Tsinghua University, Peking University, Yenching University... Chen Qiang has successively delivered advanced deeds reports at several universities in Peking.

In the evening, Chen Qiang returned to the hotel where he was staying, rubbed his numb right hand, but he felt a little proud.

In the advanced deeds report meeting these days, Chen Qiang sold many autobiography. He didn't even know how many of them were. Anyway, the signature and sales of books made his right hand numb, and it was difficult to pick up food with chopsticks now.

Fortunately, Beijing's itinerary has ended, so he will go south to Jinan first, then to the Yangtze River Delta region, and then to Xiamen and Guangzhou if there is enough time, to conduct advanced deeds reports and sell books along the way.

The routine of giving speeches and selling books on campus is so effective that it is somewhat beyond Chen Qiang's expectations. Almost everyone in the university where Chen Qiang went, regardless of teachers and students, had a copy of his autobiography.

But it is normal to think about it carefully. This path of selling books by speeches is hard to guard against even in later generations. It is normal for people in the 1930s to be fooled and lame. What's more, Chen Qiang's image in the eyes of college students is indeed very positive and positive. It is not only an inspirational role model, but also a model for winning glory for the country. It is worth paying for college students to buy books.

The train heading south had to pass through Tianjin, so Chen Qiang also took the train back to Tianjin first.

There are a lot of people on the train, and many of them are family members, carrying all kinds of soft and soft things, as if they are escaping.

After arriving in Tianjin, Chen Qiang discovered that the entire Tianjin city was shrouded in a tense atmosphere.

A large number of Chinese people poured into the concession in Tianjin, filling the concession. The Japanese concession in Tianjin once again became martial law. Heavy machine guns were set up at the intersections of major traffic jams, and Japanese troops also appeared on the commanding heights.

After a little inquiry, Chen Qiang found out that at Gubeikou, several of Zhang Shaoshang's divisions and a Japanese division had already been in trouble.

Then the news of the Xifeng War came, which intensified the tense atmosphere. You should know that Xifengkou is a pass on the Great Wall in East Hebei. The peaks stand outside the mouth, and it is almost natural. This is the barrier of North China and the throat of Hebei. If Xifengkou is occupied by Japanese dramas, then the entire North China Plain will be exposed under the barrel of the Japanese army, and the city of Peking is the first to be affected.

Therefore, the entire Beijing-Tianjin area was panicked, and many people from Peking brought their families to Tianjin. At this time, the concessions in Tianjin were probably the safest in the north of the Yellow River.

When Chen Qiang left Tianjin, he heard that Young Marshal Zhang had pushed the Northeast Army's 200,000 main army to the front line of the Great Wall, but the battle situation was still very unoptimistic.

When Chen Qiang arrived in Nanjing, he found that Nanjing was still full of singing and dancing. Nanjing's official media newspapers did not pay attention to the warriors who defended the country on the Great Wall, but were reporting on the big boss's "Annei" in Nanchang's commander, and it was all about reporting good news but not bad news, as if it was a great deal.

However, the actual situation is that Rehe and Jidong are about to be lost. Nanjing will not increase its troops or distribute funds. It is clear that it will allow the elite of the Northeast Army and fight to the death with the Japanese, and want to borrow the Japanese to consume the strength of the Northeast Army, or simply let the Japanese eliminate the Northeast Army.

The Nanjing boss seemed to have not realized that this was a national war, and he didn't care at all. The soldiers he wanted to "expend" and the heroes who died on the edge of the Great Wall were all Chinese soldiers!

In order to achieve the goal of eliminating dissidents, they will use the enemy's hands to eliminate their compatriots and will also lose a large area of ​​land. This is not the first time the senior executives of Nanjing have done it, nor will they do it for the last time.

...

In Nanjing, after Chen Qiang finished his advanced deeds report meeting at Nanjing Central University, Hao Gengsheng, president of the Sports Association, came to visit him.

The Ministry of Education of the Republic of China established the position of sports supervisor at the end of 1932, which was in charge of national sports administrative affairs. Hao Gengsheng was the first sports supervisor in the Republic of China, so Hao Gengsheng's workplace was also in Nanjing at this time.

After the two exchanged greetings, Hao Gengsheng said straight to the point: "Chen Qiang, the Ministry of Education wants to ask you to give a report."

"I'm afraid to go to the officials," Chen Qiang said with a smile.

"There are not many officials, but they are mainly ordinary employees. Those who are officials just show their faces to support their faces." Hao Gengsheng answered.

"How many people are listening?" Chen Qiang continued.

"It should be quite a lot. There are many people in the Ministry of Education alone, and some people from the Nanjing Education Bureau are probably hundreds of people." Hao Gengsheng paused, lowered his voice, and then said: "You must be mentally prepared and may have to stay in Nanjing today."

"Why? Another senior executive wants to see me?" Chen Qiang asked subconsciously.

"This is not accurate." Hao Gengsheng thought for a few seconds, and then continued: "I have heard the news that other government agencies are also planning to ask you to give a report, such as the Ministry of Interior, Ministry of Transport, Ministry of Industry, Central Bank, etc. Your schedule may be very tense in the future."

