Chapter 1671 Cheng Qianfan, the traitor, is still useful!
"Of course not me." Sakamoto Yoshino shook his head and said, "This is an old work of Mr. Oizumi. Mr. Oizumi knew that I liked his paintings, so he specially brought it to me as a gift."
As he spoke, he pointed to the seal below.
Cheng Qianfan ‘only then noticed’ the seal below. The seal was ‘Old Man with a Humble House’.
He couldn't help but sneer in his heart, it was a joke for an invader who claimed to be a cultural man and an old man living in a humble house!
…
"Your Excellency Daquan, actually has such attainments in calligraphy and painting?" Cheng Qianfan asked in surprise.
Oizumi Takaya's painting skills are indeed outstanding, and he can already be called a master.
"Miyazaki-kun doesn't know that Mr. Oizumi is a famous painter in the empire. He is not only proficient in Chinese landscape painting, but also has extremely profound attainments in Western realistic paintings." Sakamoto Yoshino said, "Even my father often praises Oizumi.
If you specialize in calligraphy and painting, you will one day become the top contemporary painter in the empire."
"That's it." Cheng Qianfan nodded. He took the painting and looked at it carefully. He was also filled with admiration. "Chinese landscape painting and Western painting are both extraordinary. Master Daquan actually has such profound attainments in both."
, it’s really amazing.”
He said to Sakamoto Yoshino, "It's a pity that I didn't have the opportunity to view Mr. Oizumi's Western paintings this time."
Cheng Qianfan looked slightly regretful.
"Speaking of Western paintings, Oizumi-dono also has an anecdote." Sakamoto Yoshino seemed to really admire Oizumi Takaya very much. He saw that his friend also highly praised Oizumi Takaya's paintings.
As a result, Sakamoto Yoshino was also very lively and took the initiative to talk about Oizumi Takaya's painting skills. "When Mr. Oizumi was studying painting skills in France when he was young, he once hand-painted a proportional franc painting in his spare time.
On the table, the unsuspecting servant thought it was vegetable money placed there, so he took it to buy cauliflower and went out."
"Is there such a thing?" Cheng Qianfan raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile.
"Your Excellency Oizumi later learned about this. He is a gentleman. He immediately went to the vegetable seller in person, confessed the misunderstanding, paid the additional fee for the vegetable, and apologized." Sakamoto Yoshino said with admiration, "The merchant was very surprised.
I sighed at Mr. Daquan's honesty and at the same time praised Mr. Daquan's painting skills. Finally, the vendor asked Mr. Daquan to sign the franc painting and solemnly preserved it."
"Your Excellency Daquan has the style of an imperial sage, which is admirable." Cheng Qianfan was filled with admiration and said with admiration.
As he said that, he looked at Sakamoto Yoshino and said, "When Mr. Oizumi comes to Nanjing this time, have you considered holding an art exhibition in Nanjing to let the ignorant Chinese people see the elegance of everyone in the empire?"
As he spoke, Cheng Qianfan smiled and said, "If that's the case, I'll go and buy a painting."
He said to Sakamoto Yoshino, "I would like to ask Mr. Oizumi to write an inscription on the painting."
Cheng Qianfan pointed to the painting on the table and said, "Sakamoto-kun, it is such a pity that the inscription by Mr. Oizumi is missing."
…
"I know." Sakamoto Yoshino said to his friend in an annoyed manner, "Oizumi-dono came in such a hurry today, I will ask for help from Oizumi-dono next time."
"Speaking of art exhibitions, it is basically impossible, at least not in recent years. Mr. Oizumi is currently busy with official duties, and no paintings have been released for many years." Sakamoto Yoshino said, shaking his head, showing regret.
Color, "This time he came to Nanjing on behalf of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology to inspect the education situation in Nanjing."
As he spoke, he lowered his voice and said, "The pen troops in Nanjing are not doing their job well, and Mr. Daquan is very angry."
"That's it." Cheng Qianfan nodded slightly, "It seems that those guys did a really bad job to allow Mr. Daquan to make this hard trip from the empire."
If the Japanese soldiers are inhumane beast executioners who use weapons to invade China, the Japanese "pen troops" are scum beasts who use their pens to distort facts, deceive culture, and invade China.
The works of these "pen troops" are entirely for the purpose of Japan's colonization, occupation, and extermination of China, and serve the Japanese government. The text content they create mainly focuses on three aspects:
Praise the bravery and tenacity of Japanese soldiers in the war of aggression against China;
vilify the Chinese people;
The theme is that Japan's invasion of China was just, and Japan came to rescue the ignorant Chinese people. They used methods such as distorting facts and deliberately acting to cover up the brutality of the war and beautify the Japanese invasion and killings.
For example, Chinese children were deliberately recruited, and Japanese officers and soldiers were asked to give candies to the Chinese children and pose for photos.
Or there was a fire somewhere, or even the fire was set by the Japanese, and then they arranged for traitors to pretend to be ordinary people, stage a drama of Japanese soldiers risking fire to rescue Chinese people, and take photos for publicity.
Compared with the killings of the Japanese army on the battlefield and the enslavement and brutality of the people in the occupied areas, the harm caused by their pen troops to the anti-war work was more hidden and more confusing.
