"Mingxiang, the dean asked me to tell you something important. Shigemitsu Aoi informed Ambassador Tani Masayuki that Chairman Wang unfortunately passed away at 4:20 yesterday afternoon at the Imperial University Hospital in Nagoya, Japan."
"The Japanese government informed him and Zhou Fahai that tomorrow, on behalf of the Emperor, the Prime Minister of the Cabinet will go to the hospital to hold a farewell ceremony for Chairman Wang's body. Chairman Wang's coffin will be sent back to Jinling the day after tomorrow. He wants you to rush to Jinling immediately to attend the funeral.
Preparatory work." He Zhuoxian came to Chen Mingxiang's office and said.
Traitor Wang is dead!
Chen Mingxiang had actually been mentally prepared for this news for a long time, but he didn't expect it to happen so soon. He didn't even wait for Chen Gongbo to go to Japan.
Generously sing about Yan City, calmly serve as a prisoner of Chu. Use the sword to become a quick one, and live up to the youth!
When Wang Jingwei assassinated the regent of the Qing Dynasty, Zaifeng, and was arrested and imprisoned after the incident was leaked, he was so heroic back then. Who would have thought that now he would be a traitor that everyone reviled, and he was even named the number one traitor?
What a contrast!
Naturally, Chen Mingxiang did not dare to delay. He immediately informed Wang Zhen to send a message to the Military Command Bureau, and then quickly contacted Major General Kinoshita Sakae of the Military Police Headquarters. He arrived at Jinling on an Army Aviation transport plane. At the airport, he sat in Ma Xiaotian's car and arrived at Wang
The office of the Executive Yuan of the puppet government.
The small conference room was filled with big traitors, including Chen Gongbo, Zhou Fahai, Ren Yuandao, Liang Hongzhi, Mei Siping, Ding Mocun, Chu Minyi, etc., all members of the so-called Standing Committee of the Central Committee.
"Mingxiang is here, take a seat. Senior officials from various provinces and committee members outside have been notified and are rushing to Jinling. The content of this meeting is to determine some details of Chairman Wang's cemetery and funeral." Chen Gongbo motioned for Chen Mingxiang to take a seat.
, and then said.
"Chairman Wang has long told us that we will be buried next to the tomb of the founding father and guard the tomb for the founding father. There is no need to discuss this anymore. The address is in Meihua Mountain. Brother Mingxiang, it is up to you to contact the dispatcher for this matter
The Army General Headquarters and the Thirteenth Army requested the Japanese army to send personnel to assist." Zhou Fahai said.
"Okay, after the meeting I will go to Lieutenant General Matsui Tairo and ask him to coordinate this matter." Chen Mingxiang said cheerfully.
"As for welcoming Chairman Wang's body, Director Yazaki Kanju of the Mei Agency conveyed the request of the Japanese government. The ceremony at the airport must be grand, and the prestige of Chairman Wang must be shown on the day of the funeral. Everyone expressed their opinions,
Let’s see what is appropriate.” Chen Gongbo said.
We must not send police and puppet troops to force the people to say goodbye with bayonets. That kind of scene would ruin Wang Jingwei's reputation.
Although the Wang Puppet Government has become notorious since its establishment, it is difficult to get the people to go to the funeral on their own initiative.
"Let's do this. For the reception at the airport, we will give an order to the school and ask all students to greet him. As for the funeral day, everyone who volunteers to see off Chairman Wang will be given 20 yuan in savings coupons, which will be distributed after the funeral."
Zhou Fahai said.
Although this would be a bit embarrassing to buy people's hearts with money, there was no other good way, and everyone present unanimously agreed.
"According to the wishes of the Japanese government, the burial of Chairman Wang's body is a big event. On this day, I think all government agencies, military units, and industrial and commercial enterprises in central and northern China will have a day off to participate in memorial activities for Chairman Wang!
"Chen Gongbo suggested.
After the meeting, Chen Mingxiang immediately rushed to the headquarters of the Expeditionary Forces and paid a visit to the Chief of General Staff, Lieutenant General Matsui Tataro. Of course, Matsui Tataro fully agreed to this request, and he obviously also received instructions from the Japanese government.
In order to complete this important task as early as possible, the General Headquarters of the Expeditionary Army specially mobilized an engineer regiment of the Japanese army to start work day and night in Meihua Mountain.
On November 11, the 33rd year of the Republic of China, Japanese Prime Minister Kuniaki Oiso, former Prime Minister Hideki Tojo, former Prime Minister Konoe Fumimaro and others rushed to the Nagoya Imperial University Affiliated Hospital to hold a farewell ceremony to Wang Jingwei's body.
.
In particular, former Prime Minister Konoe Fumimaro stood silently in front of the body for more than an hour. The reason why Wang Jingwei ended up today can be said to be his own fault.
Wang Jingwei's body was transported back to Jinling by Wang Jingwei's special plane "Haijian" at nine o'clock in the morning on November 12. Prime Minister Kuniaki Koiso, Konoe Fumimaro and others went to the airport to see Wang Jingwei's body off.
The Japanese government embalmed Wang Jingwei's body and prepared the best golden nanmu coffin. When the special plane returned, it was escorted by four Zero fighter jets. The specifications were very high.
Starting from two o'clock in the afternoon, martial law was implemented at the Forbidden City Airport in the Ming Dynasty. The reception was very high and it was a huge crowd. A large number of students were forcibly arranged to be greeted at the airport. Chen Gongbo and Zhou Fahai, with a group of big traitors, were waiting beside the runway.
With.
The "ambassador" of the Japanese government in Jinling, Masayuki Tanani, led members of the embassy, Chief of Staff Matsui Tataro of the Japanese Army Expeditionary Force Headquarters, led some staff members of the general headquarters, and Yazaki Kanju, the head of the Mei Agency, led the Wang Puppet Government's military
All members of the advisory group, as well as Lieutenant General Tanaka Qin of the Thirteenth Army stationed in Jinling and some assistant officers of the 61st Division, as well as the Japanese expatriates who organized the group in Jinling, also came to the airport to welcome them. The number did not seem to be large.
few.
"Brother Mingxiang, you and I will have to worry more during this funeral!" Ren Yuandao took a cigarette from Chen Mingxiang and lit it.
One is a representative of the Wang Puppet Government's military, a powerful figure in the puppet army, and the other is the boss of the Wang Puppet Government's police system. These two people are naturally assigned to maintain order and security.
"To put it bluntly, Chairman Wang's death is equivalent to the end of an era, and the Jinling government will enter a new era. Unfortunately, although Dean Chen and Minister Zhou have taken over Chairman Wang's unfinished business, they still have heavy responsibilities.
It's a long way, and it's a bit difficult to walk on this road!" Chen Mingxiang said, leaning on the car.
Ren Yuandao belonged to the faction of the pseudo-reform government, and was on the same page as Liang Hongzhi and Chen Qun. He was at odds with Chen Gongbo's Gongguan faction and Zhou Fahai's non-Gongguan faction.
This person once studied in the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School and held the real power of the Wang Puppet Army. He always acted against the will and helped the Japanese army implement the rural clearing plan. He plundered property in occupied areas and was a complete accomplice. In the 31st year of the Republic of China,
He also went to Japan to meet with the Japanese Emperor.
"Look at this Wanlilang. He's jumping up and down and shouting. He really doesn't know whether to live or die. The current situation is quite dangerous. You and I both know very well that the Japanese are about to die. He has created such a loyal and loyal look.
Who are you showing your face to?" Ren Yuandao said with a smile.
