The first thousand one hundred and ninety-ninth chapters are in the beginning of the conspiracy
On the morning of the second day after arriving in Peiping, accompanied by Lieutenant General Kato Torajiro, Commander of the North China Military Police Force, and Lieutenant General Shiozawa Kiyonori, Minister Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Consulate General in Peiping, Chen Mingxiang, Political Affairs Councilor of the Executive Yuan of the Jinling Government and Director of the Police Department, pretended to be
"Inspected" the Public Security Bureau of the North China Government Affairs Commission.
The scene was quite lively. Not only did the main leaders of the General Administration of Public Security and the director of the Peking Special City Police Department You Bolu, the mayor of the pseudo-Beiping Special City Liu Yushu, and senior officials from the city government also came, they really gave Chen Mingxiang face.
Speaking of which, Chen Mingxiang's rank is the same as that of Liu Yushu, and they are both special officials. However, in terms of real power, the political affairs committee members of the Executive Yuan are not as powerful as the mayors of special cities. The difference is roughly not much different.
Rather than giving face to Chen Mingxiang, more accurately, it should be to give face to the two Japanese lieutenant generals. Chen Mingxiang was so knowledgeable that even when he came to North China, he was still supported by senior Japanese generals.
Chen Mingxiang had a simple discussion with the people from the General Administration of Public Security in the conference room, and then had lunch. In the afternoon, he visited the city police station and went home without having dinner. We had not had much contact with each other before.
If you don't feel comfortable being hypocritical or submissive, why bother with that?
"Director Chen's visit to Peking this time has caused quite a stir. There are rumors all over Peiping that important figures from the Jinling government are here." Yoshiko Kawashima said with a smile.
Chen Mingxiang had a premonition that she would come, so after dinner, he ordered his bodyguards to take her directly to the living room when she arrived, and even made a pot of tea to wait.
Sure enough, until about ten o'clock, Kawashima Yoshiko came quietly. Although her current status was very different from that of the previous two years, she still did not dare to be the least bit presumptuous towards him.
"I heard that Miss Kawashima is doing very well in Peking and Tianjin. She is very proud of herself. She interacts with government officials and Japanese generals every day. Her relationships are getting stronger and our friendships are getting deeper. She is very knowledgeable in Peiping.
A character." Chen Mingxiang also said with a smile.
"It's all because of Director Chen's support and the business of smuggling salt that I can make a living in Pingjin and Tianjin. How can I say that my hands and eyes are so powerful with this small change?"
"Director Chen, on the other hand, has now become the political affairs committee member of the Jinling Government's Executive Yuan. Chen Gongbo is also the acting chairman of the Jinling Government. He controls all military and political power. Your position has become more and more stable."
"Last night, I heard that the commander of the North China Front, Lieutenant General Shimomura Sada, specially invited you to a banquet at the officers' club. This kind of treatment is unprecedented. You are the one who deserves to have the best hands and eyes."
"Director Chen, based on your personal relationship with Colonel Qingqi Qingyin, you must know that Lieutenant Colonel Kitazawa Ping, the director of the Mei Agency's intelligence team, came to Peiping yesterday, right?" Kawashima Yoshiko said.
She originally grew up in Japan, speaks fluent Japanese, and was awarded the rank of Army Major by the Kwantung Army. She has always had a good relationship with the Japanese generals, which is also her biggest resource for obtaining Japanese intelligence.
Yoshiko Kawashima knew the background of Lieutenant General Shimomura Sada very well, and knew that he was a very powerful person, or that there was a powerful person behind him. His classmates from the Japanese royal family supported him, which few people in the Japanese army dared to provoke.
.
After Shimomura Sada came to Peiping and served as the commander of the North China Front, his behavior was very low-key. Except for the time when he first took office, the North China Political Affairs Commission hosted a banquet for him and the Peiping Special Municipal Government hosted a banquet for him. The rest of the time, he did not appear in any public event.
Occasion, let alone whom to entertain!
Kawashima Yoshiko also knew that Lieutenant General Shimomura Sada was the commander of the Japanese Thirteenth Army before he became the commander of the Western Army and was stationed in Shanghai. Of course, he had contact with Chen Mingxiang.
But she never expected that the personal relationship between the two would be so deep. As soon as Chen Mingxiang came to Peiping, he would take the initiative to treat him to a banquet. It would not be because Chen Mingxiang sent money to someone of this level!
"Ms. Kawashima is indeed a senior in the intelligence circle. It's not easy to find out what happened last night so quickly. It seems that the North China Front Army Headquarters also has its own source of intelligence."
"Currently, I only know that he is a classmate in Japan with Lieutenant Colonel Oi, the staff officer of the first section of the headquarters. I haven't heard anything else yet. Tell me, what interesting news did you get?" Chen Mingxiang asked.
"Kita Zeping's visit to Peking was very short this time. He flew back to Shanghai yesterday morning. And last night, another staff officer from the first class, Major Ono, came to my place for dinner and occasionally talked about this matter.
, because he is a combat staff officer, I attach great importance to my dealings with him, and generally speaking, he has no secrets from me."
"The underground party troops are currently very active in North China, especially in the Henan, Anhui and Jiangsu areas. They often have small-scale battles with the Japanese army. The environment in the occupied areas is getting worse and worse. Each division has also proposed to the headquarters to carry out small-scale encirclement and suppression campaigns.
plan."
"Major Ono is in the first section of the headquarters, and he is specifically responsible for the management of these plans. He found it strange that Oi Naka was adjusting the combat plans. He quietly paid attention out of curiosity, and actually found Kitazawa Ping coming to the headquarters.
The purpose is to get an outline of these plans.”
"He only intercepted the troop number, time and place, etc., without asking about the process. This formed an important and simple piece of information, which has no meaning to the mountain city government, but to the underground party's army, it is
It’s very valuable.”
"The key is that the implementation of these plans must be reported to the dispatched army headquarters for filing. In particular, General Okamura and Chief of Staff Matsui Tatarō must review the actions of the North China Front Army. As long as they are compared with the plans of the North China Front Army Headquarters
, you will know the authenticity immediately.”
"Major Ono vaguely heard that Kitazawa used this thing to frame Director Chen. As for the specific operation, he didn't hear clearly, but we can all guess it. It was nothing more than setting up a trap to dig a hole.
One set." Yoshiko Kawashima said with a smile.
It's really strange. In Kitai Zeping's logical thinking, didn't he always think that he was an agent of the Military Command Bureau? When did he want to connect himself with the underground party?
Did he plan to use this thing to deliberately leak it to himself to test who he was? Or maybe he asked Wang Meilin to put the things in his home and then suddenly conduct a big search? Logically speaking, he shouldn't be like this
Stupid?
"This is interesting. Kitai Zeping wanted to kill me, and it didn't happen in a day or two. I didn't expect that even the underground party would be involved."
"Ms. Kawashima, this situation is very important to me, so I naturally want to repay you. Tell me, do you want me to pay you US dollars, or do something for you?" Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.
(Sorry everyone, I still have to take a work exam, so I’ll keep it to two chapters, thank you!)
