Everyone didn't have a familiar greeting, just looked at each other lightly and then found a seat and sat down, of course, including Zhang Jingjiang and Kong Xiangxi's fire-filled eyes.

This was an informal meeting, and although most of the participants were senior officials and veterans, they could not represent the Standing Committee of the Central Committee or the Political Axe Work Conference, but these people were veterans, and the elders meant a large number of protégés and had great influence within the party, the army, and society.

"Vice President Wang Zhaoming suddenly left Yucheng and went to Hanoi, and there is reason to link his departure with Mine's statement on China yesterday, as well as Vice President Wang's consistent advocacy. Vice President Wang is a veteran of our party, and has held an important position in the party's political axe for a long time, if, what I am saying is that if there is treason and surrender to the enemy, it will inevitably have a huge impact on the morale of the army and the people, and this situation must be avoided. ”

Chiang Kai-shek gave a brief account of the current situation and the purpose of convening this informal meeting, after which he looked at the crowd and waited for their speeches.

"I still said the same thing, send him a telegram and order him to come back, otherwise he will be expelled from the party and declared a traitor." Sun Keke didn't care what kind of veteran he was here, he spoke first, and his tone was extremely tough.

Kong Xiangxi was arguing with him for a long time just now, and when he saw that he was still like this, he shook his head in his heart, Chiang Kai-shek just kept talking about Vice President Wang, Vice President Wang, which shows that Chiang Kai-shek does not want to take such drastic action now.

He cleared his throat before saying: "Vice President Wang's treason has not been revealed, and the people do not know about it, so I think it is better to postpone the disposal." ”

"I think it's okay," Wu Zhihui of Luotuo shook his shabby robe, and his ugly face did not move at all, without a little expression: "Wang Zhaoming's move must be a corresponding statement from Minai, this is not strange, I propose to convene an emergency meeting of the Central Standing Committee to study the handling of Wang Jingwei, this kind of scum has lost the face of the prime minister and the face of the ancestors." ”

Kong Xiangxi stopped talking now, Wu Zhihui is a person who behaves strangely, and his speech is even more scathing, and no one is happy to talk to him.

"Elder Wu Zhi, I think it's better to be cautious, Yongzhi is right, after all, he hasn't made any obvious moves," Zhang Jingjiang saw that no one else spoke, so he opened his mouth to persuade: "I also think that his departure must be related to Mine's statement, but as one of the party leaders, as long as he does not express his position publicly for a day, he should be cautious in his treatment." ”

"Alas," the sigh seemed to be contagious, Zou Lu and Ju Zheng, who had just come in, sighed almost at the same time, the two looked at each other, and Ju Zheng said: "Deal with what Wang Zhaoming didn't say, but how to deal with it I think is still cautious, since the start of the war, the voice of the party leader and peace has continued, if it is only because he advocates peace talks and leaving Hanoi, this reason does not seem to be enough to expel him from the party, I suggest that it is mainly to save." ”

"How can it be saved? He has gone to Hanoi, and if he has the slightest hesitation, he will not leave? Sun Ke's tone today was very impulsive, and he didn't seem to give up until he put Wang Jingwei to death.

"I think it's okay, Wang Jingwei only has Zeng Zhongming and Mei Siping when he leaves, and Chen Gongbo and they are still in China, so you can send him to persuade him." Zou Lu made a suggestion.

"I'm afraid it's a meat bun beating a dog, and I'll never go back." Wu Zhihui said in a weird way.

"If it's thick, you have to squeeze it, just let Xu Shu send an envoy, if he wants not to leave an infamy, just stay." Yu Youren expressed his support: "As long as he is willing to come back, he can not blame the past, and he can also make adjustments to the political axe personnel." ”

"Political axe personnel adjustments?" Sun Ke sneered, and said unabashedly: "Treason is still justified!" Then I'll go too. ”

"If you want to go for a while, you can go," Wu Zhihui looked at him with a smile: "First publish in the newspaper, declare that you will break off the father-son relationship with the prime minister, and then change your surname." ”

Sun Ke was speechless, Zou Lu glared at Sun Ke reproachfully, and then said: "Don't say anything about vindictiveness, I have a worry, with Wang Zhaoming's surname, since he is gone, he will not come back, it is better to let him go to Europe, or go to the United States, as for the reorganization of the political axe, there is no need for that." ”

"I think too, we can't get used to such problems," Kong Xiangxi said: "However, it seems inappropriate for Chen Gongbo to go, it is best to send one more member of the Central Committee to go, it is best to come back, if you do not want to come back, you can go to the United States, Europe is at war, it is not safe, the Central Committee announced that he will leave his post due to illness and go to the United States to recuperate." ”

Later, Lin Sen also said that the handling should be cautious, and everyone expressed their position, Chiang Kai-shek understood that his worries on the road were not unreasonable, Wang Jingwei's status in the party was really extraordinary, and almost all of these veterans had dealings with him, and they were unwilling to deal with him like this.

Eyes patrolling in the crowd, Chiang Kai-shek did not know which of the people present still had a relationship with Wang Jingwei, and his eyes were patrolling in the crowd; Wu Zhihui, although his attitude is clear, he has the best personal relationship with Wang Jingwei, who once called him a teacher; Lin Sen, when the alliance was in contact with Wang Jingwei again, although there was a conflict between the two on the issue of the Xishan Conference, he restored his party membership after 412, Wang Jingwei did not admit it, and the two had a grudge, but at this time they came forward to protect Wang Jingwei; Zhang Jingjiang, he is not Wang Jingwei's person, he is now Zhuang Jihua's behind-the-scenes senior staff, and he is also his own person; Kong Xiangxi, this is his own person; Yu Youren, who has always been neutral, has now also protected Wang Jingwei....

