"Sir, I have something to ask for your help." Lu Ming couldn't hold it back for a long time, and finally said it.
"Silly children, they are all members of the family. They don't ask for anything." Mrs. Wang stroked Lu Ming's head and smiled, as if Lu Ming was her pet kitten.
Lu Ming shivered, but there was nothing he could do.
Mrs. Wang was once the youngest member of the Tongmenghui. As a pioneer of the Chinese women's revolutionary movement, she was older than Mrs. Sun, the mother of the country, so the mother of the country also respected her.
Speaking of the Mother of the Nation, Lu Ming had met the Mother of the Nation several times in the past year or so. Later he learned that the Mother of the Nation lived next door to the Young Marshal's Mansion, which meant that if he and Mingzhu had successfully married, they would have been neighbors to the Mother of the Nation.
It seemed that Sheng Youde had not done anything arbitrarily when he bought him that luxurious house, but had deep meaning.
"Xiaolu, that's what you say." Mr. Wang also nodded.
Lu Ming thought for a while and then told him about Du Juan.
"What? The Japanese are so shameless. I will personally negotiate with them and get them back for you." Mrs. Wang was the first to explode and said angrily.
"Are you sure it was the Japanese who did it? I have vaguely heard about this. Didn't our Ministry of Foreign Affairs negotiate with them many times? But they have always denied it," Mr. Wang said thoughtfully.
"They did it, and it was personally planned by Kenji Doihara, the head of the Kwantung Army's secret service. I have conclusive evidence." Lu Ming said.
The evidence he holds in his hand is of course Kawashima Yoshiko's phone recording and those photos of Du Juan on the streets of Dalian.
Over the past few days, Lu Ming has been trying various methods and channels to rescue Du Juan, but unfortunately they have all failed. Even Sheng Youde has used various connections, but there has still been no progress.
His Japanese classmate General Muto personally asked the Kwantung Army commander about this matter, and the Kwantung Army headquarters also firmly denied it.
As for the negotiations with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China government, it was even more ineffective. The Japanese Minister of Foreign Affairs actually inquired about the matter, but the result was that nothing was found about it.
In other words, after the cuckoo landed in Japan, it disappeared like the air evaporated.
"Fourth brother, you are very familiar with Kenji Doihara, so just ask him directly for help." Mrs. Wang said eagerly. It seems that Mrs. Wang is very enthusiastic.
"Well, I have been dating Kenji Doihara for many years. Although this man is not very good-looking, he looks like an old Chinese farmer, but he is very skilled in business and has the demeanor of a gentleman. He always does what he says and fulfills his promises. I will find him.
He talked about it," Mr. Wang said.
Lu Ming smiled bitterly. It seemed that Mr. Wang was also deceived and actually had a good impression of a Japanese spy leader.
How can a person in charge of a secret service be a sincere and trustworthy person? If he is sincere, he should truthfully disclose the fact that he kidnapped Du Juan.
He deliberately concealed the truth. There are only two possibilities. One is that the time to disclose it is not yet ripe, and the other is that he is seeking to obtain greater exchange benefits and is waiting for the fish to take the bait.
Lu Ming knew Doihara Kenji very well. It was true that he had an unassuming appearance. If he saw him on the street, he would have mistakenly thought that he was an old farmer from China. His face was sincere and dull.
But this man is synonymous with cunning. These characteristics of treachery, greed, and shamelessness are perfectly combined in him.
"The Japanese don't admit this now, but I got reliable news that Du Juan has been taken to the Japanese mainland by them, and he got on the ship from Dalian." After saying that, Lu Ming handed the photos to Mr. Wang.
.
Mr. Wang held the tea cup in one hand and took the photo in the other. He nodded and looked at the photo carefully.
Lu Ming was really desperate, so he begged Mr. Wang. If he hadn't been eager to save people, he would never have said this.
"I have a question, why did the Japanese arrest your little girlfriend?" Mr. Wang put down the teacup and leaned back on the sofa and asked.
"They are fishing and want me to take the initiative to go to Japan. Their real purpose is to catch me," Lu Ming said.
"Arrest you? Why are they arresting you? Is it because you killed those Japanese last time?" Mrs. Wang asked.
Lu Ming broke into the Japanese concession and killed four senior Manchurian Railway agents. Not only were there many rumors in the society, but many people were also discussing it within the government. Of course, Mr. Wang already knew the inside story.
