Old Movies of the Republic of China II

Qinghe is no stranger to this person in front of him.

He is tall and thin, unlike Wang Xinyi's sick and dry, he looks hale and hearty, and it is difficult to tell his age from his appearance alone.He was wearing a pair of glasses, carrying a civilization stick in his hand, his gray hair was combed meticulously, and his tie was neatly tied.

"Hello, Ziran." Ooka Sosuke held out his hand.

Qinghe said: "Sorry, I can't shake hands with you, I'm afraid of being stained with the blood of my compatriots."

Ooka Sosuke smiled casually: "Your Excellency is really humorous."

He withdrew his hand, motioned for Qinghe to sit down, and poured tea himself.

Qinghe was not deceived by his calm appearance, Ooka Shusuke was a person whom even Zhang Yishan was afraid of, and he was the notorious head of the Kanto Office. Under such circumstances, his appearance in Fengtian meant that Japan was about to make a big move .

"When the two countries are at war, your Excellency, as an important minister of the Japanese military, unexpectedly appeared in Fengtian majestically. It is too insolent."

"You and I don't talk about war," Ooka Sosuke pushed a cup of tea in front of Qinghe, smiled and said: "You are a businessman, we can talk about business."

Qing He thought it was ridiculous, didn't the Japanese side know about his relationship with Zhang Zheng?She actually wanted to win him over!

He said calmly: "Oh? I thought Fengtian no longer has any business with you Japanese."

Ooka Sosuke was not moved by the teasing and sarcasm in his words, and said lightly: "You didn't see it, it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Zi Ranjun, I know your past. You are from Tianjin and a student of Liyuan. You didn't have to step on it." into this muddy water."

Qinghe smiled and said: "Your Excellency's words are wrong. I never thought that I would be where I am today. If I am still in Tianjin, I must be living in pain."

Ooka Sosuke said: "It may be painful, but it is not life-threatening."

Qinghe asked in surprise: "Why did you say that?"

"In three years, the empire will definitely occupy the Northeast and occupy Fengtian," Ooka Sosuke said with compassion in his eyes, "At that time, in your capacity, you will definitely be sentenced to execution."

Qinghe picked up the small and exquisite teacup, put it to his lips and took a sip. Ooka Sosuke is a very particular person. The tea is good tea, slightly astringent in the mouth, with endless aftertaste; The collection of old objects of the Qing court is exactly the same.

I just don't know how Ooka got such a good thing.

Seeing that Qing He was noncommittal, Ooka Zuojie was not in a hurry, and said slowly: "You may not be familiar with politics and think that you can stay out of it, but what you don't know is that the imperial soldiers hate Zhang Yishan and Zhang Zheng and his son to the bone. Three thousand of our unarmed soldiers were massacred on the Ma Ling battlefield, and when Fengtian City is destroyed, we will not let anyone related to Zhang Zheng be spared, not to mention you have a very close relationship with him."

Qinghe put down the teacup, looked up at him at the same time, said with a half smile but not a smile: "Is there a lot of relationship?"

Ooka Zousuke sighed slightly, and said: "You don't need to test, I know everything about you, your relationship with Zhang Zheng, why you are recognized by Zhang Yishan as a son... and Zhang Yishan's attitude towards you. On the surface, he believes in you and thinks highly of you, but you and I both know that he has always been wary of you."

Qing He said: "I am an outsider after all."

His words sounded plain, but there was a bit of unwillingness in them after all.

— half-truths.

He doesn't have Wang Yongjiang's ability to overturn his hands and make clouds and rains, but he can also do a good job in his business. He attaches great importance to talents and dares to delegate power, but Zhang Yishan always entrusts him with insignificant tasks.

For Wang Yongjiang, he is dispensable.

Dagang said: "Marshal Zhang is old, he is too stubborn, this new era is not suitable for him."

Qinghe was puzzled: "New era?"

Ooka nodded: "Yes, the new era."

He talked eloquently: "I have always liked the Northeast. There are endless resources, a criss-crossing railway network, heavy industry is developed, and light industry is also developing. I am optimistic about the Northeast and do not want the war to destroy it. Zi Ranjun, You should know that a year ago, Japan planned to replace another head of the Kwantung Agency with stronger methods. He died at the hands of your agents. I am sorry but also grateful, because I think we have a better way to resolve the conflict."

After listening to him quietly, Qing He asked, "What do you think is a better way?"

Ooka Sosuke pressed his hands on the table and said firmly: "Cooperation!"

Qing He instantly understood that Ooka Sosuke was really an ambitious man, and he also regarded others as tools that had no feelings, no honor or disgrace, and only valued benefits.

He smiled and acted disapprovingly: "Your Excellency is joking? The commander-in-chief will never compromise."

Ooka Sosuke also laughed: "I admit that Marshal Zhang is an excellent general, but he is also a villain who doesn't talk too much. He deceives and uses the empire, and we will no longer trust him. I know you Chinese There is a saying, 'To be old and not die is to be a thief', perhaps Marshal Zhang is a thief today. Zi Ranjun is different from Zhang Zheng, he is still young, knows how to adapt, and keeps his promises."

Qinghe said: "Zhang Zheng hates Japan more than the commander in chief."

