When Chen Mingxiang arrived in Peiping, he must have been picked up by Colonel Qingyin Qingyin and Yang Junchu, the manager of the Peking branch. In addition, Major General Hikotaro Tajima, the Secret Service Director of the North China Front Army Headquarters, and Lieutenant General Otonzaburo Yano, the North China Dispatch Military Police Headquarters.
Because they took a flight from Bingcheng early in the morning and arrived in Peiping, it was still a little early for dinner. These people went to Chen Mingxiang's home near Yinding Bridge to drink tea and chat. By the way, they also received red envelopes and gifts from Chen Mingxiang.
bullion.
This is a large courtyard with an area of more than 3,000 square meters. After being cleaned up by dedicated personnel, it has now been completely restored to the decorative style of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The furniture is also precious antiquities from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and the materials are mostly huanghuali wood and rosewood.
.
It can be seen that Yang Junchu, the manager of the Peking branch, is very attentive to Chen Mingxiang's instructions. The room is spotless, and there are obviously many antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and the environment looks more elegant.
Yang Junchu called two female employees from the company to come over temporarily to help. Anyway, the boss would not stay too long and would have to leave in two days. In addition to arranging people to be on duty here, he also did not recruit waiters.
"Chen Jun, even if you don't come to Peiping, I will make a special trip to call you in a few days. I have something to tell you. I will be returning to China soon. This may be the last time we see each other." Yano Otonzaburo
The lieutenant general said calmly.
It turns out that Military Police Lieutenant General Yano Otozaburo has reached the age limit. This time he returned to Japan and served as the subordinate of the Japanese Army Education Directorate, which was a false position, and then transitioned to reserve duty for two months.
"Although this incident makes me feel very regretful, it belongs to the system of the imperial army. I can only wish you a good journey, General. In fact, you have contributed to the empire in a foreign country. It is also a kind of reunion with your family when you can go home.
Happiness, I wonder who will take over your position as commander?" Chen Mingxiang asked.
It’s been a long time since I’ve been outside the customs and North China. I didn’t expect that so many things have happened. The intelligence agencies and the gendarmerie are all undergoing personnel adjustments.
These guys have been fed by themselves with gold dollars. Every time one of them is transferred away, it is a loss for themselves, and they have to spend time and effort to please their successors. Just thinking about it gives me a headache.
"The Tokyo Military Police Headquarters has decided that Kato Tomarijiro will serve as the commander of the North China Dispatch Military Police Force and the Commander of the Special Guard Force. The person who will succeed him as the commander of the Kwantung Army Military Police Force is your old acquaintance, Military Police Lieutenant General Saburo Miura.
" Yano Otonzaburo said.
Although he was reluctant to leave this position, due to the military system, he had no choice. The commander of the gendarmerie did not have to fight on the front lines, and his income was very generous, which could be said to be a lucrative position.
It turned out that it was these two bastards. Chen Mingxiang was immediately relieved. The people who were replaced were all old acquaintances, and they were also very greedy. There was absolutely no problem in connecting the relationship.
Unexpectedly, Saburo Miura staged a trick to assassinate Hisao Nishio in order to provoke a war between Japan and Britain and the United States. However, things went wrong and he failed to complete the planned plan, but was discovered by Hisao Nishio.
A conspiracy.
Japan is really a strange country. A military police general who was able to assassinate the commander-in-chief of the dispatched troops actually got the appreciation of the army bosses for this. He was just transferred from his post to have other arrangements, so the matter was covered up.
"I just came back from outside the customs. Kato-kun didn't mention it. Wait, maybe he did. I drank too much and didn't pay attention. In addition, the topics we talked about were all about the strategic attack that will happen next year.
"My head is going to explode now. The dispatched army headquarters has set a very high task for Huatong Trading Company, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to complete it," Chen Mingxiang said.
This brings up the topic. The Kwantung Army only assisted the dispatched troops in combat this time. At most, it transferred the 27th Division directly under the North China Front Army of the dispatched troops from Jincheng to Jinzhou on June 17 last year and transferred it back to Guannei.
.
The North China Front Army was the main component of this great battle. Regarding the following conversation, there must be information that Chen Mingxiang needs to know most.
"At present, the combat orders from the base camp have not been issued to the dispatched army headquarters, and the headquarters has not communicated and negotiated with the North China Front Army Headquarters. It is difficult to say when the attack will be launched, but I am sure that the weather will change.
After the weather warms up, winter will not be suitable for fighting."
"This battle will definitely be fought. The Chief of Operations of the General Staff Headquarters came to Peiping before and had an informal talk with General Okamura Neiji. The headquarters is also starting to conduct battle deductions and prepare in advance. The scheduled attack force is
Twelfth Army Headquarters."
"Since you came to Peiping from outside the customs, you should know about the 27th Division. This matter was coordinated by the North China Front Army and the Kwantung Army at an early stage, and the mobilization will begin as soon as the battle order from the base camp is issued."
"This war is very critical for the empire. Chen Jun must seize the opportunity to perform well. If he can achieve results, he will probably be commended by the empire. When the time comes, Bei Zeping, who is always looking for trouble for you, will not dare to deal with it casually.
You're gone." Qingqi Qingyin said.
The Japanese agents in Mei's agency's intelligence team are all his legacy, and most of them belong to his old subordinates. As long as he is willing, he can get information about Kitazawa Ping at any time.
Although he has been transferred to the North China Front Army Headquarters as the Chief of Staff, relevant news will still reach Qingqi Qingyin's ears, but the time will be delayed for a few days.
Kitazawa attacked Chen Mingxiang and sent people to search for evidence, because he also knew clearly that his face was swollen by Major General Kinoshita Eiichi.
"I would like to show it, but unfortunately, there is currently a shortage of materials available for exchange, especially cotton cloth and cotton yarn. Due to the influence of material control, smuggling is very difficult to do."
"This time I came to Peiping, I also wanted to meet General Shiozawa Kiyonori. Considering that sea transportation is becoming more and more risky, I hope to stock up enough coal and salt for the Shanghai market in the spring and summer of next year. I hope he can give me
If you have enough authority, give me more shares." Chen Mingxiang said.
He didn't expect to go out and find out the inside story of all strategic offensives. That was impossible. After all, the military's combat orders had not yet been issued, and the combat plan had not been released. Everything was waiting.
.
What he can know is some of the Kwantung Army and North China's campaign preparations. If he wants to know more clearly, he must keep an eye on the headquarters of the dispatched army. Once the combat order is issued, there will definitely be news.
"You are thinking very long-term. I think General Shiozawa Kiyonori will agree with what you mean. By the way, he has been promoted to lieutenant general now. You can prepare a gift for him to congratulate him. He is only a small-scale
I invited some friends for a drink," Qingqi Qingyin said with a smile.
