Chapter 111 Someone is holding back, Chen Qiang makes a move!
In early March, Britain, the United States, France and other countries affected the Yangtze River shipping due to the war in Shanghai, which damaged their interests in China. They finally intervened and forced the Japanese government to come to the negotiating table, and the situation began to stabilize.
At this time, Zhang Boling and Hao Gengsheng, president of the National Sports Association, also came to Luoyang and worked hard to form the Chinese Olympic delegation to participate in the 1932 Los Angeles Olympics.
The reason I went to Luoyang was because after the "January 28th" period, the Republic of China government moved the capital to Luoyang for safety.
During the Republic of China, sports were managed by the education department, but at this time the Ministry of Education in the Republic of China was a little confused.
Minister of Education Zhu Jiahua showed an active anti-Japanese attitude during the September 18th period, and submitted his resignation many times after the Nanjing military and police suppressed students, which was obviously supporting progressive students. Moreover, Zhu Jiahua had close contacts with Commander Cai of the 19th Route Army, and also used his connections in Germany to purchase a batch of German equipment for the 19th Route Army, causing the 19th Route Army to attack the Japanese army during the Battle of Shanghai.
These behaviors violate the political line of "the main boss must first calm the country when he fights against foreign countries". It would be great to sing a counter-topic with the main boss in Nanjing! Therefore, although Zhu Jiahua is now known as the Minister of Education, he does not have the reality of the Minister of Education. The real power of the Ministry of Education is not in the hands of Zhu Jiahua at all.
The boss was not satisfied with Zhu Jiahua and was always looking for a candidate for the new Minister of Education. He originally wanted to invite geologist Weng Wenhao to serve as Minister of Education, but at this time Weng Wenhao refused to go into politics and repeatedly refused Nanjing's invitation.
So now the power of the Ministry of Education is basically concentrated on Duan Xipeng, the deputy director of the Ministry of Education. Duan Xipeng temporarily moves on the power of the minister in the name of the deputy director.
The second minister who does not want to be a minister is not a good second minister. Deputy Director Duan must have wanted to become a regular manager, so Deputy Director Duan was conscientious during his period as Minister, at least he did not make any contribution but only wanted to be without any mistakes.
The main task of the second son at this time is to maintain stability. Let those students stop taking to the streets to demonstrate and marches. As long as they can do this, they will definitely be favored by the big shots above and will surely have a prosperous future.
Under such circumstances, the establishment of an Olympic delegation to participate in the Los Angeles Olympics is undoubtedly causing trouble for himself!
...
After all, Zhang Boling is a master of the education industry. He personally asked to meet Duan, and Duan must come forward to receive it.
However, when Zhang Boling talked about establishing the Chinese Olympic delegation, Deputy Director Duan complained and shied.
"Principal Zhang, our Ministry of Education is willing to support athletes in participating in Olympic athletes and bring glory to the country. However, the country is in danger and the Japanese are eyeing it. Now the top priority is "Anne". Let's take a slowdown in participating in the Olympic Games first!"
"Besides, even if our Ministry of Education approved the establishment of the Olympic Olympic delegation, the funds for the competition in the United States cannot be solved! Last year, the flood was released. In order to provide disaster relief, the government had issued tens of millions of bonds. Later, in the national crisis, the finances were already stretched! President Zhang, to be honest, the salary of teachers from Nanjing Central University is still in arrears. The national primary and secondary schools across the country have more wages. The Ministry of Education really has no money to give athletes a visit to the Olympic Games in the United States!"
The Ministry of Education has no money, which is the truth. Zhang Boling has long heard of the arrears of teachers' wages. But then again, if one-tenth of the money used to fight the civil war can be used for education, the teacher's wages will not be owed.
Zhang Boling made a good statement about the benefits of participating in the Olympics, but Director Duan was just posing as a quarrel. He kept telling the Ministry of Education how difficult it was and shirked various reasons, and in the end, Zhang Boling said that he had returned in vain.
In the view of Director Duan, it is better to have less than more things. The government is busy negotiating with the Japanese, so the Ministry of Education should not be able to find trouble at this critical moment.
In desperation, Zhang Boling approached Wang Zhengting again. Wang Zhengting was a member of the International Olympic Committee, so Zhang Boling hoped that Wang Zhengting could come forward to help.
If it was Wang Zhengting, who was the Foreign Minister of the Republic of China before the September 18th, held great power, he would be a real person with all his own words. It would be a matter of being able to set up an Olympic delegation and approve some funds.
Unfortunately, Wang Zhengting was forced to resign because of the September 18th Incident and now he has no power. Although he helped Zhang Boling to work actively and tried his best to promote Chinese athletes to participate in the Olympics, he was still futile in the end.
