On November 12, 1926, there was a two-story apartment in an alley on Huanlong Road in the French Concession of Shanghai.

At this time, more than a dozen people were meeting inside.

The theme of the meeting was to summarize the reasons for the failure of this armed uprising and to continue planning for the next one.

The crowd talked about the lack of preparation at work, and with the lessons of this time, they were confident in the next uprising.

In the corner of the room, a man listened quietly, silently, smoking all the time.

It wasn't until he was called out that he snuffed out his cigarette, pulled out a newspaper from his side, and pointed to one of the paragraphs.

"You see, that's an interesting idea." "We don't just need to unite the workers, but the peasant brothers are equally important," he said, in a Hunan accent. ”

"Oh, writers are talking about politics again." Someone looked at the article and quipped.

The newspaper is an interview with Lin Zixuan, and there are very few paragraphs, and if you don't read it carefully, you won't notice it at all.

"I agree with this view, so your responsibility is very important, you are in charge of the work of the peasants." A man who seemed to be a leader said, "It's just that at present, in order to cooperate with the Northern Expedition, the organization has decided that there must be a successful uprising in Shanghai to show the strength of our working class." ”

The man with a Hunan accent nodded, but didn't say anything.

At the end of the meeting, he and the others laughed and left, not returning to their accommodation.

He heard that there was one of the largest libraries in Asia in Shanghai, the Oriental Library, which was founded by the Commercial Press.

As a tireless intellectual young man, he wanted to see it.

Lin Zixuan returned to Shanghai and continued to be busy.

The Northern Expeditionary Army was getting closer and closer to Shanghai, and Sun Chuanfang was defeated and retreated, so he had to ask Zhang Zuolin in the north for help.

Both the Feng army in Tianjin and the troops of Zhang Zongzhi in Shandong had the intention of moving south, and it seemed that Shanghai was going through another baptism of war.

The "Jiawu Fengyun" filmed by Star Film Company could only be hastily called a day. Most of the plot was moved to the swimming pool in the French Concession, and the effect of filming can be imagined.

But here's the magic of the movie, after editing, even the swimming pool can have a magnificent scene.

Lin Zixuan knew that Zheng Zhengqiu had tried his best, but his conditions were limited, and he couldn't compare with the Japanese.

The Japanese took their first film in China very seriously. Giving great support, whether it's a warship or a crew, is real, unlike star studios that use props.

In publicity, no effort has been spared.

In order not to anger the Chinese audience, they carried out propaganda under the banner of Sino-Japanese friendship, and many scholars advocated it.

Some scholars believe that it was the Sino-Japanese naval war that led to the rapid decline of the Qing government, which created the conditions for the establishment of the Republic of China.

If there was no Sino-Japanese naval war, the Qing government's Beiyang Navy was a force to be reckoned with, and the Qing government would have continued to exist. The Xinhai Revolution would not have come.

This argument may sound plausible, but it is nonsense.

Do the Chinese still have to thank the Eight-Nation Alliance?

There are also scholars who advocate that the Chinese should forget the past grievances between the two countries, and that the two countries are friendly neighbors, and as neighbors, they should work together and help each other.

This reminded Lin Zixuan of China's disaster relief assistance to Japan during the Great Kanto Earthquake in Japan in 1923.

As a result, Japan took advantage of the earthquake to kill Chinese.

There are also economists who have proposed the concept of an East Asian economic circle, arguing that Japan and China cooperate economically. Complement each other and build together.

See this report. Lin Zixuan was quite surprised, isn't this the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Circle proposed by the Japanese later?

Unexpectedly, there would be a prototype at this time, and it seems that Japan has already had an overall layout of aggression against the whole of Asia.

In later generations, Lin Zixuan saw similar information on the Internet.

The "Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere" plan has been written into Japan's basic national policy.

In the "National Policy Guidelines," which are the basic principles of the long-term national policy, the Japanese militarist government made securing Japan's dominance on the East Asian continent and at the same time developing toward the southern seas as the fundamental national policy that the empire should establish.

The roadmap for Japan's aggression is roughly as follows.

Step 1: Establish a puppet state of Manchukuo in Heilongjiang, Jilin, Liaoning and other places.

Step 2: Occupy all of China.

Step 3: Occupy Southeast Asia. Australia, India, and all of Asia.

Step 4: Meet Nazi Germany in Greece and conquer the Soviet Union.

Step 5: Attack the United States and dominate the world.

If this aggression is planned successfully. The plot from "The Man in the High Castle" will appear.

In China, the pro-Japanese faction is very strong.

Because China and Japan have a deep relationship, there have been cultural exchanges for thousands of years, and the two sides know each other.

In the eyes of the pro-Japanese faction, Japan has a small territory, a small population, and a small threat, even if it is greedy, its appetite is not too big, and it can be appeased by giving them a little benefit.

China's real enemies are the Western powers, in which the concept of region and ethnicity plays a great decisive role.

Compared with Japan, the Western powers do not belong to the region of Asia, they are outsiders, and they will subconsciously think that they are invaders.

Moreover, Westerners are Caucasian, unlike the Chinese and Japanese.

Therefore, in the eyes of many Chinese, Westerners are not trustworthy, and they know the details of Japan, so they don't have to worry too much.

However, these pro-Japanese factions still do not know Japan well enough, and small people have big appetites, and Japan's goal is the whole world.

Since Japan has been operating in Shanghai for many years, there are many people who promote the Japanese in newspapers.

Lin Zixuan doesn't like the pro-Japanese faction very much, and these people have the possibility of becoming traitors in the future.

He wrote an article entitled "Don't Forget the National Shame and Be Wary of Japan," which enumerated the crimes committed by Japan in China and reminded the Chinese people that Japan had great intentions in China.

Lin Zixuan understands that many people don't believe it, but this is just foreshadowing.

As Japan's aggressive intentions in China become more apparent, more and more people will see Japanese ambitions.

What he wanted to do was to expose the aggressive intentions of the Japanese through various means and arouse the hatred of the Chinese people against Japan.

With the strong support of the Japanese, Zhang Shichuan's "Sino-Japanese Naval Battle" was filmed very smoothly and was a real big scene.

He riveted his strength and wanted to compete with his old friend Zheng Zhengqiu.

He even inquired about the premiere time of the star film company "Jiawu Fengyun", and his films were to premiere at the same time.

That's the ring!

Zhang Shichuan believes that the film he shot is a real Chinese blockbuster, and let the audience judge it.

He has been suppressed by Lin Zixuan for several years, and it is finally time to raise his eyebrows, and he can't wait.

Lin Zixuan was not afraid of the challenge and put the premiere of the film on the last day of 1926.

Now, I'm waiting for news from Hong Shen's side.

Hong Shen's filming in Guangzhou was kept secret, and after the shooting, he would go to Hong Kong for post-editing, and finally combine it with Cheng Zhengqiu's film to make a complete film.

At this stage, Lin Zixuan is not worried that the movie will go wrong, he has to think about what will happen after the movie is released.

It is certain that the Japanese will not rest on their laurels, and perhaps even resort to extreme measures, and he must be prepared to deal with them. (To be continued.) )
