Chapter Ninety-Four: A War of Words
"Darling, did you read today's paper?" Song Meiling took a copy of the "Declaration" to the terrace, Song Meiling was used to reading the newspaper, there was no "Declaration" in Chongqing, it was sent by the people of the military commander lurking in Shanghai through the waterway. Although it was not sent to Chongqing on the same day, Song Meiling was already very satisfied, after all, Shanghai has now become an enemy-occupied area, and she did not want to kill those lurkers in order to see the newspaper of the day in time.
"Any big news?" Looking at Song Meiling flipping the newspapers on the table, Chiang Kai-shek asked with some puzzlement, there were always only newspapers issued in the Kuomintang region on his desk, and these newspapers would send the same copy to Song Meiling's room every day, how did he turn over his own newspapers?
"Look at it, what does this declaration say about Boyuan, I'm so angry" Song Meiling handed the "declaration" in her hand to Chiang Kai-shek, and sat on the side with a huff and sulk. I don't know where this declaration came from to attract a guy with the pen name Nanyuan, who wantonly crusaded against Zhao Zhi in the newspaper, claiming that the successive bomb attacks on the Japanese mainland a few days ago had been confirmed to be the work of Thunder, if Thunder fought with the Japanese invaders for the War of Resistance, but the Japanese are now killed and injured by civilians, and more than 30,000 Japanese civilians have died in the attack, and Zhao Zhi, the controller of Thunder, is simply a butcher.
"I don't know what to say" Chiang Kai-shek was also angry after reading that comment, these so-called critics who were not diligent were simply the swords and penmen bought by the Japanese, Zhao Zhi's heavenly punishment action attacked the ports and arsenals where Japan transported military supplies, and if those so-called Japanese civilians did not produce weapons and ammunition for the Japanese army, how could they be affected by the attack, so those Japanese civilians who died in the attack were simply to blame, and what happened to Zhao Zhi.
"Darling, you have to think of a way, Boyuan is planning the Shanxi Liberation Campaign, you can't let these things bother him, if you really can't do it, you will send someone from the military commander to kill this Nanyuan, to set an example, and see if anyone dares to talk nonsense in the newspaper in the future" Song Meiling's eyes flashed a hint of fierceness, and it could be seen that this woman who had always had a peaceful attitude was really angry. Not to mention that Song Meiling and Luo Lin have a very good personal relationship, only Zhao Zhi has repeatedly frustrated the prestige of the Japanese army in Shanxi, which is worthy of Song Meiling to stand up for him, not to mention that Zhao Zhi has the support of Germany and the United States behind him.
"This Nanyuan can't be killed, kill him, the Japanese will have more to say, they will pour more dirty water on Boyuan's head" Chiang Kai-shek was a little embarrassed, he could see that this was a trick of the Japanese, if you ignore them, they will continue to spread rumors in the newspaper and ruin the reputation of Lei Ting and Zhao Zhi, but if you teach the critic named Nanyuan a lesson, then you will just fall into the trap of the Japanese, and they will even say that this is the result of Zhao Zhi's annoyance and anger, and it will further confirm the name of Zhao Zhi's butcher, If you don't get it right, even the national government will be implicated.
"What then? Let's just watch them say that Boyuan is a butcher? Song Meiling also knew the meaning of Chiang Kai-shek's words, but she still felt uncomfortable, just like eating a fly on a dog day.
"Don't worry, the Japanese can control the declaration, we also have our own newspapers, who wouldn't have a war of words, we have people, and I'm afraid that he won't succeed in Nanyuan" Chiang Kai-shek comforted Song Meiling for a while, and asked the attendant to call his subordinate Tao Xisheng, who was in charge of propaganda work.
Tao Xisheng, 43, had just been appointed head of the No. 5 Group of the Second Division of the Chamberlain of Chiang Kai-shek's official residence to lead the propaganda work of the Nationalist Government. "Xisheng, you can take a look at this comment on the declaration" Chiang Kai-shek, who has always paid attention to appearance, did not find fault with Tao Xisheng, but just motioned for him to look at the declaration on the table first.
"Chairman of the National Committee, this person must be a sword and pen official bought by the Japanese, and his heart can be punished, but he can be punished." After carefully reading the comment titled "Hero or Butcher," Tao Xisheng was also full of anger and said two things to punish in front of Chiang Kai-shek. Who is Zhao Zhi and Zhao Boyuan, that is the eyeball and hand treasure of Chiang Kai-shek and his wife, not to mention whether the attack on the Japanese mainland is related to Zhao Zhi, even if it is related to Zhao Zhi, what is the matter, is it that the Japanese are allowed to kill people and set fire in China. If according to Tao Xisheng's meaning, he still thinks that Zhao Zhi has killed less, if he kills all the people on the Japanese island at one time, then he is a great talent.
