Preparing the meeting location and being qualified to attend the meeting does not mean that he knows the content of the meeting. Chen Mingxiang deliberately used vague words to mislead Colonel Matsuda's habitual thinking, hoping to get some valuable information from him.
This Japs is the intelligence director of the Thirteenth Army Headquarters, directly under the leadership of the Chief of Staff. With his identity and position, he should know a lot of high-level information.
"The imperial meeting convened by His Majesty the Emperor has already determined the strategic direction of the imperial army. Chen Jun must have heard about it. The navy's southward strategy was finally adopted by the military."
"First there was the Zhang Gufeng incident, and then there was the Nomenkan incident. The Army failed to achieve results in both attempts, but instead suffered heavy losses. This led to the high-level leaders leaning towards the Navy's strategy, and they will start implementing it as soon as the Imperial Council approves it."
"If you want to implement this strategy, the navy and army must have a large number of troops to participate in the war, so countless military supplies are also needed. Shanghai and Central China must help the imperial army purchase these necessities. Your participation is inevitable
." Colonel Matsuda said.
He did not doubt Chen Mingxiang's words at all. The content of tonight's meeting could not be hidden from this guy. In the eyes of the Japanese army stationed in Shanghai, Chen Mingxiang would be one of the main players in this material preparation work.
"If the amount of supplies needed is too large and the time is too tight, I'm afraid it will delay the imperial army's military operations, so we have to make plans in advance." Chen Mingxiang said.
Colonel Matsuda's words verified that the information given by the navy was accurate. Japan was indeed going to enter Southeast Asia, which would greatly reduce the pressure on the Yamashiro government on the frontal battlefield.
"The imperial meeting on specific operations has not been held. Negotiations with the United States are also in progress. The base camp is still formulating a combat plan. There should be enough time. I will give you a rough deadline by then."
"According to the conditions of mobilizing nearby geographical locations, the 48th Division of Taiwan and the subordinate divisions of the 13th Army will definitely be the first batch. Shanghai is the main material distribution center, and this time the Jinling government will help acquire and
Don’t put too much pressure on yourself when recruiting supplies," Colonel Matsuda said.
No wonder Chen Gongbo said that some people were so hungry that their eyes were green. He was referring to the fact that the Japanese asked the Jinling government and the pseudo-Shanghai Special Municipal Government to "serve" this war and purchase or plunder supplies at low prices in central China.
Even if they are already notorious, these traitors still want to pretend to be serving the country and the people, such as Wang Jingwei's "curve to save the country" traitor theory.
Chen Gongbo, as Wang's second traitor, is certainly unwilling to do this. The key is that Wang's current foundation is unstable and he is promoting the so-called "orthodox government."
After all this, forcing and robbing, Nawang's reputation has definitely become infamous in Central China. Isn't he just slapping himself in the mouth?
The information revealed by Colonel Matsuda was invaluable to Chen Mingxiang, especially the confirmation of the southward strategy and the general scope of the army's vanguard force.
Although he didn't know the specific time or the deployment of the military operation, these alone were enough for him to ask for credit from Boss Dai.
At seven o'clock, Major General Kinoshita Sakaeichi of the Military Police Headquarters and Major General Matsue of the Marine Corps Headquarters, Major General Maeda Masami of the Army Ministry's Secret Service in Shanghai, Shioi Eiichi and Okaki Katsuo of the Japanese Consulate General in Shanghai,
Riddle, the general director of the Concession Industry Bureau, Smythe, the police chief, the consuls general of the consulates general of various countries in Shanghai, and important figures in Shanghai's industrial and commercial circles came to the reception one after another.
Of course, Li Shiqun and Pan Tao from the Secret Service Headquarters, Lu Ying and others from the City Police Department, Lieutenant Colonel Qingqi from the Mei Agency, Lieutenant Colonel Ono and Colonel Nakajima from the Marine Corps Command also came.
Agents of the municipal government, leaders of the eight major bureaus, and leaders of counties, districts and offices also came to support him. Chen Mingxiang was the most popular person in front of Chen Gongbo.
"Miss Mo, the mayor asked me to tell you to go to Building 2 of the Garden House to record and translate for him. I will have someone take you there." Chen Mingxiang found Mo Guokang and said.
"This band is very good at playing. The dance music has just started, and I have to leave here. It's really a disappointing thing. I originally planned to dance with you!" Mo Guokang said with a smile.
"This meeting won't be too long. It will probably end at eight o'clock. In fact, I am also looking forward to dancing with the most beautiful lady tonight. See you later!" Chen Mingxiang also said with a smile.
Dancing with Chen Gongbo's secretary and "" is an exciting thing for Chen Mingxiang, but the purpose is not to tease her, but to get closer to her. This woman can be Chen Gongbo's home, which is also Chen Mingxiang's trump card in the city government.
Although Mo Guokang is beautiful and elegant, he is not considered to be the best in a place like Shanghai, where there are many outstanding beauties.
"Commissioner Chen, you seem to have an unusual relationship with the mayor's sweetheart. Aren't you afraid that the mayor will be jealous?" Renji said with a smile behind him.
"Aji, if I dance with you, will the old man in your family be jealous?" Chen Mingxiang picked up two glasses of wine and handed her one.
This top dancer in Shanghai is known as Gone with the Wind. Her appearance can be described as a sensation at the reception. Everyone knows that Pan Sansheng regards her as his favorite. Since the two got married, Ling Ji has been the boss's wife and rarely appears at the party.
Such an occasion.
"Then what are you waiting for? I'm staying at BOC's villa tonight. Come sit down at my place after the reception. I have some news to tell you." Ling Ji leaned into his ear and said.
It must be news about Su Chengde, this damn traitor to the Central Government, who has his own private room in Zhaofeng Club, where he specializes in making deals with the Hua arrest leader in the patrol room, and Ling Ji, as the boss's wife, may have heard some news.
"Mr. Chen, I am Davis from the U.S. Consulate General in Shanghai. Can I talk to you in private?" A foreigner speaking English came over and said.
Chen Mingxiang, who had just danced a song with Ling Ji, would naturally not refuse such a request. Moreover, he was in a very happy mood at the moment. He had obtained Japanese military intelligence and danced with the most famous backup dancer in Shanghai.
This very charming woman seemed to have encountered something. Her performance tonight was a bit beyond the standard. Chen Mingxiang could clearly feel her warm body, graceful curves and soft little hands. There was nothing he could do, she was too close.
Some.
"Sir Davis, please tell me, how can I help you?" Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.
The two came to an inconspicuous seat in the corner. He knew that this man was the consul of the Consulate General, but he had not yet started to interact with him.
"Shanghai, as the largest international city in Asia, plays a very important role in commercial trade. A large amount of materials come to Shanghai from all over the world, and a large share of them was acquired by your Huatong Trading Company. We American businessmen,
I also hope to cooperate with your company." Davis said. Go to Baidu to read the latest chapter of "Ji Zhong Literature" for free as soon as possible.
