On December 25, 1938, Chongqing, the Provisional Confidential Headquarters of the Military Command

Dai Li carefully looked at the plan handed in by Deng Zhenting, while Deng Zhenting stood aside honestly, waiting for Dai Li's response.

After a long time, Dai Li slowly put down the documents, looked at Deng Zhenting and said, "It's feasible." ”

As soon as Dai Li's words fell, he signed the document, and then Dai Li took out a file bag from the drawer, put the document inside, and carefully sealed it.

Deng Zhenting asked, "When will I leave?" ”

Dai Li stood up and locked the documents into the safe behind him, and replied, "I have two more things to explain to you. ”

"Please take a seat!" Deng Zhenting said straightly.

Dai Li closed the door of the safe, turned around to look at Deng Zhenting and said slowly: "First, I have discussed with Chen Lifu yesterday, "Wang" still has to be eliminated, and the specific plan needs you to go to Shanghai to contact "Feng", which will be arranged by you and Xiao Chen Gongzi. ”

Immediately afterwards, Dai Li said: "Second, I want you to rebuild the Shanghai Station of the Military Command, and all the previous personnel will be withdrawn from Shanghai Beach, whether they are exposed or not, and I will send all the personnel to you one after another, and I want you to keep an eye on the "Feng" but if he has any will that is not firm, lean in the direction of the Gong, and get rid of him immediately!" ”

Deng Zhenting was stunned, but only for a moment he came back to his senses and said loudly: "Yes!" ”

"Go ahead." Dai Li waved his hand and said.

Deng Zhenting nodded, and Lisuo turned around and walked out of Dai Li's office.

......

Shanghai Beach, Wang Mansion.

Wang Zhaoming met Gu Hongliang in the Spanish Hall of the mansion today, and Wang Zhaoming sat on the main seat with an elegant smile on his face.

This man, known as Mei Lanfang in the south, is now finally about to become the leader of the so-called Republic of China government.

He looked at Gu Hongliang and said slowly: "When I was in Nanjing in my early years, I often heard of Mr. Gu's name. ”

Gu Hongliang waved his hand modestly when he heard this, and said: "The things of the past are not worth mentioning now, the situation has changed so quickly, and now that I think about it, it was just bloody and reckless back then." ”

Wang Zhaoming smiled when he heard this, and said after a while: "I heard General Dakochi say that the economy of Shanghai Tang is supported by the economic committee established by Mr. Gu, otherwise the economy of Shanghai Tang would not have been able to sustain half a year ago. ”

When Gu Hongliang heard this, he nodded proudly and said: "It's not that I, Gu someone, boasts, the current Shanghai Tang economy is really not a few people who can play without me." ”

Wang Zhaoming was a little displeased with Gu Hongliang's slightly suggestive answer, but he couldn't see any dislike on his face, after all, he had been a political dignitary for many years, and there was no shortage of Wang Zhaoming.

Originally, in Wang Zhaoming's mind, the Minister of Economic Affairs was the most important thing in any political regime, and the operation, diplomacy, and war of a government were all inseparable from the economy.

In other words, the economy is one of the most important lifeblood of the country, and before coming to Shanghai, Wang Zhaoming's choice was Zhou Fohai, his absolute confidant.

But after arriving in Shanghai, Liang Hongzhi, who had no theory of whether he was a Japanese or a member of the Restoration government, mentioned the economy, and he admired Gu Hongliang very much.

Therefore, Wang Zhaoming deliberately sent Zhou Fohai to take the initiative to inquire about Gu Hongliang, and after inquiry, he found that this Gu Hongliang not only had a good relationship with the Japanese and the Restoration government, but his son-in-law was actually a well-known spy leader in Shanghai.

His son-in-law is not only a spy leader, but also the third son of Tang Chaoyuan, the king of Shanghai Tang Film, and the Gu and Tang families are united, and there can be said that there is no businessman in the entire Jiangbei who can stand side by side.

