Chapter 83 Plans for School Demolition
"At present, Northeastern University has five colleges: science, engineering, education, liberal arts, and law. The Faculty of Arts has six departments, including Chinese Studies, English, Russian, Philosophy, Psychology, and Historical Studies, with 300 students and more than 40 professors, and the Faculty of Law has three departments of politics, economics, and law, with more than 600 students and more than 20 professors. ”
"The Faculty of Science has four departments: chemistry, physics, astronomy, and mathematics, with more than 250 students and more than 40 professors. The School of Engineering has 6 departments, including mechanical, electrical, civil engineering, mining and metallurgy, architecture and textiles, with more than 500 students and more than 50 professors: the College of Education has the Department of Education of the University Department, and there are 5 specialties of English, Mathematics, Naturalism, Chinese Language and Physical Education, with a total of more than 300 students and more than 20 professors. ”
"This year, the school officially prepared for the establishment of the College of Agriculture, and recruited 70 students in two classes of agricultural preparatory courses during the summer vacation, presided over by experts Liu Guoming, Liu He and other professors: the school has 3,000 students, including 1,612 male students, 1,388 female students, more than 250 professors and staff, and the annual school funding has increased from 500,000 yuan to 1.5 million yuan."
Zhang Xueliang, the president, has already gone to Beiping, and it is still difficult to raise 100,000 Northeast troops in that part of Hebei, Zhang Xueliang can't even take care of the Northeast, and he can't afford to take care of Northeastern University in Fengtian anymore under this situation.
At this time, Liu Xianzhou, who was in charge of Northeastern University, was the former president of Peiyang University, and said with a worried face, "Since the young marshal entered the customs, Northeastern University's funding has been in trouble for a while, and if this goes on for a long time, Northeastern University may be unsustainable." ”
"My little wealth is almost scattered, and now Feng Yong University needs nearly 500,000 yuan a year." Feng Yong smiled bitterly, although the reputation of ruining the family and running a school is good, but the students of Feng Yong University are free, and Feng Yong's financial road is cut off, so he naturally can't support it for too long.
"That's 2 million yuan a year, no matter how hard it is, you have to squeeze out this money. I'll figure out how to deal with money. However, the young marshal is now withdrawing the army to Guannei, and has no intention of reinforcing Fengtian, the main force of the Japanese army is coming one after another, and a single 7th brigade is not enough to hold Fengtian City, the arsenal is ready to relocate, all kinds of machinery are being disassembled, you must also be prepared to move the school, and the matter of foreign students, President Feng and Dean Liu have not? "Not counting the gold that Zhang Xueliang has accumulated over the years, it is the Northeast Bank, and the Bank of China branch is also very considerable, and it is not a problem to support Northeastern University and Feng Yong University, Jiang Li asked.
"What, Fengtian City can't hold it?" Liu Xianzhou exclaimed.
"The fall is a matter of time, and perhaps a certain price will have to be paid, so that the young marshal and Nanjing can clearly see the fact that the League of Nations cannot intervene in Japan's invasion of the Republic of China. It's just that the price is a little too painful. I will try to delay the pace of the Japanese army as much as possible, and you must be prepared to pack up the facilities, books, and teaching equipment of the two universities and prepare for the internal relocation. ”
"If it really comes to this point, I will fully cooperate with Head Jiang to maintain order. In addition, regarding international students, President Feng and I will do our best to promote this matter. Liu Xianzhou nodded sadly, it really came to this point, could Northeastern University, which lacked sufficient financial support, really continue to exist as it does now?
"Well, when that time comes, I will inform Dean Liu and President Feng again, and regarding international students, I suggest that it is best to set up a special international student office in the United States to deal with students' problems, and we will tighten our belts and squeeze out this money, just to send them abroad for further study. It is also necessary to promote their business in the United States, work, and learn real materials to do their efforts. ”
Feng Yong didn't have to worry too much about this, Jiang Li was thinking about how to bring Northeastern University to northern Shaanxi at this time. In the future, as the Japanese army gradually moves south, there is no pure land in the south, so instead of letting thousands of students from Northeastern University wander around, it is better to let them take root in northern Shaanxi as soon as possible and create a happy land for academics in the rear.
Eggs can not be put in a basket, the future of Shaanxi's industrial base talents in addition to those international students, but also based on their own training, ten years of trees, a hundred years of people, although the process is a little harder, but in Shaanxi to establish a relatively complete set of education system is also very necessary, do not have to invest as much as international students, cutting-edge talents to international students, and a huge middle level is to lay the foundation of an industrial scale.
"Congwen, I'm busy in the logistics department of the 7th Brigade, why are you calling me over in such a hurry?" Huang Guodong looked at Jiang Li with some complaint and said, time is extremely precious for the 7th Brigade at this time, and he is also very busy in logistics, if it weren't for Jiang Li, even if he didn't want to call him over so easily.
"I don't doubt my uncle's determination to resist Japan, but the young marshal is kind to his uncle, and there are some things that my uncle can do, but he can't do it. There are some things that we young people have to do. Jiang Li said in a low voice.
"What's so mysterious?" Huang Guodong's tired face also had a hint of interest, and it could be seen that he was also tired a lot in the past few days.
"The young marshal has not moved yet, Fengtian City cannot be defended, I plan to move a large number of machinery in Fengtian in a planned manner, but the direction of the internal relocation is not Guannei, but in northern Shaanxi." Jiang Li said.
"What, Fengtian City can't hold it? Aren't you fighting well now, you have intercepted the rear roads of the Kwantung Army. I heard that the Second Provincial Defense Brigade was incorporated just now, and we also have 10,000 or 20,000 people. Why can't you go to Guannai, go to northern Shaanxi, the road is far away, so many things, hundreds of thousands of tons of grain, there is not enough capacity, I'm afraid it won't be able to be transported in a few months. Huang Xiansheng exclaimed, "Besides, you are not building fortifications on a large scale now, all ash factories and brick factories are operating at full capacity, and now the defense of the front line is the same every day, and it is not easy for the Japanese army to break in." ”
"Our current strength is 10,000 or 20,000 troops, but the Japanese army has already mobilized Korean reinforcements, and the non-resistance of the young marshal and Nanjing has made Japan see the possibility of completely occupying the northeast. Even if the main force of the Kwantung Army is destroyed, it will not help, and it can only delay the time a little. I've survived all the difficult situations before, you think I want to be a deserter? Jiang Li asked rhetorically.
"I believe your words, Fengtian really has no chance of keeping it?" Huang Guodong said with an ugly face.
"If the young marshal doesn't send troops, there will be no chance. The young marshal has no idea, if the machinery is moved to the gate? When the time comes, the Japanese army will go to the Guannai again, won't we be busy in vain, what attitude of the young marshal to the foundation outside the Guan, you have also seen it, these machinery is the material basis of the future War of Resistance, and there is no room for loss, I only ask you one sentence now, do you do this matter or not, you don't do it, I will find someone else! ”
Jiang Li said that looking for Huang Guodong also took a fancy to Huang Guodong's ability to work in logistics during this time, and there were too many people needed to coordinate the large-scale relocation of materials, and he couldn't be too deeply involved with Zhang Xueliang, Jiang Li's foundation was shallow, and there were not too many available people on hand for the time being, so he could only choose from the younger generation like Huang Guodong for the time being. As for those experienced older generations, they may not be dead to Zhang Xueliang until they see the facts thoroughly. But by that time it would have been too late.
