Film and Television Beacon Fire: I Have an Equipment Column

Chapter 347 Ready to make a move
"When will Prince Asaka's visit begin?" - "Declaration"

"Unite and fight together!" - "Li Bao"

“The Japanese royal family is disgraced” - Shanghai Minbao

Ever since the emperor of Chaoxiang Palace dragged his "sick body" from the hotel to the naval headquarters, the tone of Shanghai's major newspapers and tabloids began to change uniformly.

One after another, they began to question the Japanese directly, or to make strange arrangements about the Japanese, and by the way, they began to call on the national government to implement a unified resistance war.

Among them, except for left-wing newspapers such as "Li Pao" and "Min Bao" who actively publish these articles, most other newspapers actually do not want to publish such articles.

However, what was sent to the newspaper along with these articles was an axe.

Obviously, compared to the Japanese bribery, Wang Yaqiao's ax was obviously more effective, so that in just one or two days, the direction of public opinion in Shanghai changed drastically.

Although every newspaper company knew that even if they didn't do what Wang Yaqiao wanted, Wang Yaqiao wouldn't really do anything to them.

But as the old saying goes: "Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the eventuality."

How exciting the hype was before, how embarrassing the current situation is.

Looking at the increasingly outrageous headlines in the newspapers, Prince Asaka, Hase Aokawa and others looked as ugly as if they had just been fished out of a cesspool.

However, with the "move" of Prince Chaoxiang Palace, he has already set foot on the territory of the national government, which means that this "peaceful visit" has begun.

Not shabby!
In the naval headquarters.

Hase Qingchuan said bitterly.

The ants are still living an ignoble existence. In order to survive, they just lower their heads once.

As for some less famous tabloids, they don't pay much attention to the content of their articles. Many of them are full of obscenities, almost naming the Prince of Asaka Palace as a coward.

You know, although the area of ​​the Naval Headquarters on North Sichuan Road is also called the Japanese Concession, according to the concession agreement between the government and Japan, this place is still the territory of the government.

Originally, according to the Japanese government's plan, as long as Prince Asaka stayed within the Japanese Concession, this "peaceful visit" could be postponed forever.

The reputation of the royal family has been slandered to this point. Whether it is the Prince Asaka Palace or the militarists like Hase Aokawa, every one of them is so angry that they want to kill someone.

Hearing this, many people in the room nodded secretly and couldn't help but cast their eyes on the Prince of Asaka Palace.

No one is willing to gamble with their wealth and life on Wang Yaqiao's "what if".

"Now it seems that this was clearly done deliberately by Wang Yaqiao, with the purpose of causing us to get into trouble."

If this does not continue, no matter how stupid the people in the government are, they will not believe in the so-called "peace", and will inevitably turn to full-scale war preparations.

The reason why these newspapers and periodicals were able to launch a collective attack this time was, to put it bluntly, because of the "removal" behavior of Prince Chao Xiang Palace.

You should know that major newspapers such as Shenbao and Shanghai Minbao still retain a little bit of literati politeness when writing articles.

The question before everyone now is, should this "peace visit", which was originally just a show, continue?

But if they continue, doesn't it mean that they are really going to discuss the details of the so-called "Sino-Japanese friendship" treaty with the national government?
They weren't prepared for this at all, okay?
The agreement between the two countries, even if it is fake, will require a long period of deliberation before certain results can be achieved.

This time, the Japanese government fell into passivity.

The Japanese government can take advantage of the paralysis and interference in the national government to quickly make various preparations before the war and seize the opportunity in the coming war.

Could it be said that they really will not start a war during this period?

How can this be? The relations between the great powers are almost in order, and the armies are almost mobilized and arranged. The situation is almost at a point where the arrow has to be fired, so how can it be said to stop here?
The current dilemma makes Hase Qingchuan and others not sure what to do now.

However, the Prince of Chaoxiang Palace, who was attracting everyone's attention, looked very calm and did not appear to be worried about the current situation at all. I saw him saying lightly:

"You don't need to think too much about this matter. I believe it won't be long before there will be clear instructions from the country."

Hearing this, Hase Qingchuan and the others couldn't say much, after all, his identity was here.

"Then, Your Highness, would you like to spend some time with yourself during this period?"

"No, I live here, it's fine."

Prince Asaka Palace interrupted Hase Aokawa.

Just kidding, that's Wang Yaqiao who sent General Shirakawa Yoshinori back to the embrace of Amaterasu. In this case, he doesn't stay in the safest place. What if he comes to visit him?
Seeing that His Highness the Prince was unwilling to change places, Hase Aokawa had no choice. He could only stare at Ying Zuo Jia Zhao and ordered:
"Ying Zuojun, your intelligence agency is too useless, isn't it? You haven't found Wang Yaqiao yet?"

"Hey, I'm working hard on the investigation, please give me a little more time."

Although Ying Zuo Ji Zhao was not angry in his heart, he did not dare to be harsh in his words.

"Okay, General Hase, don't criticize Kagezuo-kun so harshly. Everyone knows his abilities."

Prince Chaoxiang Palace came forward to smooth things over.

Ying Zuo Ji Zhao nodded gratefully and said:

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, my subordinates will definitely arrest Wang Yaqiao and bring him to justice to honor General Baichuan and his companions."

At the same time, the distant Pingjin area.

In the conference room of the Japanese Army Office in Pingjin, a group of Japanese military attaches were gathered in front of a map of the Tianjin Chamber of Commerce, discussing the establishment of a material reserve warehouse.

As early as late April, they received instructions from their superiors to establish a concentration and transfer base for troops and logistics supplies in the Pingjin area.

After more than a month of secret gathering, a large number of troops and combat preparation materials have been hoarded on the border of the Puppet Manchukuo and Pingjin areas in the name of defense change.

Although various newspapers and radio broadcasts are advocating the so-called "Sino-Japanese friendship" and the "peaceful visit" of King Zhiyan of Asaka Palace.

But these officers had already smelled the smoke of gunpowder in the air, and began to prepare eagerly.

In the nearby city of Peiping, Song Zheyuan, commander of the 19th Route Army, also received an invitation letter from the Japanese.

In the letter, the Japanese strongly invited Song Zheyuan to visit Japan to promote "friendly mutual assistance" between China and Japan.

For this reason, Commander Song summoned several of his main generals to discuss what kind of show the Japanese were singing.

After some discussion, several generals of the 19th Route Army came to the same conclusion:

The Japanese definitely have no good intentions.

Therefore, I must not go to this invitation, but how to refuse has become a problem.

After several discussions, Commander Song decided to imitate the Prince of Chaoxiang Palace.

Malingering.

Soon after, the Japanese garrison commander Tashiro Anichiro's face turned ugly when he received the reply from Commander Song.

"Toast and don't eat!"
