Chapter 280 Let me die? Dream!
Are traitors classified into categories?
Of course, there are quite a few types.
The first category is all with consensus. In ancient times, people who had no father or ruler and turned against their ancestors. It seems that the Han officials in the Qing Dynasty were basically considered. Unfortunately, according to the development of history, the so-called Manchus actually had no characteristics, and 999% were no longer different from the Han people. In this case, in the Republic of China, the Manchus and Han had actually achieved nothing inseparable from the Han people. Then, at that time, except for a very small number of people, it was not so much that the Han people were not traitors.
The second category also has a consensus. They are people who do not have the concept of a country and nation, and who have milk is a mother. These people live for themselves, regardless of right or wrong, or morality... very "pure".
The third type is a group of helpless people, which are the so-called white-skinned and red-hearted people. These people may have been traitors for various reasons, in order to save their lives, or to be able to live, but in fact they are disgusted with their own identity and have basically never done anything bad, or try to restrain themselves from doing something bad.
The fourth category is that there is a concept of a country and nation, but for some reasons, they have different ideas about the current situation. They think that they can cooperate with the invaders and take the path of "save the country in a curve"... in a relatively mild way, they exchange certain losses for peace or national development. There are not many such people, but there are also many. Just like the Gaozongwu and Tao Xisheng mentioned earlier, they are very obvious examples. Most of these people are naive and easily deceived. Many times they also cause serious consequences. There are not many who can stop like Gao Tao and the others, and have the determination, and find opportunities to get out and eventually get rid of the hat of "traitor".
The fifth category is a type of person who values personal friendship more than the national and national justice. For example, Wang Jingwei's commander-in-chief of "Peaceful Rescue **", Tang Mang. This person is famous, and seems to be different from Cheng Qian, the commander-in-chief of the First War Zone of the National Government. He defected to him when Chiang Kai-shek was not yet reused. Although he had never been valued, he had a very deep qualifications. Originally, the traitor had nothing to do with him, but unfortunately he had a fellow villager named Zhou Fohai! Therefore, after Zhou Fohai's repeated instigation and winning over, he finally fell into the water and became a traitor, and was awarded the title of general, serving as the Central Supervisory Committee of the Wang Puppet Power, the commander-in-chief of the National Government, the commander-in-chief of the Military Commission, and the commander-in-chief of the Third Group Army. However, although he took up the pseudo-job post, Tang Mang was always guilty and depressed, and often said he was sick at home.
The sixth category also has the concept of a country and nation. But they put it under their own interests and sell out national interests for their own interests in actual actions. These are Wang Jingwei, Chen Gongbo, Zhou Fohai and others. These people are actually purely egoists, similar to the second type of traitors. The only difference is that they are knowledgeable and have a certain vision than the second type of traitors.
...
Therefore, Zhou Fohai is talented.
This is absolutely certain, but his talent cannot control his heart... that purely egoistic heart.
Qin Wei grasped this characteristic of him.
In history, after the turn of the Pacific War, Zhou Fohai decisively joined Dai Li's command and became a spy with Ding Mo Village. He was even assigned by Dai Li, who was the most blood-debt and the most arrogant Li Shiqun, together with Ding Mo Village and another traitor Xiong Jiandong, to plot against Li Shiqun, who was the most blood-debt and the most arrogant. Li Shiqun was poisoned by the Japanese military police's special high-level class. Li Shiqun died very miserably. Amoeba let him vomit and diarrhea, and the water in his body was excreted by vomiting and diarrhea. After a person died, the body shrank as big as a monkey.
Of course, Li Shiqun deserved it. But Zhou Fohai and Ding Mocun turned in time. After the victory of the War of Resistance, they not only did not get punished for their former betrayal, but also became high-ranking officials of the National Government. Especially Zhou Fohai, he became the recipient of Chiang Kai-shek, which caused an uproar in public opinion. But perhaps God was also unhappy at these people, so Dai Li had an accident... Because it was just a single-line contact, after Dai Li crashed and died, these traitors became prisoners again because they had no witnesses. Although Zhou Fohai finally turned from death to life, he did not live long and died in prison three years later. As for Ding Mocun, he could have been free for a lifetime, but because after asking for sick leave from Chiang Kai-shek, he went out to visit the lake and reported it to the newspaper. Chiang Kai-shek was furious and ordered the shooting directly... What lake do you want to visit when you are sick? Do you really think I like you?
From this, we can see the completely selfish character of Zhou Fohai and Ding Mocun.
Of course, the Pacific War had not broken out at this time, and even the war in Europe had not completely begun. However, you cannot change the nature of the speculators in Zhou Fohai and Ding Mo Village, nor can you deny their talents... These talents allow them to discover Japan's innate shortcomings only if they are given a point.
In addition to these two characteristics, these two people also have another characteristic: they are bold and timid! It is this timid that makes them choose to surrender when facing the Japanese invasion. It is also because of this boldness that they dare to betray the country. Although this characteristic makes them still afraid of the Japanese when they contact the National Government, they will also make them afraid of their future outcome and make corresponding actions.
