731 [Chess and Moves]
Chang Kaishen walked to the rostrum, tried the microphone, and began to speak:
"Comrades, friends, gentlemen, and ladies: It has been almost five years since the 'September 18 Incident' occurred, and we have gone through a lonely battle in Northeast China, Rehe and Chahar have resisted strong enemies, and have been forced to withdraw to southern Chahar, and now North China is in danger!"
Zhou Hexuan felt very surprised that Lao Jiang's speech today actually talked about national disasters and resistance against Japan as soon as he came.
In fact, don't look at Chang Kaishen's various perverse behaviors, and also prohibit newspapers from mentioning the word "anti-Japanese". However, when he spoke at the high-level meetings of the Kuomintang Party, especially at the military academy, he sang about saving the country.
I only heard Chang Kaishen continue: "China is a big country, and it will be defeated in every battle for a hundred years, what is the reason for this? Tracing back to the source, it is because our thinking is not advanced enough. When ideas fall behind, science and culture fall behind. The unification and rise of Germany gave priority to education; Japan's development and rise also place the highest priority on education. The strength of a country should be measured not only by its economy, industry and commerce, and military, but also by how many writers, thinkers, scientists, and economists it has produced! ”
"Germany is very good at this, Einstein is a German, Planck is a German, Hegel is a German, Nietzsche is a German, Koch is a German...... The list could go on and on, and it can be said that the post-war revival of Germany had a lot to do with these gentlemen. ”
"What about us, China? Chinese culture has a long history, but in modern times, there are almost no great people in the academic world. This is where we must face it! If China wants to unify and rise, and if it wants to resist foreign aggression, it must not only catch up economically and militarily, but also develop in the cultural and scientific fields. ”
"I am glad that we now have Nobel laureates in China. And Japan doesn't, the rest of East Asia as a whole doesn't, and that's where we're stronger than Japan. I believe that if we do a good job in education now, we will win more and more Nobel Prizes in the future! ”
What does this mean? It shows that China is no worse than Japan, and this is true of culture and science, as well as of economy and military. What we need to do most now is to carry forward the legacy of the former Prime Minister Mr. Nakayama, do our utmost to accomplish the great cause of reunification, and maintain the status quo of peace as much as possible. China is ten times larger than Japan in terms of its vast land and vast population, and as long as we are at ease and immersed in development, we will one day be able to surpass Japan in all aspects. At that time, with the brilliant division and the dignified array, it will be enough to dominate Asia and sweep away the small country of Yuer in the east! ”
Zhou Hexuan sweated wildly, this Nima has come back again, and it is still necessary to be outside and inside first.
Let's not play the routine, okay?
Lao Jiang's speech continued, and after 20 minutes, the medal awarding ceremony finally officially began.
Zhou Hexuan walked onto the stage in a crisp Mao suit, and a staff member came with a tray.
Chang Kaishen first picked up the medal certificate, opened it and read: "The literary scholar Zhou Hexuan, because of his outstanding learning, fame abroad, and winning glory for the country, is now awarded a first-class medal to Qingyun in accordance with the regulations on the awarding and awarding of the Medal of the Republic of China!" President of the Republic of China: Lin Sen. President of the Executive Yuan: Chang Kaishen. July 2, 25th year of the Republic of China. ”
Putting the certificate back on the tray, Chang Kaishen picked up the medal again and said with a smile: "Mingcheng, congratulations!" ”
"Thank you!" Zhou Hexuan bowed his head and bent over.
The first-class Qingyun Medal comes with a special ribbon, and Chang Kaishen raised the wide ribbon and hung it on Zhou Hexuan's shoulder carefully and carefully.
Zhou Hexuan looked at the medal shaking on his chest, and secretly prayed in his heart: Don't fall off, otherwise the scene will be embarrassing.
In the era of the Republic of China, anything strange could happen, let's talk about the highest-level jade mining medal. Some use inferior jade to pass off as Hetian jade, not to mention, the workmanship is sometimes good and bad, and there have even been miracles when the medal was awarded, and the jade fell from the top of the medal.
Whose face is this?
"Bang bang bang!"
The audience applauded thunderously, reporters took pictures frantically, and all kinds of envious and jealous eyes fell on Zhou Hexuan.
This is the first first-class Qingyun Medal issued by the Republic of China, and it is personally awarded by Chang Kaishen, which is of great significance, almost equivalent to a gold medal for avoiding death.
Of course, it doesn't work when you meet two stunned people, such as the prince Kong.
After the medal was awarded, Weng Wenhao, secretary general of the Executive Yuan, took the stage to preside over the commendation meeting, mainly to commend Zhou Hexuan for winning the Nobel Prize, and also rewarded Zhou Hexuan with 2,000 yuan.
Near noon, all the processes were over, and Zhou Hexuan was surrounded by reporters for an interview.
Chang Kaishen quietly called Dai Jitao aside and asked, "Brother Jitao, why are you making trouble with juniors?" It's not like that. ”
Dai Jitao said with a smile: "Chairman, the momentum of the Kong family is too strong, it's not a good thing, it's time to press it." ”
Chang Kaishen was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then nodded and said, "Understood." ”
"The Chen brothers must also be beaten, otherwise the tail will inevitably be too big." Dai Jitao said again.
It turned out that Dai Jitao's nonsense just now was that the drunkard did not mean to drink, but was admonishing Chang Kaishen in a special way. No matter how much you say in normal times, it is not as useful as directly attacking the Kong family, which can quickly attract Lao Jiang's attention.
There is a sentence that describes the four major families of the Republic of China: the Jiang family, the Chen family, and the Song sisters, Kong Jiacai.
With Wang Zhaoming's resignation and Kong Xiangxi's leadership of currency reform, the factional balance of the Nationalist government in Nanjing has been upset. The Kong and Chen families now control the financial power and the political party, respectively, and if they are not suppressed, it is very likely that their continuation will threaten Chang Kaishen's dictatorship.
There are two ways to solve the problem, one is to adjust the structure of official positions, and the other is to promote new people to mix sand.
However, the key issue is the specific implementation, and the operation must be fast, accurate, and ruthless, otherwise it will cause dissatisfaction and resistance from the Confucian and Chen families.
Being made such a fuss by Dai Jitao in front of everyone, Chang Kaishen immediately woke up, seriously thinking about this serious problem, and he subconsciously asked, "What is Brother Jitao's good plan?" ”
Dai Jitao said: "There is already a rough plan, but we have to wait for the Third Plenary Session of the Fifth Central Committee early next year." ”
Waiting for the National Congress of the Kuomintang, that is, to adjust the official system, Dai Jitao obviously wants to make a big move to solve the problem of factional balance once and for all.
Chang Kaishen nodded with satisfaction, he had great trust in Dai Jitao's sincerity and ability, and he could let this gentleman do it.
This is how the dictatorship was consolidated step by step, first appointing the Confucian family and the Chen family to squeeze out Wang Zhaoming, waiting for Wang Zhaoming to step down, and then promoting a new generation of henchmen to suppress the Confucian family and the Chen family. Even, the spy system headed by Dai Li and others is also within the scope of Lao Jiang's suppression.
The political situation is like a chess game, Lao Jiang is the one who plays chess, and Dai Jitao is responsible for standing behind him to support the moves.
