In mid-May 1940, according to Zhou Min, he left Shanghai for a few months.

Compared with the royal incident, the Japanese people's hatred and attention to Zhou Min have risen to the SSS level. The base camp gave a death order, a death order, Zhou Min must get rid of it, at all costs.

Zhou Min really can't go back when she leaves Shanghai this time, and she can't disguise herself, everything related to her in Shanghai is monitored. Ah Da Zhou Min also asked him to leave Shanghai and continue to take care of the dark lines left by Zhou Min in the area of Suzhou and Hangzhou.

After leaving Shanghai, Zhou Min and Chen Yunzhang went all the way south to look for Zhou Tao, but after arriving in Hunan, they found that Zhou Tao's team had been pulled out and left Hunan.

In desperation, the two traveled for many days and returned to Chongqing. Soon after returning to Chongqing, someone came to the door, and the pomp was not small.

The person who came was Wang Shihe.

After listening to his self-introduction, some of his information flashed through Zhou Min's mind.

Wang Shihe, a native of Fenghua, Zhejiang, is the cousin of Chairman Jiang and a student of the first phase of the Whampoa Military Academy. After the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he served as military attache at the Soviet Embassy, head of the third group of Chairman Chiang's chamber of attendants and chief of Chiang Kai-shek's bodyguard, deputy commander-in-chief of the Third Army, and deputy commander of the 76th Army. Later, he followed Chiang Kai-shek to Taiwan.

Generally speaking, it is the descendant of the lineage, the person around the chairman.

"Hehe, Miss Zhou, I have admired the name for a long time, I took the liberty to come here today, it is a great joy. "Wang Shihe is very enthusiastic and affinity, and he does not have the sense of oppression in a high position. But his smile did not make Zhou Min feel that there was a happy event coming.

"General Wang, your arrival is really brilliant, I don't know what kind of happy event it is?" Zhou Min and Wang Shihe greeted each other, and Chen Yunzhang brought a few cups of coffee for everyone to quote.

"Miss Zhou, what you have done during this period of time has dealt a severe blow to the arrogance of the Japanese and has also had a positive impact on the military and civilians in China, so the chairman of the committee has decided to award you a medal in person!"

"Personally awarded?!" Zhou Min was a little surprised when he heard these words. Some time ago, he had already received a medal, and this time the chairman of the committee actually wanted to award it in person.

"That's right, the chairman of the committee personally awarded the medal, you have made such a great contribution, this time you will get a blue sky and white sun medal is certain, and then all major newspapers will attend the award ceremony. ”

When Zhou Min heard this, he understood that the chairman of the committee personally awarded the medal, and reporters attended the meeting, to put it bluntly, it was a show, and it was done for the whole country and even the world to see.

For this award, Zhou Min felt the pressure and a trace of persecution.

Knowing that the Japanese are now hunting her down all over the world, they still give such a high-profile award, although this large-scale award has great political significance, and can even inspire front-line soldiers.

The action is to cooperate with the Communist Party, but now she has awarded herself a medal, isn't this a roast on the fire, or is it that this side is not satisfied with her frequent cooperation with the Communist Party?

Zhou Min was very unhappy with the government's style. As soon as reporters from all over the world took pictures, how she would act in the future, and what Japanese people she killed, she was recognized as soon as she went out. The most important thing is that the danger index of going out in the future will soar, and assassins and killers will continue to emerge.

It is really annoying to sacrifice others for the sake of one's own interests and whitewash it with national righteousness.

No matter what Zhou Min thinks now, she must participate in this award, and she must be very excited and happy to participate on the surface. Zhou Min stiffly greeted Wang Shihe until he left.

Chongqing, May 23, 1940.

A grand investiture ceremony began.

The male No. 1 is Chairman Jiang, the female No. 1 is Zhou Min, and the group performers are reporters from various countries and military and political personnel in Chongqing. Perhaps in order to demonstrate the friendly relationship between the Zhou family and the government, Zhou Tao also returned to Chongqing to participate in the award ceremony, which seemed to be the benevolence of those in power, so that Zhou Min's family could also enjoy the glory of this moment.

