103 China Travel (3)
Li Erwen does have the ability to create accidents, but this time, she really doesn't know how to create accidents.∮It went too smoothly. It took less time for MI6 to find out something wrong with Wang Jingwei, and then increased his investment. Soon, the little thing about Old Wang was clearly touched by MI6.
Li Erwen was surprised when he saw the result. No matter which country he was a traitor and treason, he would not have a good ending, especially when the person who licked his knees was so high and he chose to lick his knees was really not very good.
If Li Erwin had definitely not made such a choice. If a politician wants to turn the tables, he can take advantage of the general trend or the external trend. But it is undeniable that the latter is definitely not as good as the former. He is short of his hands and short of his mouth. If you take advantage of the situation today, you will have to double the return one day, especially when the external trend is much stronger than you. In the end, external forces will turn you into a puppet and let them mercy.
In Li Erwen's opinion, there is no need for Wang Jingwei to do such a big gambling. Once he loses, he will be doomed. It is better to wait patiently for Chiang Kai-shek to make mistakes. With Chiang's political level, it will be a matter of time before he makes mistakes. On that day, Wang Jingwei can completely turn the tables.
If Li Xiaofeng knew about Li Erwen's idea, he might have scoffed. The reason why Wang Jingwei chose to use external trends rather than waiting for changes in the general trend was not only because of his lack of political vision. The more important reason is that Wang Jingwei has a physical problem. It is not that he is old. Born in 1883, he is at the golden age of a politician. If you want to wait, you can wait.
The reason why he could not wait was the attempted assassination in 1935. Although he escaped by chance, he was seriously injured. The bullet stuck in his spine and could not be removed. Some doctors even asserted: "Wang Jingwei will not live for ten years!"
Historically, this assertion was very accurate. Wang Jingwei died in 1944. Moreover, since he was assassinated, his health has been poor. Compared with Lao Jiang, who was five years younger than him, he had no advantage in age and his body collapsed again. For Wang Jingwei's political life, it was almost a dead end.
Wang Jingwei could no longer wait. He was worried that he would die before he could wait that day and become a loser in history in humiliation. He did not want to lose. Naturally, he had to make a last try. The only one who could give him the chance to gambling this time was Japan. The thing was that simple, it was the last gambling of an ambitious man with psychological problems and a weak will and in a desperate situation.
Li Xiaofeng has seen too many such people. The two most recent ones are Kamenev and Zinoviev, but their despair is worse than Wang Jingwei's. Before they can be carried out, they were crushed by Lenin, Trotsky, Stalin and Sverdlov.
Compared with those two unlucky guys, Wang Jingwei, who once had the opportunity to see the dawn of victory, but now, Wang Jingwei may become the same as Kamenev and Zinoviev.
Li Erwen, who is in Hanoi, frowned and asked, "What activities does Wang Jingwei and his gangsters have in Kunming?"
"According to the outside report, they are making final preparations and will escape from Kunming as soon as they have the chance."
Li Erwen nodded slowly. However, the anxiety in his heart did not ease at all. It was quite obvious that Wang Jingwei wanted to treason. Moreover, his defection route was also quite obvious. Either he would go to Guangzhou to Hong Kong and then switch to Shanghai, or go to Hanoi to Shanghai. Now Wang Jingwei did not approach Guangzhou, but went to Kunming. Kunming is not far from Hanoi, so Wang Jingwei's choice can only be the latter.
After judging Wang Jingwei's escape route, the next thing was to wait for the rabbit to catch a turtle in the jar, which was almost no difficulty. In particular, Li Erwen used the relationship between the British and French alliance to obtain French understanding, and it was very easy to deal with Wang Jingwei in the French colony.
But no matter how smooth things go, Li Erwin always feels a little uneasy. She always feels something is wrong. Based on her previous experience of dealing with someone, the more smooth the more it goes, the easier it is to fall into the pit.
