Chen Mingxiang sat in the car of Major General Yanagida Genzo. After leaving the security bureau, he returned to the hotel and changed clothes. Then he came to a Japanese restaurant. The deputy directors of the Ice City Police Department, Sonoda Kanji and Akiyoshi Weirou were already at the gate.
Waited.
From the outside, this looks like an ordinary Japanese-style house, but there is a guard at the door, and you need to show your ID. The building is an all-wood structure, and the interior is very clean. There are rooms after passing through the hall. After entering through the sliding door, there are tatami mats, which is quite large.
It's spacious and has beautiful waitresses running back and forth.
Chen Mingxiang soon discovered that the people who came here to eat were all Japanese. It could be heard from the conversation that there was no sense of unfamiliarity. Basically, the people he met were junior officers. It was probably a place dedicated to receiving generals and officers above the middle level.
place.
Lieutenant Colonel Kasuga Kaoru of the Ice City Military Police did not follow, but instead invited Chen Mingxiang to dinner on behalf of Major General Hara Mori. Obviously, the relationship between the secret service headquarters and the Military Police was not very harmonious.
"This is due to the unclear division of powers. According to the regulations of the Kwantung Army Headquarters, the Security Bureau is under the management of the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Public Security of Manchukuo. The police chiefs of each province also serve as the security chiefs. The secret service agencies are assigned to the Security Bureau to guide the work. Qiuyoshi Jun
Externally, he is the deputy director."
"What you see is only the peripheral system of the Security Bureau. In fact, the core business is entirely handled by imperial agents. The agencies stationed in various cities are called special agent offices, and they all have their own cover identities. Although the agents who arrested you are also Japanese
He has a relatively simple job, leading Chinese personnel to hunt down agents of the underground party and the Military Command Bureau."
"The Military Police also have the power to guide the work of the Security Bureau and can also issue orders. As a result, they often have intrigues with each other, and often even the work itself is delayed due to internal conflicts." Major General Yanagida Genzo said while drinking tea.
said.
Chen Mingxiang also learned some inside stories about the Security Bureau. It was originally a secret service agency specially established by the Kwantung Army Headquarters in September of the 26th year of the Republic of China. It mainly targeted the Soviet Union and claimed to be the secret police of the Puppet Manchukuo Public Security Department.
In fact, the security bureaus of each province are divided into two systems: the internal and external systems. The external system is the security bureau station where Chen Mingxiang arrived today. The members here are public and consistent with the functions of the police department.
The internal system is all Japanese agents, their identities are extremely confidential, and they use various professions as cover. They will not appear casually at the Security Bureau's station. The organization is very strict and the disciplines are very strict.
"Chen Jun came to Ice City this time for something important? If there is a need for the Security Bureau, please just say so. I am very willing to help friends in the empire," Qiuyoshi Weilang said.
Although he managed a smile, his face was swollen from Yanagida Genzo's beating, and it still hurts, which made him look a little funny.
The reason why Yanagida Genzo was furious this time was stimulated by many reasons. Although Chen Mingxiang did give money and gifts, it was not that simple.
Again, putting aside the beastly behavior of the Japanese invaders for now, how can a person who can be a general be simple? What's more, he is the chief of the Kwantung Army's secret service, and his thinking is so naive?
First of all, Chen Mingxiang is a "meritorious person" who was awarded the second-class Ruibao Shigeko Medal by the Emperor of Japan. This kind of imperial medal is not awarded casually. For such a special person, the image of the empire must be taken into consideration, even his own followers in China.
If there is no way to protect them, who is willing to sacrifice their lives for Japan?
Secondly, the public security of the Puppet Manchukuo has always been considered by the Japanese government as a model for occupied areas, and its professional quality is much higher than that of the Jinling Government and the North China Government Affairs Commission in the pass.
At the joint meeting, senior Japanese military officials in the Kwantung Army system often boasted about the Manchukuo spies and police. As a result, Yanagida Gensan was slapped in the face in this incident. At this level, he had the nerve to laugh at the spies and policemen in Kwantung.
police?
Furthermore, the Kwantung Army Bingcheng Secret Service Headquarters has always believed that the Security Bureau is its own territory and also belongs to the secret service. However, the Military Police always have their say and often interfere with the operations of the Security Bureau. The two families are actually fighting openly and secretly.
.
The Binjiang Provincial Security Bureau arrested Chen Mingxiang who came to Ice City this time. It is estimated that this matter will definitely become the excuse for the military police headquarters to attack the secret service headquarters.
In addition, Yukio Kasahara, chief of staff of the Kwantung Army Headquarters, had just received Chen Mingxiang's "intention", and the negotiations between the two parties went very smoothly. When he heard that something had happened in Ice City, he scolded him for it.
Yanagida Genzo was already angry, but was severely criticized by his boss, and when he was in an extremely bad mood, a slap in the face was considered a mild punishment.
"This time I came to Hyoucheng specifically to visit General Yanagita. The Police Department needs to set up a liaison office at the secret service headquarters. I believe Deputy Chief Shibuya has already informed the various security bureaus."
"In addition, it is not easy to go outside the customs. I took this opportunity to take a look at my own business. In the bustling area of Bingcheng Central Street, I opened branches of Yuan Hexiang Silk and Satin Shop and Baoshengyuan Tea Shop, as well as an office
place."
"It won't take too long, just two or three days, and then I'll take the Kwantung Army's transport plane back to Shanghai. There's nothing I dare to bother you about."
"I just hope that the Security Bureau will find the false accuser. This is my first time in Manchukuo, and I haven't offended anyone. Who wants to be so hard on me?" Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.
It would be damning if the Security Bureau could find him. He assigned bodyguards to handle this matter privately. After making the phone call, he retreated to the hotel. They were disguised the whole time so that no one familiar with him could recognize him.
The agents of the Security Bureau could not even imagine that this matter was a farce directed and performed by Chen Mingxiang in order to muddy the waters and make the Kwantung Army's intelligence department think wildly.
"Chen Jun is right. This matter is a bit strange. The other party clearly knew that you had a special status, but still made such a childish move and reported it to the Gendarmerie, Security Bureau and Police Station. The purpose was definitely not to deal with you."
"In my opinion, what they did is not even a warning, it should be a reminder or a signal, but their intentions cannot be determined yet."
"Your little property in Manchukuo is not worth mentioning to the real big forces. You have just arrived in Manchukuo for a few days and haven't had any conflicts with anyone. I have a rough guess. Let's drink first.
Well, I will take you to visit the secret service headquarters this afternoon." Yanagida Genzo said.
After eliminating all the impossible factors, what was left was naturally the most logical choice. Just like Chen Mingxiang thought, he targeted the Manchuria Railway Investigation Department.
Because we know that Chen Mingxiang's visit to Xinjing to negotiate material exchange with representatives of the Kwantung Army Headquarters is confidential, and very few people know about it. The Manchuria Railway Investigation Department has this ability, and the headquarters has their people.
