Chapter 930: Meeting the North Koreans

A few days later, China and Japan finally implemented the Taiwan Concession issue. Feng Guozhang, Wu Tingfang and Yuyuki Hamaguchi signed the Lushun rental contract and the China-Japan friendly statement. However, on the memorandum of non-aggression between China and Japan, the two sides still discussed the wording of each memorandum seriously. During this period, Gu Weijun was ordered to meet alone with Yuyuki Hamaguchi to jointly conspire on the aftermath of the assassination of the head of state of the Republic of China.

During the conspiracy, Gu Weijun asked the Japanese side to use the excuse that this was a conspiracy launched by a civilian organization that supported the military faction, and was an action carefully designed to hinder China-Japan friendship. In addition, the *** cabinet and the Chinese Embassy in Japan jointly organized a search operation, successfully extinguishing all the forces of this civilian organization. For this reason, the *** government must also remove 30 senior officials from the posts.

At first, Yuyuki Hamaguchi opposed Gu Weijun's request, believing that this was also a confrontation with the dignity of the government, and why should thirty relevant officials be exempted at this time?

However, Gu Weijun emphasized that if Japan does not follow such requirements, China will refuse to sign a memorandum of non-aggression between China and Japan, and will not even publish a statement of friendship between China and Japan.

To this end, Hamaguchi Yuyuki immediately contacted his mentor, Nishizoji Gongwang and discussed countermeasures in detail. Since the Qingdao War, Nishizoji Gongwang has been forced to threaten the Republic of China created by various warlords in China, and his influence in the cabinet has been greatly reduced. This time, China proposed a civilian organization that supports the military faction, which can just attack the arrogance of the military faction from the side. At the same time, it was originally a hypothetical organization and did not have much impact on the substance. So he replied to Yuyuki Hamaguchi and asked him to agree to this condition.

The official announcement of the Sino-Japanese friendly statement and the publication of the Sino-Japanese non-aggression memorandum is scheduled on the morning of May 5. It will be called the "Double Five China-Japan Agreement" in history. Many historians will regard this agreement as the significance of "a storm is about to come and the wind is full of the building" before the Sino-Japanese War, and it is also an event that is distinctly ironic to the political world.

Before this day, the Information Department of the Presidential Office had received a secret telegram from Fengtian and began to create a foreshadowing momentum, modifying the content of the Sino-Japanese negotiations every day to be more dramatic, but it was released, guiding public opinion through newspapers and so-called "internal news" released, saying that the Allies had reached a consensus with the *** and would do their best to prevent China from declaring war on the ***. The focus of the Chinese Ministry of Defense was on the rectification of the warlords of the three eastern provinces, and there was no sufficient preparation for war in the short term.

For a time, the outside world of China began a new round of preheating of public opinion. Although the ministers of Britain, France and Russia felt that this public opinion was a premeditated and planned official act, as long as there was no war between China and Japan, their goal was achieved.

On May 3, the faction leaders that the North Korean movement could contact, after the arrangement of the Nanjing Presidential Office, secretly took the train to Beijing, and then the Secret Service and the Military Intelligence Bureau sent people to escort to Fengtian City. Wu Peifu and Zhang Xiaojun followed Wu Shaoting's notice to welcome these representatives at Fengtian Railway Station. Of course, in order to ensure the concealment of the entire operation, the intelligence unit has always used the highest confidential contact information and claimed to the outside world that these people were personnel of Zhang Shengting's Northern Affairs Company.

After contacts from the Presidential Office and active cooperation within the North Korean ** Movement Organization, the three major factions currently active within the ** Movement Organization and relatively international influence have been notified. The national academic faction, led by Li Dongning, advocates adopting cultural propaganda and relying on intellectual groups to awaken the Korean nationality and achieve the goal of national justice; the royalist leader Li Weizhong advocates joining Tsarist Russia to fight against the ** Movement and restore the national name of the Han Empire and

Status, he secretly accepted the secret decree of North Korea's Gojong to the International Conference of the Hague, demanding that European countries support North Korea and abolish the privileges of the *** protector. However, all countries participating in the Hague International Conference recognized the *** status as the magistrate in North Korea, but ultimately failed to get what they wished. The reformist leader, Seung-man, represented the willingness of North Korean youth and North Korean students to restore the country, has been active in Hawaii and New York, trying to use the assistance of the US government to restore the country.

In addition, there are radicals who advocate extreme measures to assassinate the politicians and the Korean national thieves. The leader is Kim Jong. However, since Kim Jong is currently detained in prison, there is no way to contact you for the time being, and no other representatives can be found.

After getting off the train, Wu Peifu and Zhang Xiaozhun did not lead the Koreans directly to Sujiatun, but arranged for them to have lunch at the military camp in Fengtian City. After entering the military camp by military locomotive, the garrison in Fengtian City happened to be in the training for the sting. Five hundred soldiers on the playground were wearing the latest military uniforms, all holding the "Shaoting" automatic rifle equipped with bayonets, and each move was neat and uniform. The shouts of the singing during the sting were extremely shocking.

