Chapter 146: Armistice
In the morning in Shanghai, the fresh air is still filled with the smell of gunpowder, and the sound of guns can be heard from time to time.
Under the stubborn counterattack of the 19th Route Army, the Japanese army could not pass without January 29, and the consuls of Britain, France and the United States mediated.
At the same time, Chiang Kai-shek, who had already gone into the wilderness, made a comeback, and it can be said that it was difficult to find a more suitable leader than Chiang Kai-shek in China at that time.
Although Chiang Kai-shek was not a successful politician, it can only be said that he was much stronger than Sun Ke's straw bale.
Although he is the son of the father of the country, no one sees him as the son of the country.
On January 30, Chiang Kai-shek issued a "telegram to the soldiers of the whole country", in which he said that after the outbreak of the Shanghai War, "the officers and men of our 19th Route Army have risen up to defend themselves loyally and bravely, and the revolutionary officers and men of our army should fight for the personality of the country, seek survival for the nation, fulfill their responsibilities for the revolution, and embrace the determination to be a broken jade rather than a complete building, so as to deal with this violent day of destroying peace and contempt for faith." Chiang Kai-shek demanded that the soldiers of the whole country "work hard and share the same hatred...... Pillow Ge stood by to save the perilous", and said that he himself was "willing to swear to live and die with all the soldiers and do my duty". 3] After the release of this telegram, the impact was very great, and "the morale of the people was greatly boosted". On the same day, the Nationalist Government issued the "Declaration on the Relocation of the Capital to Luoyang," stating that it would never give in and that from that day on, the Nationalist government departments would be moved to Luoyang, but the Military Commission and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs would remain in Nanjing, and at the same time ordered the forward army to be jointly commanded by He Yingqin, Minister of Military Affairs, and Zhu Peide, Chief of Staff.
The Shanghai military and civilians unanimously supported the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, especially Wen Hao's "The Great Wall Will Never Fall", which set off a war to defend the country in China.
There is also the Anti-Japanese Women's Rescue Association organized by Song Qingling and He Xiangning, and Wen Hao's song "Amani" was also arranged in the anti-Japanese propaganda performance, which not only won the love of the Chinese, but also deeply moved the international friends in the world for this song calling for world peace and caring for children in war.
Some people who sympathize with China and like peace have translated this song into various Chinese languages. Spread it around the world, so that the people of all countries in the world can understand that China is being invaded by Japanese imperialism.
At this moment, Wen Hao's fame surpassed Zhao Jingxiang's momentum. These songs are sung in the streets, in schools, in factories, even in those dance halls.
Chiang Kai-shek sat at his desk in the presidential palace, quietly listening to songs on the gramophone. And in the gramophone is playing "Ten Thousand Miles Never Fall".
"I really didn't expect Zhao Liangxiang's younger brother to be a talented person, this song is not much worse than Zhao Jingxiang's My home is in the Northeast, I heard that many people are attracted by this song. The whole of China as long as everyone who has heard this song applauds. "Chiang Kai-shek has recently liked listening to songs.
Not long ago, I could always hear Zhao Jinghao's songs in his office, and now whenever Chiang Kai-shek is free, he can hear Hao's songs.
President Jiang's songs are now widely circulated not only in China, but also among overseas Chinese. Some people also say that this song can be used as China's national anthem. Zhang Yezhong said to Chiang Kai-shek.
"Well, there is such a statement." When Chiang Kai-shek heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked.
"This shows that this song is indeed loved by people in the hearts of Chinese, but the national anthem cannot be determined by the degree of popularity." Zhang Yezhong was afraid that Chiang Kai-shek would misunderstand the author of this song for this reason.
"Hehe, it's not a matter of thinking about the national anthem. It's about how to deal with the Shanghai crisis. These two sisters and brothers can make this song, and they have also made contributions to the Anti-Japanese War, such talents must be cherished. Chiang Kai-shek said to Zhang Yezhong.
"I also heard that Zhao Jingxiang's younger brother, because he mistakenly thought that Zhao Jingxiang participated in the battle after joining the student volunteer army, when he went to find Zhao Jingxiang, he strayed into the battlefield, and he also killed the enemy bravely on the battlefield, which was widely spread in the 19th Route Army, and her younger brother is now very popular in the 19th Route Army." Lieutenant General Zhang Ye told Chiang Kai-shek about the front.
"Oh yes? A scholar. Not only can he compose, but he can also fight, it doesn't seem to be easy, can you let him join the army? Can't you Huangpu Military Academy let go of such an outstanding talent? When Chiang Kai-shek heard this, he immediately said to Zhang Yezhong......
"Zhao Jingxiang, your reputation in Shanghai is probably worse than your younger brother, you have to work hard, strive for you to make two tunes, and suppress your younger brother." Chen Ruping hugged Zhao Jingxiang and said.
"He's my brother, do I need to fight him? He's doing all of this now. It's too late for me to be happy for him, is it necessary to fight with him? Zhao Jingxiang pushed Chen Ruping away with her hand and said.
