The first seventy-ninth chapter is worthy of the heart
Chapter 1796: With a clear conscience
Xiao Xinghua and Leng Yue had been paying attention to the whereabouts of their godfather An Yi. They saw him hurriedly walked to the back room under the leadership of Shen Fengdao. The two girls looked at each other and followed them. They quietly poked their heads to spy, but An Yi saw him.
He couldn't help but smile and said hello: "You two little guys, why don't you come here quickly? I just asked people to go to the temple to get a charcoal stove. We have to talk about business later. You two happened to be waiting on the side, adding tea and water. I know.
?”
When the two girls heard this, they laughed happily and walked into the wing hand in hand.
In the unit where Xiao Xinghua worked, she was always running around, with no fixed time or place. In addition, she was An Yi's beloved adopted daughter, so no one dared to embarrass her. And Leng Yue was now the project leader, and she had everything
The two men's perfumes launched by the perfume research institute founded by him immediately aroused popularity once they were launched in Europe and the United States, especially Germany and the United Kingdom. They regarded perfume as a strategic material purchase and became a rich woman at a young age.
Think about being in a damp, dark, decaying trench, bunker or anti-aircraft hole, and suddenly feel the fresh floral and fruity scent. It is self-evident that the morale will be improved. These two men's perfumes, with play
The launch of the series has made it famous and demand exceeds supply. The three women's perfumes that have passed the testing of the US drug agency are named after "moonplay". Leng Yue is confident that he can turn it into a golden brand.
Leng Yue has greater ambitions. She wants to run these two perfume brands into synonyms for luxury goods. In addition to the main perfumes in the future, she will also operate men's and women's clothing, watches, glasses, shoes and leather goods. All these ideas
, she sent them all in the form of telegrams to sisters Lin Xiaoran and Lin Xiaotong who are marketing these two brands from the American Chinese Youth Society, and received enthusiastic responses.
Soon a monk brought over a charcoal stove. Several guards took out purple sand pottery kettles, tea leaves and teacups from the cartons they carried. Others went to the nearby woods and collected some snow on ceramic trays.
, then put it into a purple sand pottery kettle and placed it on the charcoal fire. Soon, water mist began to steam up in the house.
After the guards retreated, two beautiful girls stood by the charcoal stove, listening to An Yi's conversation.
Zhao Rui knew that Xiao Xinghua and Leng Yue were both people that An Yi could absolutely trust, not to mention Shen Fengdao, so he did not hide anything at the moment and began to tell the whole story of Wang Jingwei's defection.
"In November of the previous year, feeling the threat from us and the growing strength of the CCP, the 'Arts and Literature Research Association' was formally established with suggestions from Zhou Fohai and Tao Xisheng, and approval from Chairman Chiang Kai-shek and Wang Jingwei. Zhou Fohai was appointed as the General Affairs Director-General, and Tao Xisheng was appointed as
Research director-general, Li Houzheng is the secretary, Luo Junqiang is the head of the general affairs group, Tao Xisheng is also the head of the editorial team, and Ye Suzhong is the head of the publishing group."
When Zhao Rui said this, he took out a thick piece of information from his briefcase. An Yi took it and opened it. He found that it was the information of the people mentioned. He read it according to the list and understood it clearly.
Signaling Zhao Rui to continue.
"The purpose of this 'art and literature research association' is: first, to establish independent speech and oppose the information coverage of Nan Hua and the Chinese Communist Party; second, to create a public opinion that makes the government warworthy and peaceful; third, to study the policy trends of the Communist Party of China
, looking for favorable opportunities for peace talks. The funds for the organization's activities were allocated 200,000 yuan per month from the "Military Special Support" project by Chairman Chiang's instructions to the Munitions Administration. Due to the strong support of Chairman Chiang and Wang Jingwei, the organization
Branches have been established in Shanghai, Hangzhou, Xuzhou, Changsha, Guangzhou, Chengdu, Chongqing, Xi'an, Hong Kong and other places.
