Ni Hua glanced at the reporter and said: "My husband, General Liu Yimin, told me that both the Kuomintang and the Communist Party are political parties in China, and they are political groups working for China's independence and freedom, just like the Democratic Party and the Republican Party in the United States.
.In the current situation of Japanese aggression, the Communist Party of China and the Chinese Kuomintang have joined hands to form an anti-Japanese united front to lead the people of the country to unite to resist Japan. The 18th Group Army belongs to the battle order of the Chinese National Revolutionary Army and also accepts the leadership of the National Government
On the issue of anti-Japanese resistance, the Eighteenth Army Group and the National Government have the same position and attitude. Friend this reporter, I can tell you that Ms. Soong Ching Ling, the wife of Mr. Sun Yat-sen, the former Prime Minister of the National Government, and the wife of Mr. Chiang Kai-shek, the current Chairman of the Military Commission of the National Government
Ms. Song Meiling, and Ms. Song Ailing, the wife of Mr. Kong Xiangxi, the current Minister of Finance of the Nationalist Government, are all my cousins. I believe that they, including Chairman Chiang Kai-shek himself, will support my attitude. I wonder if you are satisfied with my answer? "
The reporter from the "Los Angeles Times" opened his eyes wide and replied repeatedly: "I am very satisfied. Thank you to the beautiful Dr. Ni Hua."
Immediately, another reporter asked: "The Communist Party I know all believes in Marxism and implements extreme policies that go against human nature. I would like to ask Dr. Ni Hua, you have received American democracy, freedom and fraternity education, why do you want to join the Communist Party?
?”
Ni Hua thought for a while and knew that the reporter was an extremely conservative guy, so he replied: "Mr. reporter, first of all, I am just a soldier of the 18th Group Army of China. I have not yet been honored to be a Communist Party member. Chapter 2
Second, I think you have a misunderstanding about the Communist Party of China, or you have listened to inaccurate reports. The senior leaders of the Communist Party of China that I know, including my husband, are all people with ideals, pursuits, intelligence, and
Integrity, kindness, and extremely well-educated people. Quite a few of them returned from studying in France and the Soviet Union. Even those who did not study abroad are also very high-level intellectuals. My husband is not only a brave and capable general.
, Yingmai is unparalleled, and he is proficient in poetry, calligraphy and painting, and is a very good painter. His piano playing level is no less than that of first-class American pianists. Third, as far as I know, the Chinese Communist Party implemented in Shaanxi
The policy has not only won the support of farmers, but also the support of industrial and commercial people. Shaanxi welcomes American industrial and commercial people to invest and start businesses. Fourth, my husband told me that Marxism is a scientific theoretical system. Since it is a theory, it needs
Constantly improve and develop, and constantly correct mistakes in practice to make it more perfect. In fact, I don’t understand Marxism, but my husband once introduced it to me in detail. According to him, Marxist theory is to guide people through struggle.
, seeking the true freedom and liberation of mankind and the greatest perfection of human nature. Fifth, whether it is Marxism or freedom, democracy and fraternity, it is all to promote social development and progress. The Japanese pursue militarism and aggressive expansion policies.
, is the natural enemy of the peaceful development of mankind and the common enemy of people regardless of belief. My friend, my answer is very superficial. If you have the chance, I would like to invite you to go to China and get to know my husband and my wife.
Comrades, they will definitely give you a satisfactory answer. I wonder if you are willing to be friends with the Chinese?"
To Ni Hua's surprise, the reporter did not continue to attack, but said politely: "Dr. Ni Hua, although you said your answer was very superficial, your explanation is very novel. I have never heard such an interpretation before. I
I think your husband must be a person with unique insights into Marxism. I must go to China and meet your husband and other Chinese Communists. Thank you, I am very satisfied."
Ni Hua felt relieved and said with a smile: "My friend, you are welcome to go to China. I promise that your trip will be worthwhile."
The press conference lasted until 8 pm. By the time Ni Hua dragged his exhausted body back to the school dormitory, it was already 9 pm.
