mixed in the war

1939 4 Month 30 Day.

Another day is International Labor Day.

After a few decades, many people may have already had a holiday.It's a pity that the Chinese still don't celebrate this festival at this time, especially in this year, it is even more unnecessary to think about it.But the Chinese are still very excited these days... On April 4, the Bao Mori Department of the Third Division of the Jidong Army Division of the Eighth Route Army Jinchaji Military Region captured the Japanese Emperor’s cousin and military police officer Akamoto, also known as Saburo Suzuki.This incident spread throughout China in just a few days, which greatly encouraged the Chinese people's enthusiasm for the war of resistance.On the other hand, the Japanese are extremely passive, but although the emperor's cousin is stupid, as a relative of the emperor, he has to save him.Emperor Hirohito even personally issued an imperial decree from Tokyo, demanding that Akamoto be rescued at all costs.For this reason, the Japanese North China Front Army even sent the famous Yoshiko Kawashima to negotiate with Bao Sen, and he did not hesitate to exchange a large amount of arms and ammunition.Although the Japanese finally achieved their goal and finally brought the members of the royal family back to the mainland safely, this face was really embarrassing.

Therefore, in order to save face, the Japanese immediately began to plan new actions: immediately establish a new national government in Nanjing, that is, Wang Jingwei's puppet national government.

……

"Is the speech ready?"

Nanjing Presidential Palace.Chen Bijun asked Zhou Fohai beside him.

"Madam, don't worry, everything is ready and there will be no problems." Zhou Fohai replied with a slight bow.

"Well." Chen Bijun twisted his fat body, "Actually, Mr. Wang can handle it even if he doesn't have a speech script. It's just that he is the leader of the country after all, so he has to look good."

"Yeah," Zhou Fohai kept nodding, "It's been so many years, and this day is finally here. Presumably. At this time, Lao Jiang in Chongqing must be itching his teeth?"

"Hmph, of course he is so angry that his teeth itch. But what's the use of being angry again? Sooner or later, he will bow his head to us."

It's okay not to mention Lao Jiang, but when Lao Jiang is mentioned, Chen Bijun's anger rises again.She really didn't have any affection for Lao Jiang.

Chen Bijun's family is a wealthy overseas Chinese, and she has been a charming lady since she was a child. Although she later joined the League and participated in revolutionary activities, her so-called revolution was just a small fight, and she didn't actually do anything at all.Even, her days in the League.Most of the time, they are chasing Wang Jingwei, a generation of beautiful men.Although Wang Jingwei didn't think much about Chen Bijun at the beginning, his hard work paid off. After Wang Jingwei failed to assassinate the Qing regent Zaifeng and was arrested, Chen Bijun took the initiative to show his love and quickly captured the other's heart.soon.The Wuchang Uprising broke out, and the Qing government was forced to release a large number of revolutionaries.Wang Jingwei is also among them.And not long after being released from prison.Chen Bijun married Wang Jingwei as he wished.

But even though they are married, Wang Jingwei and Chen Bijun's personalities are actually just the opposite.Although Wang is old, treacherous and cunning, he hides his secrets, but he looks forward and backward in his work, and is more than weak and not strong enough.therefore.He has a good temper, speaks quickly, and makes a decisive decision. Instead, Chen Bijun became Wang Jingwei's protector. Wang Jingwei encountered some political difficulties.He likes to discuss with his wife after returning home, and Chen Bijun also enjoys it and actively advises Wang.Over time, Chen Bijun had to intervene in both major and minor matters, and many of Wang Jingwei's political actions and ideas came from Chen Bijun's ideas.

Just like this time, Wang Jingwei's rebellion against Japan can almost be said to have been promoted by Chen Bijun.

After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Wang Jingwei and Chiang Kai-shek had conflicts again.Wang Jingwei insisted on negotiating peace with Japan to avoid a head-on conflict between the Chinese army and the Japanese army.Wang Jingwei's theory of traitors was opposed by the vast majority of people.Anti-Wang voices in the Kuomintang were loud.Wang Jingwei was disheartened and once wanted to quit the Kuomintang.

