Needless to say, Zhu Kezhen's name is a generation of masters of meteorology and geography in China, but I am afraid few people know that he was also the president of Zhejiang University, and led Zhejiang teachers and students to carry out the famous "Long March of the Cultural Army" during the Anti-Japanese War, from 1937 to February 1940, Zhejiang University lasted two and a half years, passing through Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Hunan, Guizhou, Guizhou six provinces, westward travel 2600 kilometers, westward to Guizhou. He led Zhejiang University to become a world-famous university at that time, and was praised as the "Cambridge of the East" by the famous British scholar Joseph Needham, and it was precisely because of these achievements that Zhu Kezhen also became the greatest president in the history of Zhejiang University, and was respected as one of the four presidents of Chinese universities.

Chiang Kai-shek and others all know Zhu Kezhen, because Zhu Kezhen has worked in the Institute of Meteorology of the Academia Sinica since the 18th year of the Republic of China, that is, in 1929, and has been working there for eight years. This kind of person naturally has nothing to guard against. Because it was impossible for Zhu Kezhen to slaughter any of them. Of course, if you don't get it right, I'm afraid a few words of scolding are indispensable. But everyone is here, you can't be driven back for fear of being scolded, right? You can only see it.

But fortunately, Zhu Kezhen didn't mean to make trouble, and as soon as he came, he handed over the relevant materials he brought from Zhejiang University to Lao Jiang.

"This is the meteorological and geographical research data of Zhejiang University in North China, especially Henan, Hebei, Shandong and Shanxi provinces in recent years......"

"These materials ......"

Zhu Kezhen is very thin, the corners of her mouth are slightly upturned, and she always gives people the feeling that she is smiling at any time. However, at this moment, Chiang Kai-shek and others couldn't laugh at the current president of Zhejiang University, and even had a strong sense of depression...... The source of this feeling is Zhu Kezhen.

"This information is completely true and reliable. I won't say anything superfluous, according to our understanding of recent years. An analysis of the weather data of Henan and its surrounding provinces and cities has basically determined that the Henan region will suffer from a drought rarely seen in a century. The drought will last at least a year, if not longer. Zhu Kezhen said, "According to the general situation, the drought will be followed by various epiphytic disasters such as locust plagues and diseases. Therefore, we recommend that the government should be prepared to provide timely relief to the affected people and ensure local agricultural production as much as possible. ”

"Principal Zhu. Do you think this drought is really that bad? Seldom appear? How did you know for sure? Chen Guofu asked with a smile.

"Director Chen, you should ask your brother this question." Zhu Kezhen glanced at him and said with a smile.

"......" Chen Guofu was bored, but he was helpless. His younger brother, Chen Lifu, is the Minister of Education. Attach great importance to these universities. Zhu Kezhen took Zhejiang University to move thousands of miles from Zhejiang to Guizhou, and ran an exiled school well. I have already registered with Chen Lifu. It's red. What's more, this time Zhu Kezhen was invited by Qin Wei, so it was naturally impossible for him to trouble others for such a few words.

"Principal Zhu, why did you suddenly pay attention to Henan? In college, teachers should be teaching-oriented, and students should naturally learn. There are many places in Henan that have fallen into the hands of the Japanese army, and you Zhejiang University ......" Kong Xiangxi was just warned by Lao Jiang. When he heard that Song Ziwen had sent a telegram to explain his previous actions, and this explanation seemed to make sense, and it did not affect the plan formulated by the Military Commission before, he immediately became uneasy. I was very worried that Qin Wei would give up "helping" himself. Because then he would almost have to face the pressure from abroad alone, and maybe the president would really lose it. Unexpectedly, Qin Wei took a firm position, although he was no longer angry because Song Ziwen violated the plan to take out a private loan, but he was even more dissatisfied with Song Ziwen's behavior of using foreign political power to interfere with his own personnel, which made him suddenly relieved. can rest assured, Lao Jiang's dissatisfaction with his "collusion" with Qin Wei in private is also real. He relied on Lao Jiang to make a living, and as soon as he felt that his position was stable, he naturally had to take care of the big boss's thoughts...... Zhu Kezhen was found by Qin Wei, and Qin Wei talked about the famine in Henan, and Lao Jiang was very dissatisfied. Since this is the case, he expressed his doubts about Zhu Kezhen, in order to show that he and Qin Wei are actually very estranged.

"Dean Kong, the study of meteorology has the characteristics of small places, and the large scale has a large range of influences." Zhu Kezhen didn't know what the people in the room had just said, but he could hear the meaning of Kong Xiangxi's words clearly, and his face suddenly sank: "To say a boast, the meteorological research of our Zhejiang University is second to none in the country. But you can't study meteorology in a small place, right? Professor Qin is a major honorary professor and a celebrity in the cultural world, so let's ask him to help him find more information, can't we? ”

"What's that for, Henan?" Chen Cheng's eyelids blinked and asked.

"Are you ......" Zhu Kezhen didn't know Chen Cheng, so he asked casually.

