While chatting, the food quickly came up, and Masao Ishikawa opened a bottle of sake and poured a glass for everyone. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Feng Sang, this first glass of wine, we will all give you a pick-up." After pouring the wine, Masao Ishikawa took the lead in picking up the cup in front of him and shook it and said.
"Okay, thank you, Ishikawa-kun." Feng Chen stood up and touched the cup with Ishikawa Masao.
"Let's drink less, let's eat and talk." Keiko Hiraoka picked up her glass and said with a gentle sip of wine.
"Feng Sang, Mr. Wang Zhaoming, the Executive Premier of your National Government, was recently treated for a gunshot wound in a Tokyo hospital, why don't you take the time to visit him?" Takeo Imai finished the wine in the cup, put down the empty cup, turned his head and looked at Feng Chen and said.
"Oh, Mr. Wang Zhaoming is coming to Japan?" This news really aroused Feng Chen's interest.
"Yes, it's in the Tokyo Hospital, Feng Sang can take the time to visit." Takeo Imai suggested.
"Oh, Imai-kun, I am not familiar with Mr. Wang Zhaozhi, so I took the liberty of visiting, what is the matter?" Feng Chen shook his head and said.
"Hehe, what's the matter? After all, Wang Zhaoming is the premier of your national government. Takeo Imai pointed at Feng Chen with his right hand and said with a slight smile.
"I didn't have a relationship, why should I go and offer that courtesy." Feng Chen shook his head again noncommittally.
"Feng Sang, then Gao Zongwu, director of the Asian Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Nationalist Government, you should always know each other, right?" Takeo Imai asked.
"I've heard of this man." Feng Chen said.
"Mr. Wang came to Japan for treatment, and it was Mr. Gao Zongwu who contacted him personally, and I helped them find the hospital." Takeo Imai told how Wang Jingwei came to Japan.
"Oh? Imai-kun is familiar with Mr. Gao? Feng Chen looked at Takeo Imai and asked.
"Hehe, I can introduce you to each other." Takeo Imai smiled.
"Could it be that Mr. Gao is also in Japan?" Feng Chen asked.
"Yes, he personally sent Mr. Wang over, it is estimated that he will leave Japan next week, Feng Sang can take the time to meet Mr. Gao, this person is very good." Takeo Imai replied.
"That's annoying Imai-kun." Feng Chen politely agreed.
Gao Zongwu, although Feng Chen did not have much contact with him, Feng Chen still knew about his resume, and when Feng Chen was working in the Central Investigation Department of the Kuomintang Party, he had paid close attention to the pro-Japanese officials in the Nanjing government.
Gao Zongwu, a native of Yueqing, Zhejiang.
In November 1932, Chiang Kai-shek decided to set up a National Defense Design Committee and hired a well-known person from Sufu as a commissioner.
As an expert on Japan, Gao Zongwu was appointed as a commissioner of the National Defense Design Committee, and in one fell swoop he became one of the celebrities, which was a great boost to his self-confidence.
In May 1934, Gao Zongwu was transferred to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and served as the head of the Japanese Section of the Asian Division, in June, he was added to the rank of deputy director of the Asian Division, and in May 1935, he was promoted to the director of the Asian Department.
Feng Chen really wanted to get acquainted with this young magnate in his heart, but he couldn't be too eager in front of Takeo Imai, and he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry!
"Imai-kun, Mr. Hiraoka has gone to Shanghai, it just so happens that I have time in the last few days, if it is convenient, Imai-kun can ask Mr. Gao Zongwu to come out and sit down, and I invite you to drink." Feng Chen said lightly.
"Good! I'll tell you later. Takeo Imai readily agreed.
"Imai-kun, I don't know how long Mr. Wang Zhaoming will be hospitalized in Tokyo?" Seeing that Takeo Imai agreed, Feng Chen took the initiative to bring the topic to Wang Jingwei again.
"The bullet stuck in Mr. Wang's spinal cord, our surgeon in Japan is consulting, if the bullet can be removed, it will need to stay for a while, and if it is treated conservatively, he will be discharged from the hospital soon." Takeo Imai replied.
"Oh, that's right." Feng Chen picked up the cup and touched it with Takeo Imai.
"Feng Sang, when the time comes, I will ask Mr. Gao Zongwu to introduce you to Mr. Wang Zhaoming, and after getting to know him, it will be conducive to your development after returning to China." Takeo Imai drained the wine in the cup, put down the empty cup, looked at Feng Chen and said.
"Thank you, Imai-kun." Feng Chen did not refuse, nor did he readily agree.
……
After the banquet ended, Feng Chen, together with Ishikawa Masao, sent Keiko Hiraoka and Eiko Imai to the door of the school's girls' dormitory, and the two walked towards their dormitory.
"Ishikawa-kun, Imai Nakasa is really a China expert, and he can actually have a relationship with the Executive Yuan of the National Government." Feng Chen thought about it and wanted to get some secrets from Ishikawa Masao.
