The world is undercurrent and turbulent. There is no hope for the horror that is happening, and the horror that has not happened is brewing. That is the delusion of careerists.
Maybe some people know it in advance, but most people don't know. Even if they do know, some are just excited, because the more chaotic it is, the more benefits they will get.
Shanghai is still like that. The poor people have earned money to support their families because of a stable job, and because their children have learned more knowledge, they chattered to them during dinner, drank a little wine, and had a short period of time. hapiness. The next day, I was worried about the changing prices and the rampant Japanese people on the streets. They could not feel the prosperity of Shanghai.
And most people who can feel the prosperity of Shanghai can also see the dangers hidden behind the prosperity. Although they are not worried about their livelihood, they are anxious about their business and their future, and they are worried about not being able to control their own destiny, but they all have smiling faces.
In mid-August, the place where the Japanese Consulate held a cocktail party was once again crowded with celebrities. The theme this time was a meeting between Wang Zhaoming and colleagues from all walks of life in Shanghai, organized by the Japanese.
Although it was said to be a meeting, Wang Zhaoming didn't stay here for long. He just made a speech at the beginning of the reception, raised his glass and drank with everyone, and then left with Kenji Doihara.
This is scary because the people invited to the cocktail party are a mixed bag. Although they are celebrities, the ingredients are obviously difficult to grasp. With so many people, if they were mixed into the two parties, or if some people simply worked for the two parties, it would not be impossible to exchange the extremes on the spot. Among so many people, there are definitely people from both parties, but I don’t know who they are.
For example, Wang Yan's composition is very difficult to determine. He is the inspector general of the Central Patrol Office of the French Concession, a gangster from the Youth Gang, and the most popular big capitalist now. He has more and more employees every day and controls a lot of resources. He does business with both parties openly. Everyone thinks that he is not a member of the two parties, but everyone remains skeptical. Those with low energy and low presence are naturally more difficult to distinguish.
In Hanoi, he was almost killed, and in Shanghai he was attacked and killed by the military command Shanghai Station. It is normal for Wang Zhaoming to be cautious and act like a bastard.
Kenji Doihara, this is not an unfamiliar name. After the war, this Class A war criminal was hanged. But now people are living very well and are very energetic. He served in the military and was an army lieutenant general. Because of the preparations for the establishment of the puppet regime, that is, the planning of Wang's treason, he served on the "Special Committee on China" and also established the Dofeiyuan Agency in Shanghai to be responsible for this matter. Ying Zuozhen Zhao worked under him.
Wang Yan knew Wang Yan and had dinner together before, and was introduced by Eiichi Iwai. As an army lieutenant general, even without Eiichi Iwai's introduction, he would have realized it sooner or later as he became more deeply bound to the Japanese. Nothing else, he is a big fat pig, do you want to take a bite of his flesh...
Although Wang Zhaoming is gone, those under him are still there. For example, Zhou Fuhai and Wang Zhaoming have been responsible for most of the communication problems with the Japanese since their escape. In addition, there were Mei Siping, Gao Zongwu and others who followed Wang Zhaoming and believed that China would perish in the war of resistance.
This Gao Zongwu was a little different. He served as a senior diplomat of Wang Zhaoming's puppet government. Later, together with Tao Xisheng, he took a copy of the secret agreement between Wang Zhaoming and Japan and absconded. They published a letter under his real name in the Ta Kung newspaper, jointly exposing the details of Wang Zhaoming's treason and the Japanese dismemberment of China. His ambition caused a sensation throughout the country and was known as the Gaotao Incident.
Although it was still in the draft stage and had not been signed for implementation, the content of the document was already disappointing. This made some capitulationists within the Chongqing government who wanted to follow Wang Zhaoming give up their original ideas and determined to fight to the end.
But even so, Wang Yan had no interest in getting closer to them. Because it is already difficult for him to rely on three things, and now that the Wang Zhaoming regime with Japanese support has emerged, such a party with a certain degree of autonomy and half power will make him even more sad. Although that is not a problem for him, it still requires a little more energy. Isn't it uncomfortable and happy for him to go to the dancing girl during that time?
However, when a person reaches a certain status, there are some things that he cannot hide from if he wants to.
Zhou Fuhai followed Eiichi Iwai and the accompanying people from both sides to the corner and found Wang Yan who was eating and drinking with Wang Manchun.
Zhou Fuhai is forty-two years old this year. He wears black-framed round glasses, has a slicked back hair, and his forehead is exposed. He has a decent appearance. He is over 1.7 meters tall and is not very strong, and his body is a bit thin.
Standing with a short and stocky little Japanese like Iwai Eiichi, there is still a bit of joy in watching him. If you take a photo and look back decades later, it will even make you think.
