Chapter 201: Public Opinion War
Wuhan, Luojia Mountain listens to Songlu.
It had been several minutes since the noon broadcast of the Voice of Nanjing, but Chairman Chiang, a group of aides, and Xiao Tongzi, president of the Central News Agency, were still immersed in the sad mood just now.
After a long time, Chairman Jiang sighed softly, pulling everyone's thoughts back to reality.
Chairman Jiang sighed lightly, turned to Wang Shihe and said, "Shihe, this matter will be handed over to you." ”
Chairman Jiang's words have no beginning or end, but as the chief of the guard who has been with him for many years, Wang Shihe instantly understood what Chairman Jiang meant.
At that moment, Wang Shihe said solemnly: "Let Yu Jiemin go back to Fenghua!" ”
Wang Shihe's meaning was not only to let the guard Yu Jiemin dictate Cao Jun's suicide note to his old mother, but also to convey the order of the attendant's office, so that Fenghua County could properly arrange Cao Jun's mother's life.
Chairman Jiang nodded and said: "We must pay attention to the work of bereavement for the families of the fallen soldiers in the future, and we must not let our soldiers shed both blood and tears!" ”
Qian Dajun nodded again and again when he heard this.
After giving two instructions on the compensation work for the fallen soldiers, Chairman Jiang's thinking immediately returned to the defense of Nanjing itself, and said to several henchmen around him and Xiao Tongzi: "You say, where is Zhong Yi singing?" ”
"It's not easy." Zheng Jiemin hurriedly replied, "It's nothing more than to appease the hearts of the officers and soldiers of the 367th Regiment, so that they can devote themselves to the battle without distraction!" ”
"It's not just that." He Jinhan shook his head and said, "This move can also greatly boost the morale of the officers and soldiers of the 367th Regiment!" ”
"What Brother Junshan said is extremely true." Qian Dajun gave He Zhenhan a good praise without a trace, and then continued, "This noble letter of martyr Cao Jun is not only brilliant, but more importantly, it is sincere, showing a young man's family and patriotism to the fullest, and the officers and soldiers of the 367th Regiment listened to the radio, and their hearts to serve the country to the death must be more firm!" ”
Xiao Tongzi on the side couldn't help but interject and said, "I'm afraid it's more than that." ”
"Oh?" Chairman Jiang asked with great interest, "What is President Xiao's opinion?" ”
Xiao Tongzi said: "This sincere suicide note of martyr Cao Jun can not only greatly boost the morale of the 367th Regiment and strengthen the will of the officers and men of the regiment to serve the country to the death, but also greatly boost the morale of the military and people of the whole country, and at the same time greatly strengthen the determination of the whole Chinese military and people to resist the war, which is particularly important for China at present!" ”
Xiao Tongzi is worthy of propaganda, in one sentence! But Chairman Chiang has a different view!
"President Xiao is worthy of engaging in propaganda work, and his vision is unique!" Chairman Jiang first praised him, and then then said, "But President Xiao, you still missed the most important point!" ”
Xiao Tongzi was stunned in his heart, but said on the surface: "Please also ask the chairman to solve your doubts." ”
Chairman Jiang smiled slightly, and then said: "The real intention of Zhong Yi's move is probably for the sake of the 100,000 soldiers who are still stranded in Nanjing City at this moment!" ”
Several henchmen and staff members suddenly felt a pang in their hearts.
yes, how did we forget that?
Chairman Jiang asked Qian Dajun again: "Mu Yin, have you contacted the 367 regiment?" ”
"This ......" Qian Dajun's head immediately dripped, and he replied, "Not yet, the lowly has been asking the telegraph operator of the communications office to call the 367 regiment non-stop, but so far, there has been no response." ”
"This Zhong Yi." Chairman Jiang's brows immediately frowned, "Why don't you respond?" ”
After pondering for a moment, Chairman Jiang said again: "If it really doesn't work, let the military commander send someone to find Zhong Yi directly, in short, no matter what, you must contact the 367th regiment before tomorrow!" ”
……
Almost at the same time, Hirohito also called several ministers to the Imperial Palace.
However, in comparison, the atmosphere of the imperial palace is much more dignified than listening to Songlu.
The reason is very simple, because the Japanese army's military operation in Nanjing was very unsmooth, and after a morning of hard fighting, not only failed to destroy the remnants of the stubborn Nationalist army, but paid a heavy price!
This list of losses includes more than 500 valiant Imperial soldiers, six Type 95 light tanks, plus more than 800 guns and more than 10 grenadiers!
Although in terms of quantity alone, this loss is actually nothing.
But considering that this figure is only a morning's loss, and not an ambush, but a frontal battle with the enemy's casualties, this is quite rare!
However, it wasn't this that really made the atmosphere of the palace stagnate!
What really caused the atmosphere of the palace to become solemn was that the national army actually started a live broadcast like this!
Just now, Hirohito and the others listened to the radio of the national army, and there was a Chinese interpreter on the scene all the time.
After listening to the broadcast of the national army, Hirohito's face sank suddenly, and the atmosphere in the imperial palace froze!
Because, the quality of the radio program of the national army is unexpectedly high, even better than the program produced by the ace host of NHK radio station, Hibino Miko!
This is not a good thing for the Japanese army and even for Japan as a whole!
In the face of Hirohito's sinister gaze, the head of the War Department, Shimomura, was really on pins and needles.
Shimomura must want to say that whoever comes up with the bad idea of live broadcast should be responsible for it, but he doesn't have the guts! Because the battle of Nanking was broadcast live on the radio, and His Majesty the Emperor agreed!
Whoever dares to question the live broadcast is to slap the emperor in the face!
Under Hirohito's gaze, fine beads of sweat quickly oozed from Shimomura's forehead.
Wiping his sweat, Shimomura Ding paused and said: "Your Majesty the Emperor, this morning's defeat is actually not unexpected, after all, the imperial army lacks the necessary preparations, and the heavy artillery has not had time to be transported into the city of Nanjing, and the Zhina troops in Xinjiekou are also the most difficult Zhong Yi 367 Regiment, so, so ......"
"Shimomura-kun, you don't have to explain." Hirohito waved his hand to interrupt Shimomura and said, "I am not disappointed with this morning's loss, and I will not be discouraged by it, what really makes me dissatisfied is the performance of NHK Radio in the morning, please be sure to tell NHK Radio that I hope to hear something interesting during this evening's broadcast!" ”
"Hello!" Shimomura sat up on his knees after a moment, and then paused heavily, "The minister will definitely convey His Majesty's edict to NHK Broadcasting, and to Miss Hibino Miko!" ”
"Yo Si." Hirohito nodded happily, "Go ahead." ”
"Hello!" Shimomura paused again, got up and retreated out of the palace.
Seeing Shimomura's figure leave, Hirohito frowned and said to the remaining ministers, "You say, I took the initiative to provoke this live broadcast public opinion war, will it be a wrong decision?" ”
"No, it won't." Several ministers shook their heads.
