Rebirth of the Military Industry Power of the Anti-Japanese War

"You are right, General, but I'm afraid not many people can have such courage?" Snow sighed after hearing this, and then asked the next question, "You said earlier that you were a militia group killing civilians, which provoked

Did you lead the crowd to resist and join the Red Army out of anger?"

"That's right, and not only me, almost all the generals in the Red Army are peace-loving, but in the face of the butcher knife wielded by the opposition, we have to take up arms to fight." Hu Weidong sighed, no matter what,

Compatriots killing each other is never a pleasant thing.

"I remembered a Chinese saying, which is called 'the government forces the people to rebel'. Is this probably what you are referring to?" Snow continued to ask while recording.

"Yes, if all the people in China can live and work in peace and contentment, who will rebel when they have enough to eat and nothing to do?" Hu Weidong said with a bitter smile.

"Can this sentence also be applied to your attitude towards the Japanese?" Snow followed the words and suddenly asked a more pointed question.

"Of course it is different. Our party's attitude and assumptions about the war of resistance are all written in it. You can see for yourself." After entering Tianjin, Hu Weidong took out a copy of "On Opposing Japanese Imperialism" and prepared it for the Red Army to distribute throughout the city.

"Strategy" was handed to Snow and then said, "If there are any details that are not mentioned in it, Mr. Snow, you can ask them. As long as they do not involve military secrets, we will tell you everything we know."

"On the Strategy of Opposing Japanese Imperialism" was a speech delivered by a great man at the Wayaobao Conference. Due to the blockade of the Nanjing government, people in the White Area have not had the opportunity to read this article until now.

It is an important article on the thought of "war", and Snow was lucky enough to be the first foreigner to read this article because of this uninvited interview. This article is not long, and with the professional qualities of a reporter, Snow is very

He quickly browsed through it briefly. Although it was only a cursory glance, he was already deeply shocked. He had long been interested in visiting the Soviet area, and this further strengthened his determination to risk going to Yan'an.

Although he admired Mr. Mao whom he had never met after reading the article, as a reporter, Snow still had to ask the same question, "General Hu, when you say you want to drive the Japanese out of China, what is the scope of this?"

?Including the three northeastern provinces?”

"Of course, we must regain not only the three eastern provinces, but also Taiwan, Penghu, Diaoyu Islands and their affiliated lands lost by the former Qing Dynasty." Hu Weidong replied forcefully.

Snow thought for a while and said frankly, "With all due respect, at least in theory, it is possible to recapture the three northeastern provinces. After all, they are on land, but Taiwan is impossible to recapture without a strong navy. Even now, even the Soviet Union

The Red Navy is no match for the Japanese Combined Fleet, let alone China. Are you planning to land on the Japanese island in a small wooden boat? It is necessary to boost the people's confidence, but if the words are made too big, it will not be achieved by then.

The people will be disappointed and doubt everything you promised, and then the gains will outweigh the losses..."

"The Sino-Japanese War is not an isolated war, limited to a regional war between China and Japan, but the beginning of the world anti-fascist war. As the situation develops, great powers including your country may fight side by side with us, China.

The Chinese navy is not good, but what about your country?" Hu Weidong smiled confidently, "What's more, even if we fight alone, we can still achieve final victory. Japan's economy is deformed and fragile. Once the war suffers continuous setbacks, its internal contradictions will accumulate.

It will intensify quickly, and a revolution will break out in Japan one day..."

After hearing this, Snow suddenly became enlightened and admired Hu Weidong's foresight even more.

And Hu Weidong would not be stubborn. After expressing the Red Party members' attitude and confidence in the war against Japan, he suddenly stood up and said to Snow sincerely. "We have always adhered to the stance of self-reliance, but we also

We also need help from international friends.”,….

Upon hearing this, Snow immediately said, "As long as I can do it, please feel free to speak."

"In order to build a strong industry necessary for the Anti-Japanese War, we need a large number of scientific and technological talents. Mr. Snow, you are a lecturer at Yanjing University. If possible, please help persuade teachers and students from Peking University majoring in science and engineering to go to Luoyang to see the progress of China's industrialization.

I hope... As for liberal arts, if they are not afraid of hardship, our Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region will also welcome them..." Hu Weidong explained seriously.

Snow smiled when he heard this, "Although Nanjing has been blocking news, the industrial zone you built in Luoyang is already known to everyone in the major universities in Peking. There are many young people, even famous ones, without my persuasion.

Experts and scholars want to go there, and even I, a liberal arts major, want to see it with my own eyes after this interview."

"It seems that asking those experts to write letters has indeed achieved results. In this case, it is better to ask Mr. Snow to help guide those educated youth and experts to the Soviet area. After all, he is a real American. The government's spies and even the Japanese generally do not dare to

What to do to him is much safer than doing it with our people." After thinking for a while, Hu Weidong communicated his thoughts with Snow.

Snow readily agreed upon hearing this, and immediately agreed to establish contact with the underground party organization in Peiping, and even offered to set up a radio station in his home. Even though the Snows and his wife were American citizens, doing so was actually somewhat dangerous. After all, whether it was the Kuomintang or the Kuomintang,

They were all Japanese spies who liked to carry out assassinations. However, Snow was willing to take risks for the sake of justice after his first contact with the Red Army. This really moved Hu Weidong. However, regarding Snow's intention to visit Luoyang, Hu Weidong

But he expressed his opinion, "Mr. Snow, if you want to understand the real source of the development and growth of our Red Army, it is best to go to Yan'an first (the Red Army has not yet occupied Yan'an at this time in history, so Snow went to security, but this

The Space-Time Red Army is much stronger and had captured Yan'an long before the Eastern Expedition.), but the conditions there are much worse than in Luoyang, and the road is more dangerous..."

"Then let's go to Yan'an first. I've seen your magical general, but I've only heard about Mr. Mao." Snow had experienced hardships in his previous career as a journalist, so naturally he would not take this risk seriously.

Taking it to heart, I immediately adopted Hu Weidong's suggestion.

Snow's trip to Yan'an was arranged by comrades on the secret front. Hu Weidong did not go in-depth and made a second request to Snow. After all, although he had traded with Bell once before, compared with the profit-seeking British guy,

, Snow is obviously more trustworthy...