One day, when Chen Bijun saw Wang Jingwei coming home, his face was flushed and he was quite excited. He asked why. It turned out that when Chiang Kai-shek invited Wang Jingwei to dinner, the two had a quarrel.When Chen Bijun heard about it, he immediately said angrily: "Jiang Zhongzheng actually didn't want to resist Japan, but he would play double-faced. He cooperated with the Communist Party to resist Japan, but he was not sincere at all. What's wrong, to eliminate the Communist Party as soon as possible and reduce unnecessary casualties, isn't that the best of both worlds? You can't be willing to bow down, if you want to fight with Lao Jiang, you will die at worst."

Hearing what his wife said, Wang Jingwei also felt that it was true, so he told Chen Bijun that he had always wanted to send people to contact the Japanese first, to probe the Japanese, ask for their support, and break with Chiang Kai-shek if necessary.After Chen Bijun heard about it, he was very supportive and urged to act quickly.So, not long after, Wang Jingwei sent Mei Siping and Gao Zongwu secretly to Shanghai to contact the Japanese.

Mei and Gao lived up to Wang Jingwei's hope. After some bargaining, they signed a "secret agreement" with the Japanese.Soon, Mei Siping returned to Chongqing from Shanghai via Hong Kong and brought back the "secret agreement" signed with the Japanese.

However, when things came to an end, Wang Jingwei began to hesitate and hesitate again on whether to leave Chongqing and openly vote for Japan.At this time, it was Chen Bijun who was firm again and tried his best to get Wang Jingwei to break away from Chiang Kai-shek as soon as possible and cooperate with the Japanese. After some ideological struggle, Wang Jingwei finally took his first step to surrender to Japanese imperialism.

But why did Chen Bijun so firmly support the split between Wang Jingwei and Chiang Kai-shek?

Because she always believed that the assassination of Wang Jingwei in 1935 was done by Lao Jiang secretly.For this reason, she even went to Chiang Kai-shek's office to make a fuss, and forcibly questioned why Chiang Kai-shek wanted to kill people.She is a woman and a family member of the victim, and Lao Jiang is not easy to get angry, so he can only persuade her with good words.But in this way, Chen Bijun became more and more convinced that Lao Jiang was guilty...Of course, this is only the superficial reason.The most important thing is that Mr. Chen Bi is not reconciled to being overwhelmed by Song Meiling.In her opinion, she is no worse than Song Meiling in any aspect, and the husband she married is a hundred times more chic and suave than Song Meiling's husband, but why did Song Meiling find a husband who was a ruffian and became the first lady?

Chen Bijun has a fiery temper. When he was chasing Wang Jingwei, he barely restrained himself for a few years, and then it was completely exposed.The rival in love was just robbing her of a man, but Lao Jiang wanted her man's life, and she always believed that Lao Jiang used despicable means to take away Wang Jingwei's leadership.He has been suppressing his husband all the time, this hatred has long been full, and he will not give up when he has the opportunity... At this time, the Japanese look like a tiger swallowing thousands of miles, Lao Jiang loses again and again, No matter how you look at it, it is also the life of a bereaved dog.As a smart person, of course you have to stand on the side of the strong and the winner.

……

"Mrs. Wang, Mr. Zhou, is Mr. Wang ready? It's time for us to go."

Chen Bijun and Zhou Fohai chatted for a while, and Yingzuo Zhenzhao walked in.This time Wang Jingwei was able to come to Nanjing from Hanoi, Vietnam, it can be said that it was entirely facilitated by him...if he hadn't gone to Hanoi to persuade and threaten.Maybe Wang Jingwei will hide in Vietnam again.After all, the impact of the "Nanjing Massacre" was so bad that Wang Jingwei and others did not dare to touch it.Unfortunately, at this point, Wang Jingwei and others can no longer turn back.Coupled with his threats, there are also military killers outside who may attack at any time.Wang Jingwei and others finally had to come.After the establishment of the pseudo-national government.He will also become Wang Jingwei's top military adviser.

