Chapter 573 Traitor (Part 2)

(...The personal cultivation is so high that it is worthy of its reputation. This is the first feeling when I met with Wang Jingwei. At that time, the generals of the Guangdong Army thought I was too aggressive, but in fact I thought so. Afterwards, many people said that I was the person who was most worried about the outcome of peace because I was afraid of losing military power. Haha, who knew, one night two days ago, I planned to quit my military post and go farming... Excerpted from "My Memories of the War of Resistance - Cao Xiaomin")

No matter how pure and simplistic your private life, no matter what your motive is, as long as your final result is a traitor that the Chinese people cannot tolerate, then you are a traitor! Cao Xiaomin finally inevitably met with Wang Jingwei.

Wang Jingwei came here this time and the lineup was strong: Zhou Fohai, Minister of the Propaganda Department of the Kuomintang, Mei Siping, Professor of the Central University and the Central Political School of the Kuomintang Central Legal Special Committee, Tao Xisheng, Participant of the National Political Association, Gao Zongwu, Director of the Asian Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and others. Among them, Gao Zongwu's appearance surprised Cao Xiaomin and also felt that Wang Jingwei was naive: Gao Zongwu went to Japan to conduct secret diplomatic negotiations with Japan in July last year and brought it back. Japan asked Chiang Kai-shek to step down. Wang Jingwei's diplomatic result, his private actions made the Japanese think that the people were in the country and the internal part was broken, which made Chiang Kai-shek so angry that he stopped paying all his diplomatic expenses... Such a person surrendered to you, use it if you say it, and give Chiang Kai-shek some face!?

Regarding the group of people around Wang Jingwei, Cao Xiaomin just glanced at him and looked arrogant and headed straight for Wang Jingwei: "Hahaha, isn't Dean Wang just to deal with a few Japanese? Is it necessary to produce so many well-educated people? It's enough to leave me Cao Xiaomin to take a few mountain village men to go!"

Cao Xiaomin's madness and rudeness are very different from his usual behavior. His every move makes the group of people around Wang Jingwei so angry that their faces are blue!

Wang Jingwei was not angry: "General Cao is invincible and is the mainstay of the Chinese nation's war of resistance. His murderous aura is indeed everywhere... The weapon is a weapon. This time, Wang may not be able to achieve his strength when he goes to Hong Kong, but he must do his best to do his best, but he only seeks to stop the war and seek peace..."

Seeing this, the Guangdong bosses including Zhang Fakui applauded and used the excitement to resolve the incompatible relationship between the two sides.

Seeing this, Cao Xiaomin suddenly smiled. If he was aggressive, he would not give Zhang Fakui and others face.

"Mr. Wang was once praised by the Prime Minister for "Mr. Bingqing". Marquis Lie has always admired him..." The smile was on his face, very warm, but it remained as if he was frozen. This is the standard smile and no smile. What Cao Xiaomin used to express is a kind of meaning of "I give face but I won't miss you"!

"Bijun, General Liehou is straightforward, one is one, two is two, and it is a bit similar to you back then..." Wang Jingwei didn't even have a trace of temper, so he asked more than half of his body to lead Chen Bijun to greet Cao Xiaomin.

How could he compare himself to your wife's personality? Cao Xiaomin was both angry and funny. He looked at Chen Bijun, but he was just a fair and obese middle-aged woman with glasses on her face. She could not see beauty or chivalrousness, but she was somewhat similar to his original elementary school teacher in time and space.

"Mr. (a respectful title for women with knowledge and status during the Republic of China) I admired the courage of tearing off the British passport when I raised my hand. Today, according to Mr. Liehou, should the lord be burning his boat?" I was not aggressive towards a woman, but he really didn't want to be too harmonious with the Wang couple, so he sent it over with one sting and one sting.

"Of course, you are a soldier. If you are not in front of you, you are afraid that we will not be able to speak hard at the negotiating table!" Chen Bijun's answer was beyond Cao Xiaomin's expectations, and he couldn't find the topic for a while, so he sat with the Wang couple at the greetings of everyone.

When Cao Xiaomin sat down, he found that many people didn't dare to sit down, and they were pushing around, including Chiang Ching-kuo. He then realized that Wang Jingwei's status was not as casual as he thought. After a sudden calculation, he was indeed too extensive: the veteran of the Xingzhonghui, Sun Yat-sen's left and right hands, and the drafting of the Prime Minister's will (Sun Yat-sen did not change a word)... At the moment, he had to pretend to be unconscious and felt a headache for the red tape.

"General Liehou has any objection to my speech yesterday?" After everyone sat down, Wang Jingwei asked Cao Xiaomin, but Cao Xiaomin didn't know what he said yesterday!?

"Return to Mr. Wang, Mr. Lieutenant was inspecting the front line yesterday. He was busy with military affairs and had no time to read the newspapers..." Cao Xiaomin looked back at the clerks who were following him and found that several clerks were sweating profusely.

