This is a copy of the "Qingdao Evening News" from the day before yesterday. The front page published the "Important Speech" Wang Chuanhai delivered when he met with Chinese and foreign reporters at the Guest House.
The headline is ‘Mr. Wang Chuanhai elaborates on the three points of consensus of the peace movement’.
"I have the following views on the peace movement."
"First, the peace movement takes the overall situation of East Asia into consideration. It is true that China and Japan cannot coexist and prosper without peace. They do not seek refuge in peace because of defeat."
"Secondly, the peace movement is a century-old plan for China and Japan, and its foundation should be rooted in the perspective of coexistence and common prosperity, rather than seeking temporary peace."
"Thirdly, the peace movement is based on a doctrine and a belief. It is indeed seen that in the war between China and Japan, both sides will lose, but peace means coexistence and co-prosperity, so they are not afraid of hardships and sacrifices. It is not out of power and tactics.
Concept also"."
Behind this news report, there was an editorial by Wang's propaganda general Lin Bosheng, which greatly praised Wang Chuanhai's "peaceful thoughts."
Ning Chenggang sighed in his heart.
If it were in the past, when he saw such newspaper reports, he would curse and spit out "traitor"!
But now.
He smiled bitterly. Overnight, he and many brothers from Qingdao Station became traitors!
He thought about fighting, and thought about preferring death to surrender. However, these tenacity disappeared so quickly after seeing Sha Dongguang being killed on Li Cuiqun's order.
He thought that he could not be afraid of death and could face death head-on. However, when things came to a head, he realized how heavy the saying "the only difficulty in life has been to die since ancient times" was.
It was at this time that he noticed that the young boy and his subordinate Dai Guo was sitting on the long bench at the door, sighing all the time.
"Dai Guo." Ning Chenggang shouted.
"My boss." Dai Guo came over. He was still used to calling Ning Chenggang his boss.
"Don't think about it so much. It's already done. There's no turning back." Ning Chenggang said.
There's no turning back?
Dai Guo's eyes were a little confused.
"Master." He came over and asked in a low voice.
"What?" Ning Chenggang glanced at the inner room, and then gave Dai Guo a warning look, telling him to be careful what he said.
"I heard that if you become a traitor, you won't be able to enter your ancestor's grave." Dai Guo said worriedly.
"Shut up!" Ning Chenggang's face changed drastically. He lowered his voice and warned Dai Guo, "We are following Mr. Wang's peaceful movement, no, we are not traitors."
Dai Guo didn't know whether he heard it or not. He returned to the door with his head drooped and sat down on the long bench.
Mr. Wang's peace movement is too profound for him to understand. He only knows that Mr. Wang is a traitor. This is what the webmaster and brothers say every day.
He only knew that the Japanese came to China to kill people, set fires, and destroy the sisters. They all said that the Japanese wanted to destroy China. They were bandits. How could there be peace with the bandits? The bandits would give up if they didn't kill everyone and rob everyone.
Ning Chenggang's mood became even worse.
He smiled bitterly in his heart and said "ancestral grave".
Ancestral graves.
With his condition, he probably wouldn't be able to enter his ancestral grave.
Then, he remembered that among the brothers who surrendered together, some said that the Japanese would occupy all of China sooner or later, and that everyone would be Japanese and a subject of the Japanese Empire.
Not to mention whether you can enter the ancestral grave, the ancestors probably won't recognize it, Ning Chenggang thought to himself.
…
At this moment, Ning Chenggang saw Dai Guo suddenly stand up. Not only did he stand up, Dai Guo also stared blankly at the door.
Ning Chenggang's heart skipped a beat.
The secret service headquarters ordered Youji Cigarette Store to open normally. Ning Chenggang naturally knew what their purpose was.
This is a trap, a trap for Hu Zejun, the head of the Intelligence Department.
There was obviously only one reason that could make Dai Guo so shocked.
Ning Chenggang rolled up the newspaper in his hands, quickly walked around the counter, and walked to the door. Then he saw Hu Zejun striding towards him.
No, don't come over!
Ning Chenggang shouted loudly in his heart. He even wanted to shout out to warn Hu Zejun, but he did not dare.
There were three Japanese military police hiding in the store.
The small shop was already secretly surrounded by the Japanese.
Hu Zejun raised his head and happened to see Ning Chenggang. He first looked around cautiously, then smiled and nodded, and his pace quickened.
…
Next door to Youji Cigarette Store is an alley, at the corner of the alley entrance.
"Sir, someone has passed by." A Japanese military policeman said to Nobuhiro Kurata.
"Keep an eye on him." Kurata Nobuhiro bit his lip and stared intently at the man who was about to enter the Youji Cigarette Store.
This person is not Shen Xi.
He ruled out this possibility first.
"Boss Ning, the seafood I asked you to pay attention to last time has arrived." Hu Zejun walked to the door of the store and asked Ning Chenggang.