After Zhou Fohai came back from inquiring, he took the initiative to propose to Wang Zhaoming that the Minister of Economic Affairs should hand over to Gu Hongliang.

Since Zhou Fohai also took the initiative to let Xian, Wang Zhaoming no longer insisted, so he sent someone to arrange a meeting with Gu Hongliang today two days ago.

Wang Zhaoming suppressed the dislike in his heart and said to Gu Hongliang: "Since this is the case, Wang is not going around in circles with Mr. Gu, and I invite Mr. Gu to come this time, just to invite Mr. Gu to serve as the Minister of Economic Affairs of the National Government, I don't know if Mr. Gu is willing." ”

Gu Hongliang was overjoyed when he heard this, but Gu Hongliang has been up and down in the mall for many years, and he is naturally a person with full determination.

I saw him nod reservedly, and said in a calm tone: "So I care that someone is willing to serve the national government and be loyal!" ”

When Wang Zhaoming heard this, he immediately pretended to be happy, laughed twice and said: "The national government has Mr. Gu in the economy, why worry about the country is not rich and strong? ”

Gu Hongliang looked at Wang Zhaoming's happy appearance, but in his heart, he knew that the position of the Minister of Economic Affairs was not willing enough for Wang Zhaoming.

However, Gu Hongliang is an old man, and he naturally knows how to make up for it, so that Wang Zhaoming is really willing to hand over the post of Minister of Economic Affairs to him.

"Gu knows that the new government is about to be established, and it is inevitable that there will be financial difficulties, and Gu is willing to lead the Shanghai Economic Committee to raise donations and bear half of the military expenses of the national government in the first year!" Gu Hongliang touched the beard on his chin, stared at Wang Zhaoming and said with a smile.

When Wang Zhaoming heard this, he immediately looked at Gu Hongliang with wide eyes, and then as if he was afraid that Gu Hongliang would regret it, Wang Zhaoming hurriedly said: "So it's very good!" That's great! This is a matter with Mr. Gu! ”

Immediately afterwards, Wang Zhaoming shouted loudly outside the hall: "Bijun! Crack open a bottle of champagne! I want to celebrate with Mr. Gu! ”

In fact, Gu Hongliang's abacus was shrewd, and Gu Hongliang knew very well that Liang Hongzhi's reform government, the entire army from Shanghai to Nanjing only had seven divisions and one brigade.

The puppet army in North China is even less pitiful than that of the Restoration Government, and it is not worth mentioning at all, and half of the military expenditure of the above Beach Economic Committee is easily taken out.

Besides, if you spread the word about becoming the Minister of Economy, you don't need to raise donations, and the members of the Economic Committee and the businessmen around Shanghai will have to queue up to send money!

And if you can control the central bank of the new national government, this money can be said to be worthless.

On the other side, Wang Zhaoming is also an ambitious person, as long as he takes office, the first thing he has to do is to absorb all kinds of puppet armies and warlords, not only that, but he also has to expand the army!

Gu Hongliang was willing to bring a group of businessmen to pay, which was simply happy Wang Zhaoming!

Just when the two of them were thinking about each other, Chen Bijun walked in with the opened champagne, poured the champagne in the champagne glass himself, and gave it to the two.

"Bijun, you also pour a drink with me and Mr. Gu to celebrate!" Wang Zhaoming said to Chen Bijun.

Chen Bijun was a little puzzled in his heart, obviously before Gu Hongliang came, Wang Zhaoming always talked about making him the Minister of Economic Affairs a helpless choice, why did he change his face as soon as he turned his face.

But in the end, Chen Bijun is also a woman who has seen the world, and after listening to her husband, she immediately poured a glass of wine.

Immediately after the wine glasses of the three of them touched together, making a light sound, after everyone drank the wine, Wang Zhaoming took Gu Hongliang's hand and said, "Mr. Gu will stay for dinner tonight!" I invited Fohai, Gongbo and others to introduce me to Mr. Gu! ”
