Chapter XXXIV

Not many people know the true inside story of Jewish Zionism, and not many people understand the differences between the Zionists and the assimilators, so Yang Rui only speculated about the Jewish question, and did not fully believe what he saw in later generations, such as knocking on a plot of 18 billion dollars. This made the training of Jewish officers an unrequited effort, and Weizmann could not even afford to pay for the training of the officers, and in the end it was up to Rogaring and Kaufmann to share the cost.

After leaving Anton, Weizmann and Einstein went directly to Palestine, the Jewish agency in the settlement outside Jerusalem, where Weizmann quickly summoned the members of Ishuf's executive committee to announce the good news that the trip to the Far East had brought back, in addition to Yang Rui's goodwill, and the news that China had agreed to help train Jewish officers. At the end of the lively meeting, when a few people were left behind, Weizmann looked at the excited faces and said, "Gentlemen, I have bad news to say now. ”

"His Excellency the Great and Merciful Duke told me that in the event of a war in Asia, then the Nazis in Europe, who had lost their suppression, would also take the opportunity to wage war. And the Jews, especially those in the concentration camps, would be tortured to death by the Nazis. Weizmann said this astonishing but complex logical news, and his expression was complicated. I have full confidence in the judgment of His Excellency the Duke, and Albert and I have been thinking about how we can save our fellow citizens from disaster. Can war be avoided? Is it possible to immigrate here before compatriots are imprisoned in concentration camps by the Nazis? But none of this is certain......"

"It is impossible to avoid war, at least in Asia." Nahum Sokolov, Weizmann's replacement in the four years he was ousted from power during the economic crisis, said. He is considered the most accomplished Zionist diplomat, and he is credited with the Balfour Declaration of Britain during the European War. "If there is a war in Asia......" Sokolov blinked. Finally, he nodded: "I completely agree with this judgment, the Germans are very worried that China and Japan will send troops to France." Especially very afraid of China. But if China and Japan go to war with the United States, they will have no worries. ”

"Is war inevitable?" Albert Einstein, a man who knew little about politics, said. "Can't our five million fellow citizens in the United States find a way to stop the U.S. government from waging war? I have lived in China for many years, they are not barbarians, much less militants, and His Excellency the Duke expects peace more than anyone else......"

"The Arab ......, there are indeed a lot of Jews in the United States, and their influence is really great, but why do we run deficits year after year, and why do we have fewer immigrants every year than planned?" Weizmann's deputy, David Ben Gurion. "They don't care about us. They care about their wealth and power in the United States. ”

If he did not take over the deputy, Weizmann said: "Gentlemen, I am going to go to the United States as soon as possible." I hope Nahum and David will go with me. If there is no hope for the United States, then we will have to go to the United Kingdom and ask for an annual increase in immigration quotas. If all else is not working, perhaps China's Shanghai and Harbin would be a good place to stay, but given the inevitable war in Asia, Harbin is the best option. ”

"Haim, those Germans won't care if we live or die." Another of Weizmann's political opponents, Menachem Usischkingau. "Have you forgotten how they messed up the last time Arat toured? If those things you say really happen. I think the most important thing is to rescue millions of compatriots, preferably by emigrating here, but if there is no way, you can only go to China. We are willing to pay any price for this. ”

Einstein was confident in solving the existing problems, but Usischkin mentioned his lecture tour, which he thought he would make fifteen thousand dollars in the United States, because of the interference of some people. The money he got was very small, and it was not as good as the special prize given to him every year by the Ji University Hall - his face was bitter. The Germans really didn't care much about the lives of their Russians (Russians or Eastern European Jews).

"Haim, I want to know what the Duke of China wants?" Usishhkin finished talking about Einstein. When he began to ask Weizmann, he still couldn't understand why a Far Eastern country was so kind to him.

"He didn't say what he needed." Weizmann replied, "He never mentioned it. I and I believe that as a country that is about to face a war, he should hope that we can provide some help to it, such as persuading the US government to abandon its war intentions, or to buy Chinese bonds during the war, or to help China develop new weapons. I think that's all he needs and nothing else. ”

"Except for the last point, we can't do anything else." Ussy Shikin Road. "The Jews are very rich, but these rich Jews are also stingy."

"I and Arhat are also thinking about the last point, which is that Arabat will go to Europe, and now Chinese universities are planning to recruit Jewish professors who have been discriminated against by Germany, and I will go to the United States with Nahum and David." Weizmann said.

