Section 405 Sino-Japanese Bangkok Peace Talks

"Chen Jialiang, born in the 15th year of Guangxu (1889), is ugly, belongs to the ox, and his birthday is September 13 of the lunar calendar. According to the folk customs of Fuzhou, the age is often "imaginary year", so there is a mistake in 1888. Ka Leung's father, Chan Siu Hung (also known as Yi Li), ran a grocery store in his hometown and later joined the navy with his younger brother Chan Ka Han. The general's family was poor when he was young, so he started to study from Mr. Chen Yixiang in the private school, and in the morning he went to a nearby family to pick up swill (rice water) as pig feed, and grew vegetables by himself, making a difficult living. In the first year of the Republic, after graduating from the Jiangnan Naval Academy, Chen Jialiang was sent to the "Tongji" training ship, and was awarded the rank of second lieutenant at the end of the internship the following year. Later, he successively served as the second deputy and instructor, chief officer, and deputy director. In the sixth year of the Republic, he was transferred to the rank of lieutenant adjutant of the General Headquarters of the Navy.

On December 5 of the 7th year, Chen Qimei and other revolutionaries attempted to seize the "Zhaohe" warship, and Chen Jialiang, who was then a major adjutant, commanded the "Haichen" and "Yingrui" warships to intercept them. The current captain of the cruiser "Haichou" secretly contacted our Fujian garrison and led the fleet to surrender to our army two months ago. After meeting Chen Jialiang, Chu Zhaodong looked at his resume again, and Wu Chenxuan, the idle head seat, was already in his office.

"Commander Chu, what do you think of this Captain Chen? Is it a usable talent? Wu Chenxuan looked through a report with a smile and said indifferently.

"What do you mean?" Chu Zhaodong did not express his opinion, and he also knew in his heart that his status was not like those veterans of the National Defense Army, who were all old men who had followed the general seat to fight the world since the era of the Wuyi New Army. That is, he is an unpopular learner, so Chu Zhaodong is strict in governing the army in peacetime, but he is also very measured in getting along with his superiors and equals.

"Jingxiong is playing sloppy again, you can't say anything about this naval talent, since I use you as the commander, you can rest assured that you can boldly pick people to form a cabinet."

"Yes, Chief, Yasuo is taught." Chu Zhaodong replied solemnly: "Since the general seat inquired, the last general will be blunt." In fact, Chen Jialiang and Yi Gan Min were already deeply influenced by the British Navy's artillery giants, and their understanding and acceptance of new tactics were far inferior to those of the recruits we had newly trained. However, these people still have a certain foundation in navigation, and I think that if they study at the naval academy for two or three months, after they have been exposed to new tactical command knowledge, they will have a contest with the officers of the academy of various fleets on the map. Jingxiong felt that since they had come to vote sincerely, as long as they could integrate into our new tactical system, we should apply only what we wanted. ”

"Jingxiong's words are very true, it is necessary to apply only to the quantity, and only to act." Wu Chenxuan is also very disgusted with the standards of both ability and political integrity in later generations, saying a set of sets, you have the ability to predict the moral development of the object of inspection, not to mention that this German word is completely a subjective indicator of rumors, just look at the heroes from the government to the central enterprises, the heroes who are not the first level to use both ability and political integrity, and even the five good cadres who stand out in the all-round inspection of morality, diligence and honesty? As a result, litters of corruption and degeneration, regardless of ability, really don't know where to embody the noble virtues of these leading cadres. Wu Chenxuan also thought about it, since he couldn't investigate the development trend of virtue, he simply planned to put people in bad shape, which was nothing more than strengthening supervision and anti-corruption. There is also the possibility of becoming corrupt, it is better to use a more capable one, at least before the deterioration can make more contributions. "The Navy doesn't ask about seniority, just give me the amount to apply within the framework of the new tactics, and the Ministry of Defense will give you the green light. Commander Chu, if you want someone to ask for money or a warship, I can provide it, just give me back a piece of paper? ”

"Oh, then Jingxiong can make a lot of money. People say that Xiucai is a piece of paper, but I don't know what the paper that the general seat wants is? Chu Zhaodong replied.

"It's a good news of the Navy's victory over the Combined Fleet, and I think those heroic spirits who have been sleeping in Dadonggou for twenty-five years have been waiting for this sacrifice for a long time." Wu Chenxuan's face was extremely solemn, Chu Zhaodong also felt heavy in his heart, he secretly vowed that if he couldn't defeat the United Fleet in the upcoming war, he would commit suicide by jumping into the sea to atone for his sins.

"By the way, I remember that Chen Jialiang also proposed to hope that the government can release Zhou Liyan, the Unified Investigation Bureau has already investigated, this Zhou Liyan and Zhang Madman They are the same mouth, but they are just outspoken and fast-talking, and they have nothing to do with the rebellion. You tell Chen Jialiang that his classmates will be released in a few days, and there is no need to ask someone to find a way. Wu Chenxuan remembered that it seemed that this Chen Jialiang and the famous dagger throwing gun in the literary world in later generations were classmates.

