Of course, current events are chaotic, and comfort is only temporary. The turbulent undercurrent is often hidden in the middle of the rest of the life and is unknown to others.

As early as August and September 1938, Zhou Fohai sent Mei Siping, a representative, to negotiate with Matsumoto Shigeharu, a representative of the Japanese Prime Minister Konoe, in Hong Kong. And on this condition, he supported Wang Jingwei's peace movement.

In October 1938, when Wang Jingwei met with reporters from the Haitong News Agency and Reuters, he said that at present, "the door to the armistice has not been closed." Wang Jingwei turned a blind eye to the vigorous War of Resistance and was bent on seeking peace.

On December 18, 1938, Wang Jingwei left Chongqing, and on December 19, Wang Jingwei fled to Hanoi, where Zhou Fohai and Tao Xisheng went with him. Immediately, the Nationalist Government sent Foreign Minister Yu Chonghui, who was in Hanoi, to meet Wang Jingwei, and sent Chen Bui to Hanoi to persuade Wang Jingwei to change his course, but Wang Jingwei refused.

On 19 December 1938, Japanese Foreign Minister Arita claimed that the principles of the "Nine-Power Pact" could no longer be applied unconditionally to the new pattern of East Asia and would restrict the actions of third countries in East Asia.

On December 20, 1938, Chen Gongbo flew from Chengdu to Kunming and then to Hanoi, following Wang Jingwei's treason. On the same day, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Nationalist Government of China refuted the Japanese Foreign Minister's wild remarks, saying that Japan's intention to dominate East Asia was extremely obvious.

On 22 December 1938, the Japanese Government issued the Third Konoe Statement, repeating the old tune that "Japan, Manchuria, and China should unite with the common goal of building a new order in East Asia and seek to achieve mutual goodwill, friendship, common defense, and economic cooperation."

On 23 December 1938, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Nationalist Government of China issued a statement bitterly refuting Japan's Third Konoe Statement, holding that it was purely "a deceptive rhetoric." On December 29, 1938, Guilin was heavily bombed by Japanese planes, and almost all the buildings in Guilin's urban area were blown up by the Japanese army. On the same day, Wang Ching-wei sent a telegram in Hanoi to Chiang Kai-shek and the Central Executive Committee and Supervisory Committee, urging the Nationalist Government to "exchange views with the Japanese Government with a view to restoring peace" in accordance with the three principles of "recognizing Manchukuo, jointly defending communism, and promoting economic cooperation" put forward by Konoe on 22 July.

Wang Jingwei set up his own door, and at this time he had already begun to secretly contact various types of traitors, either overt or covert, to prepare for the establishment of a puppet government. By May 1939, when the production of "Havoc in the Heavenly Palace" for the rest of his life was about to be completed, Wang Jingwei already had enough chips in his hands.

In Shanghai, No. 76, a traitor intelligence agency supported by the Japanese, has now been built by Nanzao Yunzi. Li Shiqun and Ding Mochun are also planning to do something and make a contribution to make the Japanese Taijun happy.

At this time, Wang Jingwei's "Zhonghua Daily" was about to resume publication in Shanghai, in order to gain the first momentum. However, the editors of the "China Daily" were all transferred from Hong Kong's "South China Daily" and were not familiar with Shanghai Tang. Therefore, Wang Jingwei had to recruit troops in Shanghai, recruit some literati and reporters, and preferably conquer two newspapers and periodicals that were originally sneering at Japan.

This matter was planned by the Japanese and handed over to Ding Mocun and Li Shiqun on No. 76. Li Shiqun is cunning and cunning, and it is still easy to find some traitors and literati who smell the same. Soon, Mu Shiying, Liu Naou, Lin Weiyin, and Zhang Ziping were recruited. As long as Ding Mo Estate finds one or two newspapers and periodicals that have defected and surrendered, he can make a big fuss about Wang Jingwei.

The newspaper chosen by Ding Mo Estate was Wen Wei Po.

Wen Wei Po was first published on January 25, 1938. It is known for reporting the latest war news and adhering to the anti-Japanese stance. And the newspaper that reports this kind of news is the best seller in this era. The news of the front-line war is rare, and even if ordinary people do not have much ability to resist Japan, they are still very concerned about whether the development of the war situation will endanger their own lives.

Therefore, the development of Wen Wei Po is also extremely rapid. In less than half a year, the length of newspapers and periodicals has gradually expanded from one folio at the time of its inception to four folios!

The daily circulation has increased to as many as 60,000 copies, which has surpassed the "News", which was subject to Japanese counterfeit inspection at this time, and has become the newspaper with the largest circulation in Shanghai at this time!

At the same time, the number of advertisements in Wen Wei Po has skyrocketed. Within half a year, the length of its advertising continued to increase from less than one page at the beginning of the journal to nine or even nearly ten pages; The proportion of advertising space in the newspaper space has also increased from 20 percent at the beginning of the publication to 60 percent!

Since Wen Wei Po was in the name of a British businessman, the Japanese could not ban or censor the newspaper until they had completely torn their faces with the British. Even though there was a lot of anti-Japanese news and propaganda in this newspaper.

However, success is also Xiao He is also Xiao He! British businessmen were so greedy that even though Wen Wei Po was growing rapidly, the stock price had risen thirty-six times and its employees were rarely paid in full. Most of the time, he just receives seventy or eighty percent of his salary to get by. Moreover, the editor-in-chief and editors of Wen Wei Po are Chinese, and they do not deal well with the British bosses.

As a result, Ding Mo Estate was given an opportunity. He knew that there were some things that could not be forcibly taken, so he was ready to spend 60,000 silver oceans to buy "Wen Wei Po" from a British businessman!

Unexpectedly, Ding Mo Estate did not know anything about the rules of commerce, and his bid was too high, which aroused the greed of British businessmen. If it's not 150,000, it's not sold! The angry Ding Mo Village scolded and became murderous!

On this day, he asked his general Wu Sibao to send someone to send a basket of poisonous fruits. As long as one or two people die in "Wen Wei Po", the military will naturally be unstable!

However, all those who do newspapers and periodicals and engage in news have the basic quality of being careful! Where else to find news on weekdays! The editors felt that this fruit was strange, so they didn't eat any of them. Until the English merchant took an apple from it and fed it to his pet dog.

After a few bites, the pet dog bled to death. Only then did the British businessmen become afraid. Prepare to sell "Wen Wei Po" to Ding Mo Estate! And if this deal is successful, it will be a blow to all Chinese! How can the editors who are Chinese be willing!

They would rather let Wen Wei Po stop running it than agree to it!

According to the British company law at this time, at least 51% of the shares of all British enterprises should belong to British businessmen, so when Wen Wei Po registered, 51% of the shares were assigned to the name of British businessmen, and the British businessmen issued a transfer document to the real shareholders. The company's business policy is determined by the majority shareholding.
