April 2, 1940. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Yichun.

Today, many cadres from afar have already left, get up early in the morning, Xiaolu urgently notified, everyone do not leave, and those who have left should hurry up and chase back. Today, there is important news to be delivered, and I rushed to the large conference room in the war room.

Everyone is very strange, what happened to the commander-in-chief?

Zhao Shangzhi was the first to come in, and when he arrived at the combat conference room, which was the place where the meeting took place yesterday, he saw that Commander-in-Chief Lu and his wife were already here, and Xue Rui was sorting out a document.

Xiao Lu saw others coming in and said, "Commander Zhao, the others will be there soon." Here's the file, you take a look at it first. "Say play, continue to look at the file.

Zhao Shangzhi took the document and looked at it a few times, the fire had already come up, and when he was angry, he wanted to scold people, but when he saw that there were only Xiaolu and his wife, he really couldn't find anyone who could scold, so he held back and continued to read.

Others came in one after another. When I got the document, I started to talk about it.

Xiaolu said: "Everyone has arrived." I'm sorry to bring you back. The reason is very simple, everyone arrived, Wang Jingwei set up a traitor government in Nanjing. Let's talk about it. If someone wants to know the details, they can ask Xue Rui. ”

Zhao Shangzhi said: "I looked at it first, there is a problem. Can you tell us about the process of Wang Jingwei's escape? The document is not detailed. ”

Xue Rui: "Okay, let me first introduce the process of reconciliation and escape between the Wang puppet clique and the enemy. ”

Xiaolu said: "Wait a minute, I'll introduce the character of Wang Zhaoming and Wang Jingwei." Everyone knows that he followed Mr. Sun's revolution and has a high reputation, but we must remember one of his characteristics, that is, walking. To go, that is, to escape. The Xinhai Revolution was successful, he was released, studied abroad and got married. France. In 1913, the Second Revolution failed, and he went abroad, France. In 1926, he fell out with Lao Chiang and left, France. 27 years, go to France again. In 32, he fell out with Zhang Xueliang, Europe. In November 35, because the Lord and was assassinated, Europe. This time, after the Anti-Japanese War, it was very thorough and fled to the Japanese. Okay, you go ahead. ”

Xue Rui: "Wang Zhaoming is pessimistic about the war and has always believed that there is no way to fight this battle. The entire Kuomintang has never ceased to make peace with Japan. Japan is also doing his work, and the action plan is called Ume Work. In February 1938, with the approval of Lao Chiang, Gao Zongwu and Zhou Longzhen arrived in Hong Kong and set up an intelligence agency called the "Institute of Japanese Studies", which was known as Zongji Foreign Company to the outside world. Gao Zongwu and Zhou Longzhen are both from the Asian Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. ”

On April 3, 1938, after Gao Zongwu returned to Wuhan, he immediately reported to Zhou Fohai, acting director of the Central Propaganda Department, on the situation of contacts in Hong Kong. Zhou Fohai reported to Wang Jingwei again. On April 14, Gao Zongwu flew to Hong Kong again. On May 30, Gao Zongwu returned to Hankou and reported to Jiang Wang, Zhou Fohai, and others on the situation of negotiations with Japan. Lao Chiang ordered Gao Zongwu to return to Hong Kong and continue to inquire about the situation in Japan. ”

On the evening of June 23, Gao Zongwu and Zhou Longzhen disguised themselves as a day

I took a taxi to the Consulate General of Japan, changed to a consulate car, and the consulate sent someone to escort me to a Japanese ship and leave Hong Kong for Japan. ”

This time, Lao Jiang didn't know the whereabouts of the two. After hesitating, Zhou Longzhen arrived in Hankou with Gao Zongwu's report, discussed with Zhou Fohai and Tao Xisheng, and sent the report to Wang Jingwei first. ”

