Chapter 646: Night Talk in the Cave Room
After discovering the scar on her husband's chest on the wedding night, Li Mingzhi was really shocked, because the location of the scar happened to be the heart of ordinary people. At this time, Hu Weidong told her that he was saved from death because his heart grew on the right side, and it was only after this catastrophe that he realized that there was no way to escape, so he could only rise up and fight to fight for a bloody road, and thus embarked on the road of revolution
It seems a bit out of place to say these words when he was in the cave room, but Li Mingzhi realized that his heroic husband, who was known among the people, was not much different from ordinary people at the beginning, he would also be afraid of death, the same covetousness, and fear of adventure, it was the situation that forced him to embark on the road of revolution, and the beacon of struggle tempered his mind, so that Hu Weidong grew into a great hero that everyone admires now and a great chief that most people need to look up to
After getting to know each other better, the distance between the two hearts has become much closer, and the most direct reflection is the gradually rising temperature in the new house and the sounds that are inappropriate for children. After a fierce exercise, Li Mingzhi, who still had an afterglow on her face, unconsciously said something that made her ashamed, "I can't imagine that the matter of husband and wife can be so happy"
Hu Weidong laughed unconsciously after hearing this, and then found that his wife had put her face in his arms, knowing that she was very ashamed, he hurriedly explained, "Husband and wife are human instincts, and since they are already husband and wife, there is no need to be ashamed of it." Revolutionaries are also human beings, and they also have seven emotions and six desires. As long as it does not violate party discipline and state law, there is nothing wrong with pursuing reasonable enjoyment, whether it is material or spiritual."
"Speaking of which, those old revolutionaries are more open-minded, have you noticed that those old comrades, regardless of men and women, have generally been married more than once, why is this happening? That's because the early revolution was too difficult and sinister, and it was inevitable that the husband and wife would be separated, and once separated, they would probably live and die forever, so they cherished every relationship they had. And have the courage to confide and express their hearts. If you like it, you will be together, and if the relationship is no longer good, you will break up amicably, maybe these are the influences of the May Fourth spirit back then, anyway, I can't be as open-minded as them. So until now that New China has been established, I dare to find a wife." Hu Weidong hugged his wife in his arms. sighed.
"That's it," Li Mingzhi thought silently, leaning against her husband's solid chest. "The May Fourth spirit may indeed be very good, but there are some things in it that are really not easy for Chinese to accept, and this free atmosphere seems to be fair between men and women, but women still suffer losses after all, even if a man changes or dies four or five wives, he can still marry another one, and a woman, whether she changes four or five husbands or dies four or five husbands, I am afraid she will not dare to marry"
The high-ranking cadres of New China do not have the concept of vacation, even the newlywed Hu Weidong did not want to have a honeymoon, he was only approved for a week of marriage leave, and due to the rapid changes in the international situation caused by the Japanese army's sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, Hu Weidong had to leave his wife on the third day after his marriage to meet the great man and discuss with him the changes in the Shijie pattern after the Pearl Harbor incident
Because Japan took a completely undeclared war for the success of the Battle of Pearl Harbor at this time and space, and the losses inflicted on the US military far exceeded the Pearl Harbor Incident in history, the fierce reaction of the US government can be imagined, President Roosevelt said in his speech to Congress: "The Japanese do not declare war, (their) despicable attack will forever bear the charge of dishonor, and the American people will inevitably win the victory, and we must not only do our best to defend ourselves, And so that this despicable act can no longer endanger us, and we will be victorious, God willing. I hereby only ask Congress to declare 'entry into the war'. "The U.S. Congress passed the declaration of war on Japan by a unanimous vote (one vote against in history). Roosevelt also immediately signed a declaration of war, calling December 25 a "day of national shame" for the United States (the same as Christmas Day, after which Americans would not even have a good holiday). At the same time, the United States was ordered to begin a full-scale military mobilization and completely transform the American economy into a wartime economy within half a year
The governments of Britain and other Allied powers, which had already formally concluded an alliance with the United States, also formally declared war on Japan on this day, and all members of the Axis powers that had not yet declared war on the United States and Britain had already declared war on the United States and Britain after the outbreak of the Pearl Harbor incident, and the Second Shijie War became more and more intense
The Pearl Harbor incident aroused great anger in the United States, coupled with the powerful propaganda of the Roosevelt administration, the anti-Japanese sentiment in the United States was unprecedentedly high, and even the most active anti-war organizations in the past died down at this time, and even a considerable number of them joined the tide of clamoring for revenge, and the enthusiasm of young Americans to join the army was even more enthusiastic, which made the US Department of Defense very happy.
At this time, a large number of Japanese Americans and overseas Japanese in the United States, who were already subject to widespread discrimination, were regarded as thorns in the side of the Americans, and after the huge losses caused by the Pearl Harbor incident were made public, an unprecedented panic in American society was triggered, and the violent persecution against Japanese Americans in the United States became more and more intense. Interestingly, the persecution of Japanese Americans is far worse than that of Japanese expatriates in the United States
Countless Americans spontaneously cut down cherry blossom trees that they saw as Japan, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) searched for more than 20,000 Japanese Americans under the pretext of potential danger to American security. The manhunt was openly supported by Japanese leaders, who saw the pro-Japanese stance of their elders as disloyalty to the United States and a threat to Japanese Americans in general, who were also imprisoned in concentration camps a few days later
In California, which has the largest number of Japanese Americans, Governor Capote. Olson ordered that all Japanese Americans be removed from public office, that their lawyers' and doctor's licenses be revoked, and that they even be barred from fishing. California Attorney General Earl. Warren's strange argument is that "the absence of Japanese sabotage in the United States is a sign of their scheming and insidiousness." He even reported to Washington: "The opinion of law enforcement officials in this state is that Japanese Americans born and bred here are more dangerous than Japanese expatriates." ”
Insurance companies cancel insurance policies for Japanese Americans, milk deliverers refuse to deliver milk to them, and grocery store merchants refuse to sell goods to them. Warren even froze all Japanese bank deposits, with the result that the bank simply refused to exchange their checks. Some Japanese Americans began to leave California, only to find that the vast United States seemed to have no place for them (to be continued......