The world is in a bad state, and a high-ranking official who loses power will be worthless.
Although Zhang Boling worked hard and found relationships from all sides, he ended up receiving only a cold reply from the Ministry of Education:
"The country is in trouble, time is in a hurry, and preparations are not enough, so athletes are not sent to the 10th Olympic Games held in Los Angeles."
The decision of the Ministry of Education was like pouring cold water on it, but it instantly aroused the anger of the entire sports world.
...
Zhang Boling did not return to Tianjin, and he was still running around for the Olympics.
However, the news that the Ministry of Education did not send athletes to the Olympics has been circulated back to Tianjin.
Chen Qiang held a new issue of the Sports Weekly, which contained a comment from the famous sports reporter Ruan Weicun: "Recalling that since the last China sent Song Ruhai to attend, the sports industry had great hopes at that time, thinking that at the 10th Congress, China must have hope of selecting contestants to attend. Four years have passed, and our passion in the past is now desperate again."
Four years ago at the Amsterdam Olympics, the Chinese Sports Association sent Song Ruhai to the Netherlands as an observer. This was also the first time that Chinese people appeared in the Olympics as an official identity after the founding of the Republic of China. At that time, the sports industry was very eager for China to participate in the Los Angeles Olympics.
Looking at this report, Chen Qiang was in a state of turmoil. He had known the result for a long time.
"I don't ask for support from the Ministry of Education, I just hope that they don't pull their backs. But now it seems that it's a luxury to let these people not pull their backs!"
Chen Qiang put down the newspaper and looked out the window. It was March. Although it was already spring, there was still a hint of coolness floating in the air outside.
"Fortunately it's March, and there is still time to operate." Chen Qiang sighed. In his opinion, the Olympic road has not been blocked yet, and his first Olympic journey still has a glimmer of hope.
"Now, only the army is in danger. If you shake out that matter in advance, there may be a turning point."
Li Dai returned to the table, took out several envelopes from the drawer, checked the letters inside, and then wrote down the address of the recipient on the envelope.
...
The postman rode his bicycle to the door of the Ta Kung Pao newspaper and walked in with a thick stack of letters.
After receiving the letters in the Ta Kung Pao, the mailing room of the Ta Kung Pao classified them one by one. Except for some private letters, most of the others were letters from readers.
Suddenly, an envelope attracted the attention of the staff of the mailroom. The envelope did not have the address of the sender, but it contained four big words "top secret revelations".
"This is an anonymous letter, top secret revelation? Is it news material provided by someone?" The staff member was stunned and finally decided to hand the letter over to the editor-in-chief.
Not long after, the letter came to the editor-in-chief. When the editor got the letter, he opened it and slapped the table, and his face looked even more angry.
"It's so unreasonable, it's really unreasonable. Damn the Japanese, is this bullying me, no one in China?" the editor-in-chief shouted angrily.
Several editors immediately walked up to him when they heard the editor-in-chief's roar.
"Editor-in-chief, what happened?"
"Did the Japanese send troops again?"
The editor-in-chief took a deep breath and said, "I just received a revelation from anonymous people that the pseudo-'Manchukuo' created by the Japanese is going to send athletes from Northeast China to the United States to participate in the Olympic Games!"
...
"No., outside, the puppet Manchukuo sent people to participate in the Olympic Games!"
"In addition, Northeast athletes will represent the puppet Manchukuo to the United States to participate in the competition!"
"In addition to the title, the puppet Manchukuo puppets may be recognized internationally!"
For a moment, the news that the pseudo-Manchukuo would send Northeastern athletes to the Los Angeles Olympics spread throughout Tianjin, and then quickly spread to important cities such as Peking, Shanghai, and Nanjing through telegrams.
All of this was of course Chen Qiang's work, and those anonymous revelations were also sent by Chen Qiang.
Previously, many newspapers in Tianjin came to interview Chen Qiang, and Chen Qiang became familiar with the media in Tianjin, and now it comes in handy. The reporters' business cards I got at that time had the addresses of newspapers. Each newspaper sent an anonymous letter, which instantly triggered public opinion in the entire Tianjin.
Historically, the Ministry of Education of the Republic of China decided not to participate in the Los Angeles Olympics, and the puppet Manchukuo puppet regime announced the participation of the Olympics, which happened in May, but because of Chen Qiang's arrival, many things were ahead of schedule.
Zhang Boling tried his best to promote Chen Qiang to participate in the Los Angeles Olympics, so he went to the Ministry of Education to operate just after the Chinese New Year. Zhang Boling looked for people everywhere to operate. After such a fuss, the Ministry of Education announced in March that it would not send people to participate in the Los Angeles Olympics.
