Chapter 30 Wang Jingwei's debut and the basic relationship treaty between Japan and Wang

On this day (November 30, 1941), Wang Jingwei took office as the chairman of the puppet national government, and issued a telegram saying: The Sino-Japanese Treaty (referring to Wang Japan's "Treaty on Basic Relations between Japan and the Republic of China") is a century-old plan for the two countries, and will Chongqing One side regards this century-old plan as the biggest obstacle: "However, Chongqing is still advocating to continue the war of resistance and thinking about the future, and there are still many obstacles." On August 28, the Wang Jingwei Group held the so-called "Sixth National Congress of the Kuomintang" in Shanghai.Wang Jingwei estimated that 300 people would attend the "Sixth National Congress" meeting, but they couldn't make up the number, so they used fake products to recruit non-KMT members to pretend to be party members as representatives.Some non-KMT members not only participated in the Congress, but were also designated as "representatives" of two provinces and cities; some people did not know which province they represented after attending the meeting. It was still not enough, so they resorted to threats, even kidnapping, to tie people into the venue to act as representatives.In this way, there were only 240 representatives who "attended" Wang Ji's "Sixth Congress" of the Kuomintang.

Wang remembers the "Sixth National Congress of the Kuomintang". The presidium was composed of Wang Jingwei, Zhou Fohai, Chu Minyi, Tao Xisheng, Gao Zongwu, Mei Siping and others. Wang Zi served as the chairman and delivered an opening speech.The General Assembly passed the "Reorganization of Party Affairs Case", which denied Chiang Kai-shek's position as the president of the Kuomintang, and enabled Wang Jingwei to obtain the "legitimate" status of the chairman of the Kuomintang Central Committee.The meeting also passed the "Proposal on Revising the Political Program of the Chinese Kuomintang", "Deciding to Take Anti-Communism as a Basic National Policy", "Fundamental Adjustment of Sino-Japanese Relations and Quickly Restoring Diplomatic Relations", etc., for Wang Jingwei and his accomplices to "legally" take the stage Labels one by one.

After the "Sixth National Congress" of Wang Ji was hastily concluded, Wang Jingwei was eager to negotiate with the leaders of the "temporary" and "reform" puppet governments. On September 18, he went to Nanjing with Zhou Fohai, Mei Siping, Tao Xisheng, Gao Zongwu, etc., and had talks with Wang Kemin and Liang Hongzhi .Wang asked Wang, Liang and others to attend the "Central Political Conference" straight to the point, and told them that they planned to establish a new central government in Nanjing on October 9, and hoped that the "interim" and "restoration" governments would be cancelled.Wang Jingwei took out two documents, the "Central Political Conference Organizational Regulations" and the "North China Political Affairs Commission Interim Organizational Regulations Outline", and asked the "temporary" and "reformation" governments for understanding.

Wang Kemin and Liang Hongzhi were very unhappy after watching it, and Wang Kemin expressed his unwillingness to participate in the Central Political Conference. On September 20, Japanese secret agent Kagezuo and others participated in the talks. Kagezuo publicly announced that the Japanese cabinet supported Wang Jingwei in establishing a central government.Wang listened and liked it very much.After some bargaining, the Wang Jingwei Group, Wang Kemin and Liang Hongzhi reluctantly reached a "Decision Matter". The next day, Wang Jingwei issued a statement, declaring that he accepted the power conferred by the "Sixth National Congress", met with Wang Kemin, Liang Hongzhi and others in Nanjing, and expressed his sincerity.Before he fled, Wang Jingwei yelled at Wang and Liang as traitors and traitors, but now he praised Wang and Liang and said: "Mr. Let’s see each other.” It is a matter of course that we should “eliminate prejudices and work together to help each other in difficult situations” with them.

