Today, a total of 112 corrupt elements from Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces who were arrested in the previous anti-corruption campaign for cutting corners, shoddy goods, and accepting bribes that caused the Wufu Line and Xicheng Line defense fortifications to become unusable will be arrested.
A public trial was held next to the White Pagoda by the Qiantang River, and anyone who embezzled more than one thousand yuan would be shot.
An Yi has always had only one word for those who make war fortune and dare to attack the army and defense facilities: kill! Only by resolutely stopping this evil trend and stopping the corruption in the government and the army can the combat effectiveness of the army be guaranteed.
, to ensure that no accidents occur at critical times.
Regarding this trial, Chiang Kai-shek personally issued an order last night, with Major General Cheng Mingze, Chief of the Military Justice Department of the First Army, as the presiding judge.
The Military Justice Department, the Military Affairs Department, and the Accounting Department all sent important officials to accompany the trial.
Once verified, they will be identified as counter-revolutionaries and will be resolutely punished! No matter who is involved, once the investigation is completed, they will never tolerate the traitor and ruin the reputation of the government and the army!
An Yi originally took time out to come to Hangzhou, hoping to silence those who begged for mercy or exerted pressure in an attempt to overturn the verdict. However, as soon as Chiang Kai-shek showed his attitude, the original undercurrent suddenly turned into calm, even though many people secretly put An Yi into trouble.
Yi and An Jiajun hated each other to death, but on the surface they had to act like they were grieving and annihilating their relatives. Articles in the media that accused An Yi of being arbitrary and domineering disappeared in an instant, and the rest were filled with applause.
Just after nap time, An Yi held Kaplan's slim waist, whose face had not yet dissipated, and strolled by the West Lake. Shen Fengdao and Lin Yaodong followed from a distance, not disturbing the rare sweet time between the two.
"An, so far, about 20,000 Jews have migrated to southern Yunnan, and subsequent passenger ships are still heading to Qinzhou Port. However, the Masonic Presbyterian Church believes that this speed is not fast enough. The German Nazi government targeted the Jews.
There are more and more attacks, and the topic of anti-Semitism among the people is getting more and more sharp, and sooner or later it will explode. This time I came to Hangzhou with a heavy responsibility on my shoulders, and I am asking for your help."
Kaplan nestled his head on An Yi's shoulder, looked at An Yi's resolute handsome face with charming eyes, and said pitifully.
"But--"
An Yi hesitated and said truthfully: "Now we are at war with the Japanese. Although the war has calmed down for the time being, no one knows when the war will break out again, and it can be expected that once the war resumes,
China and Japan will be in a fight to the death.
"Our southern Sichuan government's finances are already extremely tight due to the restriction of our foreign trade channels. If the population increases so much all of a sudden, I don't know if we can bear it. If Jewish refugees migrate in in large numbers,
But our government cannot even satisfy their basic rights to survive. I would rather they stay in Germany, at least temporarily, to have food and clothing."
"No! According to the Nazi government's consistent attitude of hatred towards the Jews, once it chooses to take action, it will definitely be a terrible disaster!"
Kaplan shook his head repeatedly: "Don't worry, Ann, my love, your Kaplan will not let you suffer. After receiving the mission, I negotiated a good condition for you from the Presbyterian Council.
For one Jew, our Freemasonry will put five hundred dollars into Jiangnan Group's bank account in Switzerland. As long as we take in 200,000 Jews, we will make a profit of $100 million. If we take in one million, that will be $500 million.
USD income. With this money, you don’t have to worry about financial pressure.”
An Yi was greatly surprised. He stopped and looked at Kaplan seriously: "Dear, you have to tell me why... Why did you find me with such favorable conditions? China is currently at war and is not peaceful.
, why do you think of immigrating to China, which is in the midst of war? Aren’t you afraid of suffering disaster?”
"The relationship between countries and between nations is indeed very helpless!" Kaplan stared into An Yi's eyes without flinching and said bitterly: "In fact, the whole world is now anti-Semitic, because
The German government refuses to issue visas to Jews. Coupled with many reasons such as religious beliefs, customs and uneven distribution of wealth, countries such as Britain, France, Poland, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium and other countries, whether they are government members or military dignitaries, are hostile to the Jewish people.
Full of prejudice, they closed the door to negotiations before we even came to the door. Even the colonial governments of India, Australia, South Africa, Canada and other countries said no to our proposals.
