After Liu Yimin adjusted his arrangements, he immediately sent a report to the Nationalist Political Axe in Chongqing and the Military Commission in Wuhan to report the victory. The telegram said: "Chairman of the Republic of China National Political Axe Lin Sen, Chairman of the Military Commission Jiang Jiang: Since the recovery of Taiyuan, our unit has handed over the defense of Taiyuan to Commander Yan Xishan of the Second Theater of Operations, and the whole division has advanced eastward in concealment, and attacked and occupied Tianjin in the early morning of December 24, completely annihilating 6,000 defenders of Tianjin, spies, military police, and other Japanese troops, 3,000 puppet troops, and more than 5,000 casualties of our army. After that, he seized Tanggu and Tangshan, and used six bombers from Tianjin Airport to attack Beiping, Baoding, Shijiazhuang, Jinan, Shanhaiguan, and Shenyang airfields, and blew up the main facilities of the Shenyang Arsenal. A total of about 220 combat planes of the Japanese army were blown up, and four pilots of our army crashed into the tower of the Japanese army's airfield. On 25 December, our ministry held a public trial meeting in Tianjin, and on behalf of the national political axe, we sentenced 450 well-known Han annihilators and spies in North China, including Mao Chuan Hidekazu, who was a captured spy and former head of the Tianjin secret service who fired the first shot in the Lugou Bridge Incident, to death and executed a total of 450 well-known Han annihilators and spies in North China, who participated in the planning of the 918 Incident and the 128 Incident in Shanghai, and assisted Pu Yi and his wife in escaping to the northeast; Yin Rugeng, chairman of the puppet Hebei Autonomous Political Axe Committee of the Eastern Hebei Defense Communist Party, and his minions; Gao Lingwei, chairman of the puppet Tianjin Maintenance Association, and his accomplices. It greatly encouraged the enthusiasm of the people of Tianjin to resist the Japanese and greatly deterred the puppeteers. The success of this campaign depended on the policy of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party of China in uniting to resist the war of resistance among the whole people, and on the fighting spirit of the officers and men who were not afraid of bloodshed and sacrifice. Special report to the National Political Axe and Military Committee. Instructor of the Shaanxi Anti-Japanese Special Administrative Region of the Republic of China. December 26, the 26th year of the Republic of China. ”

After sending the telegram, Liu Yimin, Luo Ronghuan, and Cai Zhong drove to the original Tianjin Municipal Axe to participate in the establishment ceremony of the Tianjin Anti-Ming Cooking Political Axe.

At half past ten o'clock in the morning, the inauguration ceremony of Tianjin's anti-Ming cooking political axe and the inauguration ceremony of Liu Yimin as mayor of Tianjin were officially held.

Liu Yimin, wearing the uniform of the Eighth Route Army and the fur coat that Tang Xingying bought for him in Zhenyuan, Guizhou, delivered a short inaugural speech: "Citizens and compatriots: Tianjin Anti-Ming Cooking Political Axe was officially established today. I was entrusted by my compatriots to serve as the mayor of Tianjin. The central task of the current political axe is to unite and mobilize the broad masses of the people to plunge into the great war of resistance against the Japanese, to drive the Japanese invaders out of Tianjin, and to fight for the complete defeat of the invaders and the establishment of a new China that is open-boiled, equal, prosperous, and prosperous! I would like to solemnly swear here: life will not stop, struggle will not stop, and shed the last drop of blood for the elimination of the invaders and the construction of the people's new Tianjin and New China! ”

After the ceremony, Liu Yimin immediately held a press conference, and after Cai Zhong reported the results of the battle of Tianjin, Liu Yimin answered questions from reporters.

Tianjin was originally the capital of Chinese newspapers and periodicals on a par with Shanghai, and the famous "Ta Kung Pao" and "Yishi Bao" occupied an important position in Tianjin's social life. After the July 7 Incident, the "Ta Kung Pao" and "Yi Shi Bao," which insisted on propagating and resisting the Chinese language, were forced to suspend publication and withdraw to the rear, while "Yong Pao," another major newspaper in Tianjin, was bribed and controlled by the special agents of the Japanese and became an accomplice in the invasion of China. This time, the instructor suppressed the Han and Jian's spies, including the special agents who controlled the "Yong Bao" and Zhang Xunzhi and Jiang Guangtang, who betrayed the "Yong Bao".

