Chapter 674 War Breaks Out

"I heard that Wang Tianfeng was transferred away, and Chen Gongshu, who assassinated Wang Zhaoming in Hanoi, was transferred here. Will you follow Chen Gongshu in the future?"

This was the third day after the cocktail party. Wang Yan asked Yu Manli, who was sitting opposite and eating.

"Are you so well-informed? Do you know all the changes within the military command?"

Wang Yan laughed and shook his head: "Ever since Wang Tianfeng sent you to my bed, you have become useless. In addition to being a convenient mouthpiece between me and the military commander, the rest is to deal with the affairs of my school for workers' children. Take my You can enjoy the prosperity of Shanghai and join the club. Can you still shoot? Can you kill with one hit? You were so mesmerized by the glitz and glamor of Shanghai that you didn’t listen and didn’t even think about it?

You have met Mao Qiwu. We have some good personal relationships. Zheng Jiemin and I also have some friendships. This is the leader of the upper echelon of your military command. Tian Biao, who used to follow Wang Tianfeng and was responsible for liaison with me, was transferred back to the Chongqing headquarters to work in the second logistics department because of the previous joint prison robbery operation with the Red Party and the assassination of Major Zhang Xiaolin Gongsheng. This is considered a middle-level position.

The most important thing is that there are some things that the military commander's actions in Shanghai require the cooperation of the Youth Gang. Although I am a mascot in name only, it does not mean that I am really at the mercy of Dai Yunong and Du Yong. Previously, because of the incident involving the Red Party, the Special High School was so angry that they had nowhere to vent their anger and arrested three people. You know this. Now they listen to me. What are you talking about that I don't know? "

Wang Yan was injured when he rescued Song Xiwen earlier and asked the fortune teller Master Zhao to cover him, so he really opened a primary school for workers' children, and he opened twelve schools at once. All the industries he controls, including Yonghua Industrial, instant noodle factory, beverage factory, Qinglian Bank, rickshaw company, restaurants, hotels, casinos, and even Qinggang members, etc., as long as they work in Shanghai, they can send their children to Go to primary school for four years, which can be regarded as eradicating illiteracy.

Yu Manli used to be a Chinese teacher at a Catholic primary school. She had nothing serious to do all day long. Apart from attending a few classes, the rest was to join the club, or go out and spend money with the rich lady friends she had made. So Wang Yan left the school affairs to her. These twelve schools were basically built by Yu Manli. She does all the messy things like finding a place, recruiting teachers, ordering tables, chairs, and setting up courses.

Of course, she didn't do it by herself. Participation in the society cannot be in vain, and progress cannot be in vain. She found many young intellectuals to participate. So the composition of those teachers can be imagined.

This is not entirely because of Yu Manli. Of course, she must have subjectively wanted to squeeze people into Wang Yan's men. After all, Wang Yan's men are the safest in Shanghai. But on the other hand, it was Wang Yan who took the initiative to report his plan to the leaders. The teachers in the twelve schools were not so busy at work on weekdays, so they were good concealers behind enemy lines. The leader even asked him to open a junior high school and a high school. Those students are the main patriotic force.

It's also being prepared, it's just the right one. He attended his workers' children's school for elementary school, middle school and high school. After college, he could directly go to Datong to further his studies. Money is not a problem. He is very wealthy now. After all, prices in the Soviet area have been suppressed...

Yu Manli curled her lips and said: "Wang Tianfeng didn't say anything. He only said that there was a new superior, but no one made it clear to me. He just asked me to pay attention to the secret code agreed before, and the new superior would contact me when the time comes. ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Wang Yan understood that Wang Tianfeng had put Yu Manli's relationship into Minglou's hands.

Wang Tianfeng was the most value-conscious person. He believed that Minglou was more valuable than him when he was alive, so he died. He thought that Yu Manli's relationship would be valuable if given to Minglou, so he gave it to her.

Seeing that Wang Yan just nodded and said no more, she asked curiously: "Do you know any other news related to Juntong? Let me hear it? I have been training since I joined Juntong, and after training I was sent to your place. I knew that the military commander was called the military commander, but I didn’t even know which way the door opened..."

This was a bit pitiful to say, especially when matched with her big, helpless eyes. But this is the normal state of underground workers, especially those with a single line of contact like her, who do not know any unnecessary information.

The same is true for the Red Party. Many people have spent their entire lives fighting for national liberation and the great ideal of communism. They are lonely and no one understands them, and they have nowhere to express their inner thoughts. When they meet with comrades, they always talk about how it is ‘organizationally’, but they have never seen the organization. The hope of their struggle lies in Yan'an, but most of them have never been to Yan'an in their entire lives. They are developed in various situations and they fight in various environments.