After eating haphazardly and washing up, Ni Hua wrote in his diary: "Dear, I am very satisfied with my performance today. This is the first time I have pushed the United States to support our war of resistance, and I hope to do the same next time."
success."
The next day, all major newspapers in New York reported the press conference on their first page.
The headline on the first page of the "New York Times" is "Dr. Ni Hua, wife of China's legendary hero General Liu Yimin, accuses the Japanese army of atrocities invading China with blood and tears", the headline on the second page is "Dr. Ni Hua calls on the just United States to stop Japan's invasion of China", and the headline on the third page is
It is "Dr. Ni Hua calls on the American people to take action and support China's war of resistance with practical actions." The title of the fourth edition is "Burning China."
The first edition is full of tragedies caused by the Japanese army. The time, place, and number of victims are accurately recorded. Not only is the information detailed, but the descriptions are also realistic, as if you were there in person.
The second page mainly contains the New York Times reporter's analysis of U.S. foreign policy. It not only covers the situation of Chiang Kai-shek's government seeking assistance from the United States, but also the figures of Japan's import of strategic materials from the United States over the years. At the end of the article, in eye-catching large fonts
He wrote: "American materials are becoming the material basis for Japan's invasion of China. Bombs made of American steel are falling on the heads of the suffering Chinese people. The Chinese earth is groaning."
The third page published photos taken by the New York Times reporter in China: starving victims, Chinese soldiers who were short of guns and ammunition, photos of soldiers holding grenades and Japanese tanks dying together on the Songhu battlefield, and then China
List of urgently needed U.S. private donations.
The fourth page is an introduction to the results of the Chinese army's battles during the Anti-Japanese War. Including Lieutenant General Seishiro Itagaki, the numbers, numbers, names, birthplaces and other information of the Japanese troops destroyed by the Japanese army are very detailed.
The myth of victory is shattered.
In order to expand the publicity effect and increase newspaper sales, the "New York Times" also launched a special issue "Peerless Beauty Interprets Peerless Legend - Exclusive Interview with Dr. Ni Hua and the Love and Love of the Legendary Hero Liu Yimin". The article described Ni Hua as a former
The angel who came out of Columbia University School of Medicine wrote Liu Yimin as a peerless hero who fell in love with Ni Hua at first sight. The writing style was tortuous and vivid, and it was very expensive in Luoyang.
Other newspapers also closely grasped the news highlights, such as "Look, this is the brutal behavior of the Imperial Japanese Army", "North China is crying", "Japanese troops ravaging both sides of the Yangtze River", "How Itagaki Seishiro performed caesarean section to apologize", "
"The Killed Japanese Generals", "The Chinese Army Annihilated 40,000 Japanese Army in World War I", "Miracle, the Vice President of the Eighth Route Army General Hospital turned out to be a PhD candidate at Columbia University School of Medicine", "The Legend of Love under the Fire of War - A Record of the Republic of China"
The life-and-death love between Liu Yimin, the instructor of the Eighth Route Army, and a female doctor from Columbia University", "The Angel of the East turned out to be a Chinese female officer", "The Wonder of American Education - From Soong Ailing, Soong Ching-ling, Soong Meiling to Ni Hua" and other large-format titles, comprehensive reports on those who have seen it
The situation of the meet-and-greet.
New York is in shock!
The United States is a place where journalism is highly developed and a place where news is made. Ordinary people have just emerged from the economic crisis, the shadow of unemployment and bankruptcy, and are in need of exciting and inspiring breaking news. Ni Hua’s identity and her
The exposed brutality of the Japanese invasion just catered to this need. It was precisely because of this that Mr. Salzberg spared no effort to help Ni Hua.
So, New Yorkers are talking and New Yorkers are taking action.
After the teachers and students of Columbia University read the newspaper, they learned that the Oriental Angel in the medical school was actually the vice president of the Eighth Route Army General Hospital in China and the wife of General Liu Yimin, who wiped out 40,000 Japanese troops in World War I. While proud and proud, the student union quickly launched a
We organized the "I Donate One Dollar Campaign for China's Suffering" and organized donations from teachers and students.
