The news of Chen Qiang's fundraising in major colleges and universities in Beiping soon spread in the city of Beiping, and the Japanese intelligence agency in Beiping learned of the news and immediately reported it to the Consulate General in Tianjin, and the Japanese Consulate General in Tianjin, which in turn transmitted the matter back to Japan.

Japan Sports Association.

"President, there is news from the Tianjin Consulate that Chen Qiang is fundraising!" Kenjiro Nakano informed Kishi of the information coming from Tianjin.

Kishi Qingyi frowned, and he asked, "How is the fundraising?" ”

"It is said that the effect is very good, and the teachers and students of major universities in Peking have enthusiastically donated, and the scene is quite enthusiastic!" Kenjiro Nakano replied.

Kishi Kiyoshi's expression became more and more solemn, and he opened his mouth and asked, "Nakano-kun, how much is the ticket from China to the United States, do you know?" ”

"I don't know about this, but I do know that the price of a first-class cabin from Japan to the United States on a more luxurious cruise ship should be around $1,000." Kenjiro Nakano replied.

"If you calculate it this way, the second-class cabin should be about 500 US dollars, and the third-class cabin is almost more than 200 US dollars" Kishi Qingyi calculated in his heart, and then said: "This is not an astronomical amount, Chen Qiang is very likely to raise money to make up for the travel expenses, and then go to the United States to participate in the Olympic Games!" ”

"You're right, it's possible." Kenjiro Nakano replied.

"We're going to find a way to stop him! He must not be allowed to go to the Olympics. If he achieves good results in the Olympics, it will not only boost the morale of the Chinese, but also make China gain greater international recognition. If the international community agrees with China, it will be very difficult for us to succeed in seeking Manchuria to participate in the Olympic program! And in the future, similar international activities, Manchuria will also be excluded, which is not in the interests of the empire! We want to create public opinion in the international community that Manchuria is an independent existence, not a part of China! Kishi Kiyoshi said resolutely.

Kenjiro Nakano was silent for a moment and said, "President, there is no way for us to stop the Chinese from donating money to Chen Qiang. Moreover, the cruise ships to the United States are all operated by American companies, and it is impossible for us to prevent him from going to the United States. ”

"We can't help it, but Vice Admiral Oshima may have a way!" Kishi Kiyoichi said without hesitation: "You immediately help me contact Lieutenant General Oshima's secretary, just say that I have something important to report to Lieutenant General Oshima!" ”

……

In the afternoon of the same day, Kishi Kishiichi met with Lieutenant General Oshima.

"President Kishiqing, according to you, this Chen Qiang is very likely to achieve good results in the Los Angeles Olympics?" Lieutenant General Oshima asked.

"Yes, he holds the Asian record in the 100m dash, his best time in the 100m is 10.5 seconds, just 0.1 seconds away from the world record, and this is the record he set more than a year ago, when he was only 16 years old, and now he is 18 years old, and he should be stronger than he was a year ago. I wouldn't be surprised if he won the gold medal in the 100-meter dash at the Los Angeles Olympics. Kishi Kiyoshi said.

Lieutenant General Oshima nodded: "I have an impression of this athlete. I have to admit that as an Asian athlete, his results are very good, and such a talent should serve my great Japanese empire! ”

"I firmly believe that one day, when we completely occupy China, Chen Qiang will play for us, but now, I think he should be prevented from participating in the Los Angeles Olympics as much as possible." Kishi Kiyoshi said.

"I understand what you mean, once Chinese athletes gain international recognition, it will be very difficult for Manchuria to participate in international sports affairs as an independent country!" Lieutenant General Oshima paused, and then asked, "You said before that Chen Qiang was collecting money for travel expenses in order to go to the United States?" ”

"Yes, according to the information sent back from Tianjin, the enthusiasm of the Chinese is very high and the donations are very enthusiastic. According to this posture, it may not be long before Chen Qiang can make up enough money to travel to and from the United States. Kishi Kiyoshi replied.

Lieutenant General Oshima was silent for more than ten seconds, and then spoke: "President Kishikiyo, leave this matter to me, and I will find a way to prevent Chen Qiang from going to the United States to compete." ”

"That's great, I knew that Lieutenant General Oshima would definitely have a way!" Kishi Kiyoi bowed to Lieutenant General Oshima.

