"Mingxiang, why are you sitting in your room laughing?" Wang Zhen felt very strange.
She saw Chen Mingxiang sitting in the teahouse with a smile after sending Gangcun Zhongzuo and others away, not knowing what happened.
"If I had told Okamura Shizo at this moment that it was precisely because of his strong support that I, a small agent of the Military Command Bureau, had come into contact with the top brass of the Japanese army step by step and obtained a large amount of confidential information, I don't know if he would have survived on the spot.
So angry!" Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.
"I feel that when your identity is completely exposed, many people's faces will become very exciting. But from a personal point of view, it is best to continue hiding. There are many people who are dragged down by their reputation, and some things happen.
Something that shouldn’t have happened.”
"There are so many veterans in the Military Command Bureau, and your achievements are so conspicuous. What will others think when they hear about it? The phenomenon of seniority is very serious in every yamen. This is a big hidden danger. I think you
Just keep a low profile!" Wang Zhen said.
"I have a good wife at home!" Chen Mingxiang smiled and gave a very high evaluation.
As a wife, Wang Zhen's performance is impeccable. No matter how big an official he becomes or how much honor he gets, he will always be her husband in her heart, and her starting point is all for the family.
Chen Mingxiang and she were both agents of the Military Command Bureau. When fighting for the country and the nation, they came to Shanghai without hesitation and took risks to deal with the enemy. But now that Japan has been defeated and is about to become the master of the country, her attention
It was immediately transferred to life.

Lieutenant General Ji.
Before dawn on the 15th, these radical officers attacked the residence of Prime Minister Kantaro Suzuki, as well as the private residences of Interior Minister Koichi Kido and former Prime Minister Taisho Kiichiro.

The commander-in-chief of the Second Front, General Shizuichi Tanaka, sent troops to suppress the situation and things were finally settled.

The headquarters is waiting for instructions.
On the afternoon of August 23, General He, Commander-in-Chief of the Army, met with Major General Takeo Imai and informed him that the Yamashiro government would airlift a group of troops to Jinling from August 26 to 30. In the afternoon of that day, Takeo Imai
He left Zhijiang and returned to Jinling, where he reported to Neji Okamura.
"Mingxiang, we received an urgent call from Boss Dai, asking us to immediately start deploying manpower to welcome the advance troops of the Loyalty and National Salvation Army into Shanghai. This time, I want you to negotiate with the Japanese army in advance and don't make the same fool of yourself as you did a few days ago.
"Wang Zhen said holding the telegram.
Chen Mingxiang, who was sleeping soundly, was woken up. He had another busy night last night. Not only did the Marine Corps Headquarters give him a lot of weapons, equipment and supplies, but the Military Police Headquarters also gave him a lot of things. He had to personally receive them.
And hide it in a suitable place.
The radio station in Mara Villa is now on 24 hours a day, and has been increased to two radio stations. Wang Zhen and translator An Ran must have one person in front of the radio station to receive messages at any time.
The one Boss Dai said was making a fool of himself was the Shanghai suburban guerrillas of the Loyalty and National Salvation Army. Without contacting Chen Mingxiang, they were about to enter the Shanghai market. Unexpectedly, they were blocked by the Japanese army. They took this group because they had not received orders.
A guerrilla group was blown away, and the citizens who were harmed were happy in vain. The Loyalty and National Salvation Army of the Military Command Bureau also made a big fool of themselves.
"Okay, I will immediately bring the security squad and the police force to greet you. You go to the concentration camp and discuss with the directors of the former Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau on how to resettle the expatriates and solve temporary living security. I have to make a call to the gendarmerie first.

The military uniforms and rank insignia of the Wang Puppet Government are basically the same as the appearance of the Shancheng Government, with slight differences. Because there are no general uniforms of the Shancheng Government, Chen Mingxiang can only temporarily put on the major general uniform of the Wang Puppet Government. However,
The identification tag on his chest has been replaced by the title of Military Command Bureau.
Preparatory Specialist for the Shanghai Office of the Shancheng Government's Military Unification Bureau. This is the identity given to him by Boss Dai, and it is also in line with the special environment in which he is located.
On the surface, it seems that Chen Mingxiang has no real power, but Boss Dai has informed the general headquarters of the Loyalty and Salvation Army that all troops entering Shanghai must obey Chen Mingxiang's dispatch and command. There is no room for negotiation on this matter. Anyone who disobeys the order