At 9:30 a.m., the auditorium was already full, and reporters from various countries, important military personnel, and celebrities were all waiting for the chairman.

After singing the harmony of "Chairman Arrive", Chairman Jiang waved his hand and walked into the auditorium, his personal attendant checked the microphone, and He Yingqin began to preside.

After He briefly said a few words, he invited Chairman Jiang to speak on the stage, and the auditorium resounded with thunderous applause for a long time. Until the chairman smiled and signaled to everyone, the applause disappeared.

"Compatriots, journalists, and friends, on behalf of the Nationalist Government, I welcome you all to come, what happened in Shanghai must be clear to everyone, the Japanese themselves caused a scandal, and also sent people to assassinate the national hero Zhou Min, wantonly smeared our heroes, claiming that the imperial incident was concocted by our side, and used murder to extinguish the mouth as a demonstration, now the truth is revealed, Guam's apology is true, his secret identity is also true, I want to tell the aggressor today that victory must be ours, what Guam has said, you must officially say it again to the whole world, to the 40,000,000 Chinese compatriots！”

Warm applause rang out in the auditorium, and the reporters quickly pressed the shutter to freeze Chairman Chiang's sonorous movements and applications.

"Next, I will personally award the honor to our hero, Zhou Min. Hearing his name called, Zhou Min took a deep breath, warned himself not to be nervous, and stepped forward. Salute the Chairman and all those present.

Military music sounded, and the attendants presented a delicate box with a medal representing the highest honor of the national government. Chairman Jiang brought it to Zhou Min and looked at Zhou Min kindly, and the reporters pressed the shutter again, and now every photo is news and a selling point.

"Ladies and gentlemen, here, in addition to awarding Zhou Min the Order of the Blue Sky and the White Sun, the Military Commission of the Nationalist Government has also decided to confer the rank of Major Zhou Min!" As soon as these words were finished, warm applause rang out. Zhou Min tugged at the corners of his stiff mouth and glanced at Zhou Tao.

Zhou Min has always planned not to get too close to the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and even if he wants to rely on it, he will rely on the direction of the Communist Party, and he doesn't know who the world will be in the future. This time it was good, and it was deeply branded by the Kuomintang.

As soon as the awarding ceremony ended, the reporters' frantic questions were resolved one by one by Chairman Chiang. At this time, a reporter suddenly asked, it turned out to be a Japanese. As soon as he opened his mouth, it was a lore,

"Major Zhou, I'm Shunichi Shimada, a reporter for the Beijing News of the Imperial Japanese Empire, given that you have cooperated with the Communist Party in many of your actions, do you have a close connection, and is this related to your experience in the Eighth Route Army?"

This question made He Yingqin a little unhappy, and his face darkened all of a sudden, obviously sowing discord. I'm afraid that Zhou Min is too tender to answer well.

"Reporter Shimada, what you said is right, I have a very close relationship with the Communist Party. Speaking of this, Zhou Min paused deliberately, and as soon as these words came out, even Chairman Jiang frowned. The military and political officials present even talked in a low voice. Zhou Min continued: "Actually, it's not just me, the entire Kuomintang has reconciled with the Communist Party, and now is the honeymoon period for the second cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and the two sides will cooperate sincerely to fight the Japanese invaders and defend their homeland." Under the command of Chairman Chiang, he led the people of all nationalities throughout the country to win a series of victories, and also let the aggressors know that China is not something that a small country can vainly want to annex! China is invincible!"

As soon as Zhou Min's voice fell, warm applause rang out, everyone didn't expect Zhou Min to answer so wonderfully, not only did he not have the trap of Chinese and Japanese reporters, but also put him together, and praised Chairman Jiang.

This answer can only be described as wonderful. A lot of bigwigs cast approving glances. Chairman Jiang even gave you a very nice look.
