In 1903, when Wang Jingwei went to Japan to study at public expense, he saw with his own eyes that Japan had grown rapidly and become strong after receiving a huge amount of reparations from the Sino-Japanese War.

Therefore, since the beginning of the confrontation between China and Japan, China has not believed that China can defeat Japan. Wang Jingwei once said: "It must be known that for decades, the economy has been backward in terms of material, and it goes without saying; Even the organization is naïve and imperfect. ”

It is also recorded that Wang Jingwei once asked Feng Yuxiang that everyone was calling for "the end of the war of resistance", where is this "bottom"? Feng said that "Japan's unconditional surrender" is the end. In Wang Jingwei's ears, "This is simply Qiu Ba's arrogance and ignorance."

Therefore, the route chosen by Wang Jingwei from the very beginning was to compromise with the Japanese.

This brings us to a historical mystery. When Wang Jingwei was in Chongqing, in Chongqing, where Dai Li's military command was pervasive, how did he contact the Japanese without being discovered? How did you leave Chongqing smoothly? The military commander even has his own people routinely monitored, why did Wang Jingwei alone be missed? And when Wang Jingwei left Chongqing, why did he leave a letter to Chiang Kai-shek: "In the future, the brother will be easy for him, and the younger brother will be difficult." ”？

And in "Li Zongren's Memoirs", why did he say - "To be fair, Wang Zhaoming became a traitor, but he did not actively sabotage the Anti-Japanese War." After he surrendered to the enemy, he did not try to surrender to the generals with whom he had the deepest roots, such as Zhang Fakui, commander of the Fourth Theater, and Huang Qixiang, commander of the 11th Group Army of the Fifth Theater. Where the righteousness lies, Wang also knows self-restraint. ”？

John Hunter Boyle, a professor of history at Stanford University in the United States and an expert on the history of the Sino-Japanese War, analyzed in the book "The Inside Story of Collaborating with the Enemy during the Sino-Japanese War" that when it is not sure which side the victory of the war belongs to, the best way is to bet on both sides!

Wang Ching-wei was on the side of the Japanese, and Chiang Kai-shek was on the side of the Americans. If the Japanese were victorious, Wang Ching-wei would have a place in the new order. If the Americans were victorious, then all the treaties with the Japanese would be nothing more than waste paper. Moreover, after the war, whether the Allies won or the Axis victory, China was the victorious power.

Therefore, whether Wang Jingwei and Chiang Kai-shek turned against each other or whether the two people had a tacit understanding, the truth is not known. Moreover, judging from Dai Li's behavior in talking about personal belongings with the Japanese in the later stages of the war, such speculation is not unreasonable!

However, no matter what the truth is, Wang Jingwei's compromise with the Japanese will never be accepted by the Chinese. The name of the traitor is well deserved.

And just when Ding Mochun was about to take action against the "Zhongmei Daily", the "Zhongmei Daily" took the lead in attacking.

At this time, newspapers and magazines that can survive in Shanghai usually have a force behind them, and these newspapers and magazines are just the mouthpieces of these forces. As for Wu Rencang, the founder of "Sino-US Daily", he is the unification department of the Central People's Republic of China!

Due to the special environment of the Shanghai Concession at this time, newspapers could avoid news censorship by the Japanese puppet authorities by hanging foreign signboards. Therefore, when the newspaper was founded, it was registered in the state of Delaware by the Roosevelt Publishing Company, and Schkede, an American businessman who operated a pharmaceutical business in Shanghai, was hired as its publisher. The newspaper is actually a party newspaper directly under the Central Committee of the Kuomintang, and it publishes two folios every day.

With these backdrops, "Sino-US Daily" dared to report some news against Japanese puppets and traitors, and some of the news could even be regarded as top secret. The education section of the newspaper once published an article entitled "The General Liquidation of Shanghai's Educational Circles," which exposed all the names of the rebellious schools and their responsible persons who were secretly colluding with Japan.

Before Ding Mochun made his move, the "Zhongmei Daily" published two important news in a row. One is to expose the secret covenant of the Japanese king, not only publishing the full text of the secret treaty, but also refuting and scolding it one by one. The other is a reprint of Wu Zhihui and Yang Gongda's paper reprimanding Wang Jingwei's traitorous words and deeds. For a time, Wang Jingwei was disgraced.

Ding Mocun was originally born in the Central Union, although he took refuge in the Japanese puppet, he also knew the foundation and heritage of the Central Union, and he didn't want to do it easily. After receiving Nanzao Yunzi's order, he always prevaricated because the time was not enough. As soon as the two pieces of news from the "Sino-US Daily" were released, it was impossible not to do it again. Otherwise, the Japanese will wonder if Ding Mo Estate still cherishes the old owner. Even if he doesn't go out of Ding Mo Village, his road to promotion will be broken.

Therefore, on the night of July 22, 1939, Ding Mo Estate sent his general Wu Sibao to raid the "Zhongmei Daily" newspaper!

Ding Mo Estate chose this day not because he looked at the yellow calendar. Instead, according to the weather forecast, it was learned that the whole day of July 22 would be cloudy with heavy rain. At this time, people's vigilance is the lowest. The chances of a successful raid will also be much higher.

Moreover, with the conduct of rent-lease patrols on weekdays, they will never go out to patrol in a rainstorm, and most of them will find a nearby place to shelter from the rain and rest comfortably. Therefore, it is impossible for anyone to stop this raid.

However, Ding Mo Estate still underestimated the old club's unity. After Ding Mocun and Li Shiqun surrendered to the enemy with the Zhongtong stations in Nanjing and Shanghai, the Zhongtong secretly equipped the periphery of the "Zhongmei Daily" with several light machine guns. In addition, there are a large number of peripheral personnel to protect, and there are at least a dozen bright and dark sentry posts. surrounded the "Zhongmei Daily" newspaper office.

Therefore, Wu Sibao took more than 20 people and drove the car, and such a big movement was noticed before he could reach the door of the "Zhongmei Daily" newspaper. Raise the alarm.

According to Wu Sibao's original plan, he was to take these 20 or so people to enter through the main gate, and then shoot and kill none of the people in the newspaper office. However, they never imagined that outside the newspaper office of "Zhongmei Daily", there is such a high-end configuration as a light machine gun. He and his men just fired a few shots, killed a few passers-by, and after clearing the scene, they wanted to rush in.

Unexpectedly, the light machine gun outside the newspaper office of the "Zhongmei Daily" opened fire. The traitors on the 76th were defenseless, and for a time, they were killed and wounded. Even Wu Sibao was almost injured. Seeing that there was nothing to do, Wu Sibao could only lead the traitors to leave.

Wu Sibao went back and told Ding Mochun and Li Shiqun the details. Seeing that they couldn't take it by force, they came up with a bad idea that was close to a scoundrel - since I can't touch your newspaper, but I can touch your newspaper!

The next day, I got the latest issue of the newspaper from the "Zhongmei Daily", and before it could be sold, it was looted by several big men who appeared out of thin air, or dragged away, or tore up on the spot. Anyway, there are not many newspapers that can be circulated in the market in good condition. For a while, there was a lot of uproar on the beach, and it was ridiculous.

The "Sino-American Daily" became famous all over the world.
