Everyone was able to fully express their opinions, and one of them actually said in a tone that was almost sarcastic and abusive, ¡°In the past few months, facts have proven that the Japanese are arrogant and cunning, and have no regrets; It also proves that many comrades of the "Harmony Movement" are greedy for profit and are willing to be the accomplices of others." He even bluntly claimed that "I dare not say that I regret my feathers, but I am not willing to die together."
However, under Wang Jingwei's "personality charm" and Zhou Fohai's rhetoric, his thoughts were eventually "unified" and he continued to support "peaceful nation building" wholeheartedly.
The internal differences were temporarily resolved, and Wang Jingwei was in a much better mood. As soon as the meeting was over, he called Master Chen into the study and asked about the expansion in a soft voice.
"More than 6,000 officers and soldiers are about to overtake Ren Dao's pacification army. Jizu, you really did not disappoint your brother-in-law. Given time, you will become a great weapon."
"Brother-in-law, the problem now is food and wages. People eat what horses chew. I really can't stand it anymore."
"troubled you."
Wang Jingwei nodded his head heavily, motioned for him to sit down, and said thoughtfully: "When the time limit comes next month, I will solve your problem first. In addition, the Japanese side has slightly relaxed its position on the establishment of the army, and is willing to use ' "In the form of an ordnance loan, we will hand over thirty large mountain guns, eighteen small tanks, twenty armored vehicles and forty motorcycles. I intend to give you half of them to form a mechanized brigade."
There is no doubt that he is determined to use his little wealth as a royal envoy. Master Chen realizes the seriousness of the problem and pretends to be excited and asks: "Brother-in-law, did Japan say when it will be handed over?"
"The exact time has not yet been determined, but don't worry, I will urge General Itagaki when he comes to Shanghai for talks, and try to finalize it before the Spring Festival to ensure that the military will be in good order when he returns to the capital."
Itagaki Seishiro comes to Shanghai!
Nanjing is so close to Shanghai, either by land or by water, and the relationship between the Japanese Army and the Japanese Navy is such that his fanatical army general will never take the water route like him. Young Master Chen's eyes lit up, "It's really great. Okay! With tanks and artillery, the combat effectiveness of the army will not be doubled? Brother-in-law, don¡¯t worry, I will never let you down. I guarantee to train you a mechanized brigade that can fight well."
"I am convinced of this."
Wang Jingwei smiled and presented another jelly bean, "Jizu, considering that you are about to become the commander of the first mechanized brigade of the new government, and your military rank will also increase with your position, I have formally proposed to the Military Commission that you be promoted to Major General of the Army, from now on, you will be a true general, and your wish to lead troops to fight like the Holy King of Kai Zhang, Chen Yuanguang, has also come true. "
"real?"
"When did my brother-in-law make a joke to you?"
"Am I really a general?"
"It's absolutely true, unless you don't want to."
"Can I not be willing to do such a good thing?" Young Master Chen looked excited, holding his hands tightly, "Brother-in-law, you are really my brother-in-law! Not only do I want to do this major general, but I also want to do it Okay, I'll hit you wherever I want, I won't embarrass you."
¡°Okay, okay, I¡¯m already a major general, but I¡¯m still not in full shape!¡±
Wang Jingwei laughed and cursed, then he hesitated and said: "Jizu, in fact, your cousin and I have different opinions on the appointment. Of course, they also have their reasons, especially Yaozu, as the chairman of Guangdong Province He has no soldiers under his command, and the work of building an army is difficult, so he wants to lead a regiment. I wonder if you have any objections. "
The South China Expeditionary Force is its own system and is far less easy to talk to than the Japanese Army in Central China. Young Master Chen knows this very well. He saw Wang Jingwei going around and around this issue. At the same time, he claimed that he would strive to finalize the weapons and equipment before the year, which means that the Chief of General Staff of the China Expeditionary Forces, Seishiro Itagaki, will come to Shanghai in the near future.
With enough time, Young Master Chen made some calculations and vowed: "It's just a group, give me two months to prepare, and we can leave at any time in two months."
The troops were expanded in Wujin. It is difficult to move from their homeland. It is understandable that they need some time to prepare. Wang Jingwei thought for a moment and asked, "Can it be done faster?"
"It will take a month at the earliest. To ensure nothing goes wrong, we have to let the brothers from the officer training corps graduate early."
