Chapter 250

The temperature in Shanghai at the end of October was already colder, but that was much warmer than in the north.

A yellow bus stopped at the pier.

A middle-aged man wearing a gray suit and a round hat with a pair of black-rimmed glasses perched on the bridge of his nose came down from the car.

He hurriedly paid the money and walked over.

He saw Shen Mo standing at the bow of the boat and immediately came over towards their boat with quick steps, got on the diving board and came to the boat.

As soon as he lifted the curtain and saw Cheng Mo, he directly walked over.

Cheng Mo used the same appearance that he had seen him in Hong Kong, and had always shown him with this face and kept his identity relatively secret.

“Mr. Gao is here, freshly brewed tea, have a cup to warm your body.” Cheng Mo did not get up to greet him, this cabin itself was not high enough to get up and stand upright.

“Thank you.” Gao Qichang walked over and sat down cross-legged in front of Cheng Mo, picking up the cup of tea and drinking it in one go.

“Why did you choose to meet on the boat?”

“It’s safe, and when we get to the river, no one has disturbed our conversation yet.” Cheng Mo explained.

“That’s true, our conversation must not be heard by a third person.” Gao Qichang nodded, “I’ve been recuperating in Hong Kong these days, and I met with Takeo Imai, the head of the China Section of the Japanese Staff Headquarters, and from what they said, they are willing to make adjustments to the peace between China and Japan.”

“Still not negotiating with Mr. Chiang?”

“As you know, I am stranded in Shanghai and Hong Kong, Mr. Chiang is very dissatisfied with me, the Japanese side of the meeting, although I also attended, but the negotiation lead is not in my hands.” Gao Qichang said.

“Who?”

“Mei Siping, a member of the Central Law Commission, he is Mr. Wang’s plenipotentiary.” Gao Qichang said, “He also came to Shanghai to prepare for further negotiations with the Japanese.”

“Did you talk in Hong Kong?”

“Talked, this is the content of several conversations, I wrote it from memory, there may be some inaccuracies, but that’s generally the idea.” Gao Qichang handed Cheng Mo an envelope.

Cheng Mo accepted it, but didn’t open it right away to read it.

“I will forward this record to Boss Dai using a secure channel, don’t worry Mr. Gao.” Cheng Mo said.

“Thanks a lot.” Gao Qichang said.

“What does Mr. Gao think are the chances of the Japanese having secret peace talks this time?” Cheng Mo poured Gao Qichang another cup of tea.

“There should be considerable sincerity, otherwise, they wouldn’t have invited us to Shanghai.” Gao Qichang said.

“Mr. Gao, it’s easy to get on board, but hard to get off.” Cheng Mo picked up his tea and spoke slowly, “It’s the same thing when you negotiate with the Japanese.”

Gao Qichang was slightly stunned and instantly understood Cheng Mo’s meaning, after getting on the boat, he could not help himself, if Cheng Mo was Japanese.

If Cheng Mo was a Japanese, then he could only be at his mercy now, otherwise, not to mention getting off the ship, his life would be in question.

This is a disguised warning to him, don’t have second thoughts.

Although Cheng Mo knew that Wang Zhaoming was in danger, he would not remind him, because he knew very well that there was a large group of people within the Kuomintang who were in favor of peace talks with Japan, and the argument that continuing to fight against the Japanese would lead to the demise of the country was something that many people believed in and agreed with.

Zhou Fuhai’s low-key club is not low-key at all.

Even Chiang, his anti-Japanese sincerity has a few points, it is not easy to say, the Japanese really gave him the conditions that can not refuse, he may be faster than Wang also kneel.

History has no ifs and buts, sometimes it’s about the signs regardless of the heart, thought of surrendering and actually did, that’s two different things.

People have weaknesses and dark sides in their hearts, and if you really want to judge a person by his dark side, there is not a single good person in the world.

Wang’s choice is his own, others want to stop can not stop, even if Cheng Mo leaked in advance, it may not be useful. However, it was still necessary to warn Gao Qichang, of course, what this guy really thinks, or that phrase: hearts are unpredictable.

“Thanks for the reminder.” Gao Qichang nodded gratefully.

“Since you’re here, then accompany me to fish for a while, as a right to relax.” Cheng Mo laughed and picked up a fishing rod and handed it over.

“Good.”

The boat docked at another pier, and only after Gao Qichang went ashore did Cheng Mo return the same way.

Back on the road, Cheng Mo patience, forced to hold back the anger to read the minutes of the negotiations with the Japanese in Hong Kong, after the thinking of the people to come to see, such a negotiation, completely is the loss of power and humiliation of the country.

Of course, even at the moment, it is humiliating.

This is not a peace agreement, it is a humiliating alliance under the city.

The nature of this world is the weak and the strong, the world order dominated by the West is bound to be the law of the jungle, and the only way to set things right is to wait for China to come and dominate the order of this world.

Tang Shaochuan died, they desperately want to pull together Wang Zhaoming, but Japan’s internal opinion also disagrees, greedy Japanese domestic consortiums and the Ministry of War’s demands are not the same, there is also from the political and diplomatic level of operation is another matter.

Now have not talked about so detailed, and so really under the water, these people will understand the Japanese is how greedy and shameless.

A nation that is not trustworthy, good at stealing chickens, and does not speak of martial virtues, expect him to follow your terms?

Curve to save the country, do your spring and fall dream.

Back at home, Cheng Mo hurriedly transcribed them, then had the originals given to Xu Baichuan to send out through a secret channel.

Then he brought the transcripts to see Wen Qiu.

After reading all the negotiation minutes, Wen Qiu said, “It seems they really want to make peace with Japan.”

“This only represents the main peace faction in the Kuomintang, these people are subjective and negative, they can only be considered as a minority, if most of them are in favor of making peace with Japan, then there is no need to contact the Japanese secretly like this.” Cheng Mo said.

“How do you judge?” Wen Qiu asked, he wasn’t asking blindly, Cheng Mo studied but political economy, he had the vision and ability to answer this question, for another person, he wouldn’t ask at all because the other person simply couldn’t answer.

“Some people have lived most of their lives, but they are still too naive.” Cheng Mo said.

“Childish, isn’t your word overused.” Wen Qiu laughed, he knew who Cheng Mo was talking about.

“We were overconfident in the past, and now we are blindly trusting others, the wisdom of our old ancestors is regarded as dross, how do you think this can still be played?”

Wen Qiu pondered carefully for a while and nodded: “Not to mention, what you said is quite reasonable, it seems that some people really want to take a step forward?”

“The sky wants to rain, the mother wants to marry, can’t stop it.” Cheng Mo said, “This is actually good, can completely coalesce the consensus of the country, do not have to be hamstrung again.”

“This thing, what are you going to do with it?”

“I brought it here to you, senior brother, just to let you send it away, and you’re asking me?” Cheng Mo gave a surprised cry.

“This document is too important, too secretive, once you send it away, you have to make sure it’s foolproof, otherwise if something goes wrong, then the consequences will be unbearable, have you thought about it.” Wen Qiu solemnly said.

“But, I can’t keep this, right?” Cheng Mo said, “Besides, on the military intelligence side, I also sent away Gao Qichang’s original.”

“In that case, I have to plan carefully, this must be delivered safely to the old home, and nothing can happen in the middle of the journey.” Wen Qiu said, “A reliable and dedicated person must be sent to deliver it.”

“Well, this is the best way.” Cheng Mo nodded.
