News of Chen Qiang raising funds from major universities in Peking soon spread in the city of Peking. When Japanese intelligence agencies in Peking learned of the news, they immediately reported it to the Consulate General in Tianjin. The Japanese Consulate General in Tianjin, and then passed the matter back to Japan.

Japan Sports Association.

"President, news comes from the Tianjin Consulate General that Chen Qiang is raising funds!" Kenjiro Nakano reported to the Tianjin love story Chiaki Kishi.

However, An Qingyi frowned and asked, "How is the fundraising situation?"

"It is said that the effect is very good. Teachers and students from major universities in Peking donated money enthusiastically, and the scene was quite enthusiastic!" Kenjiro Nakano answered.

Kishi Kishi's expression became more and more serious. He asked, "Kun Nakano, how much does a boat ticket cost from China to the United States? Do you know?"

"I don't know this, but I know that the price of first-class cabin from Japan to the United States should be around 1,000 US dollars when taking a more luxurious cruise ship." Kenjiro Nakano answered.

"If you count this way, the second-class cabin should be about 500 US dollars, and the third-class cabin is about 200 US dollars." An Qingyi calculated it in his heart, and then said: "This is not an astronomical figure. Chen Qiang is very likely to raise enough travel expenses through fundraising and then go to the United States to participate in the Olympics!"

"You are right, there is indeed such a possibility." Kenjiro Nakano answered.

"We have to find a way to stop him! We must never let him participate in the Olympics. If he achieves good results in the Olympics, it will not only boost the morale of the Chinese people, but also make China more international recognition. If the international community agrees with China, it will be difficult for us to succeed in seeking Manchuria to participate in the Olympics program! Moreover, similar international activities in the future will be excluded, which is not in the interests of the empire! We must create public opinion in the international community. Manchuria is an independent existence, not a part of China!" An Qingyi said decisively.

Kenjiro Nakano was silent for a moment and said, "President, we have no way to stop the Chinese from donating money to Chen Qiang. Moreover, the cruise ships to the United States are all operated by American companies, so we cannot stop him from going to the United States."

"We have no choice, but Lieutenant General of the Island may have a solution!" Kishiki said without hesitation: "You can contact Lieutenant General of the Island immediately and say that I have important matters and I need to report to Lieutenant General of the Island!"

...

In the afternoon of the same day, An Qingyi met Lieutenant General of the Island.

"President An Qing, according to your statement, Chen Qiang is very likely to achieve good results in the Los Angeles Olympics?" Lieutenant General Oshima asked.

"Yes, he is the holder of the Asian record for 100 meters. His best 100 meters is 10 seconds 5, which is only 0.1 second away from the world record. And this is the record he set more than a year ago. He was only sixteen years old at the time. Now he is eighteen years old and should be stronger than a year ago. If he won the 100-meter sprint gold medal in the Los Angeles Olympics, I wouldn't be surprised." Kishi Qingyi said.

Lieutenant General Oshima nodded: "I have an impression of this athlete. I have to admit that as an Asian athlete, he has excellent results. Such talents should play for my Great Japanese Empire!"

"I firmly believe that there will be a day when we completely occupy China, Chen Qiang will play for us, but now, I think he should be prevented from participating in the Los Angeles Olympics as much as possible." An Qingyi said.

"I understand what you mean. Once Chinese athletes gain international recognition, it will be very difficult for Manchuria to participate in international sports affairs as an independent country!" Lieutenant General Oshima paused and asked again: "You said before that Chen Qiang is raising money to go to the United States?"

"Yes, according to the information sent back from Tianjin, the Chinese are very enthusiastic and donated very enthusiastically. According to this attitude, it may not take long before Chen Qiang can collect enough travel expenses to and from the United States." An Qingyi answered.

Lieutenant General Oshima was silent for more than ten seconds, and then said, "President Anqing, leave this matter to me. I will find a way to stop Chen Qiang from going to the United States to participate."

"That's great. I knew Lieutenant General of the Island would definitely have a solution!" Kishi Qingyi bowed to Lieutenant General of the Island.

