Spy Wars: I can get rewards by being a bully!

Chapter 230 Wu Ziyu's Iron Will

Asking Gao Shengping to do his errand quickly, Lin Ze ran back to the Wu Mansion.

Kitahara Ransuke was walking around outside, and when he saw Lin Ze coming back, he quickly asked, "How is it?"

Lin Ze nodded. "Director Gao has sealed off East Fourth Street so tightly that no one can get in. I told him about your plan, and he has already gone to the press station in person."

Kitahara Ransuke was slightly relieved and continued to study the reporter's body, trying to find some clues.

After watching for a long time, Kitahara Ransuke was furious. "Damn it! This guy has no trace of military training at all! Look at the two shots he fired at that time, they were all off target. Whoever was behind this, why would he send such an idiot to assassinate him? Damn it!"

In the flower hall, the apprenticeship ceremony has been completed.

Colonel Matsuzaki was in high spirits as he gave a speech to a group of reporters.

He talked about his love for Chinese culture, then talked about the friendship between the two countries. From the friendship between the two countries, he talked about the current situation. From the current situation, he talked about how the empire will never mistreat those who have made outstanding contributions to the empire's cause, and that the empire absolutely does not intend to bring about war and aggression. What the empire wants to bring is prosperity to all of East Asia!

It was precisely because of the stubbornness of those people in the south, who were unwilling to cooperate with the empire for their own interests, that tragedy after tragedy occurred!

If the South wants to give up resistance and negotiate with the Empire, the Empire is willing to show 100% sincerity and help them establish a new order on this land.

He then cited the example of the North China Administrative Committee and refuted those claims that the North China Administrative Committee was a puppet of the empire.

"The current Governing Committee has basically completed all its functions, especially Chairman Wang, who has basically begun to take full responsibility for all government affairs. Both the North China Front Army and the Military Police Command have gradually withdrawn from the management of some daily affairs and instead maintained communication with Chairman Wang and relevant personnel at any time to help them implement better governance. Now the Governing Committee has its own military force and has established several self-defense groups. We can see that under the leadership of the Governing Committee, the economic cooperation between North China and the Empire has become increasingly close, and the output of coal, steel, and cloth has increased significantly. This is the best embodiment of the Empire's East Asian Co-Prosperity Strategy!"

Colonel Matsuzaki said this with absolute certainty.

To later generations, these words are simply nonsense.

However, we have to admit that at this time, the Japanese won over a large number of literati and scholars, especially a large number of Chinese literati and scholars, and closed the loop of research on these theories.

The Japs were so deceiving that even they believed it, and many people in the south also believed it firmly and claimed that this was the only way to achieve final peace.

There are many such voices, and even some celebrities have come out to publicly support this argument.

In fact, the truth is that as the war continued, the Japanese, who had originally arranged their war plans with the theory of a quick victory, saw less and less hope of completely conquering the South by force in the short term.

Therefore, the headquarters began to launch a public opinion offensive, constantly implementing the strategies of "persuading surrender", "forcing surrender" and "promoting surrender".

Wu Ziyu is a very important part of this plan. With his huge reputation, once it is directed to the Japanese, it will make quite a lot of people put aside their concerns and choose to cooperate with the Japanese.

Reporters began asking questions.

"Daily News Question: Colonel Matsuzaki, after you become Mr. Wu Ziyu's disciple, will you cooperate with Mr. Wu in more areas?"

Colonel Matsuzaki looked at the reporter from the Mainichi Shimbun with hatred in his heart. If he was not mistaken, the reporter who tried to assassinate him at the beginning was from the Mainichi Shimbun.

Damn!

This newspaper relies on the fact that its shareholders are powerful figures in the military and business circles, and never takes the Military Police Headquarters seriously!

After this reception is over, I will definitely take advantage of this incident to deal with them!

But now is not the time to lose temper. Colonel Matsuzaki smiled and said, "Of course, Mr. Wu, as my teacher, is not only very knowledgeable in the field of culture. I think everyone has not forgotten that Mr. Wu was once a general. His talent cannot and should not be buried. Regarding this issue, Mr. Wu will give a speech to everyone at the end of this reception. You can wait and see."

"Miller's Review asked, Mr. Matsuzaki, your army seems to have launched a large-scale operation along the Jinpu Line. Can you tell us about the operation?"

Naoto Matsuzaki cursed in his heart, these stubborn people have no good intentions at all! If General Terauchi Juichi had not hoped that newspapers from other countries would attend this reception, he would never have invited them!

Even though he cursed, he still had to keep smiling. "This is a matter for the military. As the head of the Beiping Military Police Headquarters, I don't know the details of the relevant operations."

Then several Japanese reporters asked some pre-arranged questions, and Naoto Matsuzaki answered them fluently.

Then he said, "Okay! Now, I would like to invite my teacher, the respected Mr. Wu Ziyu, to give a speech to everyone. Before the speech, in order to solve the language barrier, we will first send you the speech manuscript printed in Chinese, Japanese and English."

Afterwards, the civil servant who presided over the reception distributed the manuscript to everyone.

When several foreign reporters saw the speech, they clearly saw that Wu Ziyu would serve as the vice chairman of the administrative committee and would be fully responsible for public security management in the North China region.

Wu Ziyu sneered and stood up. "There is no need to print it out first. Although there are not many talented people in my house, I can still find a translator."

Well, after Old Wu stepped down, not only did many guards continue to follow him, but many talents from his former important departments such as the Secretariat, Training Department, and Liaison Department also followed him to Peking and lived in his mansion, organizing news for him and arranging activities for him.

A young man walked in with neither arrogance nor humility. It seemed that he was Lao Wu's translator.

Naoto Matsuzaki suddenly had a bad feeling.

But I couldn't cover Old Wu's mouth at this time, so I could only bite the bullet and listen to what he was going to say next.

Sure enough, Old Wu’s first words were earth-shattering.

"Just now, Matsuzaki mentioned peace. I believe that only peace can lead to peace, and peace must be based on peace. To achieve peace, the following three points are indispensable."

"First, Japan should unconditionally withdraw its troops from North China, and then gradually withdraw from the three northeastern provinces."

"Second, our country's territorial and sovereignty integrity should be effectively guaranteed."

"Third, their negotiation partner should and must be the Shancheng side, not some other supported party."

This translator is indeed a talented person. He is proficient in both English and Japanese. He translated these words into English and then into Japanese word for word.

There was silence.

There was only the sound of reporters taking notes.

Naoto Matsuzaki felt that the sound was so harsh!
