A sentence full of Zhejiang accent shook the small living room in the official residence of the leader of Chongqing, the capital: "Yunong, do you think the news coming from the outside is true? Su Jianming was really seriously injured by the Japanese assassination."
A respectful voice immediately replied, "This humble commissar really doesn't dare to make random guesses. However, according to the report of the agents assigned to Zhangjiakou, except for those policemen from the police station who have begun to strengthen their vigilance, there is no abnormal movement among the troops in Zhangjiakou. Everything is normal."
From what I’ve seen, it seems like there’s something else going on here.”
"Yunong, you still don't see things clearly. Some things in this world that seem normal are themselves abnormal. People say that abnormality is a monster, but things that are too normal are not abnormal."
"Yes, the appointment was wise, and I have learned from my humble position."
"Well, go ahead and observe carefully. If anything happens to Chahar, report it to me immediately."
"yes"
After a while, a confused sigh came from the living room, "Su Jianming, Su Jianming, are you alive or dead?"
There is a quiet alley in Yucheng called Lion Lane. The people who live in it are either rich or noble. There is a small villa in Lion Lane. Its house number is No. 7. The owner of this house is Chen Bijun. Well
, some people may not know who she is, but her husband’s name is familiar to most people in the country. His husband’s name is Wang Jingwei. He is currently the vice chairman of the Supreme Council for National Defense, the vice president of the National Congress Party, and the National Congress Political Council.
long.
Today, Wang Jingwei's favorite subordinate, Mei Siping, who was a professor at the Central University and the Central Political School at the time and a member of the National Congress Party's Central Legal Committee, rushed back from Shanghai and specially reported to Wang Jingwei the situation of contact with the Japanese and their attitude.
Therefore, Wang Jingwei and his wife held a banquet to entertain this hero today.
A simple meal of six dishes and one soup was placed on the table in the small restaurant. In addition to Wang Jingwei and his wife, Zhou Fohai was also there to accompany them.
After three rounds of drinks and five delicious dishes, Mei Siping took out the record of the Japan-China Agreement and the Record of Understanding on the Japan-China Agreement finalized by him and the Japanese from his briefcase, handed it to Wang Jingwei and said: "Mr. Wang, the Japanese's request is a
, Hua said that an agreement to defend against the Communists was concluded, and China recognized the presence of Japanese troops to defend against the Communists; 2. China recognized Manchukuo; 3. Japanese expatriates had the freedom to live and do business in China; 4. China said that economic cooperation, especially the use and development of resources in North China,
Acknowledge that Japan has priority; fifth, Japanese troops outside the agreement will begin to withdraw after peace between the two countries is restored, and will be completed within two years."
Wang Jingwei did not read the two agreements after taking them, but handed them to Chen Bijun beside him. He lowered his head and thought for a long time, then turned around and asked: "Jun Bi, what do you think of these two agreements?"
Chen Bijun snorted without thinking, "Now Jiang can no longer tolerate you. Fourth brother, if you don't make plans early, there will be no place for you in the government in the future. I think these Japanese treaties are very good, as long as
If we can win peace, it’s okay to make some concessions.”
Zhou Fohai on the side also helped: "Nothing in China can compare with Japan now. If the war expands and prolongs, Japan will naturally find it difficult, but when Japan feels itchy, China will be in unbearable pain."
How can such a war be fought?”
Mei Siping was more cautious: "This matter is really difficult. If it is done well, it will of course be beneficial to the country. If not, Mr. Wang's glorious history of more than 30 years will be written off."
Wang Jingwei sighed and said, "My personal honor and disgrace have long been indifferent. I just hope that the country can usher in peace as soon as possible. Jingwei's life is enough."
Chen Bijun snorted and said: "Fourth brother, you are just soft-hearted. You have made so many contributions to the country, but you are often misunderstood by the people. Is it true that in this world, a good person cannot do anything?"
"By the way," Mei Siping continued: "When I came yesterday, the Japanese also said that they wanted us to quickly explore the reality of the seventh theater. If the Su Tongzhen who was assassinated a few days ago is really dead, we might as well take the opportunity to investigate the situation in the seventh theater.