Since this is the case, Chiang Kai-shek exhaled softly: "Since everyone thinks that Wang Zhaoming's traces of treason have not been revealed, and he will not deal with it for the time being, according to Yongzhi's opinion, send someone to persuade him to come back, let Chen Gongbo go, if he is not willing to come back, he will go to the United States." ”

Speaking of this, he raised his eyes and glanced at the crowd: "You are all veterans of our party, and at this extraordinary moment, we must unite from top to bottom, but in order to prevent accidents, we must first ventilate the comrades in the party." ”

After an hour of deliberation, a consensus was finally reached that Wang Jingwei would not be dealt with first, and the central government would send people to Hanoi to persuade him to come back, and if he did not want to come back, he could go to the United States to recuperate, and the political axe would send him 20,000 US dollars for the trip. In order to prevent Wang Ching-wei from causing chaos within the party once he announced his response to the Minai statement, the elders used their private capacities to expose the party cadres and launched a wave of propaganda to publicize the War of Resistance and oppose surrender.

When he left Lin Yuan, it was already late at night, Chiang Kai-shek felt very tired, he did not say a word on the way back to Huangshan, and his mood was very bad, Wang Jingwei's departure had a very great impact on the war of resistance, and the blow to the Kuomintang was also very great, and what made him a little strange was that the information that had always been very accurate did not have the slightest report on this aspect this time.

When I returned to the Huangshan Mansion, it was already eleven o'clock, Song Meiling had already slept, Lin Wei and Chen Bui, who came back first, had already collected some information, and Dai Li had already waited for two hours.

"After Vice President Wang left, Zhou Fohai also left Yucheng, the current news is only spread at the top level, and has not yet been spread, Chen Gongbo and Bai Sitong took tonight's train to Yucheng, according to the time, they will arrive in Yucheng at about nine o'clock tomorrow." Chen Bui simply reported to Chiang Kai-shek what he had learned.

"Chief of General Staff He reported that he had convened a meeting of Sichuan generals in Yucheng and informed them of the news that Wang Jingwei had left Yucheng to Hanoi without authorization, and that Deng Xihou, Tian Songyao, Liu Chunhou and other Sichuan generals expressed their support for the Central Committee's War of Resistance to the End, and in addition, Chief of Staff He also greeted He Jian, Tang Shengzhi, Wang Jialie and others in Yucheng, and they all expressed their support for the Central Committee." Lin Wei collected the situation of the army.

"Does Feng Yuxiang know?" Chiang Kai-shek asked.

"I specifically asked Chief He, but I didn't inform him." Lin Wei replied that he knew why Chiang Kai-shek had this question, Feng Yuxiang was a big mouth, and if he knew, it meant that the whole world would know.

"You guys go and rest, let Dai Li and Tang Zong come in." Chiang Kai-shek nodded slightly.

"Wait," Lin Wei and Chen Bui were just about to turn around, when Chiang Kai-shek suddenly stopped them: "Why is there no Long Yun." ”

"Chief He said that Long Yun was sick and did not attend the meeting." Lin Wei explained, and Chiang Kai-shek nodded hesitantly.

Lin Wei and Chen Bui turned to leave, after a while, Dai Li came in, Dai Li's mood was very nervous at this moment, the military commander did not monitor Wang Jingwei, but Chen Bijun was very cautious, never used a maid with unknown routes, the military commander spent a lot of effort to buy a servant, but I didn't expect that some time ago, Chen Bijun suddenly replaced all the servants in the house, and found three new servants from Guangdong, which caught the military commander off guard, and the source of intelligence was cut off, so that he was caught off guard today.

"Principal, students are derelict in their duties, please punish the principal." Dai Li is very clever, he pleaded guilty as soon as he opened his mouth, he knew that if he wanted to be investigated, this was his responsibility, rather than let Chiang Kai-shek pursue it, it was better to ask for guilt first.

Chiang Kai-shek waved his hand, he didn't plan to hold anyone responsible, Wang Jingwei wanted to do this kind of thing, it must be very secretive, he was already sure in his heart that it was Gao Zongwu who was pulling the strings for him, and last time this kid ran to Yuben without authorization, he should deal with him.

"You immediately prepare a team of men and go to Hanoi to stand by." Chiang Kai-shek gave the order directly, and Dai Lileng immediately understood, and his spirit immediately perked up: "Yes, the student understands." ”

"But there is one thing, no action is allowed without my orders! Do you understand! Chiang Kai-shek's tone was very harsh.

"Understood." Dai Lixin said, without your order, I will definitely not dare to kill the vice president of the Kuomintang.

Dai Li waited for two hours for such an order, but he was very happy, and he was already thinking quickly in his heart to send those people to carry out this task.

On the porch, he met Tang Zong hurrying over, Dai Li said hello to him, Tang Zong asked in a low voice what was the matter, Dai Li approached him and whispered, "Go quickly, Wang." ”

This is destined to be an unquiet night, Hongyan Village is also brightly lit, after the fall of Wuhan, Zhou EN led the Wuhan Eighth Route Army Office and the Southern Bureau to move to Yucheng, which was changed from a liaison office to an office, becoming the highest organ in Yucheng. The news of Mr. Wang's departure also shocked the busy office.
