Chapter 863: Not a traitor!

 “Old Qiu, what’s wrong?” Mrs. Qiu stopped her chopsticks and looked at her man.

 “Ah ah.” Mr. Qiu said “ah ah” and then “ah ah ah” again. He stood up suddenly and almost knocked the dining table to the ground.

 “What about Mozi?” Mrs. Qiu was so anxious that the dialect from her hometown came out.

“Wrong, wrong, wrong.” Mr. Qiu shook his head and beat his chest.

He looked at his mother-in-law with a worried expression and pointed to the title on the newspaper, "Look."

“It’s not like you don’t know that I’m illiterate.” Mrs. Qiu said dissatisfied.

"Zhao Yi, he..." Mr. Qiu did not read the title in the newspaper, but sighed, "He, he did a big thing yesterday. He went to assassinate Wang and fill the sea."

Mrs. Qiu was stunned, not understanding what the man meant.

However, she was still startled when she heard the word "assassination", Zhao Yi?

That traitor reporter dared to kill people?

"That Wang Chuhai?" Mrs. Qiu asked. There was a man in the family who liked to read newspapers, and she knew the name of Vice President Wang.

“Yes.” Mr. Qiu nodded.

“Didn’t you say that Wang Canhai is a traitor?” Mrs. Qiu asked in confusion, “Zhao Yi, a little traitor, went to kill the big traitor Wang Canhai?”

“Zhao Yi is not a traitor.” Mr. Qiu shook his head, “He is from Chongqing.”

“Not a traitor?” Mrs. Qiu asked again.

"Not a traitor!" Mr. Qiu nodded, as if he thought this sentence was not strong enough, so he added, "Zhao Yi is a great hero!"

There seemed to be a fire burning in his chest. For this man who had to live for a living, this fire may not be enough to give him the courage to fight, but it made him feel strength and see a glimmer of light.

Mr. Qiu took the newspaper, pointed to the words on the newspaper, and read it to his wife word for word. If there were words that were difficult to understand, he would speak to his wife in vernacular.

"It's such a tragic death." Mrs. Qiu didn't know when her eyes started to turn red. She wiped her tears and said with sobs.

 She didn't understand so many reasons, she just couldn't help but feel sad.

Especially when I thought that my family had always misunderstood Zhao Yi as a traitor and often cursed Zhao Yi behind his back, I felt even more panicked and guilty.

"Where's Sister Yun Hong? What should she do?" Mrs. Qiu sighed.

“Mrs. Zhao should have been picked up early yesterday morning.” Mr. Qiu liked to read storytelling stories. He thought about it and said, “Zhao Yi is a dead man. After he dies, the children of the family must be taken care of.”

"People are just gone." Mrs. Qiu still couldn't accept that such a big living person was just gone. Moreover, she heard in the newspaper that Zhao Yi killed a Japanese soldier, and then was shot several times, and finally died for himself. Mrs. Qiu didn't dare to think about how much courage it would take to shoot herself.

“He hasn’t seen the baby yet, so why is he dead?” Mrs. Qiu said.

Mr. Qiu glanced at his mother-in-law. From his mother-in-law's tone, it seemed as if Zhao Yi could not die until he saw the child born.

 He sighed.

What he focused on was Zhao Yi's horse-leather-wrapped body and his courageous death.

What the women in the family are concerned about is that Zhao Yi is gone like this, and he can't even see his children. The orphans and widowed mothers are so pitiful.

Mr. Qiu put down the newspaper.

 He lit a stick of incense very seriously.

Hand it respectfully on the small incense burner.

Hats down for the heroic feats of martyrdom!

 The heroic spirit is not far away, see you off!

Mrs. Qiu glanced at her husband, clasped her hands together and chanted Buddha's name.

 …

Chao Yi, a member of Chongqing, tried to assassinate "Mr. Wang", and Zhou Liang and others had to give up their plan to create a welcoming atmosphere for Wang Kehai.

On this day, the Japanese sent people to expel most of the reporters, leaving only Japanese newspapers and a few trustworthy Chinese newspapers. When Wang was leaving the ship, he took a few photos of Mr. Wang waving and thanking the welcoming crowd.

Yes, Li Cuiqun arranged for Hu Sishui to temporarily find a group of people at the price of one yuan, and pretended to be a welcoming crowd to complete the photo shoot.

Then there was a routine interview by a Japanese newspaper, and then the "grand welcome" ended in a hurry.

After landing, Wang Chuanhai boarded a car arranged by the Japanese army and was taken directly to Jiangwandong Tiyuhui Road, where he moved into a small building arranged by the Japanese.

At this moment, Cheng Qianfan is visiting Hyōtaro Imamura.

As something as big as the assassination of Wang Qianhai occurred at Qiujiang Wharf, as Imamura Hyoutarou's favorite student, he naturally couldn't remain indifferent and wanted to come to ask for advice:

In Imamura’s eyes, Kentaro Miyazaki loves learning and will ask questions when he doesn’t understand. This kind of learning attitude is very good, and to a certain extent, it satisfies Imamura’s desire to be a teacher.

