Chapter 61: The dog jumps over the wall

9.61 Dog jumps over the wall

"What? The commission decided to let Jiang Baili take over Huang Haoran's position? Is this news reliable!? ”

Although the call was made by Zhou Fohai in person, Wang Zhaoming still couldn't believe it! Obviously, the highest authorities have shown great disregard to Huang Haoran in the past few days, and public opinion in the government has also been one-sided against Huang Haoran. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info How could the situation suddenly take a 180-degree turn?

"You can't go wrong! Brother Zhaoming! The letter of appointment issued by the highest authority was personally delivered by me to the confidential office! It will be officially announced tomorrow morning at the latest!"

Zhou Fohai on the other end of the phone obviously didn't expect things to develop like this, and Wang Zhaoming heard Zhou Fohai's voice a little depressed. It seems that Zhou Fohai's mood has been hit by this incident!

In addition to being Wang Zhaoming's follower, Zhou Fohai also has an errand in the attendant room, and he is also the deputy director of the second division of the attendant room, which is very close to the position of the highest authority. Most of the information that Wang Zhaoming betrayed to the Japanese several times before was obtained through Zhou Fohai's way, and all of them were full of gold!

Therefore, the fact that Jiang Baili will take over the position of director of Huang Haoran's "Aid Receiving Office" must be true! This is really bad news for Wang Zhaoming!

Wang Zhaoming knows very well what kind of officials in the Wuhan government are! A person who can be a wallhead grass must first have a pair of good eyes that can distinguish the direction of the wind! Not only are these people not stupid, but they are also very good at reading words! Wang Zhaoming can now imagine that as soon as this personnel appointment issued by the highest authority is announced, the officials who were originally following Wang Zhaoming's pawns because of their interests will immediately disperse! Maybe I'll give those under-the-table transactions to you! A small group involving Wang Zhaoming!

In this way, the efforts made by Wang Zhaoming's small group to bring down Huang Haoran these days can be regarded as completely wasted......

"Brother Zhaoming, what should we do now? You can't just watch Huang Haoran's salted fish come back to life, right? On the Japanese side, I need to explain... Whether or not it can help the Japanese get rid of Huang Haoran is a key factor that determines whether Gao Chongwu's side can achieve effective results! ”

Because the telephone line received from the Executive Yuan from the attendant's room was a confidential line, even the military commanders and the central commanders did not dare to plug in the line to listen, so Zhou Fohai did not take it into account when he spoke, and he urgently reminded Wang Zhaoming that Huang Haoran was not only a thorn in the side of the Japanese, but also a stumbling block to their small group!

Gao Chongwu, mentioned by Zhou Fohai, was an important member of the compromise and capitulation group centered on Wang Zhaoming.

At the beginning of 1938, Wang Zhaoming sent Dong Daoning, who was the head of the first section of the Asian Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, to establish relations with Xi Yixian, director of the Nanjing office of the "Manchurian Railway", to discuss the promotion of "peace" between China and Japan. Under the arrangement of Xi Yixian, Dong Daoning met with Matsuoka Yoyou, president of the "Manchurian Railway". Subsequently, Dong Daoning, in his capacity as a representative of the third force of the Hankou government, held talks with Akira Kagesa Zhen, chief of the strategy section of the Japanese General Staff, Takeo Imai, the leader of the Chinese squad, and Jun Tada, deputy chief of staff. In March 1938, Wang Zhaoming asked Zhou Fohai to arrange for his right-hand man Gao Zongwu to send him to Hong Kong and Shanghai for activities. In Shanghai, Gao Zongwu met Dong Daoning, and then the two went south to Hong Kong together to hold talks with Yoshiken Nishi, Shigeharu Matsumoto, Yoshio Ito, and others. During the banquet, Gao Zongwu briefed the Japanese side on the activities of the "low-key phobic club" and said that the "peace faction" against Japan in the Wuhan government would "gradually occupy the dominant force" and that the Japanese side would be "appreciated." After that, Wang Zhaoming's small group never severed contact with the Japanese, and the core contact was Gao Zongwu.

After the reshuffle of the Japanese cabinet, the new foreign minister, Kazunari Ugaki, stepped up his diplomatic offensive against China. Gao Zongwu went to Hong Kong to tell the Japanese that the third force led by Wang Zhaoming was willing to act as an intermediary to facilitate Sino-Japanese "peace talks", which made Ugaki Kazunari overjoyed! On 5 July, Gao Zongwu secretly arrived in Japan, and under the arrangement of Kagesa Zhenaki, he met with the land minister Itagaki Seishiro and the deputy chief of staff Tada Jun, and reiterated Wang Zhaoming's hope that a "peace movement" could be launched.

Gao Zongwu's visit to Japan is the first step in the Wang Zhaoming group's plan to invest in Japan.

According to information sent back by Gao Zongwu from Tokyo, the Japanese cabinet's attitude toward Wang Zhaoming's small group is still wavering. Although Prime Minister Konoe and Foreign Minister Kazusei Ugaki hoped to "appoint China's first-rate figures, weaken the current central government and powerful factions in China, and establish an anti-war government among the enemy," they would implement "partition and cooperation" in the occupied areas. But the rest of the cabinet did not show their support!

For Wang Zhaoming, of course, he hopes that Ugaki Kazunari can successfully convince the rest of the Japanese cabinet members. In this way, Wang Zhaoming can become the main target of the Japanese to lure him down, have more right to speak, and realize the idea of "saving the country by curve"!

You can't just wait for the Japanese to make a decision! We have to show more "sincerity"! This is Wang Zhaoming's judgment after a comprehensive analysis of the current situation!

"Director Zhou, is there any possibility that the plan you said last time will be realized now?"

Wang Zhaoming decided to take a gamble! He urgently needs to do something now to make the Japanese recognize his worth!

Hearing Wang Zhaoming's murderous words, Zhou Fohai on the other end of the phone was obviously in spirit! He replied excitedly:

"Ready to do it! I said earlier, it's better to engage in politics than to use a knife! Huang Haoran is really in Wuhan now, and there is no ace army of him by his side! It's a good time for us to start! ”

Wang Zhaoming nodded with a gloomy face, and then instructed Zhou Fohai: "Be clean, Huang Haoran's reputation is very high now, and the impact at this time will definitely be great, and the military commander or the central commander must not be allowed to smell the fishy smell... Remember! Don't act without absolute certainty! I want a one-hit hit! ”

"Understood! I'll arrange it right away! ”

After Zhou Fohai hung up the phone, he rubbed his hands excitedly and circled in the office, he had been waiting for Wang Zhaoming to make this decision for a long time! The Japanese have hinted several times, hoping that Zhou Fohai can bypass Wang Zhaoming and make a move against Huang Haoran, but Zhou Fohai considered that he was still in Wuhan after all, not in the Japanese war zone, so he tried to prevaricate back. This upset the Japanese!

Of course, Zhou Fohai knew that by doing so, he would offend the new master before he had surrendered, and it would inevitably be difficult in the future! The Japanese need Wang Zhaoming to establish a puppet government, but there is no shortage of errands like Zhou Fohai! Whenever he thought that the Japanese were likely to hold a grudge against him because of this, Zhou Fohai was terrified!

It's good now! Finally got the hands-on order! Regardless of whether he succeeds in the end or not, at least the Japanese will not blame him Zhou Fohai!

That's right...! I have to find a way to press Jiang Baili's letter of appointment, and when the time comes, a large number of sycophant officials in the province will surround Huang Haoran, but it will be difficult to do it!
