As the hero who single-handedly established the Jinling government, why was Kage Sasayaki dismissed from his position as the top military adviser by the Tojo cabinet and driven to the outside of Sekisawa as the commander of the artillery?
The key reason lies with the Jinling government!
Since the establishment of the Jinling government, Wang Jingwei, Zhou Fahai and others have continuously demanded administrative power, economic benefits, and weapons and equipment from the empire, making it clear that they want more autonomy.
This is not a problem. As long as it can help the empire eliminate the mountain city government, obtain China's resources, and serve the empire in launching war, these conditions can be met.
The trouble is that so far, the empire's efforts and benefits are obviously not proportional. The Jinling government not only passively confronts the Shancheng government, but also treats the empire passively, and the deal has been a loss.
If Japan had not launched the Pacific War, there might have been hope of solving this problem, but now it is impossible.
Supporting a puppet government requires special opportunities and a large amount of resource investment, which cannot be done casually. The Japanese government is also in a state of distress and does not know how to deal with it. It is reasonable to put the responsibility on Kage Sasaki.
things in.
"Although I was not able to attend General Yingzuo's farewell banquet, I heard that it was organized by Chen Mingxiang for the general. It was very grand. The general also specially introduced the members of the Mei Organization to him. General Yingzuo was very kind to me.
I'm very concerned about it. Since Chen Mingxiang has a problem, I will try my best."
"There has not been any major strategic change in the base camp. The empire still needs Li Shiqun to deter these slick politicians. It is time for General Matsui to make his voice heard."
"The general will come to Shanghai in two days. I will talk to him in advance and tell you the results. In fact, the role that the secret service headquarters can play is not much anymore. It is not as valuable as Chen Mingxiang. At least his Huatong Trading
The company can bring strategic materials to the imperial army," Takeo Imai said.
Wang Jingwei used Japan's military power to form a puppet government and betrayed his country and nation. He is worthy of being the number one traitor in China, but his goal is definitely not to be just a puppet. Anyone who believes this is a fool!
Everyone hopes to have real power in their hands, and no one wants to be a puppet on strings. Wang Jingwei certainly does not want to be a traitor, and he must be a traitor who has the final say.
The Jinling government has gradually taken shape. It is using this kind of bargaining chip to constantly impose conditions on the Japanese government in order to gain more autonomy. In such a situation, the secret service headquarters is of no use at all.
Both of them understood very well that the fate of Li Shiqun and the secret service headquarters did not depend on the Jinling government or the Mei agency, but on the headquarters' strategy against the Jinling government.
If the empire needs Li Shiqun, he can live unscrupulously. If the empire doesn't need him, he will be eradicated at any time. This is a bloody reality.
"Mingxiang, according to your request, I have published recruitment advertisements on the front pages of several large newspapers in Shanghai. With our Huatong Trading Company's reputation throughout Central China, I believe we will be able to recruit people soon.
The right person."
"Since the public settlement was occupied by the Japanese army, all British and American companies have fallen into the hands of Japanese businessmen. The senior managers and employees of the foreign companies have subsequently lost their jobs. These people are experienced, skilled in business, have a broad vision, and have a deep understanding of the company.
Exploring the North China market can play an important role."
"It's difficult to find a job in Shanghai right now. Huatong Trading Company has a generous salary and a solid background. It is estimated that a large number of people will sign up tomorrow." Wang Zhen said when he returned to Mara Villa.
It has been decided to penetrate the power into North China and open a branch in Peiping. It is also to obey the instructions of the bureau headquarters. In this way, some experienced managers and clerks will definitely be needed.
Chen Mingxiang took advantage of this period of time to clear the channels for Li Shiqun. It would take a few days to finish this important matter, and then he would take people directly to Peking.
There are hundreds of large British and American companies in the public settlement, and they have also cultivated a large number of business talents with modern Western business thinking and abilities. The Shanghai Stock Exchange is currently lacking everything but people, especially company executives and clerks.
Who among the business circles in Shanghai doesn’t know the background of Huatong Trading Company?
This is a military-controlled enterprise backed by the Japanese military police and the Marine Corps. It doesn't even dare to control the secret service headquarters and the police station. Working here is no more than walking around in Shanghai.
It is conceivable that after the recruitment advertisement is published, it will have great impact on the Shanghai stock market. Isn't it possible to work in North China and outside China? There are many people who are willing to go.
"I will not be involved in the specific recruitment matters. You and the company's HR director are responsible for this interview. You can recruit more people. Most of them will be placed in major cities in North China, and a small number will be placed outside the customs."
"Please note that this is a person who is stationed in other places. If you want to join the job, you must find a qualified guarantor, and you must have a complete family, preferably someone with some assets."
"I can still visit the branches and purchasing stations in North China from time to time. The areas outside the customs are too far away and I can't go there two or three times a year. You should know how to choose." Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.
He has absolute confidence in opening up the relationship network in North China. Once the business is launched, the start-up capital alone will be several million. Huatong Trading Company will not do small business.
Chen Mingxiang is worried that the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and his supervision is not in place, and his subordinates may report false accounts and commit corruption, so some restrictions must be set up.
How to put it, according to normal people's thinking, this kind of worry is not unnecessary. There will always be people who can't resist the temptation of money, but in fact, it is a bit unnecessary for him.
If you dare to interfere with Huatong Trading Company, you are simply impatient. You don’t even know what kind of enterprise this is. People with families and relatives and children would not even dare to have such an idea even to death!
"The coal shortage in the Shanghai stock market is getting more and more serious. Speculators are hoarding coal and not selling it out. Company employees are talking privately that even buying briquettes has become difficult."
"When the business of the Peking Branch is on track, you can think of a way to use our fleet to transport several shipments of coal from North China. This is also a benefit for the employees." Wang Zhen said.
"Humph, coal is a necessity for daily life in Shanghai. The idea of coal is just a thorn in the neck of the people. These profiteers are tantamount to making money for the country. It is really hateful!"
"Don't worry, North China is rich in coal resources. I will consider this issue. If I take action once, I will make them suffer!" Chen Mingxiang said with a sneer.
