Half an hour later, a press conference was held at Shaqiaodun Military Camp. netwww
After washing up and shaving all the stubble on his face, Xu Rui immediately transformed from a middle-aged uncle with a face full of vicissitudes to a young young man in Yingqaba. Coupled with a straight new military uniform, he looked even more heroic. When Xu Rui walked into the press conference hall with standard steps, several female reporters couldn't help but shine.
Facing questions from several Chinese and foreign reporters, Xu Rui spoke eloquently.
"Julia Show just asked me, why can Kenji Doihara, the Lawrence of the East, be manipulated in the palm of his hand? Why can he cheat all the Japanese and pass the complete equipment of a pharmaceutical factory and a coal chemical plant through Pukou Wharf? Transfer back to Dameishan? To be honest, I can’t answer these two questions.”
"Because until the answer is finally revealed, I don't know if this can be done."
"But one thing I can tell you is that justice will eventually defeat evil, and we Chinese people will eventually defeat the Japanese invaders and win national self-reliance and self-strength! Don't think that these are just empty words and clichés, because throughout the ages, countless history Historical facts have proven that this is an irrefutable truth!”
The reporters present and many commanders and soldiers in the audience applauded warmly.
Especially those students in the youth training camp, the applause was even more enthusiastic. Many students were even obsessed with Xu Rui's always enthusiastic speeches.
"Commander Xu, this is Anna, the TASS war correspondent." Another female reporter stood up and asked, "I'm curious, what conditions did the Japanese offer you in order to win over you?"
Xu Rui said: "The terms offered by the Japanese were very attractive. In addition to the military and political minister of the pseudo-reform government and the so-called commander-in-chief of the second theater, they also offered me personally a ticket of five million yen or one. A huge check of one million dollars, but the Japanese will never understand that faith is priceless!"
Anna asked again: "Speaking of faith? Commander Xu, what is your faith? **?"
"** is my ultimate belief." Xu Rui nodded and said, "But my actual belief is socialism, or nationalism. Let's put it this way, for the prosperity of the Chinese nation, I, Xu Rui, am willing to I will sacrifice everything, including my life, and if necessary, I will die for the nation without hesitation!"
The press hall once again burst into warm applause and cheers.
The question-answering session passed quickly, and the press conference entered the news release stage as usual.
Usually, the organizer of the press conference will always break some news at this time.
Xu Rui used his hands to press down, and when the hall became quiet, he continued: "Finally, I want to announce something to everyone here. Tomorrow morning, we will hold a public trial at Shaqiao Pier and pronounce the verdict of Kenji Doihara in public. The two war criminals Yoshiko Kawashima and Yoshiko Kawashima will be punished.”
"A public trial and a public verdict?"
"Trial of war criminals?"
"right here?"
"at this time?"
One stone stirs up a thousand waves.
After the press conference, Wang Husheng followed Xu Rui into the lounge next door and asked: "Old Xu, the public trial of Doihara Kenji and Kawashima Yoshiko may lead to a war of words between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, but the issue can ultimately be solved. Control, but the other thing may not be so easy to settle, right?"
Xu Ruichong pretended to be stupid and said: "Another thing, something."
Wang Husheng said angrily: "Just pretend, pretend, pretend really well."
Xu Rui snorted and said, "Old Wang, are you talking about that batch of gold?"
"This is not new. " Wang Husheng frowned and said, "In any case, this batch of gold was escorted out from the vault of the Bank of Eight by the tax police at that time. Legally speaking, this batch of gold obviously belongs to the National Government. , the Nationalist Government will definitely come to demand repayment after knowing the news, what will it do then?"
"What should I do?" Xu Rui said in amusement, "What else can I do? Just pretend to be stupid."
With a smile, Xu Rui continued: "What gold? We don't know at all."
"That's it?" Wang Husheng said, "Old Xu, you have to know that paper cannot be disrespected!"
"I didn't say we would wrap fire in paper." Xu Rui spread his hands and said, "But we really don't have gold. The National Government can't force us to create gold, right?"
Wang Husheng was furious when he heard this.
Dividing line)
Chongqing, Chairman Chiang Kai-shek's official residence.
Dai Li, director of the Secret Service of the Fuxing Society, went to Yin, Chairman of the Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek, overnight. He couldn't help but come in person because it concerned Wang Jingwei, the former executive director of the National Government!
Chairman Chiang hid in his chair and closed his eyes to rest.
Dai Li bowed his upper body slightly and reported in a low voice: "After Mei Siping returned to Chongqing, he immediately went to the Wang Mansion. In the next few days, the Wang Mansion held several meetings. Zhou Fohai, Chen Gongbo, Gao Zongwu, Tao Xisheng and others all went there many times. , persuaded Wang to leave immediately and go to Nanjing to form a new government."
Chairman Chiang frowned slightly and said, "Is the news reliable?"
"Absolutely reliable!" Dai Li nodded and asked, "Commissioner, do you want to arrest someone?"
"Arrest people? In what name?" Chairman Jiang glanced at Dai Li coldly and said, "It's going to rain and my mother wants to get married, so let him go. "
After finishing speaking, Chairman Chiang closed his eyes and stopped talking, leaving the confused Dai Li there.