After reading the newspapers, the overseas Chinese in New York had a relatively comprehensive understanding of the motherland's Anti-Japanese War. Various Chinese business associations quickly contacted Ni Hua and decided to set up a donation hotline in the New York Times and set up a special bank account. At the same time, they contacted Ni Hua
Contact overseas Chinese organizations in major cities in the United States to mobilize donations of money and materials. Organize overseas Chinese to return home to participate in the war, supervise trade between Japan and the United States, and rely on the power of the media as much as possible to prevent Japan from importing strategic materials from the United States.
Taking into account Japan's reaction, the Chinese Chamber of Commerce decided to hire six bodyguards to serve as security guards during Ni Hua's return to the United States to ensure safety.
Some Democratic congressmen began to publish articles in newspapers and accept radio interviews, calling on the government to study the pros and cons of foreign policy as soon as possible to provide correct reference materials for the president's decision-making.
The Republican congressmen were not polite. One congressman sharply pointed out: "It is undeniable that President Franklin Roosevelt's economic policies are successful and have made great contributions to the United States' exit from the economic crisis. But Mr. Roosevelt obviously does not pay enough attention to what is happening around us.
Let the aggressive Japanese bandits sail to the United States in a big way, take away our scrap steel, oil, and rubber by the boatloads, and make them into airplanes, tanks, bombs, and bayonets to massacre innocent Chinese civilians. I
Ashamed of being an American and ashamed of having such a president!"
Democratic Congressman Wilkie immediately pointed out on the radio: "The president's policy needs to be revised, but the key issue is not whether the president's decision is correct or not, but the abominable Japanese who are good at lying have deceived our foreign affairs department and deceived the president.
, deceived the whole world. Since the September 18th Incident, the Japanese have refused to implement the findings of the League of Nations. Now we need to consider imposing sanctions on Japan, otherwise it will encourage the Japanese’s aggressive ambitions.”
In the early morning, Fifth Avenue was crowded with people going to work. Ni Hua held a donation box with the words "Donate for China's Anti-Japanese War" in his hand, and stood on the roadside with a few volunteers and bodyguards hired by the Chinese Chamber of Commerce.
In the howling cold wind, he called on passers-by to donate money.
Most ordinary Americans are kind-hearted. Seeing that they are donating money to China, many people donate generously, and a long queue gradually forms in front of the donation box.
A ragged black beggar also donated the only 75 cents he had. Ni Hua couldn't bear to ask for his money, so he said thank you for his support to the Chinese people. His life was just as difficult, so there was no need to donate.
After the black beggar said no twice, he insisted on throwing the money into the donation box and said: "I can still maintain my livelihood on Fifth Avenue, but the Chinese people who are caught in the war may not even be able to find a safe road.
It’s not here.”
Ni Hua was so moved that he held back the tears that were about to burst out of his eyes and bowed deeply to the black beggar.
Seeing that it was time to go to work, the number of pedestrians on Fifth Avenue was gradually sparse. Ni Hua was about to ask everyone to put away the donation boxes and continue working in another place when he saw a young man wearing a thick kimono and an arrogant expression walking over.
Behind him were several people who looked like followers.
The young man folded his hands in his kimono, looked at the donation box in Ni Hua's hand with disdain, and said contemptuously in Japanese: "The Chinese pigs are really shameless and even beg money from foreign beggars. If my woman dares to do this, I will
She should have had her caesarean section to apologize a long time ago! The Chinese people should really learn the pure and noble spirit of Bushido from our Empire of Japan!" After saying this, his followers laughed wildly.
One of the followers was even more arrogant. He jumped out and shouted twice in Chinese and English what the little boss had just said. The Japanese laughed even more arrogantly.
As soon as he finished speaking, the black beggar rushed forward and hit the young man in the kimono hard on the nose with a straight fist, causing blood to flow from him and he fell to the ground. The kimono embroidered with cherry blossoms rolled on the ground behind the snow.
