Jiang Zhong's face was as heavy as water, and the flashlights flashed on his face, making this powerful leader in China a little anxious. It was obvious that he was not used to being exposed in public and allowed to ask questions. However, in order to keep pace with the times and win over those illusory so-called public opinions, he had to reluctantly answer various questions patiently. "Mr. Jiang, may I ask" Jiang Zhongzheng pressed his right arm to signal everyone present to be quiet, and then waved his arm to make a gesture of invitation toward the blond foreign reporter who had just asked the question. The foreign reporter smiled kindly at Jiang Zhongzheng and said, "It is said that this meeting is very important and can determine the future of China or the entire Chinese nation. I wonder if Mr. Jiang agrees with this statement." He spoke Chinese very authentically and also With a bit of Wu Song accent, he must be a China expert who has been in China for many years, Wu Xiaoliang thought. Facing the question, Jiang Zhongzheng cleared his throat and leaned his head towards the microphone. "As the president of the Chinese Kuomintang and chairman of the Revolutionary Military Commission of the Republic of China, my purpose in coming to Han is to integrate all the armed forces in China that can and cannot be united, to form a united front, to unite with the outside world, and to fight against the Japanese aggressors. Compromise." At this point, he paused and glanced around with majestic eyes as if waiting for something. Sparse applause gradually sounded, and soon the applause came like a torrent, roaring enthusiastically in the entire waiting hall. Enduring. It was only then that a smile flashed across Jiang Zhongzheng's eyes. If you were not paying attention, it would be difficult to notice. When the applause gradually faded, Jiang Zhongzheng continued: "I hereby appeal to all peace-loving countries in the world to Sanctions are imposed on Japan to restore world peace. At the same time, I would also like to thank you all for your hard work in coming to Wuhan and taking practical actions to support China's unified foreign policy and fight against the Japanese invaders" The blond foreign reporter asked again: "Thank you Mr. Jiang for your wonderful answer. , Before coming to Wuhan, many people were saying that this meeting was convened and chaired by a Chinese general named Wu. Could you please Mr. Jiang to comment on this? "As soon as this was asked, one of Chiang Kai-shek's attach¨¦s. Some people had already exclaimed involuntarily. If the reporter who asked the question was not a foreigner, the secret police would have arrived and taken him away. Suddenly, the originally noisy crowd of reporters fell silent. A trace of anger and embarrassment flashed across Jiang Zhongzheng's face. He did not try to hide his angry expression. From his obviously urgent tone, everyone present could feel the anger. When he answered, he still used quite diplomatic language, which seemed a bit funny. "General Wu, look, that's General Wu." It wasn't just who shouted first, everyone turned their attention to Wu Xiaoliang, who had just arrived. At that time, more than half of the people left Jiang Zhongzheng and came to Wu Xiaoliang's house. In front of him, this made a vein pop up on Jiang Zhongzheng's forehead, but he couldn't do it in public. Facing Wu Xiaoliang, the reporters' questions were more tricky than the last, but this was not a problem for him. He was very easy to answer. His many years of experience in the military, business, and politics have enabled him to deal with all kinds of questions calmly. and not understanding. Wu Xiaoliang still gave Chiang Zhongzhong face, recognized Chiang as the leader of China, and emphasized that Chiang's core position in the united front cannot be shaken or ignored When Wu Xiaoliang finally squeezed out from the surrounding crowd, he discovered that Chiang Kai-shek was the leader of China. Zhongzheng's motorcade had already left. It seemed that today's action to welcome Chiang was self-defeating due to the reporters' troubles and turned into a hindrance for him. Wu Xiaoliang couldn't laugh or cry. He came to show his goodwill today with full sincerity. In the evening of the same day, the plane of Wang Zhaoming, the Executive Director of the National Government, would fly to Wuhan early tomorrow morning. Wu Xiaoliang and Zhang Xueliang drove to the airport again to greet this revolutionary who once dared to assassinate the former Qing regent with blood splattering. On the way, Wu Xiaoliang Zhang and his team's motorcade also met Yan Xishan, who also went to the airport to greet Wang Zhaoming. The two parties' purposes were tacitly understood, and they naturally wanted to show good will and hoped that Wang Zhaoming would be on their side. Since Jiang and Wang have always been at odds with each other, I believe Wang Zhaoming will be happy to cooperate with all parties to create obstacles for Chiang Zhongzheng. Wu Xiaoliang was very familiar with Wang Zhaoming, and today was the first time they met him. Different from the cowardly and smooth person in his impression, Wang Zhaoming was dressed in a smart suit, with a tall figure and firm eyes. He was actually extremely capable. For Zhang Xueliang and Yan Xishan, I have met Wang Zhaoming many times, but Wu Xiaoliang, who met for the first time, secretly praised him in his heart. He is indeed a talented person. If he hadn't known that this man would become China's biggest traitor sooner or later, he would have been attracted and impressed by his magnanimity. . Wang Zhaoming shook hands with the familiar Zhang Xueliang and Yan Xishan one by one. When his eyes fell on Wu Xiaoliang's face, he looked surprised.Ruo said excitedly: "If Zhaoming's guess is right, it's the famous Wu Weizhong." Wu Xiaoliang laughed and extended his hands in a friendly manner Wang Zhaoming has no soldiers in his hands. In addition to having some status in the Kuomintang, The impact on China's political situation has been minimal. Winning this person is the first step to divide Chiang Zhongzheng's internal affairs. In fact, as Wu Xiaoliang expected, Wang Zhaoming responded extremely enthusiastically to the overtures of Wu Zhangyan and others. At the same time, he humbly told everyone that as long as it was beneficial to the domestic united front, he would do his best to cooperate with everyone. In fact, everyone could tell that this was just a fig leaf to cover up his obedience to orders, which made Wu Xiaoliang sigh and feel depressed. No matter what, he could not separate the smooth politician in front of him from that "snatching sword." The soldiers who died serving the country "live up to their youth" are linked together. The Wuhan Municipal Government held a grand welcome ceremony for the arrival of Chiang Kai-shek. Wu Xiaoliang and Zhang Xueliang made a procedural appearance and then returned to the temporary residence. However, as soon as he entered the door, he received a secret telegram from Shanghai transferred from Shandong. The message is very simple, only five words. "Wang Yaqiao left Shanghai." Wu Xiaoliang frowned as he clicked the newspaper in his hand. Last year, Shandong briefly compromised with Japan due to strategic needs. This person plotted to assassinate Wu Xiaoliang, the leader of the Shandong clique, several times in the name of hoeing out traitors. This was because the intelligence and security work around Wu Xiaoliang was very thorough. failed. Wang Yaqiao has thus become a key surveillance target for intelligence personnel from various places in the Shandong Army. It is very likely that this person left Shanghai and came to Wuhan.
