"Teacher, you mean Chongqing?" Cheng Qianfan asked with a slightly changed expression.
"Do you know about the old story of the merger of Ning and Han?" Imamura Heitaro nodded and said.
"Students know that in 1939, Wang Tianhai's Wuhan National Government and Chiang Kai-shek's Nanjing National Government merged, hence the name Ninghan Merger," Cheng Qianfan said, with shock in his eyes. "Teacher, what you mean is that Chiang Kai-shek's Chongqing regime may merge with Wang Tianhai's regime again?"
"Why not?" Imamura Heitaro asked with a smile.
"But, but, Chongqing has always held high the banner of opposing the empire. Chiang Kai-shek even directly ordered the Chongqing Nationalist Party to expel Wang Tianhai from the party." Cheng Qianfan said, "And under the influence and teachings of my teacher, I have done a lot of research on the Nationalist Party and Wang Tianhai. The conflict of interests between Chiang Kai-shek and Wang Tianhai is extremely deep. The support of the empire for Wang Tianhai has made it impossible for Chiang Kai-shek to..."
As he spoke, Cheng Qianfan's voice became weaker and weaker, revealing a thoughtful look.
……
"You understand now." Imamura Heitaro nodded with satisfaction. "The fact that the Empire did not immediately recognize Wang's reclamation regime is an effort to win over Chiang Kai-shek's regime."
Cheng Qianfan nodded deeply, and asked cautiously, "So, the Empire has already made secret contact with Chongqing?"
"The Empire has never stopped its contacts with Chongqing." Imamura Heitaro had nothing to say to his trusted student. "At present, Wang's capital has returned to Nanjing, which in itself is a kind of pressure on Chongqing. We have been slow to publicly recognize Wang's Nanjing regime, which is also giving Chongqing the last chance. They also understand our intentions."
"I'm afraid that even if the empire is willing to give Chongqing a chance, it will not be easy to facilitate the merger of Chiang Kai-shek's regime and Wang Tianhai's regime." Cheng Qianfan said with a serious expression.
"That's true." Imamura Heitaro nodded. "The two sides have had preliminary contact in Hong Kong a few days ago. Chongqing does not agree with the conditions proposed by the Empire."
He shook his head and said, "However, negotiation is bound to be a long bargaining process."
……
"Teacher, does Wang Tianhai know that the Empire is negotiating with Chongqing?" Cheng Qianfan asked in a low voice.
"So what if they know, so what if they don't know?" Imamura Heitaro sneered, then he took a sip of tea and said, "Of course, the Empire has kept this matter secret so far, and the Wang family probably doesn't know about it yet."
He looked at Miyazaki Kentaro and said, "Kentaro, this matter happened in this house and cannot be spread outside."
"Teacher, don't worry. Kentaro knows the importance of this matter." He quickly stated, "However, the Empire has been dragging its feet in not publicly recognizing Wang's reclamation regime. Over time, the Wang family will inevitably have doubts and speculations."
"That's why the empire arranged for Mr. Yokoyama and me to come to Nanjing to contact Wang's reclamation regime in order to reassure Wang," said Imamura Heitaro.
"Teacher, I will report to Chu Mingyu after I leave." Cheng Qianfan said, "Please give me some advice on how to respond to Chu Mingyu."
"Just tell me the truth." Imamura Heitaro smiled slightly, "Personally, I am still positive about the Empire recognizing Wang's reclamation regime as soon as possible."
"Student understands." Cheng Qianfan showed a sly smile on his face and nodded.
……
"Sakamoto-kun, please stay. I'll host you in two days and we'll have a good gathering." Cheng Qianfan said with a smile, "It'll be here by the Qinhuai River. I'll introduce the two friends to Sakamoto-kun then."
As he shook hands with Sakamoto Ryouno, he whispered, "Chu Mingyu has high expectations of me, so I have to do something to maintain some rapport."
