Chapter 467 [Mr. Zhou's Speech]

The Luoyang National Crisis Conference was held for six consecutive days, and the number of people participating in the conference was decreasing every day, and in the end there were even less than a hundred people.

During the whole meeting, Chang Kaishen didn't show much. Only Wang Zhaoming danced the most fiercely, playing and singing by himself from beginning to end, making things difficult for democrats, and he seemed to enjoy this scene very much.

The democrats could not seek approval at the meeting, so they turned to the sidelines one after another, using newspapers and magazines to criticize the dictatorship of the National Party.

Of course, the National Party did not show weakness. Zhang Daofan, a member of the Central Committee, said in a speech in Nanjing: "There were originally more than 400 members in national distress, but there were only more than 100 members. The members in the middle are complex, red, yellow, dark green, and everything... advocates canceling Party rulers were originally politicians with party backgrounds, and even lackeys of emperors and warlords. They destroyed the rule of the people in the past, and now they have no right to talk about politics.”

Zhang Jiluan didn't even notify Zhou Hexuan, so he published an editorial in "Ta Kung Pao", responding sharply to Zhang Daofan's framing.

Tianjin's "Yishi Bao" was even more powerful. It directly named Wang Zhaoming as a "political liar" and said that his performance in the opposition and the court were completely different. After Zheng, he took everything he said as fart.

The situation at this time is that ordinary people, opposition politicians, celebrities, big capitalists, newspapers, cultural scholars... all call for the abolition of political training and the implementation of democratic constitutionalism.

Not to mention whether democratic constitutionalism is feasible, anyway, everyone has had enough of autocratic dictatorship, and there is a taste of "the world has suffered for a long time".

The main reason is that the Guomindang is so bad that it has offended all walks of life and all aspects of society. Even the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Consortium that supported Chang Kaishen at the beginning now wish the central government could fall as soon as possible.

On the last day of the National Crisis Conference, Wang Zhaoming issued an impassioned declaration, enumerating the crimes of Japan's invasion of Northeast China and Shanghai, saying that the long-term war of resistance would not survive without concentrating the nation's financial resources.

When discussing specific military issues, Chang Kaishen's people took the opportunity to put forward a proposal to gather local military power in the name of "anti-Japanese war."

In the end, the topic returned to the anti-Japanese war. Some advocated resolute resistance, some advocated a diplomatic solution, and some said that two-handed preparations should be made.

"Mr. Zhou, you've been in meetings for several days, why didn't you say a word?" Ma Yinchu asked suddenly.

Everyone looked at Zhou Hexuan, Zhou Hexuan said with a smile: "There is nothing to say, everyone should go home as soon as possible, wash up and sleep."

Lin Sen, the Maitreya Buddha, said unhappily: "This is a meeting of national disasters. Everyone is discussing the strategy of saving the country. How can there be nothing to say? Talk about it, and you can talk about it too."

Only then did Zhou Hexuan begin to express his views: "Japan has not yet had time to digest the Northeast. The Japanese cabinet and the military have serious conflicts. At the same time, the foreign powers are also putting pressure on the Japanese government. Under the predicament of these three aspects, Japan is unable to fully invade China. Yes. The Japanese army’s attack on Shanghai was just to divert international and domestic attention. Within a month or two, Japan will definitely agree to the Lieutenant’s suspension and withdraw from the Songhu area on its own. Therefore, this battle cannot be fought for the time being. Think about it How to negotiate and negotiate a peace."

Wang Zhaoming was pleasantly surprised: "Is Japan really going to withdraw its troops?"

"It will definitely be withdrawn, so when negotiating, we can be tougher and should sternly reject the unreasonable demands of the Japanese side." Zhou Hexuan suggested.

Chang Kaishen only attended the meeting on the opening and closing days, so he said at this time: "Mr. Zhou is really sure?"

Zhou Hexuan said sarcastically: "I am sure that Japan will withdraw its troops. At the same time, I am firmly opposed to peace talks with Japan. The Songhu War must be fought. The harder the fight, the greater the pressure on Japan and the big powers. Of course, the central government's I can't interfere with the resolution, and I know that you dare not fight."

Chang Kaishen had a thick skin, he didn't even show embarrassment when he heard this, and asked, "Does Mr. Zhou have any other suggestions?"

Zhou Hexuan said: "The central government must be prepared for a long-term war of resistance. As Mr. Dai Ren said, after a few years, the Japanese army will surely make a comeback. At that time, it cannot be resolved through peace talks. It was a national war, and there were thousands of casualties on both sides. Tens of thousands of national wars will turn most of China into a piece of scorched earth."

"Mr. Zhou's alarmist talk is definitely not the case." Wang Zhaoming interrupted suddenly.

Zhou Hexuan directly ignored Wang Zhaoming, and said to Chang Kaishen: "China's top priority is to build the country to prepare for future wars; military pressure."

Chang Kaishen nodded appreciatively and said, "What Mr. Zhou said is an old-fashioned strategy for seeking the country."

In fact, Yan Huiqing had already been in contact with the Soviet Union secretly, but the central government's attitude towards this was vacillating, for fear that the resumption of diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union would offend Britain, the United States and other countries.

Zhou Hexuan said: "Mr. Chairman, I have another suggestion. When China resumes diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union, it should advocate the recovery of Heixiazi Island. After the incident on the Middle East Road, Heixiazi Island has been occupied by Soviet troops illegally. They will definitely not easily Return. China can promise the Soviet Union to station troops, but the sovereignty of the island must belong to China, which should be established in the form of documents. The Soviet Union urgently needs international recognition. They are willing to restore diplomatic relations with China. With China’s official recognition, they are black blind There is also a legal basis for the garrison of the island, which is happy for both parties."

"Well, I got it." Chang Kaishen's tone was obviously perfunctory, he probably didn't even know where Heixiazi Island was, let alone those few border islands.

Zhou Hexuan was very helpless about this, and he didn't count on Chang Kaishen. He was going to write directly to Yan Huiqing in Neigeva, and he must get back the sovereignty of Heixiazi Island. This is a territorial dispute that lasted into the 21st century.

Zhou Hexuan continued: "There will be an international non-war conference in Europe at the end of next month. Mr. Einstein has already written to invite me to attend. I will try my best to appeal internationally, hoping to get the support of some international anti-war people."

"Then I wish Mr. Zhou a smooth journey!" Chang Kaishen paid more attention to this. He was not sure whether Japan would withdraw its troops. It would be good to arouse international sympathy.

Zhou Hexuan said: "That's all I want to say, I've finished it."

"Mr. Zhou's speech was wonderful." Chang Kaishen took the lead in applauding.

Compared with those democrats who don't know anything about four or six, Zhou Hexuan is obviously much more pleasing to the eye, at least not talking big and empty words, Chang Kaishen still admires Zhou Hexuan.

The meeting was soon declared to be a successful conclusion, and that night Zhou Hexuan was summoned by Chang Kaishen, and the two had a secret discussion on the Sino-Japanese issue, but no one knew exactly what they discussed.