So, this led to Xu Yuanju's trip to Shanghai.
...
"Mr. Zhou likes high-ranking officials and generous salaries very much." Zhou Fohai said that he had to think about it, but Xu Yuanju did not give him this time. "Otherwise, you would not have tried your best to instigate Wang Jingwei to negotiate with the Japanese, and eventually prompted him to board the plane leaving Chongqing... Otherwise, even if the Japanese occupy China one day, you, a not-so-important person, can survive safely without having to betrayal at all."
"What do you want to say?" Zhou Fohai asked coldly. Xu Yuanju's words really made him feel upset... What if the Americans really joined the war and extended their hands to China? If it were the past, he could still say that Japan was very strong to deceive himself and hinder himself from making the right choice. But the recent battles between the National Government and the Japanese have been very outstanding. This is a very important point. Although the Japanese and their propaganda in the occupied areas are towards the Japanese, he knew very well that the Japanese suffered heavy losses in these battles, unprecedented heavy losses, and Japan was still in a state of war with the Soviet Union... Chongqing actually had a glimmer of hope for victory. Although this glimmer of hope was still not big in his opinion, this "not big" was completely different than the original ones that seemed to have hope, and he couldn't help but be careful.
"I am not despising Mr. Zhou. Who doesn't love high-ranking officials? Just like me, I risked my life to come to Shanghai for high-ranking officials and high-ranking officials?" Xu Yuanju smiled and said, "I just want to tell Mr. Zhou and Mr. Ding that the result of timely help and icing on the cake is different."
"Do you want me to bow to Jiang now?" Zhou Fohai understood what Xu Yuanju meant.
"That's right." Xu Yuanqiao nodded.
"This is impossible." Zhou Fohai shook his head directly: "I can promise to communicate with Chongqing. But it is absolutely impossible to completely obey Lao Jiang's orders."
"Haha, I can see that Mr. Zhou is very careful about his safety. But I think I didn't say it clearly just now," Xu Yuanju smiled, revealing the big teeth that were extremely yellow because they had not brushed for several months. "Our request is not to make you bow to Chairman Jiang, but to return to Chongqing immediately!"
"What did you say?"
Zhou Fohai and Ding Mocun were shocked and almost forgot that they were in secret negotiations at this moment.
"What I said is that our request is not to ask the two to continue to stay under Wang Jingwei's command. Instead, we hope that the two will return to Chongqing immediately!" Xu Yuanju said seriously.
"Are you kidding?" Ding Mocun could not calm down. "We are going back to Chongqing at this time? How? If the Japanese and Nanjing find out, wouldn't it be a dead end?"
"One plane is enough. With the status of two people, after boarding the plane, you will fly directly to Ningbo and then turn back to Chongqing. Who can do anything to you?" Xu Yuan said.
"You...what do you want to do? Do you want to force me to death?" Zhou Fohai was angry. "If I can agree to communicate with you, I am already taking a huge risk. You even made such a request... Do you think Zhou Fohai is easy to bully? That's right. Everyone will split up! I want to see how you defeat the Japanese."
"When we defeat the Japanese, Mr. Zhou, you will have no chance to regret it." Xu Yuanju said coldly: "But if you return to Chongqing, you can at least clear the charge of traitor. Moreover, even if you take a step back and win, Japan will defeat you, you can still live in another country. With your relationship with Wang Jingwei and others, you will not be in danger of life. But if we defeat you, you will have a way out."
"Are you threatening me?" Zhou Fohai growled.
"That's right, it's a threat." Xu Yuanju came to him: "The order of our bureau chief: if you can't instigate the counter, you will kill him immediately! If you return now, you can still be forgiven, and you may get a high position. If you don't return, you won't get the same chance again. Because our bureau chief reported it to the chairman before the action, and the chairman agreed. In other words, if you don't make a choice now, you won't have to make another choice in the future. I believe you should be able to imagine what the chairman would look like when he makes this decision... He hates you and Wang Jingwei to the core."
"Do you think I'm scared?" Zhou Fohai gritted his teeth.
"I don't know if you are scared, but I know you will definitely be scared!" Xu Yuanju sneered: "But you should also know the reason why we made this request: we will not give you a double-faced opportunity! Want to speculate? There is no one at all!"
"As long as you leave this door, I can send someone to arrest you immediately..."
"So what?" Xu Yuanju smiled contemptuously: "If you catch me, you will have no way out, but I will still be released."
"Will you be released?" Ding Mocun was full of disbelief. He had contact with Xu Yuanju before, but he did not expect that the other party's conditions were so harsh. Return to Chongqing immediately... Then they have been in vain in these days in Shanghai? If nothing else, how can those wealth be easily handled? Moreover, doing so is equivalent to attracting all the Japanese anger to himself, and he will definitely encounter a lot of danger in the future. Therefore, he felt like he was being fooled: "You should be cut into pieces!"
"I will be cut into pieces? What a big joke." Xu Yuanju laughed disdainfully: "Okamura Niji is much more valuable than Xu Yuanju, how could the Japanese give up for me? If you want me to die, are you dreaming?"
