Because of the failed arrest of Wu Gengshu, the entire secret service headquarters was ordered to conduct a strict investigation by the Special High School Division. All departments and offices were interrogated by the inspection room, with Second Lieutenant Shinichi Nakajima and Warrant Officer Shibuya participating in the supervision.
Even the division chiefs, captains and directors are no exception. Even people like Wu Sibao and Lin Zhijiang must honestly explain their whereabouts throughout the day and find witnesses, otherwise they will be detained.
But no one has contacted Chen Mingxiang about this matter. During this period, he basically worked at Huatong Trading Company. He rarely came to the secret service headquarters and never got involved in intelligence work. Who was free to find him?
His trouble?
Just because he returned to the secret service headquarters in the morning, the inspection office just called him as a routine matter and ended the review after a few questions. To this, the two Japanese officers acquiesced.
Ding Mocun himself did not expect that Chen Mingxiang started the investigation just because he saw Chen Chenglun in his home. In other words, the entire plan was exposed from the beginning.
"According to the instructions from our superiors, we are preparing to build a base area in northern Jiangsu next year, develop in the enemy's occupied areas, expand the army and establish an anti-Japanese regime. Some comrades have already arrived in northern Jiangsu. Our task is to raise funds, medicines, printing machines and
Ink, paper, and the machinery and equipment needed by the arsenal.”
"Comrades of the provincial and municipal party committees are also secretly mobilizing the masses and patriotic groups to do everything possible to support the base areas. But the problem now is that most of these items are embargoed materials by the Japanese army. Even if we can get them, there are still transportation problems.
It’s a huge difficulty,” the person in charge said.
"The safest and most convenient channel for entering and exiting Shanghai is Chen Mingxiang's Huatong Trading Company. He holds a pass issued by the Japanese Military Police Headquarters. Neither the Japanese army nor the puppet troops dare to inspect it. We have no contact with him and want to use this
This channel is very difficult." Zheng Tonghui said.
The Japanese army blocked the economy and people's livelihood in the Kuomintang-controlled areas with all their strength, and strictly controlled the transportation of materials. Chen Mingxiang was able to obtain a pass from the Japanese Military Police Headquarters in Shanghai to do business with the Kuomintang-controlled areas. This meant that his relationship with the Japanese army was extraordinary. At least there was
Benefit relationship.
Although other people can apply for this kind of pass, it can only be issued once and will be invalidated after use. The special thing is that Chen Mingxiang can apply for it at any time. From this point of view, only Southeast Trading Company, which is about to open its secret agent headquarters, can do it.
The underground party's material procurement and transportation team has no business dealings with Chen Mingxiang, let alone any personal relationship. It is currently impossible to rely on him to transport goods to northern Jiangsu.
"Chen Mingxiang was forced to join the secret service headquarters, and he was only responsible for translation work. He did not join the intelligence and operations departments. He also jumped out of this bloody place in a short time and went to run a company outside. This shows that his work style and thinking are relatively negative.
"
"In fact, many people now hold this idea. As long as they can survive and life can go on, they have selectively ignored the country and the nation and are being ravaged by the Japanese invaders. The government's war against the Japanese army has failed.
, what can the people do?”
"They don't really want to help the Japanese oppress their fellow countrymen. Deep down in their hearts, they also hate the Japanese and the traitors. They wish these people would die without a burial place. They just have no chance and can't find such a way. Chen Mingxiang's heart
Your thoughts will not be exposed easily," the person in charge said.
From a superficial analysis, Chen Mingxiang's trajectory is really like this. He would rather open his own company to make money and live in other ways than do those things that bully the people and fight against the government.
There are currently millions of people in Shanghai, and not everyone can pick up a gun and fight the invaders. But who can say that they don’t love the country and the nation in their hearts and are unwilling to serve the country and the nation?
"I will gradually contact Chen Mingxiang according to the organization's requirements to test his true thoughts. Lu Kunyu, a progressive young man in the newspaper office, is the bridge between me and him. This person's network is quite powerful. If he is willing to make progress and join the organization, we will
The work of the Shanghai Stock Exchange will be greatly changed," Zheng Tonghui said.
"Changing a person's thinking is a long-term process. Don't be too anxious. His identity is very sensitive, and you need to pay attention to methods when contacting him. As long as he is progressive and can do his best for the anti-Japanese cause, it is enough at this stage.
"The person in charge said with a smile.
Boss Dai, who is in the mountain city at the moment, is not in a generally good mood. He received a message from Wu Gengshu and was rescued by a comrade of his who was lurking on No. 76. Who else could he be besides Chen Mingxiang?
Dai Xingbing and Wu Gengshu were his close and beloved generals. Although this mission failed, as long as they were fine, there would be no major loss in the military command bureau's strength.
Assassinating the number one traitor like Wang Jingwei was not particularly difficult. The Japanese must have strictly protected him, and Dai Li had long been mentally prepared for failure.
Even more happily, the Military Command Bureau, through Chen Mingxiang, transported a large amount of scarce materials from the Shanghai market, especially cotton yarn, hardware tools, sucrose and other Japanese and puppet embargoed materials, and made a lot of money by reselling them.
It is particularly worth mentioning that cotton yarn is of special significance to the textile factories of the Song family and the Kong family. For this reason, Boss Dai gained the friendship between the two families and increased his capital in the government.
They all say that Boss Dai likes power and beauties but doesn’t like money. That’s nonsense! If he doesn’t have money, where will he get the capital to support a woman?
It's just that he has many ways to spend money personally. On the surface, he is indeed extremely clean and hates corruption. If he is caught, it will be a dead end.
However, the institutions and personnel of the Military Command Bureau are too terrifying. As of now, there are more than 20,000 people running training courses, purchasing weapons and equipment, preparing to build military command stations in various places, etc. Money is needed everywhere. How can we carry out this work without money?
"Chunfeng's ability far exceeded my expectations. At that time, I gave him a task to help Dai Xingbing and Wu Gengshu under the premise of his own safety. I didn't expect that he did it so beautifully and his network of connections was so powerful that he turned the impossible into something possible.
possible."
"The calls from Dai Xingbing and Wu Gengshu praised Chunfeng very highly. The timing was very clever, especially with the help of the Shanghai Municipal District. When they arrested Dai Xingbing, they first gave it to No. 76.
He gave a severe blow, warned Wu Geng in advance, got rid of the traitors, and killed the traitor No. 76."
"If he hadn't been fighting in the heart of the enemy, I would have loved to have met him and awarded him a medal with my own hands. He has already reached the rank of captain, and it is not appropriate to be promoted too quickly for the time being. Twenty thousand yuan will be allocated from special funds as a reward for him.
, I hope to see him in the general sequence in the future." Boss Dai said.
