The so-called "Dadao City Government" was actually a puppet government established in December 1937 on Dongchang Road in Pudong just after the Japanese army occupied Shanghai. The mayor of the puppet government is Su Xiwen, a hardcore traitor and a native of Xiamen who was wanted by the Nationalist Government for being against the country.

In fact, this puppet government did not exist for long, and was replaced by the Shanghai Municipal Supervision Office and the Shanghai Special Government, which were also puppet regimes of the Japanese army, in less than half a year, and these two puppet governments did not exist for long.

At that time, as soon as the Dadao government was established, it was eager to take over the financial institutions in Shanghai, so he appointed Qin Zhuo, the confidential secretary of the municipal government, to concurrently serve as the deputy general manager of the Bank of Shanghai, and then he wanted to take over the head office of the Bank of Shanghai on Tianjin Road. Later, Qin Zhuo also planned to use the power of the concession patrol house to forcibly accept it, but the Bank of Shanghai directly foiled the conspiracy of these traitors by "announcing the closure".

Later, Qin Zhuo repeated his old tricks and planned to take over the Shanghai Industrial Trust, but the result was unsuccessful. The reason for this is that all the large financial institutions are working in the concession, and the Dadao government has nothing to do with them, and several so-called expropriations are all self-inflicted.

For this kind of puppet government that has not existed for a few days and has no real influence, Fang Hongjian naturally didn't take it seriously, so he asked lightly: "May I ask Mr. Qin what good news do you want to tell Fang?" ”

"That's right, Mr. Fang, after collective discussion by the municipal government, it has been decided to invite you to serve as the deputy director of the health bureau under the new government, this is a letter of appointment, and I ask you to take office as soon as possible." Qin Zhuo said very proudly.

For this appointment, Fang Hongjian can be said to be very surprised, no matter how he can't imagine how this puppet government thinks about it, how can he think of making himself the deputy director of Raushzi?

In fact, there are two reasons for this, one is that after yesterday's incident, Su Xiwen, Qin Zhen and others felt that Fang Hong was gradually the same kind of person as themselves, otherwise could they get together with Lieutenant Songdao of the special high class? Second, because the reputation of the Dadao government is too bad, it has been established for several months, but there are eight bureaus and three departments under its name (Police Department, Finance Bureau, Education Bureau, Health Bureau, Land Bureau, Transportation Bureau, Public Works Bureau; the Secretariat, the Office of the Special Administrative Region, the Prosecution Department; In the local administrative bureau, except for the police station, which recruited a large number of ruffians and hooligans, it is neatly staffed, and there are two or three kittens everywhere in the other bureaus, which is not a climate at all. Therefore, after learning that Fang Hongji, a university lecturer and a well-known doctor, was a person along the way with him, he naturally couldn't wait to come to recruit him.

But how could Fang Hongjian agree to such an unpopular solicitation? Not to mention that the Great Dao government will not exist for a few months, even if Chen Gongbo personally invites him, he will not agree.

So Fang Hong gradually replied coldly: "Thank you for your appreciation, but I won't accept this invitation." ”

"Huh?! Why, Mr. Fang? Qin Xuan asked puzzled.

Fang Hong gradually spit out seven words faintly: "The Tao is different, and it is not conspiratory." ”

"No, Mr. Fang, aren't you a good friend of Lieutenant Matsushima, then, why did you do this?"

"Mr. Qin, I think you may have misunderstood, although I am very familiar with Lieutenant Matsushima, the word friend is absolutely unspeakable, and even if I have a good personal relationship with her, in the face of major rights and wrongs, I will definitely not be affected by these personal feelings." Fang Hong said awe-inspiringly.

Qin Xuan persuaded a few more words, and finally had to leave the clinic helplessly. But because of this refusal, Fang Hongji's reputation has changed somewhat, and in an incident that happened half a month later, Fang Hongji's pro-Japanese reputation was completely washed away.

On February 5, 1938, a simple but solemn memorial meeting was held in the auditorium of the French Concession Church in Shanghai, Mr. Qian Yishi was a famous educator and social activist in modern times, who ran for the country all his life, especially during the 813 period, and came to the front line many times to carry out condolences and propaganda for the soldiers, and finally became ill and died on January 29 at the age of 49.

Because Mr. Qian Yishi's status in Shanghai's cultural circles is very high, basically some famous people in the cultural circles appeared at today's memorial service, and Fang Hongjian became the author of the novel who has become famous in the past two years with "Jinghua Smoke and Clouds", so he was also able to participate in this memorial service.

But halfway through the memorial service, an uninvited guest suddenly came, this person is Shen Yi, the head of the Dadao Government Propaganda Unit, Shen Yi, who is just 32 years old this year, actually emerged before the war, and was a reporter of the "Oriental Times" and the editor-in-chief of the "Creation" monthly newspaper, but unfortunately he is the same as Su Xiwen, he is a pro-Japanese element, and even everyone hates him more than Su Xiwen, because his whole day work is to check whether the articles published by various news media have anti-Japanese tendencies. During this time, he can be said to have offended the patriotic literati in Shanghai.

Everyone was naturally extremely unhappy about his arrival, and the host Li Jianwu frowned and asked coldly, "Chief Shen, what are you doing here?" ”

"Of course I'm here to pay tribute to Mr. Qian." Shen Yi didn't seem to see everyone's cold attitude towards him, and replied indifferently.

"But I don't think Mr. Qian will welcome you." Li Jian Wu said bluntly.

Shen Yi snorted coldly and retorted: "Li Jianwu, you are not Mr. Qian, how do you know that Mr. Qian does not welcome me?" Then he pointed to a few people who were carrying cameras and flashes behind him: "And for today's memorial service, I also specially invited the reporter of "Dong-A Daily" to come, if Mr. Li makes another impolite move, be careful that I will report on you tomorrow." ”

Looking at Shen Yi's arrogant appearance, Fang Hongjian was also very unaccustomed to it, but he knew that today was a big day to commemorate Mr. Qian after all, and there were reporters at the scene, so it was inconvenient for everyone to be rude, but seeing a traitor showing off his might here, he really couldn't stand it, but fortunately, at this time, Fang Hong's mind flashed, and he suddenly thought of a good idea.

PS: I don't know if it's because the subject matter of this book is too niche or if I deliberately take the real route not enough to please readers, in short, the results of this book are far from what I expected, but I still have to write it, because this is the first time in my history that I have so many manuscripts......
