The so-called liaison office is just a few offices in the building of the secret service headquarters. It only does the transmission of intelligence materials and supervises the handling of cases, and the number of personnel is not too large.
But as the director of the liaison office, Chen Mingxiang arranged his own office, which was connected to two rooms. The various office furniture were of high quality, including European-style sofas, coffee tables, office desks and chairs, as well as a large safe and new curtains.
The wooden floor was also newly laid.
Look, there is actually an independent office in such an important intelligence center. The salary is not ordinary. The dollars given to Yanagida Genzo were not wasted.
"It will probably take a few months for the liaison office to start operating. You should have guessed that the secret service agencies, special high school divisions, police departments and security bureaus in various places are somewhat resistant to this intelligence sharing mechanism and are unwilling to hand over the information and clues in their hands.
Hand it over."
"Competition is everywhere, especially our intelligence department, which is very sensitive to such measures. I estimate that it will be implemented in February next year. This is also the deadline for the Kwantung Army Headquarters. Preparatory work must be completed before the end of the year.
." Yanagida Genzo said.
After making a pot of tea, the two of them discussed the work of the intelligence sharing mechanism in Chen Mingxiang's office. As one of the top leaders of Manchukuo's intelligence department, he was very willing to facilitate this matter.
"The police system in central China is actually controlled by the gendarmerie in various places. Therefore, as long as the gendarmerie headquarters in Shanghai has a clear attitude, this matter will not be difficult to handle."
"As for North China, the situation is basically similar. The biggest difficulty still comes from the wishes of the senior generals at the top. The internal relations of the imperial army's army system are also a bit complicated." Chen Mingxiang said.
The two were talking when they suddenly heard someone knocking on the door. Yanagida Genzo took the initiative to stand up and open the door. The liaison office was still in the preparation stage. The person who came to the office at this time must be looking for him.
"In Dongning, our branch office and the gendarmerie discovered lurking members of the underground party at the same time. The branch chief, Captain Fujishima Ichiro, wanted to take a long-term approach and destroy the underground organization lurking in the local area."
"But Lieutenant Sakamoto, the captain of the local military police unit, believes that the night is long and the dream is too much, so he should arrest the person and dig out more clues through interrogation to prevent the target from losing sight. This matter has been recorded and is not fabricated)"
"Both sides have their own opinions, and they have never been able to reach an agreement. It is about to start a fight. Fujishima Ichiro called to ask what you mean," someone reported in a low voice in the corridor.
Speaking in a low voice was just a professional instinct, but because Yanagida Genzo was standing on the side of the door and Chen Mingxiang was standing not far away, he could hear it very clearly.
He had seen the map of the Puppet Manchukuo before coming and knew that Dongning was a border town close to the Soviet Union. It was also an important area for the Kwantung Army and the intelligence agencies to guard against. Its geographical location was relatively special.
Dongning's secret service and gendarmerie happened to discover the same target, but they had two completely different ways of dealing with it.
The secret service branch believes that there is no need to rush to arrest the targets that have been exposed. Only by following the clues can we get the greatest value and even lead to a series of targets.
What if the arrest is carried out prematurely and the other party does not confess within a short period of time? If there is a problem with the contact, both the target's upline and offline will slip away, which will cause huge losses!
The military police detachment believes that this method is also risky. What if the target is discovered during the surveillance process, or the other party suddenly moves?
The vast majority of the underground party would rather die than surrender, but there is no guarantee that everyone would rather die than surrender. We don’t believe that torture will not produce results!
Even so, it can frighten the local anti-Japanese organizations and find some useful clues from the target's life trajectory.
What both sides said is reasonable, and they are also the two most commonly used methods against anti-Japanese organizations. It is impossible to say who is right and who is wrong. The result is the most important.
The Bingcheng branch of Yuanhexiang Silk Shop is a store that has just opened its doors a few days ago. It has a strategic location and looks very grand. However, it is not officially open yet.
There are more than 20 kinds of beautiful silks and satins on the shelves, which are specialties from Suzhou and Hangzhou in Jiangnan. They are only for samples, but they accept orders from customers.
"Don't worry, the order from the branch will be sent to the Suzhou office today, and the freighter has also sailed to Zhenjiang. It can be loaded and set off tomorrow morning at the latest, and it can arrive in Bingcheng in ten days at most. Let's do it first
Register, put up the sign as soon as the goods arrive, and call customers."
"I have notified the Security Bureau, the Police Department and the Gendarmerie. They will protect our operations. If anyone in the local area dares to cause trouble, you can call the Gendarmerie. I will send some cigarettes and lighters with the ship.
Kind of gifts, remember to give some to those military policemen from time to time."
Lu Kunyu was chatting and laughing with several official wives. When he passed by the door again, he suddenly saw a familiar figure. He was talking to people in the store at the door. Chen Mingxiang was here!
Compared with before, he is more mature and stable, and his eyebrows naturally have the aura of a superior, and his appearance does not seem to have changed much.
Perhaps there really was a feeling of love between lovers. Chen Mingxiang suddenly turned his head and glanced outside, and was slightly startled. Then, he turned his head back, but Lu Kunyu could clearly see longing and joy in his eyes.
"The silks and satins here look so beautiful. I heard they are sold directly by the silk factory in Jiangnan. Let's go in and have a look!" Lu Kunyu said with a smile.
"I have been to this store twice, but Xiurong and the others have never been here. Let's go. I heard that the goods will arrive soon. Please hurry up and make a reservation. I will call you when the time comes." said an official's wife.
.
A group of women came to the store and looked at the silk fabrics chirping like a flock of sparrows. Women can never withstand the temptation of beauty. Taking this opportunity, Lu Kunyu walked over to Chen Mingxiang.
"Looking at the accent of the lady, she is from the south, right?" Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.
Bah, you bad guy, why do we call us southerners? I am a genuine southerner. You, a guy from Shandong Province, have the nerve to call yourself a southerner? You are the son-in-law of a southerner!
"Sir, he speaks with a Shanghai accent. It turns out that I met a fellow from the south. I am from Yongcheng." Lu Kunyu said with a smile.
Hey, you are from Shanghai. Fortunately, you changed your name to Yongcheng. It seems that your cover identity in Bingcheng is that you are originally from Yongcheng. Not to mention, your work is very meticulous. The accents of Yongcheng and Shanghai are similar.
too much.
"It's not easy to meet fellow southerners outside the customs. You ladies have to wait for a while. There is tea brewing in the VIP room over there. I'll treat the fellows to a cup of Longjing tea and have a chat." Chen Mingxiang said.
This kind of high-end consumer goods specialty store originally has VIP rooms. Those who come to buy silk and satin are either rich or expensive, and ordinary people can't afford it!
