"Chen Jun, I heard that you were reduced in power by Major General Kinoshita Eichi of the Military Police Headquarters and are no longer responsible for the specific affairs of the inspection team. Is this true?" Colonel Nakajima asked.
Although Saburo Miura of the Military Police Headquarters fell behind and his plot to occupy the concession failed, Chen Mingxiang's one hundred tons of rice still completed the mission, which made Colonel Nakajima very grateful. For this, he received a commendation from the Military Command Department
.
The logistics supply system of the Japanese army is as bad as shit, so it doesn't matter in normal times, but when the war starts, it is difficult for the troops to be protected. Although the navy is slightly better, the Marine Corps is an exception, because the army is always looking for trouble and making things difficult.
Colonel Nakajima was able to mobilize more than one hundred tons of rice in a very short period of time. This ability is rare in the Marine Corps system, so it needs to be commended.
The Marine Corps Command held a summer reception, and Colonel Nakajima personally sent an invitation to Chen Mingxiang. Naturally, the Marine Corps Command also got news of the news from the Military Police Command.
"Good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles. Now the whole Shanghai stock market knows that I have made a mistake. It's not like those Japanese companies always sued me, saying that I undermined the economic interests of the empire. I also took the opportunity to take a break."
Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.
"Chen Sang is a meritorious person who has made great contributions to the empire and is a true good friend of the empire. However, he has been treated so unfairly. Kinoshita Eichi's behavior is really chilling."
"The Army is a group of people who have high ambitions but low ambitions. They fail to succeed but fail more than they should. So what if a few Japanese companies brought trouble to the General Staff Headquarters? They just gave in. Cooperation between the Navy and the Army is simply a shame."
"We at the Navy will not treat you badly. Even if we purchase urgent supplies for the Navy in the future, the Kodama Agency will definitely give you adequate rewards." Kodama and Shifu said beside them.
These words were also inspired by the former military police commander of the Shanghai Municipal Military Police, Major General Miura Saburo. This guy's idea was not bad, but in actual execution, it turned into shit.
The Navy's Third Fleet dispatched more than 20 warships and sailed to the Huangpu River to prepare for shooting. The Marine Corps, armed with live ammunition, was also prepared to enter the concession, but he messed up the matter himself!
What Chen Mingxiang thought was that this old devil would find an opportunity to reach out and try to take advantage of the opportunity when he was "suppressed" by the Military Police Headquarters to get him to serve in the navy.
Given the shady intentions of the Kodama Agency, if Huatong Trading Company was not backed by the Mei Agency and the Military Police Headquarters, and the Navy did not have the power to pass without inspection, it would have been possible to use both soft and hard tactics to swallow up the company and force
I thought that I would join the Kodama Organization to work.
"Currently, Huatong Trading Company's purchasing power has been stretched to its limit. Only when several purchasing stations in Chiang Kai-shek's district start operating smoothly can we significantly increase the number of transactions. We may be able to surprise the head of the agency next spring," Chen Mingxiang said.
"Several companies under the Kodama Agency have also opened branches in Jiangtong District. Unfortunately, none of them have become successful. They are far from my expectations. Chen Sang's talent in business is unmatched by ordinary people.
Yes." Kodama and Shifu said.
Little did this old devil know that it was one thing for Chen Mingxiang to be capable and smart, but that he had a huge military organization as his backing, and 60% of the traded goods were provided by the military.
The thing is, the larger the transaction volume of a company, the more prosperous it seems, the better its payment reputation, and the more people will come to it and actively cooperate with it.
Besides, there are many benefits to cooperating with Huatong Trading Company. Partners’ materials entering and exiting the Shanghai market will receive extra care. Do other companies have such conditions?
"The Imperial Navy has indeed made outstanding achievements during this period. I heard that the large-scale bombing of mountain cities was quite shocking. However, due to the weather, it was unable to display the true strength of the naval aviation. Moreover, the intensity of the bombing was slowly weakening, and the frequency of dispatches was also reduced.
A lot." After Kodama and Shifu left, Chen Mingxiang said.
This was information I got while chatting with Major Gangcun, and it was not considered a military secret. Chen Mingxiang brought up this topic because he naturally wanted to get some information.
A few nights ago, Pan Qiwu gave this instruction in a secret message through the mountain city radio station, asking him to find ways to collect precise information about this bombing.
Boss Dai couldn't eat or sleep at night for the information involving the Japanese strategic bombing. The old man couldn't bear the bombing, and he was very much looking forward to good news from the Military Command Bureau.
From a security perspective, Dai Li did not want Chen Mingxiang to take the initiative to inquire about information from the Japanese side, which would arouse Japanese suspicion. However, Pan Qiwu knew his boss's mood and had no choice but to make his own decisions and ask Chen Mingxiang to collect information.
Raising troops for a thousand days and using them for a while, the safety of Chunfeng is of course important, but the mountain city is bombed every day with houses collapsed and corpses scattered everywhere, so it is time to make full use of Chunfeng's network.
"Your news is correct. The naval aviation logistics at Jiangcheng Airport said that since the end of July, the weather in the mountain city has been cloudy, rainy and shrouded in fog, making it extremely difficult for large-scale bombing. The frequency of bomber dispatches is indeed decreasing."
"Japan's alliance with Germany and Italy will soon enter the implementation stage. The base camp is preparing to enter the French Indochina region. The strategic goals are gradually shifting. According to the Military Command, this major bombing will end in early September." Nakajima
The colonel said.
"It's such a pity that the empire spent so much heavy-duty aircraft and dispatched so many bomber sorties, but failed to accomplish its intended goal." Chen Mingxiang looked regretful.
In fact, he was overjoyed. The Japanese army's bombing of the mountain city would end in early September. This was very important information. He also knew that the mountain city government had been bombed to the point where it could no longer hold on.
In six or seven months, according to Major Okamura, the Japanese army aviation and naval aviation dropped a total of more than 1,500 tons on the mountain city. What a concept!
The news from a businessman in the mountain city said that the bombing killed hundreds of people in the mountain city, destroyed thousands of houses, and caused heavy economic losses. This was despite his advance warning.
"The empire's strategic vision is not only focused on China, but also has longer-term plans. The latest Zero carrier-based fighter jets have entered actual combat and will enter service in China on August 17. Before the end of the middle of the year, they will cover bombers.
To carry out a large-scale bombing on an unprecedented scale, no less than 140 aircraft will be invested for the final intensive bombing." Lieutenant Commander Ono said.
He is the intelligence director of the Marine Corps Command, and the information he received is much more detailed than that of Colonel Nakajima, who is in charge of logistics. He also has a much clearer understanding of the progress and arrangements of the bombing. Baidu search for the latest chapter of "Espionage Network Heroes Literature"
