Chapter 514: Before Weihaiwei

Yu Fang didn't turn around and attacked. Morrison was very happy, because the crowd was dry. The second officer was likely to be interviewed by him, so he immediately took out his business card and handed it over.

"Mr. Jiang Keywu, do you have a business card?"

Jiang Langwu took the business card, shook his head, and said, "I don't have a business card." You can call me Major

"Mr. Major, may I interview you?"

Morrison hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to get straight to the point, because he believed that the other party was a straightforward person who definitely did not like to be talked about, and instead of using words to tempt, it was better to directly state his purpose for approaching him.

"Interviews? Okay. Do you have a cigarette?

Jiang Langwu smiled, took out a copper chimney box from the pocket of his military uniform, opened it and lit it up, and it was already empty.

"Do you smoke a cigar or a cigarette?"

Morrison hurriedly pulled out a cigar from his briefcase, which contained a can of refined paper cigarettes. There are even a few packs of American candy and some small British gifts, which are essential equipment for a professional journalist and can come in handy when it matters.

"Whatever, you can play eggplant

Jiang Langwu took the cigar with a smile, then took out a box of matches, handled the cigar very skillfully, and then put it in his mouth and took a few puffs.

"Tell me, Mr. Reporter, what do you want to hear?" Jiang Keywu asked.

Morrison thought about it for a moment, and then asked, "Mr. Major, I have heard that many retired Chinese officers have fought against the Japanese colonial army on the Korean Peninsula in the past two years, as far as you know, are there any such people you know?" ”

Jiang Keywu snorted and said: "That's right, there are indeed a few officers I know who specially applied for retirement, and then went to North Korea to join the Korean anti-Japanese guerrillas as Chinese civilians and fight against the Japanese army, and a few people also died, and few people even knew their names." Of course, having said that, these retired Chinese officers went to Korea to fight against the Japanese army, which was purely a personal act and had nothing to do with the country and the government, and the accusations of the Japanese were completely unreasonable

The first few sentences are good, but the last few sentences have a bit of a flavor of wanting to cover up, which makes Morrison feel a little funny, but he doesn't laugh, because this is international politics, one thing in front of one, one thing behind the back, when Britain fought the Boers in South Africa, Germany and France behaved very representatively.

"Mr. Major, do your words imply that the Chinese military and government did not take effective measures to prevent retired officers from going to Korea to fight the Japanese army in the Korean War against Japan?"

Morrisun's question made Jiang Langwu a little embarrassed for a while, and he realized that the British reporter in front of him was not easy to deal with, this guy was a thorn, no wonder the Chinese naval colonel who led the team suggested that his subordinates "keep their distance" from this person.

Jiang Langwu came with several naval officers, although he hung a signboard of "Far East Peace Commission Liaison", but his main job was to act as a Korean translator, and stayed in the Korean guerrilla zone for a year, Jiang Keywu learned some superficial Korean dialect, this time the Korean anti-Japanese exiles were transferred internationally, this Korean translation is a big problem, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs turned to the 6th Military Department for help, so Jiang Langwu, who was about to pack up and return to the special operations brigade to report, was pulled by the 6th Military Department. Dressed in a naval uniform, he was sent to the "Far Eastern Peace Commission." "Act as a liaison.

Due to the large number of Koreans transported, each merchant ship must be equipped with a few officers who can speak Korean to maintain order, when Jiang Langwu followed the Chinese naval colonel who led the team to get on the ship, the colonel saw Morrison standing on the deck and looking around, so he hurriedly reminded his subordinates that he met Morrison and walked around, because this Australian was very cunning, in order to avoid being caught by him out of military secrets, it was best to keep a distance from him.

But Jiang Huwu didn't believe in this evil, in his opinion, isn't he just a foreign reporter, he has also been baptized in the war, the Japanese army is not afraid of artillery, machine guns, and is afraid of a small foreign reporter? But I want to think so, but Jiang Lingwu has not found a chance to compete with Mo Lixun, he has been busy mediating disputes between Koreans, these exiles have been on the battlefield, and their tempers are not good, plus they are about to go into exile, I don't know when I will be able to return to China, therefore, often a small friction can cause tension and confrontation, at this time, it is necessary for a translator like Jiang Huwu to play, otherwise, rely on the drunken crew or the British ** officer with his eyes on the top of his head, It will only make the situation out of control.

Fortunately, now that he is about to enter the port, the North Koreans in the cabin have come out to let off steam, Jiang Huwu is busy walking around, occasionally looking up, seeing Morrison leaning on the side of the bridge, feeling idle is also idle, so he simply came up to talk to Morrison a few tricks, to see what this foreign writer can do to make a naval colonel hide, and his cigarette is also finished, to see if he can fight the autumn breeze here in this Australian, so he walked on the bridge so "inadvertently", and in order to attract Morrison's attention, He even whistled deliberately, and he did it without incident.

As a result, within a few moves after this battle, Jiang Keywu found himself in the trap of Morrison's interview, and the other party changed his methods to test the role played by the Chinese central government and military in the Korean Anti-Japanese War, which was simply blatant.

Although Jiang Langwu is a little reckless, but he also has a lot of eyes, seeing Mo Lixun ask such a question, he knows that this interview may have to end immediately, because if he continues, it will be suspected of leaking secrets, and he will go to a military tribunal, although I heard that Mr. President will personally award Major Jiang Langwu with a medal, but a medal is not equal to a gold medal for avoiding death, and the military tribunal does not matter whether you are intentional or not, as long as you violate military discipline, it is iron-faced and ruthless.

