"Mr. Tang, my name is Zhao Changxin, and I am a student in the Chemistry Department of Chongqing University. What you just said is nothing more than saying that student demonstrations will cause riots. But I want to say that the riots were not caused by student demonstrations. If there were not those who deliberately caused riots, People, the student parade is just an ordinary rally!" A male student with a slightly darker complexion spoke first, but his speech made Tang Cheng slightly disappointed.
The reason why Tang Cheng said that before was to remind these student representatives to guard against someone using the student demonstration to cause trouble. Listening to Zhao Changxin's speech now, it was obvious that he did not take Tang Cheng's reminder to heart. "Sir Tang, we organized the student demonstration just to awaken the patriotism of the people. The Japanese have occupied the three northeastern provinces and are now provoking war in Peiping. Their ambitions are obvious. If we cannot unite and actively resist, Maybe our country and home will be gone.”
The student representative who spoke after Zhao Changxin was a girl. Just by looking at the ladies' watch she wore on her wrist, Tang Cheng knew that this girl's family must not be simple. "I have just said that I am not opposed to student demonstrations. But if there is a better way to achieve the goal, why use a more dangerous method like a demonstration? You should understand that what I said before, It’s not impossible that it could become a reality.”
After the other two spoke one after another, Tang Cheng did not choose to back down, but continued to stick to his previous views. "Your ideas are good, there is no doubt about that, but the way you express your ideas, I don't really agree with." Seeing that some of the student representatives seemed to have something to say, Tang Cheng paused. , indicating to the other party to speak first. The student representative who stood up originally had something to say, but when he saw Tang Cheng taking out a cigarette and lighting it up with a leisurely look on his face, he suddenly said the words as he reached his lips.
"See, this is your problem!" Tang Cheng pointed at the student representative whose face was red from holding back a cigarette and laughed. "Look, I gave you the opportunity to make your voice heard, but you were unprepared and got stuck when things happened. I'm not as good as you when it comes to learning, but when it comes to my ability to make things happen, I'll tie you all together." , but he is not my opponent." As he spoke, Tang Cheng raised his left hand that had been hanging by his side, holding a pistol in his hand.
"Your classmate suddenly became speechless just now. It's not that he didn't organize his words and thoughts in advance, but that when he was about to speak, he saw the pistol in my hand. Your classmate is very Smart, he is worried that his words will offend me, and that I will use extraordinary measures against you when I am angry. Therefore, he would rather be thought that he backed down on the spot, rather than anger me with his words and be implicated. A few of you."
Tang Cheng's words made the male student who had stood up but said nothing blush again, but this time the reason for his blush was because of everyone's gaze and the complacency in his heart. After these student representatives looked at each other and cleared up their suspicions, Tang Cheng continued, "You have said before that the Japanese are ambitious, so can we boldly imagine that their goals are probably not the same? Not just to annex the north, but to capture the whole of China."
Tangcheng's idea was like a heavy hammer hitting everyone's heart, because no one had ever made such an idea before. "Isn't this... unlikely?" The male student who blushed twice just said hesitantly, "Although the Japanese army is fierce, Japan is only a small island country after all. Although China's military strength is not as good as Japan's, after all, it has a vast land and abundant resources. Japan can be exhausted even if it is exhausted."
This person's words may have been unintentional, but Tang Cheng's eyes lit up, and he thought that there was finally someone who understood. "I agree with what you said, but the problem is that in the early stage of the war, our side will definitely not be able to defeat the Japanese army. There are no other reasons. First, the military strength is not as good as the Japanese army, but the industrial base is not as good as Japan. Modern war is not fought The number of people depends on the weapons, equipment and logistics. Without a sufficient industrial base as a foundation, our weapons and equipment will always be weaker than the Japanese army."
The topic of discussion suddenly shifted from the student parade to the comparison of military power. Tangcheng had always taken the initiative in the topic, but soon, among the student representatives whose understanding ability had obviously failed to keep up, someone suddenly came to their senses. "Mr. Tang, we are talking about the student demonstration. Why are you telling us about the comparison of military strength now? Are the two related?" A girl with long braids looked at Tang Cheng with an indignant expression, and asked loudly. The round eyes exuded a sense of anger.
