On December 29, 1938, Wang Jingwei published his infamous "pornography" and openly rebelled against the enemy!
This telegram in response to the equally infamous "Konwei Statement" put Wang Jingwei, the former revolutionary leader, on the path of shameful treason!
On January 1, 1939, the Chairman delivered a "New Year's Day Speech" in Chongqing.
In his speech, the Chairman angrily denounced both the "sexually explicit news" and the "Konoe Statement" as plots to split the National Government and undermine the determination of the Chinese nation to resist the war to the end!
He also denounced that these two telegrams are "really hidden in the bones of mechanical blades! This is the enemy's total confession of all delusional plots to devour China, dominate East Asia, and then attempt to conquer the world; it is also the enemy's entire attempt to destroy our country and destroy us. The total exposure of all the plans of the nation!”
Wang Jingwei's open rebellion did plunge the early Nationalist Government into chaos, but this was short-lived and brought unexpected benefits to the Chairman himself and the Nationalist Government.
The Chairman took this opportunity to eliminate the "peace faction" within the government in one fell swoop, eradicated most of Wang Jingwei's influence, and consolidated his absolute dictatorship as the sole leader of the country!
Secondly, after Wang and Japan colluded, Western countries issued statements one after another to uphold the "Nine-Nation Pact"; the U.S. Congress soon passed loans to China; Britain, France and other countries even deployed troops to strengthen the defense of the Far East before the outbreak of the European War.
The dawn of the war of resistance appears!
On January 10, 1939, Japan held a goodwill conference in Wuhan.
Meng Shaoyuan, the acting director of the Shanghai latent area of the Military Command Bureau, attended the meeting alone and successfully connected with the hidden agent "Pigeon" of the Military Command Bureau. He successfully brought back information and eradicated traitors in Wuhan. Ji Guozhen, the president of the "Wuhan Public Security Association".
After the Japanese discovered that Ji Guozhen was missing, they searched all over the city. On the third day, they finally found Ji Guozhen's body in a guest room of Ankang Hotel.
It was winter, and Ji Guozhen's body showed no signs of death.
From the on-site investigation, it was found that all Ji Guozhen's belongings had been looted. On the surface, it looked like a robbery and murder case, but Miza Tokinari and Fangga Norie knew that this case was not that simple.
But the difficult part now is that Ankang Hotel is owned by another traitor, Zhang Renli.
According to the joint sitting law enacted by the Japanese, Zhang Renli is definitely involved. However, the "Wuhan Special Municipal Government" is about to be established, and it is not appropriate for the Japanese-appointed mayor to be arrested by the Japanese.
Later, Ji Guozhen's looted watch and valuable snuff bottle were found in a pawnshop in Wuhan.
Following the clues, the gendarmerie quickly found the person responsible for these things:
The cook of Zhang Renli’s family!
According to the chef's explanation, a young man stopped him when he was buying groceries and told him that he was a pickpocket and asked him to pawn the stolen items in a pawn shop and he would get half the money.
The greedy cook agreed immediately.
However, the so-called "pickpocket" was nowhere to be found in the city.
The Japanese have to face the same problem:
It’s Zhang Renli again!
It is another object that cannot be implemented by the continuous sitting method.
"It's all a conspiracy." Miza Tokisei felt helpless: "Zhang Renli was framed, but we have to give an explanation to the dead Ji Guozhen."
Therefore, the Japanese finally announced the results of the investigation:
Ji Guozhen's death was an accidental robbery and murder case. The murderer has been caught and the case has been solved.
In private, because Zhang Renli was involved many times, the Japanese decided that Zhang Renli would pay a large sum of compensation to Ji Guozhen's family.
Being a traitor is really not that simple.
At this time, Meng Shaoyuan, the initiator of all this, had already left Wuhan and completed the meeting with Xiaozhong and Li Zhifeng's ten guards.
Xiaozhong and Li Zhifeng had been waiting impatiently in Dayuwan for a long time, especially Li Zhifeng. He wanted to go to Wuhan to find the superior several times, but Xiaozhong persuaded him to stop.
Now that I see the chief finally coming back safely, I feel relieved.
"Sir, this is Li Songye, the president of the Dayuwan Carver Guild, who can also be regarded as my family." Li Zhifeng introduced the old man who came out to greet Meng Shaoyuan.
"Thank you, President Li." Meng Shaoyuan shook hands with him.
The carver's guild here is not the official contact point of the military command, but only a peripheral organization.
"You're welcome, sir." Li Song always looked like he was in his sixties, but he seemed to be in good spirits: "We people don't have any other skills, we only know how to carve. After the Japanese occupied Wuhan, the young and strong The younger generation have all joined the anti-Japanese army, leaving us old people, women and children behind. It is our honor to do something for the superior today."
Meng Shaoyuan nodded: "It is not convenient for us to stay here for a long time. The Japanese are very likely to come here. It is time to say goodbye."
Li Songye suddenly asked: "Sir, are you going back to Shanghai?"
"yes."
"Sir, how are you going to leave?"
Well.
Meng Shaoyuan was stunned for a moment.
Yes, it’s easy to say, but how to go back?
"Actually, I have one more thing I want to ask of you, sir."
"President Li, please speak."
"Sir, please follow me."
Then, Meng Shaoyuan saw a group of children.
