Chapter 1301: Patron Saint
Wang Tianmu is arrogant, but he is not a fool, otherwise he would not be able to become one of the district chiefs of the nine special zones of the military command.
When he realized that the other party could really easily take his life, Wang Tianmu wanted to be as obedient as he was, and honestly returned to Zhenshan.
Fang Buwei also believes that after this time, Wang Tianmu will never give birth to Shanghai's thoughts again.
The trouble is solved, but it is not all smooth sailing, Fang is not estimated, Ma Chunfeng's vigilance against "his own people" will definitely rise to another level.
But it doesn't matter, it's just a short-term cooperation, and when the Japanese surrender, this identity will naturally disappear.
Fang Buwei didn't think about exchanging this identity for anything or getting anything.
What he wants, Ma Chunfeng can't afford it......
In fact, Fang Buwei still underestimated Ma Chunfeng's vigilance, and it was indeed because Fang Buwei was too decisive this time, which sounded the alarm for Ma Chunfeng.
Although it can be ascertained for the time being that "my own people" are staunch anti-Japanese elements, they are not necessarily on the side of the Kuomintang.
Under the influence of the chairman, Ma Chunfeng's vigilance against the CCP is stronger than that of the Japanese......
After receiving the secret report from Chen Gongshu, Ma Chunfeng immediately ordered the military commanders of Shanghai and North China to set up a special team to secretly investigate the identity and origin of "his own people."
The investigation from Shanghai is naturally because Fang Buwei appeared for the first time as "his own person", and a series of subsequent activities were all in Shanghai.
Investigation from the northwest is because Ma Chunfeng suspects that "his own people" are likely to be Wang Tianmu's enemies, at least they have grudges.
Otherwise, it is impossible to target Wang Tianmu alone?
Fang Bu threatened Wang Tianmu's actions and successfully led Ma Chunfeng astray.
He didn't know about these situations yet, and even if he did, he wouldn't care, let alone have time to pay attention to them.
In the middle, there was also a little episode: Ma Chunfeng actually asked him to assassinate Wang Jingwei, or the backbone personnel who planned to form a puppet government, and even if it was not good, he had to find a way to sabotage the tripartite negotiations.
Fang is not scoffing.
It's really not a backache to stand and talk, if you can find an opportunity, you still use Ma Chunfeng to remind you?
He did it a long time ago.
It doesn't matter if Qi Xisheng's identity is exposed, or his original identity is exposed.
However, in the previous six months, he made too much movement, and the Japanese were like facing a great enemy, Wang Jingwei, Liang Hongzhi and the backbone personnel of these two departments were like turtles with shrunken heads, and they were protected by the Japanese impenetrable, so they couldn't find a chance at all.
But he wasn't in a hurry.
Sooner or later, the negotiations will end, and it is impossible for these traitors to stay in Shanghai forever, there will definitely be a chance.
After rejecting Ma Chunfeng, Fang Bu seized the time to start dealing with business outside Shanghai, and tried his best to follow this group of traitors to Nanjing.
Since September, he has traveled to Suzhou, Hangzhou and other places to prepare for the establishment of pharmaceutical branches and Qi's Pharmacy to expand the market and open up channels.
Three months later, when it was almost New Year's Day, the two places were settled.
After two years, Fang Buwei returned to this place that made him heartbroken again.
Wang Jingwei and the backbone of the puppet government at all levels will also return to Nanjing in half a month.
In addition to Wang Jingwei and his comrades, there are also Liang Gongbo and Yuan Shu.
Under the control and support of the Japanese side, the tripartite negotiations will soon be concluded, and a puppet government of the Republic of China will be formally formed in Nanjing.
Without fulfilling his wishes, Yuan Shu did not get the position of mayor of Shanghai Special City, and Zhou Fohai still held it.
Of course, it was not the reason why Yuan Shu didn't fight for it, but Fang Buwei took it for granted.
Even Fang Buwei, who is like an idiot about politics and finance, knows that controlling Shanghai is equivalent to controlling more than half of China's financial order, can the Japanese and Wang Jingwei not know?
This position is impossible to fall into the hands of people other than the Wang family.
Zhou Fohai was first the Minister of Finance, then the Mayor of Shanghai, and then the Vice Chairman of the Military Commission of the puppet government.
The two posts of finance minister and special mayor of Shanghai are like being welded together, and they cannot be appointed separately.
For Wang Jingwei, this position is too important to be missed.
At least for one to two years, the mayor of Shanghai will not appoint anyone else, but only a close confidant of Wang.
Even Yuan Shu's biggest backer, Eiichi Iwai, who had taken over as consul general in Shanghai, resolutely opposed Yuan Shu's quest for this position, but won for him the post of chief of the Ministry of Relief under the Ministry of Civil Affairs, based in Shanghai.
To use the analogy of later generations, it is equivalent to a high-ranking official in Beijing.
Fang Buwei sighed a little, but he was not very disappointed.
The bugging device on Yuan Shu's body is still there, and Fang Buwei naturally won't let go of such a good opportunity.
should have listened, he naturally didn't drop a word.
Although Yuan Shu has the strong support of Japan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the support of the highest administrator in the China theater like Iwai Eiichi, in the final analysis, his qualifications are too shallow.
Except for being close to the Japanese, he didn't have anything to offer.
In addition to him, Wang Jingwei, Liang Hongzhi, and Wang Kemin, which of them is not a veteran of the Kuomintang?
was able to get this chief, or Iwai Eichi got it by trying his best to get it.
But fortunately, it was not cooked into a pot of raw rice, and Iwai Eiichi let Yuan Shu stay in Shanghai and continue to preside over the Iwai Mansion.
According to my plan, at the end of March and the beginning of April of '40, I will officially announce the news of the establishment of the new national government.
Until then, the Iwai Mansion will merge with the Mei Agency, and if nothing else, Yuan Shu will be Kagesa Zhenzhao's deputy.
The main responsibility of the Mei organ is to monitor and control the Wang puppet government, and from this point of view, Yuan Shu is equivalent to the emperor of the Wang puppet government.
The only thing that Fang didn't worry about was whether Yuan Shu could gain the trust of Kageza Zhenzhao, just like Iwai Eiichi did to him.
But Fang Bujue is not a big problem.
The Xingya Founding Alliance, which Yuan Shu now represents, was co-founded by Eichi Kagesa-Showa and Eiichi Iwai, and the two worked together for a while.
It was precisely in order to recruit Wang Jingwei that Ying Zuozhen took care of it flawlessly, and Iwai Eiichi had to be in charge of the diplomatic affairs of the consulate, so he handed over the specific affairs of the Xingya Founding Alliance and Iwai Yinggongying to Yuan Shu.
And Yuan Shu's personality has always been calm, not as sharp as Li Shiqun, all the spy leaders in China and Japan have a good impression of him, and Ying Zuo Zhenzhao should be no exception.
It's really not good, Fang Bu is not to cooperate, let him make a few small contributions, make a good appearance, and trust will naturally be there.
Fang didn't believe it, with him, Yuan Shu would definitely be able to climb higher.
He was also prepared: in the future, as long as everything that hindered Yuan Shu, including the assassination of Wang Jingwei, he would not do it without being 100% sure.
Or even make him a full-time patron saint.
