Chapter 452: 451 [Chat]

Peking, the living room of my wife's house.

Ding Wenjiang held up the "Independent Review", clapped his hands and praised: "Mr. Zhou's words are good! The Japanese invaders can occupy our territory, but they cannot enslave our spirit. As long as the heart is Chinese, then the Northeast will always be Chinese." Northeast!"

Jiang Tingfu, dean of the Department of History at Tsinghua University, sighed and said: "Although the words are good, they cannot change the fact that the Northeast has fallen."

Ding Wenjiang said: "No matter what, Mr. Zhou's article is very insightful in explaining Japan's political system, and it also explains why the Japanese cabinet compromised with the Ministry of War."

While the two were talking, Jin Yuelin also walked into the living room. He came alone this time. He had broken up with his American girlfriend who had lived together for many years, and he was in love with Lin Huiyin who was married.

"Old Jin, come quickly!" Jiang Tingfu waved.

Jin Yuelin asked with a smile: "Are you all chatting?"

Ding Wenjiang said, "I'm chatting about Mr. Zhou's article."

Lin Huiyin came over with coffee and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhou is also coming today, and he will probably be here soon."

"Really?" Ding Wenjiang excitedly said, "I have admired him for a long time, and I have always wanted to see him with my own eyes."

"Who wants to see me?" Zhou Hexuan's voice suddenly came from the door.

Liang Sicheng clapped his hands and laughed, "Haha, say Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here!"

Zhou Hexuan strode to the living room, cupped his fists and said, "Hi, gentlemen, I'm a bit late."

"It's not too late, some people haven't arrived yet," Lin Huiyin asked, "Does Mingcheng want tea or coffee?"

"Tea." Zhou Hexuan sat down and said.

Not long after, Hu Shi, Xu Zhimo and Fu Sinian came together, and everyone greeted them warmly.

Historically, Xu Zhimo should have died in an air crash at this time, on his way to Beijing to listen to Lin Huiyin's lecture.

Zhou Hexuan saved Xu Zhimo's life. He was in Jinzhou at the time and could not attend the Pacific Academic Conference held in Shanghai. So he sent a telegram to Xu Zhimo, hoping that Xu Zhimo would speak at the meeting instead of him.

On one side is Lin Huiyin's lecture, and on the other side is Zhou Hexuan's request to attend the meeting. Xu Zhimo thought about it, and finally put his old lover aside, and ran to Shanghai to attend the meeting instead of Zhou Hexuan.

As a result, the news of the plane crash in the north soon came, and Xu Zhimo was so scared that he peed, and then he was so scared that he wanted to take that plane.

But sometimes, Xu Zhimo wished he could die on that plane, the reality made him suffer too much.

Xu Zhimo is also a professor at two universities, and his monthly salary is about 600 yuan, but it is not enough for Lu Xiaoman's extravagance. He didn't even have the money to rent a house in Beiping, so he stayed at Hu Shi's house all the time, running around all day to make money, and many of his former friends gradually became estranged.

In order to make money, Xu Zhimo even took the initiative to act as a real estate agent, selling Shanghai houses for Jiang Baili, just to earn some errand money to fill the debt hole - the plane ticket for the plane crash was given by a friend, and Xu Zhimo had no money to fly.

A romantic and passionate poet is forced to become a real estate agency every day, which shows the importance of marrying a reliable wife.

More than two months ago, Bing Xin met Xu Zhimo at Yanda University. When she asked about some things in the past, Xu Zhimo wrote on the spot: "What about the past, the phosphorescence of skeletons."

Seeing Xu Zhimo's haggard look, Zhou Hexuan also wondered if he had saved the wrong person. Perhaps Xu Zhimo's death in the air crash was also a good ending.

"Haha, everyone is here, where is Yinong (Zhang Xiruo)?" Xu Zhimo laughed heartily, hiding all his troubles in his heart.

Lin Huiyin explained: "Yinong has something to do today, so I may not be able to come."

Zhang Xiruo, Xu Zhimo and Jin Yuelin have known each other since they were in the United States. They have been old friends for many years, and Xu has a wide range of friendships.

"Come on, come on, come as soon as the work is done!" Zhang Xiruo walked into the living room quickly.