…
"That's not the case." Sakamoto Yoshino shook his head, "Nanjing now nominally belongs to the Wang Reclamation regime, and sometimes they can't do their best in their work."
"As far as I know, there are quite a few complaints within the Wang regime about the implementation of Japanese teaching in Nanjing," Sakamoto Yoshino said.
"It's just a puppet regime supported by the empire. What qualifications do they have to dictate the empire's great cause." Cheng Qianfan snorted coldly and said, "The empire is too conniving with the Wang regime."
"Therefore, Lord Oizumi came to Nanjing in person as an important minister of the Cultural and Educational Facilities Planning Department of the Imperial Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology," Sakamoto Yoshino said.
"I hope those guys from Wang's regime know better." Cheng Qianfan said with a cold snort.
At this time, the bell on Sakamoto Yoshino's desk rang, "Yoshino, come here."
"Uncle Imamura called me, I'll go over there." Sakamoto Yoshino said, he looked at Miyazaki Kentaro, "Miyazaki-kun, do you want to come with him?"
"I'll go with you." Cheng Qianfan nodded, "Since I'm here, I naturally want to see the teacher."
…
"Teacher." Cheng Qianfan bowed respectfully to Imamura Hyoutarou.
"Kentaro is here." Imamura Hyoutarou nodded slightly, "But is there something?"
"A friend was staying at the Asia Hotel. I sent my friend over and went to Sakamoto-kun's place to sit for a while," Cheng Qianfan said.
Hyōtaro Imamura nodded and looked at Sakamoto Ryōno, "Ryono, this message will be sent to Iwai's residence immediately."
"Hai." Sakamoto Yoshino took the message and left in a hurry.
"Did you just say that your friend stayed at the Asia Hotel?" Hyōtaro Imamura took a sip from his tea cup and asked.
"Yes, teacher." Cheng Qianfan said, and he reported the situation to Hyōtaro Imamura.
"Xiu Yuman represents Literary Research magazine and came to Nanjing from Shanghai to interview Chen Nanhai exclusively," he said.
After glancing at Hyōtaro Imamura, Cheng Qianfan continued, "Literary Research magazine is close to the empire, and their president, Mr. Zhang Xuefeng, is very supportive of the Xingya nation-building movement."
"I know this situation." Hyōtaro Imamura nodded slightly, "Zhang Xuefeng is a person that even Mr. Iwai admires very much."
As he said that, he glanced at Kentaro Miyazaki and said, "I have heard about this interview. It was Chen Nanhai who took the initiative to seek this interview."
…
Hearing what Hyōtaro Imamura said, Cheng Qianfan looked thoughtful, "What do you mean, teacher, is Chen Nanhai moving closer to the mansion?"
"We can't talk about getting closer." Hyōtaro Imamura shook his head, "It's just a customary gesture of goodwill."
As he spoke, he looked at Kentaro Miyazaki and said, "Kentaro, when will you return to Shanghai?"
"I should stay in Nanjing for a few more days." Cheng Qianfan said, "I came to Nanjing on business as Chu Mingyu's trusted secretary, and now that the Wang regime has been established, I guess I will visit more frequently in the future.
Between Nanjing and Shanghai.”
Hyōtaro Imamura nodded slightly.
"Wang Kehai's officer guard corps has been established. How much do you know about this?" Imamura Hyoutaro suddenly asked.
"This officer guard corps is formed based on the key officers of the Jiangwan Central Officer Training Corps." Cheng Qianfan said, "Because I have no contact with the officers and guards corps for the time being, I don't know the specific situation. However, according to
I estimate that some of my classmates and subordinates in the Jiangwan Officer Training Corps may have been selected into the Officer Guard Corps."
"The friendship between classmates is very beautiful, you should cherish it." Hyoutarou Imamura said.
"Student understands." Cheng Qianfan said quickly, he understood what Hyoutarou Imamura meant.
…
Seeing Hyōtaro Imamura checking the time on his watch, Cheng Qianfan hurriedly said, "Teacher is busy with official duties, so the students won't disturb him."
"Well, you go ahead." Hyōtaro Imamura nodded and added, "After returning to Shanghai, you can take Nobutora to visit me when you have time. I haven't seen Nobutora for several days, and I miss the child a little."
"Yes, teacher." Cheng Qianfan said with a smile, "That kid Xinhu can please the teacher, and the students are very happy."
…
On the way back to Minsheng Hotel from Asia Hotel, Cheng Qianfan sat in the back seat. He raised the car curtain and looked out the window, his eyes a little wandering.
The sound of candied haws hawking woke him up.
"Haozi."
"Hey, Brother Fan."
"Buy a bunch of candied haws on a stick." Cheng Qianfan said.
"Yes, Brother Fan."
Hao Zai stopped the vehicle and got out of the car.
The bodyguard vehicle that followed also stopped. The vehicle did not turn off. The driver stayed in the car and the co-pilot did not get out of the car. The two men in the back got out of the car and came to Brother Fan's car. They lined up on the left and right.
Side, vigilantly protect Brother Fan's safety.
