Chapter 645: Favor

"Eric, I'm afraid I can't help much in this matter." Soros finally made a decision. Looking at Tan Zhenhua's calm eyes, he said his answer with difficulty, and when he finally said this When speaking, he saw a flash of disappointment on Tan Zhenhua's face.
"Then, thank you for your black tea." He said, "Mr. Soros, it doesn't matter, maybe I should go find someone else." Tan Zhenhua thought about it when he finished speaking, he couldn't get what he wanted with Soros. Help, then he can only think of other ways, for example, try to contact Jessica and see if Ms. Hillary behind her is willing to take action on this matter, or find Tom Dile, Ask Mellon Ken’s reluctance to help... However, out of various considerations, Tan Zhenhua feels that they are unlikely to make a move.
After all, it is a matter of careful consideration for anyone to touch the relationship with China.
"Eric, please wait a minute." Soros called him at this moment, and then said: "My contacts in the government are limited to helping me get some information I need. If you want them to speak for you I am afraid it is difficult. This is also the reason why I am not able to help you. However, I just thought of a person. I think if you can move him, it will help you more."
"Oh? Who is it?"
"Eric, have you ever heard of the "American Jewish Federation" organization?" Soros did not immediately answer Tan Zhenhua's question but asked instead.
"U.S. Jewish Federation?" Tan Zhenhua hesitated before repliing: "Yes, I have heard of it, but I don't know much about it. It seems that this federation played a key role in the founding of Issaac."
Soros nodded and said: "Yes Eric, the "U.S. Jewish Federation" is the largest Jewish organization in the U.S. At the beginning of this century, more and more Jews migrated to U.S. countries from all over the world, but the entire Jewish nation was deeply affected by the U.S. At that time, the prevailing
anti-Semitism
faced various personal threats. In order to fight for the most basic rights and interests, they organized large and small Jewish associations by region to help each other. In 1932, these regional associations decided to unite and cooperate. The
American Jewish Federation
was formed as a national organization. Soon after the official establishment of this organization, the Second World War broke out. The then President of the United States, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, sympathized with the Jewish people and advocated against the Nazis. Strong measures should be taken. With his support, the "U.S. Jewish Federation" has been greatly developed. Of course, the Federation is also a firm supporter of President Roosevelt’s policy. His Excellency President Roosevelt has therefore become a historical part of the United States. Unique, four-term president of the United States."
"So, Mr. Soros, you must be a member of this federation?" Tan Zhenhua asked.
In his previous life, he had heard about the greatness of U.S. Jews from various sources, saying that Jews control more than half of U.S. wealth, that they influence various U.S. policies, and that they occupy a quarter of U.S. Nobel Prizes. The list of winners said that they have made amazing achievements in the fields of philosophy, culture, music, art, natural science... And now, there is an outstanding Jew who is willing to tell him some real history, and he could not help showing interest Look.
"Yes, of course I am a member of this federation." Soros replied: "The Jewish Union is a general term. Under it there are branches responsible for various professional affairs. Take Jianguo as an example. The one that played an important role in this matter and continues to exert influence now is a branch of the Federation called the "U.S.-Israel Relations Committee" that is in charge. If you read carefully Looking at the old newspaper, you might notice one of the latest achievements of this committee. In 1981, under the operation and promotion of this committee, President Reagan’s proposal to sell advanced weapons to Haosha was rejected by the Senate. And that time their opponent was the military industry group headed by Northrop, Lockheed, etc."
Tan Zhenhua sincerely praised: "This is indeed a commendable achievement, so Mr. Soros, do you want me to find this person from the US-Israel Relations Committee?"
Soros first nodded and then shook his head: "Eric, I suggest you find this "Committee on US-Israel Relations", but even I don’t have a deep relationship with them, you I know, I’m actually more focused on the financial sector, so I think my introduction may not matter to them."
"So?"
"Actually, the person I would like to suggest you go to first is not a member of the "U.S.-Israeli Relations Committee", but he has a high reputation in the entire "U.S. Jewish Federation", and according to my guess, He will definitely help you." Soros continued looking at Tan Zhenhua's puzzled eyes.
"Then who is this gentleman, and why are you sure that he will help me?" Tan Zhenhua asked.
"His name is Werner Michael Blumenthal, he was the Minister of Finance in the Jimmy Carter administration, a Democrat, and he is currently a member of the Executive Council of the American Jewish Federation." Soros replied: " And the reason I am sure that he will help you is because he has an unusually deep affection for China Xia. This is not only because of the normalization of the relationship between the United States and China during the tenure of President Carter. Of course, as far as I know he I really played a pivotal role in this matter."
"What is it for?"
"Because Werner Michael Blumenthal has ever received China's most selfless asylum."
"You mean, Mr. Warner, used to live in the Huaxia Magic City?"
"Yes, he lived in Huaxia Modu for 8 years, from 13 to 21 years old. It can be said that he spent his entire teenage years there. I have heard him say that it was in his life. In the most memorable 8 years, he also said that the magic city is really a warm city."
That's why Tan Zhenhua sighed.
This is a long dusty history.
On November 9, 1938, after the infamous "Crystal Night", the Nazis set off an anti-Semitic frenzy. The Jews who originally lived in Eastern Europe felt threatened and began to flee. At that time, there was nowhere to be found in the European continent. Can shelter them in a safe place, so some of them set their sights on the far east, where, at that time, there was the only big city in the world that could enter without financial guarantees and work certificates-China Magic capital.
The visa to the China Magic City was the only type of visa that Jews were able to obtain to flee Europe.
Because, in Vienna, there is a Chinese ambassador named He Fengshan. He is the only diplomat who is willing to provide visas to Jews among the more than 130 embassies in Vienna.
And Mr. He Fengshan also won the respect and memory of Jews all over the world because of his righteous deeds. His name was engraved in the Holocaust Memorial Hall in Jerusalem and was always admired by all Jews. In 2000, the Israeli government posthumously awarded him in 1997. The deceased Mr. He Fengshan was awarded the honorary title of "International Righteous Man".
According to incomplete statistics, there are about 25,000 Jews who have obtained He Fengshan’s visa and arrived at Magic City through various means. Here, they did not encounter the blind eyes and rejection that they generally encountered in Europe. Here, they feel What they get is equal treatment and selfless help—just like they are old neighbors for many years. They live in this city, just like all the aboriginals. The sunrise takes place at sunset. They run around for three meals a day, and occasionally drop in to chat with each other in their leisure time. This is a common small day for civilians, but it is precious to these Jews who have fled, because they are extremely valuable compared to their compatriots who stayed in Europe and lived in concentration camps and finally went to gas chambers and incinerators. lucky.
And this has also become a precious memory that they cannot forget in this life.
"Eric, since you know that he once lived in the magic city, of course you should also know what he has experienced, so I said he will definitely help you."
Soros interrupted Tan Zhenhua's thoughts, and the latter nodded slightly at him: "Then, Mr. Soros, would you like to introduce this Mr. Werner Michael Blumenthal for me?"
"Yes Eric, he is my friend, I will call you." Soros said.
Tan Zhenhua nodded again, stood up and leaned slightly and said: "Mr. Soros, I have to say, I am very grateful for your help. No matter what the outcome of my final meeting with Mr. Warner is, I owe you a favor. ."
