It’s Lianxianglou again.

The last time Chu Ze invited Lu Xiyan to have a meal here, and this time he made a special arrangement here, and he had already booked a private room.

It was just him and Chu Ze.

The two have not met for a year. When they met again, Lu Xiyan was a little unaware of him. Chu Ze obviously gained much weight than when he was in Shanghai.

Maybe the climate and water and rice in Hong Kong are very nourishing, or maybe Hong Kong does not have the tense atmosphere like Shanghai. Over the past year, Chu Ze has gained at least fifteen kilograms of weight.

"Sir, Chu Ze respects you." Chu Ze was very excited. Although he was in Hong Kong this year, he knew everything that happened in Shanghai.

The "Iron Blood Anti-Traits Group" under Lu Xiyan is stronger than the old military advisors, and has more cohesion and combat effectiveness.

It has to be said that the whimsical idea of ​​Tan Si and Huang San actually had the result of today, which Chu Ze never thought of.

"Brother Chu, be polite." Lu Xiyan picked up the wine glass and said, "It should be that I respect Brother Chu. In the past year, if Brother Chu had not taken charge of the overall situation in Hong Kong, I would have many things that could only stay on paper and could not be achieved."

"cheers!"

"Dry!"

"Over the past year, Chu Ze has a lot of words that no one can tell. I have always hoped that Mr. will come to Hong Kong and give me some advice on the confusion in my heart." Chu Ze said.

"Brother Chu has any confusion, let's talk about it, we can discuss it with each other." Lu Xiyan put down his wine glass and said slowly. He also had a lot of things to communicate with Chu Ze in depth.

"Sir, do you think we can win this battle?"

"Why, Brother Chu's belief in fighting against Japan has shaken?" Lu Xiyan was surprised. Chu Ze was not like a person with weak willpower.

"No, I think based on the current international situation and the balance of strength between the two sides, if this war continues to be fought, we may lose." Chu Ze explained.

"What does Brother Chu mean?"

"I will not admit defeat, at most I will die!" Chu Ze picked up the wine glass and drank it all, "I, Chu Ze, will never live under the power of the Japanese."

After hearing this, Lu Xiyan felt relieved. At least Chu Ze's belief in fighting the Japanese invaders was not shaken, but he was pessimistic about whether he could achieve the final victory.

In fact, many people have such pessimistic emotions. Many people do not lack the courage to fight. However, they cannot see the hope of victory, and then they have pessimistic and negative thoughts.

In a short period of time, the harm is not great, but once it takes a long time, this pessimism will affect the fighting spirit and may even be depressed from then on.

Lu Xiyan suddenly understood a truth, why some civil anti-Japanese organizations suddenly changed their attitude overnight, and even turned into traitors, turning their guns to deal with the anti-Japanese military and civilians.

Two words.

Belief.

They took up weapons, spontaneously resisted aggression, and fought against Japan and eliminated traitors, but they were just in their identity with the country and nation and their simplest feelings.

But this cannot last. Even those with firm will easily go to another extreme when a person cannot see hope.

This is also very normal.

Lu Xiyan realized that when he was leading the "Iron Blood Anti-Traits Group", he ignored one thing, which is the political and ideological construction of the team.

He did not notice this problem in Guo Hanjie and others. It was because these people were under their direct leadership and had won many victories in the process of dealing with the Special High School and No. 76. They would not have such pessimistic ideas, so they did not need to do ideological work for them.

But Chu Ze and the others are different. They are exposed to pessimistic and negative news, especially some tempting and confusing propaganda, which will inevitably shake whether the war of resistance will eventually win.

It’s not because Chu Ze is thinking about it. After all, the comparison between China and Japan’s forces is there at this stage, and the Japanese army still maintains a huge military advantage.

"Cheng Chiang is secretly negotiating with the Japanese. The negotiator is Song Ziwen's younger brother. Song Ziliang, sir, you said, what should we do if Chongqing really reaches a peace agreement with the Japanese?" Chu Ze drank one glass after another and expressed his inner depression.

"What? The representative of the negotiations between Chongqing and the Japanese was Song Ziwen's younger brother?" Lu Xiyan was also shocked. Song Ziwen was the eldest brother-in-law of Chiang Kai-shek and the God of Wealth he relied on. Then his younger brother, Song Ziliang's identity was naturally extraordinary.

Song Ziliang is the chairman of Southwest Transportation Company in Hong Kong. This seems to be no government official. However, under the wartime mechanism, this Southwest Transportation Company provides transportation logistics support to Chongqing, and many businesses imported from Hong Kong are operated through this company.

This is not only a key department, but also a fat person. If you don’t put this position in your own hands, you will not be relieved.

It is completely possible for Song Ziliang to represent Chongqing, and it is even more convincing than Chongqing's office in Hong Kong.

Song Ziliang's identity can reach Tianting directly. Do the officials below have this power?

Obviously not possible.

