Chapter 396: The Rat Crossing the Street
On this day, the New York Times used a photo of the beheaded man as the cover of their front page! People saw the bloody photo and read the words and various confessions of Harlett Abang above.
Anger couldn't help but feel in his heart! As the Great Depression gathered all kinds of worries, people of all kinds of disappointments finally found a vent! Countless people walked out of their homes and came to Japanese consulates everywhere to hold them.
Crazy protests with simple banners!
At this time, an emergency news was broadcasted in the radios everywhere! New York Governor Franklin Delano Roosevelt will issue a notice on behalf of the US Congress!
People from all over the world were silent, and they walked to the radio and waited quietly for the speech of the governor who had brought them work, food and salary in the radio.
At 10:05, a tweeter was set up in front of the Japanese consulate, which was thrown everywhere with rotten eggs and tomatoes. There, a thick baritone was slowly heard.
"When I saw this news in the New York Times, I couldn't believe my eyes! I couldn't accept that there was such a group of people in this world! They ignored human lives and massacred them at will! They took advantage of the opportunity of war
, and even massacred tens of thousands of people!!"
This baritone gradually calmed down the noisy crowd. Everyone was waiting, waiting for the voice to speak again.
"When we founded our country, the famous declaration said: "Our view is that the following truth is not proven by itself: All men are born equal, and they are gifted by the Creator, and possess all rights that cannot be transferred,
Including the right to life, freedom, and the right to pursue happiness'! We firmly believe in these and established the United States of America!"
For a moment! All Americans who heard the baritone words couldn't help but feel proud and proud! This is the United States in their minds, and this is their ideal country!
"But, after this report, our faith was trampled on! As the report said, they are just for the sake of civilization, but they have savage monsters! They deprived them of the most basic right to survive as humans!
And, it's so cruel! Cold-blooded!!"
The anger of the crowd was quietly ignited, and anger gradually spreads among the crowd!
"People in the United States. We love peace! We love life, but these things we love and those we firmly believe in are humiliated! Therefore, we are angry!"
"Wow~~" The crowd was in a panic, but before they could continue to protest the baritone, they continued to say in a deep voice.
"We hope that those wicked men will be judged by their due! Those sinners bear their past mistakes! For justice! For justice, and for the unproveable truth that we believe in, "Everyone is born equal"! We decide!
Support Manchuria to judge those who were once so cruel and vicious! Justice America will be for the sake of justice and our faith! Stand firmly on the side of justice! God is with America! Justice is with America!
Amen!”
"Amen..." The crowd gathered in the Japanese consulate gradually dissipated after the Amen. This American declaration also spread all over the world with newspapers and radio waves!
The British Parliament, which was originally arguing, immediately announced: to maintain regional peace and support justice! After the decision of the parliament, the British government supported Manchuria's actions! And condemned the act of massacre of civilians in the war!
With Britain and the United States' statements, France, Italy, Germany and other countries also continued to express their views. Although the Soviet Union did not have a clear attitude to support the trial of Manchuria, it still announced that they also believed that massacre of civilians in the war was an act that violated humanitarianism!
For a time, Japan became a rat crossing the street and everyone shouted to beat him! Although the Japanese did crisis public relations, it seemed that they had no effect.
This incident also caused great response to Japanese society. Japan's "Free News" published an article saying that the "Lushun incident has turned into a thunder and hit the top of our heads." The US ambassador to Japan urgently asked for a meeting with Inuyaki Hiro, saying: "If
At this time, the Japanese government does not take certain aftermath measures. Then the reputation that Japan has gained so far will be completely destroyed."
Subsequently, the British ambassador to Japan also met with Youkai and talked about the Lushunkou massacre, "although what he said was similar to the American ambassador, his tone was cold and terrifying."
Inuyasu did not dare to neglect, so he held an emergency cabinet meeting. The meeting said: "If such facts cannot be denied in the end, there should be certain considerations for the aftermath. In Manchuria, be cautious! The negotiations should be completed as soon as possible. Otherwise, the situation will be for me.
unfavorable!"
After discussion, the current Japanese Foreign Minister Kenyoshi Yoshizawa personally went to the United States to issue a statement, saying that the general idea was that all those killed at that time were fleeing Qing troops who took off their military uniforms. The massacre was a revenge on the Japanese prisoners who were killed in the previous battle of Tuchengzi.
The behavior was that 355 Qing soldiers captured in Lushun were treated very well in Japan.
At the same time, Japan bought some media such as the fastest text update of the Central Committee //Shumilou - no ads //News Agency, etc., in an attempt to attack the New York Times, which was the first to report on the incident!
Later, the defense letter was sent to the ministers of various countries to Japan, informing them: "The facts that occurred during the occupation of Lushunkou were destroyed by misinformation. And it often made foreigners feel unhappy.
I was very unfavorable. For this reason, a defense document on the above misinformation was drafted."