Wang Jingwei didn¡¯t want to cause any more trouble after being upset by Chen Bijun, so he agreed: ¡°No problem, I¡¯ll call Ye Peng later and ask him to let him go immediately.¡±
Although Itagaki Seishiro's head was much more valuable than the one in front of him, Master Chen was not willing to do the icing on the cake. After weighing it again, he finally made up his mind and whispered mysteriously into his ear: "Brother-in-law ???It stands to reason that soldiers should obey orders as their bounden duty and should not interfere with politics, but there are some things that I have to ask. I hope you won't be angry. "
"What's the matter?" Wang Jingwei was confused.
"How did you arrange Mr. Gao and Mr. Tao?"
The vast majority of people, including Wang Jingwei and Zhou Fohai, only had different opinions on war and peace towards the Chongqing man, but they never attacked Chiang personally. In all published documents, Mr. Chiang is always referred to rather than by his first name. Even when talking in private, he always talks about Mr. Chiang, and he doesn't shy away from it even when Japanese people are present.
In contrast, Gao Tao's attitude towards Jiang was much more intense.
From Hong Kong to Shanghai, the two of them never stopped attacking Chiang. The open words are "Chiang Kai-shek sacrificed his country and the Party for his people", and the closed words are "Chiang Kai-shek held soldiers and civilians hostage, falsely accused those who led the peace and the peace as traitors, and destroyed each other with violence." Their enthusiasm for the "peace movement" was performed thousands of times more brilliantly than anyone else's.
Young Master Chen does not think that they parted ways with Wang Jingwei because of "a profound understanding of righteousness and a sudden change of plan", but because the spoils were unevenly divided and they did not sit in the position they wanted to sit.
The icing on the cake is far better than giving help when it is timely! Young Master Chen finally made up his mind that he would rather betray them than let them go ahead of him.
"Gao Zongwu and Tao Xisheng?"
"Yes." Young Master Chen nodded extremely seriously.
"Did you hear any gossip?"
"I heard some."
Young Master Chen gritted his teeth and said resolutely: "There are rumors that Mr. Gao is very dissatisfied with you. He believes that he was the first to open up the channel to contact Japan and made the first contribution. After the new government is established, he will naturally be the founding father of the country. And he was already the founding father when he was in Chongqing. Director of the Asian Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, so it shouldn't be a big problem to be promoted to the position of Minister of Foreign Affairs in the new government, but unexpectedly he only got the position of Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, so he was extremely disappointed. Brother-in-law, this is not an alarmist. Once you lose your mind, it¡¯s easy to go to extremes!¡±
The man in front of him had never been involved in politics. Wang Jingwei realized that he was definitely not aiming at nothing. After thinking about it, he asked quietly: "What about Tao Xisheng?"
"There are rumors that Mr. Tao also regards himself as the founding father of the country with great achievements in the 'Harmony Movement'. He does not want to serve as an empty propaganda minister, but aims at the Ministry of Industry. However, you gave the Ministry of Industry to Mr. Mei, which really chills him. !¡±
So far, Gao Zongwu and Tao Xisheng have not moved into Lane 1136, Yuyuan Road. Thinking that they have tried to avoid signing the document "Adjusting Sino-Japanese Diplomatic Relations", Wang Jingwei suddenly took a breath of cold air, " Who said that?"
Young Master Chen shook his head and replied meaningfully: "Brother-in-law, it doesn't matter who says it. It doesn't matter whether it's true or false. The important thing is not to make the falsehood come true. It's better to be prepared."
"Is there any evidence?"
¡°There are various signs that they are very close to Butler Wan of Du Mansion. If nothing else happens, you won¡¯t be able to find them by this time tomorrow.¡±
Gao Zongwu and Tao Xisheng were both "rebellious elements". Wang Jingwei didn't think that Master Chen dared to make such a joke with him, so he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, "Jizu, besides me, who else have you told this about? "
¡°This is a serious matter, so I didn¡¯t tell anyone except you.¡±
What he was most afraid of now was making a joke. Wang Jingwei breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and walked around the study twice. He suddenly turned around and said, "Jizu, since you were the first to notice it, I'll leave this matter to you." "Whether it's true or not, don't let any news leak out, not even to your cousin."
In fact, Young Master Chen thought the same way. He was even sure that Wang Jingwei would choose to "keep the family scandal secret". When he saw that he had indeed handed the two of them over to him, he was immediately overjoyed. But in order not to make him suspicious, he still pretended to think for a moment, and then whispered: "Brother-in-law, then I will invite Mr. Gao and Mr. Tao to live in Wujin for a while. Please think about what you say to the outside world, and don't get involved."
You can still rely on your own people!
Wang Jingwei sighed secretly and said solemnly: "I know, without further ado, take action quickly and give me a call when the matter is completed. As for how to deal with them, I will wait until I think about it."
