Every time they occupy an important city, the Japanese always like to hold a goodwill meeting.
They also always like to find some unknown foreigners to piece together a so-called international visiting delegation.
This is also a method that Japan has used many times as a last resort in its eagerness to reverse its disadvantageous position in the international image.
In fact, the effect of this is limited.
The irrefutable evidence of the Nanjing Massacre made all their efforts in vain.
But many people always like to deceive themselves. Even though I know it's useless, I will always try it.
The Yangtze River Hotel was one of the best in Wuhan at first, but when Wuhan fell, this hotel suffered.
The contents inside were looted by the Japanese.
It was also later that the Japanese felt that there was not even a decent place to entertain people, which was really unjustifiable.
In this way, the Yangtze River Hotel was renovated before the goodwill conference was held.
A traitor named Jian Tongming was used as the manager.
According to data released by the Japanese, this international visiting delegation came from 19 countries, with a total of 150 people participating.
I don’t know where the Japanese found these people.
For example, some Belarusians who have lived in Wuhan for many years lived at the lowest level in Wuhan before the Japanese came. However, after the Japanese came, they turned into "internationals".
Only God really knows.
Meng Shaoyuan still attended the banquet as a translator for the Washington Herald.
The form of self-service receptions has been very popular since the Republic of China. Before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, big cities such as Shanghai, Nanjing, Guangzhou and Wuhan especially liked to use self-service receptions when hosting large and medium-sized banquets. .
No matter what kind of food guests like, they can help themselves. The owner can also save a lot of effort.
Buffet receptions usually have a dance floor, where you can have fun while eating and dancing.
There are many respectable people here.
Colonel Miza Tokinari of the Japanese Military Police Headquarters in Hankou came, and Nori Nori, the head of the Wuhan Secret Service, came. He also brought a pretty woman.
Ji Guozhen, chairman of the Wuhan Public Security Association, also came, as did Zhang Renli, the unofficial mayor of the pseudo-Wuhan Special Municipal Government, which was being prepared.
As soon as he saw this Zhang Renli, Meng Shaoyuan was furious.
Your father is a famous official of the generation, a representative of the Westernization Movement, and has done so many good things for the local area. How come you gave birth to such a thing?
When Ji Guozhen saw Sophia, his eyes widened.
He is a lustful ghost himself. Sophia is extremely beautiful, and when she enters the venue, takes off her coat, and has a hot body, coupled with the exotic amorous feelings, Ji Guozhen instantly wants to pounce on her right now. .
"Ah, who are these two?" Ji Guozhen came to Sophia and Alison, but his eyes were only staring at Sophia.
"A reporter from the Washington Herald in the United States." Meng Shaoyuan answered for them.
"Ah, America is good, America is good." Ji Guozhen murmured, and then he remembered that there was someone beside him: "Who are you?"
"I am their translator, Andy Lau."
Oh Chinese.
Ji Guozhen was no longer afraid immediately.
Even though it's an American, this is Wuhan, and the Japanese have so much trust in themselves.
I'm sure I'll eat this American chick sooner or later!
Meng Shaoyuan couldn't tell what he was thinking, and smiled slightly: "You said the United States is good? What about the Empire of Japan?"
Um?
Ji Guozhen was stunned for a moment.
"The United States and Japan are the same, but Americans are too comfortable and don't have the perseverance of Yamato people!"
Fanghe Zejiang and Meiza Tokicheng brought the woman over and helped Ji Guozhen get rid of the embarrassment: "Mr. Liu, your words this morning reminded me that nothing is more convincing than the Chinese government officials. I’m so brave, let me introduce to you, this is the former military commander’s latent spy, Zheng Hongshan!”
Meng Shaoyuan's head seemed to have been stabbed with a needle!
Zheng Hongshan, code name:
Pigeon!
not him"!
is her"!
In He Xiuming's letter, "he" was used many times, which successfully misled Meng Shaoyuan, who always believed that "Pigeon" was a man.
But he is using modern people's thinking to view things written by people of this era.
In 1918, Liu Bannong invented the word "she" to replace "his daughter, that woman" in Chinese, but it caused great controversy and even caused an uproar to criticize him.
Twenty years later, the word "she" is still not accepted by everyone. Many old-school people, both men and women, still insist on using "he".
Zheng Hongshan, it’s her!
Meng Shaoyuan was pricked with needles not only in his head but also in his heart.
He has always been opposed to women serving as agents in Shanghai, especially in covert missions, because he knows very well that once a female agent is captured, the experience she will face will be ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times more terrible than that of a male agent!
What kind of nightmare did "Pigeon" suffer from the time he was exposed?
Zheng Hongshan is smiling, but the sadness in her smile cannot be hidden from Meng Shaoyuan!
