Chapter 762: Surprised
Half an hour later, a small press conference was held at the Shaqiaodun barracks. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
After grooming and shaving off the stubble on his face, Xu Rui immediately recovered from a middle-aged uncle with a face full of vicissitudes to a handsome and upright young offspring, and with a straight new military uniform, he looked even more heroic.
In the face of questions from several Chinese and foreign reporters, Xu Rui spoke eloquently.
"Miss Julia just asked me why you can play Kenji Dohihara, the Lawrence of the East, in the palm of your hand? Why was it possible to deceive all the Japanese and transfer the complete equipment of a pharmaceutical factory and a coal chemical plant back to Dameishan through the Pukou wharf? To be honest, I can't answer either of these questions. β
"Because I don't know if this will happen until the mystery is finally revealed."
"But there is one thing I can tell you, that is, justice will eventually triumph over evil, and we, the Chinese, will eventually defeat the Japanese invaders and win national self-reliance and self-reliance!" Don't think that this is just empty words and clichΓ©s, because throughout the ages, countless historical facts have proved that this is an unbreakable truth! β
The reporters attending the meeting and many commanders and fighters attending the meeting applauded warmly.
Especially the students in the academy, the applause was even warmer, and many students were even a little infatuated with Xu Rui's always enthusiastic speech.
"Commander Xu, I'm TASS war correspondent Anna." Another female reporter stood up and asked, "I'm curious about what kind of conditions the Japanese have offered you in order to woo you?" β
Xu Rui said: "The conditions offered by the Japanese are very tempting, in addition to the Minister of Military Affairs of the puppet restoration government, and the so-called commander-in-chief of the Second War Zone, they also wrote me a huge check for five million yen or one million US dollars, but the Japanese will never understand that faith is priceless!" β
Anna asked, "Speaking of faith?" Commander Xu, what is your faith? Communism? β
"Communism is my ultimate faith." Xu Rui nodded and said, "But my realistic belief is socialism, or nationalism, so let's put it this way, for the prosperity and strength of the Chinese nation, I, Xu someone, am willing to give everything, including my life, if necessary, I can die for the nation without hesitation!" β
The press conference hall was once again filled with applause and cheers.
The Q&A session passed quickly, and the press conference entered the news release phase as usual.
Usually, the organizer of the press conference will always break some news at this time.
Xu Rui pressed his hands weakly, waited for the hall to be quiet, and continued: "Finally, I want to announce to you here that tomorrow morning, we will hold a public trial and public judgment at Shaqiaopier, and announce in public the punishment decision of Kenji Dohihara and Yoshiko Kawashima, two war criminals. β
"Public trial?"
"Trying war criminals?"
"Right here?"
"At this time?"
One stone stirs up a thousand waves.
At the end of the press conference, Wang Husheng followed Xu Rui into the lounge next door and asked: "Old Xu, although the public trial and public judgment of Kenji Dohihara and Yoshiko Kawashima may cause a war of words between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, the problem is controllable after all, but there is another matter, I'm afraid it is not so easy to settle, right?" β
Xu Ruichong pretended to be stupid and said: "Another thing, something." β
Wang Husheng said angrily: "You just pretend, pretend, pretend." β
Xu Rui sighed and said, "Lao Wang, you mean that batch of gold, right?" β
"It's no small feat." Wang Husheng frowned and said, "No matter what, this batch of gold was escorted out of the treasury of the Bank of Eight Nations by the Tax Police Corps at that time, and legally speaking, this batch of gold obviously belongs to the National Government, and the National Government will definitely come to recover it after knowing the news, what should I do then?" β
"What should I do?" Xu Rui said hesitantly, "What else can I do, pretend to be stupid." β
Hehe smiled, Xu Rui continued: "What gold?" We don't know. β
"That's it?" Wang Husheng said, "Lao Xu, you have to know that paper can't contain fire!" β
"I didn't say I wanted to wrap the fire in paper." Xu Rui spread his hands and said, "But we really don't have gold, and the national government can't force us to conjure up gold, right?" β
Wang Husheng was angry when he heard this.
(Dividing Line)
Chongqing, the official residence of Chairman Chiang.
Dai Li, director of the Special Service Department of the Fuxing Society, went to Chairman Chiang's residence overnight to meet him, but he couldn't do it in person, because it was about Wang Jingwei, the former premier of the National Government!
Chairman Chiang hid in a rocking chair and closed his eyes to recuperate.
Dai Li bowed slightly, and whispered: "After Mei Siping returned to Chongqing, he immediately went to Wang's Mansion, and in the next few days, Wang's Mansion held several small meetings in a row, and Zhou Fohai, Chen Gongbo, Gao Zongwu, Tao Xisheng and others all went there many times to persuade Wang to leave immediately and go to Nanjing to form another government. β
Chairman Jiang frowned slightly and said, "Is the news reliable?" β
"Absolutely reliable!" Dai Li nodded, and asked again, "Commission, do you want to arrest people?" β
"Arrest? In what name? Chairman Jiang glanced at Dai Li coldly and said, "It's going to rain, my mother is going to get married, and let him go." β
After finishing speaking, Chairman Jiang closed his eyes and stopped talking, but hung the confused Dai Li.
