"Yes, teacher, it's today's newspaper. I just brought it to wrap up the sesame cakes." Cheng Qianfan smiled and said casually, "The new newspaper is clean."
There are slight oversights in details, which is not a problem, because no one can be absolutely error-free.
Cheng Qianfan is usually so cautious in order to reduce the number of mistakes in details. After all, the fewer mistakes, the better.
And once there are details that have not been noticed, what you have to do is to give the most timely, accurate and reasonable response:
This means using reasonable explanations to avoid unreasonable details.
When a problem occurs, as long as you don't panic and respond quickly enough, you can basically deal with it properly. At least you won't be suspected at that moment on the spot. When it comes to this kind of thing, I'm most afraid that I have a ghost in my heart and will become nervous.
Maybe Imamura Hyoutarou just asked this question casually and didn't think much about it. However, if he looked strange because of something in his heart, this would be the most fatal thing.
Wandering on the wire rope has become a lifestyle habit for Cheng Qianfan. His answer was casual:
Kentaro Miyazaki is concerned about food hygiene and uses new newspapers to wrap sesame seeds. This reason is very legitimate.
"Kentaro is interested." Imamura Hyoutarou said with a smile.
After all, the sesame cake stall does not use new newspaper packages. He noticed this detail and asked casually. This was out of a careful habit and professional inertia. What he likes most is Kentaro Miyazaki's attitude towards him, respectful, respectful, and at the same time sincerely close.
"This man still has the weak soul of a poet in his heart." Imamura Hyoutarou suddenly said.
"What did the teacher say?" Cheng Qianfan poured himself a cup of tea and was drinking tea comfortably. He didn't hear clearly what Hyoutarou Imamura said and asked subconsciously. "Kentaro, your Chinese literary literacy is also good. Please evaluate this poem." Imamura Hyoutarou handed the newspaper in his hand to Miyazaki Kentaro and said.
"Poetry?" Cheng Qianfan took the newspaper and read it, and immediately showed a look of surprise. "The teacher was talking about this poem by Wang Chuanhai. The student had read it a few times before and didn't pay much attention to it."
"Now analyze this poem." Teacher Imamura began to preach, and he said seriously, "Kentaro, you must remember that there is an ancient Chinese saying that poetry expresses aspirations. From such a poem, we can analyze a lot."
"However, as far as I know, many poets are good at disguise. Taking Li Shen, who wrote "Compassion for the Farmers" as an example, he is actually a luxurious, domineering, arrogant and cruel person." Cheng Qianfan thought.
"No." Hyoutaro Imamura shook his head, "Just take the example you mentioned, Kentaro. If you know Li Shen's true face, and then taste "Compassion for the Peasants", how will you feel differently?"
"The whitewash of the literati, two faces." Cheng Qianfan thought for a while and said.
Hyōtaro Imamura nodded slightly, meaning, isn't this the result of a tasteful study of this poem?
"Students understand." Cheng Qianfan's expression was serious, his attitude was sincere and respectful, "Poetry expresses ambition, whether it is a real ambition or a disguise, it has its research value." As he said that, he softly read the Imamura Bing in the newspaper in his hand. The poem that Taro pointed out. According to the pseudo-central government organ "China Daily", this was Mr. Wang who was worried about his country and his country on the plane from Shanghai to Japan:
Mr. Wang overlooked the broken mountains and rivers and chanted a poem to express his infinite emotion at that time——
The territory is full of green fields, with seedlings like water and trees like moss;
The old farmer's strength has been exhausted, leaving the Sichuan plains to bloom.
"Tsk." Cheng Qianfan sneered.
"What?" Hyōtaro Imamura looked at his favorite student with interest. "Looking at this poem, it is full of emotion, old farmer? Is Wang Chuanhai comparing himself to an old farmer who works for China?" Cheng Qianfan smiled contemptuously.
"What about the last sentence?" Imamura Hyōtaro did not comment on Miyazaki Kentaro's analysis, although from his perspective, the old farmer in Wang Chuanhai's poem is more like a metaphor for China's poor and weak national power.
"The last sentence is okay." Cheng Qianfan said objectively, "According to what the newspaper said, this is Wang Qianhai's attempt to kill the emperor."
A poem written on a plane in China, this sentence should express this person's hope for "reopening the mountains and rivers." "
When he talked about "reopening the mountains and rivers," his tone was a little more serious, and the despicable meaning in his words was not concealed at all.