Although Dai Li was shrewd and capable and good at figuring out what was going on, he still couldn't figure out Chairman Chiang's thoughts at the moment. Chairman Chiang actually didn't mind Wang Jingwei leaving.
Wang Jingwei's departure has three major benefits for Chairman Chiang Kai-shek.
At the intra-party level, Wang Jingwei's departure means that he loses a powerful opponent within the party, which is more conducive to him monopolizing power within the party.
At the domestic level, the comparison with the traitor Wang Jingwei further highlights the value of Chairman Chiang's persistence in the war of resistance. It will help him strengthen his image and control the overall military and political situation. At the same time, the domestic people will vent more resentment and anger on Wang. For The dissatisfaction between the Nationalist Government and Chairman Chiang Kai-shek will be alleviated.
At the international level, Wang Jingwei went to Nanjing to establish a separate government. Although it risked downgrading the Chongqing government to a local government, it also helped to open a negotiation channel with Japan. Wang's puppet government acted as a bridge in the middle, and the communication between the National Government and the Japanese government was It will become easier. Once the time is right, it will not be possible to join the Ningyu Confluence again.
Therefore, Chairman Chiang did not mind Wang Jingwei's departure at all, and was even happy to see it happen.
Dai Li thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out, so he had to leave Chairman Chiang's mansion with his head drooping.
But just as he reached the gate of the official residence, a car sped up and stopped under the porch. The door opened and a fat man stepped out. It was Zheng Jiemin, the deputy director of the Secret Service and Dai Li's right-hand man.
"Jiemin?" Dai Li looked at Zheng Jiemin who was coming in a hurry, and asked, "Why are you here?"
"Virgin, it's urgent. We have to meet with the old man immediately!" Zheng Jiemin said in a short sentence, "Three things. The first thing is that the Dameishan Broadcasting Station just sent out a communication, saying that tomorrow morning the Japanese who have committed numerous atrocities will be punished. Agents Kenji Doihara and Yoshiko Kawashima held a public trial, but the second incident was about that batch of gold! The third incident is the most terrifying!"
"What did you say?" Dai Li's expression immediately changed upon hearing this, and he immediately said, "Let's go with me to see the commissioner!"
At that moment, Dai Li hurried back to Chairman Chiang's study with Zheng Jiemin. Chairman Chiang heard the footsteps, opened his eyes and saw that Dai Li was leaving and returning. He frowned and said, "Yunong, why are you back again? "
Dai Li bowed slightly and said nothing, but Zheng Jiemin behind him stepped forward and said: "Commissioner, Fuxing Society Shanghai Station and Nanjing Station have just received a tip-off that Xu Rui took advantage of the Japanese government's intention to surrender him and did something What an incredible event, he actually transported a complete set of equipment from a pharmaceutical factory and a coal chemical plant back to Dameishan!"
"What did you say?!" Chairman Jiang was suddenly startled when he heard this and sat up from his chair.
Dai Li, who was standing next to him, was secretly shocked after hearing this. Is there such a thing
"A pharmaceutical factory plus a complete set of equipment for a coal chemical plant?" Chairman Jiang said, "You mean a complete set of equipment, not what, how many pieces of equipment?"
"Yes, a full set of equipment." Zheng Jiemin replied affirmatively.
Dai Li said in a deep voice: "Didn't you say it's just cotton cloth, cotton yarn and gauze? Why did it become equipment again?"
"This is Xu Rui's trick!" Zheng Jiemin said in a deep voice, "Xu Rui almost deceived the whole world. He had already secretly reached a secret deal with Sir Edwards of England, and had Complete sets of equipment from pharmaceutical factories and coal chemical plants were dismantled, wrapped in cotton yarn, disguised as bundles of cotton yarn, and stored in the Shiliupu Wharf warehouse!"
After taking a breath, Zheng Jiemin continued: "Then, through the large-scale assassination operations of Langya and the military operations of the Dameishan Independent Regiment, the Japanese army was forced to make concessions and release the cotton gauze and cotton cloth that the Japanese had purchased from Shanghai. As a result, Before this batch of cotton gauze and cotton cloth got on the ship, Xu Rui arranged the package!"
"Oh my God!" Dai Li exclaimed in shock, "What a trick, it's perfect!"
Chairman Chiang was more concerned about another issue and asked: "Edwards? Why does it sound familiar?"
Dai Li immediately replied: "Edwards is a British baron. Before the Battle of Songhu, he went to Nanjing to sell a complete set of equipment for a pharmaceutical factory and a coal chemical plant. However, after an investigation by Minister Kong of the Ministry of Finance, he found that these equipment were about to be eliminated. of old equipment, so I declined it. This is the equipment Xu Rui wanted to buy!”
"I remember, there is such a thing." Chairman Chiang said angrily, "It's so confusing. Even though these equipment are old equipment, it can eventually be built into an industry. How can we turn it away? Now it's good, these equipment are actually cheaper**, this is a complete set of equipment for a pharmaceutical factory and a coal chemical plant!" (To be continued.)