"It's ironic when you think about it. The United States has always regarded itself as a country of violence. However, it is worried about causing misunderstandings in Germany and hindering the U.S. government's policy of maintaining peace in Europe. At the same time, there are also domestic
There is a raging anti-Semitic force. For example, Ford publicly wrote an article "International Jewish Forces: Urgent Problems in the World", which caused a huge response. Therefore, the U.S. government currently only allows a small number of Jewish experts and scholars to immigrate to the United States.
.We have no choice but China.”
An Yi nodded silently and continued to hold Kaplan's hand and walk forward.
Kaplan calmed down and said: "Of course, our actions are not without purpose. Jewish scholars and scientists who arrived in southern Yunnan last month formed a large inspection group to visit factories in southern Yunnan and southern Sichuan.
Enterprises have come to an almost unbelievable conclusion: Southern Sichuan now has amazing development potential, the industrial scale has reached at least half of Japan, and the technological level has reached or even surpassed Japan. Lize Meitner
, Planck, Nernst, Sommerfeld, Born, Niels Bohr, Leo Szilard and other experts and scholars also visited the legendary scientist Professor Tesla, who said that
It is the only place he has ever seen that is free of racial and religious discrimination. He is very happy working at the Xufu Research Institute, so the working hours he originally agreed with you last year expired, but he still did not choose to leave, especially
Now that China is being invaded, he will not leave Syria in a short time. For this reason, Professor Tesla has also mobilized our Jewish experts to truly regard southern Yunnan as his hometown, continue to engage in his own research, and contribute to the advancement of human science and technology.
And make unremitting efforts.”
An Yi did not expect that the Jewish immigrants would rate him so highly. He came to the willow tree by the lake and stopped to look at the distant landscape of the three pools reflecting the moon in the center of the West Lake. He pondered for a long time before turning his head and saying:
"Kaplan, with our close relationship, I will not hide it from you. According to the good cooperative relationship between the southern Sichuan government and the German government, we only need to make appropriate concessions in the transactions of tungsten, manganese, tin and other non-ferrous metals.
, it is absolutely possible to speed up the absorption of Jewish immigrants. You also know that Jiangnan Group, which I control, has absolute say in the supply of tungsten ore. Now 80% of the world's tungsten ore is
Provided by the Sichuan South Group, the only difference is that the delivery location used to be in coastal cities such as Shanghai, but now it has been changed to the Beibu Gulf. However, realistically speaking, I don’t want the Jews to just use China as a springboard to other countries.
When difficulties come, we do not welcome people who do not have the determination and courage to share the joys and sorrows with us and only want to escape.
"Therefore, I am ready to give Chinese citizenship to the Jews who immigrate to southern Yunnan. Jews, like Belarus, can work and study in southern Sichuan and southern Yunnan with peace of mind. But after Jews become Chinese citizens, they must fulfill the responsibilities of Chinese citizens! In
In the future Sino-Japanese war, supporting the southern Sichuan government is only the most basic requirement. They also have to join the army to defend 'their' country. Under the jurisdiction of the southern Sichuan government, the Jews can only enjoy ordinary national treatment like our people.
In other words, Jews who obtain Chinese nationality will enjoy the same rights and perform obligations as ordinary Chinese citizens!"
Kaplan was stunned, and after thinking calmly for a long time, he asked quietly: "Dear An, can you guarantee that we Jews will fully enjoy equal national treatment after becoming Chinese nationals? Can you guarantee that we will not be attacked because of unreasonable suspicions?"
Us?"
An Yi smiled: "Dear, don't you still know my influence in southern Sichuan and even China? Nothing I, An Yi, have said is impossible! I can make a promise to you: Our southern Sichuan government
We will use legislation to protect the rights and interests of the Jews! Make sure that the unfair treatment you have suffered in Europe for hundreds of years will not happen here!"
Kaplan was relieved: "Well, I will immediately convey your opinions to the elders of the Freemasons. I think no one in the world except the Sichuan government can help the Jews now, so your request should be met."
Honey, I have to leave, how long will you stay in Hangzhou?"
"I'll probably stay for one night, but it doesn't matter if I leave. You just have to go to Jiangnan Group's offices and ask around and you'll know I'm there."