They danced on the tip of the knife, not knowing which one would come first, tomorrow or the accident. But Yan'an has thousands of different faces in their hearts.

"Then let me tell you something interesting. Have you heard of Wu Qiren?"

Wang Yan looked at Yu Manli, who was full of curiosity and shook her head ignorantly, and said, "It's okay, don't be upset. You are a soldier working hard at the front. It's good to know Chiang Zhongzheng and Dai Yunong. Wu Qiren is a member of the Central Committee of the Kuomintang and has served in the Central Committee The deputy director of the Organization Department is the absolute top of your Kuomintang. In terms of rank, he is a head higher than the military commander Dai Yunong. He was influenced by Wang Zhaoming's treason and his intention to establish a pseudo-National Government with the Japanese, and even held the Sixth National Congress of the Kuomintang openly. , Chiang Kai-shek sent Wu Qiren to work in Shanghai.

Served as a standing member and secretary-general of the Shanghai Municipal Unification Committee, supervising the party affairs work of various southeastern provinces and cities. I won’t mention the supervision of the Southeast. I will only talk about one city and one place in Shanghai. This Wu Qiren was fully responsible for the party, government, army, and regiments in Shanghai, revitalizing party affairs and underground work, and presiding over underground anti-Japanese activities. In other words, he is the top leader and the first person in charge of the Kuomintang in Shanghai. He can control the Shanghai station of military unification and central unification, and can mobilize the loyal and national salvation army around Shanghai. According to the Manchus, he is the imperial envoy. "

Yu Manli didn't know why: "What does such a big person have to do with you?"

"I just said that if the military commander wants to do things in Shanghai, he needs the cooperation of the Youth Gang. Do you think Wu Qiren, the secretary of the Shanghai Unification Committee, does not need the help of the Youth Gang? But he didn't come to me. After all, he has no friendship with me. He just lets people He sent me a letter and roughly wrote the reason. It was a courtesy to the dock and a greeting, asking me to be more sensible in the future and not to ruin their actions. Then he didn't come to me, so you said he was. Who can I find?"

..."Du Yong?"

Yu Manli thought for a moment and said Du Yong's name. She didn't know anything else. The situation in Shanghai was still very clear, and she knew even better about the leader of the Green Gang sleeping on the same bed. In Shanghai now, the only people who can compete with Wang Yan are the two political parties, the Japanese, and foreigners. Recently, there has been a Wang Puppet Group. No one can resist Wang Yan. Only Du Yong, who fled to Hong Kong, was competing with Wang Yan for the power of the Green Gang. Or to put it another way, Wang Yan is challenging the authority of Du Yong, the long-established leader of the Youth Gang, and is challenging Du Yong to death.

Wang Yan drank and ate food, and nodded with a smile: "Finally, he was smart, and it was Du Yong. This Wu Qiren had an old relationship with Du Yong in the early years, and they had a very good personal relationship. This time he was transferred to Shanghai to borrow the power of this old friend. . Because of this, Du Yong became a standing member of this committee, and your Director Dai is also a standing member. So, my trouble came again. The situation is a coincidence, but I have to say that this old boy Du Yong is very lucky..."

"Then you are asking for trouble." Yu Manli said with a smile: "If you don't want to unify the Youth Gang, then you and Du Yong have no conflict. Now you are trying to seize Du Yong's power, and he won't let go. It’s not like we’re stuck here.”

"Life is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. When you have the opportunity, you must seize it. You have to know that there is no retreat for people like me. If I retreat, what will the tens of thousands of workers under me eat and drink? What will they eat and drink? Those people under my command are all at risk of losing their lives. If I retreat, they will not be able to eat. What do you think I will do?

When that time comes, these are the people who will kill me first. There are also the Japanese and Wang Zhaoming. I have lost power. Do you think they will let me go? When it comes to me, it’s no longer something I don’t think about. There are too many people and too many things pushing me behind my back. I can’t stop even if I want to.

This old boy Du Yong is different. He has already fled to Hong Kong. How about retreating and living a comfortable old age? He still has a good reputation. After all, he has resisted Japan and contributed to the country and the nation. It’s not like me who is scolded by future generations. But this man never has a moment of contentment. If he refuses to give up his love for power and even wants to continue to be promoted, then that is his fault. Old-timers, don’t give up positions and opportunities to young people, so I have to take them myself. "

"It sounds like you are so right. Is there no one behind Du Yong to push him away? If you don't listen to your great truths, you will always blame other people's problems. I finally understand. This person is talking about other people. This is not good and that is not okay. When it comes to yourself, it is still the same as others. "

Wang Yan nodded with a smile: "You're right. I really blamed you wrongly. With this understanding, you won't be too bad in the future."

"We are all going to be slaves to the country's subjugation. A person as big as Wang Zhaoming has defected to the Japanese. What can we do if we are not bad? Let's live one day at a time..."

