The first time she came to Chen Mingxiang's residence, Wang Zhen walked around the yard first. She liked the surrounding environment of this garden house very much, especially the European-style garden grass and trees.
There are twelve guards from the inspection team on duty here, equipped with all German Army standard assault rifles and shells, and the firepower is quite good.
"Shanghai is an occupied area, and the social order is a bit chaotic. When I work for the Japanese and puppet forces, I will inevitably offend some people. It is easy to hide from hidden arrows, and it is difficult to prevent them. Without some safety measures, I always feel uneasy." Chen Mingxiang said self-deprecatingly.
.
The decoration of the house is very careful, the furniture and furnishings are quite tasteful, and it feels warm and romantic. It can be seen that the previous hostess decorated it according to the concept of home.
"You actually put the radio station in the study like this, aren't you afraid of being seen?" When Wang Zhen came to the study to visit, he found a brand new radio station that had just been opened.
"It doesn't matter if someone sees it. This radio is the latest model of the Japanese Navy. It is small in size and high in power. It has been registered with the Intelligence Division of the Marine Corps Headquarters. There is also one in the telecommunications room of the headquarters of Huatong Trading Company. This is
Spare, for me, this thing is not that rare." Chen Mingxiang said indifferently.
Radio stations are absolute military supplies and are strictly controlled. Unexpectedly, in Chen Mingxiang's place, they are just like regular items, and there are actually spare ones!
"You mean, it's more than just a radio station?" Wang Zhen asked.
"Of course, when I first came to Shanghai to perform my mission, I brought a radio with me. This is my secret. You can use it when necessary."
"I got two radio stations from the Japanese Navy. One was given to me by the Special High School and placed at the Luzhou acquisition station in Anhui Province. I plan to get three to four more radio stations for the Japanese army. Each acquisition station outside must have one.
." Chen Mingxiang said.
"Oh my god, how come the Japanese army is so trusting of you and even gave you military radio stations to use? I'm afraid even the Shanghai District can't match the number, and there aren't even so many in a division, right?" Wang Zhen was shocked.
The Japanese military has extremely strict control over radio communications. The Japanese puppet intelligence agencies, the military and a few special persons can only use radio stations if they have registered in advance. Beyond this scope, it is almost impossible to arrest one by one. Chen Mingxiang openly owns multiple radio stations, which is simply unbelievable.
"There is no way to make phone calls between Shanghai City and the Kuomintang District, and the distance is very long. I can only rely on radio to communicate. My Huatong Trading Company's Kuomintang District acquisition station is important to the Japanese Army and Navy, so the radio station is important to me.
It’s a small thing.”
“According to the plan, Yunnan Province, Sichuan Province and Guizhou Province each have one purchasing station, and the goods are transported directly from Qinzhou to Shanghai by freighter, and there is one each in Hunan Province, Anhui Province and Zhejiang Province, mainly by a combination of land and water routes.
"
"The purchasing stations in Anhui, Gui, Hunan and Zhejiang provinces have been officially opened for business, and the rest will also be open before the end of the year. The entire Kuomintang-controlled area will establish a huge material purchasing and transportation network. This is why I can take charge of Huatong
The fundamental reason for the trading company." Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.
The radio station itself is not the problem, the problem is where it is used. Huatong Trading Company serves the Japanese, so it is necessary to use the radio station.
Moreover, the radio station is mainly for business information exchange between Chiang Kai-shek's district and the Shanghai stock market. The codes are all compiled by the Special Higher Education Section of the Military Police Headquarters and the Telecommunications Department of the Secret Service Headquarters. What could possibly go wrong with this?
Moreover, the Japanese would not be 100% assured of Chen Mingxiang, and were also worried that someone would use Huatong Trading Company's commercial radio station to send intelligence, and they must have secretly arranged surveillance methods.
Therefore, what Chen Mingxiang can use to contact the bureau headquarters is his own radio station and the radio station at home. Others cannot help for the time being.
In fact, he had purchased several German military radios through Dehua Foreign Company, but this secret could not be revealed to Wang Zhen for the time being.
First, the place to install the radio station was not found properly. He planned to arrange a few more stations in Shanghai to use it as a cover or to hide and seek with the special high school class when necessary.
Second, the directly affiliated station already has two radio stations, so there is no need for this at the moment.
Third, do not reveal all your trump cards unless absolutely necessary.
Although the two were partners, they were also superiors and subordinates of the station directly under the Military Command Bureau. In addition, Chen Mingxiang had just made contact not long ago, and Chen Mingxiang was also worried that Wang Zhen had other tasks.
In the past, when I worked hard in Shanghai, I could do whatever I said, and even if I lied, Boss Dai would not know about it. But now, many things need to be done with caution. This is also the instinctive reaction of an agent.
In the next two days, Wang Zhen was really dazzled. What Chen Mingxiang said was true. There was an endless stream of people who came to visit and give gifts. Although she was in the study and did not go downstairs, she could still hear it with the door open.
to some conversation.
"Why are we so strangers to each other? We are all brothers. It is not good to spread the word if it is too grand." Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.
The people who came to visit this time were people from the Guard Corps, Wu Sibao, She Aizhen, Zhang Lu, Pan Ta, Zhang Guozhen, Wang Ji'an and others. The things they brought filled half of the living room.
Red wine and cigars, bird's nests, deer antlers and ginseng, watches and ties, cosmetics and perfumes, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, etc. Some of them were probably stolen. What kind of antiques do these gangsters know?
"Thank you for taking special care of us. Last year our brothers had a lot less money. We have been thinking of thanking you very much. No, the secret service headquarters has two days off during the Spring Festival. We all get together to see you. I will treat you at Paramount tonight.
Wu Sibao said with a smile.
Now the two are not on the same level, the gap is too wide. More than a year ago, Chen Mingxiang gave gifts to Wu Sibao, but now, Wu Sibao has to accompany his smiling face to the door to give gifts.
"Brother Si Bao, these gifts you gave us are too valuable. Everyone is working at the secret service headquarters, so there is no need to be so polite. If you have anything to say, just say it." Chen Mingxiang said.
"Director Chen also knows that the affairs of the Huxi Police Station have been settled, but the position of director is being competed for in all aspects. Lu Ying from the police station even contacted the Mei Agency, and Japanese consultants also spoke for him."
"Both General Yingzuo and Lieutenant Colonel Qingqi feel very embarrassed and do not want to dampen the enthusiasm of the police station. After all, the director of the police station should be nominated and appointed by Lu Ying."
"I heard from Director Li that if we really want to compete with Lu Ying, it will be a lose-lose situation for both sides, and that old guy is not easy to mess with."
"I didn't expect Mayor Chen Gongbo to attach great importance to you. It was because of your suggestion that this position was given to the Secret Service Headquarters. So, who will be the director of our Secret Service Headquarters? He is ready to listen to your suggestions."
"The people in the Action Corps are also very greedy for this position. They give gifts and entrust people. Director Li is also worried that an uneven bowl of water will arouse the dissatisfaction of the Action Corps." Wu Sibao said.11