The oldest is twelve or three years old, and the youngest is probably only six or seven years old.
After clicking, there were twenty-eight.
What's the meaning?
"Sir, this." Liu Song also called the eldest child: "His name is Shang Heng. His father is Professor Shang Yetongshang of Wuhan University, and his mother is a reporter. When the Japanese army bombed Wuhan, his parents, together with My elder brother, sister, and a younger sister who was only two years old all died, leaving only one single seedling in the entire Shang family. And this."
He called another child who was only six years old: "His name is Wu Zhikuan. His father was the commander of the second company of the second battalion of the Wuhan Military Police Regiment. He died heroically while defending Wuhan. His mother died early. His only relatives, uncle and aunt, were evacuated from Wuhan. When he was traveling, he encountered the Japanese, and in order to protect him, they were all killed by the Japanese."
Meng Shaoyuan suddenly understood: "Are these children orphans?"
"Yes, they are all orphans." At this moment, a voice sounded, and then a person came out from the next door with two children no older than seven or eight years old: "This boy, named Jiang Mingchun, is The son of Jiang Xunke, the president of the Wuhan Anti-Japanese Mobilization Pioneer Association, this girl is called Qin Fandie. She is the daughter of Qin Guangchun, the captain of the fourth brigade of the third column of the Wuhan Loyalty Rescue Corps. They are also orphans now. .”
As soon as he saw this man's dress, Meng Shaoyuan suddenly felt a headache.
If not the Fourth Route Army, where else could it be?
"Hello, Mr. Meng." The man let go of the two children and shook hands with Meng Shaoyuan warmly: "Let me introduce myself, I am the former 3rd Battalion of the 40th Regiment of the 14th Brigade of the 5th Division of the Fourth Route Army. Instructor Lu Kunlin. Currently the detachment leader and political commissar of the second detachment of the Southern Hubei Guerrilla Column, I am very happy to see you here and hope that we can have further cooperation."
The other party called him "Mr. Meng" when he came up. Without even thinking about it, he already knew his identity.
Meng Shaoyuan didn't have to hide anything anymore and laughed a few times: "Thank you for meeting me, I'm Meng Shaoyuan, acting director of the Shanghai latent area of the Military Command Bureau."
"Mr. Meng is famous as a thunderbolt." Lu Kunlin said with a smile: "Mr. Meng walked in and out of Wuhan alone, as if he was in a deserted place. The most powerful agent on the surface lived up to his reputation. I have learned from this."
As he spoke, he glanced at these children: "They are all orphans. Their parents died fighting the war. Some came here by themselves, some were rescued by us, and some were protected by President Li regardless of their lives. But Wuhan has been controlled by the Japanese army and they can come to Dayuwan anytime and anywhere. It is not safe for children to stay here."
"What does Captain Lu mean?"
"We would like to ask Mr. Meng to take these children to Shanghai or other safe places." Lu Kunlin said seriously: "Their parents are heroes, so this can be regarded as something we have done for them."
Meng Shaoyuan asked: "Your troops are running behind enemy lines and frightening the Japanese pirates. I guess it won't be difficult to take away these children, right?"
"It's not difficult, it's not difficult either." Lu Kunlin said, "But my second detachment has just been established and we are unable to escort these children. There is no need to hide this. And I reported this situation to my superiors. The opinions of the superiors, Most of these children have lived a good life since childhood. You also know that the conditions in our Fourth Route Army are very difficult. I am afraid they will not be used to it. In order to allow them to continue their education, it is still necessary to send them to safe big cities. of."
"After being a hero, it's understandable for me to protect Yuan." Meng Shaoyuan pondered there for a moment: "But to be honest, we were in great danger from Wuhan to Shanghai, and we had so many children with us. If something happened, their parents and I would be in the spirit of heaven. , I can’t explain it! Captain Lu, I can’t bear this responsibility.”
"If even the strongest agent on the surface can't bear it, who else can bear this burden?" Lu Kunlin said with a smile: "We have designed two routes back to Shanghai for you. One is the northern route, leaving Wuhan in the east and ending in Huangshi. , passing Huangmei, passing Hefei, then turning southeast, crossing the Yangtze River to Nanjing, passing Zhenjiang, Changzhou, Wuxi, Suzhou and arriving at Shanghai.
The other is the southern line, which goes from Wuhan to Huangshi, turns south across the Yangtze River to Jiujiang, passes through Lushan Mountain, turns southeast to Jingdezhen, passes Wuyuan, leaves Jiangxi in the east, reaches Huangshan, then goes east to Hangzhou, West Lake, and then to Shanghai. In comparison, the northern route seems to be more suitable. Not only does it not need to cross the river, but our guerrillas and the guerrillas of the military command can also support us. "
Okay, you have made all the arrangements for me, what if I don’t accept the mission?
Meng Shaoyuan thought there for a long time: "Since Captain Lu has mentioned this, then I am also duty-bound. The journey is difficult, but I will try my best to protect these children. Captain Lu, do you have a radio?"
"There is one."
"It's generous, and there are radio stations." Meng Shaoyuan gave a thumbs up: "Send a telegram to Shanghai for me, saying, 'I am in trouble, take the children, take the northern route, return to Shanghai from Wuhan, and respond!'"
What kind of telegram is this?