"Of course it's necessary, he's a man, you're a woman, and you're a representative of our women, so it's necessary for you to go back and try to make a good tune to suppress your brother." Chen Ruping heard Lian Shao's objection.
Chen Ruping is definitely a feminist, but Zhao Jingxiang thought to herself, how can I compare with my younger brother, the songs I sing are all taught by him, but he doesn't want to be famous, so he puts these songs down to her name.
"I can't make a good song like 'The Great Wall Never Falls' and 'Amani'." Zhao Jingxiang said helplessly, this is also her truth.
"It's impossible for us all to know that your "When Will the King Comes", "Walking on the Road of Life" and "My Home is in the Northeast" are no worse than your brother's, and you are his sister, didn't he learn his skills from you? You can do it. "Zhen Ruping has another idea in her heart, you sisters and brothers are fighting, so that she can hear more beautiful songs.
But Zhao Jingxiang didn't listen to Chen Ruping's words into her ears, what she wanted now was to go home early and see what Wen Hao was doing?
Wen Hao at home. Gu Xiaotang, He Qinghan, Sun Yurong, Wang Lanying, and Xie Xiaorou all surrounded Wen Hao.
"Wen Hao, I like your song "The Great Wall Does Not Fall" is so inspiring, I believe that the Chinese will definitely drive the Japanese out of China." He Qinghan, a nerd, now admires Wen Hao.
"I like your song "Amani" more, I heard others say that you were shirtless, playing the guitar was wild, so handsome, and now the singer who is performing for the benefit performance, singing your song, can't sing your style." Gu Xiaotang said disagree.
"These two songs are well done, and one song "The Great Wall Will Never Fall" inspires the confidence of the Chinese in the War of Resistance. The song "AMANI" won the sympathy and support of many friendly people in the international community, who condemned the atrocities of Japanese imperialism. Sun Yurong and the others didn't expect that Wen Hao, who is usually not very serious, would go to the battlefield and create such two songs that are so popular.
They exaggerated Wen Hao, Wen Hao couldn't cry or laugh when he heard it, didn't he just plagiarize two tunes? He is now their idol too.
"Okay, you've all praised me, it's been a long time, you haven't said it's annoying, I'm tired of listening to it, isn't it just two tunes? There's no need for you to worship me so much. Are you going to offer me up? Wen Hao said helplessly.
"What do you mean by praising me, should you have made us worship in the first place? People who know that we are good friends look at me differently. Gu Xiaotang said proudly.
"I guess no one dares to call you a rogue composer now, right?" Wang Lanying said with a smile.
Everyone laughed when they heard it, thinking of the song Wen Hao sang before, and the tone of the flow.
"By the way, Wen Hao, were you afraid when you first went to the battlefield?" Xie Xiaorou asked in a low voice.
"Do you need to ask? Wen Hao, my good brother, of course he won't be afraid. Gu Xiaotang said immediately.
"I don't think Wen Hao will be afraid, he has such a high patriotic spirit, if he was afraid that he would not sing such a good song on the battlefield." Wang Lanying also said.
When Wen Hao heard this, he hurriedly shook his head and said, "Wrong, you are wrong, of course I'm afraid, who said I'm not afraid of death, but it's useless to be afraid of some things, others have invaded to the doorstep, and it is difficult to escape a war if I am afraid, so it is precisely because I am afraid of life that I will fight for survival." ”
Only those who are afraid of death will fight for survival, and those politicians want people to fight for their beliefs, for their doctrines, for these ethereal things.
"No, Wen Hao, are you also afraid? I used to see you kill the Japanese, and I thought you were an outlaw, but now I see you as a battlefield, and I think that you are a hero and are not afraid of death, but you say that you are afraid of death. Gu Xiaotang said with some disappointment.
"Heroes and outlaws are the same, they are both people who are not afraid of death, I don't want to be a hero or an outlaw. I'll leave it to you Gu Xiaotang to do. Wen Hao said with a smile.
"That's right, Gu Xiaotang will be an outlaw if he joins the Green Gang, but if you learn to fight devils on the front line with Wen Hao, you will become a hero. The positions are different, the angles are different, so people who are not afraid of death can also be heroes or outlaws. Xie Xiaorou tilted her head and thought for a while.
In the eyes of politicians, politicians will give them the title of heroes to protect their interests, but those who oppose them must be outlaws, terrorists.
"It's not good for you to equate heroes with outlaws, isn't it true that heroes are something we should worship? Who wants to be an outlaw? It's because you smell like a hero that we come to see you, and if you're an outlaw, we don't want to know you. Wang Lanying was not happy when she heard it.
In Sun Yurong's heart, she really can't understand Wen Hao, is she an outlaw or a hero?
When she saw Wen Hao kill people for the first time, she felt that Wen Hao was an outlaw, and he killed several Japanese people on the street in cold blood. There was no war with the Japanese at that time, it was only caused by a small conflict.
But he is also like a hero, he dares to do it with the Japanese, originally a hero and an outlaw are two images with huge differences in Wen Hao, but they can be combined. (To be continued.) )