"I'm sorry, Boss Qiu, the weather has been bad these days and I haven't received any decent seafood." Ning Chenggang said, trying his best to sound calm.
Hu Zejun's eyes narrowed.
Ning Chenggang's answer was "dangerous".
He took a deep look at Ning Chenggang, but he never expected that his rebellious subordinate would actually warn him at this critical moment.
Logically speaking, he should turn around and leave at this time.
However, Hu Zejun was worried that he would successfully escape the enemy's capture by doing so. He hesitated for a moment and just looked at Ning Chenggang.
…
"Let's go!" Ning Chenggang suddenly shouted loudly. He didn't know how he suddenly had the courage. He just shouted, "Let's go, there are Japs!"
Hu Zejun didn't hesitate anymore, he turned around and started running away.
…
"Bag duck down!" Nobuhiro Kurata cursed angrily, pulled out the Nanbu pistol from his waist, and fired it into the sky.
With the sound of gunshots, Japanese military police surrounded him from all directions.
In the store, three Japanese military policemen rushed out with rifles in both hands.
"Section Chief, let's go, let's go." Ning Chenggang picked up the scissors on the counter and faced the Japanese military policeman's shining bayonet.
He threw the scissors, and the scissors hit a Japanese soldier who was unable to dodge.
"しれ!" Another Japanese military policeman, who was furious and grinning, pierced Ning Chenggang's chest with the bayonet of his Type 38 rifle.
'It hurts'!
Ning Chenggang shouted in his heart, he didn't know what happened to him just now, but he had the courage to do that.
You are so stupid.
Isn’t it good to be alive?
Maybe if I do it again, I won’t have the courage.
However, a voice in my head roared and asked, do you regret it?
You should, you shouldn't regret it.
The Japanese military police forcefully picked up the bayonet.
A large mouthful of blood gushed out of Ning Chenggang's mouth, and he held the bayonet tightly with both hands.
He suddenly grinned. He wanted to shout out, but he really didn't have the strength to shout out. His mouth moved, "Section Chief, I, I don't want to be a traitor."
"Ancestral graves, hey!" Ning Chenggang's last thought in this world:
If you look like this, you are not a traitor, then, then, your ancestors should recognize it... right?
The Japanese military policeman drew out his bayonet and stabbed him several times, causing Ning Chenggang's body to collapse.
"Little devil!" Dai Guo picked up the long bench and rushed towards the Japanese soldier.
Then two Japanese soldiers picked up bayonets and stabbed him deeply into his body.
The long bench fell to the ground with a clang, and blood dripped down, staining the bench red.
The two Japanese military policemen used their strength together to pick up the slender Dai Guo with their bayonets.
"Mother..." Dai Guo's voice stopped abruptly.
…
Bang bang bang.
Hu Zejun failed to escape the encirclement.
His calf was hit by a bullet, and he was cornered by Japanese military police with bayonets.
"Hu Zejun, Chief of the Intelligence Section of the Qingdao Station of the Military Command?" Kurata Yuhiro came to him, looked down at him, and asked.
Just now, Ning Chenggang called "section chief", which made Kurata Nobuhiro immediately confirm the identity of this person.
"Kill me." Hu Zejun looked at the Japanese officer in front of him with hatred and gritted his teeth.
Kurata Nobuhiro smiled and did not deny it. There was no doubt that this person was Hu Zejun.
He waved his hand, and two military policemen went up to hold Hu Zejun up. One of them skillfully took out a ball of rags and stuffed it into Hu Zejun's mouth to prevent him from biting his tongue.
Kurata Nobuhiro was in a very good mood. He had successfully caught Hu Zejun, a big fish that had slipped through the net. He was finally able to give an explanation to the young master of the Kawada family and Lieutenant Colonel Horie Junichiro of the military department.
Kurata Nobuhiro came to the store and looked at the bodies of Ning Chenggang and Dai Guo, a trace of confusion and doubt flashed in his eyes.
These two people had been persuaded by their station chief Ke Zhijiang to surrender and were willing to join Wang Chuhai and serve the Empire of Japan. Why did they suddenly rebel again?
He turned to look at Hu Zejun, who was tied up and gagged, "These two people have already surrendered to the empire, why did they rebel?"
Hu Zejun was a little excited and his eyes were red.
There were Japanese military police who were going to remove the cloth from Hu Zejun's mouth. Kurata Nobuhiro shook his head. He was just curious, but he still didn't want to get into trouble. This person was very important and could not be missed.
Hu Zejun was taken away.
He struggled hard, trying to turn his head to take one last look at the two brothers who had died for their country.
He felt that he knew why Ning Chenggang and Dai Guo, two brothers who had become traitors, did what they did.
They don't want to be traitors either.
However, Station Commander Ke Zhijiang surrendered. Ning Chenggang and Dai Guo were probably used to obeying orders from their superiors. What could they do?