After An Yi finished speaking, when she saw Kaplan closing her eyes, standing up on her petite body, and raising her head towards herself, she couldn't help but smile brightly, and kissed her lips gently.
...
***, since the cabinet held a general mobilization meeting on the spirit of the national war, in just a few days, the people of *** who advocate martial arts and are loyal to the emperor and patriotism have turned into war madmen. The whole country has responded with a voice, and all walks of life have responded.
Yedu held a massive uprising and sent representatives to Tokyo one after another to express their loyalty to the Japanese emperor and support sending troops to China to severely punish the brutal Chinese people.
Financiers and powerful figures in industry established the "Central Union for National Spiritual Mobilization" to raise huge war funds for the government. There was a craze for "supporting jihad" in the education sector. Not only did fanatical college and middle school students vote to join the army, but also many well-established young people
Teachers also took action, taking off their respected suits and putting on military uniforms, and went to the front lines singing passionate military songs.
In the event launched by the *** Women's Association to express condolences to the frontline soldiers, everyone, whether it was a gray-haired mother or a worried wife, worked all night to sew various mascots, insoles, bellybands and other "thousand-needle things" to condense the
Emotions were sent to the military. Even the left-wing trade unions affected by the Communist Party issued a statement condemning the Chinese government and supporting their own government's war actions.
In the "Yomiuri Shimbun" published today, Professor Sugame Matsuo of the University of Tokyo wrote: "War is by no means just an individual behavior, it is a confrontation for survival between groups, nations and nations, and countries.
Asia has a vast land and abundant resources, but its production is backward. The lives of the people in Asia have long been plagued by poverty and ignorance. Who can save them? Westerners cannot. Asia is Asia for Asians. Only the glory of our great empire can illuminate the Asian continent.
of darkness!”
Yokohama's Mainichi Shimbun retweeted a diary written by a female middle school student:
"These days, I have learned about the war that broke out in China through different channels, and my classmates are filled with indignation... The Chinese people are really hateful. They are obviously poor and barbaric, but they want to go against the great imperial army.
My classmates all said that we should send troops to occupy China and bring the vast land of China under the jurisdiction of the empire! I look forward to this day."
The Chugai Business Newspaper, controlled by the Mitsui Zaibatsu, published a reporter’s interview with a senior boy:
"My father is a major in the navy. He participated in the Manchurian Incident, fought in Shanghai and the Great Wall, and won the Imperial Golden Dove Assistant Medal. I have always admired him since I was a child, but this time is different. I have been honored by Jiang Tian.
I have been admitted to the Japanese Naval Academy. My wish is to be an excellent naval captain and let the sun flag of the Japanese Empire fly in every port in the world..."
Not to be outdone, Osaka's "Sankei Shimbun" interviewed a local grocery store owner. The grocery store owner said boldly: "I am a reserve officer. I have been looking forward to the call of His Majesty the Emperor. Although we are Osaka people in business,
It’s my hobby, but if the war needs me, I will hand over the business to my wife, and then take a boat to China to teach those dirty China pigs a lesson. I have already donated ten pieces of cloth and purchased 100,000 patriotic bonds!”
Under the agitated spirit of the whole people, if you want to have good newspaper sales, you can only keep up with the needs of readers. The Asahi Shimbun has also become an accomplice in advocating war. They expressed their views on the war through the mouth of a nurse:
"The hospital was only allocated one front-line quota. The nurses in the hospital rushed to sign up, rushed to the front line, and used practical actions to serve the empire and be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor. Some sisters even bit their fingers and swore an oath. As a result, I was lucky enough to be selected, my dear.
My neighbors and I are all proud of me!”
However, the headlines on the front pages of all newspapers today are reports that a young widow named Matsuo Kimiyoko had her breasts cut open on the spot during a memorial ceremony in the village for her husband who died in the war in Langfang, China.
He took his own heart out of his own belly and sacrificed himself as a husband, which made all "upright" Japanese people who love war deeply educated again. It is said that the Japanese Emperor Hirohito was extremely moved when he heard about this incident and issued an edict.
, set up a chastity arch for the martyred woman.
After such frequent agitation, the enthusiasm of the Japanese people for war was unprecedentedly high. The Communist cabinet and the military were deeply encouraged, and they once again issued an order to expand the army by twenty divisions. The entire Communist Party was rapidly moving towards the war track.
