It was not until 8:30 that Wang and the heavyweights of the Japanese army entered the venue. This lineup was not unpowerful, and it immediately attracted the attention of many people, especially those from the consulates general of various countries in Shanghai.
Wang's representatives are traitor No. 2 Chen Gongbo, traitor No. 3 Zhou Fahai and the slightly less important Ding Mocun.
Representatives of the Japanese Army include Army Lieutenant General Dohashi, Deputy Chief of Staff of the Expeditionary Forces Headquarters, Army Lieutenant General Sawada Shigeru, Commander of the Thirteenth Army, and Army Major General Kage Sasayaaki of the Ume Agency.
The Japanese Navy includes Admiral Shitaro Shimada, commander of the front fleet, Vice Admiral Takahashi Imo, commander of the Third Fleet, and Vice Admiral Tsuda Shizue of the Central China Liaison Department of Koain.
There were two Japanese people whom Chen Mingxiang didn't recognize. They should be senior officials in the Japanese government. The people who accompanied them as translators were Nanzo Yunzi and Mo Guokang.
“Ladies and gentlemen, friends from Japan, friends from the consulates general of various countries in Shanghai, friends from the Concession Industry and Industry Bureau, friends from the Shanghai Special Municipal Government and various districts and counties, as well as friends from the Shanghai industrial and commercial circles, I, Chen Mingxiang,
As the Commissioner of the External Affairs Liaison Office of the Shanghai Special Municipal Government, I welcome everyone." At Chen Gongbo's signal, Chen Mingxiang delivered a speech as the Foreign Affairs Commissioner.
This manuscript was written by the secretary of the Municipal Government Secretariat, who stayed up several nights and was personally read and approved by Chen Gongbo.
Although the Jinling government is a puppet government, the traitors still have to save face. The more such an occasion, the more they must show the momentum of an "orthodox government".
For a full fifteen minutes, Chen Mingxiang's mouth was dry. The reporters in the audience kept taking pictures, and the flash lights dazzled his eyes. The guests who came to the reception also applauded many times to welcome him.
In order to avoid a cold start, arrange for someone to lead the applause in advance. Details determine success or failure.
"Chen Mingxiang is really amazing. Look at the layout of this reception hall. You can't find many places in Shanghai. The marble floor at the entrance can be used as a mirror. The carpets inside are also imported. There are also crystals on the roof.
The chandelier makes me dizzy!" Wu Sibao said in amazement.
"You can smoke imported cigars that cost dozens of dollars per box, drink red wine that costs hundreds of dollars per bottle, and have hundreds of dishes, including Western and Japanese food, and even sashimi. Even the Japanese general praised it and said it tastes good."
Pan said as he stood aside.
"Have you country bumpkins ever seen high-end events? Keep your voice down, and don't let anyone say that the leaders of our secret service headquarters don't understand the rules. With Chen Gongbo's support and money from the market treasury, there's nothing strange about pretending like this." Li Shiqun smiled.
Said, but his eyes were fixed on Ding Mo Village.
How did Ding Mocun participate in such a high-level meeting? Zhou Fahai was still a brother. What kind of thing was he doing?
"I heard that Chen Mingxiang got a pair of Chen Gongbo's sisters to work as secretaries in the Foreign Affairs Office. Look, the eyes of these two beauties sparkled when they looked at him!" Wu Sibao said with a smile.
"That's not all. Look, Pan Sansheng's wife Ling Ji is also here. The two danced just now, and their posture was extremely intimate. I guess Chen Mingxiang has cuckolded Lao Pan a long time ago!" Pan Tao said in a low voice.
This kind of topic is naturally a topic among men. Women talk about men, and men talk about women. Even Li Shiqun is very interested in this kind of thing. His private life is also a mess.
"Who would have thought that the little translator at the Secret Service Headquarters could reach this stage today? I heard that he is still a simple official, equivalent to a deputy minister!" Liu Nina looked at Chen Mingxiang with confused eyes.
She watched Chen Mingxiang translate from the secret service headquarters to the present step by step. She watched the high-spirited man speak to hundreds of people, including senior Japanese military officials and important foreign officials. It seemed as if he was having a show.
I can't believe my eyes.
"Why, are you in love? A man like Chen Mingxiang, who is young and rich but still in a high position, is rare even in the Shanghai stock market. You are really a coward. You hang out together every day and you haven't succeeded yet. You are embarrassing our sisters.
!" Ren Ji can say anything.
"It's not an easy thing to make him fall under the pomegranate skirt. It's not that he doesn't like beautiful women, but he has too much self-control. Unless he attacks her, why don't you try?" Liu Nina said.
Chen Mingxiang walked off the stage amidst warm applause, and the reception then entered a period of free communication, chatting when it was time to chat, and dancing when it was time to dance.
When he came to the top generals of the Japanese army, he first said hello to these Japs. Even the one-eyed lieutenant generals like Shigeru Sawada and admirals like Shitaro Shimada only greeted him with a few polite words, shook hands and drank a glass of wine.
That's all, it sounds like his weight is still a little light.
"Chen Jun, the decoration of your club is really high-end. It is a very good social place. If you have important events in the future, you can also consider holding them here." Shizue Tsuda said with a smile.
"It's an honor for you, General, to choose my club. If you need anything, just say hello and I'll pay for the reception," Chen Mingxiang said.
"That's not necessary. The Central China Liaison Department of Xingya Yuan has its own funds for this. When the time comes, it will only be your place. I can't let my good friends in the empire suffer."
"It is estimated that Mayor Chen Gongbo has already disclosed the content of this meeting to you. Starting from tomorrow, Huatong Trading Company will seize the time to prepare supplies. The ratio of the navy and the army this time is 50:50. As for the specific arrangements,
Mayor Chen Gongbo will explain it to you." Tsuda Shizue said.
"You also know that my Huatong Trading Company currently has two channels. One is to export commodities to the Shanghai market or make transactions with smugglers in Jiang Tong District in the form of money. This is the main source of supplies."
"The second one is to purchase materials from Chiang Kai-shek's district that flowed into the Shanghai market. Although the quantity seems inconspicuous, the small amount adds up to a large amount, and the monthly sum is also very amazing."
"Now the consultant of the inspection team ordered to block all the checkpoints. Although it did not hinder the transactions between Huatong Trading Company and Chiang Kai-shek District, as soon as it was discovered that the smuggled materials entered the Shanghai market, they seized them on the spot and then notified Japanese companies to purchase them at low prices.
.”
"People want to make money by doing this kind of head-turning business. The inspection team has made many businessmen afraid to do business with Chiang Kai-shek's district. They are afraid of losing money and vomiting blood. I'm worried that it will affect the imperial army's plan." Chen Mingxiang
I started giving eye drops to the inspection team.
"Chen Jun, now the military department needs major chaebols to provide weapons, equipment and military supplies for military operations. You need to be patient for a while. Their tasks are also very tight and require a large amount of raw materials for production. This also relieves you of the pressure.