"No problem." Sakamoto Ryouno nodded. He knew the importance of his friend's cover identity.
Watching Miyazaki Kentaro get into the car and leave, Sakamoto Yosano smiled and shook his head. His good friend had actually been able to get in-depth contact with the Wang Tianhai regime as a Chinese. No, to be precise, he had successfully penetrated into the Wang Tianhai regime and even became a close confidant of the Vice Premier of the Executive Yuan and Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Wang Tianhai regime.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he really wouldn't have believed it.
The more Sakamoto Ryouno thought about it, the more interesting it seemed to him. When the war was over in the future, he would present Miyazaki's stories to readers in the form of a novel, which would surely surprise many people.
……
"Haozi, let's go to Confucius Temple." Cheng Qianfan said to Haozi who was driving, "The secretary general likes to eat the eight-treasure chicken porridge at Confucius Temple."
"Yes, Brother Fan."
Cheng Qianfan was sitting in the back seat, resting his eyes.
It covered his eyes, and temporarily concealed the shock and indignation in his heart.
After the establishment of the Wang Puppet Regime, the Japanese invaders supported the Wang Puppet traitors to stabilize the occupied areas, shake the fighting spirit of the military and civilians across the country, and divide and win over the surrender factions. This has brought great negative impact on the national anti-Japanese war situation.
At the same time, the Japanese army launched a new round of large-scale mopping-up operations in our party’s anti-Japanese base areas in the occupied areas.
At the same time, the front line in northern Hubei is ready to launch a new round of attacks on northern Hubei, Yichang and Chongqing at any time. Its purpose is to open up the passage in northern Hubei, advance into Chongqing, and force the Chongqing government to surrender.
It can be said that the national anti-Japanese war situation was unprecedentedly severe. Under such circumstances, Chongqing was actually secretly negotiating peace with Japan!
It is conceivable that if Chongqing were to succumb to the temptation of the Japanese and really choose to merge with Wang's regime and have another "Ninghan merger", it would be a near-devastating blow to the national anti-Japanese situation. It can even be said that without the whole country knowing, the Chinese nation is already in a very dangerous situation.
This information is too important and too crucial.
……
Cheng Qianfan was extremely anxious and had to send the information out as soon as possible, report to Comrade "Farmer" and the Yanzhou headquarters, and issue a warning.
Along the way, Cheng Qianfan was digesting and pondering this shocking information.
Heitaro Imamura warned him not to disclose the matter.
The reason is very simple. It was Japan's wishful thinking to induce Chongqing to surrender and promote the second "Ninghan Merger". The Wang Tianhai regime was unaware of this.
In other words, the Japanese side was also very clear that the Wang Tianhai regime must be fundamentally opposed to the so-called second "Ninghan merger".
There was no other reason. Wang Tianhai was unwilling to be under Chiang Kai-shek. Wang Tianhai, who always regarded himself as the only successor of Mr. Sun, would never agree to be under Chiang Kai-shek again. And the traitors, big and small, who followed Wang Tianhai in the so-called "peace movement" would not agree to hand over the rights they had won with great difficulty by selling out their country and share them with Chongqing.
In fact, including Wang Tianhai himself, the "low-key club" around him, and other traitors, big and small, were originally frustrated politicians in the former National Government. These people valued the power of the puppet regime supported by the Japanese more than their lives. How could they be willing to go back to the past?
Compared with Chongqing, which has people with guns, the Wang regime is essentially a hollow puppet regime. Once "Ningyu merges", it is conceivable that Chongqing's weight and voice in the "new regime" will far exceed theirs.
These traitors, big and small, of the Wang Puppet Regime were a group of people who sold out their country and nation and fawned on the invaders in order to seek personal gain. They would not give up the benefits they had obtained.
The Wang regime was naturally opposed to the "Ningyu merger".
Cheng Qianfan lit a cigarette and took a light puff. The cigarette sparkled with starlight, and his eyes also sparkled.