"Fohai, go ask and see how the fourth brother (Wang Jingwei) is getting ready." Chen Bijun stood up from his seat, intentionally or unintentionally stood in front of Yingzuo Zhenzhao, and then instructed Zhou Fohai.In her capacity, she should have made the final preparations with Wang Jingwei.But because she was worried that those who stayed outside would not be able to stop the Japanese, she had to go out herself... Anyway, this is also a big day for the establishment of the "new" National Government. Although Wang Jingwei and others are completely controlled by the Japanese.But there are still some small calculations to be made.I am still discussing with Chen Gongbo and others in the office.

"It should be almost there. I'll be right back. Madam and General Yingzuo, please wait a moment." Zhou Fohai nodded at the two of them, and immediately walked towards Wang Jingwei's office.Just now Chen Bijun's brother-in-law Chu Minyi received a report that there were some problems with the arrangements outside, and he went out temporarily, so he had to come out to help.After all, Chen Bijun can't be left alone outside, what does that look like?

"Please hurry up, the ceremony will begin soon." Kagezuo Zhenzhao bent slightly.Of course he understands the little Jiujiu of Wang Jingwei and others.To put it bluntly, I am not willing to be a puppet honestly. With their support, I want to get another piece of power that is completely my own. I even want to make a small fuss about the inaugural speech.But Nanjing is full of their people, the overall situation is under control, and it is useless for Wang Jingwei and others to plan, so they don't care at all.On the contrary, he secretly despised the actions of Wang Jingwei and others.I've come to this point, but I still want to polish my face... Really think that if you say a few nice words, it's not a surrender?The funniest thing is that this group of people originally chose April 4st to hold the ceremony, but later they learned that this day is April Fool's Day in the West, so they gave up and dragged their feet until today.

……

Under the urging of Yingzuo Zhenzhao, Wang Jingwei and others soon appeared.Escorted by a group of puppet soldiers and a group of Japanese soldiers, the group arrived at Beiping Road, east of Jiming Temple in Nanjing, the former site of the Kuomintang Examination Institute before the fall of Nanjing.Here, Wang Jingwei led all kinds of traitors from the "Central Party Headquarters", "National Government", "Executive Yuan" and "Legislative Yuan" under him to get out of the car and enter the auditorium where the ceremony was held.

"hope everything is fine."

Colorful flags fluttered outside, and the people "jumped and cheered"... But Wang Jingwei was still in a disturbed mood.Until I saw the banner of "National Government's Inauguration Ceremony in Nanjing" hanging on the rostrum in front of the auditorium, Sun Yat-sen's portrait, "Blue Sky, White Sun Party Flag" and "Blue Sky, White Sun, Red National Flag" were hung below. The congratulatory couplets sent by various groups" and "celebrities"...and those people who saw him coming and stood up and applauded, his heart finally settled down a little.

"Don't worry, fourth brother, everything is ready. You just have to finish reading the manuscript." Chen Bijun held Wang Jingwei's arm, felt his husband's muscles tense, and whispered relief.

"Just a little nervous, don't worry." Wang Jingwei smiled and patted his wife's hand.But seeing his wife's godson, Lin Bosheng, the appointed deputy director of the Propaganda Department, stepped onto the podium, his arms tensed again.But Lin Bosheng didn't know his godfather's mood at this time. He was very excited because he would soon be the prince of the new government. Although he did it, he was also the prince, right?

"Everyone, the inauguration ceremony of the National Government is still underway. Everyone please stand up and welcome our respected Chairman Wang Zhaoming to take the oath of office! Music, start—"

Lin Bosheng proudly took the lead in clapping his hands. Immediately afterwards, everyone in the auditorium stood up with thunderous applause. Wang Jingwei stood up with a smile and walked towards the podium.And at this time, the music sounded:

"A mighty river has wide waves,

The wind blows the fragrance of rice flowers on both sides of the bank..." (to be continued...)