The muddy water suddenly lost its color and became a mess.
Before the Japanese could react, the old black man shouted to the patrolman not far away: "Hey, Joe! There's something going on here!"
The bodyguards and volunteers around Ni Hua also gathered around and stared hard at the Japanese.
Ni Hua stepped forward and said slowly: "This money comes from the kind-hearted American people and Chinese expatriates. It is used to resist the aggression of the Japanese invaders and save the suffering Chinese people. If you think our fundraising is a shame, it shows that you
You don’t understand what shame is at all, and it shows that you are just a stupid guy who has been educated in Japanese militarism. You roaring like a vicious dog on the streets is the real shame! You can choose to commit suicide here, or
You can choose to retaliate against me, but please understand that your revenge, just like your hypocritical bushido, will never succeed!"
Seeing that the police were already running quickly, the Japanese young man who took the lead did not bother to pester him anymore and ran away in dejection with a few followers.
This incident triggered demonstrations by overseas Chinese in New York. Under the organization of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, the overseas Chinese in New York took action and went to Japan with slogans such as "Stop the aggression, stop the massacre" and "Japanese invaders, get out of China."
Protest at the Consulate in New York.
Many overseas Chinese also held a sit-in in front of the New York City Hall with slogans such as "The just United States will support China in launching a just anti-aggression war", "Sanction Japan and suspend trade with Japan", and "Trading with Japan is the massacre of the Chinese people".
, the mayor of New York, Mr. LaGuardia, was so panicked that he hurriedly contacted the overseas Chinese to seek their opinions, and promised that the wishes of the overseas Chinese would be reported to the president and the Ministry of Commerce. I believe that President Roosevelt will definitely make a clear stance.
LaGuardia is a relatively famous mayor in the history of New York and has a high reputation. His statement is undoubtedly a signal. The consul of the Japanese Consulate in New York did not dare to neglect and hurriedly reported the situation in New York to the Japanese Embassy in the United States.
and report to the country.
Ni Hua and the Chinese businessmen met in a good situation, so they increased publicity and fundraising efforts, organized overseas Chinese and international students to go to streets and communities in New York to publicize China's war of resistance, expose the atrocities of the Japanese army, win the support of ordinary citizens, and provide convenience for everyone to donate.
Serve.
What happened in New York quickly spread throughout the world, and many countries condemned the Japanese government's policy of aggression and expansion and the Japanese army's bestiality. Japanese Foreign Minister Hachiro Arita held a press conference in Tokyo and denied Ni Hua's accusations against the Japanese army's bestiality.
He claimed that the Imperial Army was strictly disciplined and that such a thing would never happen. All friendly countries were asked not to believe China's rumors easily, and at the same time, they strictly ordered the Japanese Embassy in the United States to take quick action to restore the impact.
Before Hachiro Arita could take further action, he received a call from Prime Minister Konoe Fumima. After scolding Baga, Konoe Fumima coldly told him to go and apologize to the emperor himself.
Arita Hachiro despised Konoe in his heart, so he greeted all the women in the Konoe family, and then hurried into the palace to report to the emperor what was happening in the United States.
Emperor Hirohito had just had sex with Empress Ryoko last night. The gentle and lovely Empress Ryoko was so moved that she even learned the secret technique handed down from the palace and served Hirohito well with her tender tongue, which made Hirohito happy to the core.
All flew into the sky.
Unexpectedly, things must turn against each other. As soon as they were crispy to the bone, news came from the other side that the United States was launching a frenzy to aid China. In a rage, Hirohito slapped a female officer who was waiting on him and knocked him to the ground, and then kicked him hard.
After a few kicks, Prime Minister Konoe Fumima and Foreign Minister Arita Hachiro were notified to come and summon them. Who would have thought that Konoe Fumima was cunning and cunning, knowing that there was no good fruit to eat when he came, so he used the excuse that he was infected with cold and bedridden, and asked Foreign Minister Arita Hachiro to do it.
