Chapter 991: Give in to others
“Yes, teacher, it’s today’s newspaper. I just brought it to wrap the sesame cakes.” Cheng Qianfan smiled and said casually, “The new newspaper is clean.”
There are slight oversights in details, which is not a problem, because no one can be absolutely error-free.
Cheng Qianfan is usually so cautious in order to reduce the number of mistakes in details. After all, the fewer mistakes, the better.
Once there is a detail that has not been noticed, what you have to do is to give the most timely, accurate and reasonable response:
It means to avoid unreasonable details with reasonable explanations.
When a problem occurs, as long as you don't panic and respond quickly enough, you can basically deal with it properly. At least you won't be suspected at that moment on the spot.
When it comes to this kind of thing, I'm most afraid that I have a ghost in my heart and will become nervous.
Perhaps Hyōtaro Imamura just asked this question casually and didn't think much about it. However, if he looked strange because of something evil in his heart, this would be the most fatal thing.
Walking on the wire rope has become a life habit for Cheng Qianfan. His answer was very casual:
Miyazaki Kentaro is concerned about food hygiene and uses new newspapers to wrap sesame seed pancakes. This is a very legitimate reason.
…
“Kentaro is determined.” Imamura Hyoutarou said with a smile.
After all, the sesame cake stall does not use new newspapers to wrap them. He noticed this detail and asked casually. This was out of a careful habit and professional inertia.
What he likes most is Kentaro Miyazaki's attitude towards him, respectful, respectful, and at the same time sincerely close.
“This man still has the weak soul of a poet in his heart.” Hyōtaro Imamura suddenly said.
"What did the teacher say?" Cheng Qianfan poured himself a cup of tea and was drinking tea comfortably. He asked subconsciously because he "didn't hear clearly" what Hyoutaro Imamura said.
"Kentaro, your Chinese literary literacy is also good. Please evaluate this poem." Hyoutaro Imamura handed the newspaper in his hand to Kentaro Miyazaki and said.
"Poetry?" Cheng Qianfan took the newspaper and read it, and immediately showed a look of surprise. "The teacher was talking about this poem by Wang Chuanhai. The student had read it a few times before and didn't pay much attention to it."
“Now analyze this poem.” Teacher Imamura began to preach, and he said seriously, “Kentaro, you must remember that there is an old saying in China that poetry expresses aspirations. From a poem like this, we can analyze a lot.”
"However, as far as I know, many poets are good at disguise. Taking Li Shen, who wrote "Compassion for the Farmers" as an example, he is actually a luxurious, domineering, arrogant and cruel person." Cheng Qianfan thought.
"No." Hyōtaro Imamura shook his head, "Just take the example you mentioned, Kentaro. If you know Li Shen's true face, and then taste "Compassion for the Farmers", how will you feel differently?"
“The whitewash of the literati, two faces.” Cheng Qianfan thought for a while and said.
Hyoutaro Imamura nodded slightly, meaning, isn't this the result of a tasteful study of this poem?
“Students understand.” Cheng Qianfan’s expression was serious, his attitude was sincere and respectful, “Poems express aspirations, whether they are real aspirations or disguised, they all have their research value.”
As he spoke, he quietly read the poem pointed out by Hyōtaro Imamura from the newspaper in his hand.
…
According to the pseudo-central government organ "China Daily", this was Mr. Wang who was worried about his country and his country on the plane from Shanghai to Japan:
Mr. Wang overlooked the broken mountains and rivers and recited a poem to express his infinite emotion at that time -
The territory is spread across acres of green fields, with seedlings like water and trees like moss;
The old farmer's strength has been exhausted, leaving the Sichuan plains to bloom.
“Tsk.” Cheng Qianfan sneered.
"What?" Imamura Hyōtaro looked at his favorite student with interest.
"Throughout this poem, it is filled with emotion, old farmer? Is Wang Chuanhai comparing himself to the old farmer who worked for China?" Cheng Qianfan smiled contemptuously.
“What about the last sentence?” Hyōtaro Imamura did not comment on Kentaro Miyazaki’s analysis, although from his point of view, the old farmer in Wang Chuanhai’s poem is more like a metaphor for China’s poor and weak national power.
"The last sentence is okay." Cheng Qianfan said objectively, "According to the newspaper, this is a poem written by Wang Chuhai on the plane to the Empire. This sentence should be a reflection of this person's desire to 'reopen the mountains and rivers'. expectations.”
When he talked about ‘reopening mountains and rivers’, his tone was a little more serious, and the contempt in his words was not concealed at all.