"I don't think it has anything to do with that matter. It was a grudge between me and Mantetsu. The kidnapping of Du Juan this time was done by the Kwantung Army. I don't know what their purpose was." Lu Ming said with a helpless smile.
"Well, no matter what they think, don't do anything stupid. Once people arrive in Japan, we won't have the final say." Mrs. Wang said.
"I know, I'm not that stupid, that's why I came to ask sir for help." Lu Ming said.
Lu Ming also felt bitter in his heart. If the Japanese really had integrity, he would be willing to go to Japan and exchange himself for Du Juan. Unfortunately, the word integrity does not exist in the minds of the Japanese.
"Xiaolu, what do you think of my speech today?" Mr. Wang asked, changing the subject.
"It's very good. Mr.'s speeches always touch the hearts of the listeners and have the power to shock people's hearts." Lu Ming said.
This is not something that goes against one's will. No matter who it is, as long as they listen to Mr. Wang's speech, they will fall into the magic radiated by words and sounds, and it will take a long time to wake up.
Mr. Wang's speaking ability was definitely ranked first in the Republic of China government. No one could match him. Mr. Jiang could only carry straw sandals for him.
However, Lu Ming has been dating Mr. Wang for a long time and has developed a certain immunity in this regard, but he has to admit that Mr. Wang's speech is charming, irresistible, and very logical.
"Then tell me what you think." Mr. Wang said with great interest.
"The gentleman proposed to use extensive and in-depth economic cooperation to mitigate or even eliminate the risk of war. If it can be done, it is indeed the best way. Sino-Japanese cooperation is not only possible, but there is huge room for mutual benefit between the two sides.
It can benefit the people of both countries." Lu Ming said it from the bottom of his heart.
"Well, keep talking." Mr. Wang looked happy and nodded frequently.
"We have raw materials and a vast market that the Japanese industry lacks, and Japan has the technology and capital we need. If China and Japan can really communicate candidly, cooperate in depth, and create a Sino-Japanese economic integration, it will be possible in the near future.
In the distant future, we will catch up with powerful countries like Britain and the United States." Lu Ming said seriously.
"Here, this is what I am thinking. I have been interacting with people in the Japanese political, business and military circles. In fact, they also have this desire. Many of them also believe that the benefits of cooperation are greater than war, so I
I dare to say that peace between China and Japan will definitely be achieved." Mr. Wang laughed heartily.
"But, sir, the current domestic situation in Japan is also very complicated. It turns out that the treaty negotiated by President Sun Ke and the Japanese government of Takeshi Inukai was very good. In the end, it was ruined by Japanese soldiers, so the Japanese government cannot be trusted.
, even if a treaty is agreed upon with them, it is very likely that those domineering young officers will carry out another assassination attempt and the treaty will be abolished." Lu Ming said worriedly.
"Well, what you said makes sense. These young Japanese soldiers are so shameless. They are short-sighted and fail more than they succeed. But they are a minority after all, and the Japanese military can still suppress them," Mr. Wang said.
.
"Not necessarily. I also understand some of the situation in Japan. Now the Japanese government's restraint on military personnel has not been strengthened but has been greatly weakened. The Japanese military's restraint on middle- and lower-level officers is also weakening..." Lu Ming analyzed.
"This is what worries me the most. The desire for peace cannot replace the complex and severe reality. However, I have communicated with the Japanese military many times and asked them to control the emotions of those young officers." Mr. Wang responded.
Also expressed concern.
"This is just like the Tang Dynasty in China when the feudal lords were separated. In fact, power was not in the hands of the upper class, but in the hands of middle- and lower-level officers. These middle- and lower-level officers were precisely those young soldiers who could launch a war at will and control the army.
You're in trouble." Lu Ming continued.
"Xiaolu, I didn't notice that you have some research on Japan's political and military circles. That's good. The government needs young talents like you very much." Mr. Wang praised.
"I'm a good judge of people, and I think this kid will have great potential in the future." Mrs. Wang couldn't help but stepped forward and grabbed Lu Ming's hand, patting it affectionately.
"Sir, I think Du Juan's kidnapping is an ominous signal, and there will be more and more such things in the future. At present, the dangers of Sino-Japanese relations far outweigh the opportunities. I don't know if my judgment is accurate?
" Lu Ming said.
"Yes, Japan has practiced shogunate politics for more than a thousand years. The so-called shogunate system is similar to the separatist rule of vassal towns in the Tang Dynasty. Although during the Meiji Restoration, each vassal town swore allegiance to the emperor and returned power to the emperor, but the shogunate system is
