Chapter nine hundred and eighty-fifth: convene the old department
"Jun Gao, go back, Prime Minister Kobaya will not summon you today."
"Ota-kun, I really have an urgent matter to ask Prime Minister Kobe. Please come in and talk to the Prime Minister. Give me five minutes or three minutes."
Gao Zongwu had been waiting in front of the Prime Minister's residence for four hours, and his legs were numb. It turned out that Japanese Prime Minister Kome Momo, who was quite enthusiastic about him, suddenly changed his attitude towards him and he didn't want to see him no matter what.
He came with Vice President Wang’s special mission, but he couldn’t finish the task without completing it. It would be hard to explain to just go back like this.
"Okay, I'll go in and ask you again. If the Prime Minister doesn't want to see you, please leave immediately." Otsuda finally agreed with a hint of displeasure.
"Thank you, Otsuda Jun." Gao Zongyou nodded and said.
After about seven or eight minutes, Otsuda walked out of the gate of the Prime Minister's residence and said condescendingly: "Kun Gao, Your Excellency Komaki agrees to meet you, but you only have five minutes, and you will have an important meeting later..."
"Thanks."
Gozo Takeru followed Ota into the official residence of Prime Minister Ota.
In a temporary reception room, Gao Zongwu met Prime Minister Mitsumo in a kimono. When he first came to the Prime Minister's residence to meet Konoha, he was in Konoha's study room. Not only did he serve tea with special waiters, but his etiquette was also very thoughtful, which made him feel flattered.
Now, just in this small temporary reception room, all the waiters, tea, fruits and snacks are gone.
This is like this Japanese Prime Minister, not to mention those ordinary Japanese himself, Gao Zongwu felt a little uncomfortable. Japanese and Meng always claimed that he was consistent in his own opinion, but in fact they even looked at the dishes.
There is no way, a weak country has no diplomacy, and even if the guards do not see him, he will have no choice.
"Mr. Gao, please sit down."
"Thank you, Lord Komway." Gao Zongwu bent his waist politely, and seeing that Munme Mori didn't mean to sit down, he felt embarrassed to sit down.
"Our Mr. Wang already knows what Mr. Wang means. I hope your country can give up the policy of 'not being an opponent of the National Government', and conduct peace negotiations with our country, and the most important point is 'your country should support Mr. Wang as the center of the peace movement'." Gao Zongwu said tactfully.
"Mr. Wang has made our old friend of Japan. I am very happy that he has such vision, but the question now is, can Mr. Wang replace that Mr. Jiang and become the leader of your country?"
"With your country's support, I think Mr. Wang can do it." Gao Zongwu said. His purpose of meeting Konoe was to ask Konoe Fumimo to support Wang Zhaoming to replace Chiang Kai-shek, but Konoe seemed to ignore this.
"Mr. Wang has no army in his hands, and Chiang has the army in his hands. Can Mr. Wang beat Chiang?"
"This..." Gao Zongwu's face turned red. He really didn't know how to answer this question.
"I know that you Mr. Wang is very sincere, but our government cannot make a promise easily. Gao Jun, what do you think?"
"What are your requests for you, you said." General Gaozong's posture was low.
"If Mr. Wang can help clear some obstacles to peace, I think our government is still willing to support Mr. Wang's peace movement."
“What obstacle do you mean?”
Koemoto smiled. How could he say so in detail? It depends on "understanding".
Gao Zongwu was stunned and realized that he might have asked a rather stupid question.
"Kun Gao, if nothing is wrong, please give yourself a favor. I will attend an important meeting." Konoe Moto nodded lightly and walked away.
"Takayama, please." Under Otada's leadership, Takazo Takeru passed through the back garden of the Prime Minister's residence and saw Koeme Fumimama playing on the lawn with a few children.
It turns out that this is an important meeting of Prime Minister Guards.
Gao Zongwu suddenly realized that it was meaningless to stay in Tokyo again, so it would be better to return home immediately.
"Xing Zuojun, thank you for coming to see me." On the ship back to Shanghai, Gao Zongwu sighed to Ying Zuo Zhenzhao who was coming to see me off.
"Mr. Gao, don't be discouraged. I believe that as long as you and me work hard, peace between China and Japan can still be expected."
"Thanks."
"In the Shanghai side, I have arranged someone to pick you up, but it's better for you not to go back to Hankou recently." Ying Zuozhen said.
"Why?" Gao Zongwu was stunned.
"You will know when you arrive, Gao Jun, the journey is smooth." Ying Zuozhenzhao smiled slightly and bowed slightly.
"Goodbye, goodbye to Kagesako."
"Sister Xiaoyun, what are we going to Shanghai?" I originally planned to fly directly to Shanghai by plane, but the tickets have been purchased, but Wu Xiaoyun temporarily changed her attention and took the boat instead.
It was much slower to take a boat, and he couldn't contact his family during this period. He really couldn't understand why Wu Xiaoyun did this.
Yao Heizi knew the rules and didn't ask what he shouldn't ask, but he really couldn't hold it in. He still had to ask questions.
Yao Heizi has never been out of the sea since he was a child. He was very seasick in the first two days and almost tortured this five-foot-high man torture.
