On December 15, the Sino-US tung oil loan was established with an amount of 90 million US dollars, and the first batch of 5 million US dollars expired in five years.

On December 16, Sino-British Credit Loan was established, with the first batch of 450,000 pounds.

Two successive loans from Western powers have greatly boosted the morale of the Chinese military and civilians. The alleviation of financial pressure is still secondary, and the most important thing is the change in the attitude of Britain and the United States towards China, which is a precursor to the West's active assistance to China.

The reason why the United States and Britain agreed to borrow money from China was naturally because they were afraid that China would completely collapse, and the fall of Guangzhou and Wuhan in October was very frightening.

Our President Chiang, who will henceforth be called President, and Chairman of the Committee has become history, immediately made a public report in Chongqing, declaring that he was extremely optimistic about the future of China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. With the concerted efforts of the Chinese military and civilians and overseas Chinese, and the European and American powers have begun to provide economic aid to China, there will be more help for those who have attained the righteousness and little help for those who have lost the righteousness, and China's just war will surely be won.

Less than two weeks after President Jiang's report was published, Wang Zhaoming ran away with his wife. He flew to Yunnan in the name of an investigation, and then flew to Vietnam, and sent a telegram to Zhang Qun on the way, saying that he would go abroad to negotiate peace with Japan to save the country.

After arriving in Vietnam, Wang Zhaoming immediately sent out the famous "Yan Dian", openly treasonous and betrayed the party and became a traitor.

Wang Zhaoming said in the telegram that China's difficulties lie in persisting in the war, and Japan's difficulties lie in ending the war. Both governments want peace, and he is willing to be a messenger of peace. Wang Zhaoming also mentioned the Sino-British borrowing and the Sino-US borrowing, and believed that the change of attitude between Britain and the United States can bring about peace between China and Japan. However, it is only to bring about peace, and it is impossible for Britain and the United States to intervene by force, and China will be defeated on the battlefield, and peace talks are the only way out for China.

Well, Wang Zhaoming wants to be the great savior of the Chinese people.

The news of Wang Zhaoming's defection immediately caused an uproar among the people.

Chang Kaishen was inexplicably shocked and angry, and his anger was not just Wang Zhaoming's defection, but Wang Zhaoming's desire to negotiate peace with Japan. As early as more than half a year ago, Japan openly declared that it would not hold peace talks with the Nationalist Government -- the hidden meaning of this sentence was that Japan was willing to hold peace talks with other "governments" in China.

Wang Zhaoming's telegram saying that he wanted peace talks with Japan meant that he wanted to set up another government, which was a challenge to the authority of Chang Kaishen and the Nationalist Government.

This is indeed the case, Wang Zhaoming was still hesitant to break away from Chongqing and establish another government, but his wife Chen Bijun came directly and said: "Is it possible to be a traitor and sit in the second position?" ”

This sentence is enough to explain the essence, that is, Wang Zhaoming's defection has nothing to do with saving the country, but is eyeing the position of the country's number one.

What kind of personality is Wang Zhaoming?

Indecisive, unassertive, capricious, impulsive!

In the comments of Chen Gongbo, the No. 2 person in Wang's puppet regime: "Mr. Wang can't succeed without Bijun, and he won't be defeated without Bijun." ”

As the saying goes, success is also a wife, and defeat is also a wife.

In the whole process of Wang Zhaoming's defection, Chen Bijun played a decisive role.

In October last year, Japan put a delay in the war and entrusted Germany to mediate the war, but China did not accept it because the conditions were too harsh. Chen Bijun deeply regretted this, and she actually said: "It is already satisfied to be able to get back to the south of the Yellow River from Japan." Even north of the Yellow River, and even in the northeast, it is not easy to recover...... In the past, China had five eastern provinces, and Fengtian was originally a dowry brought by the Manchus, but now they just brought back their own dowry, so what reason is there to oppose it? ”

Due to the statement issued by the Japanese government declaring that it would not use the Nationalist Government as a negotiating partner, and because many government bureaucrats and local warlords had no confidence in the war of resistance. Wang Zhaoming, Chen Bijun and his wife, in light of the domestic and international situation, believe that they will inevitably respond to every call when they come forward for peace talks.

After learning of Wang Zhaoming's attitude, the Japanese side lured Wang Zhaoming. Wang Zhaoming was extremely excited about this, but he was afraid that it would be difficult to end if the work was not done, so he was anxious that Zhou Fohai, Mei Siping and others discussed it repeatedly, but he couldn't make up his mind.

Chen Bijun actually took matters into his own hands and replied to the Japanese, bypassing Wang Zhaoming: "As long as Japan recognizes at the Imperial Council that Wang will come out to lead the 'peace movement', Mr. Wang is willing to come out." ”

Immediately, Chen Bijun personally went to Guangzhou to investigate, hoping to get the support of Yu Hanmou, Wu Tiecheng and others. And secretly liaise within the Kuomintang to get more supporters.

