Chapter 827: Turning Back to the Shore
At the banquet that night, Han Lin, as the host, received the shadow of the Mei organ, Showa and Inuyangjian, they are the representatives of the Japanese side, and the Wang puppet government is Zhou Gaohai, Mei Siping, Gao Palmwu and Tao Xisheng, in addition to an acquaintance, that is, Chen Gongbo, who had contacts during the Jinling period.
"Mr. Chen, we are old friends, you came to Shanghai and didn't contact me, this is a bit unreasonable, right?" Han Lin smiled and shook hands with Chen Gongbo.
"I also came to Shanghai from Hong Kong City not long ago, there are some things that need to be dealt with, so I didn't bother my brother too early, and when the things are done, I will naturally come to disturb you." Chen Gongbo said with a smile.
To tell the truth, although Chen Gongbo supported Wang Jingwei's theory of "saving the country by curve", he was not optimistic about the negotiations with Japan, and hid in Hong Kong City and did not participate in the preparatory work of Wang's puppet government for a long time.
"Mr. Zhou, I have admired your name for a long time, and I have never had a chance to get to know you, please take more care of my club in the future." Han Lin shook hands with Zhou Gaohai and said.
"The elder brother is too polite, you and Mr. Yingzuo have a close personal relationship, he greatly admires the talent of the elder brother, and he will have to communicate often in the future." Zhou Gaohai said with a smile.
Strictly speaking, he is no stranger to Han Lin, because he has been the deputy director of the second department of the chamberlain, so he naturally knows Han Lin's identity and status, but he has been in office for too short a time, and he doesn't know Han Lin well enough, I only heard that Han Lin has a very good personal relationship with the military and political officials of the Shancheng government, including the Kong family and the Song family, and the connections are terrible, but he has no chance to contact them.
Before coming, Kagezo Zhenzhao had already told these people in advance that although Han Lin was a member of the Shancheng government, he was also his old friend, his identity was very special, he had close contacts with the diplomatic institutions of various countries, and he had a great influence in Shanghai, except for matters involving confidentiality, there was no need to be too cautious about the rest of the topics.
And tonight's contact, Kagezo Zhenzhao also has his own plans, he wants to use Han Lin's special identity to send a signal to the Shancheng government that the empire supports Chairman Wang, and the formation of a new regime is imperative, which can also bring more pressure to the Shancheng government.
Kage Zuo Zhenzhao received top-secret news that the military department had secretly started contact with the Shancheng government, and started top-secret negotiations on "Tong work" in Minato City, and he also wanted to build an auxiliary backup channel through Han Lin.
When Gao Palmwu and Tao Xisheng shook hands with Han Lin, they clearly felt that the strength of the other party's palms was different, which seemed to be a hint, but they didn't dare to rashly guess that Han Lin had an unusual relationship with Ying Zuo Zhenzhao.
In fact, at this time, Gao Palmwu already regretted his behavior, it was he who single-handedly pushed Wang Jingwei to the edge of the cliff, and played an important role in the early stage, and even played a key role.
However, in this crucial negotiation, he did not participate in the negotiation, and Tao Xisheng attended, together with Zhou Gaohai, Mei Siping, and Zhou Longqi, representing the side of Wang's puppet government.
"This Han Lin is a diplomat in Shanghai as a commissioner in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but he can have private contacts with the representatives of the Japanese side, and judging from the current situation, the Yamashiro government acquiesces in his behavior, which shows that he is far more background than we think." Tao Xisheng whispered.
"I am more familiar with him than Ling, Han Lin's diplomatic work is very good, and has established good communication relations with the consulates general of the United States, Germany, Japan, Britain and France in Shanghai, and the Yinglin Club has also become the only place for these countries to hold large-scale social activities.
"This person has a very high status in the concession area, and if he says it, even the authorities in the public concession and the French concession have to give face, as for the Japanese side, you will know from the attitude of Ying Sazhenzhao, many times, it cannot be characterized by pure black and white, after all, the Yamashiro government has not yet declared war with Japan." Gao Palmwu said.
From a stranger to a friend who can talk, it only takes a drink to get closer.
Shadow Zuozhen Zhao and several big traitors vigorously put on an attitude in front of Han Lin that the two sides had reached substantive cooperation, and talked about Chairman Wang's remarks that he was about to lead the whole country to become friendly neighbors with Japan and promote each other in the future, which seemed to show a bright future.
The door of the banquet hall was pushed open, and Wang Qian and two beautiful girls with trays walked in.
"Ladies and gentlemen, our Yinglin Club foreman Miss Wang Qian, specially come to toast and send invitations to everyone, I am scheduled to hold a grand celebration reception at the Yinglin Club on the evening of Christmas, diplomats and officials of the concession authorities of various countries, and high-level figures from all walks of life in Shanghai will gather in the club at that time, if you have time, please also enjoy the light." Han Lin said with a smile.
Wang Qian was originally born in entertainment occasions, and she was able to deal with such occasions with ease, her beauty and style were gorgeous, and she instantly became the focus of the banquet hall.
Han Lin was on the left with Gao Brown Wu and on the right was Tao Xisheng, which happened to create an opportunity.
"Looking back, the Christmas cocktail party will have a detailed discussion with Mr. Gao and Mr. Tao."
A slightly vague voice came from Tao Xisheng's ears, he didn't respond on the spot, Han Lin didn't seem to have said this, raised his wine glass and touched a glass with Chen Gongbo, who was a little uncontrollable.
Once born and twice cooked, this banquet is mainly a process of understanding, with this foundation, it will be much more convenient in the future.
After the banquet ended, Tao Xisheng and Gao Brown Wu gathered at Tao's house on Yuyuan Road.
"Han Lin clearly gave a hint, hoping that we will turn back to the shore and return to the side of the Shancheng government, what do you think should be done in this matter?" Tao Xisheng asked.
"It has been a big mistake for our brothers to follow Wang Jingwei to escape from the mountain city, but we must not make mistakes again and again, and during the time we have been in Shanghai, we have always had such thoughts, and we have been unable to contact the mountain city government. Tonight's contact just gave us a chance to disengage. Although Han Lin's identity is complicated, he is by no means from the Japanese side, and I think I am sure of this. ”
"It's just that our two families are under the close surveillance of the No. 76 spy at this time, even if we want to leave, we have to have some protection, he can do this, let alone escape, otherwise, if we run away, these spies will definitely attack our family." Gao Palmwu said.
"It's okay, don't be in a hurry, when it's time for the Christmas cocktail party, let's find a chance to talk to Han Lin, the agent of No. 76 can't enter the Yinglin Club, and there is the safest opportunity to talk." Tao Xisheng said.
