Chapter 145: A speech that shocked the world

Hitler still had to save face, at least in front of his countrymen, and he had to say that the past was not, so he concocted an excuse as a reason to send troops. But what about Stalin? The leader of this world revolution, who has always claimed to want to liberate all mankind, is not even troublesome to find a decent reason to invade the territory of another country. Maybe he couldn't find it at all, let alone justify himself on this issue, so he didn't need to find a suitable reason, anyway, he just hit it. Therefore, in terms of the shameless Cheng dù, Stalin was stronger than Hitler.

If the Soviet Union's dispatch of troops to Poland is merely shameless, then the subsequent Katyn tragedy created by the Soviet government is not shameless and can be evaluated. In the spring of 1940, about 22,000 Polish soldiers, intellectuals, politicians, public officials, and other Polish social elites were systematically killed by Soviet troops in the Katyn Forest, Kalinin and other places under the Soviet Union, and a total of about 22,000 Poles were killed, including more than 4,000 in the Katyn Forest. In 1943, Nazi Germany, which found the bodies of Poles, claimed that the killing was the work of the Soviet Union, which the Soviet Union denied.

Well, history itself is a master of satire! What is even more ironic is that in the process, the Soviets distributed a large number of leaflets, telling the Polish soldiers to turn their guns and attack the landlords and capitalists. And said that the Soviet army came to help Poland fight Germany, and there was really a part of the Polish army who believed it, who would have thought that the Katyn tragedy would happen at that time?

After 1 September, frequent diplomatic contacts began between the Soviet Union and Finland, with Stalin and Molotov personally in battle. Finland was asked of a number of requests "for its own strategic security". Standing in the position of the leader of a country, I am afraid that no one will agree to these requests. Soviet-Finnish negotiations are still ongoing. Soviet bombers began to bomb the Finnish border in order to exert pressure. On 23 October, the Finnish government made some concessions, but failed to meet the demands of the Soviet government, and negotiations broke down. A sovereign State makes a territorial claim to another sovereign State on the grounds of its own security, and when it refuses, it prepares for a military invasion.

November 3rd. The Government of Finland sent a note to the Government of the Soviet Union that "it is not possible to agree to the stationing of foreign troops on Finnish territory or to the use of Finnish territory as a naval base in any way." These actions are incompatible with Finland's sovereignty, extreme international status and strict neutrality. "On 13 November, the Finnish negotiating delegation left Moscow.

November 26th. Molotov sent a note to the Finnish minister, stating that Soviet troops were shelled from Finnish territory, as a result of which 4 people were killed and 13 were wounded. Finnish troops stationed in the Karelian Gorge were required to withdraw 20-25 km from the border. The Finnish Cabinet responded. If there is no such thing, the Finnish army can retreat according to the request of the Soviet army, but the Soviet army should also retreat to the corresponding distance.

Two days later, Molotov sent a note to the Finnish minister, saying that Finland was hostile to the Soviet Union and that he was using this as a pretext to annul the 1932 Su-Finnish non-aggression pact. On November 30, Soviet troops crossed the border. The Soviet-Finnish war broke out.

The Chinese government, which has always been concerned about the world situation, after September 1939. High-level meetings are frequently held to discuss how to deal with international situations. Under the strong will of Fang Jianxiong and the resolute support of the Gu Weijun cabinet, the Chinese government and the National Assembly have reached a basic consensus that world war is inevitable. The Chinese government temporarily declared neutrality during the war, but in order to prevent possible aggression, the National Assembly passed a series of bills on military spending and national debt. On 15 September, the Ministry of Finance officially issued 500 million yuan in naval bonds, and on 20 September, announced the issuance of 500 million yuan in army bonds and 500 million yuan in air force bonds.

Finance Minister Song Ziwen said at a press conference that in the past world economic crisis, the country invested in infrastructure to stimulate domestic demand to revitalize the economy, and now the world pattern is turbulent.

A series of bonds were ridiculed by the opposition Kuomintang (KMT), and some unscrupulous literati who relied on their hard pen words made insulting remarks in the newspapers, saying that the government knew about issuing bonds when something happened, and that it was necessary to know that the war was still far away, and what was the purpose of such an impatient armament? This can only arouse the uneasiness of neighboring friendly countries, and want to put the country in war.