Although Dai Li is shrewd and capable, and he is also very good at figuring out his intentions, he still can't figure out Chairman Chiang's mind at this moment, and Chairman Chiang actually doesn't mind Wang Jingwei leaving.
Because of Wang Jingwei's departure, there are three major benefits for Chairman Chiang.
At the party level, Wang Jingwei's departure is equivalent to one less powerful opponent in the party, which is more conducive to him monopolizing the power in the party.
At the domestic level, the comparison of Wang Jingwei, a traitor, further highlights the commendability of Chairman Chiang's insistence on the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, which will help him strengthen his image and control the overall situation of the military and government.
At the international level, Wang Jingwei's departure to the Nanjing government was at risk of downgrading the Chongqing government to a local government, but it also helped to open a channel for negotiations with Japan, and with Wang's puppet government acting as a bridge in the middle, it would be easier for the Nationalist Government to communicate with the Japanese government.
Therefore, Chairman Chiang did not mind Wang Jingwei's departure at all, and was even happy to see it happen.
Dai Li thought about it for a long time and couldn't get the gist of it, so he had to leave Chairman Chiang's residence with his head bowed.
However, as soon as he walked to the gate of the official residence, a car came at a gallop, stopped under the porch, the door opened, and a slightly chubby man walked down, but it was Zheng Jiemin, the deputy director of the secret service, and he was also Dai Li's right-hand man.
"Jiemin?" Dai Li looked at Zheng Jiemin who came in a hurry with some surprise and asked, "Why are you here?" β
"Sit down, urgently, we have to meet the old man immediately!" Zheng Jiemin made a long story short, "Three things, the first thing, Dameishan Radio Station just sent a newsletter, saying that it is going to be a public trial tomorrow morning against the Japanese spies Kenji Dohihara and Yoshiko Kawashima, who committed a lot of brutal acts, but the second thing is about that batch of gold!" The third thing is the scariest thing! β
"What did you say?" Dai Li's face immediately changed when he heard this, and he immediately said, "Go, follow me to the commission!" β
At that moment, Dai Li hurriedly returned to Chairman Jiang's study with Zheng Jiemin, Chairman Jiang heard the footsteps, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that Dai Li was going and returning, so he frowned and said, "Yunong, why are you back again?" β
Dai Li bowed slightly and didn't speak, but Zheng Jiemin, who was behind him, stepped forward and said: "Commission, the Shanghai Station and Nanjing Station of the Fuxing Society have just received a report from the line, saying that Xu Rui took advantage of the Japanese government's intention to recruit him and did a great thing, he actually transported a full set of equipment from a pharmaceutical factory and a coal chemical plant back to Dameishan!" β
"What did you say?!" Chairman Chiang was startled when he heard this, and sat up from his rocking chair.
Dai Li, who was standing next to him, was also secretly shocked when he heard this, there was still such a thing?
"A pharmaceutical plant plus a full set of equipment for a coal chemical plant?" Chairman Jiang said, "You mean a full set of equipment, not what, how many pieces of equipment?" β
"Yes, full equipment." Zheng Jiemin replied in the affirmative.
Dai Lian said in a deep voice: "Didn't you say that it was just cotton, cotton yarn and gauze? How did it become a device again? β
"This is Xu Rui's eye-showing!" Zheng Jiemin said in a deep voice, "Xu Rui, this kid, has almost deceived the whole world, he has already secretly reached a secret deal with Sir Edwards of the United Kingdom, and dismantled the full set of equipment of the pharmaceutical factory and coal chemical plant in advance, wrapped it in cotton yarn, disguised it as a bundle of cotton yarn, and hoarded it in the warehouse of the sixteenth shop wharf!" β
Taking a breath, Zheng Jiemin continued: "Then, through the large-scale assassination of the wolf's teeth and the military operation of the Dameishan Independent Regiment, the Japanese army was forced to make concessions and release the cotton yarn and cotton cloth purchased by the CCP from Shanghai before, but before this batch of cotton yarn and cotton cloth was put on the ship, it was transferred by Xu Rui!" β
"OMG!" Dai Li exclaimed, "What a package adjustment plan, it's seamless!" β
Chairman Chiang, however, was more concerned about another question and asked, "Edwards?" Why does it sound familiar? β
Dai Li immediately replied: "Edwards is a baron in England, before the Battle of Songhu, he once went to Nanjing to peddle a full set of equipment for a pharmaceutical factory and a coal chemical plant, but after the investigation of Minister Kong of the Ministry of Finance, he found that these equipment belonged to the old equipment that was about to be eliminated, so he politely refused, and wanted to come to Xu Rui to buy this batch of equipment!" β
"I remember, there is such a thing." Chairman Chiang said in annoyance, "Even if these equipment are old, they can eventually be turned into an industry, so how can they be turned away?" Now it's good, these equipment are actually cheaper than the Communist Party, this is a full set of equipment for a pharmaceutical factory and a coal chemical plant! (To be continued.) )