Not only that, Cheng Qianfan even said to Imamura Hyotarō in a tone of ridicule of Wang Qianhai, "Teacher, Mr. Wang is not really naive to think that the empire worked hard to occupy China, and then gave it to him. Bar?"
Hyōtaro Imamura laughed at first, then he shook his head and said pointedly, "That is a literary politician with a romanticism and a pessimistic soul."
Since the vice-president of the Kuomintang fled Yucheng and issued a public statement of peace, senior imperial diplomats including Hyoutaro Imamura have paid more attention to studying Wang Reclamation.
Among them, Hyotaro Imamura took a different approach and started from Wang's poems and articles.
…
In the opinion of Hyōtaro Imamura, Wang Qianhai has the sentimentality of a literary man in his heart.
I would like to take as an example a poem written by Wang Chuhai in the 12th year of the Taisho period of the empire.
This poem is called:
Huanxi Sha—
Far away from Qingming, close to Hualan, the gulls are flying and I don’t know how to return. The mausoleum is high and the blue waves are wide.
The jade sky is fresh and clear after the new rain, and the green mist melts into the sunset. Sure enough, there is peace in the world.
The whole poem has a very bright note, which is just like Wang Chuanhai's state of mind at this time.
Wang Chuhai was highly regarded by Sun Yat-sen at this time, and was entrusted to go to Fengtian to hold talks with Zhang Yuting on his behalf, which can be said to be high-spirited.
In a blink of an eye, it was rumored that a woman with whom he was closely related was mentally stimulated and committed suicide under the pressure of Mrs. Wang. Wang Chuanhai's spirit was greatly hit, and his writing seemed to be lonely and lonely.
In Hyotaro Imamura’s view, this is obviously unqualified for a politician who is a young representative of an important party in a big country.
Hyotaro Imamura therefore focused on his research on Wang Takumi’s character in his research report on Wang Takumi submitted to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs:
They are indecisive, sentimental, and have ridiculous romantic thinking. At the same time, they will quickly become pessimistic once they encounter setbacks.
Furthermore, he judged that Wang Chuanhai had a weak character and was suspicious and repetitive.
Through the study of Wang Chuanhai's poems and articles, Imamura Hyōtaro came up with a character analysis report on the second-ranking figure of the Kuomintang, which attracted the attention of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. This is also one of Imamura Hyōtaro's most proud 'academic studies' in recent years. one.
It is precisely because of this that Cheng Qianfan deliberately chose the layout of Wang Chuhai's poem to wrap the sesame seed cakes, just to attract the attention and conversation of Hyōtaro Imamura.
Yes, it’s just about talking.
Hyoutaro Imamura obviously liked the topic caused by this Wang Takumi poem. He started the class in a lively manner and explained his analysis and research results on Wang to his disciples.
Cheng Qianfan did not mention Wang Shuhai’s previous secret negotiations with the Japanese in Tokyo, Japan.
He found another way, or to be more precise, he followed his own preferences without leaving any trace—following the research results of Hyōtaro Imamura:
The focus is on Wang Chuanhai’s character as the topic.
…
"Can the empire really trust such a literary politician who has no courageous political determination and is sentimental at the same time?" Cheng Qianfan frowned and raised his own question, "Teacher, you also said that this person has a simple and ridiculous personality. Romantic soul—"
He looked at Hyōtaro Imamura, "My feeling is that this man really thinks that the empire will give up the occupied areas after he forms a new regime."
"Kentaro, I'm glad you can think of this." Hyoutarou Imamura nodded slightly, "Your feeling is right."
He chuckled, "In fact, the empire was very distrustful of Wang Kehai at the beginning."
From Hyōtaro Imamura’s eloquent talk and from the words of a senior Japanese diplomat, Cheng Qianfan captured at close range the ambivalent attitude of the Japanese, or rather the Japanese cabinet and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, towards Wang Reclamation.
The most acute point of this contradictory attitude is:
Not enough trust.
First of all, the Japanese were suspicious of the new regime proposed by Wang Kehai.
Hyoutaro Imamura’s lectures, students who listened carefully have their own understanding:
The Japanese have always been confused about the nature of the new regime that Wang is planning.
Perhaps it is because the Japanese themselves like to engage in "conspiracies". Of course, they themselves believe that this is the strategy of a great power.
To this day, there is still a voice within Japan, and they even doubt whether Wang Kehai’s defection and establishment of a new central government was a conspiracy:
Is this a conspiracy between the Wang family and Chang Kaishen?
In other words, from the beginning, some people within the Ministry of Foreign Affairs were deeply skeptical about this.