"The organization uses generous funds to win over people in the cultural field by paying royalties and giving subsidies. Whoever opposes Nanhua and the CCP will get more money. Zheng Xuejia, Li Shengwu, Fan Zhongyun, Yao Pengzi, etc. are all targets of its bribery
, the Youth Party, and the National Socialist Party were secretly ordered by Chairman Chiang Kai-shek to provide a monthly allowance of 10,000 yuan from the Art and Literature Research Association, which was received by Zuo Shunsheng and Zhang Junli to support their speeches.
"During this period, Wang Jingwei and Zhou Fohai sent their cronies, *** government legislators Lin Baisheng and Mei Siping, to Hong Kong to open an international translation agency and Weilan Bookstore. Lin Baisheng presided over the general affairs, Mei Siping edited the International Series, and Zhu Pu
Editor-in-chief of International News, Fan Zhongyun is editor-in-chief of International Weekly. The assistant editors of the agency include Zhang Baigao, Hu Lancheng, Long Dajun, Lian Shisheng, Du Heng, Lin Yixin, etc. According to our information, the agency holds a symposium on international issues every week to discuss
Within one week, international affairs, mainly intelligence on Japan, drafted two reports with the same content to Zhou Fohai after the meeting, asking him to forward them to Chairman Chiang Kai-shek and Wang Jingwei..."
"how so!?"
An Yi sighed, stood up and paced back and forth.
It is understandable that Chiang Kai-shek is guarding himself and the Communist Party, but he cannot understand that the current situation of the National Government in Nanjing is much better than in the original history, especially with the support of the southwest industrial base and the well-trained Central Army.
With sophisticated weapons, why did Chiang Kai-shek still focus on peace talks?
As for Zhou Fohai and Tao Xisheng, An Yi knew them very well when he was in Nanjing.
Zhou Fohai studied in the Communist Party of China in his early years and participated in the National Congress of the Communist Party of China. The cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party was formed in 2024. Zhou Fohai accepted the appointment of Dai Jitao, then the Propaganda Minister of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, and served as the Secretary of the Propaganda Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. He left the Communist Party in September of that year.
The revolutionary atmosphere was strong at that time, and Dai Jitao, a right-wing member of the Communist Party, could not stay in Guangzhou, so he took Zhou Fohai with him to Shanghai, and then Zhou Fohai went to *** to study again.
The Northern Expeditionary Army entered Jiangxi with unstoppable momentum. Zhou Fohai saw that Chiang Kai-shek had become powerful and quickly returned to the country. In October 2026, the Wuhan branch of the Central Military and Political School of the Communist Party of China was established. Chiang Kai-shek served as the principal, Zhang Zhizhong was appointed as the director of education, and Zhou Fohai served as
On the order of Chiang Kai-shek, he served as Secretary-General and Director of the Political Department of the school.
At that time, Chiang Kai-shek was commanding the Northern Expedition to attack Zhejiang. Zhang Zhizhong was also the head of the cadet corps, and Zhou Fohai was responsible for most of the school work. In January of the following year, Chiang Kai-shek visited Wuhan from Nanchang. Zhou Fohai contracted syphilis from prostitution and was in a hospital run by the Communists in Hankou.
After receiving treatment, Chiang Kai-shek became furious after being unable to find anyone. After hearing the news, Zhou Fohai returned to the school urgently and secretly reported to Chiang Kai-shek the situation of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party within the school, which left a deep impression on Chiang Kai-shek.
After April 12, Zhou Fohai escaped from Wuhan with his wife and defected to Chiang Kai-shek. From then on, he rose through the ranks and served successively as director of the Political Training Department of the Central School and director of the Central Political Training Department. Together with Yang Yongtai and Chen Bulei, he was also known as the "literary daring" around Chiang Kai-shek.
”.