"You're going to be disappointed." Usishkin, who was born in Mogilev and studied engineering in Moscow, is as stubborn as ever. Although he doesn't have the sleek side of a leader, he has always spoken with foresight - the Germans don't care if the Russians live or die. In fact, World War II Allied bombers could bomb all of Europe, but never bombed the railroad to Auschwitz, or urged the U.S. government to accept Jews who had escaped Europe during the war.

After the war, the blame for all this was placed on the U.S. government, but Roosevelt, who wanted neither left nor right, appointed Jews the most in the government, but they turned a blind eye to it, because it was the Russians who died. Emmanuel Thaler, director of the White House Judiciary Committee, was indifferent to this; Saul Bloom, director of the White House Foreign Affairs Committee, was indifferent; Samuel Dickstein, chairman of the White House Immigration Planning Committee, was indifferent; Adolf Sabbas, the White House Legislative Affairs Council, was indifferent to this; Roosevelt's neighbor, Treasury Secretary Henry Morgenthau, was indifferent; Roosevelt's friend Supreme Justice Felix Frankfort was indifferent; Bernard Baruch, the director of the First World War Arms Administration and Roosevelt's think tank, was indifferent......

In the United States, there are many powerful Jews, but most of them feel that Zionism is incompatible with themselves. Eastern European Jews have no connection with themselves, even when Weizmann confronts the leaders of the American Zionist organization. His suggestion was also rejected.

"Haim, you should stay away from the Chinese." More than a month later. Washington, D.C., Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, Louis Brandeis kindly reminded.

"Sir, but ......," Weizmann said, holding a New York Times portrait of a Chinese on the front page, "but China's new premier, Weng, wants to negotiate with the United States again on the naval issue, and he is willing to persuade the Chinese Inspectorate to dissolve the alliance with Japan and then sign a Pacific Naval Treaty......"

"The weather was nice today. Haim. You should enjoy some of it. Justice Brandeis looked at the weather. It was spring in Washington, D.C., and the garden of his apartment was full of flowers.

"Sir, I don't have the heart to enjoy this." Weizmann said bitterly. "When I think of my compatriots who died in concentration camps, I want to grab a bomb and die with those Nazis."

Weizmann, a Ph.D., a chemist, sighed when he heard him speak such crazy language, and he said, "Then find a way to get them out of Europe before the war." I will raise money from my fellow Americans for this. So that you have enough money to do the heavy lifting. It would be better for them to go to South American countries or even Africa, because Asia is not safe. ”

"Is war really inevitable?" Weizmann heard him say that Asia was not safe, so he asked. "Chinese have agreed to the previous request of the United States......"

"Haim, politics is always complicated. China and Japan are now indeed planning to abandon their alliance and sign a naval treaty with the United States, but they remain a threat. What if they form an alliance again after the expiration of the next naval treaty? Brandeis asked rhetorically. Although the Chinese do not intend to enter into an arms race with us. But that doesn't mean he can't in the future. She is growing at a breakneck pace, and now the world is flooded with Chinese clothing, appliances, plastics, cars, and motorcycles.

Harley-Davidson has sued Chinese companies for dumping motorcycles in the United States. The U.S. distributor of Chinese motorcycles sued Davidson for secretly plotting to burn down several of its stores. Most people believe that under the rule of a **** tyrant. The fact that Chinese are robbing countless jobs that would otherwise belong to Americans with the most meagre wages and poor working conditions must change. ”

"In other words, war cannot be avoided?!" Weizmann wanted to say that he didn't see **** and tyrants in China at all, it was a prosperous country, but when he set foot on the land of the United States and saw the newspapers full of **** threatening arguments, he had to choose to keep silent.

"I didn't say that, Haim." Brandeis said with a smile. "But war is the consensus of some people, so I want you to stay away from the Chinese, it is dangerous there." I will urge my compatriots to raise money again as soon as possible, but now that the economy is very bad, I will do my best to raise more money for the immigration cause. ”

"I ......," Weizmann wanted to say, but Nahum Sokolov said, "sir, if we don't go to the East, millions of Jews will be homeless." Even if Britain agreed to unrestricted immigration – which of course is impossible, and now the Arabs hate us very much – they will not be able to accept so many immigrants. We can only go to the East, and then gradually move our compatriots to Palestine later. ”

"If there's a war, you won't be able to go." Brandeis said.

