These two people are Fang Junbi and Zeng Zhongming. They are a couple. Fang Junbi is Fang Junying's sister. After Fang Junying's death, Wang Jingwei always felt that he owed her a lot and was very kind to her family. Zeng Zhongming did have some talents.
, Wang Jingwei became even more favored, treating him as he treated his own son.
Wang Jingwei helped the two of them put down their luggage and said, "Okay, now that you are here, everyone is here. I don't think we will eat here today. Come on, let's go out to eat French food."
Chen Gongbo couldn't help but said worriedly, "Wang Gong, I'm afraid it's not safe outside."
Wang Jingwei said nonchalantly, "There are French police everywhere outside us, and this is a French colony. Even the Japanese don't dare to mess around, so don't worry."
A group of people walked out of the villa. When the French police protecting them outside heard that they were going out for dinner, they did not stop Wang Jingwei from pulling Zeng Zhongming to his side and sat in the car.
Sure enough, the journey was safe. After dinner, everyone returned to their residence. Wang Jingwei also gave up his master bedroom to Zeng Zhongming and his wife, and he and Chen Bijun went to the guest room to rest.
late at night
Several French policemen outside the villa were chatting and looking at the empty road. Being ordered to come here to protect the yellow man inside was an extremely boring job for them, although the yellow man was quite sensible and gave him a lot of money.
the benefits of.
In the corner, three or four black figures quickly sneaked up against the wall and approached a French policeman who was napping with his eyes closed.
A dark figure waved his hand, and the shadow behind him rushed behind the policeman. With a twist of his hands, the French policeman fainted without even having time to react.
"How's it going? There's no killer, right?" the black shadow asked.
"Don't worry, Mr. Chen, why don't I go in? I have experience." The black figure said.
The person known as Mr. Chen was Chen Gongshu, one of the four great kings of the military. Chen Gongshu shook his head and said, "This retreat is the most important. When should you not kill people? Wang Luqiao and Tang Yingjie, you two go in."
The hands of the two young agents were trembling with excitement. They never expected that their first mission would be such a big deal. They nodded, one used as a stool, the other climbed over the wall, and the one who got in first pulled the one behind him up.
It didn't take half a minute for the two of them to enter the villa.
"Brother Tang, do you know that big traitor's place? It's so big in here, I'm a little dizzy." Wang Luqiao said nervously.
Tang Yingjie smiled and pointed upstairs and said, "Over there, let's go."
The two sneaked into the master bedroom of the villa, and sure enough they saw two people hugging each other and sleeping soundly on the bed.
"Hit!" Tang Yingjie shouted, and the two of them opened fire together. "Bah, bang, bang," more than a dozen bullets were instantly shot into their bodies. Looking at the trembling bodies, the two of them broke out of the window and rolled over.
Another jump, quickly flipping over the wall.
Chen Gongshu outside the wall asked, "How's it going? Are you sure he killed the person in the master bedroom?"
Tang Yingjie nodded firmly and said, "Captain, don't worry. Although this is the first time to kill someone, and I don't know Wang Jingwei, I guarantee it is the master bedroom. I have studied that room thoroughly."
Chen Gongshu smiled sinisterly and said, "That's good. Let's withdraw."
Wang Jingwei stared blankly at the two corpses on the bed, which seemed to have been beaten into an ant's nest. The joy of escaping from death and the incomparable fear surged into his heart.
"Jiang Jing, it must be Jiang Jing!!" Chen Bijun shouted fiercely, "He wants to kill Mr. Wang, and there will be no one else but him."
Wang Jingwei's legs were trembling a little, and he tried his best to suppress his trembling lips and said, "What should we do? Should we escape or go back?"
Chen Gongbo sighed and said, "If it is really Chiang Kai-shek who did it, we will die if we go back. I think we have only one way to cooperate with the Japanese. I only hope that the Japanese can keep their word and abide by the treaty."
Wang Jingwei nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes, you are right. As long as the Japanese are here, their agents and Jiang will not be able to harm us, and we will be safe. Mr. Chen, please contact the Japanese. We are willing to accept their conditions."
, I want to leave Hanoi the day after tomorrow, no, tomorrow, and take their boat to Shanghai."
Chen Gongbo looked at the night outside, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go now."
--Shanghai
Nakanishi Gong took a breath of cold air. Shanghai in November was no longer warm. The port was surrounded by Japanese troops and agents. A group of neatly dressed Japanese officers and Shanghai celebrities were queuing up at the port, waiting for something. A group of
Chinese and foreign reporters kept stretching their heads outside the lines set by the Japanese army. Suddenly, one person shouted, "Coming, coming."
Isao Nakanishi turned around and saw a Japanese cruise ship slowly approaching the port under the protection of two Japanese warships.