Lieutenant General Oshima lowered his voice and said, "President Kishikiyo, you and I have known each other for many years, and there is no need for me to hide some things from you. When our army invaded Manchuria last year, many scholars and businessmen in Manchuria fled to Beiping, and some of our intelligence officers were mixed in with them. In addition to this, our intelligence department in Nanjing, China, has also befriended some scholars, and now it is time for them to play some role! ”

……

In Beiping, Chen Qiang finished his fundraising activities in Beiping, and then he will go to Nanjing, and then to Shanghai and Hangzhou, all three of which have many universities, if there is enough time, Chen Qiang also plans to go to Guangzhou to see if there is a chance to raise some donations from Hong Kong.

Riding on the train, Chen Qiang was a little bored, so he took out the newspaper he had bought before from his bag and read it carefully.

An article published by a scholar who fled from the northeast to Beiping immediately attracted Chen Qiang's attention.

"The Japanese invaded our Northeast, and since the Qing Dynasty and the Japanese War, they have broken through the barrier of the Northeast. After the Russo-Japanese War, it went on to stifle the life and death of the Northeast. After decades of economic aggression and political persecution, its power has been deeply entrenched, and the mountains and rivers have become invisible and colorful. Today's change is that the Japanese people have taken advantage of our catastrophe and have no time to look outside, gloat over the disaster, and carry out armed aggression. It is to turn away from righteousness and fight without declaring it; Invasion of the territory of neighbouring countries without cause is a deliberate disturbance of the peace; Taking advantage of the danger of others is injustice, disturbing the peace is militarism, and violating public international law......"

At this point, we dare to tell the people of our country with words of blood and tears: This atrocity of the Japanese is really a life-and-death crisis for our country. The mountains and rivers of the Northeast have now fallen under the ravages of the Japanese iron cavalry. The people of the country should not forget the urgency of their own situation. The Japanese are fighting, and I am in the Northeast! Those who are ravaged, I am also in the northeast! Iron hooves are everywhere, and mountains and rivers change color. On the day when its mainland policy is realized, that is, when our country and our nation are destroyed, Taiwan and North Korea will be in the forefront! ”

"I heard that the athletes of our country want to participate in the Olympic Games in the West, and they have raised donations in Beiping, and they have obtained a lot of money. I am deeply saddened to receive this bad news! At such a time when the national crisis is at hand, instead of wasting energy and money in vain, participating in Olympic activities and selling ugliness on the international stage, it is better to use this energy and money to strive for the strength and prosperity of the Chinese nation. ”

"The heart of the Japanese people is clearly revealed, the current national disaster, the survival is dependent, and the fleshy people have conspired to save themselves in an emergency! We believe that the athletes of our country should donate all the money they have earned, which can be used for disaster relief and for the purpose of rebuilding the army. ”

"The survival of the country is at stake, and the life and death of the nation are at stake. At this time, everyone must have the determination to sacrifice, the external troubles are at present, the internal strife is urgent, and we will go to the national disaster together. We must not fry ourselves again, trapping the country and the nation in a catastrophe. The Chinese people should take the salvation and survival as their duty, and do not need to spend energy and money for the Olympic Games in the West, nor do they need to donate generously to the activities of the West! ”

Although it is a large article, Chen Qiang understands it.

In the first instance, I said that the Japanese occupation of Northeast China was a shameless act and a violation of international law, and in short, they caught the aggressors and scolded them wildly, arousing people's anger.

Then he said that there are Chinese who want to go to the Olympics, and they have raised a lot of money, which is simply bad news, I heard it so painfully, now is the time of national disaster, how can you waste money to participate in the Olympics? And it's not a shame to go to the Olympics in front of foreigners.

Then, under the banner of "national disaster at the head, conspire to save yourself", Chen Qiang asked Chen Qiang to donate all the funds raised for the competition, either to the disaster area or to the army.

In the end, on the grounds of "the survival of the country and the nation", he asked the masses not to donate money to Chen Qiang, because Chen Qiang participated in the Olympics of Westerners. If you are an athlete who goes to the Olympic Games, and you can't save the country, and you can't strengthen the country and the army, why should you donate money!

