After Chiang Kai-shek's death, the Taiwan authorities held a "state funeral" and forbade all entertainment and celebrations during the one-month period of the "state funeral." For a whole month, the bigwigs in the entertainment industry didn't say anything one by one, but they slandered in their hearts, so wouldn't they lose money.

Fortunately, a few days later, the upper authorities may also feel that there is something wrong with this, and the time of the "national funeral" has changed from one month to half a month, and from half a month to 12 days. This made the practitioners in the entertainment industry breathe a sigh of relief.

During the "national mourning," all the pages of Taiwan's newspapers turned black, and radio, television, newspapers, and magazines began a campaign to create gods, using all words to deify, sanctify, and perfect Chiang Kai-shek. Chiang Kai-shek's death was called "collapse" and his tomb was called "mausoleum".

The newspaper also declared that at the time of Chiang Kai-shek's death, "a huge golden-red ball suddenly appeared in the northeast corner of Tamsui overseas, surrounded by colorful auspicious clouds, and swept across the sky, flashing with lightning and lightning, and a huge thunder stinging, followed by heavy rain pouring down."

Wang Zijun looked at the newspaper and rolled his eyes, this Nima directly said that Feisheng was an immortal.

However, the United States, Chiang's most loyal ally in his life, was very indifferent to Chiang Kai-shek's death, and was originally only going to send a minister of agriculture to mourn. Later, the Taiwan authorities repeatedly asked for it to send Vice President Rockefeller over.

On the contrary, little Japan began to make a fuss, and there were many reports about Chiang's death in its country, and the right-wing forces even tried their best to boast about Chiang Lao Chiang as a hero of modern China in a vain attempt to win over Taiwan. The Japanese prime minister even personally sent a telegram of condolences to Chiang Ching-kuo, preparing to send the former prime minister to Taiwan in the name of the prime minister's representative to mourn him. The mainland side strongly objected, and in the end, the two former Japanese prime ministers were only allowed to go to Taiwan in their private capacities.

Corresponding to the frenzied deification of Chiang Kai-shek in Taiwan's press circles is a feeling of hesitation, disappointment, frustration, and even hysteria on the part of the entire Taiwanese ruling class. Especially for many veterans, they have always kept in their hearts the belief that Chiang Kai-shek will take them back to the mainland.

Although it has long been impossible to counterattack the mainland, whether it is self-deception or self-comfort, this belief has sustained them through the extremely difficult decades. Now Chiang Kai-shek's death is the last glimmer of hope for these veterans. The most tragic person is undoubtedly Yan Jiagan, who succeeded to the presidency a few hours after the death of Lao Chiang.

During Chiang Kai-shek's national funeral, it seemed that the whole country was grieving, and it was all around Chiang's funeral, but the private struggle for power was bloody. On both sides of the struggle, on the one hand, there is the old faction of the Kuomintang that is gradually growing bigger and has huge political resources; On the other hand, the Gannan faction headed by Chiang Ching-kuo and the Shaozhuang faction that have gained momentum in recent years due to the development of economic construction.

Yan Jiagan was an old minister of the Kuomintang and successfully ascended the throne through the "Constitution", but he only gained nominal power, and the Kuomintang ruled the country with the party, but the power of the party was in the hands of Chiang Ching-kuo.

Later, under the one-party dictatorship of the Kuomintang, Chiang Ching-kuo opened the ban on the party and the newspaper, which contributed to the democratization of Taiwan, and he has always shown himself as being close to the people and loving the people, but this time the power struggle was extremely strong.

Within one day of Yan Jiagan's succession as president, he took the initiative to resign from all his posts, taking retreat as the first general of Yan Jiagan's army and challenging the authority of the president. then used his father's funeral to suppress the old ministers, made a name for the world's most filial son, and activated the propaganda machine that had already been in hand, not only won the sympathy from the officials to the people, but also won the hearts of the people of the most reasonable heir.

At the same time, Chiang Kai-shek's intelligence agency handed over to Chiang Ching-kuo was fully operational, secretly monitoring the movements in various parts of the island, keeping all the situation in hand, and even using some dishonorable means in actual combat. Chiang Ching-kuo then instigated Chiang Kai-shek's henchmen in the army to pledge allegiance, and contacted his subordinates when he was Minister of Defense earlier, and the army he had mastered at once. …,

As a result, Yan Jiagan, who had just sat on the presidential throne, was directly emptied. Yan Jiagan, who was familiar with current affairs, quickly recommended Chiang Ching-kuo as a member of the Central Committee of the Kuomintang as chairman and chairman of the Standing Committee of the Central Committee, and almost put all the power in his hands into the hands of Chiang Ching-kuo, and he only became an empty shell president, officially opening the period of Taiwan's "Chiang Yan physique".

