Zhougaohai Temporary Mansion.

His former home was at No. 8 Xiliuwan in Jinling City, and he is currently undergoing major renovations, and it is estimated that he will not be able to move in until the end of May.

Mrs. Zhou looked at Han Lin curiously, he was a young man in his thirties, he looked very elegant, calm and modest, wearing the most common Mao suit, he couldn't see the arrogance of the young man after gaining power, and his speech and demeanor were mature and sophisticated.

She likes Han Lin's wife Lu Manyin very much, she herself has received a new education, her father used to be the chief secretary of the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce, the family is very wealthy, and she is naturally willing to associate with Miss Lu from a famous business family in Shanghai.

Zhou Gaohai is greedy for money, Mrs. Zhou is even more greedy for money, to deal with these two people, Han Lin's method is simple and effective, directly a big red envelope of 10,000 US dollars!

In the study, the two sat opposite each other and drank tea.

"This time, I would like to thank the Minister for coming to cut the ribbon on my small shop. There are a lot of guests here today, and I am a little neglectful of the minister's hospitality, so please don't be surprised and come here today to apologize. Han Lin said with a smile.

In Zhou Gaohai, where Wang's puppet government is proud, it is not easy to persuade at this time, but some words still need to be clicked, the window paper is not pierced or broken, and the rebellion is also realized from repeated contacts, and this traitor can play a very key role in his future work in the occupied area.

"It's just a trivial matter, it's boring to talk too much, today is the opening of your store, so many important guests came, and I am not unfamiliar with the world, how can I blame it? If you need help with anything in the future, just come to me, let's just talk about personal relationships. Zhou Gaohai said.

"Minister, the formation of a new government this time has not gone as smoothly as expected, right?" Han Lin asked.

It's like a chess game, you're playing chess, I'm playing chess, each other is each other's pawns, you want to prepare for the future through me, but I also want to complete my work through you, let's register each other first!

"I can't say that, I don't treat my brother as an outsider, tell you a secret, don't leak it, the Japanese side has decided to send the emperor's envoy to Jinling to congratulate the formation of the new government, this time the standard is very high, I can't help but say that the Japanese side has given great sincerity." Zhou Kuhai said a little proudly.

The Japanese Government informed the Wang puppet government that it would send former Prime Minister Nobuyuki Abe as a special envoy to Jinling on 25 May to congratulate the establishment of the new government.

"I know, Nobuyuki Abe, the former prime minister of Japan, came to congratulate this is not the point, the point is that Japan does not plan to establish ambassadorial-level relations with the new government at this stage, which means that they will not publicly admit it for the time being, and the new government will establish diplomatic relations with Japan on behalf of the whole of China, which is the core issue." Han Lin said with a slight smile.

Han Lin also knew that Zhou Hai did not lie about this matter, this time it was indeed Japan that wanted to send Abe Nobuyuki to comfort Wang's puppet government, and when Japan publicly admitted Wang's puppet government, there was also a famous Tianma train explosion.

It's really special, Zhou Gaohai couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, he was still mysteriously like he had leaked a big secret, but he didn't expect that the Japanese wouldn't even hide such a major matter from Han Lin, and in turn, let our new government keep it secret and keep your grandma's legs secret!

"Brother, this means something!" Zhou Gaohai said.

"I have this shallow knowledge, how dare I make an axe in front of the minister, I don't mean to offend, if according to your identity in the Shancheng government, it is a staff member of the commission, a central political official, knowledgeable and insightful, I say it casually, you don't take it too seriously." Han Lin said.

To say that Zhou Gaohai is incapable, it is nonsense, to be able to enter the second division of President Jiang's chamber as the deputy director, this is the level of the staff, and he has a great say in national affairs, and this person has also served as the propaganda minister of the Executive Yuan of the Shancheng government, which is also a very important position, in charge of the country's propaganda orientation and mouthpiece, how can ordinary people hold it?

"Don't be too modest, the fact that President Jiang was selected to enter the second division of the chamber as the head of the international intelligence team shows that the brother's ability is outstanding. It is not easy to work in the attendant room, and to be able to achieve the position of team leader in the attendant room is definitely called the best among people! ”

"Besides, this is my house, and there are only two of us in the study, and the words don't pass on to the six ears, this is pure friend chat, but it doesn't hurt to say it, you don't have to care too much about what you say right or wrong." Zhou Gaohai said with a smile.

"The reason why the Japanese refused to establish diplomatic relations with the new government is nothing more than two reasons, and the combination is one reason, that is, to end the war through negotiation."

"First of all, the value of the Yamashiro government to Japan is higher than that of the new government, and to tell the truth, although the new government has been successfully formed, it is basically the same as an empty shelf, without its own army as a support, and it is not a faction with many members, and none of the local warlords in the national control area can be seen."

"For the Japanese, although the Yamashiro government has been compressed to the southwest, it has millions of troops, its own economic and industrial base, and more importantly, Japan's own situation does not allow them to launch another large-scale offensive to completely eliminate the Yamashiro government, and Japan itself will not be able to hold on until this battle is over."

"According to the information I have received, the Japanese army is going to attack in the direction of Yamashiro again, it is still local pressure, continuous bombing, and it has not collapsed the Yamashiro government, since relying on force cannot achieve the goal, it can only be resolved through negotiations, and the minister may also know that the Japanese have been in secret contact with the Yamashiro government." Han Lin said.

"I admit it, my brother does have a point in saying that." Zhou Gaohai said.

Han Lin's words are indeed very unpleasant, but the unpleasant words are often the reality, if the other party hypocritically does not tell the truth and compliments him vigorously, then there is no need to talk about it.

He didn't want to deny these things, and he knew that Japan and the Yamashiro government had been secretly negotiating, which almost made it impossible for the new government to be formed.

"The second important reason is that with the outbreak of World War II, the international situation has become complicated, and the Japanese have always had the ambition to dominate Asia, seeking not only to occupy China, but also to Southeast Asia, which is ultimately determined by Japan's own shortcomings."

"An island country, although it has completed the first industrial revolution, but the resources are extremely scarce, everything depends on international trade, especially the two strategic resources needed for the war, steel and oil, the minister must also know that Japan's oil imports mainly depend on the United States, as well as the colonies of Britain and the Netherlands."

"European and American countries secretly indulged in supporting Japan's war in China, in order to want a war between Japan and the Soviet Union, that is, the northward strategy, but Japan obviously did not want a full-scale war with the Soviet Union, and China did not have the oil that Japan needed, and the quality of iron ore was not high, and its own problems were not solved."

"If there is no war between Japan and the Soviet Union, European and American countries cannot sit idly by and watch their interests in China suffer, Japan may be subject to economic sanctions, and they will not be willing to let the fate of their country be in the hands of others, so there is still a strategy, that is, to go south, to compete for the colonies of Britain, the United States and the Netherlands in Southeast Asia, and obtain much-needed oil and steel."

"European and American countries, mainly the United States, are the most powerful countries, economic development and industrial capacity, not Japan can compare, in the face of such a strong enemy, this requires Japan to solve the war against China as soon as possible, go all out to deal with it, they can not publicly recognize the new government during this period, in order to be able to negotiate smoothly with the Yamashiro government." Han Lin said.

"Listening to your words is better than reading a book for ten years, my brother's insights are very incisive, I also have a feeling of being sudden, what the future development will be, we are unpredictable, and my brother must often come to the house to sit in the future." Zhou Gaohai said with a smile.