"I didn't expect that I was so popular!" Chen Qiang said with a smile.

"This is also what I want to remind you. When making a report, pay attention to what should be said and what should not be said. If you don't say what should be said, it doesn't matter. But if you say what should not be said, it will be troublesome." Hao Gengsheng said.

Chen Qiang was stunned. He found that Hao Gengsheng's expression was a little serious, so he spoke, "President Hao, please make clear."

"Then I'll just say it. When you come from Tianjin, you should know that the situation on the Great Wall is not optimistic. Now Nanjing has sent someone to negotiate with Japan. I guess Rehe will definitely be thrown away. It would be great if it can protect Jidong. I don't know what kind of treaty that will be depreciated and humiliated in the country will be signed this time!"

Hao Gengsheng sighed with a loss and then said, "In addition, the situation in Jiangxi is not objective. The boss of the National Government personally took charge of Nanchang to command, but he was destroyed by two divisions and even the commander was arrested. It would be fine if you say that the north could not defeat the Japanese, but the south could not defeat the south... Alas!"

Chen Qiang nodded to express his understanding. As the number one figure in the Republic of China, he personally took charge of the front to command the battle, but ended up being defeated. This is indeed quite embarrassing. I wonder if he had scolded him a few words of "My Lam".

Hao Gengsheng continued: "It is precisely because the frontline was defeated that the senior executives in Nanjing need to whitewash the peace. At this moment, you came to your door."

Chen Qiang instantly realized that coming to Nanjing at this checkpoint became a tool for Nanjing to shift its focus and whitewash the peace.

Foreign wars lost, civil wars also lost. If such a thing is widely publicized, it will definitely be a huge blow to Nanjing's prestige.

For the senior officials in Nanjing, losing the foreign war is second to the worst. At worst, they will lose power and humiliate the country, cede land and pay compensation, and they are still in high positions and power. But if the civil war loses, it will be really fatal. At that time, these senior officials will be driven out of the throne of power.

It is also for this reason that newspapers often report more realistically about the situation in the Northeast, while the situation in Jiangxi has always been good news but bad news, because Nanjing has to maintain its authority.

However, many knowledgeable people have already understood that Jiangxi has been fighting for so many years and has launched four "encirclement and suppression". If Nanjing is really victorious as the newspaper says, why fight until now, why keep increasing troops? Why should the boss run towards Nanchang while he is idle?

The Nanjing government hopes to divert the public's attention and embellish a peaceful and prosperous era. So a little achievement will be boasted as a huge victory, such as the tariff autonomy of that year, and the retraction of the Belgian concession in Tianjin.

However, since the "September 18th", news of failure has been heard one after another, and Nanjing has just wanted to swear.

At the beginning of 1933, the Great Wall defeated the War of Resistance Against Japan, and Jiangxi also suffered consecutive losses. At this time, Chen Qiang came to the door, which was a timely rain for Nanjing!

There is nothing to be played with politics, economy, and military. Then we can only play with sports and Chen Qiang!

So all government departments "started with me" and began to invite Chen Qiang to conduct advanced deeds reports, and the contents in Nanjing newspapers were also news that Chen Qiang gave advanced deeds reports to various agencies.

...

During the report meeting of the Ministry of Transportation, Minister Zhu of the Ministry of Transportation attended in person.

Chen Qiang smiled and handed a delicate wooden box to Minister Zhu, and said, "Minister Zhu, this is my autobiography, a gift I gave you."

Chen Qiang said as he opened the wooden box, revealing the cover of the autobiography, and then Chen Qiang gently opened the cover, which read a few big words such as "Give to Minister Zhu, I wish you good health and happiness for the whole family! Chen Qiang."

Minister Zhu was slightly stunned, and then took the wooden box with both hands. He never thought that Chen Qiang, a young man who was less than 20 years old, had an autobiography!

"What kind of world is this? I am all forty years old and I don't have an autobiography yet! He, a young man under twenty, even wrote an autobiography!" Minister Zhu secretly complained in his heart.

In this situation, Chen Qiang gave a book, and Minister Zhu had to continue even if he didn't want it. Moreover, Minister Zhu had to thank him repeatedly and said against his will: "I will definitely read it carefully."

Then the next signature book sales process will naturally be much simpler.

The ministers of your Ministry of Transport have said that you should "read carefully" after you go back, so do you guys from the Ministry of Transportation want to read?

That's for sure. The books that leaders are reading. If the subordinates don't read, how can they correctly understand the leader's instructions? How can they keep pace with the leader?

Even if the leader does not plan to read books and just takes them home to collect them, should you guys keep a unified step with the leader? Should you buy one and collect it?

In this case, the important thing is whether to buy or not, rather than whether to buy it back or not. If you buy it, it may not be considered a leader's horse, but at least it shows an attitude. As for whether to buy it or not, it doesn't matter.

These people who eat public food still know a lot about the rules of survival in the officialdom. When encountering such a thing, even if you are an illiterate person who can't read a word, you have to buy a copy.

