Chapter 265 We only have one position

Lin Zixuan felt heavy when he arrived at home.

At this time, the public concession had entered a state of martial law, the protesters were dispersed, and the policemen were patrolling everywhere with guns and ammunition.

This is the scene he saw when he came. He sat in the study and wanted to write something.

For example, "A real warrior dares to face the bleak life, dares to face the blood that is dripping in silence, but will perish in silence."

He picked up the pen and put it down.

He is not Lu Xun, and he cannot write such sentences, nor is he willing to write them like this.

People cannot be resurrected when they die, the only thing they can do is not forget it.

Lin Zixuan picked up the phone and called Pingqianya, asking reporters under the Vientiane Book Company to inquire about the list of people who were shot to death today, and publish them in tomorrow's newspaper to hold condolences.

It is best to find out their details, including their hometown and relatives.

Keep this information and put it in the yearbook of 1925, even in later generations, it can be found for people to check it out.

He asked his newspapers and radio stations to broadcast the news to protest the massacre of civilians by the public concession authorities.

After doing all this, he breathed a little relieved. This matter has just begun and there will be a bigger storm tomorrow.

Compared to newspapers that require layout and printing, broadcasting and disseminating messages is much faster. Want to read books?

Vientiane Radio was the first media to spread the tragedy that was born on Nanjing Road. The radio covers the entire Shanghai and even radiates to many areas around Shanghai.

At 6 pm on May, two hours after the tragedy, thousands of listeners received news about the tragedy from the radio.

Many people couldn't believe it and called Vientiane Bookstore to inquire about the situation.

That night, countless people couldn't fall asleep.

Lin Zixuan received calls from many friends in the cultural and newspaper circles, discussing each other what tone to report on this matter.

Most newspapers in Shanghai are concentrated in the public concession. Although there is freedom of speech in reporting, it is relatively free. Once the interests of the public concession authorities are involved, they must be treated with caution. Otherwise, they will face the risk of being sealed.

The Wanxiang Bookstore is located in the French Concession and may be able to avoid being sealed, but who knows that Westerners have always advanced and retreated together.

Lin Zixuan's attitude is very clear about what to use.

That is to strongly protest and condemn the crimes of the public concession authorities, and we must show the tough attitude of the Chinese media.

At this moment, there is no distinction between parties and interests, we are all Chinese. We can only have one position and must not be divided and disintegrated.

He didn't know how many people he could influence, he just did his best.

In Shanghai, many newspapers have foreign investment backgrounds.

For example, the major shareholder of the Newspaper is an American, and it is inevitable that it has tendencies when reporting.

Lin Zixuan came from later generations and knew the importance of public opinion and propaganda. Since things have already happened, he could only unite and continue to fight.

On May 31, most Chinese newspapers in Shanghai reported the tragedy. Some weekly newspapers even published extras and special issues.

Foreign-language newspapers said this was an incident in which the Chinese were hostile to foreign expatriates and requested to send troops into the concession to protect the safety of expatriates.

In the report, the Beihua Jiebao said: "It should be ordered" that those students involved in this incident "return to their classrooms to engage in serious things that young people who are not rich in feathers should do."

This newspaper is the earliest English-language newspaper in Shanghai.

The newspapers stand politically on the standpoint of British businessmen in China, and their news and remarks reflect the interests of British businessmen in China.

At 3 pm on the 31st, thousands of students, workers and small businessmen gathered at the Shanghai General Chamber of Commerce to hold a joint meeting from all walks of life, unanimously urging the General Chamber of Commerce to issue a market strike order.

After emergency consultations, at 7 pm, Fang Jiaobo, vice president of the General Chamber of Commerce, signed the general strike order.

When reporting on the talks, the North China Jiebao used the title like this: "The Chinese Chamber of Commerce requires a list; extremists are in full power; unacceptable suggestions; no discussion can be conducted on this basis."

It demonstrated the tough stance of the public concession authorities and was completely unwilling to apologize and negotiate.

On June 1, the public concession authorities announced martial law in the concession, prohibiting student gatherings and speeches.

They also requested the foreign consulate to establish a 2,000-person 6 troops to protect various public facilities, declare a state of emergency, mobilize and convene Shanghai's "Wanguo Business Group".

This force began to be formed in the 1850s.

By 1925, the "Wanguo Business Group" had about 2,000 civilians of different nationalities, of which the British diaspora accounted for the vast majority. They were all provided by the United Kingdom and were commanded by active British officers.

On June 1, workers, students and citizens gathered on Nanjing Road to scatter leaflets and were shot by police while giving a speech.

On June 2, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau's Wanguo Business Group fired pedestrians and tourists with machine guns at the New World Amusement Park, creating the third bloodshed. In just a few days, dozens of Chinese people have been shot and killed.

By June 4, all loaders and unloaders had left the dock, and all the servants from foreign clubs and hotels had left.

More than 74,000 workers went on strike in the public concession alone.

The situation in the Shanghai Public Concession was in a terrifying atmosphere, with foreign soldiers holding guns everywhere on the streets, and any extraordinary actions would be ruthlessly shot.

Strikes, class strikes and market strikes have made Shanghai look like a ghost town.

At this time, Lin Zixuan was in trouble.

On June 4, the French Concession police seized the Vientiane Radio Station and the Vientiane Bookstore.

Two days ago, Lin Zixuan received a warning that it was not allowed to broadcast reports that were not conducive to the concession authorities on the radio. Compared with newspapers that still need to be purchased, it is more convenient to receive the radio.

As long as there is a radio, the latest news can be heard in every corner of Shanghai.

Lin Zixuan has opened a hotline, and everyone can pass the message to the Vientiane Bookstore by phone, and then broadcast it out by the radio. The information on Vientiane Radio Station is the most accurate and fast.

This caused great dissatisfaction among the public concession authorities, and many foreigners have the habit of listening to the radio.

They put pressure on the French Concession Public Board to seal off radio stations and bookstores on charges of inciting and undermining public orders in the Concession.

Lin Zixuan had long expected this. Although the French did not participate, they were consistent with the interests of Britain, the United States and other countries.

This strike caused great losses to foreign factories, including their daily lives.

The strike of Chinese servants made Westerners' lives a mess. They hated this chaos and wanted to end as soon as possible.

However, the public concession authorities have always adopted a tough stance, with the attitudes of the United States, Britain and Japan being the most determined.

They dispatched warships from all over the place to Shanghai. The United States not only has the strongest troops in Shanghai, but also the most warships. When the crisis reached a high level, there were a total of 33 foreign ships in Shanghai.

At the same time, the chaos caused by the May 30th Massacre is spreading everywhere, and all parts of the country are supporting Shanghai.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Beiyang Government mediated with ministers from various countries to investigate the truth.
