This is another story about the internal conflicts of the Japanese Army. At the beginning of the 29th year of the Republic of China, Okamura Neiji was dismissed because he opposed Army Minister Seishiro Itagaki's strategy of luring the Yamashiro government to surrender. As a result, he conflicted with the general direction of the military at that time.
He was transferred back to China and served as a military counselor.
It was not until the 30th year of the Republic of China that he was appointed by the Emperor of Japan to serve as commander of the North China Front Army and was promoted to the rank of Army General after sitting on the bench for a year.
Although Okamura Neiji has the same military rank as Hata Shunroku, together with Nagata Tetsuzan and Obata Toshishiro, he is known as the Sanba Karasu of the Army, and has long been connected with Emperor Hirohito, but in terms of his status and relationship in the military,
It's so much worse than Shunroku Hata.
Shunroku Hata was born into a prosperous samurai family in Japan. His elder brother Eitaro Hata was also an army general and the commander of the Kwantung Army. However, he fell ill and died in Fengtian in the 19th year of the Republic of China.
And Okamura Neji was just from a declining samurai family. If the military boss, Shunroku Hata, who had served as Minister of War and the Emperor's Attaché, turned against him, he would have no choice but to retreat.
Even the commander of the Thirteenth Army Headquarters, Shigeru Sawada, to be honest, he couldn't afford to offend. He was a confidant of the Army's biggest boss behind the scenes, Prince Kanin Miyazaihito.
"Thank you General for clarifying my doubts. These words are really priceless. I know what to do, and I will never forget your tips. You will definitely gain something from the material exchange between Huatong Trading Company and the Kwantung Army."
." Chen Mingxiang said.
You guys don't admit it, so you're going to let me take the blame!
Chen Mingxiang understood the core element of this task, which is whether he can do it or not!
He must repay Matsui Taitarou with a lot of money for taking care of him. Don't look at these few sentences. Only someone with considerable qualifications and an extremely understanding of the Japanese army system can say this. The previous $100,000 was far from enough in return.
of.
"You are doing things for the empire, and you are also doing things for the military. I remind you that you should concentrate on doing this job well first, and we will talk about other things later." Matsui Tataro said with a smile.
He certainly wouldn't refuse free benefits. People are willing to give them, and there are no military secrets involved. Why should such money be extended to others? He has no enmity with U.S. dollar gold.
Since it involved such a major matter, Kimura, the consultant of the Central Bank of China, certainly did not dare to neglect and quickly approved the foreign exchange and gold expenditure.
After having dinner at a restaurant with people from the Police Department at noon, Chen Mingxiang went to the vault of the China Reserve Bank of China as soon as he went to work in the afternoon, and transported 50 kilograms of gold and one million US dollars to his residence in Jinling, and then returned again
Office of the Director of Police.
Both things were completed very successfully. He had no intention of staying in Jinling. He planned to go home and tidy up before heading out of the customs. He would benefit from it if he started earlier.
"I still have to deal with important matters assigned by the Mei government. I need to go outside the customs. It will take about a week to return to Shanghai. After I leave, the work of the department will be handed over to you."
"Considering that I am based in Shanghai and have too many part-time jobs, it is very troublesome to take the train from Jinling to Shanghai. I plan to set up a secretarial office in Shanghai to be responsible for contacting the department. It will be located in Shanghai.
Foreign Affairs Office of the Municipal Special Municipal Government.”
"Before this office was established, if the Police Department encountered major matters, you could directly call the Municipal Government's Foreign Affairs Office and I would arrange for someone to answer the call," Chen Mingxiang said.
He originally didn't intend to get involved with the bad things happening at the Police Department, but after thinking about it, he felt it was inappropriate. This is the highest police leadership organization of the Wang Puppet Government. If he gave up his power easily, wouldn't it be a waste of resources?
It was given for free, why not make good use of it?
Therefore, before leaving, Chen Mingxiang held a meeting with the deputy section chief or above of the Police Department and directly announced his decision, which allowed no objection. There was no one in the Police Department who dared to challenge him head-on.
"Director, you can rest assured that we will report the important work of the Police Department in a timely manner and conscientiously implement your decision. We will arrange a dedicated person to be in charge of connecting with the Foreign Affairs Office of the Shanghai Special Municipal Government later," Du Shengjian said.
"The Secretariat of the Ministry of Finance called and said that Minister Zhou has approved a special fund of 100,000 yuan for the director of the Police Department. From now on, the same amount will be allocated every month. You will make the decision on the specific arrangements." Yan Ming
Lun said with a smile.
Sun Shengmin felt bitter. Didn't it mean that this guy Chen Mingxiang didn't care about the Police Secretary and would not interfere in the handling of specific affairs?
Once this secretary's office is established, Chen Mingxiang will be able to make timely decisions on the work arrangements of the Police Department and strengthen his ties with the department, which invisibly weakens his power as the executive deputy director.
There is also intrigue within the Police Department, and the relationship is very complicated. He and the other two deputy directors were originally from Chen Qun, and they are also competing for the position of director.
It's just that he had a stronger background and became the executive deputy director ahead of schedule, and was also the first choice for director. Du Shengjian and Yan Minglun were not convinced by this.
Chen Mingxiang strongly assumed the position of director-general. This was an arrangement arranged by the Supreme Military Advisory Group. As Minister of the Interior, Chen Qun could only obey orders. Sun Shengmin also understood that he could not afford to offend the new director-general.
"The two of them said together that you three have been following me for nothing for all these years. You don't understand the basic rules and don't act according to the rules of the game. No wonder people want to reduce your power. You deserve it!"
"You are indeed young, but the director is your official position and your top leader. How do you do it when people come to work in the department? I have already found someone to watch you, and each of them doesn't know what to do.
Even if you visit, you don’t know how to report, and you look down on Chen Mingxiang?”
"I don't even think about it. He can become a popular figure in the Military Police Headquarters in Shanghai, and be appreciated by Lieutenant General Matsui, and be directly promoted from the deputy director of the Shanghai Municipal Social Affairs Bureau to the director of police. How can he be a simple person?"
"Let me tell you, this young man's methods of doing things are very sophisticated. Otherwise, how could he be regarded as a close relative by Chen Gongbo? Zhou Fahai also admires him very much. Anyone who underestimates him will suffer a big loss sooner or later." Chen Qun was in the office.
Said with a sneer.
The old subordinates went to the old leader to complain, but he had no intention of supporting him. On the one hand, he couldn't support it. Even if he was Chen Mingxiang's superior, if he was determined not to buy it, he would have no tricks at all. Mei Guan and
Lieutenant General Matsui can decide the fate of all Jinling government officials.
On the other hand, Chen Mingxiang did nothing wrong in this matter. On the contrary, his people made a fool of themselves. Rules are rules and cannot be broken casually. It is a joke that a deputy dares to despise his official position!
He also knew what Sun Shengmin was thinking. It was just that he was angry because he had not become a boss. In addition, he thought he was senior, so he was not so respectful to Chen Mingxiang. You stupid pig, don't you even look at who this person is?
