Pei Zhicun was also secretly observing Cheng Qianfan.
The grandson of Mr. Cheng Guzhi, an old member of Tongmeng, was born into a prominent family and his parents were both martyrs of the National Party.
This origin is the most beautiful even if it is placed on the traitor regime of Wang Baihai. After all, Wang has always promoted that he is the descendant of Mr. Zhongshan’s orthodox mantle.
The nephew of Chu Mingyu, vice president of the Executive Yuan of the new regime, is deeply trusted by Chu Mingyu.
As soon as the new regime was established, it was directly rewarded with the major general as a senator.
It can be foreseeable that after the establishment of the Wang family's traitor regime, Cheng Qianfan will be more and more valued in the future.
In addition, Cheng Qianfan has a good relationship with the Japanese.
Therefore, when Cheng Qianfan showed his intention of being acquainted, Pei Zhicun was naturally happy to see him.
...
"Where has Assistant Liu been?" Pei Zhicun asked casually when he saw that Liu Xia's seat was empty.
"The Secretary-General has something to look for her." Cheng Qianfan said.
He pulled up the curtains and looked out, only to see darkness, and a searchlight could be seen at the far end. The train should have been temporarily parked near a Japanese stronghold.
"Secretary Cheng, please pull the curtains." A staff member came over and said to Cheng Qianfan, "Be careful."
"Um." Cheng Qianfan nodded, and he glanced at the man, "You are Cao Yu's person, where are you team leader Cao?"
"Team leader Cao went to Nanjing first." The man said.
"Your surname is Pan, what's your name?" Cheng Qianfan said thinking, "Pan..."
"Pan Yang." Pan Yang was very happy to see that 'Mr. Xiao Cheng actually knew about him and said quickly.
"Pan Yang, yes, yes." Cheng Qianfan nodded. He threw a cigarette and the man, "Do you know why you parked?"
Pan Yang showed a look of silence.
Cheng Qianfan just looked at him with a smile and didn't say anything.
...
Pan Yang wanted to speak but stopped. He looked at Pei Zhicun sitting opposite Cheng Qianfan.
"This is Secretary-General Chen's assistant, Secretary Pei." Cheng Qianfan said, "There is nothing that cannot be said."
"I just received the information that something happened in Buning section of the Jinpu Line." Pan Yang whispered, "For safety reasons, the train stopped temporarily and had to wait for news of safety ahead to continue to set off."
"What happened to Bu Ningduan?" Cheng Qianfan frowned slightly, "What's the matter?"
"It is said that the New Fourth Army of the Red Party took over the Hugou stronghold and destroyed the railway line." Pan Yang said.
"These mud legs are really abominable." Cheng Qianfan snorted coldly, "The day of great joy is a disappointment."
"Our special train will not pass through Bengbu." Pei Zhixiong showed a puzzled expression on the side.
"You don't need to pass through the direction of Bengbu." Cheng Qianfan nodded, and he said to Pei Zhicun, "However, since something happened in Hugou, it is impossible to rule out the possibility of the enemy causing trouble on other railway lines. For safety reasons, emergency investigation is needed."
"So that's it." Pei Zhicun showed a sudden enlightenment expression. He smiled and said, "I know nothing about military methods and I laughed at it."
"Secretary Pei is a cultural person who eats ink, and is different from our rough people." Cheng Qianfan said with a smile.
"If your Secretary Cheng is a rough person, then I won't know the big words?" Pei Zhicun laughed.
"Mr. Cheng, you are busy. If you have something to do, please say hello." Pan Yang said carefully.
"Go ahead, go." Cheng Qianfan threw half a box of cigarettes to Pan Yang.
"Thank you, Mr. Cheng, thank you, Mr. Cheng." Pan Yang hurriedly took it and said thank you for leaving.
...
Pei Zhicun saw this scene in his eyes and remembered it in his heart.
He realized that he had a misunderstanding about Cheng Qianfan.
Cheng Qianfan’s greatest capital is not on the side of Wang Baihai’s regime, and even Chu Mingyu’s appreciation and trustworthiness are not the most important. Cheng Qianfan’s greatest fundamental is:
He is Mr. Cheng of the French Concession.
It can be seen from the attitude of this spy named Pan Yang towards Cheng Qianfan just now. He was afraid of and cursed with the "Mr. Xiao Cheng" in the French Concession.
...
"Is it okay?" He Guan asked Comrade Amu with concern.
Comrade Amu's luck was really not good. He was not hurt in the battle to capture the base. Instead, when cleaning the battlefield, he was bitten by a wounded Japanese soldier who pretended to die. Fortunately, Comrade Amu reacted quickly enough and stabbed the Japanese to death with a dagger. However, the Japanese still bit off a piece of meat on his arm.
"I'm lucky, I'm just a little skin trauma." Ah Hai said indifferently.
He Guan glanced at Comrade Amu, did Comrade Amu have any misunderstandings about the meaning of "good luck".