On the 21st, at Shanghai Railway Station, at four o'clock in the morning, the train slowly entered the station. Coming off the train was Song Ziwen, who had been on the train for 15 hours, Shanghai is the richest place in the country, and the first stop for bond issuance, so it is very important whether this first shot can be fired. Song Ziwen is not at ease if he does not come to sit in person. Originally, Fang Jianxiong built yì, allowing large domestic enterprises to take the lead in subscribing, bringing up this momentum. But Song Ziwen said to Fang Jianxiong: "President, I understand your intentions very well, but over the years, whether it is Europe and Asia, or the north, it has exported too much for the country." The Eurasian bloc alone holds nearly 10 billion yuan in government bonds. This time, I just want to see if the government bonds can be sold without the presence of these large companies. Just to verify that in recent years, the country and the people have been safe, and the people's hearts have been towards the government. The rumors of some people who jumped off the beam, in the face of the support of the Chinese people for the government, are naturally self-defeating, and Ziwen is very confident. ”

said that he was very confident, but in fact, Song Ziwen had no confidence in his heart. After getting off the train, I immediately went to the Shanghai branch of the Bank of China on Nanjing Road, because of the geographical location, the Nanjing Road branch must be the most crowded in the upcoming treasury bond sales.

There was something in his heart, and Song Ziwen didn't fall asleep on the train, he kept thinking about it. In the early morning, there was no one on the road, the car drove very fast, and Nanjing Road was not far away, which was a matter of ten minutes. After the car started, the rickety Song Ziwen took a nap, and suddenly the car stopped in a daze, and Song Ziwen was awakened.

"What's going on?" Stared at the driver and asked the driver, the secretary sitting in the front row pointed to the road excitedly, and said tremblingly: "Minister, please see." "It's not yet dawn, and the street lights on the road are dim. Song Ziwen, who got out of the car, couldn't help but tremble slightly, for the scene he saw in front of him.

A long queue of people, I don't know when it started, has appeared at the door of the Bank of China. The people in line seemed patient, and many of them whispered conversations and laughed from time to time, in this dimly lit morning. These sounds are refreshing.

"Nong is here! Allah thought he was early enough to wake up. ”

"The days of foreign devils running rampant in Shanghai have long passed, and the country has been peaceful for 20 years, all thanks to the strength of the army. Nowadays, in order to defend the country, the army is bought with equipment. You go and ask, who didn't get up early in the morning. ”

"Xiaolongbao, porridge, eat for free without money." A peddler pushes a cart and slowly moves along the crowd. From time to time, there are people in line who want to give money after eating breakfast, and when they quarrel in the second.

"It's not easy for you to earn this little money, take it." "Allah is not rich. But you get up early in the morning to buy government bonds to support the country, and I also want to do something for the country. ”

Listening to these voices, watching the long human dragon stretch as far as the eye can see. Song Ziwen couldn't help but want to look up to the sky and laugh, but in the end he endured it and told the driver to take a detour and quietly go to the bank from the back door.

When the sky is bright. The door to the bank opened. The staff who came out of it set up a tea stall and apologized to the people in line while busy: "I'm sorry, it's too late, so I can only prepare some boiling water." You're waiting for a hurry, right? Banks opened at 6 a.m. this morning and opened early. ”

At six o'clock, the Bank of China on Nanjing Road opened its door and officially offered treasury bonds. The long queue of people was photographed by a reporter who declared. Rush to the printing house in the morning and postpone the printing. Reformatted to include photos and text news.

"At this moment, we are all Chinese!" The big headline is in bold type, which looks as thick as a mountain, and the entire front page is occupied by this report and photos. The photo shows a long dragon of people in the morning with a heavy caption.

Of the 1.5 billion yuan in treasury bonds, 500 million yuan will be put on sale in Shanghai, and the other 1 billion yuan will be shared among the whole country. Shanghai, which has a population of 8 million, has stunned the whole country and even the whole world in this procurement of treasury bonds to support the state's armaments.

The calm and orderly flow of people, in and out of the bank, everyone seems to be very calm, without the impetuousness of the past. On the contrary, the police were like a great enemy, and many policemen came early to maintain order. It's a pity that this time the police are destined to act as spectators, and the people who buy treasury bonds, one by one, are not in a hurry, and there is no chaos at the scene.

According to statistics, on the 21st alone, the Bank of China on Nanjing Road sold 150 million yuan in treasury bonds, and the 38 branches of the Bank of China in Shanghai sold all 500 million yuan in bonds in one day. There was even a scene where many people queued up to buy bonds, and the people of Shanghai were angry on this day!