Then, in the name of the Taiwan authorities, Yan Jiagan and Chiang Ching-kuo issued a "Letter to the Mainland Compatriots," calling for the fulfillment of Chiang Kai-shek's last wish and the overthrow of the Chinese communist regime, while continuing to implement all Chiang Kai-shek's "guarantees" to the mainland compatriots.

Of course, it was impossible for Chiang Ching-kuo to return to the mainland, and the purpose of this was to appease the people and the military, and second, to show the integrity of the leadership class centered on Yan Jiagan and Chiang Ching-kuo.

As an artist, Wang Zijun naturally can't understand this, but dad Wang Xianzhi can guess the changes in the situation just through the news newspaper.

Wang Xianzhi didn't know what the considerations were, so he pointed to the TV and newspapers and analyzed them one by one, and Wang Zijun was dumbfounded. I didn't expect Chiang Ching-kuo, who has always been kind, thrifty, and democratic, to have such a hand.

But think about it, if Chiang Ching-kuo was really a pure upright gentleman, he would have been cleaned up as an anti-communist in the Soviet Union. You must know that when Chiang Ching-kuo, as the son of the supreme ruler of China, studied in the Soviet Union, which coincided with Stalin's bloody purge, Chiang Ching-kuo jumped out and publicly shouted "Down with Chiang Kai-shek". This move not only allowed Chiang Ching-kuo to escape Stalin's purge, but even became the director of a factory in the Soviet Union because of his righteous act of killing his relatives.

Wang Zijun suddenly understood a truth, that is, there are no saints in the world, and no matter how glamorous it looks on the outside, there are also unsightly places. Every successful politician is a complex and multifaceted aggregate.

While the old-fashioned Kuomintang officials were still stubbornly resisting and running around, Wang Xianzhi had already affirmed that Chiang Ching-kin had won. In fact, these old people of the Kuomintang also know to some extent in their hearts that the reason why they are still fighting is that in addition to having a fluke mentality, they just want to gain more political chips through this kind of struggle.

Wang Zijun wanted to stay out of the crowd and watch the excitement, he didn't want to participate in this kind of political struggle, and it was useless to participate.

Wang Xianzhi, who has never talked about business with his son, said another sentence at this time: "If your kid's company wants to continue to follow the smooth road, now is the best time to cling to it." Two days later, the big picture will be decided. ”

As soon as Wang Zijun heard that it made sense, he wrote an article overnight and sent it to the "Central Daily". The content of the article was extremely numb, but it did not directly pat himself on the back, so as not to be criticized by others in the future, saying that he was Chiang Ching-kuo's lackey. This article is a reminiscence-style essay, roughly written about his family of veterans since he was a child, and his father often talked about the glorious years when Chiang Gong led the anti-Japanese resistance, and bragged about Chiang Kai-shek's exploits intentionally or unintentionally. Then he talked about his several contacts with Chiang Ching-kuo, saying that Chiang Ching-kuo took him to step on muddy water and hike into the mountains to inspect the living conditions of the local people during the Spring Festival, saying that Chiang Ching-kuo was thrifty and filial, etc., anyway, he praised little Chiang from character to governance ability, but he did not say it explicitly, but only described what he saw and heard.

Although Wang Zijun has no influence in the political arena, he has countless fans among the people. After the article was published, it aroused some repercussions, especially the younger generation had a very good impression of Chiang Ching-kuo, and felt that it was indeed the best choice for such a person who was both filial piety, simple, and a person who served the people to take charge of Taiwan.

Wang Zijun did not express any personal views in the article, and wrote down his experience completely as it was, even if there were rebuttals, they couldn't find the words to fight back, not to mention, who dared to come out and say that Chiang Ching-kuo was not during Chiang Kai-shek's funeral. …,

Chiang Ching-kuo's official residence.

Chiang Ching-kuo, who had been guarding Chiang Kai-shek for a day and a night, dragged his tired body back, but he did not sleep, but asked his secretary to bring the newspapers from all over the country that had been sorted out. Although he can obtain detailed information through the intelligence agencies in his possession, the most intuitive thing is these newspapers, which county and city officials express their support for him, and they can directly read in these newspapers.