People are coming.
Hirohito looked at Hachiro Arita who was kneeling under the throne and kowtowing with a little disgust. He felt that this guy was as stupid as a pig. The Chinese had caused a storm in the United States, but Hachiro Arita, who was the Foreign Minister of the Japanese Cabinet, had not heard of it beforehand.
I don’t even know. If everything is like this, then why talk about a full-scale occupation of China?
Hate to hate, Hirohito also knew that he could not blame Arita Hachiro's incompetence entirely. It was really his own warriors who were too incompetent. He originally boasted that China would be destroyed in three months, but now it will be five months soon. Not only did China not be destroyed, but it was not destroyed.
The fate of a young warrior. Itagaki Seishiro had a caesarean section to apologize, Kasahara Yukio and others died in the battle, so we can’t force Arita Hachiro to have a caesarean section too, right?
After much deliberation, Hirohito comforted Arita Hachiro with a few words, and then ordered Arita Hachiro to go to the United States in person to meet President Roosevelt and American dignitaries. He must explain the respect of the Empire of Japan to the United States of America and maintain friendly relations between the two countries. It is necessary.
At that time, you can find more parliamentarians and social groups, spend more gold tickets, and ask them to help clear the name of the Imperial Army. You can also find more evidence, such as taking some photos of the friendship between the Imperial Army and the Chinese people, and bring them to the United States.
Publish it in an American newspaper to safeguard the dignity of the Japanese Empire and the dignity of the Yamato warriors.
It wasn't until Arita Hachiro Hay and Hay agreed repeatedly that Hirohito had a smile on his thin face and waved him away.
After receiving the report about the press conference held by Ni Hua in the United States, Chiang Kai-shek laughed loudly and went directly with his wife to have a Western meal. Even his wife's complaint that the Western food cooked by Chongqing chefs was not authentic sounded very beautiful.
Song Meiling didn't know why her husband was so happy. He always had a smile on his face, so she asked if he had won another battle.
Chiang Kai-shek smiled and said that it was a particularly big victory, but it was not on the battlefield against Japan, but in the United States. The winner was not any general, but our most beautiful little cousin Ni Hua.
Song Meiling was confused when she heard this, with a puzzled look on her face.
Chiang Kai-shek handed the telegram sent by the personnel stationed in the United States to Soong Meiling and asked her to read it slowly. After Soong Meiling read it, Chiang Kai-shek asked if this was a great victory.
Song Meiling was full of joy and said with a smile: "When I saw Liu Yimin in Taiyuan, I thought that only Ni Hua could match him. I thought that after Ni Hua returned to China, I would ask you to convene a military meeting and invite Liu Yimin to attend and create something for them.
We don't have to worry about this opportunity to get to know each other in the future. The two of them will definitely fall in love. Now even this is omitted. Liu Yimin is already our relative. From now on, tell Dai Li to stop being evil to Liu Yimin.
If something goes wrong, I can't explain it to my uncle."
Chiang Kai-shek nodded repeatedly, and then scolded Dai Li for being incompetent. He didn't know such important information. His daughter was already married, and his family was still kept in the dark. It was a shame!
Song Meiling pursed her lips and smiled: "It's not that your Dai Li is too incompetent, it's that my little cousin is too powerful. Even I don't know about such a big thing. This girl has grown up and knows how to hide her worries. However, this time she is
She has done great service, and when she comes back, you must reward her well."
Chiang Kai-shek kept saying yes, yes, and then told his wife to quickly let Ni Hua return to the country. His identity was exposed and he could easily be in danger. The Japanese have great power in the United States, so we must prevent them from taking risks.
After hearing this, Soong Meiling couldn't sit still, and immediately took Chiang Kai-shek back to the camp and sent a report directly to Ni Hua, asking her to quickly complete the thesis defense, go to Guangzhou via Hong Kong, and fly directly from Guangzhou to Chongqing.
