"The day before yesterday, Chu Mingyu took me to Yuyuan Road to meet Wang Baihai." Cheng Qianfan said. He paused and looked at Imamura Hitotaro. He confirmed that Imamura Hitotaro had nothing to ask, so he continued, "I followed a little far behind Wang Baihai's conversation with Chu Mingyu. Wang Baihai seemed to be a little excited, well, it seemed more angry."
"It's not surprising that he was angry." Hitotaro Imamura shook his head, "The negotiation between Kagesako and Wang Baihai on behalf of the Empire has reached the final stage. Maybe he is not satisfied with many terms, but he can only choose to accept it."
"A utopian, without any strength in his hands, actually wanted the Empire to spit out the fat meat that had already been eaten into his stomach. It was simply a delusion." Cheng Qianfan snorted coldly, with a lot of contempt in his words, "This person's Zheng Zhi's level is far worse than Chang Kaishen."
Imamura Hitaro smiled. For the empire, Wang Baihai had a very high reputation in the Chinese Kuomintang. In many people's opinion, the influence of Wang in the national party was even higher than that of Chang Kaishen. However, such a person is actually weak in character and has many fantasies about Zheng Zhi. He is actually a good puppet given to the empire by God.
"Wang Baihai's impression of me is getting better and better, and he even gave me a picture of it." Cheng Qianfan said with a smile.
"What's the word?" Imamura Hitaro asked curiously.
"The Party and the State are in charge of the city." Cheng Qianfan said, with a smile of smugness and contempt on the corner of his mouth, and then the smile finally expanded into a haha laugh.
"Hahaha, interesting, interesting." Hitotaro Imamura also laughed, but he was eating fish and was almost stuck with a fish bone.
"Teacher, be careful of fish bones." Cheng Qianfan was also shocked.
He really doesn't want something wrong with Teacher Imamura.
Imamura Hitaro is an important source of information, and at the same time, Imamura teacher is also one of his important backers, and even the most reliable backers.
...
"Wang Baihai was being interviewed at that time," said Cheng Qianfan. "Mr. Wang praised the efforts and achievements he made on the road to peace to reporters."
"Which newspaper?" asked Imamura Hitaro.
"Shanghai Daily News and China Daily," said Cheng Qianfan.
"The China Daily is very useful to the empire. You should take more care of it in the French Concession." said Hitotaro Imamura.
Cheng Qianfan nodded, "The China Daily has aroused boycott from the citizens of the French Concession. If I had not arranged someone to take care of him secretly, newspaper boys would not dare to sell their newspapers."
In the middle of the year, Lin Bosheng returned to Shanghai from Hong Kong Island to "support Mr. Wang's peace cause". This person brought back the team of his newspaper Nanhua Daily on Hong Kong Island, and republished the China Daily in Shanghai. He also regarded this as the official newspaper of the Wang puppet regime in the future. In addition, Lin Bosheng also presided over the establishment of some other newspapers for traitors and traitors.
Among them, "Shanghai Daily News" is actually one of the traitor newspapers guided by Lin Bosheng.
Japan has fully released Lin Bosheng's newspapers and has invested a lot of money to search for newspaper personnel with unstable will.
Whether it is Wang Baihai or the Japanese, they do not expect the newspapers controlled by Lin Bosheng to make money. They mainly promote Wang Baihai's peaceful route and promote the so-called friendship and prosperity of Japan-China.
In fact, Lin Bosheng's newspapers sold only five or six hundred copies per day in the concession, and this sales were bleak. You should know that the concession had a population of nearly two million at this time.
Many of the people who buy newspapers are not even supported by Wang Jingwei. Some people bought them out of curiosity, and some people bought them because the newspaper is cheap and even gave them for free. They took them home to wipe their butts and paste the windows.
The publicity failed to achieve the desired effect, Lin Bosheng found Dingmutun and Li Cuiqun, and used bloody spies to coerce newspaper workers in the concession to join in.
Regarding the disobedient newspaper editors, the 76th began to arrest, force and assassinate. For a while, the Shanghai newspaper industry was filled with blood and wind and panic.
Lin Bosheng's terrifying methods, even the official newspaper staff of the pseudo-Shanghai Avenue Municipal Government, felt frightened and sighed: "Life is inferior to dogs in troubled times, and I feel more and more confident."
"Fight for one's own country, peace for one's own country, save the country peacefully, and the people's will." This is Wang Baihai's fallacy of traitoring the country, and it is also the idea that the Chinese Daily has been promoting. In order to embellish Wang Jingwei's traitoring behavior, Lin Bosheng can be said to have tried his best, running around and boasting without any effort.
...
"Lou Hanru, a reporter from Shanghai Daily News, made an appointment for my visit." Cheng Qianfan carefully used chopsticks to help Imamura Hitotaro remove fish bones, and said.
"Interview with you?" Imamura Hitaro was a little surprised. "When? Which aspect of the interview?"
"Just this morning, I've been interviewed." Cheng Qianfan said, "About the European wars, and the impact of European wars on the Far East, on Shanghai, especially the French Concession."
"Is there a problem?" Hitotaro Imamura asked, keenly capturing Kentaro Miyazaki's facial expression.
"Yes." Cheng Qianfan nodded, "That Lou Hanru seemed very interested in the war between Soviet Russia and Finland. He guided the topic on the war between Soviet and Finland many times."
Cheng Qianfan picked up the handkerchief and naturally helped Hitotaro Imamura wipe the tomato juice from the corner of his mouth. Then he continued, "What surprised me the most was that this person asked me what I think about red?"
"Hmm?" Imamura Hitaro's expression became serious, "Do you suspect this person is the Red Party?"
This reporter was a newspaper staff close to the empire and even had access to Wang Baihai. If this reporter was a Red Party, the nature of this matter would be very bad.
"It's hard to say." Cheng Qianfan shook his head, "This person doesn't seem to like Red in his words. He thinks it's unjust to Soviet Russia first divide Poland with Germany, and now invade Finland."
He frowned slightly, and after careful consideration, he added, "Of course, it is not ruled out that this person did it on purpose to conceal his political attitude."
As he said that, Cheng Qianfan took out the photo from his body and handed it to Hitotaro Imamura. "Peter from the Political Department's investigation team misunderstood that I had a tryst with a woman in the office. He made a prank and broke in and took a photo."
"I asked someone to wash out the photos urgently," he said.
...
"This person is Lou Hanru." Cheng Qianfan pointed to the photo and said to Imamura Hitotaro.
Imamura Hitaro focused on the photos, while Cheng Qianfan focused on the expression of Imamura Hitaro.
Then, Cheng Qianfan noticed that Imamura Hitotaro looked at the photo, and his facial expression was slightly surprised. Then he looked at the photo carefully, and the surprise turned into a soothing and relieved.
"This person is not a Red Party." Hitotaro Imamura smiled and looked at his student's surprised expression, he added, "It's not a red follower either."
"The teacher recognizes this person?" Cheng Qianfan thought, as if he had some insight, and couldn't help asking.