Zhang Xiruo is a political scientist, nicknamed "Mr. Angle", and he has been straightforward in speaking and doing things all his life. He bought arms for the Revolution of 1911, denounced Chiang Kai-shek for his dictatorship face to face, led the way for the People's Liberation Army, protected the ancient buildings in the capital, and gave the new China the name of the country (the People's Republic of China). This gentleman is also a witness of the times By.

Zhang Xiruo's ideas are very appetizing to Zhou Hexuan. For example, in the article "Comprehensive (Harmonious) Westernization and China's Standard", Zhang Xiruo advocates selective acceptance of Western cultural values.

Now that the country is in crisis, the living room of my wife's house is not in the mood for romance, but discusses issues of Sino-Japanese relations and the War of Resistance.

Hu Shi first said: "I finally understand that the central government and the local government have no time to fight against Japan. The September 18th Incident still has to be resolved through diplomatic means."

Zhang Xiruo didn't want to give Hu Shi face, and retorted in public: "How to solve it by diplomacy? Weak countries have no diplomacy. The so-called diplomatic means are just begging for mercy. The most urgent task now is to stop the civil war and unite to resist Japan."

From the dialogue between the two, we can see their personalities, Hu Shi is soft and Zhang Xiruo is very hard. He refused to accept it and did it. In the future, he will not only hate Lao Jiang, but also scold Taizu.

So on the eve of the July 7th Incident, Hu Shi and Zhang Xiruo made two completely different reactions to the Japanese invaders.

Hu Shi deeply felt China's external powerlessness and feared that North China would become a second Northeast, so he advocated exchanging Rehe Province for peace in North China. He believed that China's war of resistance was hopeless. As for Zhang Xiruo, he clamored for the war of resistance, and named Song Zheyuan (the head of the North China authorities) by name, which caused the "Independent Review" to suspend publication for several months.

Of course, Hu Shi is just weak in character, and his patriotism cannot be doubted. Later, the Battle of Songhu shattered the ambition of the Japanese invaders to occupy China for three months, which immediately gave Hu Shi hope for the War of Resistance, and he became an active anti-Japanese faction from then on.

At this moment, Hu Shi and Zhang Xiruo were arguing endlessly. One insisted that diplomatic means should be used to resolve the Northeast issue, while the other insisted that the only way out was to fight and fight.

Lin Huiyin suddenly asked Zhou Hexuan: "What is Mr. Zhou's opinion?"

Zhou Hexuan said with a wry smile: "My point of view is not important, what matters is what the Nanjing government and local warlords think. The Northeast will definitely not be recovered in the short term, and it will take time for Japan to digest the Northeast. Given the chaotic situation in the country, now All that can be done is to actively seek help from the foreign powers.”

"How can the big powers have good intentions?" Zhang Xiruo said angrily.

Zhou Hexuan explained: "The first is to restore diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union. The Japanese occupation of Northeast China not only invaded Chinese territory, but also encroached on the Soviet Union's Middle East Road, and brought great military pressure to the Soviet Far East."

Hu Shi's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "Yes, we should resume diplomacy with the Soviet Union. This is a very good way!"

Zhang Xiruo shook his head and sighed: "Because of the Soviet Union's political system, it has always been feared by European and American powers. The Nanjing government is also pro-American. I am afraid that we will not be able to negotiate with the Soviet Union. At most, it is a symbolic restoration of diplomatic relations."

"Of course alliances are impossible, but restoring diplomatic relations must be done. No matter how the world structure changes in the future, China will have room to maneuver." Zhou Hexuan said.

Zhang Xiruo nodded and said: "That's right, you must have a long-term plan."

Zhou Hexuan sighed and said, "If I want to tell you, I actually hope that Japan will invade China in an all-round way as soon as possible. If there is no crisis, the Chinese people will not be able to unite. Once Japan invades China in an all-round way, with its national strength, it will not be able to support such a huge war. China wins sooner or later."

"Are you crazy? Still looking forward to Japan's full-scale invasion of China as soon as possible!" Hu Shi stared at Zhou Hexuan dumbfounded.

Others also looked sideways, only Zhang Xiruo remained silent, as if thinking about the possibility of this issue.