After sending the telegram, Chiang Kai-shek thought about it carefully and felt that he should take advantage of Ni Hua's good start to win support from the United States, so he discussed with Soong Meiling and invited the U.S. Ambassador to China to have a meal. Soong Meiling was in a happy mood at this time, so naturally she agreed to it, even the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
No notice was given and he went directly to the US ambassador.
Winter in Moscow is cold.
After Wang Ming came out of the office of the Secretary of the Communist International, he walked to the street. He felt that the cold wind today was particularly biting, going straight into his neck. He wrapped a scarf around it again, put his hands into his coat pockets, and Wang Ming hurried back.
Stationed.
In the evening, Wang Ming held a branch meeting in the Comintern and informed the instructor, Mrs. Liu Yimin, and the Vice President of the Eighth Route Army General Hospital, Ni Hua, who was studying for a doctorate in the United States and held a press conference to seek assistance and support from the United States. He asked everyone to do a good job.
In preparation, he will lead his team back to China in the near future to strengthen leadership in the war against Japan.
After Wang Ming finished speaking, he hurriedly ended the meeting without allowing everyone to discuss it, and began to prepare for his return to China.
After several consecutive days of fundraising, the results were great. In New York alone, US$1.3 million was raised, and when included in other cities, the total amount reached US$3 million. Ni Hua asked Chen Jie to send a report to the central government, explaining that the funds raised were passed through the Overseas Chinese Chamber of Commerce and the New York
The Times and other news media supervised that the money cannot be used in the accounts of Minhua International Trading Company and must be used to purchase urgently needed war materials in the country and transport them back to the country.
After receiving the report, Chen Yun immediately reported to Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai. While these few people were happy about achieving such a great achievement, they were also worried about how to transport the materials back. Transporting them to Hong Kong was not a big problem, but how to transport them to the base area was a big problem.
After much deliberation, Mao Zedong felt that the instructor must control a port in Shandong to receive US aid supplies. It was not safe even here, and how to escape the arrogant Japanese navy was still a big problem.
After much deliberation, several people decided to leave the matter to Liu Yimin. Since the funds raised mainly by Ni Hua were mainly used for instructors to establish the Shandong base area. Anyway, it will be difficult for instructors to obtain supplements and weapons from the Shaanxi base area in the future.
Ammunition and even supplies are problems. With these US aid supplies, the situation will be much better. As other divisions of the Eighth Route Army develop in Shanxi and Hebei, they can rely on the Shaanxi base area to supplement their supplies.
After receiving the central telegram, Liu Yimin immediately asked Qian Zhuangfei to send a report to Ni Hua, and purchase equipment for small steel plants, power plants, arsenals, explosives plants, and pharmaceutical plants according to the Shaanxi arsenal supporting model. If he can see President Roosevelt, he must ask for support in weapons
Ammunition, gas masks, sniper rifles and other equipment. If we really can’t support it, let us purchase some anti-aircraft guns, anti-aircraft machine guns, sniper rifles and accompanying ammunition normally. If it doesn’t work this time, it doesn’t matter, we can still work hard in the future. After the equipment procurement is completed, we will quickly
Shipped to Hong Kong, waiting for orders. Ni Hua himself also had to return to China quickly to prevent Japanese spies from jumping over the wall.
After receiving the report, Ni Hua asked Mr. Wilson to refer to the last purchased equipment list, immediately organize the purchase, and ship the donated materials together with them to Hong Kong.
After leaving Minhua International Trading Company, Ni Hua called Mr. Doug and asked about the time for thesis defense and the specific time to go to Washington.
Mr. Doug told Ni Hua that the invited experts have arrived and will conduct a thesis defense the day after tomorrow. After the defense, a degree awarding ceremony will be held, and then he can go to Washington.
After making the phone call, Ni Hua was busy preparing for his thesis defense and left all the fundraising to the Chinese Chamber of Commerce.
Ni Hua did not know that at this time, in his distant motherland, in the ancient stone city, hundreds of thousands of Chinese and Japanese troops were engaged in a fierce street battle in Nanjing.
