Cheng Qianfan pulled open the ashtray and pressed the cigarette butt out.
He was very clear that although the Wang puppet regime must have naturally opposed the so-called "Ning and Yu merger", if Wang Baihai was kept in the dark by the Japanese, the Japanese had really reached an agreement with Chongqing after bargaining, and then the Japanese could force the Wang regime to nod.
There is nothing else, the Wang Baihai puppet regime does not have the courage to say no to the Japanese.
However, if the Wang family had learned in advance "through some channels" or through some judgment, it was confirmed that the Japanese were actually negotiating with Chongqing and were preparing to engage in the so-called "Ningyu merger", then the Wang family would definitely not sit still and wait for death.
...
Confucius Temple.
Lei's porridge shop.
Haozi got out of the car and bought two portions of Babao Chicken Porridge.
He saw Brother Fan lifting the curtain and staring at the porridge shop.
"Brother Fan, what's wrong?"
"Let's go." Cheng Qianfan said in a low tone and shook his head.
Although the signboard still has the "Lei Porridge Shop", it is no longer the shopkeeper and the client of that year.
No. 21 Yihe Road.
"What does it smell so fragrant?" Liu Xia asked, sniffing her nose.
"The Eight Treasure Chicken Porridge from Lei's Porridge Shop." Cheng Qianfan handed a food box to Liu Xia, "Give it, this is yours, Sister Xia."
"You have a conscience." Liu Xia smiled charmingly and took the food box.
"Is the Secretary-General here?"
"Here." Liu Xia nodded, "Go quickly, the Secretary-General has been waiting for you to reply."
"Okay, then I'll go there." Cheng Qianfan said with a smile.
...
When Cheng Qianfan came in, he saw Chu Mingyu practicing calligraphy.
"Strong and powerful!" Cheng Qianfan put the food box on the coffee table, came behind Chu Mingyu, observed it carefully, and couldn't help but exclaim, "No iron pen and silver hook are so."
"Uncle Chu's word is so grand, and no famous artist is so good." Cheng Qianfan sighed, "I'm afraid my nephew will have to practice for a lifetime before he can be 20% of the level of Uncle Chu."
"You, stop flattering." Chu Mingyu smiled slightly and said.
"My nephew is the heartfelt words." Cheng Qianfan smiled and said, "I devote myself to my whole life and die. This is a portrayal of Uncle Chu's hard work for the country and the people."
"The family and country are in trouble, and the people are fortunate. Uncle Chu and Mr. Wang are running for China to save the country and the difficulties." Cheng Qianfan said with emotion.
"It's just to do your best to live up to this life." Chu Mingyu put down his brush.
"Uncle Chu, I passed by Confucius Temple and bought the Eight Treasure Chicken Porridge Porridge Shop. You can try it while it's hot." Cheng Qianfan said.
Chu Mingyu nodded slightly and glanced at Cheng Qianfan. He returned to Yihe Road from Asia Hotel but did not pass by Confucius Temple. His nephew was intent.
...
"What do you say about Counselor Imamura?" Chu Mingyu asked while eating chicken porridge.
"Counselor Imamura is very respectful to Mr. Wang and his attitude towards the new regime is also positive." Cheng Qianfan said, "He has a positive attitude towards promoting Japan's early recognition of our new regime and is willing to fight for it."
"Well." Chu Mingyu nodded, "I have met Counselor Imamura many times. This person is a very visionary and has always been gentle in China."
"It is said that this person is also an expert in Japanese researching Mr. Wang's theory?" He asked Cheng Qianfan.
"It's true." Cheng Qianfan nodded, "Counselor Imamura is very grateful to Mr. Wang's peace program. He once praised Mr. Wang's peace program as a treasure theory of Sino-Japanese peace and East Asia."
"As the saying goes, "As the saying goes, "It's more helpful than the truth, but fewer help. Mr. Wang's peace program is in line with the will of the people. Naturally, Japanese friends can see it and are willing to work together for it." Chu Mingyu was in a good mood when he heard this, nodded and said.
"Can Counselor Imamura further reveal when Japan will publicly recognize my new regime?" he asked.
"I haven't said this." Cheng Qianfan said seriously, "My nephew also asked frankly, but Counselor Imamura only said that the Japanese cabinet is discussing and actively promoting it. I believe there will be good news feedback soon."
...
Hearing this, Chu Mingyu put down the spoon in his hand and fell into deep thought.
"Uncle Chu, what's wrong?" Cheng Qianfan asked, "My nephew is still quite positive in seeing the attitude of Counselor Imamura."
"You are still too young." Chu Mingyu shook his head, "My Foreign Ministry has had several contacts with the Japanese side before, and the Japanese side also said this."
As he said that, he snorted coldly, "Japanese, this is not satisfied yet, and we still want to continue to give in."
At the end of last month, after the new regime returned to Nanjing, he immediately requested Japan to publicly recognize the new regime and restore ambassador-level diplomatic relations and other matters.
The Japanese side responded, and the next day, the Japanese government appointed the "ambassador" of Abe Shin-chan's special mission to arrive in Nanjing.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs held talks with Abe, and the other party stated that the purpose of this trip was: to handle related businesses that cooperated with the "New Central Government of the Republic of China", the imperial government's diplomacy with third countries within the "Republic of China", and to conclude the Treaty of New Japan-China Relations, etc.
However, the two sides have held several rounds of negotiations since then, and the new regime has also made several concessions. However, Japan has continued to put forward new demands and has continuously postponed the public recognition of the new regime.
To this end, Mr. Wang instructed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to express his serious concern to Japan.
The Japanese side's reply was "thinking that the factual recognition, and then the opportunity to send full authority to live in the ambassador is legal recognition."
This is very meaningful.
Subsequently, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed to Japan's move to publicly recognize the new regime immediately.
Under this situation, this was the visiting delegation headed by Yokoyama Soshitaro, president of the Japan Alliance News Agency, and the Japanese Consulate General in Shanghai, Hitotaro Imamura.
...
"Uncle Chu, since we have had many rounds of talks with the Japanese side," Cheng Qianfan frowned and said, "Since it is negotiation, it is naturally bargaining, and the two sides can reach an acceptable consensus."
He looked at Chu Mingyu, "Is it because the Japanese side has repeatedly made new requests?"
"That's true." Chu Mingyu nodded, "According to the mediation memorandum of Sino-Japanese relations, the two sides have already reached a principled consensus, but the Japanese side now put forward a new requirement today and a new requirement tomorrow."
He said to Cheng Qianfan, "These requirements are not a big deal, but since new requirements are put forward, we naturally have to renegotiate and cannot accept them in full. The problem is that we have just reached a consensus with the Japanese side, and they have put forward new requirements."
Chu Mingyu said angrily that he no longer had the mood to eat porridge, so he simply pushed the food box, "I don't know what the Japanese are doing. If there is any request, I can put it all up and discuss it in full. Now it's like squeezing toothpaste."
As he said that, Chu Mingyu snorted coldly, "We have endured humiliation and made the greatest concessions. They are good at doing things hesitantly, without the elegance of a great country."
