Chapter 1867: The Gold Medal of Avoidance
On August 28, 1941, Meng Baifeng was officially appointed by Wang Jingwei as Minister of Youth Department of Wang Puppet Government!
At this point, Meng Baifeng held the two important positions of President of the Judicial Yuan and Minister of the Youth Department of the Wang Puppet Government.
This time he was able to successfully obtain this position, relying on the recommendation of Japanese Minister Aoi Shigemitsu and the full support of General Hayabusa Kamijo of the Japanese Military Police Headquarters in Nanjing.
At the same time, within the Wang Puppet Group, Chen Gongbo also became Meng Baifeng's ally.
The candidates recommended by Zhou Fohai and Li Shiqun were assigned elsewhere.
The reason why Meng Baifeng was able to take this position was that, in addition to his own performance in Nanjing, two other people also played crucial roles.
One is Meng Shaoyuan, who directed the dramatic twist in the brother murder case at Huamei Pharmacy in Shanghai!
One is Ren Yinghao, who continues to provide financial support to Meng Baifeng!
Being the Minister of the Youth Department means that Meng Baifeng controls a unit within the Wang Puppet Group that does not seem to have a very high position, but is extremely important.
This unit has many responsibilities.
They need to continue to provide "young talents" to the Wang Puppet Group, promote the ideas of the Wang Puppet Group, and be responsible for the training of grassroots cadres.
It can also be said that the Youth Department is the so-called talent training base and pillar of the Wang Puppet Group!
Even those officers of the national army who surrendered to the enemy need to go to the base camp of the Youth Department for three months of training before they can be used again.
The Youth Department also has its own complete business chain and basically does not need to rely on the support of the Wang Puppet Group's Ministry of Finance.
Now, this position is in Meng Baifeng's hands!
The real fatal blow comes not from the outside, but from the inside!
Meng Baifeng will take on this responsibility.
"I'm going to destroy the youth ministry!"
This is what Meng Baifeng said to Ren Yinghao.
A very bold idea.
Ren Yinghao was not surprised at all. In his opinion, there was nothing in this world that Meng Baifeng did not dare to do:
"The staff of the Youth Department is 109 people, known to the outside world as 108 generals, and they are also the core component of the entire Youth Department. Many of these people have been following Wang Jingwei all year round. They are senior and experienced. If you want to destroy the Youth Department,
, we must deal with these people first.”
"You know a lot about youth ministry?"
Meng Baifeng asked calmly.
"Yes, because I have money." Ren Yinghao replied calmly: "If you have money, you can get a lot of information that others cannot get."
“What about the business side?”
"In terms of business, the Youth Department has its own complete business map. They are only responsible to Wang Jingwei and do not need to undergo financial review, so they have always been mysterious."
"You are an expert in this field, but you don't even know anything about it?"
Meng Baifeng smiled: "As the president of the Judicial Yuan, I know all what you said. Gu Zhengye, the assistant minister of the youth department, is the oldest. He was originally qualified to compete for the position of minister, but unfortunately he was the first to be eliminated.
.I heard that this man is full of complaints.
I guess he will definitely get into trouble.
Yinghao, go and prepare a box of money for me. I will go to the youth department to meet them for the first time in the afternoon. This box of money will come in handy."
"yes."
Ever since Meng Baifeng accepted Ren Yinghao as his student, Ren Yinghao regarded him as his teacher from the bottom of his heart.
Meng Baifeng immediately picked up the phone: "Call to the Military Police Headquarters...Shangcheng Jun, I have some personal matters that I want to see you to handle..."
After talking for a while, he hung up the phone and called his guard captain Pan Fengquan in: "Our Internal Guard of the Judicial Yuan is known as the Eighteen Arhats. Today, I will take you Eighteen Arhats to the Youth Department to meet with one hundred and eight generals. You
Do you dare?"
"There's nothing to be afraid of." Pan Fengquan looked like he didn't care at all.
The entire inner guard team had almost blind worship of Dean Meng.
In their view, as long as they follow Dean Meng, there is nothing they cannot do and nothing they dare not do.
"Assemble the internal guards and help me prepare the car."
"yes."
…
The youth department has a new chief.
Some people are indifferent and do the same thing no matter which boss they change.
Some people are uneasy and worried that their position will be affected.
Some people were aggrieved, thinking that they should have taken this seat.
But now, this fantasy has come to nothing.
The higher-ups actually sent someone else here.
What position does that put you in?
Gu Zhengye completely has this mentality.
However, if you don't give in, what can you do?
Today is the first day that new chief Meng Baifeng takes office. Most of the cadres have been notified to attend a meeting in the auditorium.
At noon, Gu Zhengye called a few of his confidants to have a drink together.
The two bottles of wine were bottomed out, and a confidant checked the time: "Assistant Gu, the meeting time is coming soon, how about we drink again tonight?"
"What's the rush?" Gu Zhengye glared: "I'm just going to have a casual meeting to welcome the new minister? I'm not worried, so what are you worried about? Drink, keep drinking."
The confidant reminded him kindly: "Assistant Gu, our new minister this time is Meng Baifeng!"
"Meng Baifeng?"
Gu Zhengye sneered: "What about Meng Baifeng?"
"He is a ruthless character who kills people without batting an eyelid. He also has a good relationship with Chairman Wang and the Japanese."
It would have been better not to mention this, but as soon as he mentioned it, Gu Zhengye's temper suddenly rose: "Where were those people when I followed Chairman Wang? As soon as Chairman Wang arrived in Nanjing, I immediately went to Nanjing to continue my loyalty, regardless of life or death.
After so many years, I have been loyal and loyal, and I have worked hard without merit, right? In the end, I was only given an assistant position, not even a minister?
I know Meng Baifeng is ruthless, but don't be afraid. When I first arrived in Nanjing, Chairman Wang once said in front of many people that even if I made a huge mistake, I must inform him first! I can avoid death.
Gold medal man!”
This is true.
Many people in the youth department knew about this, and they all knew that Gu Zhengye had a gold medal to avoid death.
It is said that when Wang Jingwei was assassinated, Gu Zhengye was always by his side.
Logically speaking, such a person should have been reused long ago. Being an assistant is really unjustifiable.
Since he spoke like this, others naturally had no objections.
"Go get two more bottles of wine!" Gu Zhengye said with red eyes: "Drink, drink to your heart's content, damn, didn't you say there was a meeting at 1 o'clock? Let's drink until 3 o'clock."
Two bottles of wine were brought over.
Gu Zhengye ordered to open it. Everyone's wine cups were filled. Gu Zhengye raised the wine glass:
"Brothers, follow me, that's right. Meng Baifeng can call the shots in the Judicial Yuan, but he can't in the Youth Department. I will let him know who has the final say here sooner or later, and he can only get out in despair. Then, follow
My brother, if I take care of someone, I will never treat him badly."
There are always people like this.
Chapter completed!