"Of course this is related!" Tang Cheng, who was stared at, responded nonchalantly with a blank stare. "You are all students and the future of this country. Compared with ordinary people who are illiterate, your ability to accept is the best. It is a good thing that you are patriotic, but I suggest that you should not spend all your energy and time on it. It’s wasted on things like organizing parades. If I were you, I would change my patriotism in another form, such as arming myself with what I have learned.”
"Soldiers fight, students study, everyone has different division of labor, but the ultimate goal is to make the country prosperous and strong." Tang Cheng's words at this moment sounded a bit unreasonable, but at this moment, some of the student representatives already vaguely understood Tang Cheng the meaning of. "Our army's weapons and equipment are weak. Once the war expands, our army may not be able to withstand the Japanese attack. After all, individual bravery will not play a big role in the war."
"Compared to those recruits who are recruited from strong men, you educated students are far better than them in terms of obedience and ability to accept new things. Many branches of the military, such as pilots, artillery, Illiterate recruits cannot do special forces such as chariot drivers. If I were you, I should use all means and time to exercise and improve personal physical fitness. Only when we muster our national strength to fully defend against the enemy can we truly achieve this. Your personal worth.”
At this point in Tang Cheng's words, the student representatives present truly understood what Tang Cheng meant. After carefully recalling what Tang Cheng said, even the student representatives who wanted to argue with Tang Cheng could not say anything because they could not find anything wrong with Tang Cheng's words. "The garrison regiment participated in the two severe crackdowns in the city. If you want to participate in military training, I can ask the garrison regiment to send military instructors to train you. Although I cannot train you into elites, you will still be stronger. Ordinary ordinary soldiers.”
"And I think you have other strengths and advantages. For example, the student Zhao who spoke before, Zhao majored in chemistry. I met a foreigner in Nanjing. According to him, during World War I, there was a A German company was trapped in a position. When they were independent and helpless, the three university students in the company used the knowledge they had learned to make homemade weapons and chemicals using various inconspicuous things and some chemicals. The poison was used to withstand several enemy attacks."
"I'm not suggesting that Mr. Zhao also make poison, but if what you learned can contribute to the war, why not do it! Our opponents are the ambitious Japanese. If one more Japanese soldier dies, I The army will probably avoid the loss of one or even several soldiers. You should understand whether it is right or wrong." Tang Cheng's words became more and more inflammatory. While several veteran police officers present were secretly frightened, the student representatives But they had already started talking in low voices.
Tang Cheng did not interrupt the low-pitched discussion of the student representatives, but lit up a cigarette and started smoking, "You have seen it, these students are too easy to be deceived. What I just said, you have experienced Adults living in society will naturally feel something is wrong. But when you look at them, they are obviously interested in another aspect, so I say that to deal with them, it is better to block them than to block them. If you can't stop them, you can only channel them, otherwise it will be very serious. trouble!"
Tang Cheng turned his head and whispered to Zhao Dashan who was standing behind him. The latter initially disagreed, but after seeing the performance of these student representatives at this moment, Zhao Dashan was secretly amazed. The Chongqing underground party was naturally present in this student demonstration. However, after hearing what Tang Cheng said just now, Zhao Dashan was very hesitant. He vaguely felt that what Tang Cheng said was not necessarily unreasonable.
Tang Cheng did not believe that just one meeting could convince the students to cancel the march. His words tonight alone had already planted a thread in the hearts of these student representatives. If you continue to think along this thread, you will find that the purpose of what Tang Cheng said to the student representatives tonight is to enable these students who do not understand society and war to be mentally prepared in advance. As for what these student representatives will do after they return, that is not something Tangcheng needs to worry about.
The student demonstrations that Wang Bingzhang had been worried about did not appear in the end. The students who were originally planning to hold a city-wide demonstration formed a group called the Student Union. A few days later, the city government received a joint signature from this student union. a proposal. "Brother Tang, you are more capable!" When Wang Bingzhang appeared in the backyard of the military camp again, the previous hesitation had dissipated, "If you hadn't come to help me this time, brother, I would have been in trouble this time!"
"The students' intentions are good after all, but their methods are a little inappropriate! This is not a big deal! But what are you going to do about the student initiative letter? If this matter is not handled well, the consequences will also be very troublesome. Don't underestimate these students. If they make a fuss, it will give you a headache!" Tang Cheng laughed happily because everything was going according to his previous thoughts.
