Chapter 109 A New Beginning
Wu Ming was not an arrogant person. Under Zheng Pingru's persuasion, he decided to systematically and comprehensively collect information about the Nanjing Massacre and extend it to enable China to avoid such an awkward ending after the war. However, he also knew his own weight. Although he was considered to have been admitted to higher education, he was a layman in history and thoughts and philosophy. He just took advantage of the prophet and occasionally said a few opinions from later generations.
Know the truth and know the reason. Why is this happening in China? You have to find faults from the historical origins and humanistic thoughts. Wu Ming still knows this. He would not think that just by his own words, people can change their minds. After all, changing people's minds is more difficult than killing a hundred people.
"Why are you suddenly interested in history?" Dorothy pointed to the book Wu Ming placed on the table and asked strangely: "I can't put down the scrolls, and I even bring them to eat."
"Oh, I was impulsive." Wu Ming sighed, "If I regret it now, I am afraid that people will say that I have no perseverance and don't look like a man, so I have to bite the bullet and continue to do it."
"My father is very knowledgeable about history. If you have time, you can ask him for advice." Dorothy said with a smile: "Also, this is some information you asked me to get. I am trying to find other solutions."
Wu Ming nodded gratefully and reminded: "Be careful and don't let the Japanese know. If you know where the information is? And it's not convenient to get it, just tell me."
"I know." Dorothy's expression became very serious, pointing to a document bag and said: "As a reporter, it is a duty to report the facts. These are photos published in Japanese newspapers that drove the Chinese people together and shot them, piles of corpses waiting to be destroyed by the river, and the killing competitions between Japanese soldiers, and even reporters' comments on the horrifying massacre of the Japanese. Obviously, before international public opinion intervened, the first few days of the massacre made the Japanese government extremely proud. Later, after the Panai ship sank and the massacre of Nanjing citizens was condemned internationally, the Japanese government quickly tried to cover up what it did in the military."
"I hope your nerves are strong enough." Wu Ming pressed his hand on the file bag and said in a heavy tone: "This is just the tip of the iceberg. As you investigate further, you may become more and more shocked and even mentally collapsed."
Dorothy was silent for a while. She smiled faintly, "I was contacting three American foreign journalists in Nanjing at that time. During the massacre, they stayed in Nanjing. They not only wrote reports, but were published in prominent positions by the most prestigious American newspapers, but also participated in the International Security Zone Committee to save lives. The atrocities in Nanjing forced them to break away from their normal role as neutral observers and become official participants in this war. As a reporter and a conscientious American, I am excited about your plan. Only in the depths of this war can I truly feel the madness and tyranny of the Japanese. I hope what I did can alert the Americans, rather than burying their heads in the sand like an ostrich, and think that they are safe. As a big country, the United States should take on its own responsibilities more bravely. HTN"
"The appeasement of Britain and France has fulfilled Germany, but it has tasted the evil consequences it has grown." Wu Ming sneered, "You Americans' compromise and concessions to the Japanese, hehe. God knows what they will get? The Japanese are not a nation that can repay gratitude."
"People always realize after mistakes happen, which is why there is a review." Dorothy said with concern: "You know, the US system is not the president who has the final say. In major events like war, he must follow the public opinion and require the authorization of the House of Representatives. In other words, the American people are angry. Only when the House of Representatives is angry will the United States join the war, but this is to exchange for land with the price of blood."
"The price you should pay is always paid." Wu Ming picked up the teacup and drank a sip of water, "Let's just do our best and leave our will!"
"Let God make arrangements!" Dorothy said helplessly: "There are some small suggestions in the file bag. If you have the ability, I hope you can try it."
"I understand. Thank you very much." Wu Ming raised his teacup and expressed his gratitude.
"After abilities? I think it's a whimsical idea." Han Han shook his head vigorously with Dorothy's suggestion. "Go to Japan, are you kidding?"
Wu Ming looked through the history book with interest, and replied indifferently: "Why is it kidding? I think this proposal is good, and Japan is not unable to go and take a look."
