Chapter 17: Propaganda War (Part II)
6.17 Propaganda War II
"Then you can't knock over a boatload of people with a single rod? There are also brave fighters in the army! For example......"
Dai Mengru's words were interrupted by Fang Xiaoqian in the middle of speaking, Fang Xiaoqian threw herself into Dai Mengru's arms, and said with a smile:
"Are you going to talk about your General Huang again? You don't remember what they just gave you so quickly? ”
Dai Mengru was told by Fang Xiaoqian about her heart disease in front of the public, and she was so anxious that she covered Fang Xiaoqian's mouth. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Fang Xiaoqian felt depressed and struggled desperately, Dai Mengru leaned into Fang Xiaoqian's ear and said:
"If you promise not to mess around again, I'll let you go, blink if you want....."
Fang Xiaoqian's big eyes immediately blinked, and Dai Mengru let her go.
Fang Xiaoqian took a few deep breaths with her mouth long, and then turned her head to express her protest against Dai Mengru.
Dai Mengru's heart is actually very sour, the interview plan arranged for her by the Ministry of Military Affairs a few days ago was completely destroyed by Huang Haoran, Huang Haoran himself did not show up at all that day, but just asked his deputy Wang Huanzhi to send a manuscript to Dai Mengru, which was written with some formulaic content, saying that it was just asking Reporter Dai to look at it.
Perhaps, Huang Haoran has not even figured out whether Dai Mengru is a man or a woman until now.
Dai Mengru felt that one of her hearts had been ruthlessly hit.
Huang Haoran, Huang Haoran! Is it so hard for me to see you?
Dai Mengru stomped her little feet hatefully, but Fang Xiaoqian was only angry and stared towards the wall of the bomb shelter in a daze......
After another ten minutes, there was still no sound of explosion, Fang Xiaoqian was clamoring to go out to have a look, Dai Mengru said this time that he would not let this crazy girl leave, the sisters were in a stalemate, and a few people ran in from outside the air-raid shelter, and the soldiers who had just changed positions and stood at the entrance of the cave immediately greeted them and asked:
"Brother, what the hell is going on outside? Didn't the Japanese come to drop bombs? ”
The person who ran in gasped for breath and couldn't speak for a while, so he could only hold up a few newspaper-like things and shake them desperately towards the people in the cave.
It seems that the answer is on it.
A soldier in a lieutenant colonel's uniform took it and immediately unfolded it, and then glanced at it hurriedly, and those who were careful would find that the lieutenant colonel's body shook violently.
The people next to them could easily see the headline on the paper, and the editors of the military newspaper of the Central China Dispatch Army were very professional, and the headline of the propaganda paper they produced was eye-catching and sensational.
"The famous general of China will be assassinated! Huang Haoran is in danger! ”
These dozen or so characters occupy at least an eight-page layout, but anyone who knows the characters can clearly read the content on the propaganda paper from afar.
It is said that the commander of the Central China Dispatch Army, Matsui Ishone, was also satisfied with this design.
Before the curious Fang Xiaoqian could escape Dai Mengru's control, the news of Huang Haoran's assassination spread rapidly in the air-raid shelter, and in less than a minute, Dai Mengru also heard the content on the propaganda paper.
The people who ran into the bomb shelter were also relieved at this time, and a man in a padded jacket shouted:
"The Japanese planes didn't drop bombs this time, they have been scattering such propaganda paper, falling from the sky like snowflakes, and now Nanjing City is full of this kind of propaganda paper, a few of us are afraid that the devils will drop bombs after scattering these, so we grabbed a few and ran over, this Huang Haoran Huang Commander has only been in office for a long time, why was he assassinated? I originally said that this time I finally changed to a fighter who could fight, and Nanjing City could be regarded as saved! I didn't expect it to be now...... Ay!! ”
Dai Mengru felt that her body began to sink, she threw away Fang Xiaoqian, and staggered towards the entrance of the cave, Fang Xiaoqian was afraid that Dai Mengru would fall, so she hurriedly followed to protect Dai Mengru.
Everyone wanted to see the lead words on the propaganda paper with their own eyes, so everyone passed these pieces of propaganda paper hand by hand in the air-raid shelter.
