Although this time he was working as a lobbyist for Li Shiqun, Chen Mingxiang spoke completely from Chen Gongbo's perspective, analyzing the pros and cons in detail, and changed his previous cautious style in terms of speech.
There is really no way. Although Chen Gongbo is a notorious traitor reviled by everyone in the Chinese nation, he must be an extremely powerful person to be able to sit in his current position and take the second highest position in Wang Puppet Government. If you want to gain his trust, just
Show some sincerity and skill.
It stands to reason that as long as Wang Jingwei agrees and Li Shiqun establishes a new ministerial-level agency, there shouldn't be much of a problem.
I am afraid that if Chen Gongbo and Zhou Fahai have an opinion, Wang Jingwei, who has always been soft-hearted, will change his mind and reject the Mei agency's suggestions. This is not the result Chen Mingxiang wants to see.
"What you said makes sense, and you have lived up to my expectations for you. You should speak like this in the future. Don't be secretive. Just say what you have to say. Even if what you say is wrong, I will not blame you."
"Tell Li Shiqun that I will support Mei's proposal. I have also accepted the gift. We will stay for lunch today and we will have a good drink." Chen Gongbo said with a satisfied smile.
Chen Mingxiang sent several precious calligraphy and paintings and pieces of antique porcelain, which were very pleasing to his taste. In addition, there was a gift of US$20,000, which was also a large amount of money.
"You guys drink tea first, I'll let the chef prepare the meal and taste the 30-year-old Shaoxing rice wine." Mo Guokang's tone was a bit coquettish.
Despite his young age, Chen Mingxiang was very mature in his words and deeds. Although he gave Chen Gongbo and her a lot of gifts, his usual conversations were a bit tactful and polite. It was rare to hear such honest words today. Not only did Chen Gongbo feel
Happy, she was also very happy.
"Minister Ding, please tell Minister Zhou that Li Shiqun was furious after receiving the news and went to General Yingzuo of the Mei Agency for comment. There may be changes in the matter." Returning to Wang Zhen's residence in the Bank of China branch, Chen Mingxiang gave Ding a message.
Mo Cun made a phone call.
"It doesn't matter. The cancellation of the Ministry of Police is an irreversible fact. Chairman Wang agreed, and the relevant committee members also said hello. The Supreme Political Conference will vote by a show of hands the day after tomorrow. Even the Mei government cannot break its promise." Ding Mocun was in a very happy mood.
Happy, he most wanted to see Li Shiqun suffer misfortune.
Chen Mingxiang put down the phone and smiled. Conspiracies and schemes are still somewhat vulnerable in the face of absolute strength. You cancel one department and another is established. On the surface, you have the upper hand, but in fact you have not achieved any results.
"I don't quite understand, why can't this matter be allowed to develop as planned?" Wang Zhen asked very strangely.
If Li Shiqun completely lost his position as minister and hated Zhou Fahai so much that he gritted his teeth, wouldn't this be a more ideal effect?
"You don't understand. It's true that Zhou Gaohai has a high position and authority, but he has been in the center for a long time and is too far away from me. I can't get much remuneration from him. This is a loss-making business."
"Li Shiqun is different. He is currently of great use to me. If I stay close to him and Mei Guan, I can get rich rewards." Chen Mingxiang said.
Things are not that simple. The reason why Chen Mingxiang wants to promote this matter is because he has his own considerations and is not a decision made casually.
First of all, even if Li Shiqun formed a new ministerial-level organization, it would not be of any help to his strength. The abolition of the Ministry of Police had already created an incomprehensible conflict between him and Zhou Fahai, and it would not make much sense to deepen it.
, had it not been for a special opportunity, Li Shiqun would have done nothing to help Zhou Fahai, it was too far behind.
Secondly, Chen Mingxiang needs to be close to Li Shiqun, collect the action steps of the Qingxiang plan at any time, and provide intelligence to the anti-Japanese forces in the Qingxiang area.
In the first phase of Qingxiang's key counties in Suzhou, he had provided them to both the military command and the underground party. Due to insufficient troops, the Japanese army only carried out operations in three counties.
However, the Qingxiang Plan is an important long-term policy implemented by the Wang Puppet Government and an important measure taken by the Japanese army to support the Wang Puppet Government. The second phase will be launched soon, and there will be a third phase in succession, which will also range from the Soviet Union
The province expanded to other cities in Jiangsu Province.
Furthermore, after he and Li Shiqun show their complicity, not only will they receive support from the Mei agency, but their power and status in the secret service headquarters will also increase a lot, which will be of great benefit to the direct station and Shanghai District 1.
On August 1, the 30th year of the Republic of China, this was a very special day. The so-called Central Committee of the Wang Puppet Government held a supreme meeting. According to the proposal of Finance Minister Zhou Fahai, the meeting decided to abolish the Ministry of Police and merge it into the Ministry of the Interior.
, Chen Qun is the minister.
The Ministry of Transport and the Ministry of Railways of the former Wang puppet government were merged into the Ministry of Transport, with Ding Mocun as the minister. The Ministry of Industry and Commerce and the Ministry of Agriculture and Mines of the Wang puppet government were merged into the Ministry of Industry, with Mei Siping as the minister. The minister of the Ministry of Railways was Fu Shishuo.
, served as the provincial chairman of the puppet Zhejiang Province.
Yingzuo Zhenzhao proposed to set up a new ministerial-level organization under the Military Commission of Wang Puppet Government, called the Department of Investigation and Statistics, and nominated Li Shiqun as minister, Yang Jie as political deputy minister, and Xia Zhongming as standing deputy minister, and the meeting approved it.
After the meeting, Li Shiqun was naturally very proud, but Zhou Fahai had a gloomy look on his face. He felt like he had been slapped in the face again, and he felt a little uncomfortable.
"It's really unbelievable that the May government's support for this bastard has gone so far as to abolish the Ministry of Police and create a bullshit Investigation and Statistics Department. If I had known this was the case, why would I have to abolish the Ministry of Police? It's simply
It’s unnecessary!” Zhou Fahai said helplessly at home.
"This is not because your strategy is wrong, but because it is determined by the policy of the Mei Agency or the Japanese government. The key is not the Police Department or the Investigation and Statistics Department, but the effect brought by the Secret Service Headquarters. If you can get rid of his agents
The position of director of the headquarters, not to mention the position of minister or deputy director, is not his turn." Ding Mocun said with a wry smile.
Also on August 1, the U.S. government announced an oil embargo against Japan, and the Dutch government also announced a ban on oil exports from the Dutch East Indies to Japan.
"Even when the Japanese army marched into the southern part of French Indochina and the British, American and Dutch countries froze Japanese assets, I didn't see you so excited." Wang Zhen said with a blushing face.
After hearing the news, the deputy station director hugged her and spun her around for more than a dozen times without saying a word, and even kissed her hard. This was the first time he had seen him act like this since he was his assistant.
When you lose your temper.
"Oil is the blood of war. Without oil, the Japanese navy's ships, army's tanks and vehicles, and those aircraft are just a pile of junk. The actions of the US government are tantamount to strangulating Japan's lifeline.
You can suffocate this weak giant with all your strength!" Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.