Bring people from the Seventh War Zone over so that we can have more armed forces after we peacefully establish our country."
"The Seventh War Zone is that Su Tong, right?" Chen Bijun has always scorned the Seventh War Zone. "The three northeastern provinces are not Chinese places at all. Fengtian was originally a dowry brought by the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Now they just bring their own dowry back.
That Su Tong was too troubled. He had trouble getting along with the Japanese. I don't know where the deep hatred between him and the Japanese came from. Now he's fine. He was shot in the dark by the Japanese." At this point, Chen Bijun was gloating in his misfortune.
It's obvious.
"Otherwise, Su Tong's life or death is uncertain now. Chahar has a large business and an army of nearly one million people that he has painstakingly managed. That power is something that even the Japanese value extremely. If it can be in our hands, then we will have peace.
The hope of founding a country has been greatly increased." Zhou Fohai coveted that power very much.
"Fohai, just save it." Chen Bijun said disdainfully: "You, the Deputy Minister of Propaganda of the Central Committee of the National Congress Party, may not be able to get into the eyes of those warlords with heavy troops. It is also Jiang's business to recruit him. He
He is much better at this than we are."
"This is not necessarily true. It all depends on people. If we don't try, how will we know if it works? I heard that Chahar is not as good as before. Although Su Tong was born as a warlord, he is also a good hand in construction. According to reports
People from Chahar said that the place has changed a lot now, and we are not greedy. As long as we can bring over 100,000 people, it will be a victory." At this point, Zhou Fohai's eyes were full of greed.
"Well, tomorrow we will ask Chen Gongbo to go to Chahar. Even if we can't win them over, it's still good to find out what's true." Wang Jingwei finally expressed his position.
While Wang Jingwei and his wife were plotting with his second general Ha Heng, the headquarters of the Japanese Central China Expeditionary Army in Chunhua outside Nanjing was filled with joy. Even the staff's voices were much louder when they walked. Matsui Iwane
In the office, I was discussing with Prince Asaka Palace Kituhiko how to conquer Nanjing.
"Matsui-kun, no matter whether this Su Tong is alive or dead, we are already in an invincible position. The pistol bullets used by our agents are special lead bullets. Even if we can save this person, he will not survive for long. Nanjing
The city must be ours." Prince Asaka Palace Kituhiko excitedly clapped his hands.
But Matsui Iwane shook his head, "Otherwise, we still have to be cautious. Now Su Tong's soldiers and horses are in grief and anger. Our rash attack is likely to cause unnecessary casualties. Your Excellency, have you noticed that the Chinese people have a very strong point?"
The strange characteristic is that if there is no external pressure, they will often become chaotic on their own, so what we have to do now is to wait quietly, and only after they all become chaotic will we have the opportunity to benefit from it."
After hearing this, Prince Kuhihiko of the Asaka Palace nodded frequently: "Hey, Mr. Matsui is indeed the pillar of the empire. He is really far-sighted."
"Hahaha"
The two looked at each other and laughed wildly, as if everything was under their control.
Even Su Tong did not expect that his assassination would cause such a big response. On the second day after he was admitted to the hospital, the entrance of St. John's Hospital was crowded with people from all walks of life who came to visit the patient, including generals and generals in the army.
Countless media reporters.
But Tieniu, the head of the security regiment, kept in mind the commander's words. No one was allowed to go in without the commander's approval. To this end, he specially set up two machine guns at the entrance of the hospital, with the black muzzles pointed at the door.
It also shocked some young people.
"We want to go in to see General Su. Let's go see General Su." At this time, a group of generals came over. The leaders were Luo Zhuoying and Liu Xing, who were deputy commanders.
"Hello, sir" Tieniu saluted the two generals.
"Colonel Tie, we have to go in to visit Commander Su, please be accommodating." Luo Zhuoying returned the greeting and said kindly with a smile on her face.