Not only that, Cheng Qianfan even said to Imamura Hyotarō in a tone of ridicule of Wang Qianhai, "Teacher, Mr. Wang is not really naive to think that the empire worked hard to occupy China, and then gave it to him. Bar?"
Hyōtaro Imamura laughed at first, then he shook his head and pointedly said, "He is a literary politician with a romanticism and a pessimistic soul."
Since the Kuomintang vice-president fled Yucheng and made a public statement of peace, senior imperial diplomats including Hyoutaro Imamura have paid more attention to studying Wang Reclamation. Among them, Hyōtaro Imamura took a different approach and started with Wang's poems and articles. In Hyōtaro Imamura's opinion, Wang Chuanhai has the sentimentality of a scholar in his heart. Let me take as an example a poem written by Wang Chuhai in the twelfth year of the Taisho period of the empire.
This poem is called:
Huanxi sand——
Far away from Qingming, close to Hualan, the gulls are flying and I don’t know how to return. The mausoleum is high and the blue waves are wide. The jade sky is fresh and clear after the new rain, and the green mist melts into the sunset. Sure enough, there is peace in the world. The whole poem has a very bright note, which is just like Wang Quanhai's state of mind at this time.
At this time, Wang Chuanhai was highly regarded by Sun Yat-sen and was entrusted to go to Fengtian to hold talks with Zhang Yuting on his behalf. It can be said that he was very high-spirited.
In the blink of an eye, it was rumored that a woman who was closely related to him committed suicide due to mental stimulation under the pressure of Mrs. Wang. Wang Chuanhai's spirit was greatly hit, and his writing seemed to be full of loneliness.
In Hyoutaro Imamura's view, this is obviously unqualified for a politician who is a representative of the young faction of an important party in a large country.
As a result, Hyōtaro Imamura’s research report on Wang Takumi submitted to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs focused on his research on Wang Takumi’s character:
They are indecisive, sentimental, and have ridiculous romantic thinking. At the same time, they will quickly become pessimistic once they encounter setbacks.
Furthermore, he judged that Wang Chuanhai had a weak personality and was suspicious and repetitive.
Through the study of Wang Chuanhai's poems and articles, Imamura Hyōtaro came up with a character analysis report on the second-ranking figure of the Kuomintang, which attracted the attention of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. This is also Imamura Hyōtaro's most proud academic research in recent years. one.
It is precisely because of this that Cheng Qianfan deliberately chose the layout of Wang Chuhai's poem to wrap sesame seed cakes, just to attract the attention and conversation of Hyoutaro Imamura.
Yes, it's just talk.
The topic caused by this Wang Takumi poem obviously made Imamura Hyōtaro very fond of it. He started the class in a lively manner and explained his analysis and research results on Wang to his disciples.
Cheng Qianfan did not mention Wang Shuhai’s previous secret negotiations with the Japanese in Tokyo, Japan.
He was very cautious and did not even listen to the side attack.
He found another way, or to be more precise, he followed his own preferences without leaving any trace - following the research results of Hyoutaro Imamura:
The focus is on Wang Chuanhai’s character as the topic.
"Can the empire really trust such a literary politician who has no courageous political determination and is sentimental at the same time?" Cheng Qianfan frowned and raised his own question, "Teacher, you also said that this person has a simple and ridiculous personality. Romantic soul——"
He looked at Hyōtaro Imamura, "My feeling is that this man really thinks that after he forms a new regime, the empire will give up the occupied areas."
"Kentaro, I'm glad you can think of this." Imamura Hyoutarou nodded slightly, "Your feeling is right."
He chuckled, "In fact, the empire was very distrustful of Wang Qianhai at the beginning."
From Hyōtaro Imamura's eloquent talk and from the mouth of a senior Japanese diplomat, Cheng Qianfan captured at close range the ambivalent attitude of the Japanese, or rather the Japanese cabinet and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, towards Wang Reclamation.
The most acute point of this contradictory attitude is:
Not enough trust.
The first is the Japanese's doubts about the new regime proposed by Wang Shuhai.
Students who listened carefully to Hyōtaro Imamura's lectures had their own understanding: the Japanese have always been entangled with the nature of the new regime that Wang is planning. Perhaps it is because the Japanese themselves like to engage in "conspiracies". Of course, they themselves believe that this is the strategy of a great power.
To this day, there is still a voice within Japan. They even doubt whether Wang Chuhai's defection and establishment of a new central government was a conspiracy:
Is this a conspiracy between the Wang family and Chang Kaishen?
In other words, from the beginning, some people within the Ministry of Foreign Affairs were deeply skeptical about this.
