November 8, 1938, evening, 7 o'clock.
Chongguangtang.
Tonight, Kenji Doihara hosted a special banquet to entertain the special envoy from Chongqing:
Meng Baifeng!
Today, except for Kenji Doihara, the guests are all Chinese.
Meng Baifeng, Miao Chengfang, Tian Qi, Li Shiqun.
"Everyone."
Kenji Doihara said with great interest: "Mr. Shiqun came to Shanghai. Due to his busy official duties at the time, I never properly greeted him. Today, Mr. Meng also came to Shanghai. It just so happened that I was able to host a banquet to wish China the best." With the goodwill between Japan and Japan, the ***** circle will be realized as soon as possible!"
"China-Japan friendship, long live the ***** circle!"
Several Chinese people raised their wine cups together.
A completely Japanese banquet.
Individual drinks and dishes were placed in front of each person.
"Director Miao, you don't look happy?"
Kenji Doihara noticed the details.
"Your Excellency, Director of the agency, I can't be happy." Miao Chengfang sighed: "I have no money!"
Doihara Kenji couldn't laugh or cry.
After the money was robbed, Miao Chengfang stared at him every day asking for money.
But the problem is that I still have no way to reprimand him.
He smiled bitterly: "Director Miao, don't worry, the newly mobilized funds are already on the way, and nothing will happen this time."
After finishing speaking, I clapped my hands for fear that he would continue to ask questions.
Five geishas came out.
Then, to the music, the geisha danced a Japanese dance.
Doihara Kenji watched with great interest.
Tian Qi felt like yawning.
Meng Baifeng watched intently.
"It is said that Mr. Meng is a romantic and talented man." Li Shiqun, who was sitting not far from him, suddenly said: "Is Mr. Meng interested in someone else?"
"Haha, Mr. Shiqun knows my heart well." Meng Baifeng said with a smile: "I like all five of them. I am very decisive in everything else, but when it comes to choosing women, I love all the beautiful ones."
Li Shiqun said "Haha": "That's difficult. Your Excellency Doihara thinks so highly of Mr. Meng. When the time comes, let him give the order and he will accompany you."
"Hey, it's romantic but not obscene. It's really romantic." Meng Baifeng said seriously: "When you give an order, you use force. Mr. Shiqun knows Japan quite well, and he knows that this Japanese geisha, although It also has the word prostitute, but the meaning is very different. If you want them to be willing to accompany you, they must agree to it."
"Mr. Meng is very knowledgeable and I admire him very much."
"I don't have to be modest about this." Meng Baifeng said nonchalantly: "In addition to my deep understanding of Japanese culture, I am also proficient in Chinese, Japanese, and English. I can converse in French and Latin, and I know a little bit of German."
"Amazing, amazing." Li Shiqun gave a thumbs up.
He knew that Wang Jingwei liked Meng Baifeng very much, and he deliberately got close to him today.
In the future, Wang Jingwei will sooner or later establish a new government with the support of the Japanese. Whether he can gain huge rights in it, Meng Baifeng may play a big role.
After dancing to the song, there was applause.
The five geishas had already received their orders and sat down beside several of them consciously.
"Wait a minute."
Meng Baifeng suddenly said: "I want her to accompany me."
He was referring to the geisha who was about to sit next to Kenji Doihara.
"Oh, why?" Doihara Kenji asked with interest.
"When we were dancing just now, she looked at me three times." Meng Baifeng smiled and said, "What's your name?"
He spoke pure Japanese.
That skill pursed his lips and smiled slightly: "My name is Yamashita Shoyoko."
Meng Baifeng acted as if no one else was around and just looked at Chudaizi: "Tell them, do you like me?"
Good guy, is it really straightforward?
Meng Baifeng's eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts: "Wen Huan went down to Yangzhou and saw each other off at the top of Chushan Mountain. He put his arms around his waist and looked, and saw that the river was not flowing. Come on, Chudaizi, why do I need to come to Shanghai? I'm in a hurry to see you off. Let me hold your waist and I'll take you to see the Huangpu River at night!"
He was already handsome and personable, and he seemed to have magical powers when he spoke. Chudaizi actually walked up to Meng Baifeng and sat down next to him.
Meng Baifeng picked up the wine cup and brought it to Chudaizi's mouth, and Chudaizi took a sip.
Then, Meng Baifeng did not shy away, raised the cup and drank it all in one gulp, laughing "haha": "Drink a drink with a beauty, and kiss her lips, how lucky and wonderful it is!"
Kenji Doihara couldn't help but applaud: "Now I know what a romantic celebrity is. With every gesture, we can make our great beauty, the first generation, willing to serve you. Who can do that except Meng Baifeng?"
"What kind of war do you want?" Meng Baifeng really hugged Chudaizi's waist: "If I have a beauty, it's like I own the world."
"Okay!" Kenji Doihara raised his cup again: "When the **** circle is realized, I will help you find as many beauties as you want! Cheers!"
"Don't forget these words, Doihara-kun, cheers!"
What a joy.