Zhou Fuhai is Chinese, and Iwai Eiichi is Japanese. Zhou is tall, Iwai is short, Zhou is thin, and Iwai is strong. Zhou is a little bowed down, while Iwai, a little Japanese, is straight, as if he is the taller one. . Since the Han and Tang Dynasties, China and Japan can be seen 80% of the difference in these two people.
"Wang Sang, I knew you were hiding here eating and drinking again. How about today's food and drinks? Are they to your taste?" Eiichi Iwai walked up to Wang Yan affectionately and patted Wang Yan's arm, laughing and asking.
Wang Yan also laughed: "Of course that's good. How could the chef at the consulate be so bad? Otherwise, what would Wang eat here?"
Talking nonsense at the beginning, Eiichi Iwai learned this very well. In other words, the Chinese are not the only ones who like to talk nonsense. There are so-called worldly things everywhere, and people are already very proficient.
He pointed at Zhou Fuhai with a smile: "Wang Sang, this is Mr. Zhou Fuhai, Mr. Wang's right-hand man. Zhou Sang, this is Wang Yan. You should be familiar with him, right?"
Zhou Fuhai said with a smile: "Mr. Wang is the Chinese with the most famous name in this huge city of Shanghai. Your name has been well-known to me since I was in Chongqing. I saw you today, and you are indeed a talented person."
"Mr. Zhou is ridiculous, Mr. Wang is just a small French Concession Inspector General, and he has some money at best. In front of a big shot like you, there is no big name. Come on, Mr. Iwai, Mr. Zhou, and everyone, I Here’s to everyone.”
Wang Yan's attitude towards Zhou Fuhai was equal, he did not respect him very much, and he was not in a subordinate position.
Although Zhou Fuhai is very good, he used to be the deputy director of the Bald Attendant Office, and also held high positions such as deputy director and acting director of the Central Propaganda Department of the Kuomintang, but now, Zhou Fuhai is not enough. Although Zhou Fuhai still has a high status now, Wang Yan can't keep a low profile. What can Zhou Fuhai do to him?
To be honest, they have more of a symbolic meaning. They have some real power, but some of them are only real power that harms the Chinese people in the Japanese-occupied areas. In other respects, he is not as big or as deep-rooted as Wang.
But we can't look down on Zhou Fuhai. He ranks third in the list of traitors, and it's not for nothing. When the Wang Puppet Government is established in the future, if money should be given to others, then it must be given. It's just that Wang Yan doesn't have to pretend to be a grandson on Zhou Fuhai's side.
Speaking of which, Zhou Fuhai is also a powerful person. He was a member of the Red Party in his early years and was a major representative. He was also elected as the deputy secretary of the Red Party and even acted as secretary. Later, he gradually left the Red Party and joined the Kuomintang. Now, he is following, or rather encouraging, Wang Zhaoming to join the Japanese. A few years later, he contacted the Kuomintang in turn, showed his loyalty to Dai Yunong, and set up a secret radio station to provide intelligence about the Wang puppet government to the military commander.
He is a typical fence-sitter. When the Red Party first formed an association, he felt that the Red Party was not good enough and would find it difficult to develop and grow, so he joined the Kuomintang. After reaching a high position in the Kuomintang, when the Japanese invaded China, he felt that the Kuomintang was not good enough and took refuge with the Japanese. After taking refuge with the Japanese, I found that the Japanese were not as powerful as I thought, so I turned back to the Kuomintang, but never once saw the wind in the right direction.
Whether he has been in the Red Party or the Kuomintang, his position will not be low and his achievements will not be bad. Even if it is a red party, then the party history will unfold in another way. Why do you need to show your loyalty to Dai Yunong in the end? He has always stayed in the Kuomintang. If it were not for Bald's preference, Dai Yunong would really not have a higher position than him. If we engage in politics properly, we will actually have a bright future.
But this is something that comes later. After all, Zhou Fuhai doesn’t know that much.
But there is no doubt that he is a villain who has no country or nation, and is a man who rides on the fence according to the prevailing circumstances.
The little man sitting on the fence drank a glass of wine and looked at Wang Yan with a smile: "Now that the new National Government is about to be established, Mr. Wang is the pillar of Shanghai Beach. In the future, we will have more contact and get closer."
Wang Yan nodded repeatedly: "This is natural. The National Government has been established. Although Wang is an errand of the French, he can do business later, so Mr. Zhou must take care of it. Today's occasion is inconvenient, so Mr. Zhou, please wait. If you are free for a few days, Wang will be my host. Then we can talk in detail. If possible, I hope you can help introduce Mr. Wang so that we can have more cooperation."
