Chapter 99: The Boss Is Lonely
In the New Year of 1938, the entire South China Continent was spent in the midst of the cries of "resisting Japan and saving the country". Of course, the slogan of "resisting Japan and saving the country" is limited to Chinese immigrants, and more slogans are "The people of the whole world unite to oppose Japanese fascist aggression!" β
The mainstream newspapers of the Han Empire, such as "Nanhua Daily", "Dahan Daily", "Nanhua Business Daily", and "Guangming Daily", successively reported on the progress of China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, not to mention exposing the crimes committed by the Japanese army on the land of China.
The Pingdingshan massacre, the Zhenjiang massacre, and the Nanjing Massacre have been revealed one by one, and the indiscriminate bombing of Chongqing, the capital of China, has become a hot topic. Because of the news control in their own countries, many European and American journalists with a sense of justice have also submitted what they have seen and heard in China to the South China press circles, making the huge anti-fascand and Western public opinion war in the South China press circles even more full and substantial. Even a detail of the evil Unit 731's experiment on living people was first stabbed out by the South China Daily, and the reporter who published the article used a pseudonym to punish criminals.
In the Jinhua Palace, His Majesty's naming level was once again made fun of by everyone, and Hainie even naughtily called His Majesty's new pen name Lai Pi Pig.
His Majesty was annoyed and angry, grabbed her and slapped the little goblin's round and jade little ass a few times, "How terrible is it to be uneducated?" My name is taken from me: those who offend me will be punished even if they are far away. What a domineering name, what kind of pig have you become, little girl? β
Of course, the little goblin was not a lord who succumbed to the domineering imperial power, and he kicked his long legs and screamed until he called Director Qin and glared at His Majesty a few times.
It is useless to be a scholar, and of course the Han's assistance to China's resistance against Japan will not be limited to shouting slogans and writing articles. Zou Taofen, editor-in-chief of Nanhua Daily, and Sha Qianli, vice president of the Imperial Construction Bank, took the lead in organizing the China Aid Association, calling on people from all walks of life in South China to donate money and materials to support China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. According to incomplete statistics, in the first half of 1938, the China Aid Association raised more than 30 million Han yuan, and countless materials of various kinds, and these funds were used to customize weapons and ammunition in military factories in the Han states, and transported them to the Nanyang colony together with the materials donated by the people, and then transferred back to Guangzhou through Singapore.
Boss Lu, who had worked the Yangtze River for many years before immigrating to South China, said: It is the responsibility and obligation of every Chinese immigrant to support the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and aid to China. Even if they risk being sunk by the Japanese, the ocean-going ships of Minsheng will definitely keep going back and forth to and from the South China Sea.
Such a voice is by no means only Lu Zuofu, and such dedication is not just a company of Minsheng Sino-Ocean. In 1938, the donations of the South Chinese people strongly supported the Chinese War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. In particular, after the China Aid Association got in touch with the Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Singapore, the overseas Chinese in Nanyang also enthusiastically joined in the donation activities, whether it was in British Malaya and Singapore, or in Indonesia, which had actually become a Han colony, when the Chinese nation reached a critical juncture of life and death, the Chinese diaspora united again, and various rescue groups were established one after another.
Chen Jiageng, the chairman of the Nanqiao Association and the rubber king, even went to Chang'an to meet the Han Emperor. Zhong Yi made an exception to meet with this famous overseas Chinese leader and the first person of the "boycott of Japanese goods".
Chen Jiageng, who is more than half a hundred years old, saw the Han Emperor in the Hook Yi Hall of Weiyang Palace, and the old gentleman confessed: The Hua Han family, the same ancestor and the same ancestry, now the elder brother is killed, how can the younger brother sit idly by?
In later generations, he would rather sell the company's office building than maintain the funds of Xiamen University, which Taizu called the flag of overseas Chinese and the glory of the nation. For such a patriotic overseas Chinese businessman, Zhong Yi thought that he could not blame him for his disrespect, and even His Majesty suddenly remembered the pain and sadness of not being understood when the chairman of the committee shouted "If you go outside, you must first settle inside", and then you were blamed or even betrayed.
Speaking of which, the real promoter of this upsurge of aid to China is Zhong Yi, even if Zhong Yi has become the emperor of the Han Dynasty, but as Chen Jiageng said, with the same ancestor and ancestry, no one can sit back and watch this tragic catastrophe on the land of China. The more than 200 Type 59 tanks given to the Nationalist Government during the coup d'Γ©tat in Xi'an were not intended to change some of the military strength comparisons between China and Japan? Unexpectedly, the Type 59, which had been invincible on the South China Continent, was actually sent by the chairman to Shanghai to attack the Japanese Marines with the German armament division in the early days of the Battle of Songlu, and after achieving certain results, the powerful offensive firepower of the Type 59 Tank Brigade was noticed by the Japanese army, and it was immediately lost in the bombardment of naval guns and aircraft. Without air supremacy, Japan has a large number of ground attack aircraft, and no matter how powerful the tank is, it can only be a tragedy. What's more, Zhang Zhizhong, who didn't understand what kind of armored tactics it was at all, used the tank as a heavy artillery and drove to the beach to bombard the naval guns...... The ending of the 59-style once scolded His Majesty in distress that Jiang Guangtou was a fool and a loser.
In just a few months, Lao Chiang had already retreated to the mountain city, the Battle of Xuzhou failed, the Battle of Wuhan failed, Guangzhou fell, the navy was annihilated, and the air force had almost no combat power, allowing Japanese planes to bomb Chongqing indiscriminately. What's even more infuriating is the Battle of Taiyuan, "That can also be called a battle?" Dozens of divisions of the Jin army were chased and beaten by half of Itagaki Zhengsilang's division, and everyone was embarrassed to lose the little devil and his grandmother! β
Since the outbreak of the "77 Incident" Anti-Japanese War, every battle must be lost, and the battle that can eliminate thousands of devils can be called a great victory. However, the Chinese army is often chased by 100,000 or even hundreds of thousands of Japanese divisions and regiments, except for the royal literati who stare at and talk nonsense and have no limit to discipline, and the whole country is permeated with pessimism about defeat.
Zhong Yi knew that morally speaking, from a conscience point of view, the big man should have taken action. However, Zhong Yi is not like in his previous life, just an ordinary Chinese soldier. Now, he is the emperor of the Han Empire, with a land no smaller than that of China, and tens of millions of people. Therefore, intellectually speaking, the Great Han cannot declare war on Japan at this moment.
Fighting little devils is a must. However, before the war broke out in Europe, Britain and France continued to pay attention to the Far East, and now the result of the war must be the United States, which is far across the ocean, to reap the benefits of the fisherman. In the previous life, even if the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor pulled the United States into the water, but after the war, it was not the United States that dominated the world?
"Patience, waiting" are the two words that Zhong Yi wants to say the most and dare not say the most.
Before Chen Jiageng asked to meet, He Zhuguo, Yu Xuezhong and other former generals of the Northeast Army had already asked for war many times, Jiang Yunzhi, Quanguo Lin and other high-level Red Police Corps also agreed to participate in the war, and even Hans, Thayer, these white and indigenous generals did not object to playing with the little devils, just like Qian Zhihao joked: The current boss is lonely!