Until more than half a month before he officially defected, Wang Zhaoming had not made up his mind to be a traitor, and convened Zhou Fohai and others to hold seven or eight meetings repeatedly. Until Mei Siping was about to leave Chongqing to reply to the Japanese, Chen Bijun stood up again and said: "Mr. Mei is leaving tomorrow, this time you have to make up your mind, don't go back!" ”

Wang Zhaoming gritted his teeth and nodded: "It's decided, it's decided!" ”

Chen Bijun was not just instigated, Wang Zhaoming was able to defect from Yunnan through the channel, and it was Chen Bijun who personally went to Yunnan to persuade Long Yun. In the process of the formation of Wang's puppet regime, Chen Bijun arranged all his relatives and friends into various departments, and also went to Hong Kong to mobilize Chen Gongfu to be a traitor, and many traitors were personally pulled out by Chen Bijun.

Wang Zhaoming was found on the third day after leaving Chongqing, and Chang Kaishen also wanted to redeem it, claiming that Wang Zhaoming did not defect, but just went to Vietnam to recuperate, because Wang's old injuries had flare-up.

Chang Kaishen hurriedly asked Wu Zhihui to write a letter to persuade him, because Wu and Wang Zhaoming and his wife had a close personal relationship.

Wu Zhihui knew Wang Zhaoming too well, and knew that with Wang Zhaoming's rat guts, he couldn't do such a big thing as defection. He ignored Wang Zhaoming and wrote directly to Chen Bijun, understanding that the decision was in Chen Bijun's hands.

As a result, before the letter arrived, Wang Zhaoming's "Yandian" was sent. Wu Zhihui's first reaction was not to scold Wang Zhaoming, but to catch Chen Bijun and scold, and changed his nickname to "Chen Fart Skirt".

Even though Wang Zhaoming publicly announced the treason of "Yandian", he was still hesitant. In particular, when the Japanese Konoe cabinet collapsed, the newly appointed Hiranuma cabinet was not enthusiastic about luring Wang Zhaoming to surrender, causing Wang Zhaoming to feel abandoned and even gave birth to the idea of going to Europe for inspection.

Well, openly treason and betrayal of the party, and being treated coldly by Japan, he actually wanted to go away and hide, Wang Zhaoming didn't know what he was thinking from beginning to end. He is a man who thinks highly of himself, but he is low-minded, impulsive, and indecisive. Once he encounters a setback, he thinks not about how to solve it, but how to escape it.

Stopped by Chen Bijun and a group of traitors, Wang Zhaoming did not immediately travel to Europe and began to make secret contact with the Japanese again. The Japanese were also afraid that Wang Zhaoming would pick on him, so they hurriedly sent traitors to stabilize it, and also delivered Itagaki's incentive documents.

And the content of Wang Zhaoming's reply to the Japanese at this time also fully shows his vacillation. There are three contents: first, if Japan contacts veterans, Wang Zhaoming is willing to assist in mediation; Second, if Japan contacts people other than Lao Chiang, Wang Zhaoming is willing to mediate in the opposition; Third, if he is to be responsible, Wang Zhaoming is willing to step forward.

What does this mean?

It shows that after Wang Zhaoming openly committed treason, he suddenly regretted it a little, and did not want to make his own decision to be a traitor, but put the decision on whether to be a traitor in the hands of the Japanese.

It's like playing mahjong and not knowing which card to play, so you say to your fellow players at the table, "You can play a random card for me." ”

However, Wang Zhaoming's reply to the Japanese was known to Lao Jiang. Lao Jiang was very angry, because none of the three contents were acceptable to him, he didn't want peace talks, he didn't want others to negotiate peace with Japan, and he didn't want Wang Zhaoming to be promoted to the throne by Japan.

Originally, Lao Jiang also planned to ease the matter, but Wang Zhaoming sent people to Europe to investigate. Now that Wang Zhaoming gave Japan a "clear" reply, Lao Chiang immediately decided to take coercive measures - assassination!

As a result, Wang Zhaoming's life was great, and the assassin killed Zeng Zhongming next to him, but Wang Zhaoming was only injured in the arm.

Wang Zhaoming, who was hesitant, finally became angry, and he stood up to expose the details of the "peace talks" between Lao Chiang and Japan, hoping to arouse the sympathy of the Chinese people. On the other hand, they accelerated the pace of negotiations with Japan, and finally embarked on the road of no return to being a traitor.

Throughout Wang Zhaoming's treason process, at the beginning, he had a thief's heart but no courage, and he was instigated by his wife to take countless steps. After taking a key step, he wanted to turn back, but he was reluctant to turn back, and he couldn't turn back.

Well, in the end, Lao Jiang's assassination helped him make a decision.