Hao Zai came back from buying candied haws on a stick, and the two cars started moving forward again.
"Brother Fan, why do you suddenly want to eat candied haws on a stick?" Hao Zai asked casually while driving.
"I just want to eat it," Cheng Qianfan said.
Haozi, tut, tut, tut, you can't take these words anymore.
Cheng Qianfan ignored Hao Zai, he was immersed in memories.
Soon, the car passed the gate of the Central Army Military Academy.
Cheng Qianfan bit into a candied haws, and his eyes passed by the school gate. The familiar plaque of the Central Army Officers School was not there, nor was the familiar sentry at the door. There were only Japanese sentries, and the sign of the Japanese Nanjing Military Police Headquarters.
And that dazzling plaster flag!
…
I miss my third brother.
I still remember that at the turn of spring and summer six years ago, my third brother came to visit him at the Army Officer Academy. The two brothers were walking on the streets of Nanjing. He suddenly wanted to eat candied haws, so he bought two.
The two young people just ate candied haws on a stick and walked on the road while talking. They talked about important matters of the country and the family, and they talked about private matters at home. They were thinking about the beautiful longing for China's future, and they were worried about the situation against Japan.
After the third brother went back that day, he wrote back a letter saying that he had a toothache after eating candied haws that day and asked the second brother to treat him to pot noodles next time to apologize.
"Haozi."
"Hey, Brother Fan."
"I'll treat you to pot noodles tonight."
"Ah, okay, thank you Brother Fan."
…
Bang bang bang.
There was a knock on the door, Xiu Yuman closed her notebook and came to the door cautiously.
"Who?"
"Xiao Xiu, it's me."
Tang Hao's voice came from outside.
"I brought you the forgotten eggs." Tang Hao said with a smile, "I originally planned to bring live beads, but I thought you might not dare to eat them, so I brought the forgotten eggs."
"I might not be able to get used to eating forgotten eggs." Xiu Yuman closed the door and said with a wry smile, "But I still have to thank Editor Tang."
The two chatted for a while, and Tang Hao lowered his voice and asked, "Has the information been sent out?"
"Sent it out." Xiu Yuman nodded, "According to the agreement, a comrade should go to the dead mailbox to pick up the letter at this time."
For security reasons, they did not meet with their comrades in Nanjing. Instead, they first sent out a coded message in the newspaper and then used a high-level dead mailbox to get in touch with the Nanjing side.
…
"The mailbox method is still too passive." Xiu Yuman said, "My idea is to meet with the comrades in Nanjing secretly."
"Absolutely not." Tang Hao shook his head, "There is a traitor here in Nanjing, and the traitor has not been eliminated yet. In fact, using the dead mailbox is risky, and meeting him is too dangerous."
"I was too eager." Xiu Yuman took the initiative to admit his mistake.
She thought about it carefully and realized that what Comrade Tang Hao said made sense.
She is someone who is brave enough to admit her mistakes.
"I heard from Xiao Qin that Cheng Qianfan sent you back?" Tang Hao asked.
"After sending the information, I vaguely felt someone was following me on my way back," Xiu Yuman said.
"Who is he? A spy? Or a Japanese?" Tang Hao asked with a serious expression.
"I don't know." Xiu Yuman said, "Maybe it's a spy, a traitor, or maybe it's the little Zha San and the Three Hands."
"It would have been better if it had three hands or something. Because I was worried about being followed by spies, I had an idea and deliberately pretended to have lost my wallet, and then went directly to the department store to buy clothes. In this case, I lost my wallet and didn't have to pay.
I took the opportunity to call the hotel where Cheng Qianfan was staying and asked him to come over and help me out," Xiu Yuman said.
She saw it clearly at the time. After seeing Cheng Qianfan coming with his bodyguards in high spirits, the sneaky stalker retreated wisely.
…
"How did you know that Cheng Qianfan happened to be in Nanjing?" Tang Hao asked in surprise.
"I learned this from Chu Mingyu's assistant Liu Xia," Xiu Yuman said.
"Secretary Tang, here I must first take the initiative to admit my mistakes to the organization." Xiu Yuman said with a serious expression.
"What happened?" Tang Hao asked with a serious face.
"I contacted Cheng Qianfan. In addition to using this traitor to rescue me, I also thought that this was an opportunity to get involved with Cheng Qianfan in Nanjing." Xiu Yuman said, "I did not inform you or the organization about this matter in advance.
Report to the police for instructions."
"You did nothing wrong." Tang Hao shook his head, "At the critical moment, your decision was decisive and astute."
"Your entire emergency response is very reasonable and there is no doubt about it." He said to Xiu Yuman, "Cheng Qianfan is a confidant of Chu Mingyu, the traitor of Wang Quanhai's regime. With this person's endorsement, your safety is guaranteed.
Even if the enemy has suspicions, they will now become more suspicious and may pay more attention to the traitor Cheng Qianfan."
"I have a relationship with 'Mr. Xiao Cheng' in Shanghai." Tang Hao said with a smile, "In Nanjing, I have Secretary Cheng as my backer."
"Cheng Qianfan, the traitor, is still useful." He said with a smile.
