The influence of Wang Zhaoming's treason continued to ferment. At first, it was just the big shots, then students, then workers, and gradually at the end, even the farmers who cultivated two acres of thin fields in the fields and could not read a word of Chinese characters also knew that Wang Zhaoming was Who understands what such a person as tall as the sky is doing?
Thousands of people point at it, and all the people condemn it. Wang Zhaoming seemed to be unaware of it, and indeed he was not aware of it. After all, he was in Vietnam. If no one told him about the situation in the country, he would not know about it. He knew that he would definitely be scolded, but after all, he didn't hear much of the scolding, and it had a limited impact on him. If it came to the later Internet era, he would be able to feel the power.
Therefore, even though everyone in China shouted for Wang Zhaoming to be beaten, it did not delay him from discussing further treasonous matters with the Japanese in Vietnam. From time to time, he would also make public remarks, irritating many people's nerves. The newspapers were filled with various editorials, all of which criticized Wang Ni.
As the largest city in Asia, Shanghai has more educated people here. They are scholars, students, workers, or other professions. There is a stronger political discussion environment here, and people avoid talking about doctrines and doctrines when meeting people. Talking about ideals, the Sino-Japanese war, and the world's great powers, of course, it can't be quiet here.
"Wang Zhaoming betrayed the country and the nation..."
On the streets, students and workers held large banners and protested in the streets and alleys. The scene was spectacular and the crowd was furious. They stared, the veins on their necks were visible, they raised their clenched fists high, they denounced Wang Ni and cursed Japanese imperialism.
They are very courageous, even in the Public Concession and the French Concession. There are people in Hongkou who are ruthless. But not at the Japanese consulate, but at the puppet government. They crowded the long street and shouted slogans desperately.
In the teahouse on Father Jin Road, Wang Yan was sitting in a private room facing the street on the second floor, drinking tea. Below him was a crowded Japanese crowd.
Drinking tea with him were other detectives from the three Central Patrol Rooms including He Shaohong, Shi Changxing, and Gu Yongcheng. Qi Si was leaning on the window to watch the excitement. There were two small patrol officers at the door. Guards with guns.
Wang Yan is no longer a nobody, he just has no airs. Of course, in the eyes of some people he is still an ant. Otherwise, Mao Qiwu would not have listened to Dai Yunong's order and done seven or eight things, thinking that he would be killed if he did not agree to delegate power.
But now, even if Dai Yunong wants to threaten to kill him like last time, he has to think carefully for two days. Because he has successfully been promoted to the position of Inspector General of the Central Patrol Room and has become the most powerful Chinese in the French Concession, even though he used to be. But there is always a difference between going up and not going up. After all, he now has more than 300 patrolmen with guns, which is quite different.
Gu Yongcheng sighed: "Brother Yan, all our sites have stopped, and many workers have gone out to work. Those who didn't go can't do much work, so we simply gave them a holiday. It would delay things too much." .”
"It's just the past two days. I heard that they still have the guts to make trouble in the Japanese-occupied areas? It's just a waste of lives. We don't want human lives, but these people below will have to earn a few days less salary. There are several mouths up and down the house, all asking for trouble."
Wang Yan paused, took two sips of tea, and looked at Gu Yongcheng: "But we always give preferential treatment, so just treat it as a holiday. I'll pay you the wages as usual for these two days, and there won't be any difference."
"You are so kind and righteous." Gu Yongcheng gave a thumbs up.
Wang Yan shook his head and smiled, not paying attention to this, and asked the other two detectives: "You two are from the Youth League. It was you who scolded Wang Ni for asking a thief to have sex with a hoe girl. What else is going on?" when?"
When they get to the position of detective, they can't get there without a certain amount of wisdom and skill, and without a gang background. Wine and rice bags are all dead. These two detectives are no exception, they are both human beings.
A fat peacemaker with a kind face and kind eyes that makes people think he is easy to talk to. He is in his forties and has some gray hair. His name is Qu Wanping. The other is that his body is relatively strong. Kong looks powerful, but his height is only a little over 1.7 meters. He feels very stocky and he is in his forties. Because he is physically strong, he looks much more energetic than Qu Wanping. His name is He Xing
. These two people are from the Qinggang Wu generation, and they are very capable, otherwise they would not be alive today.
Wuzi generation is the best gift Lin Hongyuan, a damn old man, gave to Wang Yan, making him as senior as these Qinggang gangsters. Otherwise, even if strength is respected, it will still be disgusting. Otherwise, why did that old boy Huang Huangrong set himself up as a heaven-born person? He just refused to accept it.