"Of course, the long-term stability of the National Government depends on the support of pillars like you."
Iwai Eiichi laughed and said: "You can work together to make the new government better and make *** better. Okay, you can talk about these things later, Wang Sang, you continue to enjoy the food and wine, let's go Meet other people.”
Wang Yan shook hands with Zhou Fuhai and watched them walk away with a smile. Then he wanted to turn around and go back to continue eating and drinking, but saw two people staying here.
Wang Yan knew these two people, one was named Ding Mocun and the other was named Li Shiqun. The Wang Puppet Government has not yet been established. After it is established, Dingmo Village Council will be the director of the Secret Service Headquarters of the Kuomintang Central Executive Committee of the Wang Puppet Government, and Li Shiqun will serve as the deputy director. This secret service headquarters is the famous and notorious Seventies Number six. However, Ding Mocun is part-time, and he will also serve as Minister of Social Affairs. Li Liqun is the actual person in charge of No. 76.
Dingmo Village was brought here by Li Shiqun to join the Japanese, and they had crossed paths before. Li Shiqun had already defected to the Japanese.
Wang Yan was polite to Zhou Fuhai, but he was not very cold towards these two people. However, it was always right to smile at everyone. He was still very polite and asked with a smile: "You two have something to do with Wang?"
Ding Mocun has a high position, so he spoke first: "The new government is about to be established, and the matter of the special committee has been decided. Miss Wang will be the director of the Intelligence Department. I heard Yoko Minami from the special high school said, you give them It revealed some information about the French people and also facilitated the operations of the Extraordinary High School within the jurisdiction. So I would like to take the liberty to ask Mr. Wang to please take care of our work in this regard in the future. After all, it is true that Get up, we are a family."
Li Shiqun followed up and said: "Yes, Mr. Wang, our work needs your support most. Of course, we will also help with your business. According to our preliminary plan, in the future, goods entering and leaving Shanghai will need special agents. Only the certificate issued by the committee can be passed. At this point, we will never embarrass the property in your name."
Both of them were famous executioners, but their attitude towards Wang Yan was more polite than the other. Wang Yan has too many identities, one on the left and one on the right. They don't have the guts to cause trouble with Wang Yan. Not to mention anything else, their relationship with the Japanese alone is not something they can compare to. Is that really doing business? Besides, Wang Yan himself is the leader of the Youth Gang and is closely associated with the two parties. They can't control Wang Yan. Word.
Of course there is nothing wrong with this kind of thing for Wang Yan. But in fact, even if he did tell No. 76 some information, it would be in vain, because they carried out the operation under the supervision of the Iwai Mansion and the Super High School Division. The military police even sent a detachment of soldiers to station at No. 76. Number. If there is any major action, we must ask the Japanese for instructions as soon as possible. We have autonomy, but some of it is the autonomy to join the Japanese in attacking the personnel of the two parties behind enemy lines. Others are just delusions.
Wang Yan nodded with a smile: "It's easy to say, everything is easy to say. If anything happens in the future, I will tell Manchun. Isn't she the head of the intelligence section? It's her job. As for actions, don't worry, as long as it doesn't cause too much trouble. The movement should not disturb the foreigners, and do not kill or injure the civilians in my jurisdiction without reason. If you accidentally injure them, as long as the compensation is in place, I will know nothing."
"That's the best. That's it, Mr. Wang, we won't bother you any more."
"After a few days, your affairs have been settled. Wang will serve wine and treat you to dinner. Be sure to show your appreciation when the time comes."
"Then it's settled, we're waiting for your news."
Ding Mocun and Li Shiqun shook hands with Wang Yan respectively, turned around and left, following Zhou Fuhai and his party to meet other celebrities from all walks of life in Shanghai.
Wang Manchun, dressed in a white dress, came over and said, "What did they say to you?"
There was no respect in her words because she was not afraid of these two men. She was the person placed by Nantian Yoko at No. 76. Although she was nominally and actually led by Li Shiqun, she could not listen either. It's just not necessary. When you are working for someone else, you must give her the face you deserve. She is not stupid, she just said so to Wang Yan behind his back.
"What else could it be? It's just that I will inform them of any information in the future, and help cover up operations in my jurisdiction." Wang Yan took the cup and let the waiter pour the wine, took a sip, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I I really don’t understand, what key information can I, a person who does not participate in the core of the public board of directors, know? The super high school has to ask, Iwai Eiichi has to ask, and now these people who work for the Japanese have to ask.”
"It's just the two of us, there's no point in pretending to be stupid with me. It's not that you don't know, you just don't tell me. I don't know who was the spy who caught the Japanese in the first place and leaked the French secrets like a dumper. intelligence."