Wang Pengju, head of the Propaganda Section of the Political Department of the Instructor, took over Yong Pao, and after eliminating the special agents and the Han Dynasty, he temporarily changed its name to Ta Kung Pao. Tianjin Reconquest Edition", organized editors and reporters to begin to prepare for the normal publication of the newspaper.

Wang Pengju didn't know, he changed "Yong Pao" to "Ta Kung Pao. This issue of the newspaper published by Tianjin Reconquest Edition, because it was too scarce and precious, later became the best collection of old newspapers, a temporarily renamed "Ta Kung Pao. The Tianjin Reconquest newspaper was able to change to a luxury car after a few years.

Wang Pengju first asked the new mayor of Tianjin, Liu Yimin, with his thick Sichuan accent: "Hello, Mayor Liu. I am Wang Pengju, a special correspondent of Ta Kung Pao, and I first congratulate the Eighth Route Army on its recovery of Tianjin, the establishment of Tianjin, the anti-Ming Dynasty, and the liberation of Tianjin, the financial center and foreign trade center of North China. Just now, Mayor Liu said in his inaugural speech in just a few dozen sentences that the central task of the current political axe is to unite and mobilize the masses of the people to fight the war of resistance. Why? ”

Liu Yimin glanced at Wang Pengju and felt that this young man had made rapid progress since joining the Red Army, and he knew how to use his brains when he encountered problems. Because Liu Yimin has answered this question several times, there are many scholars and strategic researchers from China to the world who are answering this question, including ordinary people who will discuss this question. Some scholars who became Han Jian, it was because they couldn't figure out this problem and couldn't see the hope of victory that they became Han Jian. If everyone knew that the war of resistance was bound to be won, and that the Han annihilation would be punished, I am afraid that a considerable number of people would have to consider their own attitudes.

Nodding to Wang Pengju, Liu Yimin replied concisely and clearly: "I have answered many reporters' questions on this question, and I am willing to answer you again, China's war of resistance against Japanese aggression will inevitably be won, and it will be won very thoroughly." During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Chinese people passed the test of war, and they would achieve phoenix nirvana ideologically, ideologically, and spiritually, establish a powerful new China, and step into modernization. On the other hand, you will lose cleanly, and even lose your reading power and sovereignty as a country. Why? I would like to put forward three main points for readers and friends to ponder. First, why did I want to invade China, second, why did I dare to invade China, and third, if the entire Chinese people woke up, rose up to resist the war, and mobilized with arms, and each fallen county eliminated 10 devils every day, would the number of the army be enough for the Chinese to cut with pig-killing knives? Thank you for your question! ”

Wang Pengju fell into deep thought.

Jingjing, as the former deputy editor-in-chief of Shaanxi Daily, attended the press conference, and when she saw that Wang Pengju's question was over, she immediately continued to ask: "Mayor Liu, hello, I am Jingjing, a reporter from Shaanxi Daily. As an outstanding general of our [***] team, Division Commander Liu has set a record of terrifying achievements since he was ordered to go on the expedition. The first question I asked was that last time in Taiyuan, Division Commander Liu offered a reward for resisting and killing devils, and ordinary people, no matter who they are, can get a reward of 5 oceans for killing a devil. The reward is increased step by step, and those who kill more than 100 devils can be awarded the title of people's hero, and the whole family will be provided with food, clothing, housing and transportation for life. I don't know if Master Liu's reward is still valid in Tianjin? ”

Liu Yimin's face was full of smiles: "Reporter Jingjing, I have a suggestion, please publish all the reward conditions I proposed in Taiyuan in the newspapers in Tianjin, and send a press release to the whole country, so that the people of the whole country know about this incentive measure." I assure you that this reward works not only in Shanxi, but also in Tianjin, and throughout China. Whether it is up or down the river, north or south of the Yangtze River, as long as the devil is killed, our instructor is responsible for rewarding him. It is necessary to create a good atmosphere throughout the country in which there is glory in fighting devils, and there are prizes and prizes for fighting devils, and everyone should strive to be a master at killing devils. If one person kills a devil, the whole family is happy. Of course, this does not include the military, who are rewarded by the national political axe. ”

