Chapter 228: My Request
After Ah Fu and the others looked at the bloody head, they were covered in cold sweat, and they couldn't relax for a while! I don't have many wishes for this old man, so I just think that the country can be strong, so that we wanderers can rely on it more! But the effort comes and goes...... Alas......"
The old man sighed deeply, how much bitterness and helplessness was contained in this lament, and Tu Qianjun could understand. He knew how much effort this old man had made and how much effort he had put into it for the country to be strong!
Not to mention the contribution of the old man in the Xinhai Revolution, just talking about the performance of the old man when he resisted Japan is enough to make countless people admire!
Soon after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War in Songhu, Situ Meitang united with various overseas Chinese organizations in New York to establish the "New York Overseas Chinese Anti-Japanese Salvation Association" to carry out anti-Japanese and national salvation activities. It is one of the earliest anti-Japanese and national salvation groups established by overseas Chinese.
At the beginning of February 1932, Situ Meitang presided over a meeting of officers in Anliang Hall and made three decisions: 1. In the name of the Zhigong Court, he called for support for the squadron that insisted on resisting Japan in Shanghai; 2. Quickly set up a Hongmen fund-raising organization and launch fundraising; 3. Organize overseas Chinese youth aviation to save the country.
From the 918 Incident to the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, overseas Chinese in the Americas have carried out anti-Japanese and national salvation activities for 14 years! According to statistics, overseas Chinese in the Americas have donated a total of more than $69 million to the motherland, of which overseas Chinese in the United States have donated $56 million, 95 donation groups have been set up, and 437 meetings have been held to raise funds.
The New York "Fundraising Association" alone raised $14 million, of which $3.3 million was donated by overseas Chinese in New York!
According to statistics, overseas Chinese in the United States donated more than 30 planes and hundreds of vehicles of various kinds to the motherland in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and hundreds of overseas Chinese young people returned to China to participate in the war, most of whom joined the Chinese Air Force at that time! For the sake of the motherland, blood is sprinkled in the sky!
Situ Meitang was one of the 17 overseas Chinese who donated the most to the motherland in the New York area at that time; The An Liang Tang led by him is the overseas Chinese community in New York that has donated the most to the country!
And the old man's integrity has made countless traitors ashamed! In October 1941, Situ Meitang returned to China for the second time after the Songhu Anti-Japanese War. On 20 November, Szeto Mei Tong arrived in Hong Kong.
Unexpectedly, Japan suddenly launched the Pacific War and suddenly attacked Hong Kong and other places! But Tu Qianjun couldn't help but stand up with some trepidation, but the old man insisted on pouring the wine into his cup!
Then he poured himself another glass, slammed Tu Qianjun's wine glass lightly, and said in a deep voice: "We are all old, and this world and this country depend on you young people after all!" Your performance in the Battle of Jinan is really uplifting for us Chinese! This is good! Now that you've come to the United States, there's nothing I can do to help an old man! As long as my old bones can move, I will never shirk! ”
As he spoke, he drank the wine from the glass! Facing Tu Qianjun, he lit up the bottom of the cup.
And Tu Qianjun didn't dare to slack off, so he drank all the wine in the cup with the old man, and then said solemnly: "But I don't dare to say that I am calling, how can the old gentleman always say a word to the person I admire, how can the boy dare to say a word?!" However, there is one thing I would like to ask the old gentleman for help! ”
After the old man returned to his position and sat down, he couldn't help but whisper when he heard Tu Qianjun say this: "Oh?!" Tell me about it! What can I do for you, old man! As long as it is something that the old man can do, I will never shirk it! ”
Tu Qianjun smiled when he heard the old man's words, and said softly: "I want to ask to see Mr. Roosevelt, I heard that he is your lawyer and has a good relationship with the Zhigong Court. So I'd like to ask you for an introduction. ”
Hearing Tu Qianjun's words, the old man was stunned! Although it is no secret that Roosevelt has something to do with himself, how did Tu Qianjun hear about it when he came to the United States?! That seems unlikely, right?! And what did he ask to see Roosevelt for?!
Yes, the old man looked at Tu Qianjun and asked suspiciously: "It's not difficult for you to see him, I can arrange it for you." It's not hard to see him because of my relationship with him, but I have to arrange time. But what are you looking for Roosevelt?! ”
The old man he could say, Tu Qianjun suddenly laughed a little weird. After a while, he smiled at the old man and said, "Old man, do you believe me when I say I want to meet the future president of the United States?!" ”
Hearing Tu Qianjun's words, the old man couldn't help but be a little speechless! If someone else said this, he really didn't believe it, but Tu Qianjun said it to him, but he was a little puzzled (). Could it be that the Colt family had something to think of Roosevelt?!
Seeing the old man's suspicious look, Tu Qianjun couldn't help but smile and said, "Don't think too much, I just want to meet this gentleman first." To be honest, I'm curious about this gentleman who has a good impression of us Chinese! I'm wondering, if he becomes president of the United States, will he propose to repeal the Chinese Exclusion Act?! ”
Hearing Tu Qianjun say this, Situ Meitang was thrilled! He was an old friend of Roosevelt for nearly ten years, so he naturally knew that Roosevelt was not a racist! On the contrary, he is very friendly to the Chinese, and if he is elected president of the United States, then the repeal of the Chinese Exclusion Act is not completely impossible!
Even if you take 10,000 steps back, it's better to have a Chinese-friendly American as president than a racist to be president, right?! Seeing that the old man seemed to be thoughtful, Tu Qianjun smiled and said, "Old man...... We just lack political allies! Maybe we should make more friends......"
Situ Meitang couldn't help but sigh when he heard Tu Qianjun's words, and said slowly to him: "I'll arrange a meeting with Roosevelt for you after a while, maybe it would be better for you to talk." After all, my identity doesn't sound good......"
Hearing the old man say this, Tu Qianjun couldn't help but be stunned! After all, Situ Meitang is the leader of a gang! If he really intervened to participate in something, it might trigger a strong backlash from those vested interest families!
Yes, it's not that Situ Meitang doesn't understand, but he can't move at all! If you want to move, you have to have the ability to do it! If you don't have such a big head and a hat that is so big, something will happen......
But Tu Qianjun's identity is different, he is a guest of the Colt family! And he was appreciated by old Pershing, and no one would be embarrassed by these two points without opening his eyes. There are even many people who will think about how to befriend him, after all, he is a celebrity in front of the Colt family and old Pershing!
It's better to be friends with such a person than to be offended, right?! And Tu Qianjun is still the henchman of the current uncrowned king of the Northeast, Zhang Xueliang, and now the Northeast has fallen out with the Japanese again! With so many resources and opportunities, a fool has no idea!
