The previous asset freeze imposed by the United States, Britain and the Netherlands on Japan was purely a warning. The oil embargo was the real means of sanctions, which would cause the Japanese government unbearable pain. Without oil, the war would become a farce.
.
However, this matter has nothing to do with Chen Mingxiang, who is responsible for smuggling materials. At this time, China had only a few sporadic oil wells, and the output was very low. It was known as an oil-poor country, and the Japanese army would definitely not attack it.
China’s idea.
"Li Shiqun is inviting guests to dinner this time. It is obvious that he wants to give something in return. What position will he assign to you?" Wang Zhen asked while helping Chen Mingxiang tie his tie.
On August 3rd, Li Shiqun returned to the Shanghai Stock Exchange again. The Investigation and Statistics Department was newly established. He had to celebrate with a big feast and distribute the cake.
Although the Investigation and Statistics Department is full of positions with no authority, the name sounds pleasant to the ear, but it is not necessary. The people in the Secret Service Headquarters are too lazy to say that they are secret agents, so the titles of Commissioner, Director, and Director are so comfortable.
?
"He just gave me the position of deputy minister, but that's of no use. A temporary position in the Investigation and Statistics Department is the same thing as a temporary position in the Police Department. It's just an extra salary. Who cares about these hundreds of dollars?" Chen Mingxiang dismissed.
He curled his lips and said with a very disdainful expression.
The banquet was held at Wang Baohe Restaurant. The place was cleared that night and no other guests were allowed to attend. The outside was guarded by agents from the police station and the Secret Service Headquarters.
As soon as seven o'clock arrived, the agents from the Secret Service Headquarters began to appear. To be able to participate in the banquet and have a place, the minimum one must be the captain or section chief. Ordinary minions can't even think about it.
"Director Chen is here, please take a seat inside!" Xia Zhongming and Yang Jie, who were standing at the door to greet the guests, nodded and bowed to let Chen Mingxiang inside.
Both of them are traitors of the Central Bureau of Statistics, and they were colleagues with Li Shiqun. Especially Xia Zhongming, who once lurked in the Shanghai stock market with Li Shiqun, and their relationship was very unusual.
Relying on this friendship, Xia Zhongming became the Parliamentary Undersecretary of the Investigation and Statistics Department, and Yang Jie became the Executive Undersecretary of the Investigation and Statistics Department. They were both senior officials at the deputy ministerial level in Wang's puppet government.
"Congratulations, you two are so prosperous now and your future is limitless!" Chen Mingxiang smiled and said a polite word.
He came with Liu Nina this time, and now in the eyes of everyone at the secret service headquarters, this most beautiful female spy has become his.
"How dare we talk about our future in front of Director Chen? We just got a false position. Minister Li will definitely not forget you." Xia Zhongming said hurriedly.
Don't think of them as deputy ministers. They know that compared with Chen Mingxiang, bah, they are incomparable at all. They are powerful people backed by the Japanese. Li Shiqun does not dare to offend someone easily. This is not necessarily a false reputation.
In eyes.
"Director Chen, can you sit down and say a few words?" She Aizhen, who was sitting and chatting with Shen Gengmei while eating melon seeds, hurriedly stood up when she saw Chen Mingxiang.
"Xiao Meimei is here too. Sister Ai Zhen, when did you become so polite to me? If you have anything to say, just say it!" Chen Mingxiang sat next to Shen Gengmei and casually grabbed a handful of melon seeds.
"I want my brother to marry Xu Caili, what do you think?" She Aizhen asked.
Ever since Li Shiqun became the secretary-general of the Qingxiang Committee, he moved his family to Suzhou for the sake of his career. He could not come back to the secret service headquarters twice a month.
As for Liu Nina and Xu Caili, the two secret lovers, they actually had nothing to do with him very early on. Strictly speaking, they are now Chen Mingxiang's secretaries and secretaries of the inspection team!
Even in the Shanghai stock market where there are so many beauties, Liu Nina and Xu Caili are both outstanding and beautiful women. There are many ideas for them, so She Aizhen gave her brother the first shot.
"It's a good thing. You have to ask what Xu Caili means. I'm her boss at most. Isn't it inappropriate to ask me?" Chen Mingxiang said a little puzzled.
Ask yourself if it’s okay, it’s none of my business if Xu Caili wants to get married! Besides, I don’t seem to have any rumors with Xu Caili!
"Caili is your secretary now. For such a big matter, of course I have to say hello to you, my boss, first. This is also to respect you."
"Since you agree with this marriage, I will choose a good day to give the betrothal gift and then organize the wedding. You must come for a drink then." She Aizhen said with a smile.
Of course she knew that Chen Mingxiang and Xu Caili had nothing to do with each other. With Chen Mingxiang's high level of vision, he would not pick up Li Shiqun's leftovers.
Miss Wang Zhen, who is stored in the Sinan Mansion, is a lady from Jinling. She is well-educated, sensible and elegant. She is Chen Mingxiang's lover. There is no comparison between Xu Caili and her.
But from the matter of Su Chengde, the local people also sensed Chen Mingxiang's pettiness. If they didn't say hello to him in advance, who knows what he would think!
"Is no one interested in Liu Nina? Normally, the group of perverts at the secret service headquarters would like to eat her. Now that she is free, this is a God-given opportunity!" Shen Gengmei said in a low voice.
Although Xu Caili is a beauty, compared with Liu Nina, she is simply not up to par. When Liu Nina walks around on the street, she has a 100% turn-around rate, and the men in the secret service headquarters are fascinated by her.
"You're talking nonsense again. Who dares to marry such a smart beauty like Liu Nina? Who can control her? Let me tell you, this woman's background is extraordinary. Even Director Li usually doesn't dare to offend her easily. As for her lover,
Relationships are not as simple as you see." She Aizhen said.
Naturally, Ying Zuozhenzhao and Qingqi Qingyun of the Mei Agency want to give Li Shiqun face, as well as members of the Mei Agency, including Inukai, who represents the government, and Shimizu, who represents the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Although he was not dealing with Li Shiqun, Lu Ying from the city police station was also present. After all, he was also a member of the Mei Agency, so he had to give Qingqi Qing some face.
"Director Chen, Su Chengde and Section Chief Nan Zao have met frequently recently. It seems that the two sides have reached cooperation. The Special High School Section is very interested in the information Su Chengde has." Wan Lilang said in a low voice.
There had been no contact between the two for a long time, and he felt a little uneasy. Chen Mingxiang was the only person assigned by Minister Zhou of the Jinling government to escort him at the secret service headquarters.
Although contacting him too closely can easily arouse Li Shiqun's suspicion, but Li Shiqun has moved to Suzhou to live permanently, and Chen Mingxiang is still unwilling to take the initiative to talk to him. This is the problem.
Speaking of which, Wan Lilang did not have a strong support point at the secret service headquarters. He got to where he is today with the blood of his military commander brothers and relied on his personal abilities.
But the problem is that Li Shiqun, a traitor to the Central Unification, still trusts the traitor to the Central Unification after all. Yang Jie and Xia Zhongming, two guys with average abilities, can suddenly reach high positions. This is the most obvious example. Wu Sibao, Pan Tao and others from the local faction
There was also a lot of gain, but the traitors in the military command did not get much benefit.