Li Erwen speculated over and over again that Li Xiaofeng might take. It was obvious that the Soviet Union's purpose was to use China to drag the Japanese and make the Japanese have no time to take care of the Northeast, thereby avoiding the dilemma of Germany and Japan going to war against the Soviet Union at the same time. Naturally, the Soviet Union must let the Kuomintang hold on, and not let Wang Jingwei, who was ready to treason and surrender to the enemy, ruin the overall situation. Naturally, the goal of kgb is to reduce the influence of Wang Jingwei's treason to a minimum, and finally to capture the traitor back to Chongqing alive for public trial.
In this way, it not only severely hit the arrogance of the surrendered faction in the Kuomintang, but also sells it to Chiang Kai-shek, which is also a kill of two birds with one stone.
To achieve the above goals, Li Erwen believes that Li Xiaofeng will not take action before Wang Jingwei officially treasons and surrenders to the enemy, so that the profits cannot be maximized. And if Wang Jingwei can still catch him after he treasons, there is only one way, that is, to take action in Hanoi.
Based on this, Li Erwen formulated a comprehensive plan, which is to seize Wang Jingwei before kgb. Why did such a big political interest be taken over? With the cooperation of French allies, it is easier for MI6 to operate in Hanoi, and it is even easier to capture Wang Jingwei.
If MI6 captured Wang Jingwei before kgb, then Li Erwen naturally made a comeback, leaving all the preparations and efforts of someone to be in vain. He could even make a kgb and openly send agents to catch people across borders in violation of international law. This is a big scandal!
At that time, the Soviet Union will naturally be embarrassed internationally, and the result of shame is that Li Xiaofeng will fall into a fight at home. According to Li Erwen's understanding, the political forces in the Soviet Union are fighting hard. If such a big mistake is made, they will definitely be grabbed by their political enemies.
Logically speaking, Li Erwin's plan was perfect, but as mentioned earlier, she always felt something was wrong. It seemed that there was something wrong, but no matter how she thought, she could not find the problem.
"Madam, Wang Jingwei and his gangsters have taken the opportunity to leave Kunming and fly directly to Hanoi!"
And just before Li Erwen could figure it out, her subordinate informed her of this important information, and she immediately asked, "What about kgb's reaction?"
"KGB seems to be starting to organize people, looking ready to take action in Hanoi."
Li Erwen nodded and ordered: "Follow the movements of kgb. You must report to me immediately if there is any movement!"
Li Erwen was nervously calculating the time. If nothing unexpected happens, Wang Jingwei will arrive in Hanoi soon, and after that, there are few opportunities for her to make changes.
Wang Jingwei didn't know that his "well-planned" escape operation turned into a joke from the beginning, and more than a wave of people were paying attention to his movements. When he arrived in Hanoi, the vice president breathed a sigh of relief. Perhaps the most difficult journey in his opinion was over. What would be greeted next would be a smooth horse.
"Pay attention to the movements of the Russians and monitor closely!"
Li Erwen saw from the telescope that Wang Jingwei boarded the special car prepared for him by Japan's Special High School, and the kgb spy was just surveillance from a distance and did not take any action. However, this did not surprise her, because Wang Jingwei had not officially issued a declaration of treason, and at this time he did not have the greatest political value.
"The Russians are very likely to carry out operations when Wang Jingwei left Hanoi. Judging from our reconnaissance results, kgb invested a large number of people, and a considerable number of Russian spies were carrying out activities."
Li Erwen asked lightly: "Local or foreign?"
"Most of them are Russians who have only arrived in Hanoi in recent times, coming under the guise of travel. The anti-scouting awareness of these polar bears is really poor. Our French colleagues have been paying attention to them for a while."
Li Xiaofeng frowned. She realized something was wrong again. Judging from Li Xiaofeng's behavior, he attached great importance to this operation, but judging from the spies he sent, the level of these people was not high. This is very contradictory. Since she attaches importance to it, she should send the best people to carry out the mission. Isn't it reasonable to send a group of rookies?