Qu Wanping shook his head and said with a smile: "It will take another two days. There is nothing we can do about the orders from above. You tell me, everyone is huddled together to keep warm. Now I am rushing to give eye drops to the Japanese. I have not been able to sleep for the past two days. Having nightmares."
"What does this have to do with us? If we don't organize, those students and workers won't take to the streets to fight?" He Xing became much more straightforward. He said, "I don't believe that the Japanese really dare to kill such people." Many people."
"Did they kill less people in Nanjing?" Wang Yan drank tea and said with a smile: "But as long as they don't go too far this time, the Japanese probably won't kill people, they will just suppress them. After all, they have made money. Big advantage, the bigger the momentum, the more advantageous it is for them. This Wang Zhaoming is really powerful. He went to Vietnam quietly and created such a big thunderbolt. I think the revolution in China is difficult."
He Shaohong continued: "Whether the Chinese revolution is difficult or not has little to do with us. We don't help or hinder others, we just guard this three-acre land without any delay. Let’s make money and enjoy it.”
"This is the truth. Let others do the fighting between life and death. No matter who wins or loses, we are the ones who have to do the work."
A group of people just laughed like this, just like the masterminds behind the storm in the city who remained standing. Count them all, they are all trying to make war fortune and have no country or nation.
After talking for a while, Qi Si over there looked at his watch and said, "Brother Yan, the time is up, we should go."
"It's already noon, what else is going on? There's a new Cantonese restaurant that opened recently. It tastes good. I'll be the host. Let's go have a drink?" Qu Wanping stopped him and invited Wang Yan, the new commander, to have dinner with him.
Wang Yan waved his hand: "The deputy consul general of the Japanese Consulate, Mr. Eiichi Iwai, made an appointment with me for lunch. I don't want to go, but is there a chance to refuse? You go ahead and eat. I'll treat you later. Let's go now."
After leaving the teahouse, we walked some distance to a deserted alley and got in the car, then took a detour towards Hongkou. ****, there are only a few major roads, but other places are still very smooth. The scale this time is indeed very large. There are basically no people on other streets, no less than the previous Marco Polo Bridge.
It was a smooth journey to a Japanese food shop in Hongkou, and it was actually much faster than before. However, he rarely wanders here, and he always comes at night.
In a Japanese-style room, Wang Yan met Eiichi Iwai, who was wearing a Japanese kimono and sitting upright on the Japanese tatami.
Wang Yan took off his shoes, walked over and sat cross-legged across from him: "Long time no see, Mr. Iwai. You told me before that you were going to Hong Kong for a business trip for a while. But now, I think it's because of Wang Zhaoming's business, right?"
"Haha, Mr. Wang, you are indeed a smart man. The relationship is easy to understand. Yes, I was requested by Colonel Yingzuo Zhenzhao to cooperate with him to complete Wang's evacuation from Chongqing. Yingzuo You know it well, Colonel Zuo. He was the one who single-handedly controlled Wang's departure from Chongqing. I only cooperated with him to do some auxiliary work. He has also heard of you. If there is an opportunity in the future, I can introduce you to him."
"Then thank you Mr. Iwai." Looking at the proud smile on Eiichi Iwai's face, Wang Yan said with admiration: "You have done such a big thing this time, Mr. Iwai should be promoted, right?"
"His Majesty the Emperor and the cabinet have issued a commendation order, which can be regarded as a commendation. As for the promotion you mentioned, I have already reached the end. If I get promoted higher, I can only return to work in Japan. In comparison, I would rather stay in China. , this is a place I am familiar with. In nine months, I will be forty years old. I came to China when I was eighteen years old and studied at East Asia Tongwen College. It has been almost twenty-two years now, and there are many things in my life. How many twenty years? China is such a nostalgic place..."
"Oh? Mr. Iwai, you mean that you want to stay in China for the rest of your life?"
"Do you think you can't stay? Your *** vice president has his heart set on the Empire of Japan and wants to join *****'s great plan. Do you think you can't stay?"
The echoes back and forth, the former question and the latter affirmation, express Iwai Eiichi’s strong confidence at this moment. I believe other Japanese people feel the same way at this moment. This is really normal. When Chinese people are discouraged, Japanese people are more arrogant. Wang Zhaoming has done great things.
"You know, I always tell the truth, and I hope you won't blame me." Seeing the little Jaap nodding, Wang Yan said, "During the battle in Wuhan, you had the same idea, but in the end, although Chongqing was defeated, it still did not surrender. Today The situation is changing rapidly, but I thought that Wang Zhaoming could not decide so much. When Wang Zhaoming arrived in Vietnam, I heard the news and got to know Wang Zhaoming a little bit. He was on the losing side within the Communist Party; The power was taken away by Chiang. The only thing that was useful might be the title of vice president."