Lieutenant General of Dadao lowered his voice and said, "President Anqing, you and I have known each other for many years, and there is no need to hide some things from you. When our army invaded Manchuria last year, many scholars in Manchuria and merchants fled to Peking, and some of our intelligence personnel were mixed with them. In addition, our intelligence department also made some scholars in Nanjing, China. Now it is time for them to play some role!"

...

In Peking, Chen Qiang ended his fundraising activities in Peking. Next he was going to Nanjing, then to Shanghai and Hangzhou. There are many universities in these three places. If there is enough time, Chen Qiang plans to go to Guangzhou to see if there is any chance to raise some donations from Hong Kong.

When he got on the train, Chen Qiang was a little bored, so he took out the newspaper he had bought from his bag and read it carefully.

An article published by a scholar who fled from the Northeast to Peking immediately attracted Chen Qiang's attention.

"The Japanese invaded our northeast, and since the Qing and Japanese war, they broke through the barriers of the northeast. After the Russo-Japanese War, they then strangled the life and death of the northeast. Over the past decades of economic aggression and political persecution, their power has been deeply rooted, and the mountains and rivers have become invisible. Today's change is that the Japanese take advantage of our great disaster, have no time to look outside, gloat and carry out military aggression. This is to betray the justice and fight without declaration; to invade the territory of neighboring countries for no reason, it is to deliberately disrupt peace; to take advantage of others' danger to be unrighteous, to disrupt peace as a militant, to violate international public law..."

"At this point, we dare to tell the people of the country with blood and tears: This atrocities by the Japanese are actually the juncture of life and death in our country. The mountains and rivers in the northeast have now fallen under the ravage of Japanese cavalry. The people of the country are careful not to forget the dangers of their own situation. What the Japanese fight against is my Northeast! What the people are ravaged is my Northeast! The iron hooves are everywhere, and the mountains and rivers are changing color. On the day the mainland policy is realized, that is, when our country and our nation are destroyed, Taiwan and North Korea are in the forefront!"

"I heard that our country's strong generals want to participate in the Western Olympics and raise funds in Peking, and they have made a lot of money. I am deeply saddened to get this bad news! In such a time of national crisis, instead of wasting their energy, money, participation in Olympic activities, and going to the international stage to sell ugly things, it is better to use this energy, money and strive for the prosperity of the Chinese nation."

"The hearts of the Japanese people are obvious. In the face of national crisis, the survival is bound by the people of blood and energy. The people with blood are working together to help themselves. We believe that the athletes in our country should donate all the money they have obtained, which can be used for disaster relief and for military support."

"The survival of the country and the death of the nation is at a critical moment. At this time, everyone must have the determination to sacrifice. The external troubles are in the present, and internal struggles should be eliminated, and we must go to the national crisis together. We must never fry the bean pods and trap the country and the nation in a desperate situation. The people of China should take saving the nation as their duty, and do not spend energy and money on the Western Olympics, nor do they need to generously donate to activities in the Western!"

Although it was a long article, Chen Qiang understood it.

The previous one is about how shameless the Japanese invaders occupied the Northeast, and that it was an act that violated international law. In short, it was a swearing in the invaders, arousing people's anger.

Then he said that some Chinese were going to participate in the Olympics and raised a lot of money. This was simply bad news. I felt so heartbroken when I heard this. Now it is the time for the national crisis. How can I waste money to participate in the Olympics? And when I went to the Olympics, I was not embarrassed in front of foreigners.

Then, under the banner of "in the face of national crisis, we seek self-rescue", Chen Qiang was asked to donate all the funds raised from the competition, either to the disaster area or to the army.

Finally, based on the reason of "the survival of the country and the nation", the masses were asked not to donate money to Chen Qiang, because Chen Qiang participated in the Olympics. If you, an athlete, go to the Olympics, but you cannot save the nation and survive, and you cannot strengthen the country and the army, why donate money to you!

After reading this article, Chen Qiang felt extremely angry. He didn't know where such a scholar came out, engaging in moral kidnapping under the banner of saving the country. Chen Qiang really wanted to ask, how much money did this person who advocated that Chen Qiang donate all his money to the disaster area and the army?