"Chen Cheng, Chen Cixiu! He is currently the head of the Political Department and the commander of the 9th Theater of Operations. Qin Wei introduced on the side.

"Oh, yes." Zhu Kezhen slapped his forehead, "There seems to be some impression in the newspaper." ”

"Principal Zhu, you haven't answered my question yet." Chen Cheng continued to ask. Although the main target was Kong Xiangxi, when Kong Xiangxi had a conflict with the US military over the issue Chinese of the air base, He Yingqin helped him and put forward a lot of "corroborating evidence." Therefore, this time, when the Americans expressed their dissatisfaction with the Chinese government, they also involved He Yingqin by the way. In Chen Cheng's opinion, He Yingqin is a "mother-in-law", her temperament is too soft, and she doesn't have much ability. Although he is the No. 2 person in the Whampoa Department, he does not have such a large system as the civil engineering department as his team, and his status is almost all supported by Lao Jiang. Therefore, he has always wanted to seize the position of He Yingqin's defense minister. However, he also knows that He Yingqin is not easy to deal with, on the surface, there is no hardcore as a team, but in fact, it has a lot of overlap with Lao Jiang's strength, if he behaves too much, maybe he will be overturned by the other party before he arches the other party. After all, even Hu Zongnan, who has always been against him, has to call He Yingqin "teacher" when he sees him, and there are also powerful generals such as Du Yuming and Guan Linzheng, although they are all loyal subordinates of Lao Jiang, they also have to show enough respect for He Yingqin. Therefore, in the past, he only secretly gave He Yingqin a few eye drops in front of Lao Jiang, and did not take any substantive action. But this time is really a rare opportunity, although it can be seen from Lao Chiang's attitude that Song Ziwen's abacus will not work nine times out of ten, but if the Americans are dissatisfied with He Yingqin, then in the future cooperation, who else can represent China to contact the other party? Song Ziwen is disgusted by others for relying on foreign self-respect, but without the support of external forces, is it so easy to gain a firm foothold in China? Didn't Lao Chiang first make friends with the Japanese and then lean towards Britain and the United States? And he has been mixed under Lao Jiang for so many years, and he knows the character of this boss too well. That's what I think today, maybe that's what I think tomorrow...... Qin Wei was dissatisfied with Song Ziwen's self-respect, and for this reason, he protected Kong Xiangxi in front of Lao Jiang, which was equivalent to protecting He Yingqin by the way, but it shouldn't be, it shouldn't, Qin Wei actually used the Henan famine to trouble Lao Jiang. The local government hasn't spoken yet, why are you in a hurry as an air force commander? Therefore, he wants to prove that Qin Wei has another purpose, and as long as Qin Wei has another purpose, then Kong Xiangxi may suffer a little bit of a pond fish, so He Yingqin has a great chance that he will not be able to escape. Although he didn't think that this would bring He Yingqin down, there must always be a process of accumulation in everything, first create some contradictions between He Yingqin and Chiang Kai-shek, and then find opportunities to come so many times in the future, and the goal will naturally be achieved.

Chen Cheng had the Yellow River flowing in his heart, and he thought he had a plan, but he only got a big white eye from Zhu Kezhen:

"Minister Chen, what do you want me to answer you? Professor Qin sent us all the meteorological information that could be found. The meteorological data of the southwestern provinces, especially Yunnan and Guizhou, as well as Sichuan, are summarized in front of our meteorological students at Zhejiang University every other week. As for the northern provinces such as Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong, and Henan, it is once a quarter. And in Hunan, Hubei and other places, it is almost once a day! Zhu Kezhen sighed: "Our professors and students have worked hard to do what they can for China's meteorological cause and the national army's anti-Japanese war, but you ask so...... And what does that mean? ”

“…… What does your study of meteorology have to do with the Anti-Japanese War? Chen Cheng was choked for a moment, but his face remained unchanged, only frowning.

"I'm the Air Force! Our planes could fly somewhere at any time...... Do you think I need to make a weather forecast, 'quit'? Qin Wei asked angrily on the side.

"Then all your meteorological data are ......," Chen Guofu then asked.

"Oh, this is what our military commander helped me get." Dai Li took a step forward gently, smiled at Chen Guofu, and said to Lao Jiang: "Headmaster, Chief Qin found the students and asked the students to use the strength of the military commanders in various places to collect meteorological data from all over the country as much as possible, and at the same time made some simple instruments for studying the weather according to Principal Zhu's instructions. ”

"Really?" Do you dare to show credit to Lao Tzu? You and this surnamed Qin have really become good brothers? Lao Jiang glanced at Dai Li quietly, and then turned to Qin Wei and said, "So, you have studied the results of a long-term drought in Henan?" ”

"Yes, Chairman," Zhu Kezhen said hurriedly, "I can guarantee that this drought will be a very rare disaster, and the degree of disaster will probably not be weaker than the disaster that spread almost the entire north in the 17th to 21st years of the Republic of China!" If we don't prepare quickly, it will be too late for the drought to continue. ”

"Principal Zhu, of course I want disaster relief. But...... After saving Henan, what about northern Shaanxi? (To be continued......)
