Beiyang reactionaries

Just talk about Wang Jingwei in history.When he was young, he was a revolutionary, and even left behind a famous saying that has been passed down through the ages, "If you draw a sword, you will be quick and live up to the youth's head".If Wang Jingwei died at that time, then Wang Jingwei would become a martyr admired by thousands of people just like Wen Tianxiang and others. In textbooks 100 years later, Wang Jingwei's status will be very high.

But what about the results?

Wang Jingwei became one of the most famous traitors in Chinese history.Even in most of the rankings, Wang Jingwei is a big traitor who can enter the top three in history.

This is not the case with Henri Pétain.

He is a hero of France.Especially during the First World War, Henri Pétain was a hero sought after by all France.When the First World War broke out, the 58-year-old Henri Pétain was just a small regiment commander, and he was inconspicuous in the French army.

But for some people, war is his opportunity, and they are born for war.

Henri Pétain performed well in the First World War. From a small colonel, he climbed all the way to the commander-in-chief of the French army in just four years and became the French marshal.Henry Petain's promotion speed made everyone unbelievable.Less than half a year after the outbreak of the First World War, he was promoted from regiment commander to army commander.Especially the victory in the Battle of Verdun brought Henri Pétain's prestige to its peak.At that time he was the biggest hero in France.

Henri Pétain went from a regiment commander to a French marshal and commander-in-chief of the French army in four years. It is conceivable how outstanding his performance in the war would be and how much he has contributed to France.

If he died like this, Henri Pétain would definitely be remembered by French history and become a great hero admired by everyone in France.

Pity.

Henri Pétain capitulated, founded Vichy France, and became a disgraced, reviled capitulator.It can be said that Henri Pétain is already out of luck.But now France has to follow in the footsteps of the Nazis in Germany and start dealing with the Jews.Even after the war, they will be sentenced for "crimes against humanity".

Surrendering and dealing with the Jews are not of the same nature at all.The former can be explained by helplessness, but the persecution of the Jews later is an act against humanity.

"Teacher, the French Jewish organization has also found us, hoping that we can transfer a group of people before the French do it."

"There are many Jews in France too?"

"Yes."

Liu Xiang nodded and said: "Not only a few, but many. When the Nazis persecuted Jews in China, especially preventing Jewish scientists from participating in teaching and experiments, many Jewish scientists left Germany at that time. But most of them did not leave Europe. Most of them stayed in Europe. Among them, the most fled Germany and went to France, Britain, Sweden, and Denmark. But no one expected that Germany would sweep across the European continent and occupy France and Denmark one after another. Although Sweden is Remain neutral, Germany did not occupy Sweden, but Sweden did not dare to resist Germany's request. Therefore, many Jewish scientists are currently trapped in Europe. For the more famous scientists who are currently trapped in France, Li Zhilong made a copy Statistics. Teacher, this is the list of Li Zhilong's statistics, take a look."

Liu Xiang took out a list.

Duan Xun scanned.

Many names are actually very unfamiliar. After all, Duan Xun is a political figure, and it is impossible to care about those scientists every day.Except for the really famous scientists, how could Duan Xun, a scientist in so many fields, know all about it.

But Liu Xiang and the others also knew this situation.

For example, if a secretary writes a speech for a leader, what he is most afraid of is writing some uncommon words and words that the leader cannot understand.If this kind of thing happens and makes the leader look ugly, then the secretary will be the end of the job.Therefore, when a secretary writes a document for the leader, once some uncommon words appear, he must either quickly change to an easily recognizable word, or remind the leader not to make a typo.

The same goes for Liu Xiang and the others.

Behind each name, their research results are carefully written, so that Duan Xun can understand intuitively.Duan Xun read it, but was really shocked.Originally, Duan Xun thought that after the Nazi purge, the top scientists in Europe would all run away.Unexpectedly, there are still so many top talents staying in France.

The first name is a Nobel laureate named Otto Mayerhoff, a very good physician and biochemist.He is currently stuck in Paris and cannot leave.Those behind him were all experts and professors in biology, chemistry, and physics.Some of them are still professors at some universities in France, and some were professors at universities in these countries in Germany, or researchers at certain research institutes.But after they fled to France, French universities did not offer positions.Therefore, there are not a few people who have a relatively difficult life.Some of them were of Jewish descent, and some were couples whose other spouse was of Jewish descent.There are more than 70 experts and professors in these natural sciences.

Further down are writers, artists, painters and so on.There are more than 100 people on this list.

Then down, there are some sociologists.For example, those who study law, politics, and philosophy are also quite a number, with more than 80 people.These former university professors, or researchers of certain institutions, and more famous talents, add up to nearly 300 people.

But it doesn't end there.

In the list provided by Liu Xiang, there are still many who are currently working as doctors and lawyers, and even though they are not university professors, they are also university lecturers, and the number is even greater.