"Comrades, clean the battlefield quickly and you must evacuate in twenty minutes." He Guan took out his pocket watch and looked at the time, shouting.
The Hugou stronghold was pulled out, and the Japanese would not remain indifferent, and the Japanese reinforcements would arrive soon.
"Company Commander He, this battle is really enjoyable." Ah Hai said happily.
"This is thanks to the information provided by Comrade Amu," He Guan said sincerely. "If such a bunker stronghold is not taken away by wisdom, the casualties would be great."
...
The train temporarily stopped for about three quarters of an hour and finally moved forward again.
Liu Xia also came back at this time.
"What happened?" Cheng Qianfan couldn't help asking when he saw Liu Xia's face was dull.
"The Japanese do not agree with us using the blue sky and white sun flag." Liu Xia whispered, "Ichishiro Ichiro firmly opposed it, and Mr. Wang was very angry about it."
Wang Baihai regarded himself as the orthodox government of the National Government. What Wang family publicized to the outside world was that its regime was the National Government, and Chongqing was a pseudo-government, so the new regime of Wang family was the National Government and the capital was Nanjing.
Therefore, Wang Baihai’s original intention was to bring it over with the complete set of the “National Government”, including the flag of the National Government, which expressed orthodoxy, which meant to replace the Chang Kaishen regime by himself.
Because the red flags on the blue sky and white sun are the national flag of the Republic of China, Wang Baihai, who regarded himself as the descendant of Mr. Sun's robe, insisted that he must continue to use the red flags on the blue sky and white sun.
"Why do the Japanese object?" Cheng Qianfan frowned and said, "We must use the national flag with blue sky, white sun, and red ground, otherwise, how can the orthodox status come about?"
Pei Zhixiong heard it on the side and showed an indignation, "The new regime is the orthodox position of the government, and the flag cannot be replaced. The Japanese are making unreasonable trouble."
"Itagaki disagrees." Liu Xia said, "Their reason is that Japan also has to fight with the troops of the Chang Kaishen puppet regime. If the same flag is used in the front and rear, it will inevitably hinder the progress of the war."
"Although the Japanese are domineering, their reason is not completely unreasonable." Cheng Qianfan said in contemplation.
...
Liu Xia glared at Cheng Qianfan, meaning which side you are from?
"I'm just telling the truth." Cheng Qianfan said with a wry smile, "However, the flag with blue sky, white sun and red ground must be used, otherwise Chongqing will slander our orthodox status."
"What Secretary Cheng said is very true." Pei Zhicun nodded, and he frowned and said, "It's just that the Japanese have always been domineering, and it may not be easy to convince the Japanese to agree."
"Who said no?" Liu Xia sighed and said, "Secretary-General and the Japanese argued with each other. However, Seishiro Itagaki was extremely tough and firmly disagreed."
"This is difficult." Cheng Qianfan shook his head, and he snorted coldly, "I am about to arrive in Nanjing, and the ceremony is about to come to the end, so I made another one."
"Okay, there are Secretary-General for such a major event, Mr. Wang and others consider it." Liu Xia said. She glanced at her tray and saw that the dried fruit seeds were much less. She couldn't help but glared at Cheng Qianfan, "I just brought such a little snack, and I was harmed by you."
"What is disaster?" Cheng Qianfan was unhappy, "If I want disaster, I can't harm anything else?"
"Begging for a fight." Liu Xia took the dried fruit and threw it at Cheng Qianfan.
Pei Zhizhou couldn't help but laugh.
"Why are you laughing at?" Liu Xia gave Pei Zhicun a blank look.
...
At midnight, the "Junma" special train slowly stopped at Nanjing Xiaguan Station.
Because of the delay, the officials and citizens who were welcomed by Nanjing were like eggplants made of frost. When they saw the train entering the station, they cheered up, waved the flags in their hands, and shouted welcome slogans.
Wang Baihai got off the car and led a group of talents to accept the greetings of traitors from all over the Liang Hongzhi Reform Regime in Nanjing, as well as the Japanese representatives.
At this moment, a riot occurred at the scene.
Cheng Qianfan glanced at him and couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
It turned out that the welcome crowd was holding a flag with blue sky and white sun all over the ground, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the Japanese soldiers. Some Japanese soldiers were beating and scolding citizens and snatching the flag.
He glanced secretly and saw that Wang Baihai's face turned pale, while the Japanese beside Wang Baihai still had a smile on his face, without any intention of stopping the Japanese soldiers from committing crimes.
After such a farce, the lively welcome atmosphere was a bit awkward, and the entire welcome session could only be described as a hasty ending.
...
"I feel that the Japanese are interested." Pei Zhixiong said beside Cheng Qianfan, "This is to give Mr. Wang a warning."
Cheng Qianfan nodded deeply. Even if the Japanese were unhappy when they saw the blue sky and white sun, it would not be at this moment that the trouble would be caused.
"Let's go." Liu Xia said.
...
One day later.