This is the first time Tian Qi meets Meng Baifeng.
"Mr. Tian, please have some wine."
The geisha next to him picked up the jug and poured wine for him.
Tian Qi moved slightly: "Thank you."
His mind was not on drinking at all.
Another traitor is here.
A different kind of traitor.
You have to admit that this is a really charming guy.
"Director Miao, Deputy Director Tian, Mr. Shiqun."
Ken Doihara returned to the subject: "The situation in Shanghai has changed too much at the moment. What do you think?"
Needlepoint's plan against Maimang was formulated by Li Shiqun. He quickly said: "Before, I had predicted that today's situation would happen. My opinion is to continue to persevere and never take a step back. Kill to stop killing. Unwavering!"
"What do Deputy Director Tian mean?" Kenji Doihara turned his attention to Tian Qi again.
"Mr. Li Shiqun's plan is feasible." Tian Qi blurted out: "But the consequences are something we have never thought of before. Mr. Li Shiqun, please don't be angry about what I am going to say next. I know that you once worshiped Ji Yunqing as your teacher. , but Ji Yunqing is a very complicated person, and both cases are related to him."
"It's nothing more than frame-up." Li Shiqun said nonchalantly.
"Maybe." Tian Qi said coldly: "But when a person is used by opponents again and again, then this person will become one of the links among us that is most easily broken through."
"Perhaps, this is what the military commander wants to see." Li Shiqun argued: "We want to control the Shanghai Public Concession, and Ji Yunqing is definitely a very important chess piece. I don't say this because of my special relationship with him. If we adopt an attitude of distrust now, it will only help the military and put us at a disadvantage."
Tian Qisi was unwilling to give in: "Shanghai Tang can only rely on Ji Yunqing, there is also Zhang Xiaolin. Even if there is no one, we can still establish another one. Mr. Li Shiqun, you said you have no selfish motives, I don't think that is necessarily the case. ? Ji Yunqing's existence may not be beneficial to us, but it will be of great benefit to you without any harm."
"Deputy Director Tian, what do you mean by this?" Li Shiqun was a little angry.
The two of them were fighting each other, and the smell of gunpowder gradually became stronger.
But at this time, Meng Baifeng and Shodaizi were feeding me a sip of wine, and I'd feed you a sip of food, and they were whispering to each other, completely indifferent to what was happening.
Kenji Doihara listened with great interest and had no intention of stopping them.
The way to employ people is to have two subordinates who compete with each other, so that all the energy in them can be released.
Tian Qi is a capable person, and Li Shiqun is also a capable person.
Two capable people cannot join forces.
"Okay." Miao Chengfang interrupted the argument in time: "Everyone has his own opinion, and there will be no result in arguing. Who is right and who is wrong will always be proven."
"Yes, yes." Doihara Kenji also took the opportunity to say: "But I believe that both Deputy Director Tian and Mr. Shiqun are all thinking about peace between China and Japan. I hope that in the days to come, , you can cooperate sincerely with each other. There are always arguments, but I don’t think this will affect our career!”
"Ah, are you done arguing?"
Meng Baifeng woke up as if from a dream: "Come, come, drink, drink, have fun, talk about national affairs? In the future, Mr. Wang will establish an orthodox national government, and everyone will be united, and the country will naturally be at peace!"
"Okay, Mr. Meng said it well!" Doihara Kenji said loudly: "Cheers to peace!"
This dinner, excluding the argument between Tian Qi and Li Shiqun, was quite perfect.
Especially Meng Baifeng, who showed off his charm and won the beauty with just a few words.
"First generation son, from now on, you will serve Mr. Meng."
"Hai."
Meng Baifeng seemed to be almost half drunk: "With the beauty by your side, who still wants to drink? Let's go, let's go!"
Kenji Doihara laughed: "Deputy Director Tian, Mr. Meng will now live in your place, and you will be personally responsible for Mr. Meng's safety."
"Yes."
Tian Qi stood up: "Mr. Meng, let's go."
Meng Baifeng held Chudaizi's hand and staggered when he stood up: "Let's go, go, let's go. I sleep in so much. The beauty is with me and I get up even later. Deputy Director Tian, please don't disturb me!" "
"No, Mr. Meng."
Tian Qi and Chudaizi helped Meng Baifeng out and got into the car.
Along the way, Meng Baifeng sometimes recited poems and sometimes sang, which made him really drunk.
When we arrived at our residence, we still refused to get out of the car. Tianqi and Chuyoko spent a lot of effort to get him out of the car.
But as soon as he got out of the car, Meng Baifeng kept retching and covered his mouth sadly.
"He's going to vomit." Tian Qi said hurriedly: "Go back and boil some hot water. I'll let him finish vomiting outside before going in."
"Hai." Shodaiko hurriedly walked in.
At this moment, Meng Baifeng suddenly looked at Tian Qi, and the drunken demeanor seemed to disappear without a trace. Then he suddenly asked slowly:
"How long has Meng Shaoyuan sent you to lurk around the Japanese?"