"Both officers, I'm really sorry. Chief Su woke up for a while yesterday. He ordered everyone not to go in and disturb him, otherwise they would be killed." Tieniu always had a poker face no matter who he was facing.
"Uh" Luo Zhuoying's smile froze on her face. She didn't expect that Su Tong's guard captain would not even give him face, "You, a small colonel, dare to stop the commander, who gave you such courage?"
"Suddenly there was a loud bang in the air.
Everyone took a closer look and found out that it was Lieutenant General Gui Yongqing, the commander of the teaching corps. As soon as Su Tong was assassinated, Gui Yongqing, a graduate of the German Infantry Vocational School, immediately saw an opportunity to expand his power. As He Yingqin's son-in-law, Gui Yongqing
Qing has great ambitions. It is not a bad thing for people to have ambitions, but the bad thing is that his abilities do not match his ambitions. It is really vivid to describe him as a high-minded person with a low hand. This can be seen from his past achievements.
It's very clear when you see it.
He clearly saw the strong combat effectiveness of the three infantry divisions and two aviation divisions brought by Su Tong. As long as these three divisions can be controlled, the power of He Yingqin's line will be greatly increased. Of course,
This idea was all illusory when Su Tong was still alive, but now that Su Tong's life and death were uncertain, wouldn't the opportunity come? When he thought of the phone call from his father-in-law He Yingqin yesterday, Gui Yongqing's heart suddenly heated up. Before he
It seems that there is no reason for a small colonel not to yield under the orders of so many superiors.
Who knew that Tieniu, a biochemical man, would not bother them at all. Tie Niu waved his hand, and the soldiers at the door immediately raised their guns. The sound of "clicking" kept sounding, and the muzzles of hundreds of black guns were immediately aimed at them.
, the two sides suddenly became tense.
"Stop!" At this moment, Tang Shengzhi walked out of the hospital door.
Tang Shengzhi glared at the generals with a majestic look and reprimanded loudly: "What on earth do you want to do? Commander Su is trying to save his life and his life is uncertain. Instead of holding on to your position, you are fighting here. What do you want to do?"
As soon as Tang Shengzhi came out, all the generals of the National Congress Party were dumbfounded. No one expected that Tang Shengzhi, who had been marginalized for a long time after Su Tong arrived, would appear. Although no one present usually thought of this.
He looked down upon a commander who had no soldiers and no money, but he was indeed everyone's commander in name. His sudden arrival stunned all the generals present who had different intentions.
"Sir Tang, we just want to go in to visit Commander Su. We have no ulterior motives. Don't get me wrong." Qiu Qingquan, the chief of staff of the teaching corps behind Gui Yongqing, looked at Tang Shengzhi and said calmly.
Tang Shengzhi sneered. "Okay, since you all still call me Sir Tang, then you must still listen to what I say, Commander-in-Chief."
"This is natural," Luo Zhuoying, who was at the front of the crowd, said bravely. At this time, everyone was taking the lead, so he naturally wanted to speak.
"Well, since you all still recognize me as your commander, I will order you in the name of the Commander-in-Chief of the Nanjing Garrison to return to your respective posts immediately. The enemy is not going to resist the Japanese aggressors, but instead leaves the position to gather people to cause trouble.
, do you still have any sense of responsibility as a revolutionary soldier in your hearts?" Tang Shengzhi said angrily.
Seeing Tang Shengzhi angrily reprimanding him, everyone felt a little disapproving, but now in a public place, there were so many reporters with long guns and short cannons watching eagerly, Tang Shengzhi, who was not respecting the orders of his superiors, put down his hat.
But it hit everyone's Achilles heel.
Luo Zhuoying, Liu Xing, Chief of Staff Zhou Lan and others looked at each other and said helplessly: "Since Chief Tang has spoken, why don't we disobey the etiquette and we'll just leave."
After saying that, Luo Zhuoying and others left the hospital with everyone's unwillingness. Their departure disappointed the people who originally wanted to watch the excitement and the spies from all forces.
When Tang Shengzhi returned to a hidden room in the hospital, he saw the person responsible for the incident sitting in the room leisurely making Kung Fu tea. He couldn't help complaining with a wry smile: "Jianming, you are playing this game."