"We plan to go to China via Russia, or to China via Romania and from the Eurasian Grand Canal." Nahum Sokolov said. They had already thought of a way to emigrate to China during the war, that is, through Soviet Russia or the Black Sea, so that even if there was a war in the Pacific, it would not affect the migration.

"The Chinese agree with your immigration?" Brandeis wanted to send off a guest, but the incident piqued his interest, and he himself was ultimately Jewish.

"I think so." Weizmann replied. "Sir, I have traveled to the northeastern part of the Far East for more than a month to meet His Excellency Duke Yang Jingcheng. He immediately agreed to accept a group of Jewish officers to be trained by senior officers of the Chinese army and offered internships. Sir, the whole northeast is the domain of His Excellency the Duke, where as long as he can nod his head, no amount of Jews will accept it. ”

"So what price do we have to pay?" Brandeis asked intriguingly.

"His Excellency the Duke has not made any requests." Weizmann replied, "Although we think he wants us to stop the war." ”

"It's impossible!" Brandeis shook his head again, "You're too late. He asked, "If there is a war in the Pacific, will he agree to accept the Jews?" ”

"I don't know." Weizmann shook his head. "Is war really inevitable, sir?" He asked the question for the third time.

"So to speak." Brandeis finally admitted.

"But ......," Weizmann said, pulling out the newspaper, "China's new premier is about to visit the United States, and he is coming for peace." ”

"It was too late." Brandeis Road. "It is impossible for China to agree to the final terms of peace." Seeing that Weizmann was still puzzled, he could only cite two cases that were being heard, "You know, Haim. A Davidson motorcycle costs at least $2,000, while a Chinese motorcycle with the same horsepower costs only $99, and its customs import price is less than $40, and although a 40 percent tariff is imposed, it still costs only $67.8 when the shipping cost to the dealer is included.

Is the Chinese losing money at such a price? No! According to the information provided by the Chinese company in court, even with such a low price and a two-year warranty, they still have a profit of 15%! Brandeis repeated these figures that shocked him so far, and he was extremely emotional, "From the figures provided by both sides, it is true that the Chinese do not dump, nor do they compete with us entirely on low labor costs, but the more this is the case, the more she can replace the United States as the world's factory in the coming decades, which is intolerable for any American, unless this status quo can be changed." ”

Seeing that his compatriots had great hopes for the Chinese, Brandeis had to tell some truths, but as a supporter of Roosevelt on the Supreme Court, he still had a lot to say. The United States has not yet recovered from the economic crisis, and the situation has now gotten worse after four years of the New Deal. With huge government deficits and trade blackmails and even deficits, the country will eventually become another Spain in the long run, with the Democrats, trade unions, and socialists demanding a 'wealth-sharing' program similar to Huey Pierce Lang's, while the Republicans, business owners, and propertied people are likely to turn to the Nazis in order to protect their property, and engage in large-scale conflicts and even wars with the former.

Under these circumstances, many people think that it is better to go to war with China and Japan. This would not only consolidate America's naval power in the Pacific, but also destroy the East Asian Alliance, a potential contender that neither the Democrats nor the Republicans like. As for the isolationists who shouted the slogan 'America First,' they have disappeared without a trace since the beginning of this year.

The Weizmanns left Brandeis's house disappointed, and over the next ten days they visited well-informed and supportive of the restoration of the country, and the results remained the same. Utterly disappointed, Weizmann did not heed Brandeis's advice to stay in the United States longer, and felt that he had to go to England immediately to convince the British government to save the war, and on the day he boarded the ship in New York Harbor, a barrage of cannon salutes rang out in the docklands - China's new premier, Weng Wenhao, arrived in New York for a week-long state visit to the United States to ease tensions in the Pacific.

The Chinese warship flying the yellow dragon flag slowly entered the harbor under the guidance of the US Navy and the New York Harbor pilot ship, and Weizmann, who was standing on the side of the cruise ship, suddenly noticed a strange thing, and he smiled dumbly: "Why should the Chinese premier have eyes painted on the warship?" ”

"It's a pagan form of witchcraft." David Gurion on the side blurted out that the entertainment industry in the United States was extremely developed during the economic crisis, and during this time in the United States, he took time to watch several movies, including a sharp scandalization of Chinese and Japanese, and painting eyes on the bow of the ship was regarded as an act of summoning the devil.