Chen Qiang took advantage of the situation and simply leaked the news of the pseudo-Manchukuo participating in the Olympics, breaking the window paper.
Historically, the Ministry of Education of the Republic of China made a hurried decision to send athletes to the Olympics after learning that the pseudo-Manchukuo sent athletes to participate.
Because the Republic of China government did not recognize the puppet Manchukuo puppet regime, they were worried that the puppet Manchukuo participating in international events such as the Olympics would be equivalent to international recognition, which would lead to a diplomatic failure of the Republic of China government.
Originally, the Olympics could only be considered a matter in the sports world, but because the pseudo-Manchukuo wanted to participate in the Olympics, it instantly became a diplomatic matter, and it involved the country's sovereignty. Even if the government of the Republic of China was busy "to rebel against foreign countries, they would not be able to ignore this matter.
From another perspective, if the pseudo-Manchukuo did not send athletes to the Olympics, the Republic of China government would not send athletes to participate at all.
...
The news that the pseudo-Manchukuo sent people to participate in the Olympics was heard, and the crowd was infuriated again!
Originally, the fact that Japan supported the puppet Manchukuo puppet regime in Northeast China made countless Chinese people angry, but now they have to participate in international activities as a country, which is even more unbearable!
The key is that the Ministry of Education has just announced that it will not send athletes to participate in the Los Angeles Olympics. Since then, the news that the pseudo-Manchukuo has sent athletes to participate is to "slap the Ministry of Education in the face". The statement issued by the Ministry of Education before that it did not participate in the Olympics has suddenly become the endorsement of "destroying power and humiliating the country".
Many people even feel that it is precisely because the Ministry of Education is so negative that it announced that it will not participate in the Olympics that the pseudo-Manchukuo will select athletes to participate in the Olympics. This is clearly because the Ministry of Education itself sold the country's sovereignty! The Ministry of Education has also taken the blame for "traitors".
And those government officials who usually like to say something beautiful, such as "having a healthy appearance, then having a healthy spirit; having a healthy nation, then having a healthy nation" closed their mouths tightly and said nothing. After all, the boss is still busy "securing" and has not expressed his opinion on this matter. Those government officials dare not say anything more, so they can only choose to remain silent.
The silence of government officials was like cooking oil in flames, arousing great anger among young students and progressive forces, and the demonstrations and marchs took to the streets again.
Ordinary people may not know what the "Olympic" is, but they know that the Republic of China government did not send anyone to participate in this "Olympic", but the pseudo "Manchukuo" sent people! This is clearly bullying the Chinese, and this is absolutely unbearable!
China has been bullied by the Japanese since September last year and was pressed to the ground to rub. Although the Northeast was a bit frustrated, Japan is still a great power after all, and China now really can't beat them.
But even a puppet regime supported by Japan has been bullied by the Chinese people just one month after its establishment. How could the Chinese people be so likely not to be angry?
What's more, the pseudo-Manchukuo sent Northeastern athletes to participate in the Olympics, and they were all dignified Chinese athletes. How could they accomplice the pseudo-Manchukuo for the tiger?
As many people say, it is good for one hundred people to know what the "Olympic" is, but it is possible for everyone to distinguish between good and evil, good and bad; it is also possible for everyone to understand the matter of national justice.
Those who took to the streets to demonstrate, even if they didn't know what "Olympic" is or what sports is, they knew that the Chinese were being bullied, and the noble and noble officials ignored it!
...
The Ministry of Education’s temporary office in Luoyang was gathered in front of the door, and they all came to the Ministry of Education to ask for an explanation.
Chief Duan did not dare to walk through the main entrance. He was afraid that he would be stopped by the crowd. If someone was excited and beat him up, it would be a bad thing.
Walking in quietly through the back door, Chief Duan felt like he was a thief.
"Hey, what kind of world is this?" Duan Ci sighed. He really felt wronged now. Didn't he just send someone to participate in the Olympics? Because of this, he was almost called a traitor!
"Even if I am willing to send someone, the superiors have no money to allocate funds! The United States cannot go, so why do they come for me!" Director Duan felt unjustly that he had been killed. The slander fell into trouble and his forehead felt numb.
The key point is that the boss above has never expressed his opinion on whether to participate in the Olympics. Deputy Director Duan can only continue to bear the blame.
At the same time, in Tokyo, Japan, Kishi Kishi, president of the Japan Sports Association, looked anxious.
"Strict investigation must be carried out! We must know how the news was leaked, why we have not taken action, the Chinese have already received the news and reported it extensively in the newspaper!"
An Qingyi snorted coldly and continued, "A traitor appeared inside us, and we must pull this traitor out!"
Chapter completed!
