"The Japanese side has publicly expressed support for the upcoming Wang Puppet regime." Cheng Qianfan said.
According to the information he learned from Hitaro Imamura, at the beginning of the month, the Hikaru Academy meeting in Japan, which specializes in handling Chinese affairs, had already passed the so-called "Basic Provisions on Matters Established by Related Matters Established with the Central Government."
This so-called "central regime" refers to the soon-to-be-established Wang Puppet regime.
This key provision is: the establishment of the central government must comply with the matters stipulated in the "Agreement on the Adjustment of the New Relations of the Daily Branch", as well as the "Relevant Regulations on Establishing the Work of the Central Government" decided by the Xingya Academy in December 14th and at the end of last year.
"I really didn't expect that Wang Baihai, who was so generous and determined back then, would become such a traitor." Lu Dazhang shook his head and said, "And he is the most shameless traitor."
He and Lao Huang have learned through Comrade "Flame" that the general situation of the Wang puppet regime reaching a package of treason for treason and the Japanese.
The damage caused by the Wang puppet regime to China's national sovereignty and independence is far greater than the infamous "Twenty-One" in 1915.
It is said that according to this treason treaty, China was not only placed in Japan's vassal state, but also laid the groundwork for the splitting of China through measures such as Manchuria independence, Mongolia and Xinjiang semi-independence, North China autonomy, control of central China, and infiltration of South China.
Wang Baihai, wearing the banner of "peaceful saving the country", accepted these outrageous terms of treason in exchange for the so-called "central regime". His traitor looked obvious and the crime of treason was unquestionable.
...
"Before, Wang Keming and Liang Hongzhi have publicly expressed their support for Wang Baihai's puppet regime." Cheng Qianfan said, "According to the public statements of the Japanese government, the puppet regime of Wang is basically determined to be established in Nanjing in the first half of the year. Then this so-called 'tripartite talks' should be the final negotiation on some details."
What he mentioned was the public statement of the "Japanese government" referring to the public statement of the Japanese government in early this month, affirming Wang Jingwei's preparation for the establishment of a new government, and expressing his full efforts to support and assist his establishment and development.
This was also interpreted by all parties as the Japanese government clearly supported the establishment of the Wang Puppet regime and accelerated the pace of the establishment of the so-called central regime by Wang Baihai.
Cheng Qianfan visited Chu Mingyu before and mentioned that the Japanese government publicly stated its support for the new regime. Chu Mingyu was quite excited, saying that all comrades were excited by the statements of Japanese friendly countries.
"To put it bluntly, it is to fight for power and share pork." Old Huang chewed peanuts and said disdainfully, "The Japanese puppet son regime, throwing out a few bones, and these dog sons are joking with joy."
Cheng Qianfan and Lu Dazhang both laughed, but that's what it means. Lao Huang's metaphor seems vulgar but is just right.
...
"Can you confirm where this talks are going now?" Lu Dazhang asked.
"It's impossible to confirm." Cheng Qianfan shook his head, "Whether it is the Japanese or Wang Puppet, they attach great importance to the confidentiality of this talk."
He said to the two, "Especially considering that Wang Baihai was almost assassinated in Nanjing last time, Wang is now like a frightened bird, and is extremely careful and cautious about his own safety."
"The last tripartite talks were held in Nanjing, which was Liang Hongzhi's territory." Lao Huang said, "Will you take care of Wang Keming's face this time and choose to hold this so-called tripartite talks in the north?"
Cheng Qianfan and Lu Dazhang both saw each other. Both of them felt that Lao Huang was quite reasonable. This possibility not only exists, but also has a great possibility.
Lao Huang is worthy of being the first "Flying Fish" comrade in the Special Science and Technology Information Department.
"It's very likely." Cheng Qianfan nodded and said.
"I also think it's more likely." Lu Dazhang said.
"Wang Kemin's traitor regime mainly governs the occupied areas of Hebei, Shandong, Jin and Henan provinces, as well as the three cities of Peiping, Tianjin and Qingdao." Cheng Qianfan said in a deep thought.
"Beiping, Tianjin, and Qingdao, these three big cities." Lu Dazhang said, "There is the most likely to choose from these three cities."
"Peking seems to be the most likely, but in my opinion, the possibility is the least possible." Lao Huang said.
"From the perspective of the Japanese, which city do you think the Japanese would choose?" Lao Huang asked Cheng Qianfan.