"I laughed at you. This is the local army in our three northeastern provinces that are reorganizing and training and practicing thorn-pinning skills. You can have a meal in the military camp. We will set off for Sujiatun at 1 pm." Wu Peifu said deliberately.

The reason why we brought these people to the military camp was to let them see the appearance of the civilian team that is different from the past, not to mention that this is only the local army of the three northeastern provinces, and not the main force directly belonging to the central government.

After listening to Wu Peifu's introduction, Li Dongning, Jin Xifan and others had different expressions, and then exchanged a few words in Korean. Of course, they would not be shocked by the training of 500 people, but they hoped to assist in training North Korean patriots through the Chinese side, forming an army belonging to the North Korean movement, and relying on this army to complete the task of restoring the country. From another aspect, they deeply realized the importance of armed forces in the revolutionary movement, but how easy was it to form an army loyal to the revolution?

Although the military camp was simple, some hearty dishes were prepared. Everyone had a simple lunch and took a short rest. Then they took a car to Sujiatun Military Camp.

Wu Shaoting did not meet these people in his office. In his opinion, he did not need to give these North Koreans enough courtesy. On the contrary, whether these North Koreans can have value worth using. There were almost no greetings or opening remarks. He asked Long Yun to clean up a conference room at the Army Command, and the Chinese and North Korea went directly to the conference room for talks.

Lee Dongning, Lee Seung-man and others went to the conference room first to wait. A few minutes later, Wu Shaoting walked into the venue with his staff and the officers of the Ministry of National Defense. The North Koreans immediately stood up and saluted Wu Shaoting. Wu Shaoting just showed a politician smile and signaled. After Wu Peifu introduced him one by one, he asked everyone to sit down.

"Please forgive me. This meeting was quite hasty. You just got off the train and didn't get off the train and wait for this. I believe everyone has heard more or less about the situation in the three northeastern provinces, so I can't waste any time." After sitting down, Wu Shaoting said this briefly and said it was the opening remark.

Although the meeting with the head of state of the Republic of China was first contacted by the Chinese side, after the talks with Wang Changling, director of the Strategic Intelligence Bureau and Feng Guozhang, the main representatives of these North Korean movements began to urgently hope to meet with the highest leader of the Republic of China and sent Wu Shaoting the wish to restore the country with North Korea for assistance. Although after the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, the pro-China faction in North Korea was greatly weakened, and it turned out to be pro-Russia, pro-Japan and even pro-US, after establishing an organizational structure in Shanghai, seeing that China's political situation has undergone great changes in just five years, and it can also be face to face with the enemy, which shows how powerful the new Nanjing central government is.

Putting aside other factors, since the merger of North Korea and the *** in 1910, the patriots of the national movement have made so much effort to try to call on other countries to assist their motherland. But except for Russia's slight exchanges, almost no official personnel in other countries are willing to meet them, let alone the presidents, presidents and prime ministers of these countries. Now, Wu Shaoting, the head of state, is willing to meet them. No matter how simple and hasty the reception specifications are, they are all pleased with this meeting.

"Where can you see the Head of State, even if you can meet the head of state all night, there will be no trouble." Lee Seung-meng said quickly. A month ago, he received a telegram from Shanghai, and after some thought, he decided to set off for China. Of course, he has not had much hope for China so far, but he has finally been able to meet the head of state. At least through this meeting, he can improve his reputation and status in the ** movement and consolidate his leadership position in the reformed comrades.

"Your Highness the First Emperor took the time to meet us in your busy schedule. We are deeply grateful." Li Dongning said in fluent Chinese while owing a salute.

"It is our honor to meet with the Head of State. Thank you very much for meeting us today." Li Weizhong, who is over 60 years old, said in a normal manner.

Wu Shaoting smiled slightly, and then looked at the South Korean athletes sitting opposite the conference table with a scrutiny look one by one, especially when he saw Seung Won Rhee. It has to be said that among all the founding presidents in history, Seung Won Rhee can be said to be the least popular one. His contribution to the North Korean country and even the nation is far less than that of the great leaders in the north. He even proposed to place North Korea under the US reserve for commissioning for rule. He can be said to be a person who is tempted by the United States.

After the founding of South Korea, Seung-man promoted fascist rule, and even his political enemies were often charged with "tolerating the Communist Party". Kim Jong, the leader of the famous North Korean ** movement, was killed by active-duty soldiers instructed by him. Among the few people who ran for president with Seung-man, Shin Yi-hee died suddenly on the way to "lobbying", Cho Bong-yan was executed on the pretext of the Progressive Party incident, Zhao Bing-yu suddenly died during the treatment of the United States, and Vice President Zhang Mian was shot. In the end, he was forced to step down under the opposition of the people and ended his re-election of three presidential status.

Wu Shaoting did not intend to cooperate with Lee Seung-man from the beginning to the end, but in order to exert the value of the North Korean movement as much as possible, he counted it in one place. He thought for a while, found the appropriate wording and said: "The reason why I decided to meet you sirs is not that we have a common enemy. Please allow me to say some straightforward words before this. I think you do not have any ability to achieve the purpose of fighting against the North Korean movement, so strictly speaking, the North Korean movement has no way to stand shoulder to shoulder with our China."