Without waiting for Jingjing to ask the second question, the reporter of "Tianfeng Daily" stood up directly and asked: "Mayor Liu, hello." As an old Tianjin native, I would like to thank you and your comrades-in-arms for recovering Tianjin. My question is, since Division Commander Liu has set out the reward conditions for killing devils, why did the captured Yueben expatriates not be brought to justice after the recovery of Tianjin? Moreover, the troops have to provide them with food and drink every day, knowing that their coming to China is itself a kind of aggression. These people are basically doing bad things in Tianjin. Many readers demanded that all these overseas Chinese should be executed, and that the new mayor of Tianjin, General Liu, be reported through this newspaper that they should be executed in the same way as the Han and Annihilation spies. I wonder if Mayor Liu can meet the reader's request? ”

Liu Yimin looked at the reporter of "Tianfeng Daily" and said slowly: "The vast majority of these expatriates came to China with the pace of the invaders, and many of them have committed crimes on Chinese soil, and a very small number of them may really come to China for academic exchanges or travel. On this issue, I think it should be handled in this way, and resolutely suppress those who have blood debts or cause heavy losses to the Chinese people in accordance with Chinese law. Those who are guilty but do not commit the crime before death are to be punished in accordance with law. For those who have committed relatively minor crimes, we can ask the military to pay a security deposit, that is, to guarantee that they will return to their original roots and not engage in acts of aggression in China, and then release them. It is also necessary to protect a very small number of people who really love Chinese culture and come to China for peaceful exchanges. We will set up a special court to screen and try them in accordance with Chinese law. I know that the army burned and killed silver in China, did all kinds of evil, and committed heinous crimes. Even if we shoot all these overseas Chinese, we will not be able to make up for the losses of our compatriots who have died. However, the Chinese people's war of resistance was a just war, and our army was a righteous army with a prisoner policy and discipline. We can't kill them indiscriminately. I don't know if you're satisfied with my answer? ”

The reporter of "Tianfeng Daily" shook his head and said: "Mayor Liu, what you said is right, but I can't accept it. When Mayor Liu has time, go and see the massacre of the village and the extermination of the town caused by the army in the suburbs of Tianjin, and I think you will change your pedantic opinion. ”

Liu Yimin laughed secretly in his heart, Lao Tzu is pedantic? Lao Tzu can't wait to secretly kill all of these people, isn't this impossible? Thinking in his heart, he kept talking: "By the way, this reporter, there is one thing that you must report, and it is best to send a press release." That is, most of these expatriates do not have a sufficient understanding of the aggressive policy of the army, and they have illusions about the army, believing that the army is a regular army and will not send planes to bomb Tianjin's residential areas, commercial areas, and industrial enterprises. In order to awaken them and understand the brutality of the Japanese army, starting tomorrow, we will bring these expatriates to Tianjin's commercial districts, residential areas, and key enterprises in batches, where they can repent of their sins in China and witness the possible arrival of the Japanese army's aerial bombardment. Of course, if the military plane bombs them by mistake, this political axe will not bear any responsibility. ”

After a little thought, a group of reporters immediately understood the mystery of this, and the audience only listened to the rustling of writing. The reporter of "Tianfeng Bao" immediately said: "Please rest assured Mayor Liu, I will immediately write a press release, guarantee that I will see the newspaper tomorrow, and ensure that Beiping, Shenyang, Shanghai, and Nanjing will all receive the press release in the afternoon." ”

Liu Yimin smiled and said, "Thank you!" ”

A reporter from the "New Tianjin Daily" asked: "Mayor Liu, it is the greatest honor for me to witness the establishment of the Tianjin Anti-Ming Cooking Political Axe and to participate in your press conference. The question I asked is that although we have recovered Tianjin, we are surrounded by Japanese troops, and they will definitely not sit idly by, and will definitely come to attack Tianjin. Do you think we can hold Tianjin? Can Tianjin's anti-Ming cooking political axe exist in Tianjin for a long time? ”

This question immediately attracted the attention of all the reporters, and the scene was silent.

Liu Yimin was also a little melancholy in his heart, if this Tianjin was not a coastal city, it would be great, if it was an inland city like Taiyuan, maybe he would really not be able to occupy it. Thinking of Taiyuan, Liu Yimin's heart was like a knife, leaving Taiyuan was naturally out of strategic considerations, but the bigger reason was that he could not avoid the issue of relations with the Kuomintang and Yan Xishan, and it was a problem that could not be broken up by the united front for the time being. If it weren't for this reason, I'm afraid I wouldn't have left.

