Chapter 514 Weihai Weiqian (II)

Seeing that the other party did not turn around, he left. Morrison was very pleased, because it meant that the officer was likely to be interviewed by him, so he immediately took out his business card and handed it over.

"Mr. Jiang Yiwu, do you have a business card?"

Jiang Yiwu took the business card, shook his head, and said, "I don't have a business card." You can call me Major. ”

"Mr. Major, may I interview you?"

Morrison hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to open the 'door', because he believed that the other party was a straightforward person who absolutely did not like to be talked about, and instead of using words to tempt, it was better to directly state his purpose for approaching him.

"Interviews? Okay. Do you have smoke? ”

Jiang Yiwu smiled, 'touched' a copper cigarette box from the pocket of his military uniform, opened it and lit it up, and it was already empty.

"Do you 'smoke' a cigar or a cigarette?"

Morrison hurriedly 'touched' a cigar out of his briefcase, which also contained a can of 'refined' paper cigarettes and even a few packets of American candy. Some small British gifts, these are essential equipment for a professional journalist, and can come in handy when it matters most.

"Whatever, cigars are fine."

Jiang Yiwu took the cigar with a smile, then took out a box of matches, handled the cigar very skillfully, and then put it in his mouth and "smoked" a few times.

"Tell me, Mr. Reporter, what do you want to hear?" Jiang Yiwu asked.

Morrison thought about it for a moment, and then asked, "Mr. Major, I have heard that many retired Chinese officers have fought against the Japanese colonial army on the Korean Peninsula in the past two years, as far as you know, are there any such people you know?" ”

Jiang Yiwu snorted and said: "That's right, there are indeed a few officers I know who specially applied for retirement, and then went to North Korea, joined the Korean anti-Japanese guerrillas as Chinese civilians, and fought against the Japanese army, and a few people even died, and few people even knew their names." Of course, having said that, these retired Chinese officers went to Korea to fight against the Japanese army, which was purely a personal act and had nothing to do with the state or government. The accusations of the Japanese are simply unfounded. ”

The first few sentences are good, but the last few sentences have a bit of a 'jade' flavor, which makes Morrison feel a little funny, but he didn't laugh, because this is international politics, one thing in front of one, one thing behind the back, when Britain fought the Boers in South Africa, Germany and France's performance was very representative.

"Mr. Major, do your words imply that in the current Korean Anti-Japanese War, the Chinese military and government did not take effective measures to prevent retired officers from going to Korea to fight the Japanese army?"

Morrisun's question made Jiang Yiwu a little embarrassed for a while, and he realized that the British reporter in front of him was not easy to deal with, this guy was a thorn, no wonder the Chinese naval colonel who led the team suggested that his subordinates "keep their distance" from this person.

Jiang Yiwu came with several naval officers, and although he hung up a signboard of "Liaison Officer of the Far East Peace Commission," his main job was to act as a Korean interpreter, and after spending a year in the Korean guerrilla zone, Jiang Yiwu learned some superficial Korean dialect, and this time the Korean anti-Japanese exiles were transferred internationally. This Korean translation was a big problem, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs turned to the War Department for help, so Jiang Yiwu, who was about to pack up and return to the special operations brigade to report for duty, was pulled by the War Department, put on a navy uniform, and was sent to the "Far East Peace Committee" to act as a liaison.

Due to the large number of Koreans transported, each merchant ship must be equipped with a few officers who can speak Korean to maintain order, when Jiang Yiwu followed the Chinese naval colonel who led the team to get on the ship, the colonel saw Morrison standing on the deck and looking around, so he hurriedly reminded his subordinates to meet Morrison and walk around, because this Australian is very cunning, in order to avoid being tricked by him out of military secrets, it is best to keep a distance from him.

But Jiang Yiwu doesn't believe in this evil, in his opinion, isn't he just a foreign reporter, he has also been baptized in the war, the Japanese army is not afraid of artillery, machine guns, and is afraid of a small foreign reporter? But think about it so, but Jiang Yiwu has never found a chance to compete with Morrisun, he has been busy mediating disputes between Koreans everywhere, these exiles have been on the battlefield, and they have a bad temper, plus they are about to go into exile overseas, and they don't know when they will be able to return to China, therefore. Often a small friction can cause a tense confrontation, and at this time, an interpreter like Jiang Yiwu is needed to play, otherwise, relying on the drunken crew or the British officers with their eyes on top of their heads will only make the situation out of control.

Fortunately, now that he is about to enter the port, the North Koreans in the cabin have come out to let off steam, Jiang Yiwu is busy sneaking around, occasionally looking up, seeing Morrison leaning against the bridge, feeling idle is also idle, so he came up to follow a few tricks with Morrison, to see what the foreign reporter has to make a naval colonel dodge, and his cigarette is also 'smoked', to see if he can fight the autumn breeze here in this Australian, so he "inadvertently" walked onto the bridge, and in order to attract Morrisun's attention, He even whistled deliberately, and he did it without incident.

As a result, within a few moves after this battle, Jiang Yiwu found himself falling into Morrison's interview trap, and the other party changed his methods to test the role played by the Chinese central government and the military in the Korean Anti-Japanese War, which was simply blatant.

