Chapter 339: The Death of the Great Traitor
Qin Di hurriedly grabbed his hand and said, "Dad, this easter egg will be given to you!" You keep it for yourself, if you let others see it, just say it's an imitation, don't say it's a genuine product. ”
In fact, even if it is recognized as genuine, it is not a big deal, because Qin Di opened two art trading companies in New York, and 14 Tsar Easter eggs have been lost to the United States this year, and because of the war, the price of Easter eggs is not sky-high.
This is like the bronze head of the 12 zodiac beasts in the Old Summer Palace, who knew that it was a treasure in the early years? Later, the Chinese wanted to spend a lot of money to buy it back, so it became a treasure.
The same is true of Tsar's eggs, and later Russian merchants became more developed and were willing to pay $100 million to buy the eggs back, so the price was raised.
Qin Hancheng grabbed the easter egg: "Ah Di, where did this thing come from?"
Qin Di said with a smile: "Of course we robbed it! We have traveled thousands of miles to Europe, are we still running in vain?"
"You, you...... How can you get such a treasure from a well-defended place in a strange country? Tell me, is this stored in a Soviet museum? Or is it the private collection of some Soviet generalissimo?"
"We didn't loot in the USSR, but found treasures in Germany. The Germans are plundering everywhere, and we are black and black......"
"Oh, it's so dangerous! Why are you so bold?
"Hehe, Yan Xue and I are not ordinary people, so ah, don't take us so seriously, we have to go out to look for business opportunities, if we don't go out for a walk, how can there be such an opportunity?"
"What kind of business opportunity? It's obviously a thief, but I didn't expect the old Qin family, who is so rich and rich, that there will be a thief like you!"
"Hmph, what about thieves? If I don't say it, who in the world knows? Dad, do you dare to go out and talk about it?"
"I ...... I don't dare ......."
Qin Hancheng just talked about it, turned around and went into the bedroom with the easter egg, took a box with jewelry, and carefully put the easter egg in it, he wanted to take a look at it every night before going to bed, so that he could dream happily.
Qin Di didn't mention that he had grabbed a large number of gold and silver treasures along the way. He can't take out calligraphy and paintings, and he doesn't want to toss gold and silver anymore, because gold and silver are inherently currency, and they are the currency that can best retain value. But those dollars, pounds, German marks, and Swiss francs still need to be dealt with in a timely manner. Otherwise, once these countries change to a new currency, the old version may become obsolete and thus become waste paper.
However, dealing with these currencies is not an urgent matter. Just deal with it in ten years.
This was the end of October 1944, and there was a very good opportunity to take advantage of the time when Japan surrendered in 1945 and Hong Kong's economy was in chaos to buy a large number of real estate in Hong Kong and Macao.
Then Qin Di and Yan Xue stayed at home honestly, telling stories to the children every day, taking a look at their homework, and reading the reports sent by major companies by the way.
A month earlier, when Qin Di was still in Europe, there were some changes in China's frontal battlefield.
On September 14, Chen Munong, the commander of the 93rd Army, led his troops to retreat without a fight, and the Japanese army conquered Quanzhou, the gateway to Guidong, Guangxi, and opened the door to attack Guilin and Liuzhou. The authorities in Guilin suddenly ordered an emergency evacuation, leaving many people displaced and suffering from death.
On September 20, Chen Munong was sentenced to death for abandoning his positions in the state.
Why do you say this? If you don't fight, you will die, but if you fight, you will not necessarily die, it is better to fight to the death, even if you are defeated, you will have a reason to retreat!
Moreover, as long as the front head is resisted, and the people in the back have time to evacuate, so many people will not die!
On October 5, Fuzhou fell. On the 11th, Liuzhou fell. On the 12th, the Japanese army captured Guiping, Guangxi, and all the Chinese defenders were killed.
On October 14, the Qing Innocent Party proposed "one inch of rivers and mountains, one inch of blood, 100,000 young people and 100,000 troops" to mobilize intellectual youth to join the army. The promulgated "Measures for the Recruitment of Young Intellectuals to the Army" stipulates that 100,000 young intellectuals will be recruited into the army at one time, and all young people who are over 18 years old and under 35 years old and have an intermediate level of knowledge can sign up for the competition as long as they are in good health.
With the collapse of the frontal battlefield of the Qingbai Party in Henan, Hunan and Guizhou, large swathes of South China were occupied by the Japanese army, and the area behind the enemy lines was quite empty. The 359th Brigade of the Kyushu Army was ordered to form an independent first detachment of more than 4,000 people, with Wang Zhen as commander and Wang Shoudao as political commissar. Crossing the Yellow River to the south, it advanced behind enemy lines in Henan, Hubei, Hunan, and Guangdong.
On November 10, David Wang died of illness in Nagoya, Japan, at the age of 61. Subsequently, Chen Gongbo was appointed acting chairman of the puppet Nanjing government, president of the Executive Yuan, and chairman of the Military Commission.
In the early years, after Wang David was injured by Sun Fengming, the bullet was not taken out. It was not until 1943 that the gunshot wound recurred, and Suzuki Koei, a lieutenant general medical officer of the Japanese Army Hospital in Nanjing, personally took out the warhead for Wang Po's back. However, because the lead poison is still in the body, the pain in Wang's back and spine is increasing day by day, and it affects the waist and neck. It was not until November 10, 1944 that he died in the hospital after ineffective rescue! In accordance with the specifications of the head of state, Japan specially prepared a golden silk nanmu coffin for the big traitor, and prepared to send it back by a special plane.
So why didn't David Wang die and not be buried in Japan? Because he had already said that if he died, he hoped to be buried next to the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum to keep a vigil for Mr. Sun. Isn't that funny?
Therefore, the Japanese government used a special plane, the "Pourin," to transport Wang David's body back to Nanjing.
In order to express the national mourning and solemnity, Wang's puppet government executive order forced the primary and secondary school students in Jinling at that time to meet the coffin at the airport. For this reason, we gave each child who went to meet him a canned fish. These children were also asked to wrap a piece of black yarn around their arms! Therefore, the pick-up scene still looked very grand.
On November 23, Wang's puppet government held a grand funeral ceremony for David Wang. All the citizens of the occupied areas have a day off. In order to prevent the ceremony from being relatively deserted, the puppet government released a big incentive to stipulate that as long as the citizens came to attend the funeral, each person would be given 20 yuan of central reserve coupons, which was worth more than the ocean at that time! 20 yuan was equivalent to a month's salary of the citizens of Jinling at that time, so many people also came under such a big benefit.
But more people would rather not have money than come to the funeral of the big traitor.
After seemingly lively and solemn mourning activities and funeral ceremonies, David Wang's coffin was sent to Meihua Mountain next to the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum in Nanjing for burial! A year later, Japan surrendered, and his mausoleum was blown up by Mr. Qing! His bones were sent to the Qingliangshan Crematorium for cremation.