Wang Kemin and Liang Hongzhi also issued statements one after another, saying that Wang Jingwei "stands up to take charge of the situation, cleans up the current situation, and shares his original intention of saving the country. In order to make Japan fulfill the promise of establishing Wang Ji's puppet central government as soon as possible, Wang Jingwei stepped up negotiations on the conclusion of a secret treaty with the Japanese invaders, but the Japanese government has been delaying the signing date of the secret treaty.It was not until December 30 that the Japanese government notified Kagezuo, the leader of the "Mei Agency", and signed the "Secret Treaty between Japan and Wang", "Outline for the Adjustment of New Japan-China Relations", and "Specific Measures for Cleaning Up the Current Situation" with Wang Jingwei.Which stipulates:

(1) Recognize the "Manchurian Empire".North China and Mengjiang are areas of close cooperation between Japan and China. The North China Political Affairs Committee has been set up and has autonomy in terms of finance, economy, and personnel rights.Mengjiang has its special status in the military and political aspects of anti-communism, and has extensive autonomy. It is a highly autonomous region for anti-communism.The lower reaches of the Yangtze River is a zone for close economic cooperation between Japan and China, and close military cooperation must be realized on certain islands along the coast of South China.

(2) Japan must station necessary troops in a certain area of ​​North China in Mengjiang, so that Japan and China can cooperate to prevent the Communist Party.With regard to the areas where Japanese troops are stationed and the railways, aviation, communications, major ports and waterways in areas related to this, China must adapt to the requirements of Japan's military necessities.Within two years of the establishment of law and order, all Japanese troops outside the agreed area will be withdrawn. (3) The development and utilization of specific resources in North China and Mongolia, as well as specific resources related to national defense in other regions, should provide Japan with "special and necessary convenience."The Japanese side will provide necessary assistance for China's finances, finance, transportation, and communications.

(4) For Japan-China cooperation matters, Japanese consultants and staff must be hired. The Chinese central government and the highest military organs may hire Japanese consultants.However, military advisers from third countries are not allowed to participate in Japan-China military cooperation matters. From the above, the content of the Japan-Wang secret agreement is extensive and the conditions are extremely harsh. It is ten times more vicious than the twenty-one, and it vividly reveals Japan's ambition to monopolize China, and it vividly reflects Wang Jingwei's eagerness to appear on stage. Gan Dang'er's monkey is in a hurry.

The two parties stipulated that this secret agreement would "never be announced".But within a month, Gao Zongwu and Tao Xisheng rebelled against Wang, and this shady secret agreement was exposed in broad daylight. It turned out that the Wang Jingwei Group gathered a group of people who were mercenary and obsessed with power. They were intrigues and intrigues all the time.Gao Zongwu believed that he had the honor of "founding the country" and would be able to rise from the ground, but he was appointed as the deputy minister of foreign affairs by Wang Nei, and he was extremely dissatisfied.Tao Xisheng originally wanted to be the Minister of Industry, but Wang Jingwei had already promised Mei Siping the lucrative position.Tao also had conflicts with the so-called CC faction such as Zhou Fohai, Mei Siping, and Luo Junqiang. They attacked each other and even fought face to face. CC sent a large number of people, and Tao Yi had to swallow his anger for a while.

In order to organize the puppet central political meeting as soon as possible, Wang Jingwei ordered Zhou Fohai and others to invite "leaders of various legal political parties and people with high expectations in society" to hold the Shanghai meeting. The invited person was Jiang Kanghu, the founder of the Socialist Party of China.At that time, Jiang Kanghu had nothing but his body, and lived in the attic of "Luo Shang Luo Luo", looking for someone to borrow money every day.He relied on Wang Jingwei as the leader of the Socialist Party, but he didn't even have a party member, so he had to join Wang's "peace movement" as a "leader" of the Bachelor Party.The other is Zhu Qinglai, political commissar of the National Socialist Party.Another is Zhao Yusong, a second-rate figure in the Chinese Youth Party.Wang Jingwei allocated them 20,000 to 30,000 yuan in "activity fees" every month, and asked them to play trumpets, carry sedan chairs, and decorate the appearance of "multi-party politics" for the pseudo-Central Political Conference. The "no party, no faction" people include Yuan Shikai's son-in-law Yang Yu, and another Zhao Zhengping who once taught Sun Chuanfang.