From Hyōtaro Imamura’s mouth, Cheng Qianfan learned that Iwai Eiichi was also doubtful and vigilant about this.
Eiichi Iwai even had a special meeting with Mr. Akira Kage.
Yingzuo Zhenzhao, who has always been in close contact with Wang Quanhai, even admitted that "the concerns of some people in the empire" are "not impossible."
“Teacher, do you think it is possible that Wang Chuanhai and Chang Kaishen are colluding?” Cheng Qianfan refilled Hyoutaro Imamura’s tea cup and asked for advice.
"There is no answer." Hyōtaro Imamura shook his head, "Maybe there is, maybe there is not."
His expression was solemn, "China has a long history. This huge country has a long history of wars. Wars are accompanied by strategies, and any situation is possible."
"Have you ever..." Cheng Qianfan refilled his tea cup and said casually, "We'll find out after we check."
Hyoutaro Imamura nodded thoughtfully, Miyazaki Kentaro's words moved his heart.
His research report is more academic. If you want to achieve further breakthroughs and value realization, you can work **** specific facts.
…
No. 313, Aitang Road, French Concession.
This is an apartment building.
Room 306 on the third floor.
Che Luwang coughed several times in succession. He stood up and opened the door and window.
Several people were playing mahjong, and they were all heavy smokers. The room was filled with smoke, which was really choking.
"Six cakes." Zu Yingbai touched a card, rubbed it with his hand, glanced at his mahjong tiles, and threw the card out depressedly.
“It’s confused!” Li Wanmao, who was holding a pipe in his mouth, pushed the mahjong tiles, rubbed his hands, and laughed loudly, “God is waiting for this tile.”
As he spoke, he glanced in front of Zu Yingbai and asked, "Are you out of money?"
Zu Yingbai didn’t say anything. He took out an envelope directly from his pocket and slapped it on the table.
Che Luwang glanced at Zu Yingbai. He recognized the envelope and immediately knew that it contained funds that had just been distributed. To be precise, they were funds for the activities of the fourth detachment of Zu Yingbai's action brigade.
However, Che Luwang didn't say much.
He just glanced at Li Wanmao, who was sitting opposite him.
Li Wanmao is the chief inspector of the Shanghai District. Even though Che Luwang is now the special commissioner of the Shanghai District, this is just a false title. In fact, the boss of the Shanghai District is Li Wanmao.
To some extent, Li Wanmao, the inspector general, has greater power than Zheng Lijun, the mayor of Shanghai District.
Li Wanmao took a drag on his pipe and sighed happily, as if he didn't see the envelope Zu Yingbai slapped on the table.
Yu Zhengze, who was sitting on the right side of Li Wanmao, had a cigarette in his mouth and turned a blind eye to this.
Inspector Li didn't say anything. As the captain of the operations team, he was nosy, and Zu Yingbai was his subordinate and had always been very filial to him.
Of course, the most important thing is that as a remnant of the former Shanghai Station Chief Wang Tiemu, Yu Zhengze's current position within the Shanghai District is somewhat embarrassing. Shanghai District Chief Zheng Lijun uses him but does not trust him, so he is actively asking Li Wanmao If you get closer, Li Wanmao will naturally follow Li Wanmao's lead.
Otherwise, he would be busy playing cards with Li Wanmao and firing up cannons frequently?
…
Yu Zhengze’s lips moved, the cigarette ashes fell, and he muttered, “Why haven’t the girls come yet?”
Having played mahjong for three rounds, he was a little dissatisfied because the girls who were playing with him hadn't arrived yet.
"No need to wait." Li Wanmao glanced at Yu Zhengze, "I didn't let you come over."
As he spoke, he arranged the cards slowly but skillfully with one hand, took off the pipe with his right hand and placed it on an ivory fighting plate on the table. He glanced at the other three people and said lightly: "You can play mahjong, women. ,Never mind."
"Yes." Che Luwang immediately agreed, "It's better to stay away from the crowds and other people. The Japanese have good noses."
As he said that, he picked up a towel and wiped the sweat from his forehead, "I have heard in Chongqing that the idiots in the hands of Mr. Xue were picked up by the Japanese when they were looking for women to play mahjong."
As he spoke, he smiled, "Boss Dai heard about this and the person who scolded Xue Yingzhen is indeed a fool."
He lowered his voice and winked, "Boss Dai even ate two extra bowls of dinner."
Everyone laughed, and Yu Zhengze almost died from laughter.
For military commanders, there is nothing more enjoyable than making jokes about central commanders.
It’s a joke on Zhongtong, this is political correctness.
