Chapter 362: The Jews Come (Part II)
The suburbs of Hanjing, the martyr's garden.
Yi Fu Lahim didn't know if it was for the Chinese to see, or sincerely. Personally lay a wreath for each martyr. For this reason, he basically swept all the flower shops in Hanjing City to get so many flowers.
This was his third day in Hanjing, and yesterday an official of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs took him to visit several major places of interest in Hanjing. From the ruins of the Old Summer Palace to the Great Wall, he basically walked all over.
And today he himself asked to pay homage to the martyrs who showed up for this country, and the Chinese side also agreed. When he offered to lay wreaths to these martyrs, Zhonghua also sent people to buy flowers for him. Otherwise, he alone would not have been able to complete the laying of wreaths for every martyr in a short time.
The Martyrs' Mausoleum has always been a very solemn place in the Chinese Empire, covering a large area in the suburbs of nearly 100 kilometers away from the city of Hanjing. Today, all the soldiers who have died from the Southwest period to the present day are laid to rest here. And this place is also guarded by those disabled veterans, guarding the peace of their comrades.
However, it has not been quiet here, and many people come here every day to pay their respects to these martyrs. Every Qingming Festival, Chen Shao and all high-ranking government officials will come here to hold solemn sacrifices. Mourn the fallen soldiers and remember their heroic deeds. Worshipping the martyrs has become a tradition, and many outsiders who come to Hanjing will also come here to walk around and listen to the veterans introduce the deeds of these soldiers to them.
After the battle on the Sino-Soviet border, there were more than 2,000 more tombstones here. Each tombstone is engraved with the heroic deeds of the martyrs for future generations to pay respects. And their names will also be engraved with a monument to the heroes, forever standing in front of Chengtianmen Square, bathed in the morning sun.
Yi Fu Lahim was one of the few foreigners who came to worship, and no matter what his intentions, his actions still won the favor of many Chinese.
Today, he has not left this place all day, and he has spoken to every veteran who is guarding here in fluent Chinese. Hear about their battle deeds and don't leave until after nightfall.
And before he left, he said: "I envy those heroes who rest here, when will we also have a resting place for the souls of the Jews." ”
Two days ago, when Yi Fu Lahim learned that Chen Shao was going to meet him in person, he was very excited. But then he said that the meeting would be two days later, and he was a little anxious, because every second that passed, so many Jews died. But he was helpless, the emperor wanted to meet him in person for an interview, which was already a very high treatment. Besides, people are very busy, and it's okay to wait for two days.
On the first day of playing, the landscape was very beautiful, his interest was not very high, when they watched the ruins of the Old Summer Palace, he had the mind to really see, here witnessed the rise and fall of this ancient oriental country. And the next day, he asked to go to the martyr's mausoleum, and in his opinion, everyone who loves his country, whether poor or rich, no matter what status, is worthy of everyone's respect. He saw how difficult it is for a country to rise.
On the third day, the fourth day after he came to Hanjing, Chen Shao finally met him in person at Zhong Nanhai.
In these three days, it was not calm, following the Chinese evacuation of overseas Chinese, another incident was published in the mainstream media of countries outside the Axis countries.
Britain, France, Canada, the United States, and a series of other countries all published an article titled: Jews Living in the German Occupation Zone. Concentration camps, manhunts, and many other hidden problems were exposed in addition to the massacre.
The plight of the Jews was so appalling that many Americans even asked the U.S. government to join the war to stop the tragedy from happening. And Nazi Germany was also branded as a crime against humanity, calling the Germans the executioners of humanity.
The Jews who had been able to sit still couldn't calm down now, and even Yi Fu Lahim began to get anxious again, because it was not the first time he had received a message from the Jewish organization, asking him to reach an agreement with China as soon as possible.
In fact, before the Jews found China, they did not go to the United States, but also sought the huge Rothschild family at that time, hoping to get the US Congress to agree to save the Jews for the sake of the face of the Jews. However, they were disappointed by the fact that the Rothschilds were Jews, but they did not heed the demands of the Jewish organization. Rothschild had previously supported Germany, so he did not agree to Jewish organizations.
The Confederates were not very fond of Jews either, and there was no way for Jewish organizations to go to them. The Chinese evacuation attracted the attention of Jewish organizations, and it was then that they learned that there was another country in the world that could save the Jews. Although the country had good relations with Germany, the Jews believed that China would accede to the Jews' request if they offered sufficient benefits. Moreover, the Jews also hope that China will agree to lend a helping hand when the two peoples have suffered a lot in common in the past.