The Wang Jingwei group recruited these feudal remnants, uneducated literati, foreign villains, and party stick politicians to piece together their team for the pseudo-central political conference. However, the Japanese stepped up their so-called "Tong work" in direct negotiations with Chongqing from the beginning of March 1940 behind Wang Jingwei's back.Since the negotiations with Chiang Kai-shek did not progress, the Japanese had to turn their attention to Wang Jingwei a little bit. Therefore, the Japanese informed Wang Jingwei that the date of establishment of the "government" was set on April 1.Overjoyed, Wang Jingwei called Zhou Fohai and asked him to make preparations immediately.Zhou Fohai listened, thought for a while, and said: "April 1st, this day is bad and unlucky!" Wang Jingwei was taken aback: "Why is it unlucky?" Zhou Fohai said slowly: "April 1st is 'April Fool's Day' for foreigners. Choosing such a date is obviously a mockery!" Wang Jingwei's face flushed immediately, but he dared not speak out.He negotiated repeatedly through the commander of Japan's dispatched army, Nishio Hisao, before changing the date of forming the government to March 30. On March 20, Wang Jingwei presided over the puppet central political conference in Nanjing.There were 11 members from the Kuomintang, 5 members from the "provisional" government and 5 members from the "reformation" government, and 8 so-called "legitimate" political party leaders and social leaders.The meeting approved the candidates for the institutions and officers of the pseudo-central government. At the same time, the Central Political Committee was organized as the "highest guiding organ in the country". The committee has 6 official members, 4 non-voting members, 19 designated members, and 11 recruitment members . On March 30, Wang Jingwei's puppet national government made its debut in Nanjing under the name of "returning the capital by the national government".According to the various candidate proposals passed by the Political Conference of the Pseudo-Central Committee, the traitor civil and military officials below Wang Jingwei faltered in their clothes and took the oath of office.They are: Acting Chairman of the Puppet Nationalist Government, Premier of Administration and Minister of the Navy Wang Jingwei, President of Legislative Affairs and Minister of Political Training Chen Gongbo, Premier of Justice Wen Zongyao, Superintendent of Supervision Liang Hongzhi, Director of Examinations Wang Yitang, Minister of the Interior Chen Qun, Minister of Foreign Affairs Chu Minyi, Minister of Finance and Police Zhou Fohai, Acting Minister of Military and Political Affairs Bao Wenyue, Minister of Justice Li Shengwu, Minister of Education Zhao Zhengping, Minister of Industry and Commerce Mei Siping, Minister of Railways Fu Shisuo, Minister of Propaganda Lin Bosheng, Minister of Agriculture and Mining Zhao Yusong, Minister of Social Affairs Ding Mocun, transportation Minister Zhu Qinglai, Chairman of the Relief Committee Cen Deguang, Chairman of the Frontier Committee Luo Junqiang, Secretary-General of the Executive Yuan Chen Chunpu, Civil Services Department Jiang Kanghu, Acting Chief of the General Staff Yang Kuiyi, Commander-in-Chief of the Appeasement Army of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui Provinces and President of the Military Council Ren Yuan Dao, Kaifeng Appeasement Director Liu Yufen, Wuhan Appeasement Director Ye Feng, North China Appeasement Army Commander Qi Xieyuan, North China Political Affairs Commission Chairman Wang Kemin, etc. Wang Jingwei handed over the chairmanship of the pseudo-National Government to Lin Sen, who was far away in Chongqing, and acted as the acting chairman himself. His purpose was to make the Chongqing Nationalist Government also implement "peace" with Japan, and Nanjing and Chongqing merged, which can be described as painstaking. That night, Wang Jingwei, the No. 1 traitor leader, delivered a radio speech to Japan, vowing to say: "After deep reflection, I made up my mind to completely abandon the past policy of tolerating the Communist Party and resisting Japan, and re-established the policy of peacefully opposing the Communist Party and building the country." Chen Gongbo, the leader of the No. 1 traitor, also made a speech on the radio, saying: "We must realize that China and Japan are friends in