Sending all the guests away one by one, the uncle and nephew returned to the room with a smile, Uehara Junpei was full of joy, the banquet went smoothly, his nephew behaved impeccably, and the participants spoke highly of Fujiwara Tomohito, and they all expressed their closeness one after another, to a certain extent, as the uncle of the Fujiwara family's descendants, the two complemented each other, and their position in the army was also consolidated to a certain extent.

Junpei Uehara drank a lot of wine today, his face was ruddy, his interest was undiminished, and he said to Ning Zhiheng with a smile: "The generals attending today's meeting are all powerful factions in the army, especially the two division commanders Ishimura and Yamada, they are closer to me, you should go around more." ”

Ning Zhiheng immediately nodded and agreed: "I will visit them one by one in the near future, I plan to visit the Commander-in-Chief of Nishio and Chief of Staff Sakagaki tomorrow, but I don't know what their preferences are?" ”

Uehara Junpei naturally knew about these situations, he cheered up, carefully explained to Ning Zhiheng, introduced the situation and preferences of these people, and then the two talked for a long time, and Ning Zhiheng said goodbye and left.

In the next two days, Ning Zhiheng brought heavy gifts and visited several important people respectively to further strengthen the relationship between them, and the effect was very good.

Just when Ning Zhiheng was trying to make friends with the high-level of the Japanese army in Central China, in downtown Shanghai, in the interrogation room of the secret service headquarters, Luo Jiana, who was already unbearable, finally opened his mouth under the severe interrogation of Mi Zijin.

He told his true identity and explained the situation on the line, but so many days have passed, and when Mi Zijin rushed to arrest people according to his confession, the building was already empty.

Luo Jiana, no, Zheng Jiayuan naturally knows this, with his strong perseverance, under extremely painful torture, he has been suffering for so many days, just to buy time for his upline to transfer, until he estimates that the time is almost up, and his body really can't support it.

Not many people can withstand the never-ending inhuman torture, and to be able to persevere until now, Zheng Jiayuan has exceeded everyone's expectations.

However, although Zheng Jiayuan opened his mouth, his upline and downline had fled without a trace, and he was completely a kite with a broken line, which had no intelligence value, so Mi Zijin had to ask Luo Xingchao, a director of the department who temporarily presided over the work.

Luo Xingchao knew the situation, he was very sorry on the surface, but he was secretly happy in his heart, this was almost the best result, he ordered Zheng Jiayuan to be treated, temporarily save his life, and wait for Li Zhiqun to come back to deal with it.

At this time, Li Zhiqun, who was busy in Nanjing, could not take care of these things, and in the office of the minister of police, he and his boss, Zhou Fushan, then chairman of the Nanjing government's secret service committee and former minister of police, once again broke out into a fierce conflict.

It turned out that after the reshuffle of the puppet government, when Zhou Fushan knew that Li Zhiqun was designated as the Minister of Police, he was naturally anxious, and he and Li Zhiqun were at odds, and even did not hesitate to meet each other, which was already a well-known thing.

Although he is said to be the director of the secret service committee, the real power of the secret service committee is in the hands of Li Zhiqun, he just has an empty position, he was able to fight with Li Zhiqun before, and all he relied on was the armed forces of the police department, but now he is going to be taken away by Li Zhiqun, so he will have no right to speak in front of Li Zhiqun in the future.

But this matter was decided by Hiroki Kagesa himself, even Wang Reclamation could not be vetoed, so Zhou Fushan found another way, and after asking Wang Reclamation for instructions, he urgently promoted his brother-in-law, Yang Shurong, the former chief secretary of the Ministry of Police, as the executive secretary of the Ministry of Police, so that even if Li Zhiqun served as the Minister of Police, but because his main force was in the Shanghai Secret Service Headquarters, he must have taken more care of Shanghai's affairs, and when he left Nanjing, the work of the Ministry of Police was actually presided over by the Executive Secretary, This is tantamount to hollowing out Li Zhiqun's real power, and Zhou Fushan is in control of the police department in disguise.

But Li Zhiqun is the most greedy person, how can he be willing to suffer this secret loss! No, after he officially took over as the minister of police in Nanjing, he immediately proposed to Wang Reclamation to reappoint his confidant Deng Zuhui as executive secretary, so that he could preside over his daily work when he was not in Nanjing.

Wang Reclamation knew that Li Zhiqun had the support of Yuki Kagesa behind him, and at this critical time, he was unwilling to regenerate branches, so he agreed to Li Zhiqun's proposal.

But this made Zhou Fushan's wishful thinking come to naught, now in Nanjing, not in Shanghai, Li Zhiqun has no one under him, he is not afraid of Li Zhiqun's troubles, not to mention that he is now the No. 3 person in the Nanjing government, and also the important position of the Minister of Finance, full of confidence, so he personally came to the door.

