"Kinoshita-kun, with Chen-kun's identity and ability, he is fully qualified to enter this coordination agency and take on more important work. Why don't you see others when it's time for a meeting?" On the third day of the meeting, Shibuya said
Sanlang arrived at the conference room and asked curiously.
Chen Mingxiang's reception was very satisfactory to everyone. Chen Mingxiang could be seen every time he entered and left the conference room, but he was not seen in the conference room. A group of senior Japanese military officials were puzzled by this matter.
"Everyone, Mr. Chen is trying to avoid suspicion. He is a very smart man. He knows what he can and cannot do. He will try his best to complete the things that are assigned to him. However, he has always avoided the things that are not his responsibility.
Far away."
"You will know if you have more contact with me in the future. Chen Jun is a very reliable and reassuring excellent subordinate. He will never be arrogant and do anything to embarrass his superiors."
"He is in the Shanghai stock market and has the support of many forces in our empire. He has no problem walking sideways. But if you ask about him, he always treats others like a spring breeze. From top to bottom, everyone says good things about him. There is no extraordinary behavior at all."
"Chen Jun's speech and behavior have always been very measured, and he has always maintained a down-to-earth and cautious style. Among young people of this age, I have never seen such an outstanding person." Kinoshita Eiichi said.
These comments come from the mouth of the military police major general, and they carry a very heavy weight. Everyone has heard of Kinoshita Eiichi's character. He is well-known in the military police system and is very difficult to deal with. It is very unfortunate that he can give such praise.
Easy.
Li Shiqun's eyes turned red when he heard this. Chen Mingxiang must have gone out to do some shit. Kinoshita Eichi recommended him so hard.
As a general of the Japanese Army, you must be responsible for what you say. It is impossible for Kinoshita Eiichi to elevate Chen Mingxiang to such a high position just because of money. This is true.
"Chen Jun does have outstanding abilities. His Excellency Akagi Okagi, who was unfortunately killed that year, was very strict, even to the point of being picky. Few of the empire's generals took notice of him, but he admired Chen Jun very much.
, specially promoted him as an assistant." Qingqi Qingyin said.
When it comes to Akagi Chiyuki, everyone present knows that the baron and imperial officer of the Empire of Japan came from a samurai family and was a leader among the Ministry of Foreign Affairs police.
In the summer of the 30th year of the Republic of China, he was assassinated by military agents. His funeral was photographed by Japanese photographers from beginning to end, and was then shown in movie theaters across the country as a news feature for a full month.
Chen Mingxiang can be appreciated by Japanese nobles and promoted as his assistant, which is an important bonus. It seems that he has a new understanding of Japanese officials who are unfamiliar with Chen Mingxiang.
Chiyuki Akagi was the one who planned and carried out the assassination for Chen Mingxiang, but he was used as an example to add luster to Chen Mingxiang's abilities. This cannot but be said to be a kind of irony.
"Brother Mingxiang, it seems that you will be able to live well in the areas outside the customs and North China in the future. The attitude of these senior Japanese military officials towards you is very affectionate. When they heard that you were going to open a shop outside the customs, they almost beat their chests.
I said I would protect you." Li Shiqun said in a sour tone while eating dinner.
Chen Mingxiang was only responsible for the reception, but the senior Japanese military officials talked happily with him, their tone was very intimate, and they did not treat him as an outsider.
Chen Mingxiang said that his company had opened to Xinjing, Fengtian and Bingcheng. Senior Japanese military officials warmly welcomed him and said without saying anything that they wanted him to be responsible for providing Longjing tea and Biluochun tea throughout the year. They were all general-level people.
Are you short of some tea leaves?
Cigars, given in boxes, red wine, given in boxes, special cigarettes, given in boxes, silks and satins from Suzhou and Hangzhou, given in pieces, pure gold Buddha statues, Jinling's most rare colored satin, given to one person
One piece is known as an ingenious handicraft.
Chen Mingxiang gave it away generously, and others received it generously. It seemed so natural!
Li Shiqun knew that Chen Mingxiang would not only give this gift. Later, he actually heard that when he invited these senior Japanese military officials to visit the French Concession, they would "incidentally" visit his home and visit his fairy tale palace in Shanghai. The most outrageous thing is that these
Everyone agreed.
"Minister, how can I have such a big face? It's not me that people value. There are deep connections here! To put it simply, Manchukuo, controlled by the Kwantung Army, needs resources from Central and North China, but this demand
But it’s very difficult to achieve.”
"There are also many conflicts within the Japanese Army. The Kwantung Army has always liked to live alone. Apart from transporting supplies to Japan, it has ignored the needs of Central and North China. This behavior has also aroused strong dissatisfaction from the dispatched army headquarters."
"For example, the North China Front Army has the oldest qualifications and completely ignores the arrogant and domineering Kwantung Army. If the Kwantung Army wants to exchange grain for North China's minerals, it has to go through the mediation of the base camp. The Jinling government and Manchukuo also don't look at each other.
The relationship is a mess!”
"At this juncture, I almost ran into the whirlpool. The Kwantung Army welcomes Huatong Trading Company, a special organization, to do business in Manchukuo. My old foundation in Xinjing Branch has long been
He was found out."
"However, they hope that I can transport the materials in the customs to Manchukuo and realize the exchange of goods. The most produced bristles in the south, tung oil, rosin, cane sugar, felt, cotton cloth, etc., in exchange for Manchukuo's soybeans, cooking oil, rice, coal and
Cotton and other supplies.”
"Minister, to be honest, I'm on tenterhooks now. This matter requires clear written instructions from the dispatched army headquarters before I dare to take action. Otherwise, I would rather cancel the branch office outside the customs. I can't wade through this muddy water."
Get up!" Chen Mingxiang said with a wry smile.
"Brother, you should take care of yourself. I have goosebumps all over my body. Being too powerful is not necessarily a good thing. You are actually being targeted by the Kwantung Army Headquarters. They are trying to get you into trouble!"
"I advise you to withdraw as soon as possible. If we don't make the money from Manchukuo, we can't plunge into the big hole. There are many places to make money in the customs!" Li Shiqun's eyes widened.
The conflict between the Kwantung Army Headquarters and the Expeditionary Forces Headquarters is a conflict between high-level officials. There may be deeper involvement behind it. Not to mention a small figure like Chen Mingxiang, even if a major general and lieutenant general makes a wrong step, he will not be able to climb out.
Possibility of coming up!
It is probably that the Kwantung Army Headquarters was forced to panic. Although the territory outside the pass was very large, it could not supply all the needs. However, it wanted to communicate with the people inside the pass, but it was embarrassing, so it kept waiting for an opportunity to break the ice.
As a result, Chen Mingxiang's Huatong Trading Company opened a branch in Xinjing. The back of this smuggling organization can be connected to the dispatched army headquarters. When the other party sees it, he is tall, short, fat and thin, and it is you!
