Seeing the reply from the station, Zhan Sen and several of his confidants were immediately dumbfounded. He didn't know what was going on in Suzhou, but the station had actually received accurate information. This gap was too shocking.
"Director, our plan to destroy the railway is very feasible and the probability of success is very high. It would be a pity not to execute it." asked the leader of the direct action team.
There is nothing new in this plan. It still uses explosions to deal with trains. The most certain thing is that the direct intelligence team actually developed a railway engineer to patrol the road.
The expenses of direct affiliated stations are too generous, and these guys are also accustomed to using the method of buying people's hearts and ideological education to develop their downlines. There are bloody people everywhere, and when there are no worries, it is natural to do such a thing.
The plan of the Intelligence Division was to have the railway workers bury the explosives under the railway at night, and the people from the action team would rush to the roadside in the early morning to take charge of the operation. He was responsible for this section of the road, so he would not arouse the enemy's suspicion.
After the railway workers bury the explosives, they will receive a large sum of money, and they will take their families overnight and be escorted by the intelligence team to the Kuomintang-controlled area to live a good life. This is almost the standard pattern of the Military Command Bureau.
"Are you crazy? The station commander has ordered the Intelligence Division not to take any action. I don't dare to disobey military orders no matter how brave I am. We are soldiers. Don't you know how serious the nature of disobedience is?"
"Besides, the station knows the situation much more clearly than we do. Since we are not allowed to take action, there are enough reasons. Don't think that you can do whatever you want without being under the command of the station commander. If he sends a telegram to the bureau headquarters, you can
Just wait to go to jail!" Zhan Sen said.
Although he didn't know the true identity of the webmaster, he knew that this mysterious figure had a very high status in the bureau headquarters, or in other words, in Boss Dai's mind.
When I was in Shanghai District 1, I never had a day like this. First of all, in terms of finance, the funds were unimaginably generous. The salary at the bureau headquarters was secondary. Just receiving various subsidies made my hands tremble. After a year
You can save a lot of money.
The most amazing thing is that there is no need for strict write-off procedures. It is said that the webmaster directly wrote off all the expenses with a write-off form, and the financial department of the bureau headquarters had no objection to this.
Secondly, the weapons are all German products, including sniper rifles and Czech-style light machine guns. This kind of power is extraordinary. Most of the agents in Shanghai District 1 use shell guns and revolvers.
Furthermore, Dongfeng, who took over as station chief, was lucky enough to be personally interviewed by Boss Dai and was promoted to colonel. In terms of qualifications, he was obviously not as senior as Jiang Anhua. This was called following the right person!
Therefore, Zhan Sen did not dare to discount the stationmaster's orders at all. Isn't there a saying that makes sense? If I can get you up, I can also get you down!
"Chen Jun, look at you, did you not get a good rest last night?" Shigeto Nobumi said with a smile in the waiting room, casually taking the cigar handed by Chen Mingxiang.
"I was so excited to meet His Excellency, the Supreme Commander of the Imperial Army in China, that I didn't sleep well all night. When I heard that it would take two hours to arrive, I couldn't hold on anymore!" Chen Mingxiang said with a yawn.
According to Li Shiqun's request, he got up at around five o'clock in the morning, took a shower, put on a suit and tie, finished tidying up, ate quickly, and then took a car to gather at the Qingxiang Committee's residence.
As a result, when he arrived at the train station, he just stood there on the platform. After waiting for more than half an hour, he didn't see the train coming. He asked about the time, and Shigeto Nobumi said it didn't arrive until half past nine!
Chen Mingxiang was dissatisfied. This was not the way to make gestures. The train would blow the whistle when it was about to enter the station. It would not be too late to get out at that time.
So in the name of smoking, I dragged several Japanese officers to the waiting room for a meeting. Whoever wanted to wait waited outside. Anyway, he didn't want to drink the northwest wind.
"Nary. Fortunately, I didn't take action. I just received a report from the insider. This time, not only were armored trains patrolling back and forth, but the Japanese army also mobilized in large numbers to conduct a careful search along the railway. The military police even led out the dogs. If we had buried explosives,
It will definitely be discovered." The intelligence team leader returned to the contact point and said.
"The station commander's order is so wise. If we follow our plan, it will definitely cause a turmoil and assassinate the supreme commander of the Japanese army in China. I don't know how many people in Suzhou will be affected!" Zhan Sen was completely convinced!
.
When it was almost ten o'clock, first an armored train passed by with black smoke. A few minutes later, the whistle of the train was heard. Chen Mingxiang and others hurriedly ran from the waiting room to the platform, arranged their clothes and started to line up. They were received by the platform.
Man, Chen Mingxiang is the last one.
When the train stopped, the first thing that appeared was the commander-in-chief's guard, and the military band on the platform began to play music. After Norifu Shigefuji and Kiyoshi Ogasawara confirmed with the guard captain that it was safe, Shunroku Hata and his attachés got off the train.
Accompanying us this time were Lieutenant General Noda Kengo, Deputy Chief of General Staff of the Expeditionary Forces Headquarters, Major General Kage Zuozhenzhao, Chief of the Mei Agency, Lin Baisheng, Propaganda Minister of the Wang Puppet Government, and Mei Jiping, Director of the Materials Control Committee.
Also came.
Of course, the first person to greet the crowd at the station was Li Shiqun, who had the highest status, followed by Lieutenant General Nobuo Kobayashi, the commander of the Japanese 60th Division, which was the main force stationed in Suzhou, and the rest were Qingxiang
Committee people.
The sixty-three-year-old old Japanese soldier, Shunroku Hata, was very kind to the people who came to greet him. While listening to Li Shiqun's introduction, he shook hands with the people present, and a large group of Japanese reporters followed and took pictures.
"So you are Chen Mingxiang. I have heard of your name a long time ago. You are a loyal follower of the empire and have made outstanding contributions to the imperial army's operations in China. Thank you for your hard work! Let me tell you some good news. You will be here soon.
You are about to receive an award from the empire, and I would like to congratulate you in advance!" Shunroku Hata shook hands with Chen Mingxiang and said.
There are many smuggling agencies established by the Japanese army and Japanese chaebols, but in terms of scale and quantity, they cannot be compared with Chen Mingxiang's Huatong Trading Company. After all, he has the support of the entire Military Control Bureau. Over time, even the dispatched troops
The General Headquarters also knew about him and Huatong Trading Company.
"Thank you to the commander-in-chief for your comfort, and even more so to the empire for its cultivation. I will continue to work hard and achieve more achievements for the imperial army!" Chen Mingxiang bowed deeply.
The so-called reward from the empire refers to Chen Mingxiang's use of ocean-going cargo ships to transport Western medicine to India. This operation cannot be made public, but everyone who needs to know knows it, and Shunroku Hata is naturally aware of it.
After the welcome ceremony, nothing happened to Chen Mingxiang. Shunroku Hata went to the provincial government to listen to the report on Qingxiang's work. He was just a smuggler. Although he had so many part-time jobs, his status was not very high.
However, he was told by Li Shiqun that he would attend a reception dinner hosted by the provincial government in the evening and go to Wuxian County with Shunroku Hata to inspect the Qingxiang work tomorrow morning.ntent
