Crossing the spy war, my code name is God of Wealth
Chapter 971 No progress
After seeing Sun Shaoqian off, Chen Yang sighed slightly.
There are not many Americans in this world who can make the Chinese people feel good, and Mr. Situ is one of the few.
"Knock knock knock." There was a knock on the door and He Yuehua walked in with a thick stack of information.
"Minister, the information you requested about Mr. Stuart is ready."
Chen Yang rubbed his brows and said, "Read it."
"Hi." He Yuehua bowed slightly and opened the information in her hand and read carefully: "Stuart, male, born on June 1876, 6."
"An American, a Presbyterian missionary, and also a famous educator in China."
"He was born in Hangzhou, China. Both his parents were American missionaries in China. In 1904, Stuart married Irene Rod and went to China to preach. He participated in the establishment of Hangzhou Yuying Academy."
Chen Yang nodded. The Hangzhou Yuying Academy mentioned by He Yuehua was the Zhijiang University of later generations.
In 1952, due to various reasons, the departments of this university were split into Zhejiang Normal University, Zhejiang University, Fudan University and other institutions, and it disappeared from then on.
He Yuehua paused, turned to the next page and said, "In 1915, Stuart went to Jinling Theological Seminary to serve as a professor of Greek."
"In 1919, he served as president and dean of Yenching University."
“Since then, as a long-term leader of Yanda, he has made indelible contributions to the development and growth of the university.”
"In order to strengthen Yenching University and train various technical talents, he did not hesitate to lower his status and raise funds everywhere to build a magnificent new campus for Yenching University in the western suburbs of Peking."
"In addition to hardware construction, he was also very generous in education. He had spent a lot of money many times to invite famous scholars from China and abroad, such as Wu Leichuan, Xu Dishan, Deng Zhicheng, Gu Jiegang, Zhao Zichen, Qian Mu, Wu Wenzao and other famous educators to teach at Yenching University, thus enhancing the university's reputation and academic status."
"In 1927, Yenching University and Harvard University cooperated to form the famous Harvard-Yenching Institute to promote cultural exchanges between China and the United States. Thanks to his unremitting efforts, Yenching University has now developed into the highest academic church university in China."
"That's all?" Chen Yang raised his head and looked at He Yuehua.
He Yuehua looked at the document in her hand, not knowing what to say, and after a while she slowly said, "Minister, this Mr. Stuart seems to have a deep grudge against the Empire.
"The data shows that Principal Situ has organized students to strike and march on the streets many times since the Empire entered China."
"He even used his status as an American expatriate to privately contact anti-Japanese elements in Nanjing many times and helped them raise supplies."
"Two years ago, he was invited to Jinling. Later, because he was suspected of participating in a demonstration against the Jinling government and suspected of participating in the Red Movement, he was arrested by Zuo Mingquan of the Jinling Special Service Office and imprisoned in the Ledaoyuan Concentration Camp in Weifang."
"Ledaoyuan Concentration Camp?" Chen Yang frowned. This was a concentration camp that only detained foreigners. The prisoners included Americans, British, French, Belgians and other countries, and most of them were church members, with a total of more than two thousand people.
Chen Yang sighed and said, "After entering the Ledaoyuan concentration camp, you can still be released? This is rare."
He Yuehua flipped through the information and said, "Minister, the information records that after Principal Situ was taken to the Ledaoyuan concentration camp, Shancheng and Yanjing University repeatedly proposed to the Jinling government to release Principal Situ."
"Finally, several big names in the education sector approached Dean Chen. Dean Chen and Yin Rugeng, director of the North China Political Affairs Office, invited Yenching University to provide various support to the Jinling government. Only then did they convince Mr. Wang to issue a special pardon and release him."
"The seven gold mines surveyed by the North China Administrative Office last year were found by a geological survey team organized by Yenching University."
Chen Yang nodded and pointed in front of him and said, "Secretary He, put the information here and you go out first."
He Yuehua respectfully placed the documents on the desk, bowed slightly, and turned to leave the office.
Chen Yang picked up the information and read it carefully. All he knew about Stuart was because of the text he read in high school.
That is the text excerpted from the report "Farewell, Leighton Stuart".
Chen Yang still remembers a passage that was required for the test.
"What's there to be afraid of a little difficulty... The Chinese people are not even afraid of death, so why are they afraid of difficulties?"
To be honest, this article is not so much written about Stuart as it is directed at those American politicians who have ambitions over Chinese territory. It seems that Stuart was accidentally hurt.
In fact, although Stuart always followed the position of the U.S. government during his tenure as ambassador to China, his contribution to China was still considerable.
As a diplomat, he had tried to mediate the dispute between the two parties. However, in the later stages of the war, the Shancheng troops were losing ground and there was no possibility of turning the tide.
In 1949, when the Nationalist army was defeated, Stuart still wanted to mediate the dispute between the two sides and wanted to attend the Yenching University anniversary celebration in a private capacity.
After receiving the letter, Mr. Xiangyu also wanted to invite him to meet in person, but the matter was reported to the US government.
The US government strictly ordered him not to meet with the top leaders of the Red Party in private and recalled him to the United States.
It was this behavior that greatly changed the public's view of him, and he was misunderstood for decades afterwards.
It was not until the Americans re-established diplomatic relations with China that his reputation gradually improved.
Letting an educator who has been in China for decades be in charge of the negotiations seems ridiculous to others.
But this honorary doctor of Princeton University later became a diplomat stationed in China.
Chen Yang inexplicably felt that someone was not friendly.
"Knock, knock, knock." Suddenly, there was a knock on the office door. He Yuehua pushed open the door and said, "Minister, Minister Songdao from the consulate is here."
Chen Yang put Stuart's information aside and said, "Please ask him to come in."
He Yuehua bowed slightly and hurried to pass on the message.
Hisao Matsushima's original position was Li Xianshu's personal assistant, and he was also the head of the Chinese Special Investigation Section within the consulate.
After Li Xianshu passed away, he naturally took over Li Xianshu's position and became the minister of the intelligence agency.
Of course, ministers are also divided into different levels, and his power as a minister is not as great as Chen Yang's.
There was a sound of footsteps, and Matsushima Hisao appeared at the office door with a briefcase.
"minister."
"Mr. Matsushima, please take a seat." Chen Yang politely invited Matsushima Hisao to sit down.
Matsushima Hisao did not refuse. After sitting opposite Chen Yang, he opened his briefcase and handed the documents inside to Chen Yang with both hands.
"Minister Chen, this is the report compiled by the intelligence agencies recently."
"We can probably be sure that the mastermind behind this bombing is probably the Central Bureau of Investigation."