"Xisheng, don't be busy getting angry first, I came to you because I want you to write a comment on this Nanyuan immediately, don't they like to pour dirty water on others, let's treat others in the same way as others, and have a war of words with them" Chiang Kai-shek slowly got up and paced on the terrace with his hands behind his back, "Let's fight a war of words with them this time without using a knife or a gun, you can choose all the people with outstanding writing in the attendant's room, but you must win them"
Song Meiling added in a timely manner, "Xisheng, don't you have a good relationship with the academic community, find more famous scholars to write more manuscripts, and strive to bring all the news and public opinion to our side, and you can also mobilize those progressive students in the school to organize a parade or something, I see how to apply for this time" Song Meiling looked like she was holding a pearl of wisdom, which made Chiang Kai-shek seem to see the situation when Song Meiling rushed to Xi'an alone to rescue herself.
Led by Tao Xisheng, the largest war of words supported by the Nationalist government kicked off because of the comment on the declaration, and for a time, the Chinese press, which was a backwater, was full of shouts and insults against the comment and Nanyuan. As the old saying goes, I am not afraid of illiterate hooligans learning to read and write, but I am afraid that literate people will become hooligans, this time Chiang Kai-shek and his wife have opened their eyes, but they did not expect that those scholars who usually look at the gentle and elegant scolding people do not have dirty words at all, if Shanghai is not an enemy-occupied area now, I am afraid that someone would have run to Shanghai with their sleeves to teach that South Park a lesson.
Tao Xisheng organized a large number of well-known scholars in the national control area to write a lot of articles, the content of which has continued from the Three Emperors and Five Emperors to the present, and has generally characterized the declaration and that Nanyuan as traitors and traitors. The scholars are also full of Confucianism, and in addition to the crusade declaration and the South Park, they still retain a trace of cultural reserve. But those students with radical personalities are different, they agree with what Zhao Zhi mentioned in the bounty order from the bottom of their bones: All those who are under my gun are my enemies, and all the Japanese people who set foot on my land of China are all pointed at by me at my gun.
The first two newspaper reports of the Japanese army's massacre of villages have almost caused many schools to almost break out in demonstrations, if it weren't for the military commanders to stop it quickly, a large number of students would have gone to Zhangwu County to join Zhao Zhi to become soldiers, this time it's good, but these hot-blooded young people have found a reason to vent. The flags were held high by the students, all written with slogans in support of Lei Ting and Zhao Zhi, the first time that the Nationalist government did not intervene to stop the march, and the Chongqing municipal government sent a large number of police officers to maintain order and provide hot water and meals to the students who marched.
The students used their imagination to paste a portrait of the South Park with bamboo paper, and when they marched to the busiest street in Chongqing, they burned the statue of the South Park to a pile of ashes in front of many Chongqing citizens. The onlookers applauded, and those in the rivers and lakes who responded to the bounty order said on the spot that they would go to Shanghai to assassinate Nanyuan, and the declaration and Nanyuan in Chongqing can be regarded as stinking, if they were present today, I am afraid that they will be torn to pieces by the big guys.
"The people's hearts are available, the people's hearts are available" was protected by the personal guards, Chiang Kai-shek, who was hidden in a western-style house, saw such a scene, and was greatly moved, how could he not be a hot-blooded young man when he was young, but because of too many ties and reasons, he came to this point. If he is given another chance to start over, he will definitely take a different path, at least like Zhao Zhi to gallop through the world with a happy horse.
The outbreak of the Guotong area made the Japanese side a little confused, and the declaration and the South Park were even more panicked all day long, and the rich businessmen in the Guotong District had jointly released the rumors, the head of the South Park was worth 500 yuan, and the editor-in-chief of the declaration was also 500, and the declaration was smashed to 200, if the declaration could be burned to the ground, the person who released the wind immediately paid 1,000 yuan to the person who gave the hand. In the past few days, the Japanese military police have arrested no less than 100 people with gasoline bottles in their arms, all of whom came for the 1,000 oceans, which are enough for them to marry their daughters-in-law and buy land for half their lives.
The crusade against Nanyuan and the declaration of Lang Bang
This war of words led by the Nationalist Government lasted for a week, and finally ended with the complete victory of the Kuomintang as the final result, Zhao Zhi and the Thunder under his control were once again pushed to the forefront, and the people of the Kuomintang finally knew that the Thunder had struck again, and this time it was to burn the flames of war to the Japanese island. A gorgeous hero hat was buckled on Zhao Zhi's head, if anyone dares to say that Zhao Zhi is a butcher, then okay, it's not that this can't be said, it's just that the person who said this must first weigh his ability to resist attacks, and whether he has the ability to withstand the anger and attacks from the people.