“Have you finished reading it? Tell me your opinion.” Hyoutarou Imamura said.

 Cheng Qianfan put down the document in his hand and was organizing his words.

These documents are all about Wang Chuanhai. To be precise, they are articles and articles written by Wang Chuanhai in Chongqing after he publicly published pornographic videos.

Especially after the Hanoi assassination, Wang Chuanhai was "full of grief and indignation" and strongly fought back against Chang Kaishen's group's assassination. More importantly, he defended his defection.

 Among them, Wang Chuanhai once published an article "Recovering the Letter of a certain Overseas Chinese", which was extremely confusing and sophistical.

The article responded to the question of "Brother So-and-so" and made full use of it, repeating the old tune that "the war of resistance will be defeated", attacking "the so-called guerrilla warfare of the Red Party, it is just another name for rogue bandits", and threatening to report "the Red Party's taking advantage of the situation".

Wang boasts that since the Anti-Japanese War, he has "always been thinking about how the War of Resistance can last, how to win, and how to find peace."

ˆ Accused "people in Chongqing" that "except for verbal abuse, I couldn't see any rational words" for his "sexuality".

Finally, Wang Chuanhai made a worried appeal, asking die-hard elements in Chongqing to "wake up" and "show the determination and courage to fight the war and make peace."

 ‘How shameless’, Cheng Qianfan said in his heart.

At the same time, what surprised him was that among the documents that Hyōtaro Imamura showed him, there was actually a telegram between Hyōtaro Imamura and the film's Sasaki Akira.

 In the first few months of this year, Japan was relatively cold towards Wang Reclamation.

However, after the assassination of Wang Chuhai in Hanoi, because Wang Chuhai came to Hanoi in response to Japan’s call for peace, Japan held a five-phase meeting.

 After consultation with relevant provinces and ministries such as the Army, Navy, Foreign Affairs, Hung Ah Institute, etc., they decided to organize a joint team, headed by Ying Zuo Zhenzhao, the China Section Chief of the Army Staff Headquarters, to go to Hanoi to move Wang Reclamation to a safe area.

Under the arrangements of the local Japanese consulate, Yingzuo arrived in Hanoi and immediately visited Wang Chuhai's residence, and the two parties officially met.

Wang Chuhai expressed his gratitude to Ying Zuo and others for their visit. At the same time, he also believed that it was not appropriate to stay in Hanoi for a long time and was ready to leave this place and develop in Shanghai.

 He told Yingzuo Zhenzhao why he chose Shanghai as a place for development.

"Guangdong is an area that has a close relationship with Mr. Sun and myself, but it is now under the occupation of the Japanese army. Therefore, it may give the people the impression that I am pursuing peace under the protection of the Japanese army. This is inappropriate for both your country and me."

“Compared with these places, Shanghai has concessions and administrative power is still in the hands of Westerners. This is a neutral ground and quite appropriate.”

“In addition, it is worth mentioning that the Shanghai Concession is also a place where assassinations are rampant in the world. If I dare to enter this dangerous area, the people will be more considerate of the sincerity of my patriotic actions.”

 …

"Judging from Wang Qianhai's disregard of danger and arranging for people to greet him at the dock, as well as his articles and remarks." Cheng Qianfan thought for a while and said, "This person does not fully trust the empire. He is pursuing more autonomy. .”

“It was impossible to completely trust the empire.” Hyōtaro Imamura chuckled, “The empire knows Mr. Wang’s political purpose.”

Speaking, Hyōtaro Imamura couldn't help but chuckle.

 “Teacher, I don’t understand.” Cheng Qianfan said, raising the document in his hand.

What he didn’t understand was why Hyōtaro Imamura showed him these documents.

Although these documents do not involve strategic intelligence or top-secret military information, they can definitely be regarded as high-level secret information.

 Most importantly, why are you showing this to him?

“I’m showing you this in the hope that you can have a deeper understanding and understanding of Wang Qianhai.” Hyotarō Imamura said.

“Teacher, the student is stupid.” Cheng Qianfan smiled bitterly, “Please ask the teacher to help the student clear up his doubts.”

“Kentaro, if you can use your business skills at work...” Imamura Hyoutarou pointed at Kentaro Miyazaki and scolded him, but even as he spoke, he shook his head with a smile.

If he were not greedy for money, would he still be Kentaro?

 Subsequently, Imamura Hyōtaro looked calm and began to teach Miyazaki Kentaro.

In today’s Imamura small class, Counselor Imamura focused on his students’ understanding and analysis of Wang Reclamation as a senior imperial diplomat:

Wang Kehai is different from China's warlords, large and small. This person is not absolutely loyal to his direct troops, and he has never truly controlled the armed forces of even a battalion from beginning to end.

