After successfully blocking Minister He in the office, Wang Zhaoming did not immediately explain his intention, but sat on the sofa and gossiped with Minister He. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Since Wang Zhaoming is not in a hurry, Minister He is also happy to pretend to be stupid. Minister He walked from behind the desk to Wang Zhaoming and sat down on the sofa opposite Wang Zhaoming with a teacup, and was very polite to Wang Zhaoming, but there was no useful word in his mouth.

Minister He and Wang Zhaoming have both been politicians for many years, so they are naturally familiar with dealing with this kind of scene. According to the practice in officialdom, this set of Tai Chi between them will be played for a long time, and then it is time to talk about business.

As he spoke, Minister He kept looking at Wang Zhaoming, who was sitting opposite, and he hadn't looked at this veteran figure of the Wuhan government so carefully for a long time.

Wang Zhaoming was an authentic little white face when he was young, and his wife Chen Bijun chased him for many years before becoming Wang Zhaoming's partner.

Wang Zhaoming, who assassinated the regent more than 20 years ago, was really a good man admired by many female students, and he was a romantic man. But as time passed, the brightness on Wang Zhaoming's face was gradually replaced by gloom, and his behavior became very different from when he was young.

Now, as the spiritual leader of the low-key club and the representative of the "surrender faction" within the Wuhan government, Wang Zhaoming's reputation inside and outside the government is really stinking enough.

Especially after the two recent victories on the battlefield in Wuhan, the main battle faction in the government took the opportunity to vigorously suppress the "surrender faction", and Wang Zhaoming's life became more and more difficult.

It's really hard to imagine what made Wang Zhaoming's thinking change so dramatically.......?

After about five or six minutes, Wang Zhaoming finally had a plan to start, and he said to Minister He in a somewhat distressed tone:

"Brother Jing, today in the Executive Yuan building, a few foreign reporters asked me about the progress of the war on the front line, especially the situation of Huang Youchen's encirclement and annihilation of the 27th Division in Susong, but I really don't know how to answer... In the end, I had to deal with it under the pretext of military secrets, and I was really embarrassed to think of my reaction at the time......"

The focus of Wang Zhaoming's remarks fell on Huang Haoran, indicating that eighty percent of what he was going to do this trip was related to Huang Haoran. This is a bit strange, Huang Haoran has always been a general who is highly praised by the main battle faction, how can he have any intersection with Wang Zhaoming, the leader of the surrender faction?

So Minister He said with a smile: "The Executive Yuan is not the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and Chairman Wang can push out such a thing!" You must know that there are also bad foreign correspondents, and a few days ago, didn't the Wuhan Garrison Command arrest a foreign correspondent who worked for the Japanese intelligence agencies? The ...... that made a lot of noise"

"What Brother Jing said makes some sense.....

After listening to Minister He's words, although Wang Zhaoming still had a smile on his face, he was very troubled in his heart! How could Minister He not understand what he meant? Such a pretending to be deaf and dumb reaction was actually Minister He telling Wang Zhaoming that he He Jingzhi did not intend to buy his Wang Zhaoming's account!

Regarding his embarrassing position in the Wuhan government, Wang Zhaoming has a number in his heart.

Although in the ruling party, his position is second only to the highest authority; But Wang Zhaoming has almost no real power in the government. It can be seen from this that the highest authorities have always taken special care of Wang Zhaoming, an "old friend" who helped the former prime minister write his will.

Guided by the attitude of the highest authorities, most government officials chose to distance themselves from Mr. Wang.

Wang Zhaoming, who was isolated by his colleagues, felt that he had completely lost his political future in the Wuhan government, so he decided to follow his own "path of peace" and entrusted Mei Siping, Gao Zongwu and others from the "low-key club" to make private contacts with Japan.

For Wang Zhaoming, taking this step is actually very difficult. As Mei Siping said: "This matter is really difficult, and if it is done well, of course, it will be beneficial to the country; What's not to be done, Mr. Wang's glorious history of more than 30 years is only afraid that people will write it off. Wang Zhaoming himself understands how big the price of this step will be! Not only is it writing off the glorious history of more than 30 years, but it is even being pointed out by thousands of people and scolded by thousands of people!

The only thing that can comfort Wang Zhaoming is that he really found a "master and faction" in Japan, and he responded with an olive branch, and that person was the head of the branch of the Japanese Army General Staff Headquarters.

After a series of military defeats, the Japanese government gradually became troubled by the prolongation of the Sino-Japanese war, and the cabinet became interested in Kagesa Yoshiaki's peace plan. So in early July 1938, under the mediation of Kagesa Akira, Gao Zongwu held talks with the Japanese Minister of War Itagaki Seishiro. During the talks, Gao Zongwu put forward a plan for Wang Zhaoming to set off a peace movement from outside the government, hoping that the Japanese side would provide favorable conditions for Wang Ching-wei's departure. The Japanese side agreed to support Wang Zhaoming's "peace movement."

Soon after Gao Zongwu returned to China, he was hospitalized due to a recurrence of lung disease, and Wang Zhaoming could only ask Zhou Fohai to reassign Mei Siping, secretary and director of the Political Strategy Department of the Military Commission, to replace Gao Zongwu in secret negotiations. Between August 29 and September 4, 1938, Mei Siping held five negotiations in Hong Kong with Matsumoto Shigeharu, Prime Minister Konoe's personal representative, and Mei Siping forwarded the Japanese content to Wang Zhaoming, who, after two full days of consideration, announced to his small group members that he had decided to lead the "peace movement."

A few days ago, Wang Zhaoming, Zhou Fohai, Mei Siping, Tao Xisheng, and Chen Bijun held a secret meeting to draw up a specific plan for the "peace movement."

Wang Zhaoming decided to divide his "peace movement" into three phases: first, he left Chongqing, announced his resignation from the Wuhan government. Then the Japanese government immediately issued a statement advocating peace talks with China; 2. Wang Zhaoming, in his personal capacity, issued a response to the Japanese government's peace initiative and suggested that the Wuhan government cease hostilities; 3. Local powerful people in Yunnan and other places responded to Wang Zhaoming's call by telegram, and then established a new independent government in Yunnan and other areas not occupied by the Japanese army.

In order to ensure a smooth departure from Wuhan, Wang Zhaoming should have kept a low profile in the recent period. However, a telegram from Ying Zuo Zhenzhao made Wang Zhaoming unable to keep a low profile anymore.

Ying Zuo Zhenzhao asked Wang Zhaoming in the telegram to find a way to let Huang Haoran leave Tianjia Town and go to the front line of Susong! And also to put an eyeliner next to Huang Haoran, and inform the Japanese of Huang Haoran's whereabouts at any time!

It's something you can't do if you want to keep a low profile! But Wang Zhaoming didn't dare not agree! So he could only come to Minister He with a hard head, hoping that he could gain something. (To be continued.) (To be continued.) )
