"Of course it's not me." Ryono Sakamoto shook his head and said, "This is an old work by Lord Oizumi. Lord Oizumi knows that I like his paintings, so he brought them to me."
As he said that, he pointed to the seal below.
Cheng Qianfan ‘this time’ noticed the seal below, which was ‘Old Man in the Husband’.
He couldn't help but sneer in his heart. An invader who regards himself as a cultural person and regards himself as an old man in a humble house is simply a joke!
...
"This Lord Daquan, does he have such accomplishments in calligraphy and painting?" Cheng Qianfan asked in surprise.
Takaya Oizumi's painting skills are indeed good, and he can be called a master.
"Miyazaki Kwan didn't know that Lord Oizumi was a famous painter in the empire. He was not only proficient in Chinese landscape painting, but also had extremely profound attainments in Western realistic paintings." said Ryono Sakamoto, "Even my father often praised him, if Lord Oizumi specializes in calligraphy and painting, he would one day be the top painter in the empire in the empire."
"So that's it." Cheng Qianfan nodded. He held the painting and observed it carefully, and praised it repeatedly. "It is extraordinary to be proficient in both Chinese landscape paintings and Western paintings. It is amazing that Lord Daquan has such profound attainments in both."
He said to Sakamoto Ryono, "It's a pity that there was no chance to observe His Excellency Oizumi's Western paintings this time."
Cheng Qianfan showed a slightly regretful expression.
"When it comes to Western paintings, there is another anecdote to Lord Oizumi." Ryono Sakamoto really admires Takaya Oizumi, and he saw that his friends also highly praised Takaya Oizumi's paintings.
Therefore, Ryono Sakamoto was also very excited and took the initiative to talk about Takaya Oizumi's painting skills. "When Lord Oizumi was studying painting skills in France when he was young, he once painted a franc painting of equal proportions on the table in his spare time. The servants who didn't know what it was the food and put it there, so he took it out to buy vegetables."
"There is such a thing?" Cheng Qianfan raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile.
"After learning about this, he was a gentleman. He immediately found the vegetable seller himself, took the initiative to confess the misunderstanding, paid the additional vegetable bonus, and apologized." Ryono Sakamoto said in admiration, "The vendor was amazed and lamented the honesty of the Master Daizumi, and praised the painting skills of the Master Daizumi. Finally, the vendor asked the Master Daizumi to sign the franc painting and preserved it solemnly."
"Your Excellency Daquan has the style of the empire's ancestors, which is admirable." Cheng Qianfan said in admiration.
As he said that, he looked at Ryono Sakamoto, "His Excellency Oizumi has come to Nanjing this time, have you considered holding an art exhibition in Nanjing so that the ignorant Chinese people can see the style of the empire?"
As he said that, Cheng Qianfan smiled and said, "If this is the case, I should ask for a painting."
He said to Sakamoto Ryono, "I want to ask Lord Oizumi to inscription on the painting."
Cheng Qianfan pointed to the painting on the table and said, "Sakamoto, it's a pity to lose the inscriptions from Lord Oizumi."
...
"I know." Sakamoto Ryono said to his friend in a bad mood, "I am in a hurry today. Next time I will ask for the words from the Lord Daizuki."
"When it comes to art exhibitions, it is basically impossible. At least in recent years, it is unlikely. Your Excellency Oizumi is now busy with official business and has not been leaked for many years." Ryono Sakamoto said, shook his head, showing regret. "This time he is representing the Ministry of Culture, Science and Technology to visit Nanjing to inspect the education situation in Nanjing."
As he said that, he lowered his voice and said, "The Pen troops in Nanjing are not working properly, and Lord Daquan is very angry."
"So that's it." Cheng Qianfan nodded slightly, "It seems that those guys are doing a bad job in this trip from the empire."
If the Japanese soldiers were inhuman beast executioners who invaded China with weapons, the Japanese ‘pen troops’ were using their pens to distort the facts, cultural deception, and scum beasts who invaded China.
The works of these people from the "Pen Army" are entirely aimed at Japanese colonization, invasion, and extermination of China, serving the Japanese government. The text content they created is mainly based on three aspects:
Praise the bravery and tenacity of Japanese soldiers in the war of aggression against China;
To ugliness the Chinese people;
The theme is that Japan's invasion of China is just, and the Japanese side is here to rescue the ignorant Chinese, using distortion of facts, intentional acting and other means to conceal the tyranny of the war, beautify the Japanese army's aggression and killing facts.
For example, we deliberately found Chinese children and asked Japanese officers and soldiers to send candies to Chinese children and pose for photos.
Or a fire broke out somewhere, or even the fire was set on fire by the Japanese side. Then they arranged for traitors to pretend to be ordinary people, staged a scene where Japanese soldiers risked fire to rescue Chinese people, and took photos and promoted them.
Compared with the Japanese army's killing on the battlefield and the enslavement and tyranny of the people in the occupied areas, the harm their pen troops brought to the anti-Japanese war work is more hidden and confusing.