Liu Xia asked Cheng Qianfan to visit Confucius Temple, and Cheng Qianfan took the opportunity to call Pei Zhicun to accompany him.
"The matter was finally resolved successfully." Cheng Qianfan glanced at the flags hanging on the street shops and said.
Regarding the differences between the flag, the Japanese side ultimately advocated adding a small yellow triangle strip to the original flag and writing the words "Peace and Rebellion Red Founding" to indicate the difference from the Changkaishen regime in Chongqing.
After urgent consultations, the Wang Baihai regime agreed helplessly.
Therefore, Nanjing began to handle urgently and ordered the new flag of the "National Government" to be hung on the streets and alleys.
In many places in Nanjing, especially tall buildings, a square red flag was suddenly hung on the ground, with a yellow triangle cloth printed with "Peace and Rebellion Red Founding" on the top.
Many people have been talking about this brand new apricot yellow flag for the first time when they saw it.
...
"So many high-ranking officials died."
Cheng Qianfan and others heard someone shouting, and the few turned their heads to look, and saw a person who went to the city to sell vegetables and point to the flag and speak.
"Don't talk nonsense." Someone said quickly, "This is the new flag of the National Government."
"Has the national government been fought back?" the old farmer said happily.
"Don't talk nonsense if you don't want to die." The person next to you said kindly, "This is Mr. Wang Baihai's National Government."
"That's a dead person." The old farmer said with a stubborn temper.
He pointed to the flag and said, "Look, how could there be a soul-suming banner on the blue sky and white sun flag?"
Cheng Qianfan and others subconsciously looked at the "New Flag" and their faces became strange.
That's right? There are apricot and yellow flags on the corners of the red flags all over the blue sky and white sun. It's just a soul-suming banner for the dead.
The few people looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.
...
Strange words about the "new flag" soon spread throughout the streets and alleys of Nanjing City.
This kind of "national flag" with a small apricot yellow flag is hung everywhere in Nanjing, which is very eye-catching.
Soon a song spread in Nanjing, sarcastically saying: "The national flag has braids? Examples are unprecedented; they are ashamed of the whole world and have been infamous for thousands of years!"
I don’t know who was too talkative, but he spread the old man’s “soul-summoning banner” to Wang Baihai’s ears. Cheng Qianfan heard that Mr. Wang was very angry and broke the teacup.
...
On March 30, the ancient capital Nanjing was very lively, with gongs and drums and colorful flags waving.
The walls of the streets and alleys were painted with many slogans celebrating the 'National Mansion', and many people on the street were marching with small flags.
The celebration of the Wang Baihai regime's reign to be restored to Nanjing was held lively.
Groups of parades after group of parades in the main streets of Nanjing, under the "protected" of the military and police bayonets, they shouted the slogan of peaceful founding and built a country through the city, and the streets and alleys were raising large slogans:
"Warm celebrating the National Government's capital to Nanjing!"
"Long live the peaceful construction of a country!"
As a ceremonial observer, Cheng Qianfan witnessed the establishment of the ugliest traitor regime in Chinese history.
Chu Mingyu, Chen Chunpu, Chen Nanhai, Zhou Liang and others surrounded Wang Baihai and walked in front of the crowd of the Wang Puppet Regime.
Wang Baihai was full of energy, his hair was greasy and energetic.
He held the plaster flag in one hand and the blue sky and white sun flag in the other hand, smiling.
A group of reporters stood in front and took photos of him.
...
Cheng Qianfan also had a plaster flag in his left hand, and a red flag with apricot yellow flag in his right hand holding the blue sky and white sun on his right hand, shouting the slogans of "Peaceful Founding of the Country" and "Long Live Mr. Wang", with an expression full of excitement.
On his left is Pei Zhicun, who also waved two flags.
Pei Zhicun looked at the excited Cheng Qianfan and looked at the Wang family and his group who were surrounded by reporters to take photos. He couldn't help feeling disgusted in his heart:
Ghosts appear and have been terrified for thousands of years!
...
The climax of the celebration came, and a long and small car crossed the railway and drove on the avenue in the center of Nanjing City.
Wang Baihai and the new "central government" department and committee members stood in the car, waving to the surrounding crowds frequently, and was a scene of pride.
The vehicles of Cheng Qianfan and other entourage members were getting closer. He sat in the car and looked at the citizens waving the flag and cheering enthusiastically. He had a smile on his face and a sneer in his heart.
The convoy had just passed, and Cheng Qianfan looked back and saw citizens snatching something.
"What is that doing?" Cheng Qianfan asked Liu Xia.
"Two kilograms of rice and three eggs." Liu Xia said lightly.
"What?" Cheng Qianfan was stunned for a moment, then understood, smiled embarrassedly, nodded, "The government is still capital, and everyone is celebrating together, this is also a joy to the people."
Liu Xia glanced at Cheng Qianfan and had to admire this guy's eloquence.
In order to celebrate this time, Wang's family is a bayonet with one hand and rice and eggs with the other hand, which is very lively.