When Dai Mengru came to the entrance of the cave, a few pieces of propaganda paper had already been rumored and did not know where to go, Fang Xiaoqian saw that Dai Mengru's spirit was on the verge of collapse, she was so anxious that she jumped to her feet and shouted loudly:
"Give me a copy! Give me a copy! ”
As the news of Huang Haoran's assassination spread to everyone, the entire air-raid shelter was completely chaotic, some sighed, some scolded, and some cried loudly.
Fang Xiaoqian patronized and shouted, relaxing her attention to Dai Mengru for a while, but when she looked back again, Dai Mengru had already rushed out of the bomb shelter!
"You big men! It's all dead! I don't know how to block it! ”
After complaining these words, Fang Xiaoqian gritted her teeth and rushed out of the air-raid shelter with an arrow step.
The Japanese dispatched more than 20 bombers to scatter more than half an hour in the sky today, and many of these propaganda papers fell on any vacant lot in the streets and alleys of Nanjing, and there was a large area of open space not far from the air-raid shelter where Dai Mengru and Fang Xiaoqian were hiding, and even a lot of trees and telephone poles were falling.
The Central China Front has invested a lot of money this time!
When Fang Xiaoqian rushed to Dai Mengru's side, Dai Mengru was already crying silently, and Fang Xiaoqian was also the first time to see Dai Mengru so sad, and she was a little at a loss.
Dai Mengru grabbed the propaganda paper tightly with her hand, choked and asked Fang Xiaoqian:
"Is this true? Is all this true? ”
Unexpectedly, people who love Huang Haoran and those who hate Huang Haoran asked the same question at the first time.
Fang Xiaoqian knew that she couldn't rub salt on Dai Mengru's wound, she pointed to the words on the propaganda paper and said:
"He's not dead yet! See for yourself! The Japanese only said that he was seriously injured, and besides, the words of the little devil were never to be believed....."
"Yes! Can't believe it! You can't believe the devil! The government said that what happened the other day was an air strike! ”
Dai Mengru seemed to grasp a life-saving straw, shaking Fang Xiaoqian vigorously, the Japanese propaganda paper wrote very clearly that the location of Huang Haoran's attack was Sajiawan, and Dai Mengru also went to the press conference held by the government a few days ago about the Sajiawan incident, so her subconscious has realized that the news of Huang Haoran's assassination should be true!
But she still prefers to believe what Fang Xiaoqian said, the Japanese, do they have any credibility at all?
Dai Mengru felt that maybe Huang Haoran was not assassinated at all, let alone injured, all this was Japanese propaganda.
On this day, the city of Nanjing is gloomy and miserable!
*************************************************
Nanjing City Defense Command, Operational Command Room.
Shen Lao Er was the first to rush into Huang Haoran's office, followed by Fan Jie, Wang Huanzhi, Wang Shankui, Wu Jianping and Xie Wendong, and all the high-level leaders of the 99th Army were all there.
Shen Lao Er's voice was the loudest, and he kept greeting all the female immediate family members in Matsui Shigen's family, and Wang Huanzhi couldn't stop him next to him.
In fact, it is very simple to resolve today's situation, as long as Huang Haoran, an intact living person, appears in front of the news interface, the Japanese propaganda war will be instantly defeated and disintegrated, but Fan Jie's proposal was vetoed by Huang Haoran.
finally made the mistake to the Japanese, if it was solved like this, then wouldn't Huang Haoran's previous efforts be in vain?
Until now, Huang Haoran has not appeared in public, and the affairs of the government and the army are handled by Jiang Baili and Wang Huanzhi.
Huang Haoran called Jiang Baili, he felt that the current situation was very suitable for starting his preset plan, Jiang Baili put down the phone and immediately rushed to the presidential palace to ask the highest authority, and the highest authority said after listening to Jiang Baili's explanation:
"Go ahead and do it!"
The Nanjing City Defense Command and the General Staff, which had received instructions from the highest authorities, soon began to operate at a high speed, and in the afternoon of the same day, a state of emergency was declared for the entire city of Nanjing.
Towards evening, officials of the Ministry of Military Affairs organized a press conference, and a gray-haired veteran lieutenant general stood in front of a large group of Chinese and foreign reporters and read out a long speech:
"This incident is a shameless slander of the Japanese aggressors against our government, and it is a despicable means of propaganda warfare, everything that the Japanese army said is nonsense, and our government here makes it clear that there will be no such incident, and General Huang Haoran is safe and sound at present! We would like to express our great indignation and strong protest against what the Japanese military has done! ”
Of course, this kind of official wording is not what the reporters want to hear, and the domestic reporters are better, and the Ministry of Military Affairs has already done their work one by one, but those Western reporters are not easy to fool, and the sharp questions they raised made the old lieutenant general sweat like rain.
