After lunch, Hua Yinghao and Feng Chen had just sent An Changhao and Shen Bailu away, and Daniel Zhang followed two people back. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Stepping into the living room, Daniel Zhang reported: "Captain Hua, that person's name is Li Asi, he is a subordinate of Wang Xinheng of the Fuxing Society, and he really has his eyes on that grocery store. ”

"Wang Xinheng's subordinates? Where is Ah Si Li now? Hua Yinghao asked.

"Yes, he said that Wang Xinheng sent him, and he is still in our warehouse, and I arranged for two brothers to watch there." Daniel Zhang replied.

"Didn't ask him why he was staring at that grocery store?" Hua Yinghao continued to ask.

"Li Asi said that someone told their chief Wang Xinheng on the phone that the grocery store was a secret traffic station of the Communist Party, and Wang Xinheng sent him to keep an eye on him." Daniel Zhang replied.

"Does Li Ah Si know your identity?" Hua Yinghao then asked.

"I don't know, he always thinks of us as members of the Communist Red Team." Daniel Zhang replied.

"Okay, you can release him after dark, you can go and get busy." Hua Yinghao commanded.

After Daniel Zhang left the living room, Hua Yinghao glanced at Feng Chen and said, "It seems that your grocery store is really exposed." ”

"Thank you Brother Hua for your help!" Feng Chen looked at Hua Yinghao gratefully and said.

"It's just a gesture, Brother Feng, don't be polite."

"Brother Hua, then I won't bother anymore, I'll go to the Japanese consulate." Feng Chen got up and said.

"Okay, then I won't keep you, if you have something to do in the silk village or come here directly to find me, knocking here three long and two short means that your own people are here." Hua Yinghao then stood up and said.

"Okay, I'll tell Brother Hua as soon as I have any news." As he spoke, Feng Chen took a step and walked out.

Feng Chen went directly to the Japanese consulate in Shanghai from Hua Yinghao, where a meeting was being held to discuss the negotiation of the Songhu armistice agreement, and the sound of controversy came from the conference room from time to time.

Matsuo Taro took Feng Chen to the reception room on the second floor, poured a cup of tea for Feng Chen, and said, "Feng San, Foreign Minister and Chief Hiraoka are in a meeting, you wait here for a while, I'll go over and get a few documents for you to take a look at first." ”

Feng Chen sat in the reception room, leisurely sipping tea, thinking about how to be the interpreter for Fang Ze Kenkichi, maybe Hiraoka Long and Fang Ze Kenkichi let him be the translator just for a reason, the real purpose was to let himself listen to the attitude of the Chinese negotiators.

After a while, Matsuo Taro came in with a stack of materials in his hand, handed it to Feng Chen, and said, "Feng Sang, Chief Hiraoka explained before the meeting, if you come over, let you familiarize yourself with these materials first." ”

Feng Chen took the materials, looked through them, and saw that the above materials were the resumes and personality analyses of several Chinese negotiators, and the back materials were the attitudes of Britain, the United States, France, Italy and other countries towards the negotiations.

Seeing that Feng Chen began to look at the materials, Matsuo Taro said: "Feng Sang, you take your time here and take a look first, I won't bother you, I'll call you after the meeting is over." ”

"Okay, Matsuo-kun, then you go and get busy." Feng Chen raised his head and looked at Songwei Dao.

After Matsuo left, Feng Chen carefully looked at the information in his hand, and first looked at the resumes of the Chinese negotiators Guo Taiqi, Dai Ji, and Huang Qiang.

Guo Taiqi, born in 1889 in Guangji, Hubei, served as vice minister of foreign affairs of the Wuhan Nationalist Government in 1923; In 1926, he participated in the Northern Expedition and contacted military work.

In 1927, after the Northern Expeditionary Army captured Beijing and Shanghai, Chen Youren, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Wuhan Nationalist Government, sent Guo to Shanghai to understand the situation and make diplomatic preparations.

The Central Executive Committee of the Wuhan Kuomintang made a decision to expel Guo Taiqi from the party forever, explicitly ordered him to be arrested, and sent a telegram to reprimand Chiang, and then Jiang and Wang cooperated, and the case was closed.

Dai Ji, born in 1895, a native of Jingde, Anhui Province, was a general of the 19th Route Army, a lieutenant general of the army, and the commander of the Beijing-Shanghai garrison.

When the Shanghai Incident occurred, Dai Ji convened an emergency military meeting, calling on "the rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband, what is the success or failure, what is the life and death, my generation can only fulfill the duty of the soldiers to defend the land and resist the humiliation, and fight to the death against the Japanese slaves." And wrote a suicide note, ready to live and die with Shanghai.