What happened in Shanghai on this day was reprinted and reported by newspapers all over the country. The first newspaper of the Republic of China, the "Republic of China Times", quoted the photo of the declaration and wrote: 500 million national bonds are less than a day's needs. The state has such a people, how can it not prosper? The spirit of unity of the 550 million compatriots has been fully embodied in the people of Shanghai. We have every reason to believe that any aggressor who covets China will be filled with fear of this country and nation when they see this scene.

After the outbreak of the Soviet-Finnish war, the Finnish government issued a letter to the world. Countries around the world reacted strongly, and US President Roosevelt strongly condemned the Soviet Union, saying that he would sanction the Soviet Union on trade and impose an embargo on the Soviet Union. At the same time, a loan of 30 million to Finland was allowed, allowing Finland to owe the United States. The move drew international applause and was not mentioned. Britain and France provided 276 planes and 710 artillery pieces, and formed a coalition to help Poland grind their tongues, in fact, neither country was willing to go to war with the Soviet Union.

In other words, the USSR and Germany at this time were really in a gang, at least that's how they looked at it in Western countries. Moreover, the Anglo-French coalition proposed to enter Finland through Sweden and Norway, a route that Hitler could not accept at all. It really allowed the Anglo-French alliance to gain a foothold in Norway, and the Swedish iron ore that Germany needed was cut off. Isn't this asking for Hitler's own life? It is also strange to say that Britain and France can obviously take the sea route, but they don't, and they have to go through Norway and Sweden. It can be seen that Sima Zhao's heart can be regarded as annoying Germany this time. Germany exerted pressure, and Norway and Sweden were so frightened that they quickly declared neutrality and refused to allow the armies of any country to use it. Finland pinned its hopes on the League of Nations, but the Soviet Union did not buy it at all, and the League of Nations asked the Soviet Union to hold a meeting, and the Soviet Union directly stated that there was no war between the Soviet Union and Finland. In a fit of rage, the League of Nations dismissed the Soviet Union, but the Soviet Union did not take it seriously at all, and TASS published an article saying that the League of Nations had turned from a certain instrument of peace into a real tool of war and a weapon of the Anglo-French bloc.

The Soviet-Finnish war continued, and at this time, the eyes of the whole world were quite normal and began to shift to the East. Because in the East, there was a country capable of threatening the USSR, and this country has not made a clear statement after the outbreak of the Soviet-Finnish war. This is not normal, very abnormal. When the Soviet Union invaded Poland, the guy surnamed Fang jumped out to speak, why didn't he jump a few times when he invaded Finland? This is so unscientific.

On December 14, the day the Soviet Union was expelled from the League of Nations, Fang Jianxiong, who had been silent, finally came forward. President Fang Da made an important statement to the world in the broadcasting hall of the China Broadcasting Corporation.

This speech was unanimously recognized by the media around the world: I saw Fang's unique humorous way.

"I stand here today and confess to those of you who can hear this speech all over the world that what has happened in the world in recent times has made me feel that my IQ is not enough. Yes, anxious about your IQ! Why? Because recently something has happened in Europe that I simply can't understand. Two sovereign States, protected by international conventions, have been invaded by the same neighbouring country. The first was Poland, which was invaded on the grounds that the government no longer existed. The second was Finland, which was invaded because of hostility to a neighboring country a hundred times stronger than Finland.

I can't figure out how these two countries are being forced to go to war. Even if I think of these two countries 10,000 times worse, I can't find a country that is adjacent to it and brazenly sends troops to its neighbors without the slightest possibility of being threatened. Who gave this power to the country? The answer is yes, no one gives power to the country!

Remember that in 1919 I said that human society gave birth to one of the most evil nations, and there was no one. At present, I still think that the Chinese Government absolutely cannot accept the Soviet Government's unwarranted invasion of neighboring countries. I ask the Soviet government, under the pretext of your own national security, you invaded your neighbors who remained neutral. So, could China invade the Soviet Union on the grounds of national security?

Now I am officially issuing a strong warning to the Soviet Government that within 24 hours all Soviet troops must withdraw from the territory of Finland and Poland. Otherwise, the squadron would have entered the territory of the USSR under the same pretext. Hereby, I solemnly declare that the National Assembly has granted me the power to declare war on a country that may endanger China's security. It's not a joke, it's serious!

Now I officially announce that the Republic of China has entered a state of general mobilization! Because our country may be threatened! (To be continued......)