Looking up at the reporter of "New Tianjin Daily", Liu Yimin said in a deep voice: "The army must besiege Tianjin on a large scale, and I myself am determined to hold on to Tianjin. However, I will be honest and say that even if I sacrifice under the city of Tianjin, this Tianjin may not be able to be defended. However, I can tell you that although the Tianjin Anti-Ming Cooking Political Axe may not exist in Tianjin for a long time, he is a banner that will always exist in the hearts of the heroes and daughters of Tianjin, and I will fulfill my duty and lead the troops and people to fight to the death against the Yue Kou around Tianjin, until the Yue Kou is completely defeated. I believe that in six or seven years in the long term, or four or five years in the shortest, Tianjin will be completely returned to the hands of the people. At that time, I am willing to work with the people of Tianjin to build a more prosperous, wealthier and more attractive new Tianjin! ”

After Liu Yimin finished speaking, the reporter of "New Tianjin Daily" was already in tears, and choked up and said: "Thank you, Mayor Liu, I am willing to pick up a gun and follow you to fight, and shed blood and sacrifice to defend Tianjin!" ”

After the news conference, Liu Yimin held a forum of representatives from all walks of life in Tianjin and a forum of representatives of industrial and commercial enterprises in Tianjin, explaining to everyone the necessary surnames for mobilizing enterprises to relocate and mobilizing major figures from the cultural, educational, and financial circles who had not had time to retreat to the base areas.

Many progressive teachers, students, and progressive personages have been helping the troops in their work for the past two days, and most of them are willing to leave Tianjin with the army to participate in the anti-Japanese resistance.

Industrial and commercial enterprises are relatively troublesome, because after all, they have to rely on the market to survive, and they also need some of the most basic conditions such as water circuits to run a business. As soon as some enterprises relocate, it is equivalent to temporary closure. Unless the instructor has a solid base now and can let them develop.

Of course, Liu Yimin also knows that some companies are reluctant to move, and it is impossible to move in the short term. For example, in power plants, how can those equipment be moved? However, Liu Yimin's general demand was to destroy the economic resources of the army and wage an economic war with the army. Enterprises that really can't move away should at least hide some of the equipment and take the technicians away, so that they will be anxious to resume the start of the enterprise. In a word, we must not allow myself to use our national industry to support a war of aggression.

Liu Yimin also used the Shenyang Arsenal and some enterprises in Liaoning as analogies, explaining that at least 40 percent of the munitions in the army's war of aggression against China were produced by the Shenyang Arsenal, and that our workers worked overtime for the sake of meager wages, and as a result, the things produced became sharp weapons against our own compatriots, and this tragedy must not be repeated in Tianjin. Then Liu Yimin took Taiyuan as an example to praise the people of Taiyuan for their consciousness, and in order to resist, all the equipment of all factories in Taiyuan was dismantled and transported to the rear. As a result, the army occupied Taiyuan for the second time, and only got an empty city, and even grain and grass supplies had to be transported from Hebei, Northeast and Yueben. It is estimated that it will not be long before the devils in Taiyuan will be hungry. If Tianjin can do the same, then the words of the devils in North China will be sad, and it is likely to accelerate the victory process of the Anti-Japanese War.

Liu Yimin's words shook Tianjin's industrial and commercial circles very much, and fighting an economic war with Yue himself was a new way of thinking, and these business people had a basic IQ, and they immediately started a discussion, and many small enterprises that could move were willing to move, and even those who could not move also expressed their support for the decision to resist the Ming Dynasty's political axe, and were willing to take measures in accordance with the requirements of the Eighth Route Army, at least they had to let the enterprises stop work for a period of time, so that Xiao Yueben was also anxious to get on fire.

Seeing that these industrial and commercial business people were actively surnamed quite high, Liu Yimin told those business owners who couldn't move away that they had to fight with the devils, listen to their own words on the surface, and secretly help the Eighth Route Army, which is called black skin and red heart. Anyone who helped the Eighth Route Army and the [***] resistance will keep an account for everyone, and the compensation that should be given after the victory in the future will be compensated and commended. If he ignores his conscience, betrays his compatriots, and wholeheartedly works for the devil, then I'm sorry, since he can attack and occupy Tianjin this time, he can still do it next time, and those Han Annihilation who were shot are a lesson from the past.

This even frightened those business owners who were unwilling to move or could not move into dough, and said that they would be conscientious Chinese and would definitely find ways to support the Eighth Route Army's resistance.

Seeing that the goal had basically been achieved, Liu Yimin did not say more, and asked all the work teams to work separately according to their own plans, seize time to carry materials and equipment, and make sure to implement the evacuation of Tianjin.