After reporting it layer by layer, it is estimated that the secret peace talks have been exposed in the world. If you ask, the Japanese are not unwilling to do such peace talks.

They just wanted to find someone who was enough to reach Mr. Jiang from Chongqing, otherwise the negotiation would have no meaning.

"Yes, it must be him. I've seen Song Ziliang once."

"Brother Chu, if Chongqing really sends Song Ziliang to secretly contact and negotiate with the Japanese, that may not be able to explain anything." Lu Xiyan said.

"This doesn't mean anything. Chiang Kai-shek and the one named Wang are all birds of a feather, there is no difference!" Chu Ze snorted coldly, his eyes were already red.

"Brother Chu, war is a continuation of politics, and we cannot deny this, but even if Mr. Jiang sent someone to contact the Japanese secretly, what can this mean? Have they signed an agreement?" Lu Xiyan said, "If there is no agreement, then everything is uncertain. Brother Chu is very good at doing business, but his judgment on the military and international situation is a little worse. Instead, I think that Chongqing is unlikely to make peace with Japan. For reasons, I can at least tell you seven or eight things. Do you want to hear it?"

"Sir, please give me advice!" Chu Ze was stunned, and hurriedly stood up and bowed deeply with his fists.

"First, if Mr. Jiang made peace with Japan, he would definitely not tolerate Wang's family. Moreover, Wang's family has been declared a traitor and a traitor. If he makes peace with Japan at this time, wouldn't he slap himself hard? Second, although there are many pro-Japanese factions in the Kuomintang, the majority of those who advocate anti-Japanese resistance, especially the majority of the Huangpu generals, they are all Mr. Jiang's direct descendants. If he doesn't want everyone to betray their relatives, even if he tries, he will try this, third, the international situation is changing, and the pace of German invasion will not stop. A world war is on the verge of the string, and the winner is still not determined. It is not a wise choice to take sides at this time. Fourth, Japan is now full of problems. With their current national strength, they want to launch a large-scale entry.

Attacking battles is not easy, especially behind enemy lines, the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army of the Communist Party have taken root and developed and grown. They are constantly attacking the enemy behind enemy lines. The Japanese army's troops in China are difficult to support such a long front line. Next, Japan will definitely adjust its strategy to China, otherwise it will be themselves who will collapse first; Fifth, with the emergence of the military axis of Germany, Japan and Italy, Britain, the United States and France will never be left alone. If China completely falls to Japan at this time, the entire Asia will fall into the hands of Japan. This will never be what Britain, the United States, France and other countries are willing to see. Therefore, next, even if these three countries are reluctant, they will increase their aid to China in exchange for dragging the pace of millions of Japanese troops on the Chinese battlefield..."

Lu Xiyan became more and more casual as he spoke. He had some thoughts in his heart, but he had never thought about summing up. After Chu Ze asked this, these analytical and judgments all emerged from his mind.

The more Chu Ze heard it, the more shocked he looked on his face. It turned out that what he thought was wrong, and many of them were outrageously wrong, and some even got into the horns.

"Sir, I was wrong." After hearing this, Chu Ze was shocked and sweating profusely, and he almost made such a huge mistake.

"Actually, you are not wrong. You are just blinded by a leaf." Lu Xiyan comforted her kindly.

"Sir, if you are wrong, you are wrong. If you weren't for your advice, I would have made a bigger mistake. Fortunately, I understand now and will no longer be confused." Chu Ze said seriously.

"Brother Chu, actually, I've been confused. Do you know how I got out?" Lu Xiyan said in a straightforward manner.

"You've been confused, too?"

"Of course, I have also thought about what if we really lose this war, should I go away from my hometown or live in the world?" Lu Xiyan said, "It is not embarrassing to have such an idea."

"Later, I discovered, why did we lose this war? Because we will not lose at all, we will definitely win. This cycle of heaven has never said that evil can suppress justice forever. We fight for the country, and victory must belong to us."

"Yes, victory must belong to us!"

"Brother Chu, how much do you know about Song Ziliang's contact with the Japanese?" Lu Xiyan asked back.

"I don't know much. Suzuki, the martial arts center of the Japanese Consulate in Hong Kong, was a middleman through a professor named Zhang Zhiping from the University of Hong Kong. The two sides secretly met and negotiated. Every time Song Ziliang went to see Suzuki, the operation team of the Military Affairs Bureau Hong Kong Station was responsible for security work. The news was provided by Baimao. He was secretly held in the suite of the Hong Kong Peninsula Hotel. He was arranged to be responsible for secret surveillance and security work." Chu Ze explained.

The white cat is Gu Xiaobai's code name. The news he sent should not be fake. This is a chess piece that Lu Xiyan carefully arranged to penetrate into the Hong Kong Station of the Military Control Commission, and finally played a role.

"How many secret meetings have they had?"

"Add to add one that happened two days ago, it should be the third time," Chu Ze said.

"Do you know the specific content of the talks?"