Huang Qiang, born in 1887, a native of Huizhou, Guangdong, chief of staff of the 19th Route Army, lieutenant general of the army, served as the commander of the Seventh Route Army of the Guangdong Army in 1921, stationed on the Leizhou Peninsula; In 1930, he served as the director of the 19th Route Army, trained more than 1,000 cadres of the 19th Route Army, and served as the chief of staff of the 19th Route Army when the Shanghai Incident occurred in 1932.

After reading the resumes of the three Chinese negotiators, Feng Chen couldn't help but be secretly surprised in his heart, the Japanese intelligence was really pervasive, and he knew the details of the three Chinese negotiators too clearly.

Looking at the following information, it is a letter of condemnation jointly issued by Britain, France, the United States, and Italy, condemning Japan for violating public international law such as the League of Nations Covenant and the Non-War Convention; Britain and the United States also protested against Japan's use of the Public Concession as a base of operations.

The other information is a report on the situation of Britain, France, and the United States increasing troops in Shanghai.

Britain has increased its troops to Shanghai, with 10 warships with more than 6,000 soldiers, and the French troops in Shanghai have reached more than 3,000, and the United States has concentrated all its warships in Asia in Shanghai, with a total of 17 warships, thus putting military pressure on the Japanese side.

Looking at these materials, Feng Chen knew very well in his heart that the reason why the Japanese army ceaseed fire was because the international situation was unfavorable to Japan.

Shanghai is the largest economic and financial center and trading port in the East, not only the ruling center of the Nationalist Government, but also the area where the interests of the Western powers in China are most concentrated.

The Japanese attack on Shanghai directly jeopardized the interests of the Western powers in China, so the great powers adopted a different attitude from the September 18 Incident and exerted pressure on Japan one after another.

In addition, the Japanese attack on Shanghai directly hit the ruling center of the four major families headed by Chiang Kai-shek, and seriously threatened the security of the capital of the Nationalist Government and the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, the main economic region......

Feng Chen had just finished reading the materials in his hand, Hiraoka Ryu and Fang Ze Kenji walked into the reception room with Fang Ze Kenji chatting in a low voice, Feng Chen hurriedly put away the materials in his hand, stood up and said, "Hello Minister Fang Ze, Mr. Hiraoka!" ”

"Have you seen the material?" Ryuichi Hiraoka asked.

"Skimmed it out." Feng Chen replied.

Hiraoka Ryuichi followed closely behind Fang Ze Kenkichi, walked to the tea table and sat down, Feng Chen hurriedly stepped forward and poured a cup of tea for each of them, and then stood respectfully beside Hiraoka Ryuichi.

Hiraoka Ryuichi tilted his head and looked at Feng Chen, and asked, "Have you thought about the matter of Fang Zewai's translation?" ”

"I've already asked for leave from the company, I'm afraid that I'm not going to be good, don't miss the big thing of Foreign Minister Fang Ze." Feng Chen replied.

"No, it won't! I just need someone who is familiar with both Chinese and Japanese cultures to be a translator. Fang Ze Kenji picked up the teacup and took two sips of tea and said.

"Tell me what you think of these negotiators of the National Government." Hiraoka Ryu together.

"I'm not very familiar with them, and I can't tell anything just by the resumes on the materials." Feng Chen said.

"That's right, negotiation still depends on strength." Hiraoka Ryu together.

"Mr. Feng, let me ask you a question, from your point of view, if we don't stop fighting in Japan this time, how will the situation develop?"

Fang Ze Qianji put down the teacup he was holding in his hand and suddenly threw a question at Feng Chen.

Feng Chen thought for a moment and replied with a smile: "If the Japanese side insists on refusing to stop the war, Britain, France, the United States, Italy and other countries will definitely not sit idly by, and will even directly participate in the mediation by force, so that the Japanese side will fall into a situation of complete isolation in the international community, which will definitely not benefit you Japan." ”

"Why?" Fang Ze Kenji then asked.

Feng Chen replied: "Because this involves the fundamental interests of all countries, if the Japanese government is isolated, not only will it not get any benefits in Shanghai, but it may even lose the vested interests obtained by the Manchurian and Mongolian sides." ”

"Well, yes, it's basically the same as our opinion, and I'll be very relieved that Mr. Feng will be my translator." Yoshizawa Kenkichi glanced at Ryuichi Hiraoka and said with a slight smile on his face.

"Thank you Foreign Minister Yoshizawa and Mr. Hiraoka for your trust, I will do my best to do a good job." Feng Chen said.

"Good! Tomorrow morning, Mr. Feng will join us at the British Consulate in Shanghai for informal negotiations. Kenji Fang Ze got up and commanded.