times of need." Unexpectedly, when Wang Jingwei and others took the oath of office, the Japanese government did not immediately recognize it.Wang, Chen, Zhou, etc. proposed to the Japanese side through various channels that in order to save the face of the Wang regime, the Japanese side must send a permanent ambassador, but Japan still ignored it.It turned out that representatives of the Japanese General Staff Headquarters were still conducting "peace negotiations" with representatives of the Chongqing government at this time. The rope that Japan put around Wang Jingwei's neck became tighter and tighter.According to the Japanese-Wang secret treaty, there were "Supreme Military Advisory Department" and "Supreme Economic Advisory Department" within the Wang Puppet National Government, which had supreme power and were the "Supreme Emperor" of the Wang Puppet Government.The various ministries of the puppet government are also controlled by specially responsible consultants, and their power is much greater than that of officials at the same level.Officials in the Wang puppet government, big and small, followed the lead of the Japanese advisers, and their every move depended on their winks. Wang Jingwei and his gang became puppets at the mercy of others. By mid-November, the Japanese government held an imperial meeting and decided to publicly recognize Wang Jingwei's pseudo-national government.At the 28th meeting of the Wang Puppet Central Political Committee, Wang Jingwei was elected as the chairman of the puppet National Government, and the word "agent" was removed.Wang Jingwei also hurriedly issued a telegram and became the chairman of the puppet government. Then, Germany, Italy and their vassal countries Romania, Spain, Hungary, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Denmark, etc. also successively recognized the puppet government of Wang.The largest puppet regime in modern Chinese history was finally established under the bayonet of Japanese imperialism. With the convening of the Japanese government's imperial meeting in mid-November, after the Japanese government publicly recognized Wang Jingwei's pseudo-national government, on November 30, Abe Nobuyuki and Wang Jingwei formally signed the "Treaty on Basic Relations between Japan and the Republic of China" and the subsidiary secret agreement . The Treaty of Basic Relations between Japan and Wang and the Subsidiary Secret Agreement stated that the Imperial Japanese Government and the National Government of the Republic of China hoped that the two countries would respect each other's original "characteristics", and under the common ideal of building a "New East Asian Order" based on "morality and justice", Be good neighbors to each other and cooperate closely to establish a permanent peace in East Asia, and hope to use this as the core to "contribute" to the peace of the world. To this end, the basic principles governing the relations between the two countries have been established, and the agreement is as follows: Article 1: In order to permanently maintain the good-neighborly and friendly relations between the two countries, the governments of the two countries should respect each other's sovereignty and territory, and should emphasize mutual harmony in political, economic, cultural and other aspects.

In order to implement the joint defense of the two countries, Japan will station necessary troops in Mongolia and Xinjiang and certain areas in North China within the necessary period and according to the separate agreement between the two countries. Article 4: The governments of the two countries agree that the Japanese National Army dispatched to the Republic of China shall, in accordance with another provision, closely cooperate with each other in the maintenance of public security until the withdrawal of troops is completed.

Article 8: The governments of the two countries shall make separate agreements on the specific matters necessary to accomplish the purpose of this treaty. Article 9: This treaty shall come into force on the date of signature. This is a blatantly traitorous treaty that disregards the interests of the Chinese nation.Traitors and traitors like Wang Jingwei are greedy for profit, and they are bound to be spurned by people of all ethnic groups in the country!They will also be destined to be nailed to the pillar of shame in history!