...
"That's not true." Ryono Sakamoto shook his head, "Nanjing is nominally owned by the Wang Baihai regime after all, and they sometimes cannot perform their work."
"As far as I know, the Wang regime has a lot of complaints about the implementation of Japanese teaching in Nanjing," said Ryono Sakamoto.
"It's just a puppet regime supported by the empire. What qualifications do they have to make trouble for the empire's Qianqiu cause?" Cheng Qianfan snorted coldly and said, "The empire is too indulging in the Wang regime."
"So, Lord Oizumi personally visited Nanjing as the Minister of Culture, Education and Development Planning Department of the Ministry of Culture, Science, Science, and Culture, Education and Development," said Sakamoto Ryono.
"I hope those guys from the Wang regime are more aware of each other." Cheng Qianfan snorted coldly.
At this moment, the bell on Sakamoto Ryono's desk rang, "Ryo, come here."
"Uncle Imamura called me, I'll go over." Ryono Sakamoto said, looking at Kentaro Miyazaki, "Do you want to go over with me?"
"I'll go with you." Cheng Qianfan nodded, "Since you're here, you will naturally go to see the teacher."
...
"Teacher." Cheng Qianfan bowed respectfully to Imamura Hitotaro.
"Kentaro is here." Imamura Hitotaro nodded slightly, "Is there something wrong?"
"A friend lives in the Asia Hotel. I sent my friend over and went to Sakamoto to sit down." Cheng Qianfan said.
Imamura Hitaro nodded, and he looked at Ryono Sakamoto, "Ryono, this telegram is sent to Iwai official residence immediately."
"Hai." Ryono Sakamoto took the message and hurriedly left.
"You just said that your friend lives in the Asia Hotel?" Hitotaro Imamura picked up the teacup and took a sip and asked.
"Yes, teacher." Cheng Qianfan said, and he reported the situation to Imamura Hitaro.
"Xu Yuman, on behalf of the magazine "Literary Research", came to Nanjing from Shanghai to exclusively interview Chen Nanhai." He said.
Looking at Hitotaro Imamura, Cheng Qianfan continued, "The magazine "Literary Research" is close to the empire, and their president, Mr. Zhang Xuefeng, is very supportive of the Movement for the Founding of the People's Republic of China."
"I know this situation." Imamura Hitaro nodded slightly, "Zhang Xuefeng is someone that Master Iwai admires very much."
As he said that, he glanced at Kentaro Miyazaki, "I have heard of this interview. It was Chen Nanhai who took the initiative to seek this interview."
...
After hearing what Imamura Hitaro said, Cheng Qianfan showed a thoughtful look, "What the teacher mean is Chen Nanhai moving closer to the mansion?"
"It's not a question of getting closer." Imamura Hitotaro shook his head, "It's just a routine demonstration."
As he said that, he looked at Kentaro Miyazaki, "Kentaro, when will you go back to Shanghai?"
"I should stay in Nanjing for a few more days," said Cheng Qianfan. "This trip was done by Chu Mingyu's confidant secretary. Now that the Wang regime has been established, I guess I will travel more frequently between Nanjing and Shanghai in the future."
Imamura Hitaro nodded slightly.
"Wang Baihai's officer guard regiment has been established. How much do you know about this?" Hitotaro Imamura suddenly asked.
"This officer guard regiment was formed by the backbone of the Jiangwan Central Officer Training Corps." Cheng Qianfan said, "Because I have not had any contact with the officer guard regiment for the time being and I don't know the specific situation. However, according to my estimate, some of my classmates and subordinates in the Jiangwan Officer Training Corps may have been selected into the Office Guard regiment."
"The love between classmates is very beautiful, please cherish it." said Hitotaro Imamura.
"Student understands." Cheng Qianfan said quickly. He understood what Imamura Hitotaro said.
...
Seeing Imamura Hitotaro was looking at his watch, Cheng Qianfan hurriedly said, "The teacher is busy with official duties, so the students will not disturb you."
"Well, you go." Imamura Hitotaro nodded and said, "After returning to Shanghai, I had time to take Nobuki to visit me. I haven't seen Nobuki for many days. I miss that child a little."
"Yes, teacher." Cheng Qianfan said with a smile, "That child Xinhu can make the teacher happy, and the students are very happy."
...
On the way to the Huimin Grand Hotel in Asia Hotel, Cheng Qianfan was sitting in the back seat. He lifted up the curtain of the car and looked out the window with his eyes a little free.
A hawking of candied haws awakened him.
"Haozi."
"Hey, Brother Fan."
"Buy a bunch of candied haws." Cheng Qianfan said.
"Yes, Brother Fan."
Haozi stopped the vehicle and got out.
The bodyguard vehicle then stopped. The vehicle did not turn off. The driver stayed in the car and the co-pilot did not get off. The two subordinates in the back row got off and came to Brother Fan's car, and lined up on both sides to protect Brother Fan's safety vigilantly.