"Look, it's so rare to be confused. You have to expose me. In fact, I'm pretty good doing business with the Japanese and don't participate in anything. Otherwise, how could I be the inspector general? The French are not vegetarians. They eat everything inside and out. No one can have a good job. Just like Zhou Fuhai, who was born in the Red Party, later defected to the Kuomintang, and now he defected to the Japanese. Such a duplicitous person, I don’t think his face looks like he will live a long life.”
"What? Did you learn face reading from Master Zhao? Ding Mocun, Li Shiqun, which one of them is not from the Red Party? Which one is not from the Kuomintang? Which one has not defected to the Japanese? Do you think they will live long?"
"They're all short-lived."
Wang Manchun frowned: "Are you talking about them, or the Japanese?"
"Of course I'm talking about them. I can't see the Japanese clearly. I said before that they sold cigarettes to the Kwantung Army to raise military expenses. But for such a long time, I haven't heard about the Kwantung Army. I don't understand..." Wang Yan shook his head and changed the subject: "Come on, Director Wang, I didn't even congratulate you on your promotion. Let's have a drink."
Wang Manchun rolled his eyes, but still drank with a smile. She was happy. Hundreds of people in the Intelligence Department were all under her control. She was finally in power. How could she not be happy?
But when she was happy, someone happened to spoil the scene with her bad words.
Wang Yan ate and muttered: "I heard that your old friend is coming back? Is he going to join the new government and engage in economic development?"
"How did you know?"
"I am now the most powerful capitalist in Shanghai. Economic matters are matters for capitalists like me. There are so many people in the chamber of commerce, and your uncle is still the president. I can't think of such a thing. It’s hard even to know.”
Wang Manchun frowned and said: "There is no way. Minglou is very capable economically and has done very well abroad in the past few years. The previous candidate for the Economic Secretary was assassinated. After thinking about it, my uncle can only let him come back to preside over the economy." .”
"Do you suspect there is something wrong with Minglou?"
"What a coincidence..." Wang Manchun was a little unsure: "It seems like everything is just to bring him back. Besides, in my line of work, I should be suspicious of everything. If there is any problem, I will find out if there is any problem. I have asked someone to I’m going to investigate, I believe there will be results soon.”
Wang Yan clicked his tongue, shook his head and said with a smile: "We can't keep things secret between the two of us, are we in trouble now?"
Wang Manchun said nothing and drank by himself, ignoring Wang Yan. Although she said she didn't care, she felt quite complicated when Minglou was coming back. After all, there had been a period...
At the same time, on a passenger plane from Shanghai to Hong Kong, Wang Tianfeng put down the newspaper in his hand and looked at the sky outside the window.
The injury he had been recovering from for two months was finally almost healed, but because of his failure, which resulted in losses to the Juntong Shanghai Station, he was transferred back to the Juntong Special Training School in Changde, both for training and for a period of cold training. bench. The person who succeeded him was Chen Gongshu, who had just been benched...
Of course he was dissatisfied. During the past two months of recuperation, combined with the current situation that the Wang Puppet Government was bound to be established, he conceived a plan, which he called the "dead time". It was he who proposed Minglou's return to his superiors. Obviously, Dai Yunong accepted his proposal.
Without thinking about that much, he turned his head and looked back. In the aircraft maintenance room, Guo Qiyun nodded to him.
He missed the fat man Tian Biao a little. That boy always put him at ease when doing things. Unlike the current Guo Qiyun, he has no brains. I heard that life in Chongqing is booming now, and I don’t know how much weight I have gained. This time when I go back to Chongqing to report on my work, I have to see if the fat man has died in the gentle countryside behind.
He looked at the little blond foreign girl walking in the aisle of the cabin, and looked at the young man reading a newspaper sitting in the same row with him and sitting next to the porthole on the other side.
"What are you looking at?" the little foreign girl walked up to the young man and asked.
Mingtai put down the newspaper and saw that the little girl was cute. He folded the newspaper and showed a kind smile: "I'll do a magic trick for you."
"What magic?"
Mingtai didn't answer. He fiddled with the newspaper and pulled out a red rose from the folded newspaper.
"Wow, that's awesome."
"Hey, I gave it to you."
"Thank you." The little foreign girl took the rose and ran back to her father's side.
Mingtai looked at the little girl's father and nodded with a smile. When he wanted to turn around and sit upright, he noticed Wang Tianfeng who was in the same row as him.
Of course he didn't know Wang Tianfeng, but he just looked at Wang Tianfeng's stern face and dead eyes, and instinctively felt that this guy was not easy to mess with, so he avoided looking and ignored him.
Not long after, the flight attendant came over with a trolley and asked the guests if they wanted anything to drink...
