Nanjing, Jiang Zhongzheng, chairman of the Nationalist Government, was extremely satisfied with the situation in Shandong, this place is located in the north of Jiangsu as the gateway of the Nationalist Government in Nanjing, whether it falls into the hands of Yan Xishan or Feng Yuxiang is what he does not want to see, this Wu Xiaoliang has no foundation in the pass, and he can actually fight a piece of territory with his bare hands, which is really unexpected to him, originally just wanted to put him in Shandong to muddy the water a little, but he did not expect that this person unexpectedly achieved the goal that he thought was impossible.

Jiang Zhongzheng had a strong interest in Wu Xiaoliang, and said to a tall and thin man beside him:

"Brother Songpa, this little brother you recommended has brought us a lot of surprises."

The tall and thin man said expressionlessly:

"Weizhong is a man who is good at winning in adversity, and he didn't disappoint me during this trip to Shandong, but it seems a little inappropriate to hand over the errand of negotiations with the Japanese to him."

"Oh, what's wrong."

"This person in Weizhong is hard, but he is not flexible enough, and he ......"

When the tall and thin man said this, he suddenly paused, and the scene of the heart-to-heart conversation with him ten years ago flashed in front of him, bold predictions, full of enthusiasm for serving the country, like fire, so that he can still feel the scorching of the year.

"Besides, Brother Kai-shek, do you know that this Wu Weizhong asserted twelve years ago that there would be a war between China and Japan sooner or later, and his resentment towards the Japanese was especially deep in his words, and I am only worried about him...... Ahem...... cough cough cough ......"

"The Northern Expedition has been successful, Brother Songpa can rest assured that he will go to Japan to recuperate, and your illness cannot be delayed any longer."

Jiang Zhongzheng's words were sincere, seeing that the thin and tall man coughed badly, he no longer discussed the matter of Jinan with him, but he had a plan in his heart, since Wu Xiaoliang was more than loyal and upright, and the flexibility was insufficient, then send someone to check it, Zhou Longguang, director of the Asian Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, graduated from Tokyo Imperial University in Japan in his early years, and was quite pro-Japanese, and it was very suitable for him to be the deputy negotiator. Although this person is old enough and has outstanding achievements, because of the traitorous power of the Beiyang government, he is still only a major general.

He had already signed a letter of appointment, removed the code in front of Wu Xiaoliang's acting chairman of Shandong, and at the same time promoted his military rank to general of the Sixth Army, and gave the Shandong security forces the official name, the 19th Army of the National Revolutionary Army.

In Jinan, Shandong, a regiment led by Wu Xiaoliang camped outside the city of Jinan, and he did not rush into the city to seek negotiations, but waited here for other members of the provincial government who had never met.

Zhou Longguang brought the letter of appointment, so that everyone's spirits were lifted, remove the acting chairman in front of the pronoun to officially take office as the provincial chairman, just a matter of time, so in everyone's eyes this person is logical, but the next situation is different, first officially promoted Wu Xiaoliang to the general of the 6th Army of the National Revolutionary Army, and give the Shandong security force the official number, the most important thing is to allocate 10 million yuan, this is the real big deal, I don't see anyone can get such a large amount of money from the Nanjing Central Committee, The financial situation of the central government in Nanjing is not optimistic, and being able to come up with such a large amount of money is enough to show the importance attached to Shandong or to Wu Xiaoliang.

Zhou Longguang knew that Chairman Jiang was trying his best to win over Wu Xiaoliang, and this person might become a celebrity around Jiang sooner or later, and he didn't have to be unhappy, so he immediately expressed his position after seeing Wu Xiaoliang.

"Chairman Wu, I was ordered to assist you in negotiations this time, but I am not familiar with Shandong, so I still have to rely on Chairman Wu Ma Shizhan."

Wu Xiaoliangyan could not hear the implicit meaning of Zhou Longguang's words, of course he understood that Jiang would definitely not send a person to be his deputy in vain, and this person must have a certain mission, but no matter what kind of task he undertook, as long as it did not harm the interests of the country and the nation during the negotiations, he would turn a blind eye and let him do it, otherwise he would drive him back to Nanjing.

The meeting with Zhou Longguang ended in a very harmonious atmosphere, Wu Xiaoliang came to Leng Shu and He Siyuan's accommodation, due to the tension of the military tent in the military camp, the two were arranged in the same military tent, when the account was entered, the two were sitting around the stove to roast the fire, talking about the current situation in a low voice, and saw Wu Xiaoliang enter the house and quickly got up to greet him.

"I don't know that Chairman Wu is coming, and I haven't been able to welcome you from afar, and I hope to forgive me."

Leng He and the others bowed deeply, and Wu Xiaoliang hurriedly took a few steps forward, supported the two, and let them sit down by the stove again.

"Two gentlemen, despite the dangers and hardships of the road, filial piety and good feelings are inward, here I thank the two gentlemen for the 20 million people in Shandong."

As he spoke, he and the two bowed to salute, and the two of them just sat down and quickly got up to help him.

Wu Xiaoliang no longer cares about the false courtesy, and goes straight to the point: "Zhang's disaster has been in trouble for three years, and the harm is endless, and now Shandong is in ruins, and the brunt is education and civil affairs, I intend to invite the two gentlemen to join the provincial government, but I don't know what to do." ”

Leng Shu said solemnly:

"Chairman Wu is serious and contributes to the construction of Shandong, and Leng Xiao has an unshirkable responsibility."

He Siyuan also nodded in agreement.

"That's why the two of us came to Jinan ......"

"If there are two gentlemen, Xiaoliang will be relieved, Xiaoliang intends to appoint Mr. He as the director of education and Mr. Leng as the director of civil affairs...... Education is related to the future of the people of a province, and civil affairs is the cornerstone of this future, filial piety is incompetent, please two gentlemen......"

The cold wind was raging outside, the cold air penetrated into the military tent, the air turned into frost, the charcoal in the charcoal basin was booming, and the faces of the three people were red, but they didn't know whether it was due to the firelight or the cold weather.

On 29 November, the date officially agreed upon by China and Japan for talks, the Japanese side proposed to set up the venue at the Jiaoji Railway Hotel in the middle of the city, and Wu Xiaoliang lodged a solemn protest against this, because the Japanese army had long occupied the Jiaoji Railway Hotel as the headquarters of the garrison in Jinan, and where the talks would be tantamount to the Chinese side succumbing to its pressure, how could Wu Xiaoliang be capable?

Minister Qianze Fangji was resolute, proposed not to talk about the non-Jiaoji Railway Hotel, trying to intimidate and force Wu Xiaoliang to submit, in his opinion, the real power of the people, timid as a mouse, as long as the attitude is tough, the other party will inevitably comply, but this time he made a mistake, the other party's attitude was tough beyond his expectations, the negotiator Wu Xiaoliang, chairman of the Shandong Provincial Government, sent someone to send a note, the venue can be in Jinan City, but you must choose a third-party venue, otherwise you will not talk about it.

Qian Ze Fangji angrily scolded the bastards of the Chinese people, and decided to give these arrogant Chinese people a little color, and he immediately visited the commander of the Saito Brigade of the 11th Brigade in Jinan.