Cheng Qianfan thought about it and wanted to express his answer to his choice. He heard Lao Huang smile and say, "In this way, let's tell our answer together."
...
"Qingdao, Peiping, Tianjin." Dai Chunfeng gently tapped the table with a serious expression, "These three places may be chosen by the Japanese as the venue for the three-party talks between Wang Keming, Liang Hongzhi and Wang Baihai."
As he said that, he looked at Yu Ping'an, Qi Wu, Sheng Shuyu and others who attended the meeting, "Everyone can express their opinions."
Yu Ping'an, Qi Wu, Sheng Shuyu and others knew that Dai Chunfeng was inclined to think that the Japanese were most likely to choose Qingdao.
Now, what they have to do is to use Qingdao as the hypothetical target location to find out more reasons why the Japanese chose Qingdao, and use this to improve and verify the possibility of this guess.
"I also think Qingdao is the most likely." Yu Ping'an nodded and said.
As he spoke, Yu Ping'an talked about an important reason why he thought the Japanese chose "Qingdao".
That is Zheng Zhi factor.
In September last year, the first so-called "Big Three" talks were held in Nanjing, controlled by the Japanese army in Central China.
Of course, in some publicity, this can be regarded as Liang Hongzhi's territory.
Now, to appease the Japanese army in North China and Wang Keming's traitor group, the meeting led by the Wang Puppet Group to organize the central government to be held in Qingdao, where Wang Keming is a relatively easy-to-accept plan for all parties.
"In terms of publicity, the Japanese are also more likely to choose Qingdao." Qi Wu said.
He was considering publicity factors.
Qingdao was occupied by Japan for the second time, and Japan immigrated a large number of people in Qingdao, trying its best to expand its economic power.
In addition, Qingdao's urban landscape has always been praised by the world and has been limited in damage caused by war.
Therefore, holding a meeting in the relatively prosperous Qingdao can show off Japan's governance capabilities to the world, especially foreign journalists, and apply makeup on their aggressive behavior.
"The Japanese are despicable and shameless in their bones, and regard all kinds of international conventions as nothing. However, in fact, while they are inferior, they also desire to be recognized by international civilized society, especially the friendly powers." Qi Wu said, "Qingdao is a very suitable choice."
"From the perspective of transportation geography, Qingdao is also very suitable." Sheng Shuyu thought.
He believes that it is considered from geographical factors.
The transportation from Qingdao to Nanjing and Peking is very convenient, and the location is moderate, making it easy to communicate with people attending the meeting.
Therefore, it is very likely that the Japanese chose Qingdao as the meeting place for the three major puppet traitors under their command.
"Then let's assume that this location is Qingdao." Dai Chunfeng nodded. The 'argument' listed by several people was exactly what he was considering.
"If the enemy really chose Qingdao as the meeting place, they would definitely take action in advance. In this case, as long as they carefully investigate, they could find some clues." Dai Chunfeng said.
He looked at Qi Wu and said, "Send a report to Ke Zhijiang, asking him to investigate the matter secretly and verify whether the Japanese have any abnormal actions in Qingdao."
"Yes!" Qi Wu said.
Ke Zhijiang is the stationmaster of Qingdao Station in North China, and is Dai Chunfeng's favorite general.
"In addition, the direction of Peking and Tianjin should not be slackened." Dai Chunfeng said in a deep voice, "It is not ruled out that the Japanese do the opposite and deliberately do not choose Qingdao."
"If according to this logic, the least likely choice is Peiping, then it will be in Peiping?" Sheng Shuyu fell into deep thought.
"So, what we have to do is to investigate and analyze more carefully," said Qi Wu. "And then by comparing the clues and using the two, you can find the truth."

study.
There are already several extinguished cigarette butts in the ashtray on the desk.
Previously, the three discussed where the enemy would choose to hold the so-called "Big Three" meeting.
All three people tend to believe that the Japanese would choose Qingdao as the venue for this "tripartite talks".
Lao Huang’s reason is that the Japanese control over Qingdao is the most important city in the north.
The so-called "three giants" talks by Wang Baihai, Liang Hongzhi, and Wang Keming were actually secret meetings of three puppets. Although the Japanese agreed and even planned to organize the talks behind the scenes, it was impossible to say that the Japanese trusted these three puppet traitors very much.
