"Since the dispatched army headquarters does not agree to cooperate with the Kwantung Army Headquarters, I will immediately send a message to the branch office, withdraw all personnel, and cut off all contact with outside the Kwantung Army." Chen Mingxiang felt a little regretful and had just started to weave a web.
But I received a notice of closed fishing season.
"No, what the Commander-in-Chief and the Commander-in-Chief of the Thirteenth Army mean is that you can operate this matter in your own name. Large-scale material transactions are impossible. The mood of the North China Front Army Headquarters must be taken into account, but Huatong
It doesn't matter if a trading company or a commercial organization does some small business," Matsui Tataro said.
"Your Excellency General, I am confused as to what is going on here!" Chen Mingxiang was dumbfounded.
The North China Front objected to having dealings with the Kwantung Army, and the Expeditionary Forces General Headquarters also disagreed. However, the Commander-in-Chief and the Commander-in-Chief of the Thirteenth Army acquiesced in their own trade relations. What kind of trick did the Japanese play?
"This involves the conflict of interests between the various army factions of the Empire in the Chinese War. The relationship is so complicated that even I, let alone you, feel dizzy. If someone with a slow mind hears this, it's good that he's not crazy!"
"Let me tell you this, Central China dispatched troops to support a government, the Reform Government, which was established in March of the 27th year of the Republic of China. The provisional government supported by North China was established in July of the 26th year of the Republic of China.
of."
"The provisional government took advantage of its early establishment and wanted to swallow up the reform government and become the only political power in the pass. However, the interests of the Central China Expeditionary Army were damaged, so they naturally did not agree to this request. For this reason, the Central China Expeditionary Army and the North China Expeditionary Army quarreled.
The world is turned upside down, and no one is willing to let the other party take advantage."
"The two sides fought so fiercely that the conflict even reached the military headquarters, and no one could win. In the 28th year of the Republic of China, Chairman Wang received the support of the empire and established the Jinling Government, bringing together the Provisional Government and the Reform Government.
Together, it’s a chicken-and-egg situation on both sides.”
"Although the results were obtained, the Central China Expedition Army and the North China Expedition Army became enemies because of this. The current Thirteenth Army was formerly the Central China Front Army and the Central China Expedition Army."
"Since the North China Front Army Headquarters objects, the Thirteenth Army Headquarters must support it. Sometimes, the commander has to be swayed by the voices of his subordinates."
"Why does the Commander-in-Chief support this matter? The North China Administrative Affairs Committee supported by the North China Front Army is having a fierce quarrel with the Jinling government and does not obey orders at all. It is as annoying as the Kwantung Army. It is naturally the North China Front Army that is making trouble behind it."
"For this reason, Commander-in-Chief General Hata Toshiroku made this decision. On the one hand, he wanted to consider the overall situation, and on the other hand, he also wanted to add trouble to Okamura Neji." Matsui Tataro said.
Chen Mingxiang just felt dizzy. He was also a highly intelligent person, but he couldn't handle the complexity of the relationships. He might consider writing a book about the internal conflicts of the Japanese Army in the future. It would definitely be very exciting.
"Your Excellency, General, it's a good thing that I met you, otherwise I would have had my head blown off. It is said that bystanders can tell, but this situation cannot be explained clearly by anyone who is not an insider." Chen Mingxiang said.
"Don't think too much. Now that you know what it means, there will be no problem if you follow it. It took me a long time to figure it out. But it is good for you. In the process of material exchange, you can
Gaining great power and status can also bring huge benefits." Matsui Tataro said.
After the meeting, it was natural to take a stroll. As the director of the Public Settlement Industry Bureau, Chen Mingxiang warmly "invited" these heavyweight senior officials from outside the customs and North China to "inspect" the public settlement and also "visit" the French Concession.
Whether it is the concession in Jincheng or Fengtian and Bingcheng outside the customs, in terms of prosperity, they cannot be compared with the public concession and the French Concession, and they are simply inferior to each other.
"This guy is really good at building relationships. Look, the gifts are all small items. There is no suspicion of bribery, but the effect is very good." Li Shiqun said to Qingqi Qingyin with a smile.
"Li Jun, you need to learn more from Chen Jun on this point. Things don't matter whether they are high or low, but whether the recipient likes them. Although things may not be very valuable, their value is unexpected." Qingqi Qingyin said.
In the foreign company in the French Concession, Chen Mingxiang undertook everyone's expenses. In fact, there was nothing, such as imported pens, nail clippers, silver cigarette cases, lighters, and the most valuable thing was that he prepared a gold pocket watch for everyone.
More than two hours later, Chen Mingxiang invited these senior Japanese military officials to his home. Matsui Tataro, Kinoshita Eichi, Haruki Qingyin, Yano Otonzaburo and Li Shiqun "tactfully" refused. Everyone knew that Chen Mingxiang was going to conduct a secret operation.
.
The wonderful thing is that everyone knows what is going on, but no one mentions it, as if it is a natural thing.
"Chen Jun, thank you for your warm hospitality. Your wife is indeed an excellent expert in tea ceremony. I will bother you again when I have the opportunity to come to Shanghai next time." Yanagida Genzo said with a smile.
He greatly admired Wang Zhen's tea ceremony skills. A lady who could speak fluent Japanese, was born in a Chinese noble family, and had an elegant and luxurious temperament would naturally be admired.
"Chen Jun, please send me electricity before you go outside the customs. I will help you contact the plane. When you arrive in Xinjing, I will be responsible for arranging everything." Takeda Isao said.
A group of senior Japanese military officials came out of the living room of Mara Villa, and Chen Mingxiang stuffed the gifts directly into their hands. It looked like tea in a wooden box, but no one would be so naive.
They have received a lot of gifts from Chen Mingxiang in the past few days. It can be said that they returned home with a full load. Naturally, they will have a good impression of Chen Mingxiang. They even eat and take some gifts, so they have to repay them.
"After our discussions, in order to facilitate your work, we have decided to appoint you as the director of the Special Liaison Office of the Ministry of Interior. The May agency will send a deputy director to be stationed in Bingcheng to be responsible for specific affairs."
"I will give you the position of Director of the Police Department in the Ministry of Interior of the Jinling Government. You will be awarded the highest police rank, with the rank of special officer. You will be transferred from the military position to the highest person in charge of the police department."
"Of course, specific matters will be handled by the executive deputy director. You don't have to go to Jinling to work. If you have important meetings, you can attend them and still work in Shanghai." Matsui Tataro said.
This was at the airport. After putting the senior Japanese military officials from outside the customs and the Japanese military officials from North China on the plane, Matsui Taitaro talked about the personnel arrangements for Chen Mingxiang.
Chen Mingxiang was the director of the General Affairs Department at the Municipal Security Command and was awarded the rank of Army Major General. However, the Police Department of the Ministry of Interior was the highest management agency of the Jinling government police system, and a military position was inappropriate, so he was given the highest police rank and became
He became the director of the Police Department and the highest officer of the Jinling Government Police.ntent