Ooka smiled: "That's why I invited you here. Zhang Zheng valued you so much that he even gave up his marriage for you. Maybe you can convince him to look forward—I forgot to tell you that when Zhang Zheng was killed Uncle's people are in this house, this is my heart."

Qinghe drank tea in a disguised way. He had never met Su Qiu, but the importance of this little uncle in Zhang Zheng's heart was self-evident.It was because of him that the seeds of hatred were planted in Zhang Zheng's heart in his youth.

Ooka Sosuke looked at him with confidence.

Qing He couldn't remain calm.

Over the years, Zhang Zheng has never forgotten Su Qiu's tragic death, and never gave up revenge.His enemy has a prominent status, he retreated from the body, and still lives a luxurious life in Japan.

"It's a great gift," he said.

Ooka raised his eyebrows, "This is my sincerity."

Qing He compromised: "I will tell Zhang Zheng...but I don't think he will force the commander-in-chief to go down."

Ooka sighed, shook his head and said, "Zi Ranjun, why are you still unable to figure it out? Zhang Zheng only needs to be our friend, and he will be the rightful master of the three eastern provinces. Even if the whole of China becomes the empire's spoils of war in the future, the Northeast will also be Stay independent."

The name is right and the word is right, the name is right and the word is right.

Qinghe stood up all of a sudden, looked down at Dagang, and said coldly: "What are you going to do to Dashuai?"

Dagang made a gesture to signal him not to get too excited, "Marshal Zhang is getting old, he should take a good rest, Zhang Zheng will take over his position sooner or later, it doesn't make any difference whether it's earlier or later."

Qinghe laughed back in pain. To Ooka Sosuke, the relationship between father and son seems to be nothing in the face of power. How could killing a father and "cooperating" with his son be so justifiable? !What a monster he was!

Dagang said: "Zi Ranjun, you are still young and don't understand the ambition of a grown man. Zhang Zheng is already 26 years old. Under the shadow of his father, he will never be able to truly make a contribution and leave a legacy for future generations to admire. Marshal Zhang , as far as we know, he is still in good health and will not give up his position for 20 years. Would you rather watch Zhang Zheng live in his shadow than help him?"

I have to say that Sosuke Ooka's words are very inspiring.

Qinghe was silent.

Ooka smiled slightly, "Zi Ranjun, think about it carefully, think about it. For you, what is the best choice, but for Zhang Zheng, it is not important to make some achievements."

Ooka bowed to him and walked out.

Qing He closed her eyes and meditated.

It is impossible for him to persuade Zhang Zheng to rebel, and it is impossible for Zhang Zheng to cooperate with the Japanese to betray his father.

Forced by the situation, perhaps he can only agree to Ooka Zuosuke's request first, as long as he can return to the commander's mansion and tell Zhang Yishan the whole matter from beginning to end, Zhang Yishan will not doubt him... even if he doubts, there is still Zhang Zheng.

However, things are not as simple as Qinghe thought.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the second guest of the day came to the mansion.

The moment he saw him, Qinghe understood Ooka Sousuke's sinister intentions... A newspaper editor who never lied, an interview with him, and a photo of him and Ooka were enough to make Fengtian fall into a trap... Another turmoil.

Qing He regretted that he was too scrupulous about public opinion and didn't lock this person up.

Li Qin took a notebook and sat down on the sofa opposite Qinghe. He adjusted his glasses and said, "Mr. Zhang, hello, I am Li Qin, the editor-in-chief of Zhengming News."

Ooka Sosuke sat on Qinghe's right hand with a smile, "Zi Ranjun, Mr. Li is a role model for all reporters. He never lies, never fabricates, and never creates something out of nothing. We can trust him and let him witness our story. friendship."

Li Qin nodded with a grimace, and said, "I guarantee that there will be no falsehood in the report."

"Of course the editor-in-chief Li Ziran can be trusted, but Mr. Ooka...do you believe me?"

Faced with Qinghe's questioning, Ooka Zuosuke said in twos and twos: "I just want everyone to know our friendship."

Qinghe sneered: "Oh? It turns out that your friendship is to push friends into the fire pit."

Ooka Zuosuke said calmly: "Mr. Li and I have a word first, and he will send out this report in a week. One week is enough."

Li Qin's eyes lit up.

He had a dull face that only brightened when he was excited.

In the few conversations between the former head of the Guandong Department and the son of Zhang Yishan, the patrol envoy of the three eastern provinces, he sensitively captured unusual information.

Li Qin held the pen tightly in his hand.

Qing He was silent for a moment, and said with a sneer: "Since Mr. Ooka is so worried, I don't think there is any need for this so-called cooperation."

"Ok?"

Li Qin looked at the faces of the two of them back and forth, guessing their thoughts.

Ooka Sosuke didn't seem to find it strange, he just sighed slightly and said: "Zi Ranjun, I'm very disappointed. But don't worry, I will give you some time, you think about it carefully, when you understand , let's talk again."

Li Qin put away his pen, feeling rather regretful.

Ooka Sosuke smiled at him, "Please also ask Mr. Li to stay here for a few days, and when he thinks it through, you can still conduct interviews."

Li Qin was already mentally prepared before he came. He is an idealist and is willing to give everything for his pursuit.

He nodded and followed a bodyguard out.

Qing He watched coldly.

He knew that he would not "figure it out".