In the office, the two people quarreled fiercely, Zhou Fushan was extremely dissatisfied with Li Zhiqun, and after many persuasions without a solution, he finally bluntly threatened: "If you insist on going your own way and insisting on removing Yang Shurong, then don't blame me for being ruthless, in the future, you will be asked to save some money for the funds of the Ministry of Police and the Secret Service Headquarters, and now the new government is in ruins, and there is a shortage of funds, and I don't have extra funds for you here!" ”

The implication is that he wants to deduct the funds of Li Zhiqun's two departments, Li Zhiqun suddenly red-eyed, the funds of the secret service headquarters were not much before, and he still needs the support of the shadow agency from time to time, plus he has collected a lot of money in Shanghai, which has supported it, and now the stall of the Ministry of Police is not small, if Zhou Fushan really stuck his neck, this day will be really sad.

He pointed at Zhou Fushan and said viciously: "I, Li, am not scared, if Minister Zhou really dares to do such a desperate thing, we will go to Mr. Wang and the director of the shadow agency to fight a lawsuit, I want to see who has the last laugh!" ”

"Then wait and see!" Zhou Fushan was not afraid of Li Zhiqun's threat at all, he knew in his heart that even if the Japanese supported Li Zhiqun again, and even opened their mouths for him and asked for the post of Minister of Police, it was impossible for them to directly intervene in the financial management of the puppet government, because it was too ugly, even Wang Reclamation would never be able to afford to lose this person, and in the end it was a big deal to reprimand himself.

But now the puppet government's finances are already tight, this is a fact, everywhere is stretched, as long as he finds a little excuse or two, he can easily prevaricate the past, this kind of officialdom is simply pediatric, Zhou Fushan is naturally familiar with it, so he is also secretly determined to give Li Zhiqun a good look!

Seeing Zhou Fushan slamming the door and leaving, Li Zhiqun was so angry that his face was flushed, it seems that this police minister is not easy to be, Li Zhiqun has a strong personality, never willing to compromise and give in, coupled with the lack of officialdom experience, and it is difficult for him to integrate with the royal family, which makes him seem out of place in the puppet government system.

Now that I have come to Nanjing, I have left the base camp in Shanghai, and I have lost the confidence I had in my previous power, and under the rejection of others, intentionally or unintentionally, I feel that I have made enemies on all sides and are struggling.

Especially now that his own forces cannot enter Nanjing, seeing Wen Hao's rise and growing stronger in Nanjing, there is already a tendency to replace himself, Li Zhiqun is even more anxious, and he feels that his position is unstable.

Zhou Fushan's blatant threat to him today is a signal, he knows very well that if Zhou Fushan really finds an excuse to embarrass him, he really can't prevent it, but he is afraid that he is dumb and eats Coptis chinensis, and he can't say anything about his suffering.

Li Zhiqun was annoyed, but he couldn't help but regret a little in his heart, what he thought before was too simple, leaving Shanghai and coming to Nanjing may not be a good thing!

At the end of the month, March 30, today is the day when the puppet government officially set the capital of Nanjing.

Early in the morning, under the supervision of the police department, the whole city of Nanjing, under the supervision of the police department, hung the red national flag all over the blue sky and the white sun, but unlike the national flag of the Chongqing government, the national flag of the Nanjing government added a triangular yellow cloth ribbon, on which were written "peace, anti-communism, and the founding of the country" six big characters, which looked quite funny!

The military and political dignitaries of the Nanjing government, as long as they were qualified to appear on the stage, all dressed up in suits and leather shoes, and well-dressed, rushed to the new Nationalist Government auditorium early to prepare for the so-called ceremony of returning the capital.

Of course, Ning Zhiheng was not in the mood to watch this farce, he had been busy in the past few days, visiting powerful figures in the military circles in Central China, but today these generals would go to watch the ceremony and return the ceremony, so Ning Zhiheng simply rested for a day.

However, he was not idle at home, and had to pay a visit to Fujiwara Kaisha, where he, the president, had not been there since he had visited a few days ago.

So the group went out and rushed to the Fujiwara Club in the east of the city, and along the way, they saw the blue sky and white sun flags with triangular streamers planted everywhere on both sides of the street, and couldn't help but snort coldly and said, "It's really nondescript, it's hard for them to come up with it?" ”

When Yi Huaan heard this, he was also quite disdainful, and said: "This is a mandatory requirement of the Nanjing government, every household, including all businesses, must be hanged, otherwise they will be arrested immediately." ”

Ning Zhiheng didn't care, at this time he suddenly saw the flow of people gathering on the street, and someone began to pull banners with slogans in their hands, so he ordered: "Drive slower and see what's going on?" ”

When the driver heard this, he quickly slowed down, and the vehicle slowly drove past these crowds, Ning Zhiheng could see clearly through the car window, these slogans and banners were all congratulating the establishment of the national government, as well as some slogans of the peace movement, and he couldn't help but be secretly surprised.

Yi Huaan hurriedly explained: "It is said that the original 'Damin Society' organization established by the original government was hired by citizens who spent money to hold some parades and celebrations, all of which were acting, and they looked better on their faces. ”

Ning Zhiheng was unhappy in his heart, and snorted coldly in his mouth: "It's just stupid, ridiculous!" ”