"As soon as Wang Jingwei comes, I'm afraid half of the Chinese people will surrender." Toushan Geming stood beside him and said with a smile.
Zhongxi Gong chuckled and said, "Even if they don't surrender, I'm afraid many people will remain neutral. The Chinese love fighting among themselves. If you give them a chance to fight among themselves now, they will definitely take the bait."
Wang Jingwei looked at the grand welcome ceremony and felt extremely comfortable. When Chen Bijun, who was standing next to him, stepped off the cruise ship, she was overwhelmed by countless flashing lights and flowers. It almost made her faint from happiness. She secretly said in her heart, "Yes, that's it."
This feeling is what I want. Great, is this what the first lady feels like?"
Koiso Kuniaki stepped forward, bowed at a standard 30 degrees and said, "Mr. Wang, welcome to Shanghai, I hope we can have a happy cooperation. We have prepared a banquet, please come with me."
When Wang Jingwei saw Koiso Kuniaki being so respectful, he felt even more satisfied. He believed that the peace talks would be a great success and that he was indeed on the right path. He said to Koiso Kuniaki, "General Koiso, I see that there is something like this here."
There are so many reporters, so they must have a lot of questions, so let me say a few words."
Koiso Kuniaki thought for a while, nodded and said, "That's fine."
Wang Jingwei walked in front of the reporter, pressed his hands, and the reporter slowly became quiet.
Wang Jingwei was extremely handsome when he was young. Even now in middle age, his image and temperament are still excellent. Wang Jingwei said loudly, "Everyone, I am Wang Jingwei. I know many people have questions. Mr. Wang, aren't you the vice president of the White Party?"
?Why are you here? Have you committed treason? Oh, I understand. You, Mr. Wang, are going to be a traitor, right?"
Everyone was shocked when they heard Wang Jingwei directly say what everyone wanted to say but dared not say. Even Koiso Kuniaki didn't understand what Wang Jingwei was going to say.
Wang Jingwei continued, "I can say that I am right, or I can say that I am wrong. What is right? I do want to have peace talks with the Japanese. What is wrong? Peace talks are not about being traitors, but about seeking peace. We and the Japanese
In fact, it's like two families fighting now. Fighting is actually not difficult, but whoever stops first and says, "Friend, let's not fight, let's make peace." This is the most rare thing, and this is what I, Wang Jingwei, want to do.
of a person.”
Wang Jingwei took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth, and continued, "Some people say that peace talks are traitors to the country, but the former Prime Minister has often said that peace will save the country. If peace talks are traitors, then the Prime Minister is also a traitor? We
The war lasted for more than a year, and what was the result? One was that half of China was lost, and the other was that countless homes were burned. And then, as for the lost places, many of them were taken away by the Red Party. I can say that there is only one way to resist the war - to subjugate the country.
, there is only one way to avoid subjugation of the country, and it is a way more difficult than the war of resistance - peaceful negotiation.
Everyone, in fact, Mr. Jiang and I are both in the rear area of Chongqing. It is still very safe there. I cannot be hit by planes or bombed by artillery. If I advocate anti-Japanese resistance like Mr. Jiang, I will live very comfortably, even if one day Chongqing
Even though I was occupied, I could go to the United States, live freely in Europe, and win the title of a national hero. But here, I have to worry about my life all the time. Why did I come here? You probably don’t know.
Well, I was assassinated in Hanoi, and the sister and brother-in-law of one of my best friends died there.
So why did I risk my life to come here? Aren't I afraid that our Japanese friends would imprison me?
Because I have only one purpose - to save China!! Some people also say, isn't it true that Germany, the Soviet Union, Britain, France, and the United States support us? How could we fail?"
At this point, Wang Jingwei laughed twice and shouted loudly, "Joke! What a big joke! Germany has recognized Manchukuo. Who knows that it is disloyal to China and pro-Japanese? Britain and France have closed the ports where the Soviet Union gave us weapons and ships."
, if the Soviet Union gives us a gun, it will give ten guns to Yan'an. The Soviet Union does not want to help us, they want our country to change its color!!
And do you think these weapons are free? I might as well disclose the secret to everyone. Don’t think that you can buy arms from democratic countries if you have money. After the last League of Nations meeting, we sent a telegram to Guo Taiqi, Gu Weijun, and Wang Zhengting.
People contacted European and American countries, but in the end they got nothing. Some people told our diplomats that they have no arms sales now, and that after three years, when they are fully prepared, they will give us some. Isn't this a funny answer?
?We lost half of our country in one year. Three years later, do they want us to go to the Himalayas to fight with guns?