Unfortunately, these actions seem to be of little effect. First of all, all media are under pressure from all walks of life and secretly, and no one wants these media to talk nonsense, from enterprises to countries. Therefore, in the face of this situation, those newspapers can only remain silent.
.
No one wants to be the target of public criticism! Therefore, everyone rejected Japan's bribery. And the countries are even more frivolous about this!
At this time, many newspapers in China, including Ta Kung Pao, Shen Bao, etc., all reprinted the news from the New York Times! The world was in an uproar, and countless students went to the streets again! They ran around and called out, hoping that the country would come forward to take the victims of Lushun that year.
Return to justice!
Nanjing State Government, Chiang Zhongzheng held an emergency meeting. At the meeting, Chiang Zhongzheng pinched his forehead and smiled bitterly and said to everyone: "That tiger is already famous enough now! What else can he mess with?! He did this,
Where is our government?
After hearing what Chiang Zhongzheng said, everyone didn't say anything. In fact, everyone knew that the tiger entrenched in Manchuria had never taken the Nanjing Mansion in his eyes! From the early Jinan to the later Yi Yi and even to the September 18th!
He has never seen the government in his eyes?! He doesn't even pee at all, so why bother with your thoughts?! Moreover, now you look at the British and American people! He doesn't mention the government of Nanjing at all, just say it directly
"Support Manchuria" justice!
What does this mean?! This means that people support the tiger in Manchuria! It has nothing to do with your Nanjing National Mansion. Nanjing National Mansion! Take a shower and go to bed!
Of course, no one would tell Jiang Zhongzheng about this. Unless you want to find bad luck, after all, Jiang Zhongzheng is still the leader of the Nanjing State Government. He still has talents of all kinds under his command, so his influence is still very great!
"Sir, I think we should not act rashly at this time!" The one who spoke at this time was Yang Yongtai, the chief think tank around Jiang Zhongzheng! This Yang Yongtai is not a simple person!
Yang Yongtai, the chief military advisor who was certified by Chiang Zhongzhong, has almost no one mentioned it now. But at that time, he was not only a celebrity, but also a person!
He was quick-witted and vigorous in writing. He not only helped Chiang Kai-shek eradicate various "princes" including Feng Yuxiang to Li Zongren, but also forced the Red to the Final Long March. It was all done by this man! It can be said that he made great contributions to the Nanjing State Government!
In early 1928, through the recommendation of Huang Hui and Xiong Shihui of the Department of Political Science, Yang Yongtai met Jiang Zhongzheng. Yang received strict old-style education since childhood, studied in Japan, and received systematic Western-style education, so he was good at literature and long-term.
Martial arts; understand legislation and be good at administration." In addition, he has been observing the "big affairs in the world", so he published a grand strategy when he first met with Chiang Kai-shek: He said: Today, the Seventh Army of Guangxi is rampant in both lakes, and Li Jishen is defeated
In Guangdong and Guangxi, Bai Chongxi recruited three armies of Tang Shengzhi's remnants, dominating one side and having one of the three parts of the world. If he colluded with Feng and Yan, Nanjing would not be able to gain a foothold.
Chiang Zhongzheng deeply agreed with this and hurriedly asked if there was a solution?!
Yang Yongtai immediately laughed and said: Fortunately, the political enemy of the Guangxi clan Yu Zuobai could destroy Li Zongren's platform, and Tang Shengzhi could also take back his old subordinates to force Bai Chongxi to resign, and then use a lot of money to buy Feng Yuxiang's generals Han Fuju and Shi Yousan, and then Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi's power.
It will not be difficult to disintegrate.
Yang Yongtai summarized his "reducing vassals" strategy as: dismantling Feng Yuxiang's second army through economic methods, solving Yan Xishan's third army through political methods, solving Li Zongren's fourth army through military methods, and dealing with Zhang Xueliang's northeast with diplomatic methods.
military.
The most troublesome warlord problem of Chiang Zhongzheng was revealed by Yang Yongtai in several words. Chiang Zhongzheng immediately became clear-headed, and respected Yang Yongtai, and appointed Yang as a senator of the Military Committee of the National Government. Since then, he jumped into Chiang from a politician living in the wild.
At the "side of the bed" of the commander-in-chief, Yang Yongtai became the "chief think tank" of Chiang Zhongzheng.
The subsequent execution also confirmed what Yang Yongtai said! Therefore, Chiang Zhongzheng attaches more importance to Yang Yongtai, and even reached the important military, political, and literary and telecommunications of all governments at one time. Yang Yongtai must first review it before submitting Chiang Zhongzheng; many even many
When military and political experts come to see Chiang Zhongzheng, they must be arranged by Yang Yongtai! This shows that Chiang Zhongzheng has strong trust in Yang Yongtai!
"We should note that the British and American telegrams mentioned 'Manchuria' but did not mention 'Nanjing'! That is to say, once we move, the British and American may not be on our side..."
Chapter completed!