There were too many people, so Duan Xun only took a cursory look, adding up to a list of more than 800 people.The list drawn up by Li Zhilong is all the talents that China needs.

"How many Jews are there in France now?"

"Currently there are more than 30 Jews in France."

"More than 30, that's really not a small amount. It seems that the French Jews are going to suffer a catastrophe. Tell Li Zhilong. The French Jews do need help now, but this matter has nothing to do with him. They don't want to come forward. I Let our embassies in France, Spain, and Italy come forward, plus our other agencies around Europe to help. We have so many convoys traveling between France, Italy, Spain, and Germany every day, and intercept some of them I don't think it's difficult to arrange some people to leave in those caravans. Let our embassy issue some visas and evacuate some people should not be a problem. Li Zhilong and the others should not get involved in this matter, their task is this List, these people are his task. I need Li Zhilong to take them all out of Europe safely."

It might be heartless, but that's the reality.

Duan Xun asked Li Zhilong to go to Europe just to attract talents, not to help those Jews.With so many Jews, only a few can be helped. This is Duan Xun's compassion.If you can't help, Duan Xun has nothing to do.It is good to help out within the scope of one's ability.Duan Xun is not God, he can control everyone.For Duan Xun, those talents are what China needs.

Good steel should be used in weapons.

Li Zhilong and the others will use it on the most important people.Originally, Duan Xun asked Li Zhilong to go to Europe to deploy, so that he was going to take away the scientists in Germany.I just didn't expect so many Jewish scientists to be introduced at this time.

"Yes."

"Also, we have the conditions now. Once these people come to our country, we must arrange them well. For those top scientists, we must give them the best treatment and the highest etiquette. Tell our students to follow up with These people learn. How much they can learn depends on their own abilities."

"Yes."

"Teacher, Japan and the United States fought another battle at Midway Island."

After signing the "China-Thailand Friendship Treaty" and a series of other treaties, China began to step up the construction of Vientiane City.A large amount of supplies poured into Vientiane City, and troops also began to station in Vientiane City.

Of course, to take advantage of the Mekong, China started building a port on the Lancang River in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan.The purpose of this port is very simple, let him become a transit point for China to enter the Mekong River.

According to the treaty, the army unit stationed in Vientiane City is a brigade.It was said to be a brigade, but what Duan Xun sent to Vientiane City was a strengthened brigade with more than [-] troops.It is an elite unit transferred from the Southwest Military Region, a real mechanized unit.The weapons and equipment and the level of training are the number one troops in the Southwest Military Region.Moreover, in order to adapt to operations in Nanyang, the troops are still training for mountain operations.Since the signing of the treaty, this force has been transferred to Vientiane City one after another.

The construction of Vientiane City is really in full swing.

Because there are so many things to build.First of all, the Wharf of Vientiane City must be expanded, after all, it will become the trade center and material center of the Mekong River in the future.There will be a large number of cargo ships docking every day, of course to expand.

Afterwards, the Vientiane City itself will also be expanded.

Because MIXC becomes a material center, it must build a large-scale material distribution market.And on the outskirts of Vientiane City, military camps have also begun to be built.After all, it will become China's largest military base on the Mekong River in the future.

The entire Vientiane City is bustling with activity.

Vichy France immediately protested that China and Thailand regard Vientiane City as the headquarters of the joint Mekong army.

Although Vichy France handed over French Indochina to Japan, Japan did not directly occupy the place.In other words, Vichy France only let Japan use this place, and did not completely hand over the administrative power here to Japan.Of course, Vichy France is also very knowledgeable, knowing that it is the defeated country of Germany, and it is not Japan's opponent in the Far East.So there is no confidence in the face of Japan, and Japan will give whatever it wants.

So they gave up most of the place to Japanese control.

But Vientiane City is controlled by the French.But Duan Xun did not notify Vichy France at all, and directly signed a contract with Thailand, and then signed a material agreement with Japan.As long as Japan agrees to this matter, China will use the Mekong River to support the logistics of the Japanese army.

Japan certainly agrees.

Now that the Burma campaign is in full swing, the Japanese army's logistical problems are very serious.If you can get the support of China, especially the use of the Mekong River to transport materials, then the materials can go directly to Thailand.Use roads from Thailand to enter Myanmar.It is much more convenient than Japan's own transportation.

Of course, Japan also sees what China wants to do.

But for Japan, it is most important to solve the British and Indian troops entrenched in Myanmar.As long as the British and Indian troops are resolved, Japan will truly achieve its goal in Southeast Asia.Therefore, in order to solve the British and Indian troops, Japan can only choose to retreat in many respects.

Vichy France was not happy.

But it's useless to be unhappy, Duan Xun doesn't care about their attitude at all.Don't say that it is Vichy France now, even if France did not surrender, Duan Xun was not afraid of the French in the Far East.So Duan Xun is continuing to promote the construction of Vientiane.

At the same time, Li Zhilong in Europe has already started to act.