Thinking of this, Jiang Langwu hurriedly threw away the cigar in his hand, pointed to the Weihai Weijun Port, which was getting closer and closer, and said: "I'm sorry, Mr. Morrison, I'm about to enter the port, I have to go and arrange it, those Koreans have a bad temper, if they get to the military port to fight, then there will be a look, if the British use this as an excuse to transfer the refugees to the second place: February, then we soldiers are derelict in their duties, and we have to go to the military court, let's talk later, and talk later." ”

The voice did not fall. He turned around and fled the bridge in a puff of smoke.

"A skilful officer."

Morrison commented, but since the other party had seen through his tricks, he was not reluctant, but he understood the change in Jiang Lingwu's attitude, after all, the rumors of China's support for the Korean anti-Japanese guerrillas were not confirmed by the governments of the great powers, although the Japanese newspapers had already clamored that it was the Chinese who provoked the war, but as an important part of international politics, neither the Entente nor the Allied Group had expressed public government statements on this issue.

At present, almost the whole world is speculating about the role of the Chinese and Russian governments in the great uprising against Japan in Korea, but the governments of various countries are pretending to be deaf and dumb, and this is the trick of international politics.

"International politics is unpredictable, and at the same time deceitful, there is both cooperation and confrontation between countries, and even allies must probably take their own interests as the only policy point, and it is clear that in the anti-Japanese movement of the Koreans, only China and Russia can play a key role, because only these two countries can benefit and benefit from the turmoil on the Korean Peninsula, for Russia. Once Japan is bogged down in the quagmire of war on the Korean Peninsula, then the Japanese expansion of Manchuria will be temporarily delayed, while Russia can use this time to consolidate their control over northern Manchuria and further monitor the interests of southern Manchuria.

For China. As soon as Japan is dragged into the quagmire of war on the Korean Peninsula, then China will get from this. In the past two years, we can all see the tremendous achievements made by this country in industrial construction and commercial exhibitions, although this achievement is inseparable from the support of Germany and the United States, but we must also admit that the explosion of the Korean anti-Japanese movement has created a relatively peaceful international environment in the Far East for such exhibitions, and because of the drag down of the Korean anti-Japanese war, the Japanese government simply does not have enough energy to distract from Chinese affairs. And once Japan, the only power in the Far East, loses its abundance, it restricts the interest of China's industrial exhibition. In this way, China's industry will look for every possible opportunity to grow in the cracks of commercial competition and trade confrontation among the great powers, and finally realize the dream of all patriots in this country, that is, to put the motherland on the road to becoming a strong country.

Those of you who are familiar with my style of reporting may remember the bold prediction I made two years ago, when I showed you the determination and will of the revolutionaries of this country, and at that time, like you, I never expected the "madman of the Far East." Commander-in-Chief Zhao was able to seize the central power of the country so quickly, and the political and diplomatic skills he displayed after coming to power showed that he was indeed the most suitable leader of the country. At least at this stage, under the leadership of President Zhao, the rise of this country is likely to be much greater than our most daring predictions and imaginations, I thought that this country, it may take decades for the country to really get rid of its backward situation, but now it seems that if this president can maintain his current level of political and military capabilities, then the country may soon be able to get rid of its current backwardness.

Of course, for a country that has lagged behind the world for hundreds of years, it is not enough to rely on a strong and wise leader, and the national fortune is also crucial in the process of the rise of a great power, and now the world situation is becoming increasingly tense, the smell of gunpowder in Europe is getting stronger and stronger, and the United States has been isolated from the world strategy, if Europe really breaks out a large-scale war because of the conflict in the Balkans, perhaps, it is good news for the rise of China, and the same is true for Japan.

Understanding this, perhaps we can understand the basic position of the Chinese on the Korean issue, moreover, they have obviously partially achieved their goal, in this crisis in Northeast Asia, Japan has indeed been dragged to exhaustion, without a period of respite, Japan is unable to recover its national strength, and because the war has saddled the Japanese government with heavy foreign debt, Japan's economy has also been struggling, compared with the dull Japanese market, the great powers seem to be more optimistic about China's market potential, and this, It can also be seen as one of the benefits that China has gained from the crisis in North Korea and Northeast Asia. ”

Morrison leaned against the railing of the bridge, carefully drafting the press release, and before he could finish writing, the merchant ship had already sailed into Weihaiwei Harbor and stopped at a remote spare dock.

Since it is a military port, it is not easy to go in and wander around, the British have set up a guard at the dock, all Korean anti-Japanese exiles will be placed in the designated place, and then screened, according to their wishes to decide where to go, in fact, at the beginning, the British proposed to use Yantai west of Weihaiwei as a refugee transit station, but was strongly opposed by the Chinese, and finally, the British government had to agree to Weihaiwei as a refugee transit station must admit that the "Northeast Asian crisis" did not develop into a warIn order to appease the Japanese government, the British government even ignored the opposition of the Chancellor of the Exchequer and used its government capacity to guarantee the Japanese government's raising of international public bonds.

Morrison was looking at the situation on the dock when he suddenly heard Jiang Lingwu's shout.

"Mr. Morrison. Looks like you've got big news to cover again. ”

Mr. Major stood under the bridge with a copy of the telegram in his hand.

"What's the news?" Morrison hurried off the bridge.

"Europe is at war!"

Mr. Major looked a little elated, which annoyed Morrison, but annoyed by annoyance, and Morrison really couldn't blame an Asian officer for gloating over the start of war in Europe. After all, they are right.

Europe did go to war.