In the end, the press conference, which was originally scheduled to last for half an hour, lasted just over 10 minutes and ended hastily.
Although the Nanjing government provided the same material as nothing, the foreign correspondents captured many interesting details from the press conference.
For example, the spokesperson commonly used by the Ministry of Military Affairs did not appear today, for example, the old lieutenant general only got the speech ten minutes before the opening, and the panicked eyes of the officials of the Ministry of Military Affairs standing on the stage, pushing these things together, plus Huang Haoran, the core figure of the incident, still did not show up, and the imagination of Western reporters was greatly released in an instant!
The next morning, one after another added fuel and vinegar to the reports, such as "Chinese officials flickered, Huang Haoran's life and death became a mystery", "The Chinese spokesman made a fool of himself, and he didn't know how to answer on the spot", "Insiders revealed that Huang Haoran died of his injuries" and other headlines could be seen everywhere.
However, the Nanjing government's news agencies uniformly adopted the government's official narrative, and even the headlines and layout of the newspapers were identical, apparently under pressure from the government.
Combined with the above situation, Nanjing citizens have already believed in the Japanese propaganda paper.
Shimonoseki Wharf is lively again, and the ticket to leave Nanjing has once again set a sky-high price!
***********************************************
The departure of Gui Yongqing and Sun Yuanliang also brought a benefit, that is, the 99th Army's operation to collect ships suddenly became much smoother, and Shen Laoer's subordinates often found a large number of ownerless ships on some deserted beaches.
Huang Haoran knew that this was a disguised attempt by the ministries to return the ships they had hidden to the public.
The number of ships controlled by the 99th Division has reached a very high number, and Huang Haoran immediately had a plan to open a route to cross the river, and he wanted to evacuate the citizens in Nanjing as soon as possible to avoid huge losses in the future.
Huang Haoran discussed his plans with Jiang Baili as usual, Jiang Baili did not support Huang Haoran this time, but said that he wanted Huang Haoran to dispel such thoughts as soon as possible.
Jiang Baili told Huang Haoran that although he moved to Gui Yongqing and Sun Yuanliang, he was still not the one who was in charge of the house in Nanjing City, Huang Haoran.
If the supreme authorities do not leave the city of Nanjing, Huang Haoran's evacuation plan will not be implemented for a single day.
The old man is going to use Nanjing City to cast a legend and a good story! If the citizens of Nanjing run away before the war, then what is the value of defending this empty city?
Again for politics! This damn politics!
Of course, Huang Haoran was very reluctant to accept such a fate, he knew that if these citizens could not withdraw from Nanjing City as soon as possible, then in the next battle, the number of dead and wounded would inevitably be an astronomical number!
Huang Haoran really can't pretend to be deaf and dumb!
In the face of Huang Haoran's persistence, Jiang Baili could only think of a compromise solution for Huang Haoran, that is, the 99th Army sold its own ferry tickets and suppressed the fare on the black market, so that more people could leave Nanjing City in batches.
And Huang Haoran's dock has been carrying the goods of the "lady", after those red-eyed generals saw the fate of Gui Yongqing and Sun Yuanliang, they should also think of who Huang Haoran was doing for him, and no one would dare to touch Huang Haoran's tiger buttocks.
Now that the 99th Army has so many ships, it can provide a large capacity......
Huang Haoran thought about it for a while, and felt that Jiang Baili's idea was also a good way, so that he could not only get a mobilization order for the evacuation of citizens from the highest authorities, but also save many lives, and the Nanjing government could completely pretend not to know about these things, and the 99th Army could also get a lot of income, which can be described as a benefit for the government, the people and the 99th Army!
However, for the sake of insurance, Huang Haoran still decided to donate the proceeds from the sale of tickets by the 99th Army, so that others would no longer have a handle to hit him.
Soon, the 99th Division began to play the role of a transportation company, and as for the errand of selling tickets, Huang Haoran thought of a suitable candidate, that is, Zhang Guili.
It is very appropriate to let these "dealers" in the "military command" sell ferry tickets for the 99th Army; as long as Zhang Guili and them intervene, first of all, the police and spies will not come to look for trouble, and these "traders" have a wide range of channels, and the speed at which ferry tickets are sold will definitely be very fast.
