"Preparatory Committee for the Reform Government of the Republic of China".

Tian Qi looked at the sign and walked in calmly.

"Mr. Tian, ​​Mr. Tian." Liang Hongzhi, the puppet executive president, and Wen Zongyao, the puppet legislative president, and Chen Qun, the minister of the interior, came out to welcome him.

Although in terms of their positions, the status of these three people far exceeds that of Tian Qi, Tian Qi is a spy and is very favored by the Japanese.

Especially Sakurai Kimura, he is regarded as a treasure.

You cannot afford to offend such a person no matter what.

"Mr. Tian, ​​please, please." Liang Hongzhi and others welcomed Tian Qi into the living room and served tea. Liang Hongzhi said, "Mr. Tian is responsible for inspecting the safety inspection work at the opening ceremony of the reform government this time. It is really hard."

.I have already prepared some security work and some suggestions, and I will ask Mr. Tian to review them later."

"No need." Tian Qi said lightly: "The Empire of Japan is responsible for security, so you don't need to worry about it."

These words really embarrassed the three big traitors.

To be serious, when Liang Hongzhi became Secretary of the State Council of the Beiyang Government, Tian Qi was just a big kid playing in the mud in the countryside.

Now, you are actually dictating to them?

Liang Hongzhi was extremely well-educated in literature and very arrogant. He often referred to himself as "Dongpo". However, after joining the Japanese, that arrogance disappeared without a trace. From then on, he could only carry his tail between his legs.

"It's very true, it's very true." Wen Zongyao was over sixty years old and had served as a soldier and fought in wars. However, the older he got, the less courageous he became. He only tried his best to please: "It's very unreasonable for the Japanese to be responsible for the safety of the opening ceremony.

Okay. Mr. Tian is an important general of the Japanese. If you have any instructions, just give them and we will follow them."

As soon as he said this, even his companions felt ashamed.

After all, the people here are all high-ranking officials. Tian Qi is just a small spy, but Wen Zongyao's tone of voice is as if his subordinates are reporting to their superiors for instructions.

The problem is, this kind of contempt can only be kept in the heart and cannot be shown on the face under any circumstances.

For Tian Qi, he didn't want to have anything to do with these real traitors at all. If Sakurai Kimura hadn't specially ordered him to come here to monitor people like Liang Hongzhi, he would have felt sick even stepping into this place.

These traitors may seem glorious, but only they themselves know the sadness.

The so-called cabinet ministers in these "governments" are mostly dignitaries and bureaucrats from the past Beiyang government, and their social appeal is not great.

All government affairs of the Reform Government of the Republic of China are controlled by the specially established Japanese Advisory Department. Without agreement with the advisors, the "Reformation Government" cannot implement its government affairs.

The contents and resolutions of Executive Yuan meetings are all set in advance by advisers based on Japanese opinions. Even the daily lives of the traitors in the puppet regime are monitored by Japanese advisers.

"Mr. Tian." Liang Hongzhi hurriedly changed the subject: "I have made a report on our relationship with Peking. I wonder if the Japanese side approves it?"

There is a "reform government" in Nanjing, and the so-called "Provisional Government of the Republic of China" was established in Peiping as early as last year, with Wang Kemin, a veteran pro-Japanese element, in charge.

The highest military and political authorities in Japan proceed from the highest interests of Japan's invasion of China, in order to elevate the Beiyang government and belittle the Nanjing puppet national government, so they use the "Provisional Government of the Republic of China" in Peiping as the successor to the orthodoxy of the Republic of China.

In principle, Nanjing follows the guidance of Beijing, but it is not a local agency affiliated with Peking.

The puppet regime in Beijing also tried to absorb the "Nanjing Reform Government", but due to the internal competition between the northern and southern Japanese militaries and Wang Kemin and Liang Hongzhi's disapproval of each other, it ended in vain.

But there is another more important factor:

The two puppet regimes in the north and south are separated. In the eyes of Japan's highest authorities, neither Wang Kemin nor Liang Hongzhi are China's "first-rate figures". They are not qualified to call for and lead in terms of qualifications, prestige, influence, etc.

across China.

Liang Hongzhi was also well aware of this, so he specially wrote a "Ten Thousand Words Letter" to Japan, explaining the importance of the Nanjing puppet regime's struggle for more independence to Japan's interests in China.

"The above has seen Dean Liang's suggestion." Tian Qi said lightly: "But the above also asked me to tell Dean Liang that the most important thing at the moment is to ensure the smooth establishment of the reform government."

Liang Hongzhi was immediately disappointed. The Japanese had rejected his suggestion.

"Extremely yes, extremely yes." Wen Zongyao seemed to only be able to say the two words "extremely yes" over and over again: "The north and the south each have their own affairs and do not interfere with each other. That is common sense. However, whether it is the south or the north, they are all for the sake of China.

Therefore, the talks between the North and the South in Shanghai are extremely important."

Talks between the North and South puppet regimes in Shanghai?

Tian Qi didn't know this situation.

He is mainly responsible for the secret service, and he basically has no right to interfere with political matters. If he hadn't been ordered to come here this time, this information would never have been obtained.