Although Masao Ishikawa doesn't have a tight mouth, this person has an advantage, that is, he is bold and generous, and he has many friends in the Japanese General Staff Headquarters and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
"Feng Sang, you still don't know, Imai Nakasa has been trying his best to promote peace talks between China and Japan recently, and Imai-kun is a peace-loving person." Masao Ishikawa really revealed a secret that Feng Chen didn't know.
"Oh? Sino-Japanese peace talks? I really haven't heard, who talks to whom? Mr. Imai and Mr. Wang Zhaoming? Feng Chen looked at Ishikawa Masao with a curious expression and asked.
Feng Chen knows this classmate of his very well, the more curious you are, the more eager he will be to continue talking, and the more secrets he will reveal to you.
"Feng Sang, it seems that you haven't known anything since you participated in the training for a month." Ishikawa Masao put his right hand on Feng Chen's shoulder and deliberately sold it.
"Ishikawa-kun, with you, an old classmate, wondering something, isn't it very easy?" Feng Chen affectionately stretched out his left hand and hugged Masao Ishikawa.
"Feng Sang, you should always know about the Dachuan Hotel incident in Chengdu, right?" Masao Ishikawa asked.
"You know, what's wrong? Does the peace talks have anything to do with this? Feng Chen asked rhetorically.
Masao Ishikawa nodded.
It seemed that things were a little complicated, Feng Chen pulled Ishikawa Masao and walked towards his dormitory.
Before participating in the secret training, Feng Chen really studied the "Chengdu Dachuan Hotel Incident" in detail, and he came to the conclusion that this was a diplomatic incident full of conspiracy.
The incident at the Dachuan Hotel in Chengdu in August was another act of aggression and provocation staged by Japan, but what was special about it was that it touched the sympathetic nerves of all strata of Chinese society, and all aspects jumped out from behind the scenes.
The Chengdu Dachuan Hotel Incident, also known as the "Rong Case", originated from a conspiracy of Japanese aggression, but Chiang Kai-shek took this opportunity to instigate control of Sichuan.
In China, it was Chiang Kai-shek's usual practice to stir up trouble everywhere, and it was Chiang Kai-shek's usual practice to transfer the contradictions from the outside to the inside, so as to annex the local warlords.
In 1933, Liu Xiang defeated other opponents, and his strength and defense area accounted for more than half of the whole Sichuan, and he basically controlled Sichuan.
However, in 1934, after Liu Xiang's troops were defeated by the Red Army at Wanyuan and Chengkou, their strength was greatly reduced, and he had no choice but to go to Nanjing to take refuge with Lao Chiang, who immediately appointed Liu Xiang as the head of the Sichuan Provincial Government, and at the same time began to control Liu Xiang and insert the power of the Nanjing government into Sichuan.
The main measures of the Nanjing government are:
1. Set up a camp in Chongqing to command the military and political affairs of Sichuan and Xikang.
2. Set up a training regiment in Emei Mountain, take turns to train officers and administrative personnel, and buy and install grassroots military and political cadres.
3. A branch of the Central Military Academy was set up in Chengdu, with nearly 10,000 officers and students, equipped with weapons.
4. Kang Ze, the spy leader of the Fuxing Society, was sent as the captain of the special forces and led the team to be stationed in Chengdu, Chongqing and other places; At the same time, Kang Ze was ordered to preside over military training in schools above the middle school level in Sichuan.
The Japanese side instigated the "Rong Case" in order to force Chiang Kai-shek to go to war against Japan.
Who knows, Chiang Kai-shek, on the other hand, pushed the boat down the river, wanting to take the opportunity to put the fault on Liu Xiang and deepen his control over Liu Xiang; Liu Xiang, on the other hand, went all out to counter control.
The three parties had their own purposes, while the patriotic fervor of the masses was exploited.
The incident set off a chain reaction, affecting all strata of workers, peasants, merchants, students, and soldiers.
Here's how it happened:
In June, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Nanjing sent a telegram to Liu Xiang saying that Japan wanted to set up a consulate in Chengdu, but Liu Fu's telegram sternly refused, saying that Chengdu was neither a commercial port nor any overseas Japanese, and that there was no treaty basis for setting up a consulate, and that after the fall of Northeast China, the Sichuan people were very hostile to Japan, and asked the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to consider it carefully.
Then, Liu Xiang called the Chongqing Municipal Government and told the Japanese consul that he hoped that the Japanese would postpone their visit to Chengdu on the grounds that the people of Chengdu were opposed and that they were afraid that the protection would not be adequate.
However, in flagrant disregard of Liu Xiang's refusal, the Japanese side sent four people, Keiji Shenzhen, Kuzaburo Watanabe, Takeo Tanaka, and Setogami from Chongqing to Chengdu, where they stayed at the Dachuan Hotel on Luomashi Street.