The most important contents of these newspapers have long been outlined by the secretary with a red pen, and Chiang Ching-kuo only needs to look at them briefly and know them by heart.

"Hey, this little guy is funny." Chiang Ching-kuo suddenly flipped to Wang Zijun's article in a local newspaper.

As a matter of fact, Wang Zijun's article was originally published only in the "Central Daily," but local newspapers in various localities continued to mythologize Chiang Kai-shek and praise Chiang Ching-kuo day after day, and repeatedly wrote everything they could.

In the entertainment industry, party-run institutions such as China Film and China Television naturally want to help with publicity, but as an artist, Wang Zijun is the first to take a stand in his private capacity.

Chiang Ching-kuo was lacking this at this time, and these days he was crying in front of everyone again and again, and every day he met and condoled with the citizens who came to mourn and mourn, and he also asked the newspaper to publish his old work "My Father", and also took out some words written by Chiang Kai-shek for him and handed it to the newspaper for publication, which was nothing more than a gesture to win the hearts and minds of the people. Wang Zijun's article is just like Chiang Ching-kuo dozing off and sending a pillow.

"This Wang Zijun seems to have just won a grand prize in the United States." Chiang Ching-kuo was a little uncertain, and for nearly a month his eyes had been focused on the dying Chiang Kai-shek and the political situation.

"It is the Golden Globe Award for Best Picture, the Golden Globe Award and the Oscar are the two most influential film awards in the United States, and Wang Zijun is also the only Chinese who has won this award." The work of the secretary is clearly done very carefully.

Chiang Ching-kuo said: "After the national funeral, let the Information Bureau and the Ministry of Education send him a few awards and commendations, we still have to support and help this kind of international talent." ”

"I'll let you know." The secretary said.

Chiang Ching-kuo suddenly said: "I remember that he has a song called "Loyal to the Country", which has high intentions and educational significance, can it be written into primary school textbooks? ”

The secretary said, "I think so." ”

"So be it, I'll sleep for a while, remember to wake me up at noon." Chiang Ching-kuo rubbed his temples.

………………………………………………

Not long after Wang Zijun's article was published, Chiang Ching-kuo had successfully grasped the power, and some other literati and artists who were somewhat sensitive to politics reacted at this time and wrote articles praising virtue. In fact, since the news of Chiang Kai-shek's death arrived, many clever literati sang the praises of the glorious life of the old Chiang, but they forgot to focus on the praise of the little Chiang, and only at this time did they come to remedy it.

All of a sudden, "Dean Jiang in My Eyes", "My Views on President Jiang's New Deal" and other messy articles were created all over the world, once again setting off an upsurge of singing praises of virtue. However, compared with Wang Zijun's inconspicuous sycophancy, these articles are much inferior, and the numbness of their words makes people get goosebumps.

The 12-day "national funeral" has finally passed, and Chiang Ching-kuo has completely controlled the situation, and all aspects have been co-opted or suppressed, and the training has been obedient.

Taiwan's military and political two terms also came to a major change, Chiang Ching-kuo's cronies and allies occupied various key positions, and although the old Kuomintang faction who made some kind of compromise deal lost their rights, their descendants and protégés were promoted, and as for those die-hard opposition, the fate can be imagined.

However, the Song family, who had a gap with Wang Zijun, pressed the wrong treasure this time, because they saw that Yan Jiagan took office as president within a few hours after Lao Jiang's death, and the situation was all controlled by the old faction of the Kuomintang, thinking that Xiao Jiang was finished. Even a few people from Xiao Jiang's faction threw themselves into the arms of the old school, and the backer of the Song family was one of them, and the result was .........,

The strangeness of the current struggle for rights in Taiwan has indeed made many people who know the inside story staggering, and it seems that Chiang Ching-kuo, who has been cornered and can only use a bitter trick to make trouble about his resignation, actually accomplished an earth-shattering reversal within a few days

Wang Zijun, who learned through some channel that the Song family's backer had lost power, would not let go of this opportunity, and with the help of administrative forces, he first tore off the Song family's sales and capital chain, and then forcibly acquired several large manufacturing factories of the Song family. When the people of the Song family saw that the general trend was gone, they simply sold their industries and went directly to the United States to start a business.

Of course, Wang Zijun couldn't eat alone, so he spent two or three million in benefits to help the relevant personnel, not to mention, and gave away a considerable part of the shares to Jiang Jingguo's third son, Jiang Xiaoyong.

