"The national army, why is it a bandit?! Remembering the robbery of the Shandong National Defense Army" This is a report by the Central News Agency, and the "Declaration" is based on the title "Why is the halo of the National Defense Army broken?!" Hundreds of people went to Beijing to cry out for injustice! 》。

"Ta Kung Pao" is quite polite, and their title is "Disaster Relief?!" Or a warlord robbery".

Without exception, these newspapers caused a sensation, and with the help of well-meaning people in the national government, those big families were received by the president, and the Central News Agency announced that it would report the whole process.

At the same time, the government held a press conference. Presided over by Chen Zuyan, Director of the Organization Department of the Central Committee of the State Government, Minister Chen denounced the behavior of the National Defense Force as "in the name of relief, but in fact it hurts the people"! He also called on the Wehrmacht to "respect the government and immediately withdraw from Kannai." The relief can be handed over to the government and the local government for implementation. The Defence Force, on the other hand, can send its officers to participate in the relief. ”

I have to say that the rhetoric that Jiang Zhongzheng and his henchmen have consulted is extremely deceptive. As far as the Wehrmacht is concerned, no matter how much he can justify, he is still directly under the Nanking government.

It is strange that a local government should carry out nationwide disaster relief. However, this is nothing under all kinds of strange things in the Republic of China. In the eyes of many, the demands made by the Nanjing government are also "reasonable".

After all, if the army is dispatched, then this kind of behavior is already like a warlord. In a country that has just ended the melee of various warlords, this has undoubtedly touched the nerves of many people. The government's reference to the government's disaster relief is supervised by the National Defense Force.

In the eyes of many, this is a viable option, but unfortunately, naïve journalists and literati do not know. Who of those government officials ever cared about the lives and deaths of the victims?! What they want is the right to distribute the grain!

As long as the distribution is in their hands, then it's not up to them to have the final say?! As for the victims...... They are going to die after all. As long as the land remains, there will still be people who will cultivate it.

In fact, this was the undeclared attitude of the Nanking government, which was later recorded by an American journalist. Later, during the Great Famine in Henan, American journalist Bai Xiude decided to work with his friend, Times reporter Harrison. Foreman traveled to Henan to see what was going on there.

The two foreigners were stunned by the hellish spectacle of the Henan Shura: an endless contingent of refugees, ready to collapse from cold, hunger, or exhaustion; The hungry who seek everything to swallow to eat, and die because of it; Packs of wild dogs, regained their wolf nature, devoured dead bodies with impunity. Some of those corpses were even their original owners......

The most shocking thing is that the mother cooks her own child and the father cooks and eats his own child...... Some families sell everything in exchange for the last full meal, and then the whole family commits suicide......

Bai Xiude is out of anger; Instead of doing anything, the government has intensified its exploitation of the victims.

The army requisitioned all the grain from the peasants, and the warehouses were filled with surplus grain, which the officers of the government resold on the black market to enrich themselves. Churches and honest officials had to pay high prices to buy food from the black market for disaster relief.

On March 22, 1943, Bai Xiude's report "Waiting for the Harvest" was published in Time magazine in the United States. The incident almost drove the first lady of fundraising in the United States, as she was planning to win American aid. And obviously this kind of report is extremely unfavorable to her and Jiang Zhongzheng's plan!

As a result, Bai Xiude was able to meet Jiang Zhongzheng, but Jiang Zhongzheng "listened to me with an obvious look of boredom on his face." He told Chiang about the starvation of the victims, and the scandalous acts of officials in collecting taxes and extortion.

Jiang Zhongzheng denied this at first, but when Bai Xiude took out a large number of photos of the scene, "the commander-in-chief's legs began to shake slightly, and he twitched a little nervously." ”

Jiang Zhongzheng asked about the origin of the photo, asked the names of many officials, and wrote down a notebook and Mao notes, showing his determination to rectify this matter.

"It is true that some people have been punished, impeached, and even lost their heads," such as the dispatcher at the Luoyang Telegraph Office who sent Bai Xiude's article to the United States. He was charged with "leaking secrets". Executed.

In Jiang Zhongzheng's view, Henan was the main battlefield of the competition between the Chinese and Japanese armies, rather than a relatively stable rear, and he was ready to abandon Henan at any time. Therefore, he put forward the slogan of "not allowing grain to feed the enemy", and on the one hand swept up the peasants in Henan, and on the other hand, he was ready to abandon the whole of Henan at any time.

It was along this logic that he ordered the explosion of the Yellow River embankment at the mouth of the garden in 1938. Or we can think of it this way -- in the mind of the chairman, those hungry people, disaster victims, and peasants are not human beings. It's just a weed that can be sacrificed at will.

Does Jiang Zhongzheng really not know about the disaster area? Zhang Zhonglu, a graduate of Columbia Business School and then director of the Henan Provincial Department of Construction, told the truth a few years later.