Roosevelt was even more funny. He said that he could sell arms to us, but in cash. Our ambassador said: China is a poor country, where can there be gold? Roosevelt said: If there is no gold, just bring silver. Ahem! Silver is not
Money??”
When Wang Jingwei said this, he covered his chest and said, "This is our environment. We in China have been abandoned. We have no way out except peace talks. I can assure you that after the peace talks, we will no longer worry about bombs falling on our heads every day."
, we can live and work in peace and contentment every day, we can not send our men and sons to the battlefield, we can once again unite as one, work hard to develop, and realize the Three People's Principles! Realize the rejuvenation of China, thank you all."
"Wow wow wow" first Chen Bijun and others and the Japanese, slowly one after another, everyone clapped. A drop of sweat slowly dripped from Zhongxi Gong's head, and he suddenly felt that this man was more powerful than the 100,000 Japanese soldiers.
Horrible, this man must die, otherwise the overall situation of national unity and resistance to Japan will be completely destroyed by this man.
——Haihongkou Liusan Garden
Wang Jingwei wiped his mouth, nodded to Oiso Kuniaki, Iwai Eiichi, Suga Hikojiro, Nakanishi Isao and others opposite him and said, "Thank you Japanese friends for the hospitality. I think we can get started."
Koiso Kuniaki smiled and said, "Don't you need to rest for a few days?"
Wang Jingwei shook his head and said, "It is a sin to continue the war for one day. I think we should do it as soon as possible."
Koiso Kuniaki nodded and said, "I will not participate in the specific negotiations. Mr. Eiichi Iwai will be fully responsible."
Eiichi Iwai stood up and bowed and said, "Please come with me, we have prepared tea in the conference room."
In the conference room, Wang Jingwei, Chen Gongbo, and Zhou Fohai sat down together. Zhongxi Gong handed them a document. Wang Jingwei looked at the "Outline of Adjustment of New Japan-China Relations" written on it. He slowly opened it, but the more he looked at it, the colder his heart became.
"This... this is blackmail!!" Wang Jingwei shouted, unable to hold his breath any longer.
Eiichi Iwai shook his head and said, "How is this blackmail? Mr. Wang, this is the decision of our Empire of Japan. As long as you are willing to accept it, we will cancel the North China Autonomous Government, the Mongolian-Xinjiang United Autonomous Government, and the Reform Government, and merge them into a unified
For your new Nanjing National Government, how can you say that our sincerity is insufficient for making such a big concession? Our imperial army exchanged hundreds of thousands of lives for the territory, and now it will be returned to you as long as you sign. Isn't this enough?
"
Wang Jingwei pointed to the treaty and shouted, "But what about the treaty that your army agreed to withdraw from our country within two years? And this, your country has the right to station military in our country and can be stationed in any area. At the same time, it also controls our country's railways and aviation
, traffic, water transportation, etc. have the right to command and supervise. Also, our military must be under the supervision and guidance of your country, and all the rights to the airspace and resource development must be ceded to your country. What is the difference between this and surrender?"
Iwai Eiichi said hey, "Of course, you don't have to sign, but Mr. Wang, if you think about the consequences of not signing, our Empire of Japan can still mobilize three million troops. By then, I'm afraid it won't be such a simple matter."
, and, Mr. Wang, think about it, this treaty can be changed. Didn’t Germany basically give everything to the Allies back then? But today, hasn’t Germany still stood up? As long as there is peace, everything is available.
possible."
Wang Jingwei shed a drop of sweat and said feebly, "Please give me some time to think about it."
As soon as Wang Jingwei and his party returned to his residence to talk about the matter, Tao Xisheng immediately said, "Wang Gong, this treaty cannot be signed. If such a treasonous treaty is signed, the Chinese nation will become eternal sinners. Wang Gong, you can announce that in
Recuperate in Shanghai or leave China. With your status, even if the Japanese do not agree with you leaving China, they cannot force you to continue working."
Wang Jingwei opened the window, blew the wind from the Huangpu River, shook his head and said, "The Japanese are right. When we deal with the situation, we must think about the big picture. Think from a distance. The signing of the Sino-Japanese treaty this time is not about temporary convenience.
We are not concerned about the convenience of one thing, but for the sake of permanent amity between China and Japan and permanent peace in East Asia. As long as there is peace, everything is possible."
Tao Xisheng wanted to say something else, but Gao Zongwu, who was standing aside, stopped him and shook his head.
Tao Xisheng turned aside, sighed, turned around and went upstairs. Gao Zongwu quickly said, "Mr. Wang, don't be angry, I'll go and persuade him." After that, he followed him upstairs.
Wang Jingwei said to Chen Gongbo, "Let's try again tomorrow. If it doesn't work, forget it. However, these treaties that are not beneficial to us must be kept in the form of secret agreements and cannot be known to others."
