The next morning, Wang Jingwei and Wang Kemin continued their second meeting. Vertex X23US

The talks remained inconclusive.

On the third day, a third meeting was held, and this time Wang and Wang finally talked about some substantive issues, and the talks made some progress.

During this meeting, Wang Kemin took the lead in changing his strategy, no longer insisting on the idea of North China's independence and self-reliance, but repeatedly emphasizing North China's "independent" nature and "autonomous" status.

Wang Jingwei once again stressed the importance of organizing a unified government, and hoped that Wang Kemin would show a sincere attitude and work together to "build the country peacefully" and better cooperate with the Japanese government.

Wang Jingwei proposed to abolish the North China Provisional Government and the Nanjing Restoration Government, set up a "unified" "central government" in Nanjing, and invite the two governments of the North and South to participate in the political conference.

Wang Kemin was naturally unmoved, and in response to Wang Jingwei's suggestion, he said that he needed to consult with his colleagues in the Beiping government and report to the North China Liaison Department, so the talks were terminated again.

The next day, according to the discussion between the two men, the talks rested for a day, and both sides felt that such talks would be fruitless, and they were ready to seek the help of their respective Japanese masters.

Especially unexpectedly, Wang Jingwei went wrong again. It turned out that the senior officials of the Nanjing Restoration Government saw Wang Kemin and Wang Jingwei fighting for power, and felt that the agreement they reached with Wang Jingwei had suffered a big loss, and they had a sense of repentance.

However, the senior officials of the Nanjing Restoration Government thought to the left, and neither Wang Jingwei nor the Japanese masters took the demands of the Nanjing Restoration Government into account.

During this day, both sides were actively looking for the support of the Japanese behind them.

It's time, it's time for the North China Liaison Department to contribute, Wang Jingwei and Wang Kemin are already deadlocked there, and if they can't coordinate as soon as possible, it will definitely affect the formation of the new government.

The Japanese have done their part, they have made their attitude clear, and it is not that we have to interfere with your government, but that you yourself cannot reach a consensus, so we must come forward to coordinate in order to achieve stable development.

After consulting with Wang Kemin, Feng Tiandong sent a long telegram to Ishikawa Ichiro, reporting in detail Wang Kemin's final thoughts, and indicating that Wang and Wang had great differences, and it was difficult to reach a consensus on the outcome of the talks. Feng Tiandong said that Wang Kemin's opinion was more in line with the interests of the empire in North China, and hoped that the North China Liaison Department would properly do Wang Jingwei's work through the relationship with the Japanese base camp.

After Ishikawa Ichiro received the telegram, he once again secretly felt Feng Tiandong's huge role.

At the same time, Wang Jingwei was also actively seeking help from the Japanese, hoping that the Japanese base camp would do Wang Kemin's work, so that he would put the overall situation first and bring the North China Provisional Government into the orbit of the new government.

For a time, telegrams and telephone calls from all sides continued.

After Feng Tiandong sent a telegram to Ishikawa Ichiro, he felt that what he should have done had been done, and began to be the shopkeeper, continuing his eating, drinking and merrymaking in Nanjing, and letting the devils and traitors bargain for the rest.

……

In the past few days of the talks between Wang and Wang, in addition to paying attention to the news of the talks between Wang and Wang, Feng Tiandong used his identity to maneuver among some middle- and upper-class people in Nanjing, build relations, make friends, and become familiar with many people.

In particular, he established a relatively good relationship with Ye Zhao, deputy director of the Nanjing Police Department, and became good friends with Kang Yingfu, director of the security department of the police station.

Ye Zhao was the commander-in-chief who was fully responsible for the security work of the Wang and Wang talks, while Kang Yingfu led people to carry out the security arrangements of Director Ye Zhao.

During the talks, Deputy Director Ye Zhao would come to the Central Hotel early every day to arrange the security work for the day before the talks began.

Speaking of Feng Tiandong's acquaintance with Deputy Director Ye Zhao, it is really a coincidence.

It was the second day of the talks between Wang and Wang, and in the morning, shortly after the talks began, plainclothes guards arranged by the police station outside the Central Hotel clashed with two of Wang's bodyguards, and the two sides broke out.

Even the gun was pulled out.

The cause of the incident was very simple, after the start of the talks that day, Wang Kemin's two personal bodyguards saw that the hotel was very safe and there was nothing wrong, so they walked out of the hotel to breathe outside.

You think, plainclothes policemen are just ordinary people, those two bodyguards are elites with kung fu, and it is not clear who loses and who wins, and after a while, the two plainclothes policemen were beaten with blood on their faces.

At this time, the policemen patrolling nearby did not agree, and rushed over, and the bodyguards saw that there were many people on the other side, and took out their guns first, and the policemen were not to be outdone, so they took out their guns.

In this way, the two sides confronted each other at gunpoint not far from the Central Hotel.

Soon, more and more police officers rushed to the scene, and Wang Kemin's other bodyguards also began to rush over, and the security environment of the entire Central Hotel was instantly destroyed.

When Ye Zhao heard the news, he was suddenly shocked, at this time, if there were anti-Japanese elements who came to make trouble and sabotage, the consequences would be unimaginable, and he immediately rushed over to mediate, wanting to restore security order as soon as possible, but Wang Kemin's bodyguards did not buy his account, and continued to confront the police unrelentingly, and the police refused to give in despite the strength of the crowd.

Just when Ye Zhao was sweating profusely and at a loss, it happened that Feng Tiandong came to the Central Hotel, listened to the briefing, and relied on his relationship with Wang Kemin, and yelled at the bodyguards: "What do you two mean, what are you going to do, do you want to wantonly destroy security like this, and want to give the anti-Japanese elements a chance." ”

When the bodyguards heard this, they seemed to realize the seriousness of the problem and took the lead in retreating to the hotel.

Then, Feng Tiandong took out a stack of money from his body to comfort the injured policeman, saying that he would definitely inform Chairman Wang Kemin and punish the two bodyguards.

A storm dissipates invisibly.

Not only that, Feng Tiandong also apologized to Deputy Director Ye Zhao on behalf of the bodyguards, and invited him to find a place to have a drink at night, and Ye Zhao readily agreed.

That night, Deputy Director Ye Zhao took Director Kang Yingfu and Feng Tiandong to sit in the private room of Jinlingchun Restaurant.

Or the old means, gifts open the way. As soon as he sat down in the private room, Feng Tiandong took out a heavy gift for Ye Zhao and Kang Yingfu, and immediately, Ye Zhao and the others became smiling.

After a few drinks, the three of them became like old friends for many years, and began to call each other brothers.

Later, during the interval of the talks, Feng Tiandong once again hosted a banquet for Ye Zhao and Kang Yingfu, which further deepened the friendship between the three of them and moved towards becoming close friends.