It is necessary to find out when they will hold talks in Shanghai and who will attend.

Tian Qi said nonchalantly: "Yes, the Shanghai talks are very important, but we must also be prepared to be sabotaged. I have worked in Shanghai for a long time, and I am quite clear about the situation there. Please tell me your arrangements."

"I don't dare, I don't dare." Liang Hongzhi did not suspect fraud at all: "It mainly relies on Japanese arrangements. In order to celebrate the establishment of the reform government, Peiping also sent a delegation to congratulate. We will meet in Shanghai in early March

Meet with their representative Shi Qingzhi..."

Shi Qingzhi, Shi Qingzhi.

Tian Qi quickly searched for this name in his mind.

Then he said calmly: "Chairman Wang Kemin can send his secretary to meet with you, which shows that he still attaches great importance to the Nanjing Reform Government."

"That's right, that's right."

At this time, Tian Qi was most grateful to Miao Chengfang.

At first, Miao Chengfang taught him Japanese, taught him dancing, taught him etiquette, and also asked him to recite a large number of names, positions, and experiences, which was extremely boring.

Some people didn't know what Tian Qi did before, and they had always resented Miao Chengfang for lurking. Why do they have to understand so many things?

But now he finally understood Miao Chengfang's painstaking efforts.

Lurking is not just about sneaking into the Japanese.

He casually told Shi Qingzhi's position, which made Liang Hongzhi and others think that Tian Qi had already known about this meeting:

"Actually, it's nothing. This meeting is just to discuss the scale of the reception, as well as opportunities for future cooperation between the two parties, and how to restore peace to China as soon as possible."

Tian Qi said "Yeah": "It seems simple, but in fact it is complicated. Who are you going to send to negotiate?"

"Chen Youtao, son of Foreign Minister Chen Lu."

Tian Qi frowned: "Shi Qingzhi is Chairman Wang's confidant and his secretary. It seems inappropriate to send Chen Youtao there, right?"

"We have considered it again and again." Liang Hongzhi explained: "Chen Youtao decided to appoint him as the director of the General Affairs Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The positions are roughly equal. In addition, Chen Lu's family originally lived in Shanghai, which is also convenient for reception work. Chen Lu's family's residence in Shanghai,

On one side is the patrol house, on the other side is the Italian military barracks, and on the other side is a Japanese spy agency. It is heavily guarded. People with evil intentions will not be able to even approach it, let alone those who want to plot evil. It is very safe to talk there."

"Well, you have thought it through quite carefully." Tian Qi nodded slightly: "Even so, you must not be careless. You must ask for instructions and report to the Japanese Shanghai authorities on anything, and do not neglect it. This is a big matter, and I am afraid that something will go wrong.

I can’t afford it.”

"Yes Yes."

This information must be sent out immediately.

If it can cause trouble in the North-South talks in Shanghai, or even cause a big disturbance, it will be a blow to these traitors and the establishment of the pseudo-Nanjing reform government.

Tian Qi has already made this decision in his heart.

…

No matter how Liang Hongzhi and others wanted to stay with Tian Qi for dinner, Tian Qi refused.

A bunch of clowns.

Moreover, Sakurai Kimura had one more thing for him to do this time.

Dashugen No. 76.

Tian Qi met Li Shiqun again.

Comparing people like Li Shiqun and Liang Hongzhi, they are completely different.

When he saw Tian Qi, he was still neither humble nor overbearing: "Mr. Tian, ​​I've been waiting for you for a long time."

"Mr. Li Shiqun, something has delayed us." Tian Qi said calmly: "We have arranged a flight to Hong Kong for you. There, you will meet the Japanese representative, and you will negotiate the specific matters."

"Okay, let Mr. Tian worry about it."

"I will personally escort you to Hong Kong on the plane tomorrow."

Tian Qi didn't take Li Shiqun seriously. He was nothing more than an agent of the Central Investigation Department who was preparing to rebel. He was not a big shot.

It is said that he was imprisoned on suspicion of assassinating Shi Jimei, the head of the Shanghai District of the Central Investigation Bureau. It was only through his wife Ye Jiqing that she sent money everywhere and even sacrificed her life to rescue him.

What can a man do who relies on women selling their bodies to escape disaster?

On February 16, 1938, Li Shiqun left Nanjing and boarded a plane to Hong Kong.

It was escorted by Tian Qi alone.

Tian Qi also wanted to kill him, but gave up the idea.

First, it is easy to expose yourself by doing so.

Secondly, he felt that Li Shiqun was just a "little person" and there was no need for him to do it himself.

And not long after, Tian Qi's decision made him regretful.

He once had a chance to easily kill Li Shiqun, but he gave up due to various reasons. When he was ready to kill Li Shiqun again, he found that it was more difficult than climbing to the sky.

"Thank you, Mr. Tian." That's what Li Shiqun said to Tian Qi before getting ready to board the plane that day: "I think we will meet again in the future, and I will repay your kindness for escorting me today."

No matter what time or occasion, Tian Qi always thinks of these words and feels it is a huge irony.
