Chapter 894: Refugee Storm (Fourth Watch Completed)
As soon as Zhong Yi left on the front foot, Gong Weiqian found He Wenxi on the back foot.
"Lao He, you are too reckless!" Gong Weiqian complained, "Regarding the matter of winning Zhong Yi, didn't we reach an agreement before?" But why are you here again? β
"The main thing is that Zhong Yi took the initiative to mention this topic today." He Wenxi said, "I think this is a good opportunity, so I boldly tested it, judging from the results, it should be good, Zhong Yi obviously agrees with our party's proposition, and the Kuomintang is already detached." β
Gong Weiqian smiled bitterly: "Do you know what he told me on the top of the mountain just now?" β
He Wenxi said in a deep voice: "Did he mention this matter to you?" Does he know who you are? β
"What do you think?" Gong Weiqian smiled bitterly, "Zhong Yi has actually begun to doubt my identity for a long time, but there has been no conclusive evidence, but now that you are doing this, it is equivalent to directly finding out." β
"Pick it out, pick it out, anyway, now is the second period of cooperation between the KMT and the CCP." He Wenxi said disapprerovingly, "He can't do anything to us, besides, I don't think he will do anything to the two of us." β
Gong Weiqian shook his head and said: "On the top of the mountain just now, he told me that he has no good impression of the Kuomintang and no bad feelings towards our party, but he also doesn't want us to develop party members in the officer training class!" So Lao He, don't you understand? It's just that some of our actions are already known to him, and this time he came specifically to beat the two of us. β
"Did he say that?" He Wenxi frowned and said, "In this case, I'm really blind." β
"You still don't understand?" Gong Weiqian said in a deep voice, "Anyway, I saw it a long time ago, Zhong Yi just wants to be a pure soldier and doesn't want to get involved in politics." β
He Wenxi shook his head and said: "In the world of great disputes, every Chinese will be involved, he doesn't want to get involved in politics, he doesn't want to involve partisan disputes, is it possible?" β
Gong Weiqian said: "In short, our future work needs to be more hidden. β
"Got it." He Wenxi nodded, "I will pay more attention in the future." β
β¦β¦
On the way back to Yinjiang, Zhong Yi looked back leisurely.
If nothing else, Gong Weiqian should be talking to He Wenxi at this moment, right?
After this conversation, He Wenxi should not try to develop him into a Communist Party member, right?
But it's also interesting to think about it, as an underground party member, he was favored by unwitting party comrades and tried to develop into a member of the party, hehe.
Then again, Zhong Yi's move was really to protect He Wenxi and Gong Weiqian.
Otherwise, if He Wenxi really developed all the cadets of the officer training class into party members, this matter would not be able to be concealed, and Yu Liangzhen and President Chang would know sooner or later.
At that time, Principal Chang would not hesitate, and Yu Liangzhen would not be soft.
Because now the KMT and the CCP are cooperating, so they will not kill the CCP, it is too naΓ―ve!
Not to mention that Gong Weiqian and He Wenxi did not disclose the identities of Communist Party members, Yu Liangzhen is killing people now, but he is killing two Nationalist government officials, even if the two of them disclose the identities of the Communist Party, so what?
Therefore, Zhong Yi's move was really to protect He Wenxi and Gong Weiqian.
β¦β¦
At this time, in Shanghai, across the sea, a storm is brewing.
No. 21, Aidoya Road, French Concession, where the Damei Evening News is located.
Gaulder, editor-in-chief of the Great American Evening News, knocked on the office door of the publisher, Davis.
"Boss, have you heard?" "Yinjiang Mayor Zhong Yi has ordered 200,000 tons of corn from the United States, and this will have arrived at the Yinjiang terminal!" β
"Really?" Davis said blankly, "Why did you suddenly ask this?" β
"Don't you think it's big news?" "At present, more than 3 million Chinese refugees are gathered in the French Concession and the Public Concession, and the concession authorities are struggling with how to feed these refugees, and these refugees are even more miserable, even the daily rations cannot be guaranteed, at this time, the Yinjiang River across the Narrow Sea suddenly transported back 200,000 tons of corn from the United States!" β
Davis stared at him and said in a deep voice: "So you want to kidnap from a moral level and force Mayor Yinjiang to transfer corn to Shanghai?" β
"No, no, that's not what I meant." Gould spread his hands and said, "As the mayor of Yinjiang, Zhong Yi is only responsible for the 300,000 citizens of Yinjiang, and the more than 3 million refugees stranded in Shanghai are not his responsibility, so I am afraid that we will not be able to kidnap him from the moral level." β
After a pause, he said: "But we can issue a call for refugees stranded in Shanghai to go to Yinjiang, as long as they arrive in Yinjiang, Mayor Zhong Yi will not sit idly by and will definitely lend a helping hand." β
"It's a great idea." Davis praised and then added, "The problem is that the land transportation from Shanghai to Yinjiang has been completely blocked by the Japanese, so how can these more than 3 million refugees get there?" Do you want them to swim across the Narrow Sea? β
"That's why we need to build momentum through public opinion." "Pressure the Japanese government to open up the land passage and allow the refugees stranded in Shanghai to travel to Yinjiang for relief!" β
Davis said: "The Japanese government is quite unreasonable, and the Japanese army is even more barbaric, they will not let it go, or even if they agree on the surface, when these more than 3 million Chinese refugees really hit the road, most of them will be brutally persecuted by the Japanese army on the way, and even a massacre!" Haven't we become accomplices? β
Gauld said: "We can send reporters to accompany us and supervise the Japanese troops along the way. β
"Sending a reporter along?" Davis said, "Do you think the reporters can restrain the Japanese army?" β
Galder was dumbfounded.
After a long while, Davis said: "If you really want to help these refugees, then at the same time send a call to the entire shipping industry in Shanghai to provide free ferries to transport the refugees from the sea to Yinjiang!" On land, we can't guarantee the safety of refugees, but at sea, we still have British warships capable of keeping refugees safe! β
"Boss, you have a great idea!" "I'm going to write the article." β
In the evening of the same day, a supplement to the Damei Evening News published an article by Galder, formally calling on the more than 3 million refugees stranded in Shanghai to go to the Yinjiang River on the other side, and at the same time calling on the entire shipping industry in Shanghai to provide free ferries to ferry the refugees.
As soon as the news came out, the rest of the newspapers reprinted it.
All of a sudden, refugees are rushing to tell each other, shipping shipowners are meeting urgently, and an unprecedented refugee storm is taking shape.