Jiang Yiwu is a little reckless. But there are many eyes in this heart, seeing Morrison ask such a question, he knows that this interview may have to end immediately, because if it continues, it will be suspected of leaking secrets, and he will go to a military tribunal, although he heard that Mr. President will personally award Major Jiang Yiwu with a medal, but a medal is not equal to a gold medal for avoiding death, and the military tribunal does not care whether you are intentional or not, as long as you violate military discipline. That's iron-faced ruthlessness.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yiwu hurriedly threw away the cigar in his hand, pointed to the Weihai Weijun Port, which was getting closer and closer, and said: "I'm sorry, Mr. Morrison, I'm about to enter the port, I have to go and arrange it, those Koreans have a bad temper, if they get to the military port to fight, then there will be a look, if the British use this as an excuse to transfer the refugee transit station to Yantai, then we soldiers are derelict in their duties and have to go to a military court." Well, let's talk about it later, and we'll talk about it later. ”

Before he could finish speaking, he turned around and fled the bridge in a puff of smoke.

"A cunning officer."

Morrison commented so, but since the other party had seen through his tricks, then he was not reluctant, but he did understand the change in Jiang Yiwu's attitude, after all, the rumors of China's support for the Korean anti-Japanese guerrillas were not confirmed by the great powers, although the Japanese newspapers had already clamored that it was the Chinese who provoked this war, but as an important part of international politics, neither the Entente group nor the Allied group made public political statements on this issue.

At present, almost the whole world is speculating about the role of the Chinese and Russian governments in the great anti-Japanese uprising in Korea, but the governments of various countries are pretending to be deaf and dumb, and this is the trickery of international politics.

"International politics is unpredictable and deceitful, and there is both cooperation and confrontation between countries, and even allies must have their own interests as the sole policy starting point, and it is clear that China and Russia are the only key players in the anti-Japanese movement of the North Koreans. Because only these two countries can extract benefits and benefits from the turbulent situation on the Korean Peninsula, for Russia, once Japan is caught in the quagmire of war on the Korean Peninsula, then the pace of Japanese expansion in Manchuria will be temporarily delayed, while Russia can use this time to consolidate their control over the northern part of Manchuria and further spy on the interests of the southern part of Manchuria, in the Russo-Japanese War seven years ago, Japan took that vast area from Russia and terminated Russia's ' Yellow Russia's 'Fans' dreams.

As far as China is concerned, once Japan is dragged into the quagmire of war on the Korean Peninsula, then China will extract more benefits from this situation than Russia, and in the past two years, we can all see the great achievements made by this country in industrial construction and commercial development, although this achievement is inseparable from the support of Germany and the United States, but we must also admit that the outbreak of the anti-Japanese movement in Korea has created a relatively peaceful international environment in the Far East for this development. As a result of being dragged down by the Korean War against Japan, the Japanese government simply did not have enough 'spirit' to concentrate on Chinese affairs, and once Japan, the only power in the Far East, lost its interest in restricting the development of China's industry, then China's industry would look for every possible opportunity to develop and grow in the cracks between the commercial competition and trade confrontation of the great powers, and finally realize the dream of all patriots in this country, that is, to put the motherland on the road to becoming a strong country.

Readers familiar with my reporting style may remember the bold prediction I made in my reporting two years ago, when I showed you the strong determination and will of the people of this country, and at that time, like you, I never expected that the 'Far Eastern madman' Commander-in-Chief Zhao would so quickly grasp the central power of this country, and the political means and extras he showed after coming to power I thought that it might take decades for the country to really get rid of its backwardness, but now it seems that if the president can maintain his current level of political and military capabilities, then the country may soon be able to get out of its current backwardness.

Of course, for a country that has lagged behind the world for hundreds of years, it is not enough to rely on a strong and wise leader, and the national fortune is also crucial in the process of the rise of a great power, and now the world situation is becoming increasingly tense, the smell of fire in Europe is getting stronger and stronger, and the United States has been isolated from the world strategy, if Europe really breaks out into a large-scale war because of the conflict in the Balkans, perhaps, it is good news for the rise of China, and the same is true for Japan.

Understanding this, perhaps we can understand the basic position of the Chinese on the Korean issue, moreover, they have obviously partially achieved their goal, in this crisis in Northeast Asia, Japan has indeed been dragged to exhaustion, without a period of respite, Japan can not recover its national strength, and because the war has saddled the Japanese government with heavy foreign debt, Japan's economy has also been struggling, compared with the dull Japanese market, the great powers seem to be more optimistic about China's market potential, and this, It can also be seen as one of the benefits that China has gained from the crisis in North Korea and Northeast Asia. ”

Morrison leaned against the railing of the bridge, carefully drafting the press release, and before he could finish writing, the merchant ship had already sailed into Weihaiwei Harbor and anchored at a remote spare dock.

Since it is a military port, it is not a casual way to go in and wander around, the British have set up a guard at the wharf, all the Korean anti-Japanese exiles will be placed in the designated place, and then screened, according to their wishes to decide where to go, in fact, at the beginning, the British suggested that Yantai west of Weihaiwei as a refugee transit station, but was strongly opposed by the Chinese, and finally, the British government had to agree to Weihaiwei as a refugee transit station———— must be recognized, "Northeast Asian crisis" In order to appease the Japanese government, the British government even ignored the opposition of the Chancellor of the Exchequer and used the government as a guarantee for the Japanese government to raise international public bonds.

Morrison was looking at the situation on the dock when he suddenly heard Jiang Yiwu's shout.

"Mr. Morrison, it looks like you have big news to cover again."

Mr. Major stood under the bridge with a copy of the telegram in his hand.

"What's the news?" Morrison hurried off the bridge.

"Europe is at war!"

Mr. Major looked a little elated, which annoyed Morrison, but annoyed by annoyance, and Morrison really couldn't blame an Asian officer for gloating over the start of war in Europe, after all, he was right.

Europe did go to war.
