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

First of all, let's talk about President Pan Gongzhan, as we mentioned earlier, he is the deputy director of the Propaganda Department of the Central Committee of the Kuomintang.

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

As a result, Chen Bui stayed as a secretary and eventually became Lao Jiang's courage. "There is no distinction between north and south, no distinction between old and young, no matter who they are, they all have the responsibility of defending the land and resisting the war", and "an inch of rivers and mountains, an inch of blood, 100,000 young people and 100,000 troops" These two old Jiang famous sayings are all from Chen Bui's skillful hand.

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

It is rumored that the situation when the two of them were interviewed by Lao Jiang was like this-

A cold light flashed in Chang Kaishen's eyes, and Pan Gongzhan, who was dressed in particular clothes, was frightened, and his eyes flickered, and his demeanor stiffened. The so-called eyes are not right, and the old Jiang who believes in physiognomy suddenly committed a crime, thinking that Pan Gongzhan is difficult to take on the big responsibility.

And although Chen Bui has shriveled lips, fluffy hair, and casual dress, like a nerd who can only bury his head in making a fuss, he looks calm in the face of Lao Jiang's glare, leaving an excellent first impression on Lao Jiang.

Then, Chang Kaishen began to ask the question: "How to deal with the workers' movement in Shanghai?" ”

Pan Gongzhan replied: "The commander-in-chief is free and wonderful. ”

Chang Kaishen was so angry that he wanted to beat someone, if Lao Tzu had a clever plan, what would he use you for!

Chen Bui replied: "I foolishly think that we should send reliable troops to surround Shanghai, so as to cause the tiger to come out of the mountain." After that, they will take the lead with gang forces......"

At this time, Chang Kaishen already had the bottom and began to take the written test again, and the topic of the written test was "The Book of Confession to Huangpu Classmates".

Chen Bui pondered for a moment, wrote hard, wrote in one go, and wrote brilliantly, and Chang Kaishen praised him.

So, Pan Gongzhan got out of the way and returned to Shanghai to become the deputy editor-in-chief of "Declaration".

The reason why Pan Gongzhan was able to become the deputy director of the Propaganda Department of the Central Committee of the Kuomintang was that he stepped on the heads of patriotic literati, workers, and students to climb up, and the most criticized thing was to suppress the anti-Japanese and life-saving activities of the people.

Speaking of some black humor, after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, this gentleman wrote a book called "The History of the Chinese Student Salvation Movement". It may be that the student national salvation movement has been suppressed a lot, and he has already become an expert, so if someone else writes it, it is estimated that it is not as accurate and detailed as Pan Gongzhan's writing.

At this moment, Pan Gongzhan, who had suppressed the anti-Japanese salvation movement for a long time, was talking about the anti-Japanese salvation movement in his capacity as the chairman, and he was the chairman of the committee when he opened his mouth and closed his mouth: "China is a country of etiquette, and we will never invade foreign countries, but we will never compromise in the face of other people's aggression. The chairman of the committee said well, if you give up the size of land and sovereignty, you will be the sinner of the Chinese nation through the ages! Brother, I have made up my mind to sacrifice, and I hope that all of you, my compatriots, and all of us in the cultural circles, will be determined to make sacrifices. The chairman of the committee once said......"

Zhou Hexuan yawned again and again, although it was out of place, he really wanted to doze off.

The Shanghai Cultural Circles Salvation Association existed for only a few months in history, and when Shanghai fell, it disbanded itself. However, it has countless positive works, the most important of which is that it has created a facsimile that has allowed the same type of salvation associations to blossom everywhere, and has achieved a unity of anti-Japanese ideology in form.

Speaking of the fall of Shanghai, Lao Chiang is now already gathering all the forces of the whole country to prepare for the convening of 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 department, in fact, it was to invade and occupy China from north to south. However, Lao Chiang took the initiative to provoke a war in Shanghai and forced Japan to change the strategy of "from north to south" to "from east to west." This decision required great courage.

Lao Jiang did this for three purposes:

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

The second is strategic, in the event of an all-out war between China and Japan, the Soviet Union will be a natural ally of China. If Japan were allowed to occupy the north completely, it would cut off Soviet aid to China.

Third, diplomatically, Shanghai is related to the interests of the great powers of various countries, and once the Japanese army attacks Shanghai, Japan will inevitably be isolated in the international community.

I have to say 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 battles, and the details can't be seen at all......

"Bang bang bang!"

I don't know when, Pan Gongzhan's speech has ended, and he said before stepping down: "Now, I would like to 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 going out, I just received news that General Tong Linge, deputy commander of the 29th Army, and General Zhao Dengyu, commander of the 132nd Division of the 29th Army, have died. Nanyuan has been lost, and Beiping is about to fall......"

"Boom!"

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

Zhou Hexuan continued: "In the defense of Nanyuan, Ta Kung Pao sent a total of two war correspondents, one of whom was killed, and the other was injured and sent a detailed report. During the battle, our officers and men bravely resisted the enemy and inflicted heavy casualties on the Japanese invaders. The Japanese had to use planes to bomb and strafe our positions in turn, and only then did they open up the situation. In particular, the student corps of the 29th Army, which had only been training for half a year and had been officially enlisted for half a month, had become the main target of the Japanese invaders this time. These student soldiers fought bravely against the enemy, fought to the death, and repelled enemy attacks several times. In the defense of Nanyuan, our army had a total of more than 7,000 people, and the death data has not yet come out, but at least more than 5,000 people. They are all good, and in the face of the murderous Japanese invaders, they did not cowardly flee, but defended the land with their flesh and blood. Now, let us observe a three-minute silence for the two generals, as well as for all the soldiers who died, and the journalist who died! ”

No one objected, and no one spoke.

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

About three minutes passed, and Zhou Hexuan spoke: "Anti-Japanese War slogans, I have shouted enough over the years. Now there are only four words left, and that is - China will win! That's what I said six years ago, and I still say that. China will win, Japan will lose. The premise is that we have to rise up and resist, we have 40,000 compatriots! Even 40,000,000 pigs, roaring and charging at the Japanese, are enough to kill the Japanese. Surrenderists, pacifists, shut up! War, only war, can make China stand up, not like North Korea, under the rule of the Japanese! Arise, you who do not want to be slaves, and build our flesh and blood into our new Great Wall! The Chinese nation has arrived, and 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 converged into a torrent that echoed in the venue.

He commenter, who has the same thoughts as Hu Shi, has a cloudy face at the moment. There is shame, there is resentment, and so on.