In the summer of 1942, when the disaster in Henan first appeared, Jiang Zhongzheng received a secret report from the military. He rushed to Xi'an as soon as possible to convene an urgent "forward military rations meeting". At the meeting, Jiang Zhongzheng announced that Henan's military ration quota for this year had been reduced to 2.5 million stone -- and it had not been waived.

After Jiang Zhongzheng announced the reduction of Henan's military ration quota, the Minister of Food, Xu Kan, changed 2.5 million stone to 2.5 million bales. A stone of wheat is about 140 catties, and a bag is about 200 catties.

Lu Yuwen, director of the Henan Grain Administration Bureau, who can exceed the task of collecting military rations, has been praised by Jiang Zhongzheng! In fact, these all illustrate the attitude of the national government, or Mr. Jiang Zhongzheng, towards the famine and disaster victims.

Tu Qianjun, who was in Mukden, also saw the report on the same day that these newspapers were issued. He sneered and tossed the newspapers aside. Put on his military hat and left the office to inspect, he believed that Liang Dashan and they would eventually take care of these things.

If it really doesn't work, Tu Qianjun will naturally act in person! Do you think those cubs around the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Eastern Three Provinces are eating dry food?! If Liang Dashan's group of deflated calves can't handle you, he will throw a depth charge! Blow you all up!

Just when the Black Defense Army, Black Manchuria, and even planned to hack Tu Qianjun, the big bomb carefully prepared by Liang Dashan and Harrett for the national government was finally detonated!

The front page headlines of the "New York Times" and even occupied the entire page of "The Middle Ages, perhaps a more tragic life drama than the Middle Ages -- A Record of Real Life in Shandong" detonated the entire American society one after another!

Although most people are not aware of this report. But the government naturally has consuls in the United States. The consuls were stunned when they got the newspaper, and then stumbled to the telegraph office and sent it back.

Jiang Zhongzheng, who was full of ambition and ready to make Manchuria's head bleed, was beaten by this sudden stick! Pinching this newspaper, Jiang Zhongzheng's face was gloomy and scary! Chen Lifu, Yang Yongtai and others who were urgently summoned did not dare to say a word!

After everyone finished circulating this telegram, Jiang Zhongzheng said in a deep voice to his henchmen with a cold face: "Tell me, what should we do now?!" Things have already been pushed forward, how will we deal with ourselves if this report comes back?! ”

Everyone couldn't help but be silent, as Jiang Zhongzheng's most relied on think tank, Yang Yongtai was spinning extremely fast! According to the message sent back by the consul, now this report has caused great repercussions in the United States!

Those Americans who were already in the midst of the Great Depression suddenly felt a glimmer of sympathy for these people on the other side of the ocean. This may be the feeling of empathy. And these messages are basically difficult to block.

For example, large newspapers and periodicals such as Ta Kung Pao and The News have their own distribution points in the Americas, and they also have their own responsible persons and even interviewers. Other words. It may not be long before this news reaches China!

But before they could come up with any solution, Jiang Zhongzheng's secretary stumbled, "Bang!" The door slammed open. Jiang Zhongzheng, who was already anxious and angry, was about to go crazy on the spot, but before he could speak, the secretary gave everyone present a thunderclap again!

Wang Zhaoming, President of the Executive Yuan, and Yu Youren, President of the Supervision Yuan, held a press conference! Announcing that it is going to denounce the president!! ”

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Zhongzheng, who was originally going to be mad, was stunned! He didn't expect that Wang Zhaoming's timing would be so accurate, and it just hit his seven inches!

At this time, he happened to launch a denunciation of the Wehrmacht. Even Chen Lifu, as a confidant, has already held a press conference, and the counterattack of the National Defense Force is also extremely fierce! They used a big exposure of the "New York Times" to make Jiang Zhongzheng and others anxious.

Wang Zhaoming must also have his own people in the United States to take care of him, so he can get the news so quickly! and held a press conference to denounce it, Jiang Zhongzheng did not scold the secretary but sat down in his chair coldly.

"President. It's up to me to take the responsibility! Chen Lifu was silent for a while and took the lead in speaking, and said in a deep voice to Jiang Zhongzheng: "It was said that I was deceived and caused the trend of public opinion to change." For this reason, I am willing to take responsibility and declare my resignation......"

Jiang Zhongzheng heard Chen Lifu's words, but he didn't say anything. This time, Wang Zhaoming is targeting him, if it is so easy to abandon the pawn and protect the handsome. Wang Zhaoming will not start either. are all veterans of officialdom, so they naturally know that the other party must have a backhand next!

And why is Chen Lifu willing to resign?! It's just that the situation is forced by the situation, and Jiang Zhongzheng is their biggest backer. If the mountain falls, they will have no place to stand. Sacrificing himself to keep Jiang Zhongzheng, there will still be a chance to recover after all.

"Mr. Lifu, I'm afraid this time it won't be something that you can solve by resigning alone......" Yang Yongtai finally spoke, and said in a deep voice to Jiang Zhongzheng and everyone: "President, let's get ready!" Inform the general that we need to prepare for the worst......"