When Learvin reported this situation to m, the superior who was devoted to Berlin and focused on Nazi trends was very dissatisfied: "I have told you a long time ago that Andre Petrovic is a cover, a false target to distract us. The Russians' focus is still Europe or Berlin. You should bring back the drawn personnel as soon as possible!"
Has Li Erwen shook? For a moment, she was shaken, but soon she calmed down again. This time, Li Erwen had a feeling that someone must be Wang Jingwei. As for those rookies, they must be used to distract her from the attention.
After thinking about it, Li Erwin ordered: "Catch one or two Russian spies back!"
"Are you going to open a breakthrough from their mouths?" Charles asked.
However, Lierwen did not answer this question, but just pretended to be profound and closed his eyes. Charles, who asked for an uninteresting, went to execute the order with resentment, and soon two Russian rookies who were left alone were caught back.
"They all got it!" Charles said excitedly, "Their task is to distract us!"
Li Erwen frowned slightly, and the result surprised her a little. According to her idea, this group of people should confess that they were coming for Wang Jingwei, why did they say it was a fake target? What does this mean? Does that guy think she is so easy to be fooled?
If someone’s target is really Wang Jingwei, then these rookies should not give this answer. It’s completely unreasonable?
After thinking for a while, Li Erwen asked, "Has the punishment been taken?"
"It's moving!" Charles reported in detail: "It took 12 hours torture these communist bandits to speak!"
Seeing Lilwin frowning again, Charles asked for instructions: "What should I do next? Do I need to report to the top?"
Li Erwen knew very well and reported this answer to m. All operations in Hanoi were not required to be carried out. She waved her hand and said, "No need, I am fully responsible here... Well. You can grab two more tongues and come back for interrogation!"
Charles became increasingly unhappy. He always thought that the result was obvious. The so-called Wang Jingwei was just a cover, which was used by the other party to fool them. This was already very clear. Since that is the case, why do you still waste time with Wang Jingwei?
"I won't be alert to the enemy, right?" Charles asked dissatisfied.
"Do you think someone doesn't know we're in Hanoi?" Learwin sneered, "Go ahead and execute the order!"
Charles left reluctantly. In his opinion, Learwin was completely a lunatic. Since he had been exposed, and Wang Jingwei was not of great value. Why waste time here?
However, he had no courage to refuse to execute the order. He quickly grabbed two more tongues. The answer he asked this time was incredible. This time, the two rookies admitted that their mission was to capture Wang Jingwei and his fellow disciples alive.
Charles was confused immediately. Damn, what's the matter? The same group of people performs two completely different tasks? It's simply inexplicable, so the suspicion array is not so clumsy, right?
Learwin tsk and ordered: "Continue to grab his tongue!"
But this time his tongue was not so easy to catch. The MI6 spies who went to carry out the arrest mission paid a few more. And just as Charles reported the news to Learwen with a bitter face, Wang Jingwei detonated a bombshell. He responded to Koume Fumimo's declaration and officially treasoned for the enemy!
It was also at this moment that the kgb spy suddenly lost its trace like evaporated from the world, as if they had never been to Hanoi!
Charles made a judgment: "The Russians are going to take action!"
Li Erwen basically agreed with this judgment, but how will the other party take action? A while ago, those casual rookies seemed to have become veterans overnight, and disappeared without any trace, which made her feel tricky when she was preparing to stalk the mantis and the oriole behind her.
Li Erwen asked: "When will Wang Jingwei leave the inland river?"
"Just tomorrow morning. Take the earliest flight to Shanghai!"
Li Erwen thought for a while and ordered: "Follow Wang Jingwei's movements and prepare for the arrest."
Charles nodded. Although he still felt that it was a mistake to pay too much attention to Wang Jingwei, if he could take him down and make the Russians defeated, this action would be acceptable. Anyway, you only need to wait for Russia to emerge next, it's simple!
