Chapter 221 Excuse me, what is your name?
On the third day, Pingshun will welcome a group of special guests.
Zhao Gang and Jia Guier lined up at the gate of Pingshun City to welcome them.
A convoy of more than ten trucks slowly stopped outside Pingshun City. Zhao Gang hurriedly went forward and opened the door.
"Thank you for your hard work, professors. I am Zhao Gang, the political commissar of the Jinnan Independent Column of the Eighth Route Army! On behalf of the people of Pingshun and all the officers and soldiers of the Independent Column, I welcome you all!"
As they were talking, the professors, who were already skinny as bones, got out of the car.
The professors looked at Pingshun, whose mental state was completely different, and the soldiers of the independent column, and they were all full of curiosity about this emerging city.
"Political Commissar Zhao Gang, forgive me for being blunt, although Pingshun is a small county town, it seems to have a different power in my opinion, and this power seems to be hope!"
The person who spoke was Zhou Xuezhan, Dean of the School of Literature at Yenching University.
Zhou Xuezhan graduated from the Department of Education at Columbia University and obtained his doctorate degree. He immediately returned to China to serve his motherland.
After the "July 7 Incident", Zhou Xuechang and the teachers and students of Yenching University overcame all difficulties and established a school on the original site of Yenching University, which became an island of freedom under the rule of the Japanese devils.
But this made the Japanese very unhappy. The Japanese military police rushed into Yenching University and arrested Zhou Xuechang and progressive teachers and students and put them in prison.
Later, after mediation, although some teachers and students were released, they were still monitored and persecuted by the Japanese.
These teachers and students from Yenching University and Fu Jen Catholic University are the treasures exchanged for the corpse of the Japanese devil Qing Sanpu.
Among them, there are 10 professors from Yenching University: Lu Zhiwei, Zhou Xuezhang, Zhang Dongsun, Zhao Zichen, Hong Ye, Deng Zhicheng, Zhao Chengxin, Cai Yizhen, Lin Jiatong, and Hou Renzhi.
There are 8 professors from Fu Jen Catholic University, including Ying Qianli, Zhang Huai, Dong Xifan, Fu Kaipeng, Hu Lushi, Zhao Xiyu, and Xu Ganquan.
These professors include not only talents in political science and education, but also experts in practical sciences such as accounting.
Wang Meng rescued them in the first place in order to enrich Pingshun University. If these talents can stay at Pingshun University, it will definitely make Pingshun University comparable to first-class universities such as Yenching University and Zhejiang University.
Moreover, with the addition of these professors, are we still afraid that we will not be able to attract other knowledgeable people to join us?
I'm afraid this snowball will get bigger and bigger!
Zhao Gang looked at the skinny Zhou Xuezhan and couldn't help choking up.
"Professor Zhou, I am also a student of Yenching University. I once listened to your "Education". At that time, you were full of vigor and vitality, but now..."
Zhou Xuezhan didn't expect that he could still see his students in this small county town.
"Alas, my memory has become worse over the years. Forgive me for not being able to remember what you look like. Anyway, thank you for rescuing us!"
Zhao Gang rubbed his eyes, looked at the professors in front of him who looked a little haggard, and said emotionally:
"Dear professors, it was indeed the Independent Column that rescued you, but we don't seek rewards. In the next period of time, you can go around Pingshun County and take a look. If you are willing to stay and develop together with Pingshun, we welcome you at any time. If you want to leave, we will send a special car to take you!"
The professors looked at each other in bewilderment, thinking that although they had escaped from the hands of the Japanese this time, they had fallen into the hands of the Eighth Route Army.
But who would have thought that they could be freed? And they were not kidnapped for saving their lives?
"Really?"
"Really! As a student of Yan University, I promise you all!"
After Zhao Gang finished speaking, he asked Jia Guier to arrange accommodation for the professors and serve them with delicious food and drinks.
Zhao Gang then immediately received other progressive people on the truck behind, as well as some entrepreneurs and engineers who were imprisoned by the Japanese.
Again, the same thing applies, if you’re willing to stay, let’s do it together!
In the next few days, Jia Guier arranged a series of visits and studies, visiting Pingshun Academy of Sciences, Pingshun University and some non-confidential factories.
The most important thing is to arrange some exchanges with the scientific, engineering and business communities to allow them to speak from their own experience, which is much better than just shouting slogans.
In the end, only a few left.
Pingshun University has finally become a comprehensive university with comprehensive disciplines.
Pingshun Academy of Sciences has also been injected with fresh blood, and various research work is being carried out in full swing.
Several new factories have been built in the Economic Development Zone, adding some economic vitality.
And these "guests" had just arrived for a few days.
Two I-15 aircraft escorted a passenger plane to land at Pingshun Military Airport. At this time, F6F Hellcat fighter jets were carrying out a combat readiness cruise mission and frequently took off and landed at the airport.
The pilots from Chongqing were stunned when they saw the brand new F6F Hellcat quickly take off. They thought the independent column really had such advanced fighter jets!
In the past, I always heard students from the Independent Column talk about how advanced their fighter planes were. Due to confidentiality reasons, the specific details were not given, so I thought they were bragging just to save face.
But it was not until I really saw those brand new planes that I realized that the clown was actually myself.
Nelson Johnson got off the plane accompanied by Zhou Zhirou.
Nelson looked at the well-trained ground crew in colorful uniforms who were energetically going forward to maintain the aircraft, and he felt that this air force unit might really be able to defeat the Japanese Zero fighters.
Nelson and his team walked to the side of the runway and wanted to get closer to an F6F Hellcat fighter that was refueling to see what was going on.
But he was immediately stopped by armed guards.
"I'm sorry, the fighter jets are the highest military secret of the Independent Column. Without the orders of Commander Li and Chief of Staff Wang, no one is allowed to approach!"
Nelson and Zhou Zhirou's faces turned red. They had never eaten this kind of turtle in China.
"This soldier, we are the guests of your Commander Li. Can't we get closer to the fighter plane and take a look?"
"no!"
As soon as the soldier blew the whistle, a dozen soldiers holding G43 semi-automatic rifles quickly lined up in front of Nelson and Zhou Zhirou.
Then, pull the bolt to load the chamber!
"You! How can this be unreasonable!"
Just when Zhou Zhirou was about to lose face, a hearty laugh came from behind her.
"Hahaha, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Poor mountains and bad waters breed unruly people. Our people are tough and unyielding, so please bear with us! I'm Li Yunlong from the Independent Column, and I welcome everyone!"
With a glance from Li Yunlong, the fully fueled F6F Hellcat fighter jet roared and quickly took off, leaving everyone looking at each other in bewilderment.
"Commander Li, Ambassador Nelson wanted to see your new plane. Why did it take off?"
Li Yunlong pointed at the man in front of him.
"Excuse me, what's your name?"
