Traveling through the Republic of China to become a special agent, the system is very easy for me

Iwai Yuichi picked up the phone and said:

"I'm Iwai Yuichi."

The person on the other end of the phone said:

"Mr. Iwai, I have a piece of news for you. Mr. Wang from Yamashiro has secretly arrived in Shanghai today."

The call was from Iwai Yuichi's deputy, Taro Imai. As the representative of the Consul General, Taro Imai had been involved in negotiating the secret agreement between Japan and Wang Jingwei with Gao Zhongwu and Tao Xisheng, the representatives sent by Wang Jingwei in the early stage.

Gao Zhongwu was born in Zhejiang Province and studied in Japan for eight years in his early years. After graduating in 8 and returning to China, he taught political science at Nanjing Central University.

The following year, he became a special writer for Nanjing's Central Daily News and a professor at the Chinese Political School. He entered the diplomatic field in the early stages of the War of Resistance Against Japan and served as director of the Asian Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the National Government at the age of 29, specializing in diplomatic work with Japan. He was the youngest senior diplomatic official in the National Government at the time.

After Wang Jingwei defected, he began to follow Wang Jingwei.

Tao Xisheng was from Hubei. He studied at the Law Department of Peking University in his early years. In January 1927, he went to Wuhan, and served as a political instructor at the Wuhan Branch of the Central Military and Political School, director of the Military Law Department of the Central Independent Division of the National Revolutionary Army, director of the Propaganda Department of the Political Department of the Wuhan Branch, and editor-in-chief of the "Party Army Daily".

In 1928, he served as a senior political instructor at the Central Military Academy of the Kuomintang government in Nanjing and director of the Discipline Department of the Political Department. In December of the same year, he resigned and went to Shanghai to join the Kuomintang Reorganization Comrades Association led by Wang Jing.

After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War in 1937, he attended the Lushan Symposium and served as a member of the National Defense Council of the National Government. In 1938, he served as Secretary-General of the Literature and Art Research Association and Director-General of the Research Group in Wuhan. In July, he served as a member of the National Political Consultative Conference. In December, he fled to Hong Kong with Wang Jingwei and created public opinion for Wang's betrayal and surrender to the enemy.

Gao Zhongwu and Tao Xisheng were assigned by Wang Jingwei to go to Shanghai to negotiate the Japan-Wang secret agreement with the Japanese.

The person who presided over the secret negotiations on the Japanese side was Kagesa Tadaaki, chief of the military department of the Japanese General Staff.

He graduated from the Army Academy and Army University. He served as a resident officer in China at the General Staff of the Japanese Army invading China, a member of the China Section of the General Staff, deputy commander of the Chinese Garrison Army, squad leader of the China Section of the General Staff, and military attaché in Shanghai. He is known as an expert on China.

After the July 1938 Incident, he served as the head of the China Section and the Strategy Section of the General Staff. In 12, he served as the head of the Military Section of the General Staff, planning the establishment of the Wang Jingwei regime. In December of the same year, he directed the secret service to assist Wang Jingwei in escaping from Chongqing and surrendering to Japan.

The secret agreement between Japan and Wang negotiated by both sides included three annexes, namely, "Outline for Adjustment of New Japan-China Relations", "Principles for Adjustment of New Japan-China Relations", "Key Points for Adjustment of New Japan-China Relations", and "Annex to the Outline for Adjustment of New Japan-China Relations".

Its main contents are: recognition of the puppet state of Manchukuo and the support of the "three countries" of Japan, China and Manchuria.

The Inner Mongolian Autonomous Region (then Suiyuan, Chahar provinces and northern Shanxi Province), North China, the lower reaches of the Yangtze River and the islands of South China were designated as "Japan-China intensive integration zones" and were occupied by the Japanese army for a long time.

The Wang Puppet Government was supervised by Japanese advisers or staff from the central to the local levels.

The Wang Puppet Army and police were supplied with weapons and trained by Japan.

The Wang Puppet Government's financial and economic policies and its industrial, agricultural and transportation undertakings were controlled by Japan, and all resources were exploited at will by Japan.

All anti-Japanese activities are prohibited, etc.

Because this secret agreement was too traitorous, not only Gao Zhongwu and Tao Xisheng were somewhat dissatisfied, but even Wang Jingwei felt it was quite excessive. He kept hesitating and did not dare to agree immediately.

He knew that by agreeing to the secret agreement between Wang and Japan, he would confirm his status as a traitor before the people of the whole country, tear off his disguise of "saving the country", and arouse public outrage.

If he did not agree, the Japanese would not support him in establishing a new government, which put him in a dilemma.

In fact, he knew in his heart that he had no way out. If there was really no other way, he would have no choice but to agree.

So before this, Wang Jingwei still wanted to bargain and hoped that the Japanese could make some concessions, so the negotiations progressed very slowly.

As the negotiations had been at a stalemate, he decided to come to Shanghai in person to preside over the negotiations. His idea was that if the negotiations in Shanghai failed, he would go to Japan in person to hold talks with senior Japanese government officials in the hope of gaining their understanding.

In fact, Wang Jingwei had no choice but to come to Shanghai.

Hong Kong was under British control, and his subordinates such as Zhou Fuhai were restricted in their political activities in Hong Kong.

Guangzhou was occupied by the Japanese army. In order to avoid being seen as a puppet of the Japanese, he was unwilling to develop in Guangzhou.

Therefore, Shanghai became his only choice. Although assassinations by military agents in Shancheng were rampant in Shanghai, hiding in the Japanese Hongkou Concession was relatively safe under the protection of the Japanese.

So he secretly arrived in Shanghai on the Japanese warship "Hokuko".

After getting off the ship, they were taken directly to Jiangwan East Sports Road in Hongkou by Japanese military cars and lived in a villa arranged by the Japanese.

The villa was under strict security by the Japanese army.

Yuan Ye thought, this big traitor has come to Shanghai. This news should be reported to the fisherman. It is estimated that the Military Control Commission headquarters will know about it and will definitely plan an assassination.

However, this is no ordinary person. The Japanese side will definitely arrange the highest level of security measures to protect him. It is not easy to assassinate him.

Moreover, when he defected to Annan, Dai Yunong arranged for the Military Control Commission's top killer Chen Gongshu to lead a team to assassinate him, but they all failed.

After escaping the disaster, Wang Jingwei will be more cautious, and it will be even more difficult to assassinate him!