China has also become the last straw for the Jews, and now the United States does not agree, and if China does not agree again, then the Jews will have to find their own way.
No one else was present for the meeting between the two except the recorder.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor of the East, you are more majestic in reality than in photos and films, and you also have the temperament of the lord of a country." When Yi Fu Laxin saw Chen Shao in reality, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion. In his opinion, even those nobles in Western countries who have had a good education since childhood are not as temperamental as this emperor, or rather, the two sides are not products of the same class at all.
"As a representative of the World Jewish Organization, Mr. Ifrahim also has an aristocratic demeanor." Chen Shao continued: "I don't know about your intentions, and there's no need to beat around the bush, so I'll cut straight to the topic." ”
Chen Shao's directness made Yi Fu Laxin a little uncomfortable, according to his thoughts, first to compliment, and then slowly talk about business. However, he did not lose his temper, and thought: "Don't drag the mud and water, is this the secret of the success of the Chinese?" It is indeed very efficient to save time and do the right thing directly, and it seems that we will learn more in the future, and this method is worth learning. ”
"Your Majesty the Emperor, I have come this time in the hope that your country will lend a helping hand to save the Jews of Europe. As you may already know, countless Jews die at the hands of the Germans every day. Please see that we have cooperated with your Longteng Group for many years, and help us Jews. Yi Fu Laxin got up and bent down to Chen Shao and pleaded.
"I have heard a saying: in the United States, the ** party belongs to the Morgan family, the Republican Party belongs to the Rockefeller family, and the Rockefeller family and the Morgan family both belong to the Rothschilds! And the Rothschilds are also Jews, I wonder why, the World Jewish Organization does not go to the United States, but to us? Chen Shao said lightly.
Chen Shao's words made Yi Fu Laxin a little stunned, he didn't expect Chen Shao to talk about it. But what's there to ask, if Rothschild agrees, does he need to come here to ask for China?
"Your Majesty the Emperor, to tell you the truth, we have been rejected by the United States. They simply agreed that we could emigrate over, but refused to lend a hand and help us get the Jews out of Europe. And with our strength, there is no way to save so many Jews in Europe. That's why I came here to beg China to lend a hand. Yi Fu Rahin did not hide it, because he knew very well that the other party wanted to know these things, and there were countless ways, and concealing them would only make the other party disgusted.
"Since you say so, I will hear how you will persuade me to accede to your request. You Jews are the best businessmen in the world, and you know the preciousness of time. Time is precious to me, and now I'm going to give you five minutes to persuade me. Once five minutes have passed, and I still can't impress me, then I can only end the conversation, and the timer will start now. Chen Shao said.
Yi Fu Lahim didn't expect that this emperor would still play this kind of game. He came for three days, and he got five minutes, which made him feel quite sorry in his heart. But he can't help it, the initiative is not in his hands, five minutes are fleeting, he must hurry.
"We Jews have the best scientists in the world, the best skilled workers in the world, many companies and consortia, and a lot of wealth. As long as your country helps us, we will use our ability to help China and bring China's industry and economy to a higher level. "Ivu Rahim offered the first price, which he believed was not low.
However, Chen Shao was still indifferent, these things are not lacking in China now. Biochemical scientists are not only loyal, but also have no bad skills. There is no shortage of skilled workers in China, and the ability of engineers is stronger than that of any skilled worker in the world. Moreover, in the more than 20 years of education construction, a large number of graduates from technical colleges and universities have been produced every year. Therefore, whether it is quality or quantity, China is not lacking now.
Money is such a thing as a thing, no one is lacking. Chen Shao was no exception, the only thing he liked was the money of the Jews, and he didn't care about anything else.
Seeing that Chen Shao's old god was there, Yi Fu Laxin thought for a while and said again: "We can let Yicheng scientists and technicians work in China for free, and carry out more comprehensive cooperation with your country's Longteng Group in financial aspects in the world's trade." ”
Business cooperation, Chen Shao doesn't care much about this now, and now Longteng Group has monopolized many kinds of commodities in the world, and they are all high-end products. From small electrical appliances to automobiles and airplanes, there is no consortium in the world that can compare with Longteng Group. In the field of economic finance, Longteng Group only carries out small-scale cooperation with foreign countries, and there are many things that cannot be known to outsiders, if there is no reason for this, perhaps Chen Shao will be very interested.
Yicheng scientists and technicians, even if they are unpaid work, are not attractive to Chen Shao. Regarding Yi Fu Laxin's second proposal, Chen Shao did not speak.