Haozai bought candied haws and came back, and the two cars moved forward again.
"Brother Fan, why do you suddenly want to eat candied haws?" Haozai asked casually while driving.
"I just want to eat it." Cheng Qianfan said.
Haozi said, "Tsk, "Tsk, "Tsk, "Tsk," I can't answer this.
Cheng Qianfan ignored Haozai, and he was immersed in the memories.
Soon, the car passed by the gate of the Central Army Officer's School.
Cheng Qianfan bit off a candied haw, and his eyes passed by the school gate. The familiar plaque of the Central Army Officer's School was not there, and the familiar sentry at the door was not seen, only the Japanese sentry, the Japanese Nanjing Military Police Command, and the dazzling plaster flag!
...
Miss my third brother.
I still remember that at the turn of spring and summer six years ago, my third brother came to the Army Officer's School to see him. The two brothers were strolling on the streets of Nanjing. He suddenly wanted to eat candied haws, so he bought two.
The two young people were just eating candied haws, walking on the road while talking. They were talking about major affairs of the country, private affairs at home, thinking about beautiful visions of China's future, and worrying about worries about the situation in the fight against Japan.
After my third brother went back that day, he wrote a letter to say that after eating candied haws that day, he would have a toothache when he went back, and asked his second brother to apologize for the next time.
"Haozi."
"Hey, Brother Fan."
"I'll treat you to the pot and cover noodles tonight."
"Ah, OK, thank you Brother Fan."
...
Bang bang bang bang.
The knock on the door sounded, Xiu Yuman closed the notebook and came to the back of the door vigilantly.
"Who?"
"Xiao Xiu, it's me."
Tang Hao's voice came from outside.
"I brought you the Forget 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 Forget Eggs."
"I may not be used to forgetting eggs," Xiu Yuman closed the door casually and said with a wry smile, "But I still have to thank Editor Tang."
The two chatted for a while, and Tang Hao asked in a low voice, "Have the information been sent?"
"Send it out." Xiu Yuman nodded, "According to the agreement, a comrade should go to the dead mailbox to win the letter at this time."
For security reasons, they did not meet with comrades in Nanjing. Instead, they first issued a secret code by publishing a newspaper and then activated a high-level dead mailbox to contact Nanjing.
...
"The way to die mailbox is still too passive," Xiu Yuman said. "My idea is to meet secretly with comrades from Nanjing."
"Absolutely not." Tang Hao shook his head, "There are traitors in Nanjing. The traitors have not been eliminated yet. In fact, the way to use the dead mailbox is risky, and meeting is even more dangerous."
"I'm too anxious." Xiu Yuman took the initiative to admit his mistake.
She thought about it carefully and found that what Comrade Tang Hao said made sense.
She is the one who has the courage to admit her mistakes.
"I heard from Xiao Qin that it was Cheng Qianfan who sent you back?" Tang Hao asked.
"After sending the information out, I vaguely feel that someone is following me on the way back." Xiu Yuman said.
"Who is it? A spy? Or a Japanese?" Tang Hao asked with a serious expression.
"I don't know." Xiu Yuman said, "maybe they are spies, traitors, or they may be little bastards and three-handed ones."
"If it's three hands or something, it's okay. Because I was worried that if there was a spy stalking, I deliberately pretended to lose my wallet, and then went directly to the department store to buy clothes. In this case, if the wallet is lost, I had no money to pay, so I took the opportunity to call Cheng Qianfan's hotel and asked him to come and help me to rescue the situation." Xiu Yuman said.
She saw it clearly at that time. After seeing Cheng Qianfan bringing the bodyguard over, the sneaky stalker retreated with tactfully.
...
"How did you know that Cheng Qianfan happened to be in Nanjing?" Tang Hao asked in surprise.
"I learned from Chu Mingyu's assistant Liu Xia." Xiu Yuman said.
"Secretary Tang, here I must first actively admit my mistakes to the organization." Xiu Yuman said with a serious expression.
"What happened?" Tang Hao asked with a serious expression.
"I contacted Cheng Qianfan. In addition to using this traitor to help me relieve the siege, I also thought that this was an opportunity to get involved with Cheng Qianfan in Nanjing." Xiu Yuman said, "I did not report to you and the organization in advance for this matter."
"You did nothing wrong." Tang Hao shook his head, "At the critical moment, your decision was very decisive and agile."
"Your entire emergency response is reasonable and there is no doubt about it." He said to Xiu Yuman, "Cheng Qianfan is a close confidant of Chu Mingyu, the traitor of the Wang Baihai regime. With this person endorsing you, your safety will be guaranteed. Even if the enemy is suspicious, they will now be suspicious. If they don't do it well, they will pay more attention to Cheng Qianfan, the traitor."
"I have a relationship with Mr. Xiao Cheng in Shanghai." Tang Hao said with a smile, "I have Secretary Cheng as my backer in Nanjing."
"Is this traitor Cheng Qianfan still useful?" he said with a smile.
