725 [Flickering to the end]
Nanjing, resting house.
Chang Kaishen has been in a good mood recently, because the "Liangguang Incident" is about to be completely resolved.
The so-called "Liangguang Incident" was that Chen Jitang in Guangdong, as well as Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi in Guangxi, waved their troops to the territory of the Central Army under the sign of "going north to resist Japan," and almost set off a new round of large-scale civil war in the south.
When Hu Shi met with Zhou Hexuan some time ago, he scolded the main battle faction for harboring different intentions, and resisting Japan was just a gimmick to provoke a civil war.
In fact, the warlords of Liangguang can't be blamed for this, because it was Chang Kaishen who took the lead in playing the tricks.
We know that the Kuomintang in the 30s had three major leaders, one was Chang Kaishen, the second was Wang Zhaoming, and the third was Hu Hanmin. These three people have great prestige in the party, and they are afraid of each other, and they dare not completely tear their faces.
The last time Chang Kaishen and Hu Hanmin tore their faces, the result was the establishment of a new central government in Guangzhou, and Chang Kaishen directly announced his resignation.
Finally, Hu Hanmin fell ill and died in May, and the warlords of Liangguang lost their political support.
Chang Kaishen saw the hope of unifying the south, and he sent Sun Ke to Guangzhou to offer condolences, and in the name of the central government's righteousness and the unification of the War of Resistance, he demanded the reorganization of the local governments of Guangdong and Guangxi. To put it bluntly, it is to let Chen Jitang, Li Zongren, and Bai Chongxi surrender obediently and give up the local military and political power.
Lao Chiang represented the central government, and his order was reasonable, but the warlords of Liangguang did not want to tie their hands down.
As a result, Chen Jitang, Li Zongren, and Bai Chongxi rose up with troops, but they did not dare to directly attack the central government, so they could only hold high the banner of "anti-Japanese".
The "anti-Japanese" of Liangguang was very nonsense, and they actually received assistance from the Japanese. In order to support the anti-Japanese resistance in Guangzhou, Japan sent a large number of pilots to Baiyun Airport to guide Chen Jitang's anti-Japanese air force, and I heard that it also supported Chen Jitang with an anti-Japanese fund.
That's hilarious!
Chen Jitang's air force did not want to be guided by Japanese pilots to resist Japan, so a mutiny broke out directly, and dozens of Guangdong fighters took the initiative to fly to the central government, making Lao Jiang smile from ear to ear.
While Lao Jiang was mobilizing troops to quell the rebellion, he once again played his old business, using money and official positions to plot against enemy generals, and bribed Zhang Fakui and Yu Hanmou and other Guangdong generals.
Chen Jitang instantly became the commander of the light pole, so angry that he wanted to vomit blood, and then complained that his brother's feng shui skills were unprofessional.
Chen Jitang's elder brother Chen Weizhou, a famous feng shui magician, specially went to inspect the ancestral tomb of Lao Jiang, and came to the conclusion that the ancestral tomb of the Jiang family is far inferior to the dragon power of the ancestral tomb of the Chen family in Furong Ridge. When Hong Xiuquan buried his mother, he chose the ancestral grave in Furong Mountain, saying that this is the place where the Son of Heaven was born. Hong Xiuquan only consumed a small amount of dragon qi in Furong Mountain, and the remaining dragon qi could help the Chen family achieve the Ninth Five-Year Honor, and the ancestral tomb of the Jiang family over there in Fenghua was just a pediatric.
Well, although it is absurd, this is Chen Jitang's greatest confidence in raising troops against Chiang.
Therefore, the business is not good, which is very harmful.
Now that most of his troops have been bought by Lao Jiang, Chen Jitang no longer wants to fight, and is sending people to Nanjing to discuss the surrender of Cheng. As long as Chen Jitang in Guangdong surrenders, Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi in Guangxi can only withdraw their troops, and Lao Jiang can take Guangdong without blood.
"Bench, Mr. Zhou is here!" The attendant lieutenant reported.
Chang Kaishen sorted out his clothes, sat on the sofa and said, "Please let him in." ”
The door opens.