Because Huang Haoran set the ship fare extremely cheap, even after Zhang Guili's layer upon layer of price increases, it was nearly eighty percent lower than the current ship fare on the market, and soon these "ticket sellers" in Nanjing City were very busy, and the major wharves in the jurisdiction of the 99th Division also began to overload the operation.
In order to transport more talents out in a targeted manner, Huang Haoran also came up with the names of student tickets and workers' tickets, giving lower discounts to intellectuals and industrial workers who needed ferry tickets, and he also sent some personnel to universities and factories to sell and send them half-away.
As Huang Haoran expected, the supreme authorities chose to turn a blind eye this time, and as long as Huang Haoran's small actions did not affect the international reputation and image of the Nanjing government, the supreme authorities would not speak out.
Jiang Baili has been blowing the wind in front of the highest authorities these days, and Jiang Baili told the highest authorities that Huang Haoran will use all the proceeds obtained by the 99th Army from the ferry tickets to buy treasury bonds, so as to support the government's arms purchases from the Soviet Union.
After the start of the Anti-Japanese War, the financial system of the Nanjing government had reached a very dangerous point, and there were officials and businessmen everywhere who exchanged fiat currency for real money.
Huang Haoran used his practical actions and a large amount of silver dollars to make the highest authorities selectively blind to the behavior of the 99th Army in the face of the huge waves of public opinion, and the personnel throughput of each terminal is setting a new high every day......
Ships loaded with Nanjing citizens and machinery and equipment sailed down the Yangtze River to Wuhan and Chongqing, and the people on board were glad that they had a chance to survive, but they didn't know what Huang Haoran was doing behind the scenes.
Standing on the swallow rock, Huang Haoran looked at the mighty fleet in the Yangtze River, and he wished these Nanjing citizens a safe journey in his heart.
Fan Jie, Wang Huanzhi, Shen Laoer, Wang Shankui, Xie Wendong, and Wu Jianping lined up behind Huang Haoran, Huang Haoran stood in the wind for a long time, and suddenly turned to his team and said:
"Everyone, I, Huang Haoran, am here to accompany you first, I have done too many 'wrong things' in this Nanjing City, and I have offended too many dignitaries, if I don't peel off a layer of skin in this oil pot, I'm afraid I won't have a good life in the future, it's me who has burdened everyone! Now, those who should go are gone! It's up to us next! ”
"Boss! What are you talking about? I can have today's prestige, and I am no longer called a loser by my father, it is all the creation given by you, the boss, brother, I have nothing, even if I die in this Nanjing city tomorrow, it will be returned to the eldest brother! ”
Of course, the one with such a loud voice is Shen Laoer.
"Big brother! If what you do is wrong, there is nothing right in this world! No matter what you do, the little brother will definitely accompany you, even if you get to the bottom, the three of us brothers will not feel lonely when they are still together! ”
The person who was a little choked up was Wang Huanzhi.
"I knew you were a scourge when I was 32 years old! But there's no way, I'm used to eating the big pot of rice of the 99th Army, and if I want to leave, I'm afraid that I'll starve to death if I run out, I really regret that I followed you to do that vote in Songhu! I confessed ....."
The person with infinite pride in his words is Wang Shankui.
"I'm an accomplice to the military throne! Actually, I wanted to slip away, but unfortunately Shangfeng had already tied me to the military seat, and now we are grasshoppers on a rope! No one can run......"
The person who is never serious is Huang Haoran's chief of staff Fan Jie.
"Throne, I promised you that I would atone for my sins! I'll have to kill a few more devils to count! There really is no better place than Nanjing! ”
The voice was a little low was Xie Wendong.
"His grandmother's! Lao Tzu is a newcomer, so you should be bullied by Lao Tzu? When our Dian army left Guizhou, they drank blood wine, if you are gone, but I leave this Nanjing city alive, I am afraid that someone will dig up the ancestral grave, I didn't say it! Lao Tzu followed the military seat, you did it! ”
The last person to speak was Wu Jianping.
Huang Haoran's eyes were moist, he looked at these lovely subordinates, he didn't know what to say, he could only say vigorously: "Thank you!" Thank you! Thank you for ......."
The wind rises, the mountains and rivers move!
In the winter of 1937, the men in military uniforms in Nanjing City were all the backbone of the nation!