An Yi once got along with Zhou Fohai at the Central Military Academy. He knew that this man was two-faced and difficult to get along with, so he stayed away from him. However, due to Chiang Kai-shek's appreciation, Zhou Fohai became a success and was selected as one of the "Four" Central Committee members of the Communist Party of China in 1931.
Executive Committee member, and later served as member of the Jiangsu Provincial Government and Director of the Education Department, Director of the Political Training Department of the Wuhan Camp, and other positions. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, he began to serve as Director of the Central Propaganda Department and Deputy Director of the Second Division of the Chairman's Attendant Office.
An Yi once heard that during the Second Battle of Songhu, he led troops to fight in Shanghai. Zhou Fohai, who was in the rear, was worried about Japanese bombing, so he built a basement under the flower bed of the garden house at No. 8 Xiliu Bay, Nanjing.
Many people heard that there was such a basement in Zhouzhai and came to hide from the air-raid siren. Some people simply moved to Zhouzhai. Among the visitors were military generals Gu Zhutong, Xiong Shihui, Zhu Shaoliang, and civil servants Mei Siping, Luo Junqiang, Tao Xisheng, Hu Shi, etc.
An Yi estimated that this group, which advocated peace talks and denounced the war of resistance, was formed at that time.
Tao Xisheng graduated from the Law Department of Peking University and worked as an editor at the Translation Office of the Commercial Press. In the winter of 2026, when Zhou Fohai was the secretary-general and director of the political department of the Wuhan branch of the Central Military and Political School of the Communist Party of China, he was invited to serve as a political instructor. In May 207
In March, in order to combat the rebellion of Xia Douyin's tribe, the teachers and students of the school were organized into a division to stop the attack. Tao Xisheng first served as the secretary of the political department of the division, and later as the director of the Military Law Department. In 2028, Zhou Fohai recommended Tao Xisheng as the chief political instructor of the Central Military Academy.
, as a result, he was expelled by Huangpu's direct teachers and students. In desperation, he had to run to the Shanghai Concession to escape.
Tao Xisheng was unwilling to be left alone and participated in the anti-Chiang activities of the reorganized faction. As a result, Wang Jingwei was defeated in the Jianggui War and the Central Plains War. Seeing that he was about to be unlucky, he hurriedly sought help from Zhou Fohai. Zhou Fohai recalled his old friendship and asked for help from Chen Guofu and Chen Lifu.
Understand that he went to Nanjing Central University to teach. After 128, Wang Jingwei became the president of the Executive Yuan, and Tao Xisheng served as a member of the Rural Revitalization Committee. After the Marco Polo Bridge Incident, this person worked day and night with Zhou Fohai and others, advocating "anti-Japanese low-key" and conspiring to declare an armistice with Japan.
and way.
An Yi's mind was spinning with all kinds of thoughts, and he suddenly turned around and asked curiously: "It stands to reason that Zhou Fohai is a member of Chairman Chiang Kai-shek's family. Why did he get involved with Wang Jingwei again? This person must be among the missing people this time.
Bar!"
"There is indeed such a person!"
Zhao Rui nodded and then put on a wry smile: "Zhou Fohai had many wars with Wang Jingwei, calling each other 'not a thing', and both vowed not to 'work' with each other again. After the Xi'an Incident, Wang Jingwei thought it was profitable, and hurriedly
After returning from Europe, Zhou Fohai, Shao Lizi, Zhou Qigang, Peng Xuepei and others were ordered to greet him. Zhou and Wang had a good conversation. In order to show his loyalty, Zhou Fohai talked about "theory of national subjugation" in a low-key manner, and he hit it off with Wang Jingwei. From then on, Zhou Fohai
He became Wang Jingwei’s confidant, and Wang Jingwei’s escape was planned by Zhou Fohai.”
"oh!?"
An Yi quickly returned to his seat: "Go on, I would like to hear what role Zhou Fohai played in Wang Jingwei's escape."
Zhao Ruidao: "In January last year, Wang Jingwei and Zhou Fohai set up an organization in Nanjing in the name of collecting intelligence on the Communist Party - the 'Research Association on Communist Party Issues', with Gao Zongwu as the director, and the public name was to promote the peace movement.