After reading this article, Chen Qiang was extremely angry in his heart, he didn't know where such a scholar came out of nowhere, under the banner of saving the country, to engage in moral kidnapping. Chen Qiang really wanted to ask, how much did this person who advocated for Chen Qiang to donate all the money to the disaster area and the army himself?

In Chen Qiang's opinion, this person is simply a keyboard warrior during the Republic of China!

Not to mention that he has no contribution to the country, when Chen Qiang planned to go to the Olympics to win glory for the country, these people still came to pull back!

"Fortunately, the fundraising activities in Peking have ended, if he posted this kind of article before I went to Beiping, maybe it would really confuse many people, maybe I wouldn't have received so many donations." Chen Qiang said secretly in his heart.

Chen Qiang calmed down, calmly read this article again, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that something was wrong.

Chen Qiang couldn't help but carefully search for the information he had memorized in his mind.

The opposition to the Olympic Games during the Republic of China period should have been after the 1936 Berlin Olympics. In that Olympic Games, the domestic expectations for the performance of Chinese athletes were still very high, but they came back with a "duck egg", and they also confirmed the name of "the sick man of East Asia". The defeat of the Olympic Games deeply hurt the hearts of the Chinese people, so many newspapers were satirical and sarcastic.

In the end, the incident became the question of the whole thing about participating in the Olympic Games, coupled with the counterattack of "local sports", a wave of opposition to participating in the Olympic Games arose. The "Olympic uselessness" theory is so popular that many people believe that sending athletes to the Olympics is a waste of money. People can't achieve anything when they go, but they are tortured in all kinds of blood, and they are embarrassed in front of foreigners.

However, this wave of opposition to the Olympics did not last long, because the situation at that time became more and more serious, and the Japanese invaders were pressing forward step by step, and people soon stopped caring about the Olympics. And after the July 7 Incident, there was only one voice left in the country: anti-Japanese!

"It's only 1932, so why is there suddenly opposition to the Olympics? Is this a coincidence? Or is it the butterfly effect caused by the fundraising in Peiping? Or is it the person who wrote this article for grandstanding? ”

Chen Qiang shook his head a little uncertainly, this article came too suddenly, which made him a little confused.

The next day, Chen Qiang's train left the Beijing-Tianjin area, and Chen Qiang could not buy newspapers in the Beijing-Tianjin area, so Chen Qiang did not know that more articles similar to the opposition to the Olympics appeared in the newspapers in the Beijing-Tianjin area.

And these articles are all under the banner of patriotism, opposing athletes to participate in the Olympic Games, every article requires that Chen Qiang should donate all the funds raised for the competition, and every article also calls for not donating money to Chen Qiang anymore!

……

Chen Qiang's train arrived in Jiangbei, and he had to change to a ferry to Nanjing.

At the ferry, Chen Qiang bought another newspaper and read it carefully.

There is still a lot of disaster relief news in this newspaper. After all, Nanjing is located along the Yangtze River, and the flood has attracted far more attention than in the north.

Although the flood occurred last year, the scope of this flood is too large and lasts for a long time, such as Wuhan soaked in water for more than two months. This is not the case in large cities such as Wuhan, but the situation is even worse in small places.

In some small cities, all but the sturdy buildings have collapsed, leaving people without houses and displaced.

To make matters worse, the floods inundated a lot of seedlings, which caused a crisis in the food supply, and people in many places were not drowned by the floods, but starved to death without anything to eat.

The government is not good for disaster relief, simply put, it did not invest money in disaster relief, so disaster relief has also become a long-term project, the flood disaster in the summer of 1931, this is almost the summer of 1932, it is said that all kinds of post-disaster reconstruction projects should be started, but the newspapers are still talking about the disaster relief plan!

When Chen Qiang saw these news, he couldn't help but think of some countries in the future, to build a project, first discuss it for a few years, and after the discussion, he found that the results of the previous discussion were outdated, and then a new round of discussion was conducted.

"By the time these people finished discussing how to use to help the disaster, it is estimated that all the victims have died!" Chen Qiang sighed with a disappointed expression.

He flipped the newspaper to the next page and saw an article written by a scholar in Nanjing.

