Before going to Japan, Wang Jingwei rarely appeared in person except for interviews with more important figures.
Zhou Fohai is responsible for all negotiations with Japan. Only Zhou Fohai, Chu Minyi, Mei Siping, Tao Xisheng, Gao Zongwu, Lin Baisheng, Li Shengwu, Chen Chunpu and others were convened to hold two or three cadre meetings in their apartments every week.
But since formal contact with Japan, the problem has become increasingly complicated. The organization, name, authority, national flag of the new government, as well as its handling of the "restoration" and "provisional" North and South regimes, etc., are very far from Japan and the North and South regimes, so he has to deal with some issues. Show up in person.
In fact, this is the real reason why Young Master Chen was turned away, because Wang Jingwei, Zhou Fohai, Mei Siping, and Ying Zuo were meeting in the living room on the second floor with Liang Hongzhi, the "Executive President" of the Nanjing Reform Government, Chen Qun, the "Minister of Internal Affairs", "Minister of Appeasement" Ren Yuandao, and their backer - Lieutenant General Harada Yukichi, Liaison Director of the Central Expeditionary Forces Headquarters and Advisor to the Reform Government.
"The meeting of the Five Prime Ministers of the Japanese Cabinet has decided that the name of the Restoration Government cannot be retained, which is meaningless. However, I do not agree with the merger method and advocate the merger method, that is to say, the Executive Yuan and various ministries of the Restoration Government It cannot be abolished and should be enriched on the basis of it to make it more complete and sound. For example, there is still a shortage of ministers of finance and foreign affairs, and appropriate candidates must be found"
Liang Hongzhi spoke in authentic Fujian Changle dialect. He was born in the same year as Wang Jingwei, but he looked much older than Wang Jingwei, as if he was an old man in his late teens.
Looking at his eloquent expression, Wang Jingwei recalled a couplet in Shanghai's "China-US Evening News" in late March last year, just a few days after the establishment of the reform government, condemning him as a traitor: Meng Guang beheaded his concubine, Liang Hongzhi was short-lived; Song Jiang lost the battle, and Wu used his power to eliminate it. Although the dialogue is not neat, it clearly expresses the satire of his lack of national integrity. Maybe he would be ridiculed like this in the future. Thinking of this, Wang Jingwei felt extremely sad.
Today is the second meeting, and the central content is still to abolish the Nanjing Reform Government. Liang Hongzhi¡¯s implication is very clear that the new government must be based on the Reform Government, and he, Liang Hongzhi, must also be the Executive President.
It¡¯s no wonder that after graduating from the Capital University, Liang Hongzhi spent more than thirty years in politics, but he only served as a counselor of the Beiyang Government¡¯s Legal Affairs Bureau, a member of the Senate, and the secretary-general of the ruling government. With great difficulty, he became a full-time official with the support of the Japanese. The "Executive Yuan" who is only three months old and looks up to others everywhere is still considered the head of the government. How can he bear to lose this black gauze hat?
Of course Wang Jingwei would not agree, but he could not refuse outright at the risk of falling out, so he did not comment and let others continue to speak.
Unsurprisingly, Chen Qun and Ren Yuandao supported Liang Hongzhi. Even their Supreme Emperor Harada Yukichi said in a praising tone: "Mr. Liang is knowledgeable, rich in political experience, calm and decisive in dealing with things. He is a rare politician and politician in the contemporary era." Strategist, Mr. Wang, I recommend him to be the executive president of the new government.¡±
Wang Jingwei felt a chill in his heart. He gave Yingzuo Zhenzhao a meaningful look, forced a smile and said: "Brother Zhong Yi (Liang Hongzhi's nickname) will be the executive president of the new government. I personally agree, but I have to discuss it with you." Negotiate effectively with the Chinese government and listen to their opinions.¡±
"As for whether the reform government should be merged, reorganized, or cancelled? I think it should be canceled according to the resolution of the Five Prime Ministers Conference." Yingzuo undoubtedly stood on Wang Jingwei's side and faced Harada with a smile, "Your Excellency, General, What do you think?"
This Harada is not the other Harada. Although his military rank is much higher than that of Master Chen's senior, and he even served as division commander, due to the different nature of his work, he is far less well-informed and policy-savvy than the head of the secret service who "entered the army" Harada. Kage Sa's attitude was so resolute that Lieutenant General Harada directly believed that this was the general trend and had to say calmly: "I agree to cancel it, but proper arrangements must be made for other officials of the Restoration Government."
"Of course, of course," Wang Jingwei nodded repeatedly, "As for who will hold what position, we will discuss it in detail later. In short, we will not treat everyone badly."
Neither side of the talks achieved what they expected and broke up unhappy.
Wang Jingwei, Zhou Fohai and Mei Siping had just returned from seeing off the traitors of the reform government and the Japanese, when they saw Chen Bijun standing angrily at the door, with one hand on his waist and the other holding a funding application, asking in a stern tone: "Fourth brother, what are you doing?" Why hasn't Jizu's application been approved? It's been six days, and nearly 2,000 people are waiting for the rice to be cooked, and I don't even care.?I mean I won¡¯t answer the phone again. "
He was already in a bad mood. Besides, Wang Jingwei would not agree to the request for 360,000 yuan. Pointing to the bungalow where Ye Peng and other old warlords worked, he said, "Everything must have a regulation. If everyone doesn't follow the procedures like him, If you just ask me for money, is it necessary to set up a military committee? Bingru, I can¡¯t sign this, and I can¡¯t open this case.¡±
He just wanted money by throwing the roster of officers and soldiers and the list of arms to be purchased. Ye Peng, who didn't have much money on hand, not only strongly opposed it, but even pointed at the long list on the roster in front of Wang Jingwei and Zhou Fohai. The list of school officials accused Mr. Chen of nepotism.