Fortunately, after getting used to it, my body gradually recovered in the next two days, but this time it was a shadow left in his heart.
Even if I overcome the problem of seasickness, I am not willing to take a sea boat.
"Shanghai, are you familiar with it?"
"I've been here a few times, but I'm not very familiar with it."
"Do you have any acquaintances?"
"Miss Xiaoyun, what are you doing?"
"Do you know people from local gangs? I need some people to help me do something, and I can trust it."
Yao Heizi lowered his head and thought, "However, there is, but I just don't know if the person is still there."
"Let's find a place to live first. You can contact us and get a car and light weapons and ammunition. It's best to get me a Mauser 98k." Wu Xiaoyun ordered.
"What are you going to do?"
"You will know then. Remember, you can't expose your identity. When you are using weapons, remember to change your accent."
"I understand, should you tell your family? The military captain may be crazy now." Yao Heizi reminded.
"Don't worry, I know how to do it." Wu Xiaoyun nodded. If she was not sure, she wouldn't need to come in person.
Wu Xiaoyun and Yao Heizi came from the sea and had a lag in the news in China. After getting off the boat, they found a restaurant to settle down and bought a few newspapers first.
In the past few days after Wu Xiaoyun left, the situation of the domestic war changed drastically. While singing the song of "peace", the Japanese army launched a fierce attack on Hebei, Shandong and Henan.
There were heavy rainstorms in the middle and upper reaches of the Yellow River, and the water level rose sharply.
The Japanese army went from detour to the hinterland of eastern Henan and occupied Lanfeng, an important gateway to eastern Henan. The 38th Division of the Eighth Army was surrounded by the Japanese army in the Guide area.
The Japanese army bombed the Yellow River embankment, broke the dam at Huayuankou, flooded thousands of square kilometers, and millions of victims were displaced...
"Sister Yun, I've contacted me. I found a friend on the black market. I found seven or eight people. There was no problem with guns and ammunition. It was the Mauser 98k rifle you wanted. It's not easy to find. If you have the 38th Style, it wouldn't be a big problem."
"The three-eight style is just the three-eight style. When will it be available?"
"tomorrow."
"Okay, I've been taking the boat for a few days. You can rest in the hotel and I'll go out." Wu Xiaoyun said.
"Sister Yun, I'll go with you."
"You should stay in a hotel. It's not appropriate to take you there." Wu Xiaoyun said.
Xinxiang, Henan North Administrative Office.
"The military captain, there is news from the witch office. People are in Shanghai. I just sent a code-word telegram to report my safety."
"What did she go to Shanghai to do?" Leng Feng asked in confusion.
"Don't know."
"Forget it, let's ask when she comes back." The person found it and was safe, Leng Feng's heart was relieved.
As for what he did, he believed that Wu Xiaoyun would not go to Shanghai for no reason. There must be something important, and he could not explain it in detail after the telegram. He could only wait for her to come back and explain it clearly.
Hongkou, Japanese Concession.
"Shan Bo."
"You are... Miss Yun." You are a little hunched, your temples are gray, your face is full of wrinkles, and your eyes are dull and unconscious.
"Shan Bo, are you okay?" Wu Xiaoyun asked.
"Miss Yun, can you speak?" The person who was called "Shan Bo" by Wu Xiaoyun was still a little unbelievable.
"Well, I can speak now, but I'm still a little bit uneasy." Wu Xiaoyun explained.
"Hurry, Miss Yun, please sit in the house." Shanbo welcomed Wu Xiaoyun into his house, a separate small courtyard with a patio.
The house is a bit old, but the conditions are much better than most people.
Wu Xiaoyun walked in and took a random look at some of the furnishings inside and outside the house. They were all very old and obviously they had not been replaced for a long time.
She also saw a chair with broken legs and clothes drying on bamboo poles, which were all very worn.
"Uncle Shan, where are you and my good brother?"
"Your aunt is doing chores for a family. Come back once a week, and your good brother is working in the Daguangming Cinema."
"Shan Bo, where are you?"
"Hey, I can't do anything except settle the accounts. Now I can only do some small business, buy popsicles, etc. Miss Yun, your favorite popsicles when you were a child. I'll get you one." Shan Bo remembered and said hurriedly.
"No need, Shan Bo, I'm here to find a good brother to help me do something."
"He has a lame leg, so what else can he do for Miss Yun?" asked Shan Bo.
"Don't worry, I won't let my good brother do anything about fighting and killing anymore. I have something else to do." Wu Xiaoyun explained.
"Oh, then I'll go find him?"
"No need, Shanbo, tell me where he is, I'll go find him by myself." Wu Xiaoyun said.
"He is now at the Da Guangming Cinema, where I built a small counter there. He bought tickets and also helped me sell popsicles..."
"Thank you, Shan Bo, this is my kindness, you accept it." Wu Xiaoyun handed Shan Bo some money.
At Daguangming Cinema, Wu Xiaoyun found Shanbo's son, good brother. He once made the Japanese invaders scared on the battlefield. Because of his injuries, he had to retire and stayed in such a place and did a job buying movie tickets.
"Miss Yun!"
"Let's go, this place is not suitable for you. I have a way to cure your legs." Wu Xiaoyun said straightforward when she saw her good brother.