Wang Yan shook his head and said nothing. She knew that Yu Manli meant that if she really had no faith, why would the Red Party develop her? Although she is indeed the person around him, if Yu Manli herself is not good, then not everyone in the Red Party wants her...

Wu Qiren's arrival did cause some trouble for Wang Yan. The Youth League, which had been quiet for a long time, became noisy again, except of course the three people he saved. It was good that they were alive and they had no right to speak at all.

He didn't attack those in the Youth League, it wasn't that he couldn't. It was just because he didn't really want to unify the Qing Gang that he didn't take action. Otherwise, how could he, a big inhuman beast, be used to those people's problems?

The unified Youth Gang is different from the fragmented Youth Gang. If they are really unified, what will the Japanese say? What do the two parties say? Even if he doesn't do something, he won't let him go. If he does something, he won't let him go. Because if you want to do something, you have to have a bias. Which side does he prefer?

Now the Youth League is not unified. Although those people are not very capable or bold, they are doing anti-Japanese things and providing help to the anti-Japanese people.

He can't help on the surface, and he can't hold him back.

So why does he keep fussing over it? Du Yong was so worried that his hair was falling out and he couldn't sleep well?

Because he wants the right to speak, he wants people to listen to him, and it is also to pave the way for the future. The fact that there is no way to unify now does not mean that there will be no unification in the future. The little Japanese have been driven away, and it is time for him, Wang, to step forward. The struggle has not stopped, and he must have a higher position and do more things. He secretly infiltrates the power of others behind the scenes. This is a long-term action to prepare for future troubles.

So this time when Wu Qiren came, he ignored the unrest caused by the Youth League. After all, Wu Qiren had already greeted him first, his status was indeed high, and the words in the letter were very polite, so it didn't matter if he backed off on the surface. But he still holds power in the Youth League. The three parties are one aspect, and Liu Yitong is still there. He speaks as the mascot of the Youth League, and someone listens to him. His opinions are to be considered, which is enough.

Compared with Wang Zhaoming and Zhou Fuhai, this little thing about the Youth League is not worth mentioning at all.

September 1st is not a good day.

On this day, Wang Zhaoming sent a telegram to comrades at home and abroad.

This telegram stated that ‘the declaration shows that domestic peace cannot be maintained without eradicating the red disaster; peace in East Asia cannot be maintained without cooperating with Japan; and peace in East Asia cannot be maintained without enhancing friendship with all countries. ... There is only a relatively simple and feasible method. If the armed comrades at the front can reveal the ideas of peace, anti-communism, and nation-building, they can not only preserve their original military strength and unlost land, but also echo our peace movement externally and promote the decline of dictatorial and communist forces internally. There is no better way to achieve the quickest effect. ’

The intention is to write simply and clearly. ‘Eradicate the red disaster’ means to strike the Red Party, and ‘cooperate with Japan’ means to be willing to be a puppet of Japan. His ‘relatively simple and feasible method’ is to win over the soldiers fighting against Japan on the front line and other people from the two parties to join his army, so that everyone can work with the Japanese to attack Chongqing and destroy Yan’an.

Of course, no one believed it. This was all for fools to see...

On this day, at 4:40 in the morning, the German Air Force bombed Polish towns. At 4:45, the German Army invaded Poland from the north, south and west.

Germany dispatched 58 divisions, 2,800 tanks, 2,000 aircraft and 6,000 artillery pieces to start the war against Poland. Similarly, it also opened a new page in the world history books to record this greedy ambition that could not be contained, and to accommodate countless crying and crying innocent souls...

On September 3, due to the failure of mediation, France, Britain and Commonwealth member states officially declared war on Germany!

As for the outbreak time of World War II, experts and scholars have not reached a unified conclusion. Some believe that it was the German blitzkrieg on Poland on September 1, 1939, some believe that it was the full-scale war between China and Japan on July 7, 1938, and some believe that it was the Japanese invasion of Northeast China on September 18, 1931.

There is no doubt that most Chinese people believe that the beginning of World War II was on September 18, 1931. However, in the movie "The Hundred Regiments Offensive", there is a clearer conclusion on this.

In the movie, there is a conversation between the bald man and Lin Sen.

Lin: When did we start the anti-Japanese war?

Jiang: In the 26th year of the Republic of China, but if we count from September 18th, we have been fighting for a full ten years.

Lin: It was in the 21st year of the Guangxu period. That year, the Qing government ceded Taiwan to Japan. That year, I joined the anti-Japanese army in Taiwan. That was when the Chinese Lin Sen started to fight against Japan! I have fought this war for a full 45 years!

