For a time, the Japanese media began to promote various wonderful scenes after Zhou Weiguo joined Japan. Some foreign media even began to analyze how the Sino-Japanese battlefield would go if Zhou Weiguo joined Japan.
Even some Japanese spies are in action, telling how Zhou Weiguo is now pro-Japanese.

"Humph, that's nonsense." Zhou Jixian slapped the newspaper on the table and said angrily.
"Of course it's nonsense!" Uncle Fu hurriedly added, "Sir, the devil's plan is really too vicious! They are trying to harm the young master!"
"I didn't expect that the Japanese would actually deal with Weiguo like this." Zhou Jixian touched his chin, with a cold look in his eyes. He and his beloved wife only have one son, Zhou Weiguo. Although they are usually strict with Zhou Weiguo, deep down, they actually love him very much.
, "Tell us shops in Jiangsu to burn all the Japanese goods in the store."
"Yes!" Uncle Fu turned around and left, but then turned back and said, "Sir, that will cost a lot of money!"
"How can a little money be compared with my son? Go ahead."
"good."
…
"Is this? Is it true? Is General Zhou really going to fall to the Japanese?" In a restaurant, a commoner asked, not knowing what was going on.
"It's pointless! General Zhou is definitely not that kind of person!"
"Is everything in the newspaper false? If one newspaper can make lies, can so many newspapers make lies?"
…
Subsequently, almost at the same time, the Chongqing government and several newspapers controlled by Yan'an began to publish articles to speak out for Zhou Weiguo.
"The Japanese army used Yang to plot rebellion and wanted to force Commander Zhou Weiguo into the Japanese camp!"
"The Japanese army wants to use evil tactics to plot against our Chinese generals!"
"Count in detail the achievements of my division commander Zhou Weiguo, China's youngest lieutenant general, in resisting Japan!"
…
"Okay! This is a good idea!" A middle-aged man in a long coat stood up, holding a newspaper, and said excitedly, "I want to remind you that Zhou Weiguo, a great Chinese man, led half a brigade of recruits to guard Guanghua during the Battle of Nanjing.
Gate, killing and wounding more than 10,000 Japanese soldiers. In the Battle of Xuzhou, Zhou Weiguo's independent division headquarters defeated the Japanese 5th, 10th, and 13th divisions in Linyi, and demanded 10 million silver dollars from the Japanese army for the corpses of Japanese sergeants. Later Zhou Weiguo
The headquarters of the Independent Division was attacked by Japanese poison gas bombs, and the entire army was almost wiped out. After Zhou Weiguo led the remaining troops to the Laiyang area of Shandong Province, he incorporated Qingfeng Village, trained troops to strengthen the country, and recovered Laiyang, Laixi, Haiyang and other areas. In the past two years,
In the battle of Ci Laiyang, nearly 100,000 enemies were wiped out! In ancient times, there was a champion prince who could ride eight hundred miles at a time, and he sealed the wolf as his subordinate. Now there is Zhou Weiguo!"
"Therefore, General Zhou and Master Zhou will never surrender to the enemy!"
"Yes, the Japanese army is completely playing tricks!"
"Come, listen to this! It's written by someone who knows General Zhou! When General Zhou retreated from the battlefield in Songhu, he met Lao Jun's father. The old father said to him, when the Japanese pirates have been driven away for a long time, my son will return home.
!General Zhou Weiguo kowtowed to his father three times, bursting into tears, and then continued to devote himself to the defense of Nanjing!"
"How could a proud man like General Zhou surrender to the Japanese!"
"That's right!"
…
February 1, 1939, Laiyang.
"Brother Yuan, how are you?" Xiao Ya asked Liu Yuan. She also knew about the Japanese telegram, and Liu Yuan gave her a powerful analysis of it.
"Our people in the Laiyang area are all fine, but I heard that some people in other places believe in Weiguo, and some don't." Liu Yuan sighed, "The devils are indeed good at playing tricks. This matter, among the people,
A seed of doubt was planted in our hearts.”
"It's indeed hateful." Xiao Ya said, "Have you contacted Weiguo?"
"We've contacted him, he should be back soon," Liu Yuandao said.
"Um."
"Xiao Ya, you go and have a rest first. I will have a meeting with other comrades to discuss it again."
"good!"
…
"County Magistrate Chen, County Magistrate Zhang, County Magistrate Li." Liu Yuan said to Chen Yi, Zhang Renjie, and Li Gansu, "The purpose of the devil's plan this time is to destroy the image of Weiguo in the hearts of the people. Therefore, Laiyang,
The three county magistrates of Laixi and Haiyang must do a good job and must not allow the Japanese to attack us from within."
The three of them nodded.
"Also, I wonder if the county magistrates have any difficulties during their work?" Liu Yuan asked.
Zhang Renjie pushed up his glasses, then coughed and said, "Comrade Liu Yuan, I have some doubts here."
"County Magistrate Zhang, please speak."
"That's right. When I started working in Laixi, I found that many people were forced to plant seeds provided by the independent division. But the people were doubtful about this." Zhang Renjie said.
Liu Yuan smiled and said, "We will know when the people have a harvest next year. The seeds provided by the independent division are definitely seeds for a bumper harvest and increased production. Please rest assured, County Magistrate Zhang."
"That's good. Also, the soldiers of the Independent Division are now responsible for the security maintenance work in the three places." Zhang Renjie said, "But in fact, the soldiers of the Independent Division have a more important job, which is to guard Lai River.
Yang, dealing with the Japanese, so I wondered if we could re-establish the police stations in the three areas to maintain public order. This would free up the work of the soldiers of this part of the independent division, and also better increase the defense of our base area."
Liu Yuan nodded. Before, Zhou Weiguo secretly controlled Laiyang and other places without touching the police station. However, after being exposed, he directly implemented military control and disbanded the previous group of police officers who worked for the devils. Now, indeed, the security of the three places has taken over.
With a large number of troops, Zhang Renjie's suggestion is still feasible. Then he said, "We can discuss this matter after Commander Zhou comes back. Personally, I think it is still feasible. Think about it, Commander Zhou will also
I will consider it carefully.”
Zhang Renjie smiled and nodded. He was a little opposed to coming to Laiyang area to be the county magistrate at first. Until he came, he found that the lives of the people here were actually quite 'affluent'. Most of the people's homes,
Women can work in textile factories, and men can work in steel factories. People even raise chickens, ducks, geese and other poultry in their homes. This kind of life is much better than that of people in other areas. He really admires Zhou Weiguo for this from the bottom of his heart.
But he didn't believe Zhou Weiguo very much. Because Zhou Weiguo was a member of the Kuomintang. The entire independent division was a Kuomintang army. But strangely, a Kuomintang officer actually invited their Communists to govern the place. Therefore, he had no confidence in Zhou Weiguo.
, is very curious.
…
February 2, 1939, Tianjin.
When he came to Tianjin, Zhou Weiguo wanted very much to catch Takeshita Jun and beat him up, but he held back.
He bought a tavern in the center of Tianjin at a high price, and then changed its name to a sake tavern. He continued to hire the Japanese chef of the original tavern. Then he left Chen Teng in Tianjin. While Ouyang was still in Jilin, after Ouyang recovered from his injury,
He will go directly to Tianjin to work as Chen Teng's assistant.
"Master, don't worry, I will guard it well." Chen Teng said seriously.
"Well. Don't rush to find out the information. First, stand firm in this tavern." Zhou Weiguo patted Chen Teng on the shoulder and said, "I'll leave it to you here."