Chang Kaishen caught a glimpse of Zhou Hexuan taking half a step, suddenly got up to greet him, and said with a smile: "Oh, Ming Gong, I have lost my welcome, brother, I have offended!" ”
"How dare you, the chairman of the committee can call me a word." Zhou Hexuan said with a smile.
Chang Kaishen's attitude of speaking varies from person to person, and he has done a lot of work on the surface. At the beginning of the year, tens of thousands of students gathered in Nanjing to petition against Japan, and Chang Kaishen faced the angry professors and students, and when he spoke, he said "brother" and "brother me", and his humble and sincere tone touched many students.
As long as you don't take a clear stand against Chang Kaishen, the more famous a person is, the more respectful Chang Kaishen will be.
This is a person who worships the son if he doesn't agree with him!
At this moment, Chang Kaishen took Zhou Hexuan's hand and said: "Mingcheng relieved the country's difficulties, helped solve the silver crisis, and won the Nobel Prize, which greatly increased the popularity of our country, and deserves the honorific title of 'Ming Gong'." ”
Zhou Hexuan said with a smile: "The chairman of the committee praises falsely. ”
The two sat down to say a few words and chatted about the Nobel Prize and the Olympic Games, and Chang Kaishen suddenly asked: "I heard that Mingcheng has a relationship with German Chancellor Hitler?" ”
"It's a good talk." Zhou Hexuan nodded.
Chang Kaishen also said: "I have been friends with Mr. Hitler for a long time, and I have always wanted to meet him in person. In Mingcheng's view, what kind of person was Hitler? ”
"Paranoid artists." Zhou Hexuan said.
"How?" Chang Kaishen asked.
Zhou Hexuan explained: "Hitler was a man of great artistic talent, and his dream in his youth was to become a painter, but he was rejected by the Viana Academy of Arts, and then he turned to the political arena. ”
Chang Kaishen was a little surprised and asked, "How is Mr. Hitler's painting skills?" ”
"He is good at and believes in classicism," Zhou Hexuan laughs, "but what is popular in Europe is modernism, as well as all kinds of avant-garde, which is the fundamental reason why he was rejected from art academies." In fact, Hitler's paintings, although not top-notch works of art, were more than enough to be admitted to the Vienna Academy of Arts. When Hitler failed to make the list, he said: The Vienna Academy of Arts did not admit him, and the world must have suffered a heavy loss. ”
Chang Kai Shenle said: "If you lose the east, you will reap the mulberry elm." It was a good thing that the art academy did not admit Mr. Hitler, otherwise the Germans would have lost a great chancellor. ”
"Perhaps." Zhou Hexuan held back a smile.
"I heard that Mr. Hitler also gave Mingcheng a pistol and wanted to keep you as an adviser to the Führer?" Chang Kaishen asked again.
Zhou Hexuan admitted: "There is such a thing, but I refused, and only accepted the pistol designed by him." ”
Chang Kaishen praised: "Mingcheng is really a pillar of talent, and Mr. Hitler is also a discerning hero." Mingcheng, you have refused to be recruited several times, I know you don't like to be an official, so you might as well be my personal advisor. ”
"Forget it." Zhou Hexuan shook his head.
"Why?" Chang Kaishen asked.
Zhou Hexuan replied without saltiness: "I'm afraid that you won't ask." My idea is for the whole people to form an anti-Japanese united front, will you adopt it? ”
"Uh," Chang Kaishen smiled awkwardly, "Governing the country is a major matter, and we must distinguish priorities." ”
Zhou Hexuan said: "When the national disaster is at the head, the outside is the master, and the inside is secondary. My views are the opposite of the chairman's, so how can I be your advisor? ”
In fact, Chang Kaishen invited Zhou Hexuan as a consultant just because he valued his fame. Hitler has sent out an invitation to his advisers, Chang Kaishen can't help but express his position, otherwise wouldn't he be ridiculed and don't know anyone?
Also, Zhou Hexuan has written two articles in a row recently, and he has been too active, and Chang Kaishen also has the idea of recruiting An.
