"Smooth communication is a necessary condition for completing the mission. I have neglected this matter. I will arrange it for you tomorrow morning. In the name of the headquarters, I issued instructions to the secret service agencies, gendarmerie and police stations of the four cities. These four departments
The radio station is registered with the headquarters and is a commercial liaison radio station registered by the Xinjing Branch of Huatong Trading Company for military supply, and they are not allowed to interfere with its operation."
"I have specially approved four military radio stations for you. You can arrange the radio operators yourself. Just after the agreement was signed, you will operate it so vigorously and resolutely. You will definitely be praised by the commander." Takeda Isao said.
Chen Mingxiang's request was reasonable and reasonable. If he wanted to contact outside the customs and before the Shanghai Stock Exchange at any time, he could only use the radio. This was an indispensable equipment and method. It was too easy for him to transfer four radio stations from the headquarters.
The purpose of monitoring the radio is to eradicate military control and underground parties. Huatong Trading Company is said to be a military management company of the Military Police Headquarters in Shanghai. It is half of its own people. Chen Mingxiang is the most loyal follower of the empire and has always served the imperial army.
Why are you monitoring his commercial radio station if you have nothing to do?
"Takeda-kun, the secret code used by Huatong Trading Company was compiled by the Special High School Section of the Military Police Headquarters in Shanghai. Do I need to file it with the local intelligence agency?" Chen Mingxiang asked.
The professional quality of the intelligence agencies and police of the puppet Manchukuo was far from being comparable to that of the puppet police in central China. Most of them had received education from Japanese police schools.
Chen Mingxiang knew that once the radio station in Manchukuo started sending reports to Shanghai, it would be immediately targeted by the Japanese and the pseudo-police, and there might be someone copying the contents of his messages.
In addition, there is a huge figure squatting outside the customs, that is, the notorious Manchurian Railway Investigation Department. Maybe the other party will already know about it as soon as he arrives in Xinjing.
"It's not necessary. The amount of materials purchased by the headquarters is a military secret. It is handled directly by the management department. They are not qualified to know. They only need to comply with the requirements of the headquarters and cooperate." Yoshitake Furuno shook his head and said.
"Before coming to Xinjing, Major General Kinoshita Sakae also specifically stated that the Manchurian Railway Investigation Department is very powerful, and our cooperation must not be hidden from them. I am even worried that among the personnel recruited outside the customs, there will be investigators
The eyes and ears of the ministry." Chen Mingxiang said.
This is true. Kinoshita Eichi really told him about the Manchurian Railway Investigation Department. The old background of Huatong Trading Company must have been investigated long ago. Once business is carried out outside the customs, it will definitely attract the attention of the Investigation Department.
.
Although the Investigation Department also serves the empire, the military has always been wary of this department and does not want the other party's hands to extend into its territory.
"You don't have to worry too much about the Manchurian Railway Investigation Department. This is just an intelligence investigation agency, not a military intelligence agency. They have no restrictions on you and must obey the leadership of the headquarters."
"Before the establishment of Manchukuo, the Manchukuo Investigation Department was an intelligence agency outside the military. But after the establishment of Manchukuo, all the intelligence systems outside the customs were managed by the headquarters. What's more, they themselves are in big trouble now.
, I have no intention of thinking too much about the work of the headquarters." Lieutenant General Yukio Kasahara said.
"The Manchurian Railway Investigation Department is in trouble. I haven't heard what measures the commander will take to restrain them," Isao Takeda said with some confusion.
"This is not an action initiated by our headquarters, but a decision made by the Tokyo Cabinet. Of course you don't know that in May of this year, Manchurian Railway Senior Investigator Nakanishi Ko, who is also an advisor to the dispatched army headquarters, was arrested in Hangzhou.
Arrested, his identity is actually an underground party."
"Since the Sorge case, more than a dozen secret members of the underground party have been discovered in the Manchurian Railway. They have stolen a large number of military secrets. The North China Front Army's raids have failed many times. With their intelligence support, the military has
This matter is taken very seriously.”
"Prime Minister Tojo is very worried about the Mantetsu Investigation Department. He thinks that some investigators have a problem with their thinking, and has decided to conduct a major review of the Mantetsu Investigation Department. The president of Mantetsu, Omura Takuichi, has gone to Tokyo to be interviewed.
, the Cabinet informed the Kwantung Army Headquarters to pay close attention to the development of the situation, and the Kwantung Army Military Police Headquarters will be responsible for specific affairs." Lieutenant General Yukio Kasahara said.
As the chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, he held a high position. It was not surprising at all to know the news from the top. This was determined by his position. If he wanted to take measures in Manchukuo, he would definitely inform the headquarters first.
Chen Mingxiang had heard of Zhongxi Gong and the arrests carried out by the Tokyo Military Police Headquarters' Special High School Division. His position in the Shanghai Military Police Headquarters allowed him to receive some top-secret information.
Speaking of which, this incident is related to the famous Sorge spy case. It was also an incident that shocked the Japanese. The private secretary of Japanese Prime Minister Konoe Fumimaro was actually an intelligence agent of the underground party, and Isao Nakanishi was also part of this intelligence organization.
a member of.
The Japanese were greatly influenced by the Emperor, but not all of them were fanatics. There were also many rational people.
This war brought great harm and massacre to China, and had a great impact on Japan. Under such circumstances, the Japanese military and cabinet have become more and more strict on ideological control, and the same is true for the Japanese.
The reason for taking measures against the Manchurian Railway Investigation Department is very simple: fear
"Your Excellency General, I have been entrusted by General Matsui to pay a special visit to you. I also send greetings to you on behalf of General Matsui. He asked me to convey that if there is an opportunity, I must come to Shanghai to gather together. He will also come to Xinjing to visit when he has time.
You." Chen Mingxiang said.
Early in the morning, he went to the Military Police Headquarters and sent a telegram to Huatong Trading Company using the radio station of the Special High School, requesting a radio operator from the headquarters, who would stay in Xinjing for about a month.
When the Kwantung Army's plane arrives in Shanghai in the afternoon, your bodyguard will send back the material exchange agreement and material list. The headquarters will seize the time to start preparations, and the radio operator will follow the plane back to Xinjing.
Afterwards, he went to the Puppet Imperial Palace to meet Yoshioka Yasunao, in the name of Matsui Tataro, and the other party warmly received him in the office.
"Chen Jun, I read Matsui-kun's letter. The two of us are very good friends. Since you work for the Kwantung Army Headquarters, there is not much I can do to help you. If you need anything, please call me.
, I will try my best to do it for you." Yasuo Yoshioka said.
Chen Mingxiang established a connection with the Kwantung Army Headquarters, and Yasuo Yoshioka, a senior Japanese official who supervised the puppet emperor of Manchukuo, was reduced to the lowest value and was only a spare resource.
But in order to expand his network of relationships, Chen Mingxiang still gave him $50,000 as a meeting gift. This price was definitely not low, and he naturally got his commitment.
