Just as Chen Mingxiang took several guards from the inspection team and boarded the plane from Shanghai to Jiangcheng, the Japanese transport plane was contacted by the Kodama Agency. The shadow of the Mei Agency, Zhenzhao, also came to the gendarmerie headquarters in Shanghai.
Communicate with Major General Kinoshita Sakae about using the acquisition station.
The reason why Chen Mingxiang did not tell Kinoshita Eichi specifically about this matter was because he knew in his heart that Kinoshita Eichi would never agree to Minami Yunzi's request. This was simply a joke.
"Yingzuo-kun, you should know that the tasks assigned to our Military Police Headquarters by the Dispatch Army Headquarters are very heavy, and they are all serving the empire. The Lingnan Company of the Mei Agency and the Southeast Trading Company of the Secret Service Headquarters are not under any pressure at all now.
Our Huatong Trading Company, a subsidiary of the Military Police Headquarters, is overwhelmed."
"Whether it is Hunan Province, Gan Province, Anhui Province or Guangxi Province, Chen Jun spent a lot of effort to establish the purchasing stations in these places. Especially the purchasing stations in Jiangtong District had to work with the local government, military and police constitution
It can be said that the special relationship is hard-won."
"Your Mei Agency wants to set up a new intelligence network. Of course I support this matter. I have no objection to seconding Nan Zao Yunzi to take charge of this work. But if you want to use the acquisition station to carry out infiltration, that is absolutely impossible."
"If something happens to your agents and they are targeted by the intelligence department of Chiang Kai-shek's district, and there is a problem with one acquisition station, it will inevitably cause a chain reaction, and other acquisition stations will also be suspected."
"The Military Police Headquarters relies on Huatong Trading Company to complete its strategic material acquisition mission. You know this in your heart. I dare not take this risk, even if Chen Jun agrees." Major General Kinoshita Eiichi did not let down Chen Mingxiang.
Hope, he simply refused.
Hearing that the other party was talking about the mission of the dispatched army headquarters, Yingzuo Zhenzhao was also a little embarrassed. Speaking of this issue, what he did was a bit unreasonable. No wonder people used it as an excuse.
When the meeting was held, he was the one who proposed that the Southeast Trading Company's income would be mainly used to support the funds of the Secret Service Headquarters, while Lingnan Company, a subsidiary of the Mei Agency, would be used to supplement activity funds for the Mei Agency and the intelligence agencies stationed in Shanghai.
The General Headquarters of the Expeditionary Forces assigned the acquisition task to the Shanghai Stock Exchange, and the funds were allocated by the Japanese army. In other words, there was no profit to be made, and if you didn't accompany it, you would be wasting your money.
The Huatong Trading Company run by Chen Mingxiang accounted for one-third of Shanghai's external exports. It was extremely rich. At that time, the relationship between Chen Mingxiang and the Mei Agency was only average. Yingzuo Zhenzhao took over the Lingnan Company
The assignment with Southeast Trading Company was turned down.
"Kinoshita-kun understands the scale and transaction volume of these two companies. They are less than 20% of Huatong Trading Company. Those who can do more work. I don't have any ill intentions. Everything is based on the overall situation."
"Our Imperial Army of the Empire of Japan is not making good progress in China. The communication lines running through the north and south are not open. The Chinese Expeditionary Army and the Kwantung Army are unable to support Southeast Asia. The Navy and our Sixth Army are not dealing with it. Therefore, this new
The intelligence network is also for future grand strategic considerations."
"You have also seen that now we basically occupy Hubei Province. As long as we penetrate Hunan Province and Guangxi Province, we will achieve this strategic goal. In order not to be hindered by the mountain city government, we also need to attack Gan Province in the southeast and Henan Province in the central part.
Province and Anhui Province will carry out large-scale clean-up."
"I have reported this matter to the Army Ministry and the General Staff Headquarters, and have received support from above. However, most of these places are owned by mountain city governments. They want to break into the new environment as soon as possible and get in touch with local government officials and
Military generals, that is not easy, so I hope Kinoshita-kun will support the construction of this intelligence network." Kage Sasaki said.
To be selected as the figure behind the control of Wang's puppet government, Yingzuo Zhenzhao did have some strategic vision. His judgment of the situation was very correct and he took the right path. However, the Military Police Headquarters was not a field force. For these
Not interested.
Strictly speaking, the gendarmerie is a military institution that enforces military discipline, suppresses anti-Japanese forces, plunders resources, and safeguards Japanese interests in occupied areas. It is equivalent to a subsidiary of the combat forces and has limited jurisdiction. For example, the gendarmerie stationed in Shanghai is actually affiliated with Japan 6
of the Thirteenth Army Headquarters.
It's just that the military police is its own system and is not under the jurisdiction of the combat force headquarters. Instead, orders are given by the headquarters of the military police headquarters in Tokyo, and above it is the military minister.
"Kage Sa-kun, what you said may be right, and I appreciate your efforts for the imperial cause, but the real problem is, if you can convince Commander Shunroku Hata of the dispatched army headquarters and the Thirteenth Army
Commander Shigeru Sawada of the headquarters does not impose mandatory material collection tasks for the gendarmerie headquarters in Shanghai. These are all negotiable." Major General Kinoshita Eichi said neither yin nor yang.
No wonder people in the Japanese military police system say that Kinoshita Sakaeichi is the most difficult guy to deal with. Kage Sasaki finally learned his lesson today.
The former Commander of the Military Police in Shanghai, Major General Saburo Miura, although his character was a bit bad, he would speak out without hesitation and even throw things in anger and curse loudly. This was actually conducive to communication.
But as for Kinoshita Eiichi, he always talks to you calmly. He is by no means a cutter type. He just grabs a point and starts attacking. You have your routine, and I have mine. No matter what you say, I am.
Don't agree.
Kage Sasaki feels a toothache. He is the major general of Japan's 6th Army. Kinoshita Eichi is the major general of Japan's military police. We are not in the same system. The Mei agency is even supervised by the military police headquarters. What he said, Kinoshita Eichi
There is nothing you can do about it if you ignore it.
"Kinoshita-kun, let Huatong Trading Company's acquisition stations in various provinces provide some conveniences for the intelligence network. This can always be done, right? You also have to have confidence in Yunzi and the imperial agents. They will not be involved in acquisitions so easily.
Stand on your own." Shadow Zhenzhao said.
"Yunzi is also my subordinate. I will naturally make my own judgment about her abilities. She has never done anything beautiful since she returned from her mission in Jinling."
"Let me talk about the matter. How did Miura-kun leave Shanghai in the first place? How did I come to Shanghai? He arranged for her to carry out a secret mission, but the result was a mess. Don't say you don't know about this matter. I don't care about her anymore.
It’s as simple as being worried.”
"I would like to advise you. Although Yunzi is very capable, she has an arrogant personality and has a strong vision but a weak hand. She has no problem fighting alone. If you build such a large intelligence network, you'd better send someone to keep an eye on her."
"Since you have said this, I can agree to let the acquisition station occasionally solve the funds, or help the local agents to transport some necessary supplies. It is better not to continue discussing the other requirements." Kinoshita Eichi said.
