Chapter 623: Assassin
Jiang Zhong's front sank like water, and the flash crackled and flashed in his face, which made this high-ranking leader in China a little anxious, and it was obvious that he was not used to this situation of being exposed to the public and allowing people to ask questions, but in order to keep pace with the times and win over those illusory so-called public opinions, he had to reluctantly answer all kinds of questions patiently.
"Mr. Jiang, may I ask ......" Jiang Zhongzheng pressed his right arm to signal everyone present to be quiet, and then waved his arm and made a gesture of invitation to the blonde and blue-eyed foreign reporter who had just asked a question.
The foreign reporter smiled kindly at Jiang Zhongzheng, "It is said that this meeting is very important and can decide the future of China or the entire Chinese nation, I don't know if Mr. Jiang agrees with this statement." "He speaks Chinese very authentically, with a bit of Wusong accent, I think he is a Chinese expert who has been in China for many years, Wu Xiaoliang thought.
In response to the question, Jiang Zhongzheng cleared his throat and leaned his head in front of the microphone.
"As president of the Chinese Kuomintang and chairman of the Revolutionary Military Commission of the Republic of China, the purpose of my visit to Han is to integrate all the armed forces in China that can and cannot be united, to achieve a united front, to unite with the outside world, to resist the Japanese aggressors, and to never compromise." Speaking of this, he paused, his majestic eyes glanced around as if waiting for something, and the sparse applause gradually rang out, and soon the applause came like a flood of peaks, and it sounded enthusiastically in the entire waiting hall, which lasted for a long time.
It was only at this time that a smile flashed in Jiang Zhongzheng's eyes, and it was difficult to find it if he was not careful, and when the applause gradually faded, Jiang Zhongzheng continued:
"I hereby call on all peace-loving countries in the world to sanction Japan and restore world peace, and at the same time, I would like to thank all of you for your tireless efforts to come to Wuhan and support China's unanimous efforts to resist the Japanese aggressors with concrete actions......"
The blonde-haired and blue-eyed foreign reporter asked again: "Thank you Mr. Jiang for his wonderful answer, before coming to Wuhan, many people were saying that this meeting was convened and presided over by a Chinese general surnamed Wu, please have any comment on this." β
As soon as these words were asked, some people in Jiang Zhongzheng's attachΓ© had already exclaimed involuntarily, if the reporter who asked the question was not a foreigner, I am afraid that the secret police would have entered and taken him away, and all of a sudden, the crowd of reporters who had been chaotic quieted down.
A trace of anger and embarrassment flashed on Jiang Zhongzheng's face, he didn't seem to hide his angry expression, from his obviously hurried tone, everyone present could feel the anger, and when he answered, he still used a decent diplomatic rhetoric, which seemed a little funny.
"General Wu, look, that's General Wu."
Not only who was the first to shout, everyone turned their eyes to Wu Xiaoliang, who had just arrived, and for a while, more than half of them left Jiang Zhongzheng and came to Wu Xiaoliang, which made Jiang Zhongzheng's head burst out, but he couldn't do it in public.
In the face of Wu Xiaoliang, the reporters' questions are also more tricky than the other, but this is not a problem for him, and he is very easy to answer, and he has many years of experience in the army, business, and politics, which has enabled him to calmly deal with all kinds of doubts and incomprehension.
Wu Xiaoliang still gave Jiang Zhongzheng enough face, acknowledging that Chiang was the leader of China, and emphasizing that Chiang's core position in the united front could not be shaken and could not be ignored......
When Wu Xiaoliang finally squeezed out of the surrounding crowd, he found that Jiang Zhongzheng's motorcade had long since disappeared, and it seemed that today's action to greet Jiang was self-defeating because of the reporter's trouble, and it became a blockage for him.
In the evening of the same day, Wang Zhaoming's plane, the premier of the National Government, will fly to Wuhan early tomorrow morning, Wu Xiaoliang and Zhang Xueliang once again drove to the airport to greet him, this revolutionary who had dared to assassinate the regent of the former Qing Dynasty with blood, on the way, Wu and Zhang's convoy also met Yan Xishan, who also went to the airport to meet Wang Zhaoming.
And Jiang and Wang have always been at odds, presumably Wang Zhaoming will be happy to cooperate with all parties to add to Jiang Zhongzheng's blockage.
Wu Xiaoliang is like thunder to Wang Zhaoming, today is the first time to meet, different from the impression of cowardice and sleek, Wang Zhaoming is dressed in a neat suit, tall and firm, is extremely capable, for Zhang Xueliang and Yan Xishan, I have seen Wang Zhaoming many times, but Wu Xiaoliang, who met for the first time, was secretly praised in his heart, it was really a talent, if I didn't know that this person would be China's number one traitor sooner or later, I am afraid I would have to be attracted and impressed by this person's bearing.
Wang Zhaoming shook hands with Zhang Xueliang and Yan Xishan, who he knew well, one by one, and when his eyes stayed on Wu Xiaoliang's face, he looked surprised and said excitedly: "If Zhaoming guessed well, he is the famous Wu Weizhong." β
Wu Xiaoliang laughed and stretched out his hands in a friendly manner......
Wang Zhaoming has no soldiers in his hands, and now in addition to some position in the Kuomintang, his influence on China's political situation has been minimal, and winning over this person is the first step to divide Chiang Zhongzheng's internal division; in fact, as Wu Xiaoliang expected, Wang Zhaoming responded with great enthusiasm to Wu Zhangyan and others, and at the same time, he humbly told everyone that as long as it is conducive to the domestic united front, he will do his best to cooperate with the princes.
In fact, anyone can hear that this is just to find a fig leaf for his obedient allegiance, and Wu Xiaoliang, who was harmed, sighed for a while, and was also depressed, how could he not connect the sleek politician in front of him with the dead soldier who "led the knife into a fast and lived up to the young man's head".
The Wuhan Municipal Government held a grand welcoming ceremony for Jiang Zhongzheng's arrival, and Wu Xiaoliang and Zhang Xueliang returned to the temporary station after procedurally showing their faces, but as soon as he entered the door with his front foot, he received a secret telegram from Shanghai from Shandong on his back foot.
The message was simple, only five words.
"Wang Yaqiao left Shanghai."
Wu Xiaoliang pinched the newspaper in his hand and couldn't help frowning.
Since last year, Shandong has had a brief compromise with Japan out of strategic needs, and this person has planned to assassinate Wu Xiaoliang, the leader of the Shandong faction, several times in the name of treachery, because Wu Xiaoliang's intelligence and security work is very thorough, and several operations have failed.
As a result, Wang Yaqiao became the key target of surveillance by intelligence officers in various parts of the Shandong Army, and it is very likely that this person left Shanghai and came to Wuhan again. The Republic of China where gentlemen gather righteousness