From Hyōtaro Imamura's mouth, Cheng Qianfan learned that Eiichi Iwai was also doubtful and vigilant about this.
Iwai Eiichi even had a special meeting with Kage Sasakiaki.
Yingzuo Zhenzhao, who has always been in close contact with Wang Quanhai, even admitted that "the concerns of some people in the empire are not impossible."
"Teacher, do you think it is possible that Wang Chuanhai and Chang Kaishen are colluding?" Cheng Qianfan asked for advice while refilling Imamura Hyoutarou's tea cup.
"There is no answer." Hyōtaro Imamura shook his head, "Maybe, maybe not." His expression was solemn, "China has a long history. This huge country has a long history of wars. Wars are accompanied by strategies, and any situation will be different. It’s possible.”
"Have you..." Cheng Qianfan refilled his tea cup and said casually, "We'll find out after we check."
Imamura Hyōtaro nodded thoughtfully, Miyazaki Kentaro's words moved his heart.
His research report tends to be academic. If he wants to achieve further breakthroughs and value realization, he can work hard on specific facts.
No. 313, Aitang Road, French Concession.
This is an apartment building.
Room 306 on the third floor.
Che Luwang coughed several times in succession. He stood up and opened the door and window.
Several people were playing mahjong, and they were all heavy smokers. The room was filled with smoke, which was really choking.
"Six cakes." Zu Yingbai touched a card, rubbed it with his hand, glanced at his mahjong tiles, and threw the card out depressedly.
"It's confused!" Li Wanmao, who was holding a pipe in his mouth, pushed the mahjong tiles, rubbed his hands, and laughed loudly, "Ala is waiting for this tile."
As he spoke, he glanced at Zu Yingbai and said, "Are you out of money?"
Zu Yingbai didn't say anything. He took out an envelope from his pocket and slapped it on the table.
Che Luwang glanced at Zu Yingbai. He recognized the envelope and immediately knew that it contained funds that had just been distributed. To be precise, they were funds for the activities of the fourth detachment of Zu Yingbai's action brigade.
However, Che Luwang didn't say much.
He just glanced at Li Wanmao sitting opposite him.
Li Wanmao is the inspector general of the Shanghai District. Even though he, Che Luwang, is now the special commissioner of the Shanghai District, this is just a false title. In fact, the boss of the Shanghai District is Li Wanmao. To some extent, Li Wanmao, the inspector general, has more power than Shanghai District Mayor Zheng Lijun.
Li Wanmao took a drag on his pipe and sighed happily, as if he didn't see the envelope Zu Yingbai slapped on the table.
Yu Zhengze, who was sitting on the right side of Li Wanmao, had a cigarette in his mouth and turned a blind eye to this.
Inspector Li didn't say anything. As the captain of the operations team, he was nosy, and Zu Yingbai was his subordinate and had always been very filial to him.
Of course, the most important thing is that as a remnant of the former Shanghai Station Chief Wang Tiemu, Yu Zhengze's current position within the Shanghai District is somewhat embarrassing. Shanghai District Chief Zheng Lijun uses him but does not trust him, so he is actively asking Li Wanmao As we get closer, Li Wanmao will naturally follow Li Wanmao's lead in everything.
Otherwise, he would be busy playing cards with Li Wanmao and firing up cannons frequently?
Yu Zhengze's lips moved, the cigarette ashes fell, and he muttered, "Why haven't the girls come yet?"
Mahjong has been played three times, and the girls playing with them have not yet played mahjong.
Arrived, he was a little dissatisfied.
"No need to wait." Li Wanmao glanced at Yu Zhengze, "I didn't let him come over." As he said that, he slowly but skillfully arranged the cards with one hand, took off the pipe with his right hand and placed it on an ivory fighting plate on the table. He went up, glanced at the other three people and said calmly: "You can play mahjong, women, forget it."
"Yes." Che Luwang immediately agreed, "It's better to stay away from the crowds of people waiting. The Japanese have a good nose."
As he said that, he picked up a towel and wiped the sweat from his forehead, "I've heard in Chongqing that Mr.
As he spoke, he smiled, "Boss Dai heard about this and the person who scolded Xue Yingzhen is indeed a fool."
He lowered his voice and winked, "Boss Dai even ate two extra bowls of dinner." Everyone laughed, and Yu Zhengze even almost burst out laughing.
For military commanders, there is nothing happier than making jokes about central commanders. It’s a joke about the central government, it’s politically correct.
