Chapter 1124: Chaos Seven
"Dean, I have heard some news circulating in private, Chairman Wang is terminally ill, I'm afraid he won't last long, and this time he went to Nagoya, Japan for surgery, just to do his best to obey the fate of God." Chen Mingxiang said solemnly.
"The news you heard must be from the Japanese side, and I will also give you an explanation, when Kurokawa Toshio reported his condition to me and Tuohai, he said privately that there is no hope of curing this kind of myeloma, even if it recovers well from surgery, it won't last long."
"The Japanese government has considered this matter, and I will temporarily act as Chairman Wang's current positions and hold the highest power in the military, government, and personnel, while Gao Hai will be in charge of finance and the economy, and will also share some functions for me as a deputy of the Executive Yuan."
"This burden is not easy to pick, you also know, there are mixed factions in the Jinling government, I am barely called Chairman Wang's mansion faction, the Tuohai faction is called the non-mansion faction, and the two groups of people in the Restoration Government and the North China Political Affairs Committee often drag us back."
"Until now, even the Japanese themselves have not been sure that they will be able to withstand the attack of the US army, and they are desperately asking the Jinling government to rob them of resources. Chen Gongbo said with a frown.
In front of his "confidants", he did not hide it and said his truest thoughts, Wang puppet government is now sitting on a broken ship that may sink at any time, the Japanese can't even protect their own homeland, how can they have the ability to shelter Wang puppet government?
People are selfish, as long as there is a trace of the possibility of survival, they will not give up, Chen Gongbo is a person who has experienced strong winds and waves, he knows what the outcome will be if the Japanese are defeated, but now there is no choice, and if he can't hold on, he has to hold on.
"Dean, did you call me to Jinling this time, is there anything I need to do?" Chen Mingxiang asked.
"Brother, your ability has always been appreciated by me, and I feel a little difficult to master such a large military and political organization, and I originally planned to transfer you to the central post as the secretary general of the National Defense Commission to solve problems for me."
"But Shanghai is the economic lifeblood of the Jinling government, and Zhou Gaohai has always wanted to fight for the position of mayor, but Chairman Wang resolutely refused to agree, in order to firmly control this territory in his own hands."
"Thinking about it, I still think it's better to put you in Shanghai, and I will stay in Jinling for a long time in the future, and the personnel of the municipal government will make some adjustments, and I am ready to transfer the secretary-general Zhao Zunyue to the deputy director of the Ministry of Railways, first to pave the way, and then arrange important posts, and transfer Wu Songhui to the secretary-general."
"Chairman Wang has just left Jinling, and it is not convenient to make personnel changes at this time, so I plan to make adjustments at the end of March. Brother, you have to take care of the Shanghai market for me, especially don't let Zhou Gaohai's hand stretch too long. Chen Gongbo said.
He is also reluctant to let go of Shanghai, where the interests involved are too great, and no city can replace Shanghai's status. This time, in the name of handling banking business, Zhou Gaohai proposed to concurrently serve as mayor of Shanghai, but unfortunately, Wang Jingwei vetoed it again.
"Wu Songxi? He used to be the secretary of the Central Political Commissar and the deputy minister of the Ministry of Justice and Administration, and he has been working in the government's Foreign Affairs Committee last year, specifically responsible for taking over the concessions. Chen Mingxiang asked.
"Yes, he used to be in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Shancheng Government, and he belonged to the Mansion faction in terms of relationship, during this time, Chairman Wang was sick, and I was on duty in Jinling, he was willing to move closer to me, according to his qualifications, only the secretary general of the municipal government can weigh it."
"Don't worry, I won't treat you badly, among the officials of the municipal government, except for the mayor is the secretary general, who has the most real power, but you are not qualified enough, I plan to appoint you as the designated member of the Central Political Commissar, as the political councilor of the Executive Yuan and the administrative supervisor of the Shanghai Special Municipal Government."
"As for the police station, I am ready to merge the first police station and the second police station again at an appropriate time, and I will be the chief of the bureau, and you will be responsible for the actual work." Chen Gongbo said.
Chen Mingxiang was taken aback, sure enough, he was leaning against the big tree to enjoy the shade, Chen Gongbo became the leader of Wang's puppet government, and he rose in an instant.
The Central Political Commissar is the highest authority of Wang's puppet government, and its members are divided into three types: ex-officio members, appointed members, and hired members.
The ex-officio members are the presidents and vice-presidents of the five courts, including Wang Jingwei, Chen Gongbo, and Liang Hongzhi, and the five courts are the Legislative Yuan, the Executive Yuan, the Examination Yuan, the Supervision Yuan, and the Judicial Yuan of Wang's puppet government.
The designated members are commonly known as the Central Standing Committee, and they basically have to attend every meeting, Zhou Gaohai, Chen Bijun, Ding Mocun, Mei Siping, Chen Qun and others, Li Shiqun was also a member of the Central Standing Committee before his death, and up to now, there are a total of 18 people.
In addition, the Central Political Commissar also has a kind of hired committee members, to put it bluntly, they come to the meeting to observe and make up the numbers, basically there is nothing to do, which is equivalent to a false title, but the number is not very large, a total of 11 people.
But the problem is that this is a "privilege" only for those big traitors and traitors, and every bigwig who is either a military boss is the boss of a government ministry.
If he becomes a member of the Central Standing Committee of the Central Political Commissar, I am afraid that this traitor hat will cause big trouble in the future, and compared with the Central Standing Committee, the political councilor of the Executive Yuan is easier to accept.
What's even more disgusting is that this is a position with no power, and major matters must be decided by Chen Gongbo and Zhou Gaohai, and the rest of the people just raise their hands, and they don't help much for their own intelligence work.
Although both the commission and Boss Dai knew their secret identities, the common people didn't know that they could drown themselves in the spitting stars, and they had to refuse the appointment no matter what.
"Dean, this political councilor, I will also thank you for your cultivation, as for the Central Standing Committee, I dare not accept the promotion, my qualifications are too shallow to convince the public, and it will also bring you the influence of cronyism, now is an extraordinary time, please forgive me for not daring to obey." Chen Mingxiang was a little flustered.
"What you said also makes sense, then let it go for the time being, or your own people are reliable, everything will be considered for me, you can always stay sane in the face of such a big temptation, it really impresses me, I didn't misunderstand you!"
"There is one more thing to entrust to you, now is a special stage, and Zhuo Xian and He Bingxian sisters, I don't plan to let them come to Jinling for the time being, but I rarely go back, brother, please go over and sit down from time to time and take care of their lives."
"I know you've always been generous, but you don't have to spend your own money for them, I have such an identity, and it's not too difficult to deal with some money, but it's inconvenient for them to come forward, so let's take the account from the Foreign Affairs Office of the municipal government!" Chen Gongbo said.