As it turned out, the only simple thing was that Charles thought it was too simple. Wang Jingwei did not take any action from his residence to the airport. Seeing that the plane was refueling and preparing to take off, Charles couldn't help it: "Can't wait any longer!"
Li Erwen's heart suddenly sank. She knew that she seemed to have been fooled by someone again. Could it be that Wang Jingwei is indeed a cover? Or does someone have another way to take down Wang Jingwei? Should she hijack the passenger plane?
However, Li Erwen quickly ruled out this possibility, because the passenger plane was basically full of Japanese special high school students, so it was impossible to succeed. Or was Wang Jingwei really a cover?
Seeing that the plane had entered the end of the runway and was about to start skating, the Russians didn't even see a shadow, let alone taking action. At this time, both Learwin and Charles knew that they were fooled by the Russians and had no action to capture Wang Jingwei.
"Stop the plane!" Li Erwin gritted his teeth and shouted viciously: "Quick!"
Charles was shocked and quickly launched an operation. Four cars rushed to the runway and barely stopped the plane that had already begun to slide. Before the plane could stop, a large number of MI6 agents and French military police opened the cabin and rushed into the cabin. They arrested Wang Jingwei, who was preparing to make a big move.
"What are you doing? Do you know who I am?" Matsumoto Shigeji was furious.
However, neither the British nor the French had any birds, and he started to catch people without hesitation, without even giving a word of explanation. In fact, Lierwen didn't know how to explain. According to the original plan, it should be the Russians who blew up the thunder, and then they went up to get the bargain. But who would have thought that the Russians who blew up the thunder disappeared, and in the end they had to go up by themselves.
Li Erwen knew that the Japanese might have to protest this time, but fortunately, they finally took down Wang Jingwei, which was not a complete failure. The only thing that made her worried was - which one was singing.
What trick did Li Xiaofeng play? Is Wang Jingwei really a trick? Responsibly speaking, it must be not. Someone came just for Wang Jingwei, and his purpose was to get rid of this traitor. However, it was not what Li Erwen imagined to do, but to kill people with a knife.
No matter who it is, it is only meaningful that Wang Jingwei was taken down after arriving in Hanoi and making a declaration of surrender. It is too early and there is no evidence, too late, so this guy may have run away. However, for kgb, Hanoi is not their land, it is a French colony. Taking Wang Jingwei in the land of the French might be a marriage for others, and in the end it can only be ridiculed.
So, Li Xiaofeng thought of this method, and played with Li Erwen in a false way, and finally gave the pick to her directly. At that time, Li Erwen had almost no choice. Letting Wang Jingwei go means that this trip was completely useless, which was equivalent to being caught by Li Xiaofeng. In the end, M would only think that she made a mistake in judgment and fell into someone's trick. Li Erwen himself could not accept the result of being teased by Li Xiaofeng again.
As for whether you would let Wang Jingwei go, there is no need to worry at all, Li Xiaofeng must have prepared a backup plan.
Capturing Wang Jingwei is indeed a way to please and bring close relations with Lao Chiang, but at the same time, it is inevitable that it will offend the Japanese severely. Because this is a good thing that ruined the Japanese, the Japanese took a lot of effort to lure Wang Jingwei, but they were all disturbed by the British. How could they not be annoyed?
This is equivalent to making the British Empire directly confront the Japanese. The British's previous strategy has always been an appeasement policy. Indulging Germany in Europe and indulging Japanese in Asia is at most just a verbal spree. Now, this is a direct strife, which directly disrupts Britain's diplomatic deployment and may trigger the possibility of a conflict between Britain and Japan.
It can be said that Li Xiaofeng easily disrupted the deployment of Britain and Japan after walking around China, and even killed people to get rid of Wang Jingwei with a knife, but he took a big advantage! (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