 Secondly, this person has never controlled the country’s financial power, nor has he controlled the country’s economic lifeline.

 Or, to put it bluntly, this person has neither military power nor financial resources.

The only reason why Wang Shuhai is able to achieve such an important position in China's political arena despite having no soldiers, no money, is his reputation.

 Wang Chuanhai is a founding father of the Kuomintang. He is talented in literature and eloquence and is Mr. Sun’s most trusted right-hand man.

Here I have to mention the heroic feat of this man who once risked his life to assassinate the Manchu Regent.

Such brilliant qualifications are rare among the Kuomintang.

“In addition, this person’s personal style is also perfect.” Imamura Hyoutarou said slowly, and there was no lack of appreciation for Wang in his words.

In the eyes of outsiders, Wang Chuanhai has a decent character that is almost perfect.

 He does not engage in corruption, gambling, smoking, or sexual **** with women.

“Such Wang Kaihai can be said to be a unique noble figure in the national government.” Hyoutaro Imamura said with emotion.

Cheng Qianfan smiled and told a joke. A certain Wang's follower praised Wang's character and even used the phrase "Wherever Mr. Wang goes, the air will become fresher." if.

In addition, even after Wang's public vote for Japan, although Chongqing criticized Wang's political views, or called him a traitor, or scolded him for forgetting his ancestors, there did not seem to be much criticism of Wang's character.

“Wang Kehai’s biggest, or even his only, political capital is his reputation.” Imamura Hyoutarou said solemnly.

 He looked at Kentaro Miyazaki, "Kentaro, do you still remember Cheng Qianfan's origin..."

"Cheng Qianfan's origin? Isn't he from the French Concession..." Cheng Qianfan was stunned for a moment, and then he showed a thoughtful expression, "His origin..."

After a moment, he looked at Hyōtaro Imamura and said, "Teacher, are you talking about Cheng Qianfan's family background?"

“That’s right.” Hyōtaro Imamura nodded with satisfaction when he saw Kentaro Miyazaki’s reaction was quite sensitive.

“Cheng Qianfan’s father, Cheng Wenzao, and mother, Su Zhifu, were both Kuomintang members. These two secretly coordinated the Kuomintang’s Northern Expedition in Shanghai and were later killed by Sun Chuanfang,” Cheng Qianfan said.

"His grandfather is Cheng Guzhi, who joined the Tongmenghui in his early years..." Cheng Qianfan said thoughtfully, and then his expression trembled, "Teacher, I seem to understand."

"Wang Canhai has a very important reputation. This is his political capital. At the same time, he must better maintain and make good use of his reputation." Hyoutaro Imamura looked at Kentaro Miyazaki, "Where Wang Canhai is, Cheng Qianfan’s identity as deputy chief inspector of the Central Police Station of the French Concession cannot be put on the table.”

 Cheng Qianfan skillfully refilled Hyoutaro Imamura's tea.

“Whether it is Cheng Guzhi’s status as a veteran of the Kuomintang, or Cheng Wenzao and Su Zhifu’s status as martyrs of the Kuomintang, these are bound to attract Wang Quanhai’s attention.” Imamura Hyoutaro said.

“Teacher, I understand.” Cheng Qianfan nodded and said, “Cheng Qianfan has such an identity and background, Wang Quanhai must welcome his approach.”

Hyoutaro Imamura shook his head, "Kentaro, you don't understand, your understanding is superficial."

“Cheng Qianfan’s qualifications are too low.” Hyotarō Imamura said, “Why did I bring these documents and correspondence to you?”

He looked at Kentaro Miyazaki and said, "Kentaro, I give you a task: read through, study and understand Wang Chuanhai's articles, and become familiar with Wang Chuanhai's temperament and political theory through these messages."

“Cheng Qianfan’s identity and background can only barely bring you into Wang Chuhai’s sight.” Hyotarō Imamura said, “However, to gain Wang Chuhai’s appreciation, you need to lay a solid foundation in advance.”

"Teacher, I..." Cheng Qianfan said, subconsciously trying to shirk.

He 'finally' understood Imamura Hyōtaro's intention, which allowed him to gain Wang Chuanhai's favor as Cheng Qianfan.

 He didn't want to do it.

Hyoutaro Imamura frowned.

Kentaro Miyazaki smiled and said, "Teacher, there is a saying that 'It's cold at high places'..."

Hyoutaro Imamura snorted coldly. He understood what Kentaro meant. This guy meant that if a big shot like Wang Chuanhai got too close, he would be implicated in something in the future, so it would be better not to get close.

Even though Imamura Hyōtaro was angry, he couldn't help but secretly admire Kentaro. He was indeed proficient in the art of "preserving one's own safety wisely".

However, he has a trump card -

“Kentaro, with Wang Chuanhai’s appreciation, your business will have the opportunity to expand beyond Shanghai…”