"On July 22, Lao Jiang saw Gao Zongwu's letter, which contained the words 'I hope Mr. Wang will come out' from the Japanese government. After seeing the letter, Jiang was 'full of anger', saying that he would sever relations with Gao in the future, and ordered the suspension of Gao's activity funds, but did not deal with him. Zhou Fohai still allocated 3,000 yuan a month to Gao Zongwu. ”

During his trip to Japan, he met with Akira Kagesa, Deputy Chief of Staff Tada, Minister of War Seishiro Itagaki, and Takeo Imai, Chief of the China Division of the Ministry of the Army. Two agreements were reached: first, to accept the "peace" conditions proposed by Japan: the recognition of Manchukuo, Japan's right to station troops in Mongolia, China's participation in the anti-communist agreement, and Japan's priority in the development of North China's resources; Second, it was decided that Wang Jingwei would 'go out'"

It can be said that this time, Lao Jiang did not agree and still hesitated. Wang Jingwei and his capitulation faction determined the surrender line. ”

In addition, Wang Jingwei knew that ten days ago, Japan wanted to establish a puppet regime. He further determined the attitude of the Japanese towards him. ”

"Contacts with the Japanese continue. Gao Zongwu's lung disease recurred, and the task of contacting the Japanese side was taken over by Mei Siping, a member of the Legislative Affairs Committee of the Kuomintang Central Committee. After five talks, in the fall, the Shigemondo talks began. Then, after eight days of negotiations, the "Chongguangtang Secret Treaty" was reached with the Japanese side: First, measures to establish a new regime headed by Wang Jingwei. Second, the conditions for realizing "peace" between China and Japan. Third, detailed arrangements were made for Wang Jingwei to leave the old Chiang Nationalist Government. ”

After planning, Wang Puppet Group decided to abandon the Hong Kong road and take Kunming instead. Chen Bijun went to Kunming twice and negotiated with Long Yun to borrow a road to Vietnam. Long Yun agreed. ”

In December, the Wang puppet group dispersed to Kunming. Before leaving Chongqing, Wang left a long letter to Lao Jiang, which ended with the words: 'In the future, the brother will be easy for him, and the younger brother will be difficult'. On December 19, Wang's puppet group left Kunming for Vietnam. ”

In the Wang Jingwei incident, Long Yun's attitude is worth mentioning. After Wang Jingwei left, Long Yun immediately called Jiang to inform him of Wang's itinerary. ”

"Long Yun's approach is very interesting. He was obviously in a state of wandering, that is, letting go of Wang Jingwei and returning his itinerary. Lao Jiang noticed it. Later, Tang Shengzhi went to Kunming on the order of Lao Jiang to do Long Yun's work. Long Yun therefore did not respond to Wang Jingwei's proposal. ”

On December 22, Japanese Prime Minister Fumihiro Konoe issued his third statement on China, saying that he would not claim territory, would not demand compensation, return foreign concessions, and revoke extraterritoriality. On December 29, Wang Jingwei issued a famous Yandian in Vietnam, supporting Konoe's statement. ”

"Wang Jingwei is still forming a government in Lalongyun, Zhang Fakui and others to carry out the so-called peace movement, but they have been refused."

On January 2, Wang Jingwei was expelled from the party. In addition, Lao Jiang sent killers to assassinate Wang Jingwei, but unfortunately only killed Wang Jingwei's secretary Zeng Zhongming. Moreover, Japan's Konoe Cabinet fell on January 5, 1940, and the Hiranuma Cabinet came to power. The new cabinet was not interested in this political maneuver and left Wang Ching-wei in the cold in Hanoi, Vietnam. ”

(Zhang Yongxing: "That's not right.") Aren't Dai Li's agents very powerful? How can you not kill it? ”)

"Vietnam is the territory of the French, and the activities of the agents are underground, which is difficult."

The assassination of Wang Jingwei failed, and Lao Jiang was quite dissatisfied and blamed Dai Li. Dai Li's assassination attempts followed, but five in a row failed. ”