.....”
"Gao Zongwu? How come I never heard of this man when I was in Nanjing?" An Yi asked.
Zhao Rui pointed to the information he had given to An Yi before. An Yi picked it up and flipped through it, and sure enough, he found Gao Zongwu's name in the directory. After checking it carefully according to the index, he found that this person was quite extraordinary.
Gao Zongwu was a fellow countryman of Chiang Kai-shek. He studied in Japan since he was a child, and graduated from Kyushu Imperial University Law School. He was known as China's "political expert". After returning to China in the 1930s, he taught at Nanjing Central University. Wang Jingwei was also in charge of foreign affairs at that time.
Minister, so he invited Gao Zongwu to join the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He first served as section chief of the Asia Department and was soon promoted to director. His ability was even recognized by Chiang Kai-shek.
According to intelligence, after the Marco Polo Bridge Incident, Wang Jingwei, Zhou Fohai and other members of the "low-key club" discussed opening up diplomatic channels with the Communist Party and decided to hand over this task to Gao Zongwu, so Hu Shi recommended Gao Zongwu to Chiang Kai-shek.
When Chiang Kai-shek met with Gao Zongwu, he boasted: "I will use my enthusiasm to convince Prime Minister Konoe, and with the political power of Prime Minister Konoe, I will use the Yongding River line as a turning point to make all Japanese troops withdraw from North China."
Of course, it goes without saying that Gao Zongwu accomplished nothing after going to Japan. However, during the half-year stay in Japan, this person got in touch with Konoe Fumimaro.
Zhao Rui continued: "In February last year, Gao Zongwu used the excuse of not completing the mission on his last trip to Japan to defraud Chen Bulei of funds and set off from Shanghai to Japan again. At that time, the army, navy and army of Japan
Having conquered cities and territories in Southeast Asia, the war in China has long been decided to focus on maintenance. Of course, if there is an opportunity to disrupt the Nanjing government's legal system, it will undoubtedly be a good thing for the Communist Party.
"According to our intelligence, during Gao Zongwu's stay in Tokyo, the Japanese military and political officials deliberately courted him, and the Fifth Prime Minister even personally attended the banquet to welcome Gao Zongwu. After Gao Zongwu returned to China in August last year, he secretly communicated with Wang Jingwei, Zhou Fohai and others several times.
Shang, although I don’t know the specific content, it is undoubtedly related to the defection incident.”
At this time, the teapot made a "cuckoo" sound.
Xiao Xinghua, who was listening intently, said "Ah", quickly picked up the tea box, and poured tea leaves into the teacups in front of An Yi, Zhao Rui and Shen Fengdao.
On the side, Leng Yue took out a handkerchief from her pocket, folded it and carefully placed it on the handle of the teapot. She picked up the purple sand pottery teapot and filled each of the three teacups with half a cup of water. Little Xinghua obediently poured the tea into her head.
Then Leng Yue continued to fill the three tea cups. After a while, the fragrance of tea overflowed.
An Yi asked: "Does Chairman Chiang know all these situations?"
"You should know that I have written written reports many times and submitted them to the Military Commission..." Zhao Rui shook his head: "Unfortunately, there has been no response. I can only continue to stare at him and cannot arrest, interrogate or verify.
"
"Then Gao Zongwu should be responsible for this matter. Why do you say it was Zhou Fohai who planned it?" An Yi was a little confused.
Zhao Rui picked up the tea, took a sip, and felt the fragrance on his lips and teeth. He praised "good tea" and then said:
"Not long after Gao Zongwu returned to Nanjing, he fell ill. It turned out that this man frequently visited romantic places during the Communist period, contracted syphilis, and induced tuberculosis. He kept coughing up blood and was temporarily unable to handle affairs. Zhou Fohai saw this
, and sent Mei Siping in Hong Kong to contact the Japanese. After our verification, Mei Siping met with the Japanese representatives at the Island Restaurant in Hong Kong, the Gloucester Hotel, and the Meihua Hall in Shanghai. From the beginning to the end,
, it was Zhou Fohai who was covering for Mei Siping.