The general meaning of this article is that the entire Jiangnan has been flooded, so the whole people should unite to tide over the difficulties, and the waste of money such as participating in the Olympics should not be done, and sending athletes to the distant United States to participate in the competition has no practical meaning.

Even if you win the championship, you won't be able to feed the victims, so all the money spent on sports should be donated to the victims of the disaster. Don't go to the Olympics until the country gets through it.

Another anti-Olympic voice, but this person's starting point is different, he is not on the position of the fall of the Northeast, but on the position of the flood in the south of the Yangtze River.

Looking at the turbulent river, Chen Qiang suddenly felt that this fundraising trip to Nanjing did not seem to be so easy.

……

After arriving in Nanjing, Chen Qiang saw several articles boycotting the Olympics and boycotting Western sports, and this time the person who wrote the article did not mention the Northeast or the flood, but spoke from the perspective of carrying forward the national arts.

There is an article that directly calls for "Chinese people should break away from 'foreign sports' and advocate 'local sports'!" Chinese, please be content to be Chinese, please find China's unique sports way from the rich heritage of Chinese culture! ”

There is also an article that reads: "In the future, sports should be based on national arts, and it is absolutely not advisable to import them!" Traditional Chinese sports contain a wealth of health preservation techniques, and among all the cultures in the world, there is no one as rich as Chinese culture. Dare to assert that China will undoubtedly be the first in the world in terms of the technique of dispelling illness and prolonging life! ”

Obviously, "local sports" also took the opportunity of Chinese athletes to participate in the Olympic Games and began to challenge "foreign sports"!

The media reports have also had a great impact on Chen Qiang's fundraising journey. Chen Qiang gave a speech at the Central National University, and in the end he raised only a few dozen yuan in donations. This is significantly lower than Chen Qiang's expectations.

Subsequently, Chen Qiang's fundraising at several other universities in Nanjing was also very unsuccessful, and some students even directly proposed to Chen Qiang that he should give up participating in the Olympics and donate all the money raised.

After the entire trip to Nanjing, Chen Qiang received a total of more than 300 donations, which was similar to the donation of a school at Tsinghua University.

People are easily influenced by public opinion, as it was in the thirties and in the twenty-first century. In the future anal sewing incident, there are eight cents for intestinal obstruction, and as soon as public opinion is guided, everyone scolds the hospital indiscriminately, and they feel that they are on the side of justice. As for the truth, it doesn't matter anymore.

It is also for this reason that Chen Qiang's fundraising trip in Nanjing encountered Waterloo.

According to Chen Qiang's original plan, the remaining 3,000 oceans, Nanjing, Shanghai, and Hangzhou, these three cities are almost together. But now it seems that the plan is still too idealistic.

Nanjing only raised 300 oceans, Chen Qiang felt that it was a loss, after all, the road fare from Peking to Nanjing was also quite expensive.

However, Chen Qiang still pinned his hopes on Shanghai. He had lived in Shanghai for a long time, and when he won the Far Eastern Games championship before, the Shanghai media also reported it emphatically. Moreover, Shanghai is the most prosperous city in the Far East, where there are many universities and rich people, Chen Qiang feels that he should be able to raise more than 1,000 yuan in Shanghai for the competition.

After arriving in Shanghai, Chen Qiang realized that he was wrong.

Now Shanghai, except for the concession, is almost in ruins!

The site of Fudan University is in Jiangwan, and in 128, the Jiangwan area became the location of the Japanese military camp, so Fudan had to move away and go to the Fudan High School in Xujiahui to attend classes.

Tongji University is in the Wusong area, which was bombed by the Japanese army at 128 and the school was destroyed.

Jiaotong University, the school building is also in Jiangwan, and it was blown up at 128 o'clock.

Chen Qiang's Labor University, where he practiced running before, was bombed only by the monument at the entrance and a bell tower.

Seeing this piece of ruins, Chen Qiang felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart.

The schools are gone, where else is he going to raise donations?

"You can only count on those church schools!" Chen Qiang said secretly in his heart.

In addition to national and private universities, there are many church schools in Shanghai. For example, the famous St. John's University, Aurora University, Hujiang University, etc., these church schools have a foreign background, and they are all located in the concession, so they were not damaged during the "128" period.

These church schools are also Chen Qiang's last hope for fundraising in Shanghai.
