The gendarmerie is a military unit, and the gendarmerie is a military unit that also conducts military operations such as combat. However, in a strict sense, the nature of this organization is more similar to a military and police gendarmerie complex.
The Special High School Division is responsible for collecting intelligence, supervising public opinion and destroying anti-Japanese organizations. The Police Division is responsible for managing the police and maintaining law and order. The Judicial Division is responsible for the discipline of the army. The General Affairs Division is responsible for the economy and materials. It also has combat troops under its subordinates. The municipal government has a large number of functions, which are subject to
The gendarmerie was restrained.
Zhou Fahai didn't like to deal with the generals of the military police, and no one wanted to deal with the military police. Er Chen Mingxiang was one of the very few who could thrive in the Japanese military police system.
"It's okay. The new commander of the military police is Colonel Shifang Ryo. He used to be Tojo Hideki's confidant. Just wait and see. How it was before will be what it will be in the future. For me, even if I change the commander
, there won’t be much difference when doing things.” Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.
He planned to use Lieutenant General Kato Tomarijiro's relationship to assimilate Shitaka Ryo and Colonel Shitaka as soon as possible. Even though this guy is very stubborn, in the face of the interests of the entire military police force, he has no choice but to give in. If he can't be soft, he can be hard. The key is
Tojo Hideki fell, right?
"The Gendarmerie is the most difficult department to deal with, and you are the only one who can say this, I firmly believe it. If anyone else had said this, I would have scolded him out a long time ago!"
"It sounds like you have received news from the Japanese army. Even I feel envious of this speed. The Military Police Headquarters did not report this situation to Jinling." Zhou Fahai also smiled.
It is extremely rare for Chen Mingxiang to have close contacts with senior Japanese generals. It is said that his home, the Mala Villa, is now a gathering place for important Japanese generals stationed in Shanghai. People come to his house every now and then to drink tea and drinks.
What can't be done in a relationship?
This time Chief of Staff Matsui Tataro would arrange a transport plane for him. Chen Mingxiang did not disturb the Jinling Military Police Headquarters. Instead, on the morning of the 25th, he went to the office of the Executive Yuan and met with Chen Gongbo. He had to say hello before leaving.
"Since it involves the replacement of the commander of the Gendarmerie Headquarters, I won't keep you. Now there are a lot of things going on, which makes me tired to deal with it. I didn't know that I didn't sit in this position before, but now that I sit in it, I feel
It's better not to sit down." Chen Gongbo said a little tiredly.
It can be said that Chen Gongbo, the top leader of Wang's puppet government, is busy taking over the affairs of the government and the army, or in other words, he is busy taking over power. He has no time to sit down with Chen Mingxiang for the time being, so he will be there on the 25th.
At noon, I took a flight back to Shanghai.
Before coming, he made a phone call to Kinoshita Sakae City, so the car from the Military Police Headquarters had already been waiting for him at Hongqiao Airport to take him back to the Military Police Headquarters headquarters.
"This time it was indeed very sudden. On the 22nd, I received a telegram from the Commander of the Tokyo Military Police Headquarters, saying that Senior Colonel Shifang Rong was coming to take over my post. I would fly back to Japan on December 1st.
I calculated that it was still too late, so I didn’t notify you in advance." Kinoshita Eichi said.
He received Chen Mingxiang in his dormitory, specially boiled water to make a pot of tea, and asked the cafeteria to cook some Japanese side dishes, preparing to have a few drinks with his most admired helper.
He is a helper. Although Chen Mingxiang was originally an intelligence officer in the Special Second Class, the Special High Class cannot have a Chinese establishment. It is nothing more than a temporary establishment. It has also become Chen Mingxiang's talisman. Many things require this identity to handle.
But in Kinoshita Sakae's mind, Chen Mingxiang is his assistant. He can perform functions that the gendarmerie does not have. He can smuggle materials from Shanghai to the Kuomintang-controlled area, and then conduct transactions with the military command bureau. This also makes the gendarmerie talk nonsense.
While enjoying the oil, I also received a commendation from the base camp.
"Your Excellency General, from the second half of the 29th year of the Republic of China to the end of the 33rd year of the Republic of China, we have known each other for almost four years, and we have a profound friendship with each other."
"When you were the commander, you gave me a lot of help, which made me where I am now. I really can't bear to see you leave!" Chen Mingxiang said with emotion.
It’s true that I can’t bear to part with you, you’re done!
As for friendship, there is no such thing. If Kinoshita Eichi knew that he had been supporting an agent of the Military Command Bureau, he would be furious or commit suicide immediately.
"When I served as the Commander of the Gendarmerie in Central China for several years, I also benefited a lot from your help, Mr. Chen. I earned wealth that generations of people did not have to worry about food and clothing. Speaking of which, I have to thank you. This time
When he returns to his country, he may be promoted to lieutenant general and then transferred to the reserve force."
"You don't have to worry too much about what happens after I leave. Okamura-kun and the others are still at the headquarters. It's easy to talk about anything. Even if Mr. Sifang comes, it will take several months to get familiar with the work. For the benefit of the entire military police force
Consider that he must cooperate with you to maintain the situation."
"Chen Jun, the entire military police force in Central China has become accustomed to a high standard of living and generous income with your strong support. If all this is changed by the new commander, then this person will have no authority in the military police force.
It can be said.”
"We are good friends. Before I leave, I have to say a few words to you. You must be aware of the situation of the empire. I am afraid that this war will not last long. At the current rate, if the US military fights the empire on home soil,
, the time may last two years, and if there are any changes before the decisive battle on the mainland, it will take up to one year." Kinoshita Eichi said with a wry smile.
This is his judgment on the current war situation as the commander of the military police, or it may not be his own judgment, but comes from other sources of information.
Even such generals feel despair about the prospect of war between Japan and the United States. They even judge that there are still two years at most, and this is still a decisive battle on home soil. One can imagine the worries of those high-level generals.
It must be stronger.
"Your Majesty General, I can say that I have served the empire in China's war for more than five years, basically in the name of the military police. The relationship between us is inseparable. If the empire's war fails, what would you advise me?
?Go to Japan in advance to escape?" Chen Mingxiang asked.
"It is actually very easy to arrange for you to go to Japan. I have someone who can do it. In fact, many empire generals are willing to help you. But if the empire fails, it will lose the ability to protect you. There is no point in hiding in Japan.
, it is better to stay in China and wait for new opportunities."
"There are many people like you serving the empire. The entire occupied area or hundreds of thousands or millions. Faced with such a situation, the mountain city government cannot send everyone to prison. That is very unrealistic.
Question." Kinoshita Eichi shook his head and said.