Iwai Eiichi laughed: "I admit that last time we thought too simply. But Mr. Wang, you have to know that the Japanese army was defeated across the board. Today in China, the richest eastern region is all under our control. , how long can *** last? As for the problem you mentioned about Wang Zhaoming, of course we know it, but Mr. Wang, how many smart people like you do you think there are in China?
Those farmers who farm the fields and the soldiers who fight in the war, do they know these political struggles? They didn't know that. What they knew was that the number two figure in Japan had defected to the Empire of Japan. They know that such a big figure has taken refuge with us, so it doesn't matter if they take refuge with us.
In the future, when fighting, as long as Wang comes forward, the besieged Chinese *** team will no longer resist. This will greatly weaken their will to resist and reduce the burden of the Japanese Empire's war effort. You know, our governments supporting the Chinese people everywhere are now doing their own thing, but now, we have Wang, we have a unified government, which is a good thing in terms of administrative efficiency and management. "
Wang Yan cupped his hands to express his acceptance, and asked, "Mr. Iwai, so Wang Zhaoming is coming to Shanghai soon? Or is he going to Nanjing?"
"It will first go to Japan, meet with His Majesty the Emperor, and discuss everything with the cabinet ministers, and then it will come back. If nothing else, the first stop it will land on is Shanghai. But it will go to Nanjing in the future. After all, that is The Imperial City of the Six Dynasties was also the capital of the previous Chongqing government. This time we want to establish a national government that shares weal and woe with the Japanese Empire, so it is a perfect place."
Eiichi Iwai watched the waiter in the hotel serve the food. He picked up a piece of fish sashimi with his chopsticks and said, "Mr. Wang, use your chopsticks quickly. We have eaten together many times, and I know you have a big appetite and prefer delicious food." Today’s sashimi is bluefin tuna fished from Hokkaido and specially transported by plane. The owner of this shop is also a famous chef. He has good knife skills and can make the most authentic and delicious Japanese food. Wang-san, please."
Wang Yan first offered the little devil a glass of wine, and then started to eat heavily. There was a table full of food, but the plates were not big enough for him to eat.
"Mr. Wang has such a good appetite. We have eaten so many times, and we have eaten a lot of Japanese food. We should be used to it by now, right?"
"Sorry, Mr. Iwai, I have been accustomed to Chinese food since I was a child, and I have an authentic Chinese stomach. Even today, I have eaten Japanese food many times, but I still feel uncomfortable."
Wang Yan shook his head, looked at Eiichi Iwai who looked a little serious, and changed the subject with a smile: "But I don't have many advantages, and one of them is that I am not picky about food. I am not used to it because I have been eating for almost thirty years. Chinese food, while I only eat Japanese food a few times. But if this time is extended and I eat it for a year or two, wouldn’t I just get used to it?
To be fair, Mr. Iwai, if you had not been eating Japanese food since you were a child, you would not be used to Japanese food after eating Chinese food for 20 years, right? "
Iwai Eiichi laughed: "You are right. There was a time when I felt like this. I was in Changsha at that time and missed the taste of my hometown very much. But when I ate pure Japanese food again, I felt It turned out to be nothing. I have to say that people are so fickle. Come on, Mr. Wang
,drink wine. "
After drinking a glass of Japanese sake and watching Wang Yan continue to eat and drink, he asked: "I heard that you have been promoted to the Inspector General of the Central Patrol Room. I haven't congratulated you yet."
"Thank you Mr. Iwai, but there's nothing to congratulate. I didn't even place a drink. This position belongs to me and no one else can sit in it."
"You Chinese like to talk about luck. I think you are lucky now. In the past year, your luck has been very good. From a small captain to your current position, your business has more than doubled. It's amazing. ah……"
"Mr. Iwai's false praise is just a coincidence. There is an old Chinese saying that good fortune and misfortune depend on it. Now I am careful every step I take, and I don't dare to make mistakes. My life is too tiring."
Eiichi Iwai shook his head and said, "You chose this path yourself."
"If not, the French wouldn't let me be the inspector general, and I wouldn't be of greater value to Mr. Iwai, right?"
"I'm very pleased that you haven't forgotten our agreement."
Wang Yan picked up the wine glass with a smile and took a sip: "How dare you forget, Mr. Iwai. I have business dealings with you, other officials in the consulate, and the generals of the army and navy. This is The shackles are one after another, but they are also indestructible ties. Mr. Iwai, in fact, we have been our own people for a long time. It is meaningless to stick to the same name. Again, if I had said it earlier I have taken refuge in you, how can I have today’s Inspector General?