In Chen Qiang's opinion, this person is simply a keyboard warrior from the Republic of China period!

Not to mention that he has no contribution to the country, Chen Qiang plans to win glory for the country at the Olympics, these people are still trying to pull the blame!

"Fortunately, the fundraising event in Peking has ended. If he posted such an article before I went to Peking, it might really bewitching many people. Maybe I wouldn't receive so many donations." Chen Qiang said in his heart.

Chen Qiang calmed down and read this article calmly again. The more he read it, the more he felt something was wrong.

Chen Qiang couldn't help but search carefully for the information I remembered in his mind.

The opposition to participating in the Olympics during the Republic of China should have been after the 1936 Berlin Olympics. At that Olympics, the domestic expectations for Chinese athletes were still high, but they came back with a "duck egg" and further confirmed the title of "Sick Man in East Asia". The failure of that Olympics made the Chinese people deeply sarcastic, so many newspapers were sarcastic and sarcastic.

In the end, the incident became the Chinese people’s doubts about the whole incident of participating in the Olympics. Coupled with the counterattack of “local sports”, a wave of opposition to participating in the Olympics emerged. The “Olympic useless theory” is popular, and many people believe that sending athletes to participate in the Olympics is a waste of money. People can’t achieve any results even if they go. Instead, they are abused in various ways, and are embarrassed in front of foreigners.

However, this trend of opposing the Olympics did not last long, because the situation at that time became increasingly serious, and the Japanese invaders pressed step by step, and people soon stopped caring about the Olympics. After the July 7 Incident, there was only one voice left in the country: Anti-Japanese!

"It's 1932 now, why did someone suddenly object to the Olympics? Is this a coincidence? Or is it the butterfly effect caused by my fundraising in Peking? Or is it the person who wrote this article to attract attention?"

Chen Qiang shook his head for some unknown reason. This article came too suddenly, which made him feel at a loss.

The next day, the train that Chen Qiang took left the Beijing-Tianjin area, and Chen Qiang could not buy newspapers in the Beijing-Tianjin area, so Chen Qiang didn't know that more articles similar to those against the Olympics appeared in newspapers in the Beijing-Tianjin area.

These articles are all under the banner of patriotism and oppose athletes participating in the Olympics. Every article requires that Chen Qiang should donate all the funds raised for the competition, and every article also calls on not to donate money to Chen Qiang again!

...

The train Chen Qiang took arrived in Jiangbei, and he had to transfer to Nanjing by ferry.

At the ferry, Chen Qiang bought another newspaper and read it carefully.

There are still a lot of news about disaster relief in this newspaper. After all, Nanjing is located along the Yangtze River, and flooding incidents are far more concerned than in the north.

Although the flood occurred last year, the scope of this flood was too large and lasted for a long time. For example, Wuhan had been soaking in the water for more than two months. In a big city like Wuhan, such as Wuhan, the disaster situation in small places was even worse.

In some small cities, except for relatively solid buildings, all other houses collapsed, and the people lost their houses and were displaced.

What's more serious is that the flood flooded a lot of seedlings, which caused a crisis of food supply. People in many places were not drowned by the flood, but had nothing to eat and starved to death.

The government’s disaster relief was not good. Simply put, it was because it did not invest money in the disaster relief, so the disaster relief had become a long-term project. The flood that occurred in the summer of 1931 was almost the summer of 1932. It is said that all kinds of post-disaster reconstruction projects should be started, but the newspapers are still talking about disaster relief plans!

When Chen Qiang saw this news, he couldn't help but remember that some countries in the future would need to build a project and discuss it for a few years. After the discussion, he found that the results of the previous discussion were outdated, and then a new round of discussion was held.

"When these people discuss what method to use to relieve the disaster, all the victims will be dead!" Chen Qiang sighed with disappointment.

He turned the newspaper to the next page and saw another article written by a Nanjing scholar.

The general meaning of this article is that the entire Jiangnan has suffered floods, so all the people should unite to overcome difficulties. Don’t do anything like participating in the Olympics, such as money-squandering. Sending athletes to the distant United States to participate in competitions has no practical significance.