"I forgot that you can speak Japanese." Han Han frowned, "But, you might be too risky, right?"
"Adventure? I can't read it." Wu Ming put down the book in his hand, "How can Japan be on high alert? If you get there, you will be safe."
"That's it." Han Han shook his head, "It's okay if you just steal something, but you're afraid that you will be greedy and have to make some big noise. Besides, how can you get the things back?"
"I need a mini camera, and the data can be filmed, so it's easy to hide." Wu Ming already had his own initial idea, "Of course this is also a preliminary idea, and there are many details I'm still considering."
"It's a pity that I can't go with you." Han Han saw that Wu Ming was very determined and said with regret: "If I go, I will only cause trouble for you. Zheng Pingru can speak Japanese, maybe he can help you?"
Wu Ming smiled slightly, "If you want to go with me, you have to see her abilities. Let's wait until the second anniversary of the Nanjing Massacre!"
"Do you really want to pretend to be Japanese with her to participate in the Japanese officers' club activities?" Han Han was surprised, "I thought you were just."
"I have asked Chen Mo to prepare a piece for me. Of course, I haven't told him the specific action yet." Wu Ming gently tapped the table with his finger, "I plan to go to Suzhou or other places first, and then enter Hongkou District, Shanghai after changing clothes."
"I'm afraid there will be a time conflict with Gao Zongwu." Han Han said with concern: "The negotiations on the adjustment of the new Japanese-branch relationship have been basically completed, and the signing ceremony is expected to be held in December. At that time, Gao Zongwu will run away!"
"Whoever catches up is the one!" Wu Ming was very relaxed, "Don't regard yourself as a god. You can't do it without us?"
"That's true." Han Han smiled, "But you can take action and you will be more confident."
As December 13 approached, Wu Ming and Zheng Pingru were making full preparations. News came from Chen Mo that Wu Ming asked him to prepare all the items he had prepared and had been secretly transported to the contact point in Suzhou, waiting for Wu Ming to pick them up. Zheng Pingru's social activities also made great progress, and she even got invitations, which made Wu Ming more confident.
"Hayi!" Zheng Pingru was wearing a well-fitting suit and practicing meticulously in her bedroom. Although her Japanese language was fine, she grew up in China, which was quite different from the behavior of Japanese women. Since Wu Ming told her about her general plan, she began training every day. Fortunately, her mother is Japanese and she has seen many Japanese women in daily social activities, so she looks a bit like learning.
"KaKaKa", wearing small wooden clogs, taking small steps, and having to bow slightly, is really tiring. But Zheng Pingru was still in a state of interest and repeated over and over again.
On No. 76, Hu Junhe was looking at the tracking report of Zheng Pingru a few days ago. Everything was normal. Zheng Pingru did not deliberately approach Ding Mo as they imagined. Even after Ding Mo's two initiatives, he also made excuses to refuse lukewarmly. Now Ding Mo seems to have begun to decline in enthusiasm for Zheng Pingru. This pervert is now playing with the female spy Niu Meibo, the former "top scholar" in the social circle in Shanghai.
Regarding these, Hu Junhe believed that as long as there was a long time, if Zheng Ping really had problems, it would be exposed sooner or later. However, Ding Mo did not give them the so-called Li Shiqun people too long. With the external relaxation, Ding Mo quickly began to promote his confidants and attack Li Shiqun's power. The kicks out, the empty-handed, and the demoted ones would be demoted. For a moment, those who follow me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish.
Moreover, Ding Mo is an extremely revengeful and narrow-minded guy. Although Hu Junhe and others flatter and obey the rules, they did not gain Ding Mo's trust. They were just a little softer with their means and there was no real power. If you want to stay at No. 76, just be an idle first.
As a result, Hu Junhe wanted to secretly send someone to follow Zheng Pingru, so it was a little difficult. There was no airtight wall in the world. Who knew if the news would leak out? Will his original subordinates expose this matter to Ding Mo and sue him for acts without authorization and deceiving his superiors? Ding Moke was worried that he would not be able to catch his handle to deal with him?