Many years later, in a casual conversation in his later years, Chen talked about an interesting story among his classmates that someone put Zhou Liyan down and beat him on the buttocks. Chan and Zhou Liyan are alumni. General Chen entered the Gezhi Academy in the 29th year of Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty (1903), and in 1905 he went to Nanjing with his clansman Chen * Yuanhai (mathematician Chen Jingrun's brother, and later served as the postmaster of the postal districts of Jiangsu and Fujian). According to his grandfather's recollections, the general talked to him many times before his death about Zhou Liyan among his classmates during his study in the Sailor Academy. When Zhou Liyan entered the school, the opening ceremony was presided over by the principal Jiang Chao, and there was a Confucius tablet in the center of the auditorium, and all teachers and students had to kneel three times and bow nine times, but Zhou Liyan insisted on not kneeling or bowing, and after the ceremony, the principal talked to Zhou Liyan alone, but failed to convince him. Soon, Zhou Liyan dropped out of school. Chen also talked about an interesting story among his classmates, Zhou Liyan was able to speak well and speak sharply during his studies, and it was difficult for his classmates to have opponents. Once, several classmates debated and did not win, and in a fit of anger, they declared that "a gentleman must do something when he moves", and several people pressed Zhou Liyan to the ground and beat him on the buttocks. Zhou Liyan couldn't stop laughing on the ground, Zhou Liyan didn't get angry afterwards, but invited these classmates to a good meal, and it was his open-minded personality that made Chen Jialiang remember this old friend and classmate many years later.

"The report is urgent, please sign it." Zhou Zhongfu knocked on the door and entered, he had been promoted to the first secretary, and was transferred from the National Economic Section to the general secretary group, although it was only one of the six secretaries on duty, but it was enough to give him access to the core secrets of the entire Chinese political and military. Zhou Zhongfu had realized that he and his girlfriend Meng Zhaoying had been monitored by internal security agents of the Intelligence Bureau, but he was still comfortable with this kind of protective surveillance. Other personnel involved in core secrets are also monitored and protected by their entire families, and in the past few years, there have been dozens of various spy infiltration incidents encountered by them and their families, and there have been seven or eight vicious kidnapping incidents, but most of them were directly arrested or killed after being investigated and learned in advance by the internal security agents of the Intelligence Bureau. These spies include members of the European and American powers, as well as members of the Chinese Peasants' and Workers' Party developed by Red Russia, but most of them were instructed by those little spurs, but they are very sad that whether it is the Black Dragon Society system or the operations planned by the General Intelligence Bureau of the General Staff Headquarters, they will eventually be sabotaged by the other side. The Japanese intelligence community has nicknamed these organs in Jinan Prefecture "black holes," and every year they devour the lives of a large number of Japanese intelligence personnel, and of course, in exchange for the fact that Kawashima Naniwa, director of the General Intelligence Bureau of China, and Hashimoto, the chief general of the Black Dragon Society in North China, both have huge fortunes worth tens of millions of yen in their accounts at the Swiss Bank of Les.

"The Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs has put forward an invitation for the fourth round of Sino-Japanese talks, which will take place in Bangkok." Zhou Zhongfu handed the briefing to the main seat.

"Xiao Zhou, what do you think is the purpose of the Japanese this time? How do we respond? "This young man will be the greatest diplomat of the century, and perhaps he will be given a proper exposure to foreign affairs now. Wu Chenxuan is actually not satisfied with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs led by Lu Zhengxiang and Gu Weijun, although their too gentlemanly diplomatic style has brought China a good reputation in the international diplomatic community, but it has not done enough in terms of maximizing interests, maybe letting Xiao Zhou be a catfish will have some effect.

"Chief, I think that the Japanese side must be aware of our substantial arms build-up, and the Hara Kei Cabinet has always made it its duty to suppress the forces of the feudal lords, and it is estimated that it hopes to remove our external threat through negotiations, thereby further reducing the importance of the military forces. However, it is very unlikely that Japan will make concessions on the Taiwan issue, and if Hara dares to make big concessions on the Taiwan issue, he will certainly be labeled a traitor by the military forces, so I think the Japanese Government is just trying to create a relaxed external environment through negotiations and create conditions for the next step of disarmament. I suggest that in order to promote the process of democratization in Japan, we can adopt an ambiguous attitude and let Hara Kei be free to weaken the military department, which will be of great benefit to our recovery of Taiwan and even direct military confrontation with Japan. ”

"Well, if you want to take it, you must give it first. Secretary Zhou's words are very reasonable," Chu Zhaodong also admired, he was very optimistic about this young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, but unfortunately the famous grass has a master, and Meng Zhaoying, who was engaged in the drafting of the Law on the Protection of Women's Rights and Interests, is also a heroine among women, although her own daughter is also very good, but she is slightly immature compared to Meng Zhaoying, hey, forget it, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren.

"Yes, the general context of Xiao Zhou's proposal is desirable, but it is also necessary to be domineering, and we must affirm that Taiwan is an inalienable territory of our country, and we must not allow the Japanese to take the opportunity to establish among the Taiwan people the impression that the motherland has tacitly accepted Taiwan's belonging to Japan. In this way, Xiao Zhou, you participate in this peace talks as the foreign affairs representative of the Secretariat, let Gu Weijun preside over the peace talks, and you participate in the peace talks group as a full member of the group, so you should not hold a position. ”

"Okay, Skuza. I will stick to my principles, be moderately flexible, and have an attitude of learning and observing, and see more and talk less. Zhou Zhongfu's heart was excited, his own Huairou was good at arrogance with the enemy's strategy just now, but if the Japanese spread the remarks that China would abandon Taiwan among the Taiwanese people, then he would be unforgivable. Thanks to the general secretary's foresight, so that he did not make a big mistake, not to hold a position is to protect himself, after all, the status of the foreign affairs representative of the secretariat itself is a bad brand, if there is another deputy head of the position, it will not only be hated by the people of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but also easy to tie their fate to this negotiation, the success of the negotiation is just that, if there is a mistake, he will be put in.