Even if you win the championship, you cannot let the victims fill your stomach. Therefore, all the funds used for sports should be donated to those affected victims. Don’t go to the Olympics, and wait until the country overcomes the difficulties.

Another voice against the Olympics, but this person’s starting point is different. He is not on the position of the fall of the Northeast, but on the position of floods in the south of the Yangtze River.

Looking at the turbulent river surface, Chen Qiang suddenly felt that this fundraising trip in Nanjing did not seem so easy.

...

After arriving in Nanjing, Chen Qiang saw several articles that boycotted the Olympics and Western sports. This time, the person who wrote the article did not mention the Northeast, nor did he mention the flood, but said it from the perspective of promoting national martial arts.

An article directly called for "Chinese people to get rid of 'foreign sports' from now on and advocate 'local sports'! Chinese people are kind to be Chinese, please seek China's unique sports from the rich heritage of Chinese culture!"

Another article reads like this: "In the future, national skills should be the core of sports, and imported ones are absolutely not desirable! Traditional Chinese sports contain rich health preservation techniques. In all the cultures of the world, there is no such thing as the richness of Chinese culture. I dare to assert that China will definitely be the world's number one in terms of the art of curing diseases and prolonging life!"

Obviously, "local sports" also took advantage of the opportunity of Chinese athletes participating in the Olympics to start attacking "foreign sports"!

The media reports also had a great impact on Chen Qiang's fundraising journey. Chen Qiang made a hard speech at Central National University, and the donations he raised were only a few dozen yuan. This was much lower than Chen Qiang's expectations.

Subsequently, Chen Qiang raised funds at several other universities in Nanjing, and it was also very difficult. Some students even directly suggested to Chen Qiang that he should give up participating in the Olympics and donate all the donations he raised.

After the trip to Nanjing ended, Chen Qiang received a total of more than 300 yuan in donations, which is similar to the donations from the same school as Tsinghua University.

People are easily influenced by public opinion, this was the case in the 1930s and the 21st century. In the future, the anal squirting incidents will also cost 80 cents to treat intestinal obstruction. With the guidance of public opinion, everyone scolds the hospital indiscriminately, and feels that they are on the side of justice. As for the truth, it is no longer important.

It is also for this reason that Chen Qiang suffered a Waterloo during his fundraising trip in Nanjing.

According to Chen Qiang's original plan, the remaining 3,000 yuan of oceans, Nanjing, Shanghai, and Hangzhou, will be almost done if you gather together. But now it seems that this plan is still too ideal.

Nanjing only raised 300 oceans, and Chen Qiang felt that he was at a loss. After all, the travel expenses from Peking to Nanjing were quite expensive.

However, Chen Qiang still puts his hopes on Shanghai. He has lived in Shanghai for a long time. When he won the Far East Sports Championship, Shanghai media also focused on reporting. Moreover, Shanghai is the most prosperous city in the Far East, with many universities and rich people there. Chen Qiang feels that he can raise more than 1,000 yuan in competition funds in Shanghai.

After arriving in Shanghai, Chen Qiang realized that he was wrong.

Now Shanghai is almost ruins except for the concession!

The campus of Fudan University is in Jiangwan. During the 128th anniversary of the Jiangwan area, the Jiangwan area became the Japanese military camp, so Fudan had to move away and run to Fudan Affiliated Middle School in Xujiahui to attend classes.

Tongji University is in the Wusong area, where it was bombed by the Japanese army at 128 and the school was destroyed.

Jiaotong University and the school building were also in Jiangwan and were bombed at 128.

Chen Qiang was the Labor University where he practiced running before, but only the monument at the door and a bell tower were left.

Seeing this ruin, Chen Qiang felt a sense of powerlessness.

The school is gone, where else will he go to raise funds?

"Can you only count on those church schools?" Chen Qiang said in his heart.

In addition to national universities and private universities, there are many church schools in Shanghai, such as the famous St. John's University, Zhendan University, Hujiang University, etc. These church schools have foreign backgrounds and are all located in the concession, so they were not damaged during the "January 28th".

These church schools are also Chen Qiang's last hope for raising funds in Shanghai.
Chapter completed!