Meng Shaoyuan also smiled: "Miss Zheng is so beautiful."
"What a compliment." Zheng Hongshan replied politely: "I heard from the director of the agency that Mr. Liu is proficient in Japanese, Chinese, and English. He is really a rare talent. I have also studied the three languages. Maybe We can discuss it.”
"What Miss Zheng said is correct." Norie Hoga said for her: "In the past, Miss Zheng served as a senior translator. Later, she was inspired by the spiritual culture of the Japanese Empire and was willing to stand on our side. Ah, Zheng Miss, these are two reporters from the United States. You can tell them that the military command is a beautiful, terrifying and shameless organization."
"I am willing to tell everything I know." Zheng Hongshan always kept a smile.
"I didn't expect that there would be such a beautiful woman next to the agency director." While Zheng Hongshan was being interviewed, Meng Shaoyuan said to Fanghe Nori with a smile.
"I didn't discover her in the first place." Fanghe Norie lowered his voice: "After her identity was exposed, she was interrogated, and she quickly rebelled. A woman cannot handle those humiliations. We will definitely There is still room for her to be used, so she was sent to Wuhan and I will take charge of it myself. Is Shimamoto-kun also interested in her?"
A woman cannot handle those humiliations.
Meng Shaoyuan's heart began to hurt again. He knew exactly what was meant by "humiliation".
But he still smiled: "Your Excellency, the agency chief, must also appreciate her very much. I don't have that much courage."
"No, no." Faga Norie said calmly: "From an intelligence perspective, she is my person. But from another perspective, she is a woman, and she has committed crimes against the empire, so regardless of whether I Whatever she is asked to do is atonement to the empire. Shimamoto-kun is a romantic person, do you need me to make arrangements after the banquet is over?"
I'm going to blame your ancestors for eighteen generations!
Not only do I have to connect with the pigeon, I also have to find ways to rescue her, no matter how dangerous it is, I have to rescue her!
Meng Shaoyuan had already made up his mind at this time: "Ah, thank you so much for your arrangement, the director of the agency. Can I dance with her later?"
"Of course, you can do whatever you want with her!"
After saying this, Norie Hoga and Tokinari Miza laughed maliciously together.
Most of the guests have arrived, which is the prelude to tomorrow's goodwill conference.
Still the same melody.
The Japanese first introduced the guests to Japan's great achievements in occupying Wuhan.
Then he talked about how Wuhan people welcomed the Japanese Empire and the Imperial Army.
The last thing I want to say is that I hope everyone can come to the Japan-China Friendship Conference tomorrow to see the grand occasion of Japan-China fun together.
Naturally, it attracted a round of applause.
After a lot of nonsense, and the Chinese people specially arranged by the Japanese came on stage one by one, and said countless words about how friendly the Japanese were, the banquet officially began.
Music also sounds at the most appropriate time.
Meng Shaoyuan took a breath and came to Zheng Hongshan: "Miss Zheng, can I ask you to dance?"
Hoga Norie and Miza Tokinari looked at each other and smiled.
The lustful character of "Shimamoto Narumi" has been decided.
It’s not surprising at all that he asked a beautiful woman to dance.
"Of course, Mr. Liu."
Zheng Hongshan stretched out his hand.
Has she rebelled?
What if she did not withstand the torture of the Japanese and actually rebelled?
The moment he arrived on the dance floor, Meng Shaoyuan suddenly had this thought in his mind.
She was indeed ordered to fake a rebellion and conduct a second lurking, but people's psychology will change.
Once the false surrender turns into true rebellion, then there will be no chance for him to escape!
Meng Shaoyuan didn't dare to gamble.
He still has too many things to do.
He gently held Zheng Hongshan's waist and said while dancing: "How did Miss Zheng serve the Empire of Japan?"
"I like Japan." Zheng Hongshan replied calmly: "Japan now is like my second motherland to me. I am very ashamed of what I have done in the past, so I am willing to do anything for Japan. Mr. Liu, Are you satisfied with my answer?"
She mentioned "Japan" three times, each time with more force.
There are two possibilities for this situation. One is that she really fell in love with Japan, and the other is that she hates it in her heart!
Especially the last sentence, "Mr. Liu, are you satisfied with my answer?" contains contempt.
Analyzing from this sentence, the latter mentality towards Japan is more common.
But it's not absolute.
Maybe she doesn't like him as a person?
If we put it in the past, Meng Shaoyuan could basically be sure that Zheng Hongshan hated Japan. However, in this case, he was still not too sure: "That's great, Miss Zheng, I can tell you frankly, I am also a Japanese People. The name I use now is Andy Lau, but my Japanese name is Kimura Takuya."
When he finished speaking, Zheng Hongshan made two actions.
And these two actions finally made Meng Shaoyuan make a decision!
