Chapter 139: Propaganda War
Texas Recovered! Binzhou Recovery!! Jinan Liberation !! The national army is ready to fight and the great counteroffensive that is ready to launch has begun!!!
"The headquarters of the 58th Division of the 74th Army fought hard for three days, and many officers under the division commander Zhang Lingpu personally led the team to attack the Japanese invaders, and after three days of hard fighting, Texas was finally recovered!" A newspaper covered with grease stains was swept by the wind on the lively street, and finally fell into a puddle of sewage on the corner of the street, and the black body and bold lead words that had been soaked in the sewage were unusually eye-catching, and the upward side was the report of Zhang Lingpu's rash troops attacking the city of Texas.
"Fellow citizens, do you hear the rumbling of cannons? That's our Chinese soldiers fighting the Japanese invaders, can you hear the shouts of killing? I can hear, I can hear the roar of the heroic soldiers when they cut down the Japanese army, this is the roar of the Chinese, and it is also the indomitable cry of our Chinese nation" A woman dressed as a student was waving her arms in anger and shouting loudly, and several young people dressed as students were also handing out leaflets of the War of Resistance to passers-by.
"Our 74th Army has started a major counteroffensive in Shandong, and Dezhou, Binzhou, and Jinan have been recovered, compatriots, please show your enthusiasm and cheer for our heroes." The woman standing on the steps to speak was obviously a sensational master, and just a few words caused the onlookers to let out an earth-shattering cheer. The victory of the national army in Shandong is the best news that the people of Chongqing have heard since the recovery of Taiyuan, since the national army has been able to fight a large-scale battle with the Japanese army in Shandong, does that mean that Henan has also fallen under the control of the national army?
"Compatriots, our soldiers are fighting to the death against the Japanese invaders on the front line, for the continuation of our Chinese nation and the bloody battle of the Japanese invaders, as the descendants of Yan and Huang, should we also do something to support the war of resistance?" The woman's words silenced the crowd. Since the Anti-Japanese War, the Nationalist Government has organized many private fundraising, and everyone's life is not having a good time now, and they are always engaged in fundraising, and I am afraid that before the Japanese call, many families in the Kuomintang area will be ruined because they have no money to eat.
"Old man, we don't want everyone to raise donations, thank you for your kindness and support for the war." The young man handing out leaflets at the bottom of the stairs smiled and rejected a banknote taken out by an old man, and then jumped up the steps and shouted, "Compatriots, our support for the war is not just a way to raise donations, the front line needs clothing, medicine, ammunition supplies, and volunteers with medical experience to help care for the wounded." ”
"Aren't you going to donate something? Isn't donating money the same as donating money? You can just use the money we donate to buy things, why bother? "There was a constant stream of opinions in the crowd, and seeing the people around them nodding their heads frequently, it was clear that many people had the same idea.
"We don't advocate people donating money and materials, but our workers and masters in the factories can volunteer to work overtime to produce more and better products, and the uncles who farm can grow more food to support the war effort. Those of us who don't yet have the skills to make a living can volunteer to help repair buildings damaged by the war, repair roads and bridges leading to the front line, help soldiers trained in the barracks get haircuts and sew clothes, in short, everyone can do their part to support the war effort. "It's a good idea, we don't have the money and we don't have much ability, but we have the strength, we can help the army transport ammunition." A few of the stickers in the crowd patted their thin chests and shouted, "Don't look at our thin body, we can pick up more than 100 pounds of things and walk dozens of miles." ”
"We young people should do something practical, we are not good at building roads and bridges, but we can go to the army and fight the Japanese invaders face to face, that is called real ability, magnanimity." A young man in a school uniform shouted from the crowd. "The young army with the inscription written by the chairman is besieging Shijiazhuang at the moment, my generation should have sat in the school to learn knowledge, but unfortunately the Japanese invaders did not give us this opportunity, since this is the case, it is better for us to join the army, go into battle to kill the enemy, and learn from the general Xun Chen who threw the pen from Rong to repay the country with blue blood"
The empty voice of the young man wafted over the street, and the people of Chongqing knew that the general Xun Chen he had just mentioned was General Zhang Zizhong, who had died in the war in 40 years, and when Zhang Zizhong's coffin was sent back to Chongqing, more than 100,000 people cried and worshipped when they passed through Yichang along the way, and Chairman Chiang Kai-shek cried even more at the Chaotianmen Wharf. "Go together" and "go together, learn from General Xinchen and go to fight for a general to come back and glorify the ancestors" There are more and more young people who rush out of the crowd, and there is a recruiting point not far from the street, and several veterans of the national army who are responsible for recruiting soldiers are instantly surrounded by the young people who flock to them.