And the Song family is even more miserable, the capital and sales chain are all broken, and the industry under his hand can only be sold to Wang Zijun, he wants to sell it to others, but who dares to buy it? Everyone knows that the Song family has lost power, and Wang Zijun's article has also confirmed his position as a supporter of Xiao Jiang.

Speaking of which, Jiang Xiaoyong is still Wang Zijun's senior at National Taiwan University, and he just graduated from National Taiwan University last year. Among Jiang Jingguo's several sons-in-law, Jiang Xiaoyong has the best reputation, at least much better than his eldest brother who was drunk and wanted to shoot and kill people if he disagreed.

However, this kind of politeness, modesty and prudence is only used for certain people, and his private behavior is not much better than his brother's, a typical smiling tiger and two-facedness. Because of this, some people call Jiang Xiaoyong the son with the most identical personality to Jiang Jingguo.

"Come, Jiang Gongzi, my little brother toasts you with a cup, thank you for your righteous action." In the private room of the nightclub, Wang Zijun raised a toast.

"It's a trivial matter," Jiang Xiaoyong patted his chest and said.

This person is in his twenties this year, and he is deeply loved by Chiang Ching-kuo and some Kuomintang predecessors, and he has excellent grades in both the military academy and National Taiwan University, and he is a good child in the eyes of everyone.

Regarding Wang Zijun, Jiang Xiaoyong does not despise him as a drama like other officials and eunuchs, but he also does not treat Wang Zijun as a character. If it weren't for the fact that he heard his father Jiang Jingguo mention Wang Zijun a few days ago, and his comments were quite good, he wouldn't have bothered to contact Wang Zijun.

Although Jiang Xiaoyong is smarter and more capable than his two elder brothers, he is also more arrogant.

Jiang Xiaoyong is a young man, and a young man who has just graduated from college for less than a year, and a young man who has just gotten married. Although his salary is not too low, although he has some allowances from above, he has to earn some gray income to support his family and ensure his quality of life.

However, because Jiang Jingguo managed too tightly, he never dared to overcharge this kind of money, and Wang Zijun gave him 30 shares of several factories, which was definitely his biggest income in the next few years. So even if it is only for the sake of money, he still has to make Wang Zijun's "friend".

Of course, in order to avoid (or fool) the attention of Chiang Ching-kuo and the media, the shares of these factories were not directly transferred to Jiang Xiaoyong, but placed in the name of a random person whom Jiang Xiaoyong found.

Under the service of the two beauties, Jiang Xiaoyong was already drunk, squinted his eyes and said mysteriously to Wang Zijun: "Brother Wang, my brother told you a piece of news, you listen carefully." ”

"Jiang Gongzi, please speak." Wang Zijun said.

Jiang Xiaoyong grinned: "The Ministry of National Defense and the Information Bureau have a joint plan, which is to make a large number of anti-Japanese war and anti-communist films. Let me tell you, this is a good opportunity, as long as you make a patriotic film, you will have the financial support of the Executive Yuan, priority will be given to theaters when it is released, and there will be tax exemptions."

"Thank you Jiang Gongzi for the reminder." Wang Zijun looked grateful, but said in his heart: I want you to say that Lao Tzu already knew. Whether it is the external or internal environment, Chiang Ching-kuo must now step up propaganda in this regard.

"Hey, there is a movie shooting plan that has come out, called "Eight Hundred Heroes", which was originally called China Film to shoot. As soon as I thought that your brother Wang also had a film company, I directly won this film for you. How about it, enough friends," Jiang Xiaoyong patted Wang Zijun on the shoulder and said.

"Enough friends, Jiang Gongzi is really righteous and thin" Wang Zijun hurriedly climbed along the pole, "I don't know much about military affairs, Jiang Gongzi is a top student in the military academy, why don't you be the producer and military consultant of this film." ”

"No problem," Mr. Jiang said.

No problem, your sister, it seems that Lao Tzu is going to pay a lot of unjust money again. Wang Zijun sneered.

"Jiang Gongzi, I see that you are almost drunk, why don't you let Xiaofang and Xiaomei send you back to your room to rest?" Wang Zijun asked.

"No, no need, I have to go to work tomorrow and play next time." Jiang Xiaoyong stumbled to his feet, and Wang Zijun hurriedly helped him up and sent him to the special car outside.

After the car walked away, Wang Zijun scolded in a low voice: "Pretend to be a fart, you get drunk after drinking so many glasses, I really think Lao Tzu is a fool." ”……，
