On December 16, 1938, Wang Jingwei met with Jiang Jie in Chongqing. Two days later, he rushed to Chengdu on the pretext of participating in the memorial activities. Then, he passed through Kunming and slipped into the South River on the 21st. On the 28th, he published the "Yan Dian" of treason and defection, openly embarking on the evil road of abandoning the motherland. Wang Jingwei's decision to join the Japanese had a strong impact on Wu Peifu, especially after Wang Jingwei sent him a message inviting him to "cooperate". His contradictory psychology made him even more restless. He also knew in his heart that in terms of political capital, he was far inferior to Wang Jingwei. If his attitude continued to be ambiguous, it might eventually lead to Japan abandoning him. In this way, he would never be able to stand out in politics. However, if he were to announce his cooperation with Wang Jingwei now, he was afraid that the people would turn against him. If he was not careful, his ending might be even more tragic. Tufei Yuan naturally read Wu Peifu's mind, and he never gave up his work on Wu Peifu. Because he understood that although Wang Jingwei was dead set on working for Japan, Wang Jingwei had no military power in his hands. Without the backing of a big warlord, the regime was difficult to stabilize. If Wu Peifu was added, it would undoubtedly be ideal to form a confluence of Wang and Wu. Therefore, while he continued to strengthen his work on Wu Peifu, he also waited patiently.
However, even if Tufei had the patience, the Japanese North China Army and the Japanese Xingya Institute in Peiping did not have such patience. In addition, the puppet regime of Wang Kemin in Peiping obstructed Wu Peifu's coming out of the mountain, causing Tufei to fall into a situation of internal and external difficulties. When Tufei Plain was besieged on all sides, Wang Jingwei and Wu Peifu took the initiative to contact Tufei Plain and temporarily freed it. In June 1939, when Wang Jingwei went to Japan to curry favor with his master, he passed by Peiping and wanted to meet Wu Peifu. However, because Wu insisted on meeting in his private house, the Wang-Wu Beiping meeting was aborted. After Wang Jingwei resentfully returned to Shanghai, he sent his confidant Zhao Shuyong to Peiping to discuss cooperation with Wu Peifu. In the end, Wu Peifu finally reached an agreement with him. The two sides agreed that in the future new government, the party power would be controlled by Wang Jingwei, and the military power would be controlled by Wu Peifu.
When Hihara heard the news, he was so excited that his fat face turned red. He wanted to return to Tokyo immediately to ask for rewards. However, at this time, the news from Beiping completely dropped Tufei Plain from the peak of excitement to the bottom of disappointment-Wu Peifu died of illness! According to the news from Beiping, Wu Peifu was originally only infected with dental disease by chance. It was not a big deal, but after being introduced by the Japanese secret agent to a Japanese dental doctor, he was complicated with blood poisoning during the treatment process and eventually died. Tufei Yuan knew very well that this must have been the doing of the North China Army. They had never had a good impression of Wu Peifu. He couldn't help but sigh,"The glorious future of the Great Japan Empire has been ruined by these useless fools." The conspiracy of the Wang and Wu concourse in Dohei Hara had finally failed. His "Dohei Hara Agency" could only be disbanded hastily, and the day of "Shigemitsu Hall" finally came. Doihara had no choice but to return to Japan dejectedly. After returning to the country, he was first appointed as the commander of the Northern Manchurian Fifth Army, and later transferred to the military council and the principal of the Army Sergeant School. In April 1941, he was promoted to Army General and served as Army Air Director. In March 1943, he was sent to Shinjiapo as the commander of the Japanese Seventh Front Army. In April 1945, he was transferred back to Tokyo as the Director of Education. He eventually walked into the Yokohama Criminal Prison and Tokyo Sugamo Prison.
