Respectfully

"Movie?"

"To be more precise, should it be a documentary?" Li Jinyan thought about it carefully and said, "For example, the young marshal holds a military parade, which is a good subject for shooting."

Publicity is important.

Goebbels, a die-hard supporter of Hitler and the Minister of Propaganda of the Third Reich, once said that power and propaganda are inseparable.This man, known as the "genius of propaganda", made great contributions to Hitler's control of German power.Hitler's success is also inseparable from his own passionate and provocative speeches.

Roosevelt's fireside chats, Churchill's congressional speeches, and Stalin's Red Square military parade all demonstrate the great role of "propaganda".

The development of the country and the prosperity of the nation are not just about working hard.Newspaper reports are one aspect. Speeches are more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but the impact of images is even more astonishing.

The more Li Jinyan talked, the more he couldn't stop, and the thoughts in his mind became clearer. He remembered that during the First World War, both the Allies and the Entente Powers had filmed images on the battlefield, but they were limited to actual "records", such as the footage of a battle. Success, the surrender of captives, the spectacle of the infantry charge, and the rain of bullets from the trenches.

Even after a century, these precious images can still bring an indescribable visual impact to the viewers.

"I will consider."

The simple four words made Li Jinyan happy to see his teeth but not his eyes.It's not easy, he thought that Marshal Lou would directly refuse.

"Then I will start preparations in the next year." Li Jinyan counted his fingers. Nowadays, most of the domestic movie theaters are opened by foreigners, and there are basically no film companies, and all the movies are shown.At the end of last year, Shanghai opened the first Chinese-run film studio, and the first film has not yet started shooting.

The cinema in Guanbei City is also run by Jews. If he wants to develop in this area, he still has to deal with foreigners.Moreover, Li Jinyan is really not interested in silent films. He remembers that in the era of Ruan Lingyu and Hu Die, Huaxia had already started shooting sound films. Based on this calculation, the appearance of sound films in foreign countries should be earlier, and it can be pushed forward to the 20s. .It should have been invented earlier.

If he remembers correctly, Edison should have invented sound movies. Although he spared no effort in suppressing his opponents, he was as ruthless as the autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves. For example, Tesla, who invented alternating current, was suppressed miserably by Edison.But his contribution to creation and invention is enough to be called the wealth of all mankind.

I don’t know if Edison’s laboratory has invented the sound film at this time, maybe he should ask the intelligence personnel in the United States to inquire specifically, and then send a few telegrams to Minister Tao of the Ministry of Education, asking if there are any such students among the foreign students studying in the United States. aspects of talent.

Young Marshal Lou thinks deeper than Li Jinyan. Li Jinyan just wants the soldiers in Guanbei to have a grand military parade to show off their military power, but Young Marshal Lou thinks that this military parade should be held in the capital.

The "protagonist" of the movie should not be him, but the president and various important officials in the government, such as Sima Jun and Song Zhou.

Politics is the product of compromise, and the establishment of a coalition government is, in the final analysis, the result of compromise between various forces.The six northern provinces are strong, with their current strength, they can imitate King Qin and sweep Liuhe, but neither Lou Shengfeng nor Lou Xiao are willing to do so.

If it is not a last resort, the gun should not be pointed at one's own people.The civil war will lead to continuous internal friction in China, and in the end it will only be cheaper to those powers that have been eyeing China, even Japan.

Japan has been weakened, and they must not be allowed to take a breather and bite China back!The desire to expand the territory of this ambitious island country has never disappeared.Only by being stronger and more ruthless than it can these foolish delusions come to naught.

"Young Marshal, do you have any suitable candidates for the manager of the film company? There is also the western medicine factory, and we need to add more people."

The three soldiers who are the workshop directors of the western medicine factory can stand alone now.Li Jinyan plans to open two branch factories in March to expand the production of existing medicines and add new varieties. These medicines will become in short supply after the start of World War I, which can help him earn a lot of money.

Ding Zhao's research on tear gas is close to success, and his assistant is also developing a gas mask. Although it looks ugly, the anti-gas effect is very good.

There were no weapons restriction regulations in this era. The Allies and Allies in World War I used poisonous gas in large quantities. Before gas masks appeared, many soldiers covered their heads with coats and covered their heads like wild boars when encountering poisonous gas attacks. Only by being buried in the soft soil did he manage to save his life.

This approach was rendered futile when the king of poisonous gases, mustard gas, appeared.

During World War I, the belligerent countries produced and used different types of gas bombs. During World War II, when international conventions explicitly prohibited the use of gas bombs, the Japanese army still used a large number of so-called "special bombs" in China. Northeast China, Songhu On the battlefield, the Xuzhou battlefield, tens of thousands of Chinese soldiers and civilians died under the poisonous gas.The Japanese scorpion will not tell you about international conventions.

Only when China masters the relevant technology ahead of Japan can Japan be prevented from using the mouse and prevent such tragedies from happening again.

Ding Zhao not only studied tear gas, but also studied chlorine gas and mustard gas.

Li Jinyan saw his experimental records in the laboratory, only to realize how terrifying this man is.

He can develop penicillin to relieve people's pain, and he can also produce poison gas that can easily kill people.Compared with Ding Zhao, Qiao Leshan can be described as "pure and good", of course, this is only in relative terms.After all, for people like Kawaguchi Reiichi and Kawaguchi Koko who have seen the other side of Qiao Leshan, he is no different from the devil in hell.

In addition to the two branch factories, Li Jinyan plans to build another factory dedicated to the production of the things and gas masks researched by Ding Zhao.The factory itself will no longer interfere, and all will be handed over to Young Marshal Lou.He believes that as a young man like Lou, he will never abuse this weapon, but it is necessary to properly teach some things that are not human.