"Boyuan, it's really yours, this is what you said about propaganda warfare, it turns out that it can be like this." In a black sedan not far from the street, Dai Li, who never likes shape, looked at the lively recruiting point with a telescope with a happy face. Zhao Zhi, who was punched by Dai Li, had to smoke with a bitter face, the war in Shandong had begun, but the national army had already controlled the initiative and advantage, and Zhao Zhi, who had nothing to do, was summoned to Chongqing by a telegram from Chiang Kai-shek, because the delegation of the Chinese Communist Party came to Chongqing.
The lack of troops in the Nationalist Government has been like this since 38, the bigwigs of the Ministry of Military Affairs have carved up the elite, the chairman Chiang Kai-shek has a pitiful number of elites, and the 74th Army and the Youth Army have made a name for themselves in Shandong, but the lack of reserve troops is a matter that puzzles Chiang Kai-shek. Zhao Zhi, who hurried to Chongqing, just in time for the new round of propaganda planned by the national government, came up with an idea for Chiang Kai-shek, and selected young people with eloquence from the military command to go to the streets to give speeches to stir up the enthusiasm of the people and encourage those young people to join the army.
Facing Dai Li, who was full of curiosity, Zhao Zhi touched his nose a little embarrassed and said slowly, "We can also organize some condolence groups to perform in the barracks, and visit those military families or the families of fallen soldiers, in short, to make them feel that joining the army and joining the army is a major event that can glorify their ancestors." In fact, Zhao Zhi also knew that what he said just now was really difficult to do, so many pensions for fallen soldiers is a big problem, the national government has long been unable to make ends meet, coupled with the exploitation of those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, it is already very good to have a pension for the families of fallen soldiers.
"I will report this matter to the chairman, the eldest prince confiscated the property of many corrupt officials some time ago, and it can be used to operate this matter, but Boyuan, don't have too much hope, it is really a monk who makes little porridge, and the chairman is also very embarrassed." Dai Li's face showed a trace of embarrassment, China's current situation has always been like this, rich people are very rich, and those without money can't even mix food and clothing, although it is now the season of war, but it is still the same in the Kuomintang area, there are many things, even Chiang Kai-shek, the chairman of the Nationalist Government, is not easy to say.
"Hehe, I know, I'm just an offer." Zhao Zhi stared at the cigar and kept his mouth shut about what happened just now. Thunder has always done a good job on the issue of pensions, and before Zhao Zhi's purge plan was implemented to the last step, even the families of those Burmese soldiers who died in the war had pensions. If you count Thunder's spoils sharing plan, the annual income of Thunder's ordinary mercenaries is already equivalent to that of the generals and colonels in the national army, and those who serve as mercenary commanders are even more wealthy, as for Yan Wudao and Yu Dazhi, they are even more wealthy.
As the boss of Thunder and the actual controller of Myanmar, Zhao Zhi has no idea how much money he has, Rowling's staff team secretly calculated an account for Zhao Zhi, if the war can end in 45 years, and Zhao Zhi's cooperative relationship with Europe is not interrupted, then Zhao Zhi will be one of the richest people in the whole world, maybe the Rockman family is not as good as Zhao Zhi. The Rockman family is just an American family involved in the military industry and ocean-going ships, Zhao Zhi is different, in a sense, Zhao Zhi is not a warlord on one side, he is simply a vassal king who splits the soil and seals the king, or a vassal king who no one cares about.
Myanmar, Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia have all belonged to Zhao Zhi, and once these small countries are merged, both the land area and resources have increased significantly, not to mention that after the merger, Zhao Zhi has a longer coastline, and the resources in the ocean are a cornucopia. "Have you ever thought of being a king?" When Rowling and Zhao Zhi had a private chat in their spare time, Rowling asked the same question more than once, but Zhao Zhi never gave a clear answer.
Zhao Zhi has also asked himself more than once what kind of life he wants, when he first came to this era, Zhao Zhi, who was lonely, just wanted to fill his stomach and have a place to stay. But as he got acquainted with Hunter, to the formation of Thunder and the emergence of Rowling, Zhao Zhi seemed to have deviated from his original ideal of being a rich man, and unconsciously, Thunder had developed to the point where it is now, so big that it can influence the situation of the domestic war, and so big that it can establish itself as a king in South Asia.
"It seems that it is not bad to be a king, at least my children are born princes and princesses." In his previous life, Zhao Zhi, who lived between life and death all day long, did not want to be dragged down by his family, so he was always single. But now that he has come to this era, he has friends and beloved women, and he has to be responsible for these people he values, and he has to fight for them to have a bright future.
"Let's go, let's go back, Boyuan, you just got off the plane and I pulled you to see the excitement, I think I'm tired, I'll send you back to rest, and the chairman of the committee prepared a dinner party in the evening, and asked you to participate by name." Seeing that Zhao Zhi's expression was a little dazed, Dai Li, who was sitting next to him, hurriedly urged the driver to turn around and send Zhao Zhi back to rest.