Chang Kaishen also said: "Recently, I read Ming Cheng's article, and it is very well written, especially the theory of war and peace. How did you get the data in your article? More detailed than my intelligence. ”
Zhou Hexuan had a headache about this, so he could only explain it in the old way: "I am the Asian deacon of the 'Freemasonry'. ”
"Freemasonry?" Chang Kaishen was confused.
Zhou Hexuan flickered: "Freemasonry is a worldwide secret organization, born in 1701, the concept is to promote the spirit of fraternity, charity and virtue, and the ultimate pursuit is to explore the meaning of human existence. Our members are academics, businessmen, and politicians, including some scholars and politicians in Japan, so I have some information about Japan. Does the chairman remember "Tanaka's Sonata" a few years ago? That's what I got through Freemasonry. ”
For "Tanaka Song", Chang Kaishen also sent someone to investigate back then, but did not get any information.
Chang Kaishen was surprised: "The Japanese government also has your people? ”
"That's right," Zhou Hexuan continued to flicker, "just because I made the Tanaka Concert public, which caused the Japanese Freemasonry to suffer. Most of our Japanese Freemasons are civilian, and in recent years Japan has carried out two coups d'état, and two-thirds of the Freemasons have been purged. Therefore, for Sino-Japanese diplomacy, we Freemasons cannot help. If the chairman of the committee had sent someone to Japan to make a careful investigation, you would have known that Freemasonry had been listed as an illegal organization by the Japanese military department. ”
Chang Kaishen asked, "Are there any other members of Freemasonry in China?" ”
"Yes, but not many, there are only three including me," Zhou Hexuan said nonsense, "not everyone can join the Freemasonry, and there are not many people in China who are qualified to join." Rest assured, Chairman, Freemasonry is not a partisan, but a civil organization. Roosevelt, for example, was a former Freemason, so I could easily communicate with him. But since Roosevelt was elected president of the United States, he was expelled from Freemasonry because some of his policies were contrary to the interests of Freemasonry. ”
"The president of the United States was also a former Freemason, and he was expelled from Freemasonry?" Chang Kaishen was stunned when he heard this.
"Yes," Zhou said, "although Freemasonry used to orchestrate the French Revolution, now we are less concerned with politics and pursue mainly business and academia." Hitler had also wanted to join the Freemasonry, but he was not qualified, although he maintained a slight connection with the Freemasonry. The last time I went to Germany, I talked to Hitler, and he promised to support China as much as possible. For example, selling weapons to China at a low price, I mean even lower, he personally promised me. ”
Chang Kaishen turned his head in his heart, nodded calmly: "Indeed, this time for the arms deal with Germany, they are willing to reduce the price again, and the transaction volume has also increased. Mingcheng, can you use the Freemasonic relationship to fight for more benefits for China? ”
"Yes, but mainly academically," Mr. Zhou said, "Einstein was a Freemason, and he promised to come back to China next year." Didn't the Curies come to China two months ago? They are also members of Freemasonry and have promised me to help Chinese research institutes improve their research in physical chemistry. ”
"Can't it be something else? Such as diplomacy and economic support. Chang Kaishen said.
"It's hard," Zhou said, shaking his head, "especially the United Kingdom, the United States, and Japan, which are cracking down on Freemasonic forces. And in the USSR, there was no place for Freemasonry, you must know that Lenin was also a Freemason, but after they seized power, they turned their faces. ”
Hearing Lenin's name, Chang Kaishen was completely numb and asked, "How is the development of Freemasonry in China?" ”
Zhou Hexuan said with a smile: "The headquarters has no interest in China, they think China is too backward, and I joined the Freemasonry when I traveled to Europe." ”
Chang Kaishen was skeptical of Zhou Hexuan's words, and when he turned around, he asked people to inquire about Freemasonry, and then, like Kenji Dohihara, was directly frightened by various rumors of Freemasonry. At the same time, he also attaches more importance to Zhou Hexuan, which is the kind of real attention, rather than just paying attention to Zhou Hexuan's fame.
The day after the two chatted, the Nanjing government officially held an award ceremony, and Chang Kaishen personally awarded Zhou Hexuan the Qingyun Medal.