Therefore, Lao Huang tends to believe that the Japanese will choose the city with the strongest control of them as the location of the so-called "Big Three" secret talks.
Lu Dazhang's reason is very direct, he pointed out two points:
First, the Japanese are very proud of their face. Qingdao is the most promising city in the north.
Second, waterway safety.
Cheng Qianfan recognized the reasons for Lao Huang and Lu Dazhang. He also considered these two points, and then he added more reasons for judgment. The most important point is:
Sakamoto Ryono gave him some seafood, which Imamura Hitotaro ordered Sakamoto Ryono to send.
Regarding this batch of seafood, Sakamoto Ryono only knew that it was a gift brought by an old friend of Imamura Hitaro.
Although there is no evidence that Imamura Hitaro's old friend comes from Qingdao, Cheng Qianfan boldly speculated that Imamura Hitaro's old friend comes from Qingdao.
The Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs wants to participate in this tripartite talks, and at least it must show that it has participated. Therefore, Cheng Qianfan suspected that Imamura Hitaro might also participate, or observe the "three giants" talks in an "objective" attitude.
Then, these little changes in Imamura Hitaro's life are qualified to constitute a certain intelligence direction in some cases.
Of course, after discussion, the three of them also believed that the possibility of Tianjin could not be ruled out, because Tianjin has a concession and is next to Peking, so the possibility of the three parties choosing the concession in Tianjin also exists.
Cheng Qianfan frowned and thought.
The reasons for comrades ‘Piano’ and ‘Flying Fish’ are mostly derived from speculation, and of course this speculation is based on the grasp and analysis of intelligence, current situations.
However, it is not actual evidence after all.
Therefore, Cheng Qianfan knew that what he had to do now was to find some substantial evidence that could be proved.
Suddenly, Cheng Qianfan felt aroused and he had an idea.
...
No. 64, Shencheng, Xi'ansi Road.
Zhao Shuli reported to Comrade Yi Jun the latest information on the delivery of weapons, ammunition and medical supplies to Nanjing Limingzhang Office through Cheng Qianfan.
"So, the current intelligence points to this batch of weapons and materials were not transported through Cheng Qianfan's Jiujiu trade, but were transported to Nanjing by railway, and were escorted by Japanese troops?" Comrade Yi Jun asked.
"The information we have at present is like this." Zhao Shuli nodded, "In terms of this matter, the relationship between Cheng Qianfan and the Japanese seems to be far closer than we imagined."
He said to Comrade Yi Jun, "Even, we can understand that this batch of weapons and materials were actually transported through the Japanese army between Shanghai and Nanjing."
"I got a large number of Japanese-style weapons, and then the transportation method was through the Japanese army." Zhao Shuli said, "This is enough to prove that Cheng Qianfan has long been a hardcore traitor."
"And, based on some information in the police station," said Zhao Shuli. "The Japanese have already started patrolling the railway with armored trains."
When Comrade Yi Jun's expression became very serious when he heard Comrade "Cicada Pupa" say this.
He naturally knew the huge threat of the so-called armored train.
It can be said that there are armored trains, and any attempt to fight against the Japanese army's military transport is almost no different from sending death.
"It seems that this bite of fat is hard to eat," Comrade Yi Jun said.
"There is also a piece of goods to be shipped out of Shanghai," said Zhao Shuli. "Cheng Qianfan's Jiujiu Trading."
He said to Comrade Yi Jun, "Is it possible that Cheng Qianfan was secretly building a plank road?"
Build a plank road openly and travel to Chen Cang secretly?
Comrade Yi Jun immediately understood the meaning of Zhao Shuli's words.
This is the surface of transporting medical supplies, weapons and ammunition through the Japanese army.
In fact, it was a secret, and Cheng Qianfan completed the delivery of this batch of weapons, ammunition and medical supplies through his Jiujiu Trading.
"The possibility is not great." Comrade Yi Jun shook his head, "If I were Cheng Qianfan, I could contact and even use the Japanese army's transportation capabilities directly, then there was no need to repair the plank road openly and secretly travel to Chencang."
Zhao Shuli glanced at Comrade Yi Jun.
However, he did not expect that Comrade Yi Jun was so cautious and directly gave a reason that could not be refuted.
This made Zhao Shuli a little "embarrassing":
Because Comrade ‘Flame’ was already secretly raising supplies and preparing to take action against his goods in the team, he was "forced" to cause losses.
