Chapter 217: Treason
Bai Fei is a layman, so he, like most men, is naturally the more good things about women. What's more, now Kong Lingwei is obviously Wang Ba eating scales, and he is determined to hang himself on his crooked neck tree.
In this case, Bai Fei didn't have anything to say, but told Kong Lingwei that if she could convince others to approve of their marriage, he would agree to marry her.
Kong Lingwei was naturally very happy when he received Bai Fei's promise, and even proposed to return to Chongqing to launch her lobbying offensive.
Bai Fei is also happy, now Changsha is not peaceful next to the front line, the Japanese will come to bomb from time to time, if she continues to stay here, maybe there will be some accidents. In addition, in recent days, Kong Lingwei has been grinding with him day and night, which really makes him difficult to parry, making his control over himself lower and lower. Therefore, Bai Fei happily put her on the plane to Chongqing.
On this day, Bai Fei had just sent Kong Lingwei away, and he had not yet returned to the station, when he suddenly received an invitation from Chen Cheng, so he turned the car and hurried away.
Chen Cheng's current residence and office location is in Zhang Zhizhong's mansion that day. Bai Fei stood at the door, recalling that when he first came to Changsha a few days ago, Zhang Zhizhong greeted him here. Unexpectedly, it has only been a few days, and it is already a matter of fact.
Bai Fei sighed and walked in.
When he came to Chen Cheng's office, the guards at the door reported loudly into the house: "General Bai Zhenyu, head of the regiment directly under the Central Military Police, has arrived. ”
Soon Chen Cheng's voice came from inside: "Please come in!" ”
Bai Fei pushed the door and walked in, only to see a total of three people sitting in front of the desk in the house, in addition to Chen Cheng, there were two others, one was Xue Yue and the other was Luo Zhuoying, all of whom were his old acquaintances. It's just that I don't know when Xue Luo and the others came to Changsha, so it stands to reason that they should not be commanding the battle on the front line now?
Bai Fei was slightly surprised, and then saluted: "Hello three chiefs!" ”
Xue Yue stepped forward and took Bai Fei's hand and said, "Zhenyu doesn't have to be polite, come over and discuss something with you." So saying, he pulled him to his desk, where a guard brought a sofa and walked out quickly, closing the door from the outside.
After Bai Fei sat down, he saw the serious expressions on the faces of Chen Cheng and the others, so he asked, "Chief Chen, I was summoned so urgently, I don't know what happened, could it be that something happened on the front line?" ”
Chen Cheng shook his head, handed him a telegram in his hand, and said, "Zhenyu, I heard that you have publicly stated more than once that Wang Zhaoming will rebel, it seems that all this is really unfortunate for you to say!" ”
Bai Fei was shocked, looked down at the telegram, and found that it was indeed Wang Zhaoming who flew to Vietnam to announce the news of the public surrender of Japan.
"When did this happen?" Bai Fei asked urgently.
Xue Yue said: "According to sources, Wang Zhaoming flew from Chongqing to Kunming the day before yesterday in the name of a business trip, and then transferred to Hanoi; three hours ago, he publicly published a telegram in Hanoi, intending to form another pro-Japanese government, and along with him were Chen Gongbo, Zhou Fohai, Chu Minyi, Zeng Zhongwu, and other important members of the party and the state. ”
"How is this possible?" Bai Fei exclaimed.
Chen Chengqi said: "Now that this matter has become a fait accompli, how can it be impossible? Zhenyu, didn't you say many times that Wang Zhaoming would descend to the sun, but now you don't believe it, it's really incomprehensible. ”
Bai Fei was speechless for a while, and said in his heart, it's not that I don't believe it, but I feel that the time is not right. In history, Wang Zhaoming committed treason and surrendered to Japan, which happened on December 18, 1938. And now it has just entered December, that is to say, the time for Wang Zhaoming's defection has been advanced? But then Bai Fei came to his senses that Wang Zhaoming's early defection time may be due to the impact of what he said to Chen Gongbo and Zhou Fohai at Zhang Zhizhong's banquet when he first came to Changsha a few days ago.
So Bai Fei said: "Oh, this, it's not that I don't believe it, but I feel that I have reminded Dai Li many times, and General Zhang Zhizhong has also sent a warning letter to the commission at the request of me, which... Why did they still let Wang Zhaoming and them run away? ”
Chen Cheng was stunned when he heard this, shook his head and sighed: "I also know about this matter, but I don't believe it, he doesn't think that a "martyr" like Wang Zhaoming and the elders of the party-state will be treasonous. Moreover, Wang Zhaoming is also the vice president of the Kuomintang X Party and the president of the National Council, with a high position. How can one believe unfounded words..."
Bai Fei was speechless for a while.
Luo Zhuoying said: "It's no wonder that when Wang Zhaoming was young, he once sacrificed his life and forgot to die for the revolution, put his life and death out of the way, wrote poems that led the knife into a fast, lived up to his youth's head, and always followed Mr. Zhongshan, who would have thought that he would make such a traitorous act of treason to the party and the country when he was old..."
Chen Cheng said: "Now is not the time to sigh, now our country and nation are in the autumn of life and death, Wang Zhaoming, as a veteran of the party-state, has very high qualifications, his treason to form a pro-Japanese government will definitely cause a lot of waves, and the united front against Japan will have a very big impact. ”
After a pause, Chen Cheng said again: "Zhenyu, there are two things that call you here today, one is to ask you how you think you should deal with Wang Zhaoming's treason. ”
Chen Cheng's question was a little strange, and it stands to reason that Chiang Kai-shek's question is the right thing to do.
Chen Cheng coughed and said, "Actually, this is also the meaning of the commission, he wants me to ask you on his behalf." ”
Bai Fei said: "Chief Chen, what can I do, unless I find someone to kill him, it's a hundred." ”
Chen Cheng said: "This is not a bad way, but now that he has taken refuge in the Japanese, I think that the Japanese will definitely protect him strictly in order to split China, and it may not be easy to kill him." After a pause, he said: "Zhenyu, you have already expected the current situation, there must be other coping strategies, right?" It's okay, don't worry, say it boldly. ”
Bai Fei smiled bitterly, and said in his heart that I just knew a little bit of historical knowledge, so I knew that he would defect, and according to history, Wang Zhaoming did not die of illness until 1944, and during this period, the Wang puppet government he formed in Nanjing did not fall until 45 years. Now if you ask me how to deal with it, I really don't know.
However, Bai Fei couldn't say anything like this, he saw that Chen Cheng, Xue Yue, and Luo Zhuoying were all looking at him with hopeful eyes, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say: "Although Wang Zhaoming descends to the sun, there will naturally be a bad impact, but according to my estimate, the impact is also very limited, and the unification of our anti-Japanese war cause should not suffer many twists and turns." Don't forget, even if Wang Zhaoming descends to Japan to form a government, no matter how famous he is, he will be a puppet under the hands of the Japanese, how much effect can he play? Besides, even if there was no Wang Zhaoming, wouldn't the Japanese have looked for Zhang Zhaoming, Li Zhaoming, and Wang Zhaoming to come out as puppets in the occupied area? So I don't think we need to worry too much. ”