Wang Jingwei also knew at first glance that Cao Xiaomin's words were true, and he did not intend to embarrass himself. He was not interested at the moment: "Maybe what Jingwei said was an exaggeration, but what Jingwei saw in Chongqing and Guangzhou, he felt that the Chinese people's warlike hearts were growing, and it was not good for peace, so he had the remarks of 'resistance again'..."

"What will happen if you fight again?" Cao Xiaomin was stunned, but he couldn't help but change his face: "If you fight again, you will lose? Who will die? How can the five thousand-year-old civilization of China be destroyed by others? In the end of this battle, it is the little Japanese who is afraid of the country and the tribe!"

Mars suddenly exploded, and Cao Xiaomin's words were loud and loud, but there was neither applause nor cheer in the audience. Most of the old members of the Guangdong army looked embarrassed.

Wang Jingwei's prestige and status in the hearts of everyone was so high? Cao Xiaomin couldn't help but be surprised: Zhang Fakui, Cai Tingkai, Jiang Guangnai, Li Hanhun and others who he knew were all firm pro-war factions, but they were embarrassed to show that this was too unexpected to Cao Xiaomin. It seems that there is no reason why Wang Jingwei can become the largest traitor in history. Others are afraid that they can't be such a high-level one if they want to be a traitor!?

Wang Jingwei's temper was surprisingly good, and after Cao Xiaomin refuted so bluntly, he still looked calm: "The bravery of General Liehou and the gentleness of Jingwei are also worried about this country and this nation? As the saying goes, the same end, all the merits and demerits are right or wrong, or only five hundred years later will there be a certain statement... Is five hundred years enough?"

Cao Xiaomin looked at Wang Jingwei and listened to his last question, "Is five hundred years enough?", and a sympathy arose in his heart: A talent like you, but it will be concluded that the "big traitor" will be finalized in a few years!

However, he could hear from Wang Jingwei's tone that his words did not look like fake, and he really looked worried about the country and the people... Such a person had known the result before, and he was not sure that he would be a traitor at this moment! In Cao Xiaomin's impression, most of the most active traitors in the enemy-occupied area were the most radical oral anti-Japanese figures at a certain period of time!

"This time Jingwei went to Hong Kong to seek peace. The bottom line that I held was 'not cede the territory, no compensation', and the Japanese army had to withdraw within a specified period of time..." Wang Jingwei said this and said sincerely to Cao Xiaomin: "Before I went to Hong Kong, I wanted to hear the general's opinion, and there were still bottom lines that must be adhered to. The peace I pursue was not a slave-like peace without principled concessions, but a peace under the circumstances of ensuring the dignity of our Chinese nation and the interests of the people of both countries..."

"If President Wang can change the sentence "protect the interests of the people of both countries" to "protect the interests of our Chinese people", Liehou will be afraid that there will be nothing to say..." Cao Xiaomin said: "How many times have the Japanese army said that the peace talks have to be discussed? Every time people make some unreliable voices, why do we flock to it? Can't we fight? Can't we win? Just now, the wife said that Liehou and other soldiers must burn on the front line to have the toughness of our country at the negotiating table. Liehou deeply agrees: peace is not something I don't want, but the Japanese army is not sincerely discussing, they are just slowing down the army!"

After Cao Xiaomin finished speaking, he thought about it and there was no need to debate with Wang Jingwei. Not to mention whether the debate was a result, so what if there was one? Besides, although he had seen more of the world in the next few decades, he might not be able to win these historical celebrities in terms of eloquence!

"Mr. Wang wants to ask Liehou what other bottom line must be adhered to. Liehou can only say the same thing, that is, let the Japanese make a will to tell their next generation to continue fighting!" After Cao Xiaomin finished speaking, he stood up and left, and the first round of the Wang Cao meeting ended.

Wang Jingwei violated the first taboo of politics: not being greedy and being too honest; the second taboo: openly value the opponents of political enemies and not understanding the theory of harmony; the third taboo: in the shouts of victory in the War of Resistance Against Japan, he insisted on choosing a peaceful line, and he did not know how to follow the crowd; the fourth taboo: in the face of provocations, he did not turn against the enemy, do you really think that politics is reasonable?... Cao Xiaomin kept listing Wang Jingwei's failure in his heart on the way back, and suddenly he remembered the performance of a group of Guangdong generals in that scene...

No, right, what I listed was wrong, there was only one thing that really made him doomed to fail: the one who endangers the superior! The respectful behavior of the Guangdong generals to Wang Jingwei in the Wang Cao meeting just now appeared in their minds...

I have to worry about the situation all the way through the military and political circles. Aren’t I just worried about the scene today? If my subordinates do not care about their personal thoughts, they only know to surrender to me... If a person reaches such a position in politics, he will not be far from death if he can’t go up!

Cao Xiaomin finally found a bad guy who was even more dangerous than his situation - no matter how sharp he showed, he was just a junior in politics, and Wang Jingwei's qualifications were much older than Chiang Kai-shek!

It was faintly true that Cao Xiaomin had a premonition: Wang Jingwei's journey to the path of a traitor was related to Chiang Kai-shek, and even his induced him!
