After seeing this document, Yamashita Masao understood in his heart that the Lu Ziyuan in front of him was a very good target for rebellion, and if he could ensure that his various businesses could be unimpeded in the occupied areas, he believed that Lu Ziyuan would definitely be willing to cooperate with the Japanese Empire.
For such a person, Yamashita Masao thinks that it is not easy to be able to rebel, and he believes that this Lu Ziyuan should have thought about cooperating with the Japanese Empire a long time ago, otherwise he would not have made this kind of preparation before this meeting and came up with a strategic intelligence.
But Yamashita Masao was not satisfied, he wanted to pull Lu Ziyuan onto the chariot of the empire as soon as possible and squeeze out Lu Ziyuan's value.
Lu Ziyuan was stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect Masao Yamashita's appetite to be so big, like the document he just gave to Masao Yamashita is definitely a document that is very interesting to the Japanese.
Deputy Director Ye and he thought that Masao Yamashita would be a treasure after getting this document, but Masao Yamashita seemed to be a little dismissive of this document, which surprised him a little.
In order to continue to show his sincerity in cooperating with the Japanese, Lu Ziyuan continued: "Mr.
Sun doesn't need to worry, this is just a meeting gift from Lu.
As Lu's cousin, Ye Xiaozhou has always been well aware of Lu's intention to cooperate with the Japanese side, so Lu decided to send Ye Xiaozhou back with the two of them as Lu's representative, I don't know if Mr.
Sun thinks such a move is sincere?
” After a pause, Lu Ziyuan felt that he couldn't be too eager, and began to put forward his own conditions: "Since Mr.
Sun can represent the Japanese side, then Lu also wants to hear what you can provide to Lu?"
” Yamashita Masao has been in China for a long time, and even the Chinese have a tradition of using hostage mortgages to show their intentions.
Therefore, I understand and am very satisfied with Lu Ziyuan's willingness to hand over his cousin Ye Xiaozhou to the Japanese side as a hostage.
In addition, Lu Ziyuan also began to ask what conditions the Japanese side could give once the cooperative relationship was established.
This made Masao Yamashita even more relieved.
In Yamashita's view, it is a common problem that Chinese who are willing to cooperate with the Japanese Empire do not care about the future of their own country and nation, but are more concerned about their own private interests.
If Lu Ziyuan did not ask about the conditions of the Great Japanese Empire, but took the initiative to take refuge in him, this would make Yamashita Masao feel suspicious.
So Yamashita Masao felt that he needed to give Lu Ziyuan a reassurance, and he said: "Now both you and I know very well that the Chongqing government is compressed in the southwest corner, and there is no power to return to heaven.
The army of the Imperial Japanese could completely defeat the army of the Chongqing government at any time, but in order to avoid further bloodshed, the Imperial Japanese side was eager to establish cooperation with people of insight within the Chongqing government.
For this reason, I had been authorized to do so before I came, and I was very friendly to the Imperial side of the Chongqing officials who were willing to cooperate with the Japanese Empire.
For example, if someone wanted to serve in the Nanking government, the empire would definitely persuade Mr.
Wang to give such a person the same or even slightly better positions and powers.
Moreover, the Imperial side will also give the other side priority and convenience in many aspects.
For example, the business of tobacco and stockings, and the encouragement of gold, etc.
Of course, according to Sun's idea, it is a bit overkill for Mr.
Lu to go to Nanjing to work now.
It is really wise for you to stay within the Chongqing government and quietly with the empire. ” Masao Yamashita's words were in fact an unmistakable request that Lu Ziyuan lurk within the Chongqing Nationalist Government and become a high-level spy, so as to constantly listen to news and intelligence and transmit them to the Japanese side.
Of course, Lu Ziyuan would like to stay in Chongqing all the time, and if Yamashita Masao asks him to secretly go to the Japanese-occupied area, he will really make trouble, because when Deputy Director Ye explained to him again that he would also go to the Japanese-occupied area.
So Lu Ziyuan pointed at Ye Xiaozhou and said: "This is natural, Lu will stay in Chongqing and continue to create value for you, so Lu will let his cousin go back with the two of you."
However, Lu said the ugly thing in the front, if there is no suitable position for Lu in the Nanjing government in the future, it is better to cooperate and stop. ” Regarding Lu Ziyuan's worries, Yamashita Masao felt the need to dispel the other party's concerns, and he assured solemnly: "Mr.
Lu, you don't have to worry about this!"
Our Imperial Japan has always had a good reputation in dealing with friends.
Let's not talk about Mr.
Wang in Nanjing, if you look at Boss Li next to me, he is now very prosperous in Stone Town, and he is very trusted by us, and even all kinds of businesses like his previous cooperation with Xinglong Firm can be imagined.
I can say that if Mr.
Lu is willing to cooperate with our empire, then your achievements in the future will definitely be even better than Boss Li.
In fact, if you are not worried about leaving any evidence, our Imperial side can even issue a written commitment for you.
As long as Mr.
Lu nods and is willing to cooperate with us in depth, all kinds of business of Xinglong Company will be unimpeded in Stone Town, Shanghai, and any other place under our control. ” Ye Xiaozhou did not speak after Li Yixin and Yamashita Masao arrived, but silently listened to Lu Ziyuan talking with the representative of the Japanese side.
Although it was said that the Central Committee had already informed him of the inside story in today's scene, he was still a little surprised when he sat directly in this private room and watched Lu Ziyuan fool that Sun Zhengxiong.
Originally, he thought that the focus of the Central Union's work would be more on the Communist Party, but today's show also opened his eyes.
He knew that the Central Union had sent agents to Stone Town to infiltrate, and had made some eye-catching achievements before, but the two-person infiltration team of the Central Union actually had such a great energy that they could fool the Japanese into sending representatives to Chongqing in person to plot a rebellion, and they were tricked by the Central Unification side without knowing it, which made Ye Xiaozhou can't help but have a great interest in the latent agents sent by the Central Unification.
In the past, the Central Unification side also made outstanding achievements in dealing with the Communist Party from time to time, and even arrested high-ranking cadres of the Communist Party, but the Central Unification was also brilliant in dealing with the Japanese this time, which was very unexpected by Ye Xiaozhou.
Of course, Sun Zhengxiong and Boss Li, who are now in Chongqing, don't look like people from Zhongtong, but how the hidden agents of Zhongtong work in Stone City make Ye Xiaozhou a little curious.
He thought that if he could understand these aspects, it might be of great reference for him to work in Stone Town in the future.
