoseki". He compared Taiwan at that time to today's Northeast, missed Liu Yongfu as an anti-Japanese soldier, and hated himself for being a useless scholar and unable to carry a knife to drive away the Japanese invaders.

Hu Shi is now the dean of the Faculty of Arts and the head of the Department of Chinese Literature at Peking University, and he is neighbors with Lin Huiyin and Liang Sicheng. No. 1 lives Chen Yuan and Fu Sinian, No. 3 lives Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin, and Hu Shi lives No. 4.

"Hateful, hateful," Hu Shi said sadly, "The Japanese want to invade our northeastern land, and their wolf ambitions have long been exposed." But from the Nanjing government to the warlords of the Feng family, they were all busy fighting for internal turf, and they actually gave up the vast black land to the Japanese! ”

As Hu Shi said, not only Zhou Hexuan, the traverser, but many Chinese people saw Japan's threat to the Northeast at that time, but they could only witness the deterioration of the situation.

Hu Shi has a friend named Ding Wenjiang, who is a professor of geology at Peking University.

As early as 1927, Ding Wenjiang wrote to Hu Shih, saying that he had been studying the Japanese question recently, and he deeply felt that the key to China's survival and comfort lay in Japan. On the eve of the outbreak of 918, Hu Shi and Ding Wenjiang traveled together for half a month, mentioning Japan's ambition to invade China many times.

Zhou Hexuan said helplessly: "Just like the First Sino-Japanese Naval War, the hearts of the Chinese people must be completely pierced in order to work hard. ”

Hu Shi said with a wry smile: "We used to shout that academics save the country, science to save the country, and the Renaissance, but now the national disaster is at the head, and both academia and science are useless." Two days ago, Brother Jun (Ding Wenjiang) laughed at himself, saying that intellectuals are 'capable ministers who govern the world and rice buckets in troubled times', although his words are vulgar, but what he says is the truth. ”

"The rice bucket is also useful." Zhou Hexuan comforted.

Hu Shi said: "I, a rice bucket, have been thinking about my role recently. In the end, I found that I was very helpless, at most I stood up and shouted a few slogans, it was really useless to be a scholar! ”

Zhou Hexuan said: "The slogan also needs to be shouted. Only when the voice is loud can it be deafening and the country and the people united. ”

"That's what I think," Hu Shi explained, "We should not only shout slogans, but also shout strategically and academically." A few friends and I were going to start an Independent Review magazine dedicated to the state and the world situation, so that the eyes and ears of the people could be enlightened. Mingcheng is an expert in this area, please join in! ”

The Independent Review was a very well-known political magazine in the 30s, and its editors-in-chief, Hu Shih, Ding Wenjiang, and Jiang Tinghuang, were all on a voluntary basis and did not receive any salary. This magazine existed for five years, during which it published a large number of current review articles, which not only broadened the horizons of the Chinese people, but also played a positive role in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.

Among them, Jiang Tinghuang was also summoned by Chang Kaishen three times for writing articles in the "Independent Review", and finally was invited to serve as the chief of the executive yuan of the central government, and was appointed as China's permanent representative to the United Nations after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War.

Zhou Hexuan immediately agreed: "Of course I want to join this kind of thing, and a political article every week will be delivered on time and with good quality." ”

"In this way, thank you," Hu Shi said happily, "there is a clear and sincere awakening article, which will definitely achieve good results." ”

Although Hu Shi is very politically naïve, his views on the handling of the "September 18 Incident" are very rational and correct.

After the "September 18 Incident," the Nanjing Nationalist Government only wanted to rely on the United States and the League of Nations to resolve the issue, but it was reluctant to negotiate with Japan.

At that time, the Japanese cabinet had not yet been biased toward the military, and took the initiative to put forward five principles for negotiations, in the general sense of restoring the northeast to the state it was before "918." According to the requirements of the Japanese cabinet, although China will lose part of its interests, it is completely acceptable.

Hu Shi wrote to Song Ziwen many times, advocating early negotiations with the Japanese. However, the Nanjing Nationalist Government was like an ostrich that stuck its head in the sand, and did not dare to declare war on Japan or negotiate with Japan, thus wasting a great diplomatic opportunity in vain.

In fact, as long as China and Japan reached a diplomatic agreement at that time, then they would have gained a firm foothold in law. Even if the Japanese cabinet repents, the Chinese side will speak more stubbornly, which will make Japan's international diplomatic situation even more sinister.

This is a very nonsense thing, and I don't know what the central government was thinking at the time.

A few days ago, the International Pacific Society was scheduled to be held in Shanghai, and Hu Shi was elected chairman of the conference. Due to the outbreak of the September 18 Incident, Hu Shih decided to postpone the meeting, and later, after careful consideration, decided not to postpone it. Hu Shih believes that "because this Pacific meeting is an excellent opportunity to raise the China incident for discussion," he wants to use the meeting to condemn Japan's shameless acts.

It is a pity that a meeting of a group of international intellectuals could not turn the sky upside down, and at most it aroused the sympathy of foreign scholars for China.

Zhou Hexuan also received an invitation to the meeting, but during the meeting, he followed Zhang Xueliang to Jinzhou.

Regarding Zhang Xueliang, Hu Shi commented in the article: "Although it is not that one person who should be fully responsible for the fall of the Northeast, Mr. Zhang Xueliang, as the full leader of both the military and the government, bears the heaviest and greatest responsibility, which no one can deny...... The boy's ambition almost completely ruined his physical and mental ...... People who have been ruined and ruined want to support an unstoppable crisis, and in the future, they will find another opportunity to step down calmly, and I am afraid that it will not be easy to get. ”

Zhou Hexuan sent Hu Shi away, spread out the pen and paper, began to smoke and think, and wrote down the title for a long time - the dual nature of Japanese politics and the northeast expansion plan of the Kwantung Army.

The so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is invincible.

Although the book "Chrysanthemum and the Sword" gives a comprehensive account of Japan, many details are impossible to write clearly.

Since Hu Shih founded the "Independent Review", Zhou Hexuan just used this platform to deeply analyze the situation in various countries in Japan. Each article writes about one aspect, and in a few years, it can at least provide some reference opinions for the officials of the central government to resist the war.
