Chapter 962 Minister of Justice
Vietnam, Hanoi, January 8, 1939.
It has just been a few days since Wang Jingwei published his "erotic video".
The response from both home and abroad was completely beyond Wang Jingwei's expectations.
Originally, Mr. Wang Zhaoming thought that with his influence and prestige, once the telegram came out, not to mention the nationwide response, at least half of the country would support him.
Unexpectedly, the real situation was completely opposite to what I imagined.
Domestically, there was a sound of accusations, and major newspapers published articles one after another, angrily accusing Wang Jingwei of treason and surrendering to the enemy, and firmly supporting the government's resistance to the end.
Even newspapers that had always been opposed to the Chairman actually sided with the government on this incident.
The international situation is even less optimistic.
The United States, Britain, France and other countries have expressed their sympathy and support for the National Government, and the U.S. government is actually preparing to resume loans to China.
Out of control.
The situation is really out of control.
Wang Jingwei frowned and held meetings for several days to discuss how to deal with the current situation.
There are also Japanese people.
They specially sent a man named Zong Benyikou, who said he was responsible for taking care of Mr. Wang, but he was actually here to monitor him.
This man was very arrogant. On the surface he seemed to respect Wang Jingwei, but in fact he didn't take Wang Jingwei seriously at all.
People had to bow their heads under the eaves, and Wang Jingwei could only endure it.
The top priority now is to establish a new government to fight against the Chongqing National Government.
Most of Wang Jingwei's generals gathered in Hanoi.
His temporary residence in Hanoi has almost become the political center of the Wang faction.
The candidates for the president of the Legislative Yuan and the Supervisory Yuan are basically determined by default and are waiting for approval from the Japanese.
But the position of president of the Judicial Yuan is a bit nerve-wracking.
Originally, both Wang Jingwei and the Japanese belonged to Wen Zongyao.
But the problem is that Wen Zongyao is dead.
Who will inherit this position?
"I nominate someone."
Seeing that everyone was silent, Chen Bijun said, "I thought Xing Weng could do the job."
Everyone's eyes fell on Meng Baifeng.
Meng Baifeng filled his pipe with tobacco and said nothing.
The atmosphere was somewhat silent for a moment.
Mei Siping, who went to Hong Kong to negotiate with the Japanese on behalf of Wang Jingwei and Gao Zongwu, and was appointed as the future Minister of Industry and Commerce of the puppet regime, coughed twice and said:
"Originally, with Xing Weng's ability and qualifications, it would be more than enough to be the Minister of Justice. However, the work that Xing Weng is currently responsible for is also very important, and we cannot leave Xing Weng for a day. Therefore, I think the candidate for the Minister of Justice should be drafted separately.
"
Everyone knows that there is a conflict between Mei Siping and Meng Baifeng.
Especially after Wang Jingwei's original spy chief Ren Daowu was killed.
Ren Daowu and Mei Siping had a very good relationship, but who would have thought that they would be involved in the assassination of Chen Bijun. As a result, under Chen Bijun's instruction, Meng Baifeng killed Ren Daowu.
Of course, Mei Siping did not dare to blame Chen Bijun.
Therefore, Meng Baifeng naturally became his enemy.
In addition, Mei Siping is really a bit nerdy, and he doesn't want to think about what kind of person Meng Baifeng is.
Someone once tried to persuade me, but Mei Siping failed at all. He even said:
"So what? Can Meng Baifeng still kill me?"
I thought Meng Baifeng would be furious, but unexpectedly he said calmly: "Mr. Mei is absolutely right. Since he thinks I am not qualified for the job, I think it is better to choose someone else who can do it."
As a result, even Chen Bijun was a little dissatisfied with Mei Siping.
She only wanted to be the first lady, and the future government must have someone of her own. In his opinion, Meng Baifeng was the most suitable candidate.
Now, it was actually destroyed by Mei Siping?
Just when I was feeling a little embarrassed, a man suddenly rushed in.
Zongbenyikou!
Wang Jingwei was very dissatisfied.
There is a meeting going on right now, why did he barge in?
But it’s not easy to get angry: “Is there something important, Mr. Zongmoto?”
"Mr. Wang." Zong Benyi opened his mouth and said, "I heard that you went out yesterday?"
Wang Jingwei was startled: "Yes, I went out for a walk."
"Mr. Wang!" Zong Benyi's tone suddenly became stern: "Why don't you report to me when you go out?"
report?
This Japanese actually used the word "report"?
Everyone was angry and ashamed.
Did he actually regard Mr. Wang as his subordinate?
Zong Benyi said as if no one was listening: "Mr. Wang, I must be responsible for your safety here. Chongqing is very likely to be detrimental to Mr. Wang, and I cannot let the assassin succeed. Therefore, this incident will not be an exception!"
Wang Jingwei was so angry that his heart ached.
Who are you?
Who is Zong Benyikou?
How dare a little spy speak to me like that?
How to endure it?
You can’t endure it, but you have to endure it!
"Farewell!"
Zong Benyikou didn't care what these Chinese people thought. He bowed slightly, turned around and left.
"Mr. Zongmoto, I'll see you off."
Meng Baifeng put out his pipe and stood up.
"No need."
"If you want it, you must give it to me."
Meng Baifeng came to Zong Benyikou's side without any explanation.
These cowardly Chinese people.
Zongben was about to speak when his throat suddenly tightened.
Then he screamed miserably.
Meng Baifeng held a sharp knife in his hand.
One of Zong Benyi's ears was actually cut off by him.
Meng Baifeng pinched his neck, with a smile on his face: "Remember your identity, you are here to monitor Mr. Wang."
Wang Jingwei suddenly felt embarrassed.
However, Meng Baifeng remained silent: "There is a fundamental difference between monitoring, ordering, and bullying. Who is Mr. Wang? How dare you treat him like this?"
"Baga, I am Japanese!"
Zongben also shouted wildly.
Meng Baifeng smiled: "Japanese? You are just a small person. Your senior officials still rely on Mr. Wang to do big things. Even if I kill you today, your boss will not fight Wang for the death of a small person like you."
Sir, you are angry."
He tightened his hand and said: "From now on, if you treat Mr. Wang like this again, I will cut off your other ear, then your nose, fingers, and toes. Do you understand?"
Zong Benyi couldn't breathe at all and nodded repeatedly.
Meng Baifeng finally let go of him: "Pick up your ears and eat them!"
"What?"
"I say, eat it! Or, you'll be missing the other ear."
Zongben hesitated, gritted his teeth, bent down, picked up the ear, and stuffed it into his mouth.
Immediately, he began to vomit.
Everyone feels like vomiting.
Meng Baifeng turned around: "Madam just nominated me to be the Minister of Justice, and now I am suddenly interested again. Does anyone object?"
His eyes fell on Mei Siping:
"Mr. Mei, do you object?"
Mei Siping nodded first, then shook his head repeatedly.
As soon as he turned around, he couldn't bear it anymore and vomited everything out with a "wow" sound.
Chapter completed!