But it’s become a big deal. I don’t know how many pairs of eyes are staring at this place outside the hospital now.”
Su Tong didn't care. He made a cup of tea and handed it to Tang Shengzhi, "Now is a good time. It's just the right time to see which monsters and monsters will jump out. It's also the right time for us to distinguish who is a friend and who is an enemy.
"
Su Tong thought about it for a long time yesterday and felt that if the assassination was to be played out, the cooperation of Tang Shengzhi, the nominal supreme commander of Nanjing, would be indispensable. If Tang Shengzhi is willing to cooperate, he can still be given a false position in Chahar. If he does not cooperate,
If so, then just say sorry.
Fortunately, Tang Shengzhi is quite aware of current affairs. After Su Tong sacrificed Jiang Baili, a great master with the teacher-student friendship, the position of director of the Chahar Agriculture Department, and the silver power of Chief Su, Tang Shengzhi finally agreed to temporarily go to Chahar.
Let me try, that’s why the scene happened this morning.
"Brother Meng Xiao, please work hard these two days and dig out all the Japanese spies here. I will ask the iron regiment commander to send a battalion to assist you. I hope you can take this matter lightly."
Looking at Su Tong's seemingly peaceful smiling face, Tang Shengzhi knew that this was a test question that Su Tong had given him. If he messed up even this little thing, Su Tong would have no shame in staying in Chahar.
"Don't worry, Jianming, I will definitely handle this matter." Tang Shengzhi gritted his teeth and immediately walked out with his head held high, quite like Jing Ke's spirit of assassinating the King of Qin.
Su Tong looked at Tang Shengzhi's back with a smile and thought, "Tang Mengxiao, Tang Mengxiao, this is a test question I gave you. If you can complete it successfully, it doesn't matter if I offer you a position in Chahar."
You will never be able to lead soldiers in this life, but you should still be able to be a minister of agriculture. This can be regarded as compensation for me robbing you of the Nanjing Garrison Commander."
But what Su Tong didn't expect was that Tang Shengzhi was not good at fighting, but he was very good at catching thieves and spies. For two days, the whole city of Nanjing was in a state of chaos. Not to mention, he was really good at it.
The spy network I deployed in Nanjing city was broken into pieces, and dozens of Japanese spies were captured.
Such achievements made Su Tong start to look at him with admiration. Chief Su, who originally only wanted him to serve as a casualty in the Department of Agriculture, actually had plans to let him serve as the director of the police station.
After catching the person, Su Tong immediately sent out Tieniu, an expert who claimed to have 328 methods to infinitely amplify a person's pain without causing death, so that the target could confess.
Already.
Sure enough, in less than half a day, Tieniu, a generalist, placed a stack of confessions in front of Su Tong, which explained in detail the causes and consequences of Su Tong's assassination.
It turned out that the assassination of Su Tong was carried out by agents of the Mei Agency headquartered in Shanghai, and the person who gave the order was the spy chief Kenji Doihara.
For this assassination, the Mei Agency put a lot of effort into planning it. It started planning after Su Tong arrived in Nanjing, and it was not until Su Tong was invited to give a lecture at Jinling University that he prepared for nearly half a month before it was finally completed.
Looking at the confession in his hand, Su Tong murmured: "Kenji Doihara, you Hua Xia Tong must be concerned about my body now, but if you use this method to assassinate me, you have never thought about how I will retaliate against you.
Brother is not someone who gets angry easily, but he is not a human being when he gets angry."
Su Tong opened the curtains, and a cold wind suddenly blew in. Su Tong, who was unprepared, shivered immediately. Several P47s with the Blue Sky and White Sun flags and the Chahar Black Tiger logo passed by in the sky. It seemed that
The boys from the 1st Air Division are still very dedicated. I hope you will have good luck in the bombing operation in a few days.
Just wait for the surprise I will bring you in a few days. Now Ziheng and the others should be almost ready. Don't let me down. It's very hard for me to perform this cruel trick.