In fact, you are back. You should inform me early. How about I treat you to dinner? Your call was so sudden today that I had already run to the street to maintain order. Recently, I have acquired two new antiques from the Ming Dynasty, one is an inkstone and the other is a brush washer. It is most appropriate to give them to you as a writer. Today is not a coincidence, I will have someone deliver it to you tomorrow. "
"Hahaha, then I will be disrespectful. But I also have a gift in return. I have two bottles of top-notch Jutsudai sake, which were given to me by my friends in China. I know you like drinking, so I gave them to you. Give it a try, it’s very rare.”
"Thank you, Mr. Iwai, please."
The two of them talked nonsense, laughing from time to time, as if they were really happy. Just like that, they ended their lunch. Wang Yan left here and returned to the French Concession.
Eiichi Iwai came to see him today for nothing else. He just went to Hong Kong for a while and came back to see if he was still obedient and if he had any other ideas.
There was no special agreement between them. It was nothing more than that they would share the confidential information about the French Concession with Eiichi Iwai and cooperate with their actions so that the business would continue to grow bigger and stronger.
Wang Yan said this to all the Japanese, and of course he did so, but it was nothing very critical. The Japanese also know that otherwise, how could he become the inspector general...
In the evening, the day's fighting is over. Everyone has to go home to eat and have a good rest before fighting tomorrow.
Wang Yan arrived at the hotel as usual and had his extravagant dinner. Opposite the restaurant, there was still the same group of little beggars. They didn't get any leftovers from him at noon. Wang Yan knew by reading his lips that these little beggars were scolding Wang Zhaoming and those **** people for eating too much. of.
They were lucky. Qi Si still gave them some care and paid for medical treatment when they were sick. At last, no one died, but a few lost a lot of weight. They were recovering from serious illnesses. Otherwise, this winter, I am afraid there will be fewer old faces and more new ones.
While Wang Yan was drinking and eating, he was listening to the evening broadcast on the radio, which was all about recent major events. *** is one way of saying it, the Red Party is another way of saying it, and the Japanese are another way of saying it. It’s very lively.
After listening, Qi Si silently stood up, took the plate and left. Not long after, Wang Manchun sat across from him with a gust of fragrance: "Did Mr. Iwai see you today?"
"We had lunch together."
"What?"
"I haven't seen him for several months. He was trying to knock me down. He was worried that I would be too arrogant after being promoted to Inspector General. He helped me calm down."
"It's time to settle down, the recent
*** was all caused by the Youth League. You still don’t know how many people from both parties are involved? The recent chaos is most convenient for them to do their jobs and keep us busy, so as not to cause any trouble. Yes, I know that you are the chairman of the Youth Federation in name only, but in name, you are still the chairman. This time Section Chief Nantian is unhappy. I guess she is going to kill a lot of them. "
Wang Manchun winked at Wang Yan, meaning your chance has come, and then looked at the buzzing radio on the side: "I never listened to it before, why do I listen to it every day these days?"
"It has never been so lively before. This is what I heard." Wang Yan said with a smile: "I heard from Eiichi Iwai that Wang Zhaoming will establish a national government in the future, and your opportunity is coming. As far as I know, Wang Zhaoming also has capable people under his command, and it’s time for you to play your role. You are also close to the Extra-High School, and it was Yoko Minami who single-handedly promoted you. When the time comes, you will be the first choice for Sanding, and your position will definitely not be low."
"It's so ugly to say it, why do you mix it with sand? You are the sand."
Wang Manchun glanced at Wang Yan, let out a long breath, and said, "No one knows the details. I don't need to investigate to know that the military commander, the central commander, the Red Party, and other so-called patriotic People, they are all planning to "sanction Wang Ni Zhaoming". Who knows whether he can survive?
And I heard that Wang Zhaoming was assassinated before. The bullet was not removed from his body, and he was said to not live more than ten years. He was assassinated in 35 years ago. It has been three years now. Who knows if old wounds will be affected or if there will be any accidents? It’s better not to be happy too early, otherwise, no matter how happy you are now, you will be disappointed then. "
"You better understand." Wang Yan didn't even raise his head, he just praised him.
At this moment, a burst of electricity sounded from the radio placed aside, and then a female voice came: "We are reporting missing persons news now. Ma Hongyi, the cousin of the third uncle's family has come to Shanghai to seek refuge. He is now at the Friendship Hotel, please go there as soon as possible..."
Wang Manchun curled his lips and hummed: "It's people from the two parties who are looking for trouble again. They are contacting people. Look, what did I say? They must be taking some action. The more chaos there is, the more chaos they will make."
"I know it's a liaison between the two parties, so arrest him."
"Why do you think we can catch it? We have been paying attention to this radio station for more than a year. We don't even want to hide Wang Laowu and Zhang Laosan..."