The housekeeper and the gentleman on the counter became deputy colonels, the wives became major division chiefs, and even the two sons of the housekeeper became majors. Under the strong opposition of their group of veteran soldiers, this matter has been resolved on Yuyuan Road one by one. Sanliu made a fuss. Young Master Chen and his "corpse collection team" have subsequently become a negative example of how one person can achieve enlightenment and chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.
Zhou Fohai was also opposed. Seeing that the tigress was about to go crazy, he quickly stepped forward to rescue Wang Jingwei, "Madam, although I just withdrew 40 million yuan from Jinzheng Bank, there are more places to spend money. If you are like Mr. Biao, If it's three to four hundred thousand, then this amount of money is not enough to build an army, let alone his regiment is not the only one being built."
Chen Bijun got angry when he mentioned this, and immediately roared: "Yes, my cousin asked for three to four hundred thousand, but we have to look at where the money was spent. The security brigade spent less money than him But there are only a few people and guns in total so far? Xu Pucheng, Xu Fengzao, Gong Guoliang, and that Xiong Yuheng, which one is not the lieutenant general division commander or the major general brigade commander? But who among them has more soldiers and more reliability than his successor ¡¡±
In this three-thirds of an acre of land in Shanghai, not everyone can enjoy it as well as Mr. Chen, and not everyone can get the same support from the Japanese as Mr. Chen.
Therefore, veteran soldiers such as Ye Peng, Yang Kuiyi, Liu Yufen, Bao Wenyue, and Yang Yuxun could only recruit surrender and accept rebels, shouting, "For the returning army, we will never distinguish between host and guest in the system, but we must use the revolutionary spirit of the new army." With the slogan "To awaken and spread the army throughout China", people were sent everywhere to bribe and win over the defeated Japanese troops, the loyal and righteous rescue guerrillas, the landlords' security forces, the roving troops and even the bandits.
The money was spent, but the results were unsatisfactory. So far, there is not a single available force around Shanghai.
Chen Bijun became more and more angry as he spoke, pointing at Zhou Fohai and Mei Siping's noses and scolding: "In order to build the army, my stepfather even sold the bungalow on Columbia Road! Who really supports the fourth brother to engage in 'Heyuan', and who is doing it under the guise of 'Heyuan'?" Do you really have no idea how to make money under the guise of luck? No matter what you say, you can¡¯t let honest people suffer. You have to do it today, and you have to do it even if you don¡¯t!¡±
It was hard to hear, but every sentence made sense. Zhou Fohai was speechless.
Wang Jingwei realized that if he didn't give an explanation today, the tigress would definitely not be able to pass this test. He pondered for a moment and suddenly said: "Bingru, how much money did my ancestor spend and where did it go? You know what I know, but others don't." I don¡¯t know, and since he¡¯s so reckless, it¡¯s inevitable that people will gossip about him.¡±
Finally, Chen Bijun said something fair, and Chen Bijun's anger subsided a lot, but he still asked persistently: "Do you want to do this or not?"
Wang Jingwei said coaxingly like coaxing a child: "As you just said, honest people cannot be allowed to suffer, so this matter must be done, but it must be done beautifully, and must not be given to others to let others do the same. They say we are nepotistic. In fact, I have already planned it, but I have been too busy during this period, so I have postponed it until now."
"Then what are you going to do?"
Wang Jingwei did not answer her question directly, but turned around and shouted: "Adjutant Gui!"
"Yes," Guilianxuan hurriedly ran forward.
"I would like to inform General Yang, General Ye, General Liu and General Bao that I will go to Jiangwan Military Camp tomorrow to personally inspect the direct regiments and select a site for the Central Officers Training Corps. Please accompany them."
"yes¡¡!"
Zhou Fohai was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening and immediately added: "By the way, I'd like to inform the Secret Service Headquarters to ask Director Ding and Director Li to take charge of the safety of this trip."
Speaking with facts and blocking the mouths of old bastards such as Ye Peng, Yang Kuiyi, Liu Yufen, Bao Wenyue and Yang Yuxun, Chen Bijun suddenly realized and smiled immediately, "This is best. You are busy with your business. I will go and fight for my ancestor." Call him so he can be prepared."
Wang Jingwei's safety is more important than anything else. Zhou Fohai said quickly: "Madam, the young master is not an outsider. It is okay to notify him in advance, but he must be reminded to keep it confidential and never give Xiao Xiao an opportunity."
"Don't worry, my stepfather won't talk nonsense."
Zhou Fohai really couldn¡¯t let go of Mr. Chen¡¯s infamous ¡°corps collection leader.¡±After thinking about it for a while, he suggested sincerely: "Mr. Wang, to make sure nothing goes wrong, let's ask Adjutant Gui to take a few people to Jiangwan to serve as a frontline for you?"
Chongqing has issued a wanted order for Wang Jingwei, Chen Bijun, Zhou Fohai and Chu Minyi. No. 76 has just uncovered an assassination attempt on Wang Jingwei and arrested three military killers. The ship must be sailed with caution. Wang Jingwei did not dare to make fun of his own life, so he agreed without hesitation: "Be cautious, Adjutant Gui, and do as Mr. Zhou wants."
