"What the teacher means is, where is Chongqing?" Cheng Qianfan asked with a slight expression.
"Do you know the old story of Ninghan's union?" Imamura Hitotaro nodded and said.
"Students know that in the second year of Showa, the Wuhan National Government of Wang Baihai merged with Chang Kaishen's Nanjing National Government, so it was called the Ninghan merger." Cheng Qianfan said, with shock in his eyes, "The teacher means that Chang Kaishen's Chongqing regime may be merged with Wang Baihai regime again?"
"Why can't it?" Hitotaro Imamura asked with a smile.
"But, however, Chongqing has always held high the banner of opposing the empire. Chang Kaishen even directly ordered the Chongqing National Party to expel Wang Baihai from the party." Cheng Qianfan said, "And influenced by the teacher and taught me, I have studied the National Party and Wang Baihai. The conflict of interests between Chang Kaishen and Wang Baihai is very deep. The empire's support for Wang Baihai has made it impossible for Chang Kaishen..."
As he spoke, Cheng Qianfan's voice became weaker and weaker, revealing a look of thought.
...
"You understand now." Imamura Hitotaro nodded with relief, "The Empire did not immediately recognize the Wang Baihai regime, but was trying to win the Chang Kaishen regime."
Cheng Qianfan nodded deeply, and he asked carefully, "So, the empire has already had a secret contact with Chongqing?"
"The empire's contact with Chongqing has never stopped." Imamura Hitotaro was indifferent to the students he trusted. "At present, the Wang family is still in Nanjing, which is a kind of pressure on Chongqing. We have not publicly recognized Wang Baihai's Nanjing regime. This is also giving Chongqing the last chance, and we understand what we mean."
"I'm afraid even if the empire is willing to give Chongqing a chance, it will not be easy to merge with the Chang Kaishen regime and the Wang Baihai regime." Cheng Qianfan said with a serious expression.
"It's true." Imamura Hitaro nodded, "The two sides have had preliminary contact in Hong Kong a few days ago, and Chongqing does not recognize the conditions proposed by the empire."
As he said that, he shook his head, "But, negotiations are destined to be a long process of bargaining."
...
"Teacher, does Wang Baihai know that the empire is negotiating and contacting Chongqing?" Cheng Qianfan asked in a low voice.
"So what if you know, so what if you don't know?" Hitotaro Imamura sneered, then he took a sip of tea and said, "Of course, the empire is in the confidentiality stage of this matter so far, and Wang should not know it."
He looked at Kentaro Miyazaki, "Kentaro, this matter has been made in this house, and it cannot be rumored."
"Don't worry, teacher, Kentaro knows the importance of it." He quickly stated, "However, the empire has been dragging the undisclosed recognition of the Wang Baihai regime. Over time, Wang's side will inevitably have some doubts and speculations."
"So, the empire arranged for Yokoyama to come to Nanjing and his party to contact the Wang Baihai regime to meet with the Wang family," said Imamura Hitaro.
"Teacher, after I leave, I will report to Chu Mingyu." Cheng Qianfan said, "If you want to give me some advice on how to reply to Chu Mingyu."
"Just tell the truth." Imamura Hitotaro smiled slightly, "I personally still have a positive attitude towards the empire's early recognition of the Wang Baihai regime."
"Student understands." Cheng Qianfan showed a cunning smile on his face and nodded.
...
"Sakamoto stay here. I will be in the east in two days, so we will gather together." Cheng Qianfan said with a smile, "Just on the banks of the Qinhuai River, and we will introduce two friends to Sakamoto to know each other."
As he said that, he whispered when he shook hands with Ryono Sakamoto, "Chu Mingyu has high expectations for me, and I have to do it here, just treat it as a contact."
"No problem." Sakamoto Ryono nodded, knowing the importance of his friend's cover identity.
Seeing Kentaro Miyazaki leave in the car, Ryono Sakamoto smiled and shook his head. His friend actually had in-depth contact with him as a Chinese. No, to be precise, he had successfully entered the Wang Baihai regime and even became a confidant of the Vice President of the Executive Yuan and Foreign Minister of the Wang Baihai regime.
If it weren't for seeing it with his own eyes, he really couldn't believe it.
The more you think about Ryono Sakamoto feels the more interesting it becomes. When the war is over in the future, he will definitely surprise many people by presenting the story of Miyazaki Kun to readers in the form of a novel.
...
"Haozai, go to Confucius Temple." Cheng Qianfan said to Haozai who was driving, "The Secretary-General likes to eat eight-treasure chicken porridge in Confucius Temple."
"Yes, Brother Fan."
Cheng Qianfan sat in the back seat, and he was resting with his eyes closed.
It covered his eyes and temporarily covered his shock and indignation.
The Wang Puppet regime was established, and the Japanese invaders supported the Wang Puppet traitors to stabilize the occupied areas, shake the fighting spirit of the military and civilians across the country, and divide and win over the surrender factions. This has had a great negative impact on the national anti-Japanese situation.
At the same time, the Japanese army launched a new round of major raids in the anti-Japanese base areas of our party in the occupied areas.
At the same time, the front line of northern Hubei is ready to move and may launch a new round of attacks on northern Hubei, Yichang and Chongqing at any time. The purpose is to open up the channel of northern Hubei, advance to Chongqing, and force the Chongqing government to surrender.
It can be said that the situation of the national war of resistance was unprecedentedly severe. Under such circumstances, Chongqing actually negotiated peace with Japan in secret!
It can be imagined that once Chongqing is tempted by the Japanese and really chooses to integrate with the Wang Baihai regime and make another "Ninghan merger", it will be a nearly devastating blow to the national anti-Japanese situation. It can even be said that the Chinese nation is already in a very dangerous situation without the whole country knowing it.
This information is too important, too critical.
...
Cheng Qianfan was anxious and had to send the information out as soon as possible, report to Comrade "Farmer" and Yanzhou headquarters, and issue a warning.
Along the way, Cheng Qianfan was digesting and pondering this horrifying information.
Imamura Hitaro told him not to leak this matter.
The reason is very simple. The inducement of Chongqing and the second "Ninghan merger" was a wishful thinking from Japan, and the Wang Baihai regime was unaware of this.
In other words, the Japanese side is also very clear that the Wang Baihai regime must have been opposed from the so-called second "Ninghan merger".
Without any other reason, Wang Baihai was unwilling to be under Chang Kaishen. Wang Baihai, who has always regarded himself as the only successor of Mr. Sun, could not agree to be under Chang Kaishen again. The traitors of all sizes who followed Wang Baihai to carry out the so-called "peace movement" would not agree to hand over the rights he had finally sold the country and divide it up with Chongqing.
In fact, including Wang Baihai himself and the "low-key club" around him, as well as other traitors of all sizes, they were frustrated politicians in the original government. These people are more important than life in the rights of the puppet regime supported by the Japanese. How could they be willing to return to the past again:
Compared with the fact that some people in Chongqing have guns, the Wang regime is an empty puppet regime in its bones. Once the "Ning and Yu merge", it can be imagined that Chongqing's weight and voice in the "new regime" will be far more than theirs.
The traitors of all sizes and big traitors of the Wang Puppet Regiment were originally a group of people who betrayed the country and nation to flatter the invaders to seek personal interests. They would not give up the benefits they obtained.
The Wang regime naturally opposed the "Ningyu merger".
Cheng Qianfan lit a cigarette, he took a sip, the cigarette shone with stars, and his eyes were also flashing.