Good brother, let's go!
Ke Zhijiang!
Hu Zejun has never hated someone as much as he does now!
…
Cheng Qianfan stayed at the Guest House all day long.
The 'Big Three' meeting continues today.
In the morning, Wang Chuanhai left the conference room with a gloomy expression.
Cheng Qianfan was preparing to go out at that time. Seeing this, he followed the trend and stayed at the guest house honestly.
"What's wrong?" Cheng Qianfan asked Liu Xia, "I heard the quarrel was fierce."
"Shh." Liu Xia raised a finger to signal Cheng Qianfan not to talk nonsense. Then she looked around, leaned over, and lowered her voice and said, "They are still trying to fight over there."
Cheng Qianfan nodded thoughtfully.
In the afternoon, he roughly understood the quarrel in today's meeting from Chu Mingyu's complaints.
Different from the relatively harmonious atmosphere of the previous two days of talks, today's talks were full of quarrels and chaos.
This is because all parties involved have their own vital interests.
How is the new National Government organized?
It is the most fundamental interest of the Wang, Wang, and Liang cliques and their respective "qunxian" to have any positions in the new regime.
All parties refused to give in, and the debate was extremely fierce.
Wang Keming attempted to merge several political regimes under his own leadership, but his idea was rejected by Wang Keming and others on the spot.
"Mr. Wang is the leader who is widely expected and trusted by the people. What qualifications do Wang and Liang have to compete with Mr. Wang?!" Cheng Qianfan said angrily.
He looked at Chu Mingyu and complained to himself, "Besides, even the Japanese support Mr. Wang."
"The Japanese are not monolithic." Chu Mingyu shook his head, "There are Japanese interests behind Wang Keming and Liang Hongzhi."
As he spoke, he snorted, "Japanese, ha."
Seeing Cheng Qianfan's worried and aggrieved look, he said, "Don't worry, Mr. Wang is supported by the Japanese cabinet. He is recognized by foreigners at home and the international community as the sole leader of the party-state. Wang Keming and Liang Hongzhi also realize that.
At this point, they are just striving for the final benefit."
"It's done?" Cheng Qianfan asked in surprise.
"Although the process was difficult, we finally reached a consensus." Chu Mingyu smiled and nodded.
Under the mediation of the Japanese, the three parties had to make a compromise after a fierce quarrel:
After the establishment of the "unified" new National Government, the "Mongolian-Xinjiang United Autonomous Government" was still retained because it was located on the front line of Red Army prevention; the "Provisional Government of the Republic of China" in Peiping was renamed the "North China Administrative Affairs Commission" due to its special status.
Under the leadership of the new National Government; Liang Hongzhi's "Reformation Government of the Republic of China" in Nanjing was canceled and merged into the new Nanjing National Government.
In addition, regarding the issue of personnel arrangements, after some bargaining, it was initially decided that the new National Government would be the only legitimate political power in China, with Chairman Lin, Chairman of the Chongqing National Government, as its chairman, and Wang Chuanhai as the Executive President and Acting Chairman.
The government has established five branches of administration, legislation, justice, supervision, examination, and a military commission, with several ministries and commissions, which are basically the same as the organizational structure of the Chongqing National Government.
"Since the various ministries and agencies have been set up, then Uncle Chu..." Cheng Qianfan looked expectantly.
"Thanks to Mr. Wang for your trust." Chu Mingyu smiled and nodded.
The biggest quarrel in the afternoon was over the appointment of chief officials of various ministries. After compromise by all parties, it was decided that he should be the vice president of the Executive Yuan.
"Congratulations to Uncle Chu, congratulations to Uncle Chu." Cheng Qianfan said excitedly.
Chu Mingyu nodded slightly, obviously satisfied.
"Uncle Chu has the trust of Mr. Wang, and also the trust of forty million people in the country." Cheng Qianfan said seriously, his eyes full of concern, "Uncle, he forgets to sleep and eat, and he has lost a lot of money recently. Please take care of yourself.
Body."
"There is no other way." Chu Mingyu shook his head and sighed, "The country is in crisis, and although we have achieved success in saving the country through peace, the road ahead is long. Needless to say, Mr. Wang, I am also walking on thin ice, lest I let down the expectations of 40 million people.
, how dare you slack off at all."
As he said that, Chu Mingyu picked up the tea cup and took a sip, "Qianfan, you have to remember that this is a critical task. You must be private, worthy of your ancestors, and public, worthy of the people. You must not be lax, and you must not be greedy for enjoyment. You must remember
, there are still so many people in dire straits waiting for us to save them."
"Qianfan please remember." Cheng Qianfan said excitedly with tears in his eyes, "We have Mr. Wang and Uncle Chu in our country. The country is very lucky and the nation is very lucky."
…
"ah--"
In the torture room of the Qingdao Military Police Headquarters, Hu Zejun screamed and passed out.