This is a bit like a donation activity organized by an organization. If you pay for the donation, no one will remember you, but if you don’t pay a penny, your colleagues or leaders will definitely remember you. Of course, this will not be a positive impression.

After all, places like government agencies are different from private enterprises. The survival rules of government agencies are not unique, but go with the flow. The person who performs the most special and unique is often the person who is most easily excluded.

So, the civil servants of the Ministry of Transport began to queue up to buy books. After several people bought the books, they did not forget to hold them on their chests and wandered around in front of Minister Zhu, hoping to tell Minister Zhu directly: "Leader, look, am I a qualified licking dog?"

...

Selling books during lectures is a very practical routine, and with Chen Qiang's deliberate fox and tiger power, the effect will be even better.

Every time, Chen Qiang would give books to senior officials who came to listen to the report. Of course, they had to accept them with a smile and compliment a few words. Then it would be much easier to sell books next. No one could escape if everyone came to listen to the report.

Moreover, for civil servants in Nanjing, spending a few cents to buy a book is not a big deal. Although their salary may not be very high, they can embezzle and accept bribes!

Nanjing hopes to use Chen Qiang to embellish the peace, and Chen Qiang did not suffer any losses. He took the opportunity to sell his autobiography and make a big profit from it.

After staying in Nanjing for a long time, Chen Qiang went to Shanghai again.

St. John and other church schools have donated funds to Chen Qiang before, so Chen Qiang of course wants to go, and these church universities also welcome Chen Qiang's arrival.

The church universities in Shanghai are all run by Americans. At that time, these church universities also donated a lot of money to Chen Qiang for participation. Now that Chen Qiang has returned with victory, these church universities feel like they will receive returns after investment.

Especially those American teachers felt a different sense of accomplishment. When they returned to the United States, they would be able to sponsor Chen Qiang to participate in the Los Angeles Olympics for a lifetime.

In addition to church universities, such as Fudan University, Tongji University, etc., are also places that Chen Qiang must go to.

At this time, Fudan University and Tongji University had both returned to their original campus locations.

The campus of Fudan University was located in Jiangwan, and it became a Japanese military camp during the "January 28th" period. After the signing of the "Songhu Armistice Agreement", the Japanese retreated and Fudan University returned to Jiangwan to continue classes. The school of Tongji University was severely damaged during the "January 28th period" period, but it was quickly repaired. At the end of August 1932, Tongji University moved back to the Wusong Campus.

The atmosphere of Fudan University and Tongji University is different from that of the church university. In church universities, those Americans regard Chen Qiang as a great athlete, while in Fudan University and Tongji University, Chen Qiang is regarded as a national hero.

Fudan University and Tongji University are all patriotic teachers and students. Their love and praise for Chen Qiang is more full of love for the country and the nation. Therefore, when Chen Qiang was making reports on advanced deeds, the teachers and students even applauded. Later, Chen Qiang signed and sold books, and the enthusiasm of teachers and students to purchase was particularly high.

In this way, Chen Qiang went on one city after another, ran a university, held a national tour of advanced deeds report meeting, and sold a large number of autobiography.

If there was a writer's income ranking in 1933, Chen Qiang would probably be able to top it.

...

At the end of May, Nanjing and Japan finally agreed. The signing of a Tanggu Agreement made the land 100 kilometers south of the Great Wall a "non-armed area" that could not be garrisoned. The Chinese team retreated directly to Changping and Tongzhou to deploy defense, which was equivalent to opening the entire North China region. If the Japanese were willing, they could reach the city of Peiping at any time.

This agreement that was so powerful that the country was humiliated made the Nanjing boss relieved. He finally relieved his worries and could fight the civil war with peace of mind.

The Japanese no longer cause trouble, and the domestic situation is becoming increasingly peaceful. In July, the 17th North China Games was held in Qingdao.

In 1932, the 16th North China Games was held in Kaifeng, Henan. Chen Qiang was in the United States at that time, so he was not able to participate. It was also at this North China Games that Mayor Chen of Qingdao invited the next North China Games to be held in Qingdao. Originally, Qingdao had a competitor, Taiyuan, Shanxi, but it was too far away to encounter a big flood, so the North China Games fell in Qingdao.

In order to prepare for this North China Games, Qingdao spent 200,000 yuan to build a stadium. At that time, Song Junfu and Liu Changchun returned from the United States. Song Junfu brought the design drawings of the Los Angeles Stadium, so Qingdao Stadium was designed based on the Los Angeles Stadium.

After three months, Qingdao Stadium was finally completed, which can accommodate 15,000 spectators. There are 148 locker rooms under the stands, and there is also a special boiler room that can burn hot water to provide bathing for mobilization. At that time, Qingdao Stadium was the most advanced stadium of that era.

As expected, Chen Qiang was summoned to the Shandong team by Chairman Han of Shandong and became the "thigh" of the Shandong team.

...

The closer you are to Qingdao, the fewer people will be on the train, because Qingdao is the end of this train.

People who have taken the bus have this experience. The closer they are to the finish line, the fewer passengers will be. For example, when you take the subway or bus, the guests may be gone when you reach the terminal.