The 21st year of the Guangxu period was 1895 in the Western calendar. In this year, the Qing Dynasty signed the humiliating "Treaty of Shimonoseki" because of its defeat in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, ceding Taiwan Island and its affiliated islands, the Penghu Islands, and the Liaodong Peninsula to Japan.

Wang Yan strongly agrees with this statement.

But no matter what, the war that affected the world and caused the death of tens of millions of people has begun...

Xue Lihua Road, Central Police Station, in Egg's office, the foreign devil is still the same, holding a cigar and drinking wine, looking lazy.

Wang Yan asked: "Your country has declared war on Germany, you don't seem to be worried?"

"What is there to worry about? As a defeated country, I don't believe that Germany will be France's opponent. What's more, France has England as an ally, and the United States has also intervened. How can Germany be rampant? What's more, declaring war is a declaration of war, and a large-scale war has not really started. Wang, you know, sometimes declaring war is just a threat. Just like this gun, declare war, it is loaded, and the bullets are ready to go at any time. It depends on what Germany chooses."

What a proud and arrogant French gentleman...

But Egg is right in saying that declaring war is a declaration of war, and the war has not really started. The British and French coalition forces did not fight at all. It was just a lot of thunder and little rain, and they were just trying to scare Germany. They thought that Germany should be afraid of them because of their large numbers and power, and should give in normally. At the very least, they should stop after defeating Poland. But they didn't expect that the art student drove the German tank and was determined to take back everything they lost in World War I, and more. He was not afraid of the large numbers and power, and he wanted to defeat them.

What Egger didn't know was that France, which he was proud of, was not strong. It did last for a long time since the declaration of war. But that was because Germany didn't reach there. When Germany really started to attack France, the great France only lasted for forty days...

What could Wang Yan say? He could only smile and nod: "You are right, then I wish the great France victory."

Egg laughed and didn't care. In fact, he is not afraid of war in France, because his family is still somewhat capable. Although it is good to win, defeat will not have much impact on their family. Just like the Japanese use China to control China now, Germany will also use law to control law.

He shook his head and sighed: "It seems now that Mitchell made the wrong choice. He finally managed to return to France to retire, but now the situation in Europe is tense and a war may break out at any time. He should regret it now, right?"

"Sorry, Iger, I have to interrupt you." Wang Yan sighed and said with some pity: "You should not think about Mitchell now, but about our business. Now that Europe is at war, the impact on prices "It's huge. If Europe raises the price and then ships it to China, the price will inevitably be higher. How can my poor compatriots who have been devastated by the war afford it?"

Egg frowned and said: "Why you and not us?"

"I just make less money. As you know, I spent half a year researching and found out that the sales of instant noodles and drinks are good. And I also cooperated with the Japanese to sell their products to the Kuomintang-controlled areas and Soviet areas. In addition, I also conducted research on the Red Party I sell the penicillin on a consignment basis, but the supply exceeds the demand. I heard that Pfizer in the United States is doing research, but I haven't heard anything about it yet. If there is a war in Europe, the price of penicillin will definitely skyrocket again. I might make a fortune."

"Oh, damn." Iger looked like he was about to die, slumped on the sofa, and said with a sad face: "You make money, I lose money, I feel so uncomfortable. Wang, we are best friends, you have a way, right?"

"There is no good way. Apart from giving you some penicillin share, what else can I do?"

"That's good, that's good. Wang, you'd better tell me your plans in the future, otherwise my heart won't be able to bear it, and you will lose such a good friend of mine."

Wang Yan laughed and said nothing. Ige is a good person, but he is a foreign devil after all. If it weren't for these reasons, would Wang Yan give them money? Just kidding, according to his ethics, if he doesn't rob these foreign devils, that's just a mercy on his part. Of course, he would still make friends with foreign devils without delay. It's as if they are friends now and don't delay him from sending money. Isn't it just Egger who is robbing him of his money?

He drank a glass of wine, stood up and said, "Okay, you can enjoy your life. I'm just here to see if you're okay. If you have something else to do, I'll leave first."

"What's the matter? Are you busy so early?"

In fact, it's already half past eight, which is regular working time, but none of them are working people...

Wang Yan said helplessly: "What else could it be? Of course it's Wang Zhaoming's matter. The Japanese helped them form a government, and you think I can run away? These people have been looking for me every day recently. It's not enough if I don't go, otherwise Not to mention them, the Japanese can't even explain it. The Economic Department organized it today. They found a talent who came back from abroad to serve as the director. This person is still my neighbor. He just took office and invited businessmen from Shanghai to attend the meeting. Let’s discuss the future of Shanghai’s economy. As the richest person in Shanghai, I can’t even drive without me. It will take a while.”

"It's better than before. Look at you now, asking for trouble..."

Iger mumbled about drinking, but he was thinking about making money. That was his life...