"Last month, with the outbreak of the Pacific War, Japan successively achieved victory in Pearl Harbor, the Philippines, and the surprise attack on the Panama Canal. At the same time, Turkey also fell into the arms of the Axis powers. As the Japanese and Turkish armies joined forces in Syria, Mesping
The contacts with the Communists became more frequent. At that time, I had a hunch that Wang Jingwei and others thought that the Axis Congress would win the final victory of the world war, and were eager to place bets, and might flee in the near future."
An Yi also picked up the tea cup, took a sip and held it in his mouth, savoring it carefully. After a long aftertaste, he put the tea cup back on the table and watched Leng Yue pick up the purple sand pottery teapot and fill the tea cup. Asked: "Have you informed Chairman Chiang Kai-shek of these findings?"
"I went to Qilu at that time!"
Zhao Rui smiled bitterly and said: "However, Tang Zong, the leader of the sixth team of the Attendant Room who was on duty that day, told me that the Chairman was not there. But I knew that Chairman Chiang did not go anywhere that day and stayed at his home in Qilu. I Knowing that he didn't want to see me, I decided to take matters into my own hands and fully monitor every move of Wang Jingwei and his gang members."
Shen Fengdao, who had been listening silently, asked curiously: "I remember Xiaoyi once told you that once you find something wrong, send someone to kill Wang Jingwei immediately. Why don't you do it?"
"Shoot Wang Jingwei without evidence!?"
Zhao Rui shook his head repeatedly: "Wang Jingwei is the number two figure in the Communist Party and has huge influence. As far as I know, in order to counter Chiang Kai-shek's strategy of using the Japanese army to consume the local army, Li Zongren, Zhang Fakui, Yan Xishan, Yu Hanmou and others all urgently united Around Wang Jingwei, if something happens to Wang Jingwei before he reveals his treasonous intentions, it is likely to trigger a full-scale civil war. When the Japanese take advantage of the situation, I cannot bear this huge responsibility..."
"Yes, Xiangyun's concerns are right!"
An Yi nodded calmly:
"Wang Jingwei's reputation must not be underestimated. After Wang Jingwei was shot, the civil war was still light. I am worried that with the help of thoughtful people, Chiang Kai-shek may not necessarily push the situation and lead the conflict to us, saying that we are the instigators behind the scenes. It will make sense then. I can’t explain it clearly. After a great battle, the only ones who gain are the Japanese!
"Over the years, we have endured the humiliation and endured the heavy burden, facing the repeated advances of Chiang Kai-shek and Wang Jingwei, and giving in step by step. Isn't it just to seek unity and unity to deal with the outside world? It is true that with our current strength, even if we start a war, the final victory will be ours. , but before that, how many people will die? How many people will point their fingers at me, An Yi, and scold me for being unfaithful, unjust, unkind and unfilial? Domestic forces are complex. If something is wrong, those local warlords and even the Nanjing government Chairman Chiang may fall to the Communists, but who will suffer in the end?
"Chinese people have always valued orthodoxy and inheritance, and they pay attention to the practice of learning. If the civil war is provoked by us, then who will the people think is just and who is unjust? Land and ethnic policies are indeed our magic weapon, but what the CCP created Those anti-Japanese base areas also implement the same policy. What should we do then? Some people say that I, An Yi, are cowardly, and some people call me weak, but those are living human lives!
"I, An Yi, have fought so far. Although my hands are stained with blood, I am worthy of the country, the people, and my own conscience! No matter now or in the future, our Anjia army will only point its guns towards the outside world. No matter what others think of me, I dare to pat my chest and say that I have preserved as much of the blood of this nation as possible and expanded the living space for the descendants of Yan and Huang. I am worthy of this era!"