This is an era when force is used to determine everything. If you feel sorry for others, others may not return the same kindness to you.

During the Great Kanto Earthquake in Japan, China donated money and materials, but what did the Japanese return to China?Invasion, massacre.

"One more thing," Li Jinyan said after careful consideration, "I asked Xiao Youde to kidnap four people from the United States."

"who?"

Li Jinyan's expression was a little embarrassed, "Four liars."

"……"fraud?

"Young commander, actually there is a reason why I did this..."

In fact, if they chose to cooperate obediently when intelligence agents came to the door, they would not be kidnapped.However, they mistook the intelligence personnel for the Huaxia gangsters and carried out a "desperate resistance". Therefore, the intelligence personnel who came to visit had to take extraordinary measures.

As for how to bring four gangsters onto the ship... In this era of America, with money, anything is possible.

After seeing the telegram sent back from the United States, Li Jinyan vaguely remembered that the Chinese gangs abroad are quite powerful, especially in Southeast Asia and the United States.Mr. Situ, the leader of overseas Chinese in the United States, Hongmenzhigongtang, is a well-known name in later generations.In another time and space, the father of the nation, who has been defeated and fought repeatedly, was once one of them.

If you can establish contact with these people, it will be much easier to obtain foreign intelligence.

However, Li Jinyan is a human being rather than a god, and human energy is always limited. At present, most of his energy has to be put on the establishment of the European Trade Point and these four crooks. As for other matters, he can only postpone them temporarily.

As for handing over to Young Marshal Lou... After all, gangs are also gangsters. It is really hard for Li Jinyan to imagine that Young Marshal Lou, who was educated in a regular military academy, would be called a big boss.

"Young commander, it is really useful for me to bring these four people here. I will probably rely on them for many things in the United States and Europe in the future."

These liars are definitely "all about money" and "life-saving" guys. As long as the method is right, these four people will become very good cards in his hand, just like Ned.

Young Marshal Lou nodded and did not continue to ask questions.

Capital

President Lou Da received the telegram from Young Marshal Lou, sat in his office and thought for a while, then sent someone to invite Zhan Changqing over.

Due to the sudden serious illness of the Prime Minister of the State, Zhan Changqing, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, temporarily served as the Acting Prime Minister. Things suddenly became more and more, and there was no time to go to Bai Baoqi to drink tea and play chess. The spring breeze is blowing.

Compared with President Bai's bright and bright mood, Minister Zhan's mood was not so bright, especially when President Lou Da showed him the telegram sent by Guan Bei, Zhan Changqing almost threw the table.

He is the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and he is also the Prime Minister. Why should the work of the Minister of Propaganda be pushed on him?

Able people should do more work?

This is labor exploitation!The evil ruling class!

"Brother-in-law, have you become angry recently?" President Lou Da expressed concern, "Don't be so angry, calm down, calm down."

Zhan Changqing: "..." He suspected that the former Prime Minister was not sick, but was mad at the president.

In the end, Zhan Changqing pushed the matter to Zhou Bingxun, the Minister of Propaganda. He knew that Zhou Bingxun was from the southern government, and the deputy director of the Propaganda Department was an official from the northern government. It was just that his wrist was always missing, and he was basically suppressed. I lost my temper.This person is capable, but he has always held prejudices against Lou Shengfeng. He even publicly said that the coalition government appears to be republican, but is actually following the old path of dictatorship. He would not be surprised if Lou Shengfeng wanted to restore himself as emperor one day.

Due to various reasons, President Lou Da couldn't easily fire him, he could only let him continue to disgust himself there.

When the emperor?Be the Emperor of TNND!Did Lou Shengfeng fill his mind with grass?

"President, I can't interfere in this matter."

Zhan Changqing knew why President Lou Da abandoned Zhou Bingxun and handed over this matter to him directly. He also hated this person, but it was really inappropriate to do so.

There is no shortage of people like Zhou Bingxun anywhere, we have to guard against them and use them.The government cannot be a monopoly. If everyone sings praises, it will lead to more serious problems.Corruption, tyranny, no power checks and balances... power without checks, and those in power who can't listen to opposing opinions are very dangerous.

"Ok."

Lou Shengfeng still felt awkward, but it wasn't that he didn't listen to persuasion. Zhan Changqing said that if he insisted on going his own way, he might really be convinced.After all, let my brother-in-law be the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Prime Minister, and arrange my brother-in-law to be the head of the National Bank. Even if Zhan Changqing and Bai Baoqi are really capable, there are already rumors of cronyism in the government.

"I didn't think carefully about this matter." Lou Shengfeng frowned, maybe it was because he really had more power in his hands, which made him stop doing things like before.

Zhou Bingxun's words are annoying, but his actions are unequivocal.

After receiving the order from the President, the Propaganda Department immediately started running at high speed.Up to himself, down to the staff, all busy without touching the ground.When others thought that he would be obedient to the work arranged by President Lou Da, his actions really surprised many people.

"Ask me why?" Zhou Bingxun put down the report in his hand, and looked at the deputy chief with a complicated expression. Everyone in the Propaganda Department knew that Minister Zhou had prejudice against President Lou, but the deputy chief was a loyal supporter of the president.Many people have the same doubts about Minister Zhou's spared no effort to complete the work assigned by the President, but no one will ask around like the deputy minister.

Zhou Bingxun's answer was somewhat unexpected, but it was reasonable.

"I may disagree with some people, but I will not neglect business affairs, especially those that are in the interests of the country."

After hearing Zhou Bingxun's words, President Lou Da thought about it carefully, and by the way, reflected on himself, and concluded that Zhou Bingxun is a good person, and he will continue to use him, but he still hates him, especially his mouth.
