Conflicts between the Japanese Army and the Navy are ubiquitous, and each is a hindrance to the other. The so-called Japanese Concession should be called the Japanese-occupied area, and the Marine Corps is responsible for maintaining security and order. For the Army's Military Police Headquarters
, the police station and the secret service headquarters didn’t take it seriously at all.
However, the military command, the Central Command, or the underground party will not only operate in the public concession, but also in the Japanese concession, which will cause trouble when arresting them. The Marine Corps does not allow the army military police and special agents to go to the Japanese concession.
Implement action.
In order to solve this problem, Li Shiqun took the hint from Mei's agency and approached the Marine Corps Headquarters to discuss the matter, hoping that the Navy would allow the establishment of a separate Japanese police area in the Japanese Concession on the 76th, so as to make it easier to deal with the military commanders.
Considering the interests of the empire, the navy also believed that this method was reasonable. However, thinking that the army's secret service agency was actually coming to the navy's territory to cause trouble, the navy's senior officials felt very unhappy, so they decided to postpone it for a while.
.
The main people attending the reception tonight from the Navy are Commander Nomura of the Third Fleet, who is Vice Admiral of the Japanese Navy, Rear Admiral Nakamura, the Chief of Staff of the Third Fleet, Rear Admiral Matsue, the Commander of the Marine Corps Command, and others.
.
Almost all high-level officials from the Wang Puppet Government and the Reform Government in Shanghai were present, including Fu Xiaoan. The Japanese Army couldn't afford to offend them, but could the Japanese Navy be offended?
"Minister Chen Gongbo seems to have a good relationship with the Japanese Navy. Is the person next to him a rear admiral?" Chen Mingxiang said.
Chen Gongbo is the number two traitor of the Wang Puppet Government. He previously served as the Minister of Popular Training of the Shancheng Government and the Fifth Minister of the Military Commission and other important positions. Chen Mingxiang knew that he would soon serve as the Legislative President and Minister of Political Training of the Puppet Government.
But before the matter is announced, we can only call him Minister Chen. Damn, there are so many people named Chen.
"That's Major General Ho Hikojiro, our naval attaché stationed in Shanghai. He was promoted just a month ago. Major General Ho and Minister Chen should be the Legislative Yuan soon. They have discussed the issue of Hainan Island, so they are relatively familiar with it.
." Lieutenant Colonel Ono said.
Colonel Nakajima and Lieutenant Colonel Ono both had naval officers they were familiar with and could not accompany Chen Mingxiang, so he felt that the reception was boring. But he also knew that this was an excellent opportunity to collect intelligence, so he walked around with a wine glass in hand.
.
"Chief Chen, I didn't expect you to attend the Navy's cocktail party. It seems I underestimated your energy!" said a familiar voice.
Chen Mingxiang turned around and saw that it was Minami Yunko. She was wearing a well-tailored indigo-dyed Japanese kimono tonight. She showed off a different kind of style and almost didn't recognize her.
This woman is really a gifted dresser. She looks so charming and charming no matter what she wears. Many people around her have salivating expressions on their faces, wishing they could devour her.
"Section Chief Nanzo is also here. I have met Lieutenant Colonel Ono from the Marine Corps Intelligence Office several times. We are relatively familiar friends. He gave me an invitation. Why did you come to the Navy's cocktail party?"
Chen Mingxiang said strangely.
The Army and the Navy are incompatible, and they fight each other when they meet. However, Nanzo Yunzi is the section chief of the Special Section 1 of the Military Police Headquarters. Strictly speaking, she is a senior spy in the Army. She came to the Navy
At the reception, aren’t you worried that the Military Police Headquarters and the Super High School will be unhappy because of this?
"Yunzi, who is this?" A man in his thirties walked over, looking sinister and cunning.
"Chief Chen, let me introduce to you. This is His Excellency Kodama and Shifu, the Chief of the Kodama Agency. This is Chen Mingxiang, the Translation Section Chief of the Secret Service Headquarters. He is also the manager of Huatong Trading Company. Soon
I am about to serve as the representative of the special high school class of the inspection team of the Military Police Headquarters." Nanzo Yunzi said.
It turns out that this guy is the head of the so-called Kodama Agency. No wonder he doesn’t look like a good guy. This damn devil has brought huge property losses and life threats to the people of Shanghai. His hands are stained with the blood of his father and fellow villagers.
Blood.
"Your Excellency, Director of the agency, please take good care of me in the future!" Chen Mingxiang bowed in accordance with Japanese etiquette.
"You are Manager Chen of Huatong Trading Company. It's a pleasure to meet you. With your help, the Marine Corps' daily supplies can meet its needs. Commander Major General Song Zhi appreciates you very much and thinks you are a good member of the Japanese Navy.
friend."
"Yunzi is the imperial flower of the Japanese Empire. Her abilities are beyond imagination. Both the navy and the army need the information she provides. In fact, even if I don't meet you this time, I will take the initiative to find you. Please follow me.
Let me come and talk somewhere else." Kodama and Shifu said with a smile.
Nanzo Yunzi understood it as soon as she heard it. She knew that the Military Police Headquarters deliberately made it difficult for the Marine Corps to purchase military supplies, threatening merchants not to supply daily supplies to the Navy, which made the Navy very embarrassed. It turned out that Chen Mingxiang solved this problem
question.
But she can also understand that for a small person like Chen Mingxiang, the navy's requirements must be met. He cannot afford to offend anyone. He is like a rat in the bellows, suffering from both sides.
The two followed Kodama and Shifu to a relatively quiet room, which was paved with tatami mats and equipped with sliding doors. The entrance to the corridor was guarded by four guys in samurai uniforms.
There are four small tables inside, each with the same wine, food and tea sets.
A guy wearing the uniform of a rear admiral was sitting behind the small table facing the door, pouring himself a drink. He looked about fifty years old.
"Chief Chen, this is the commander of the Second United Air Force from Jiangcheng, His Excellency Rear Admiral Takijiro Onishi, sit down!" Kodama said.
"Hello, General, I am Chen Mingxiang from the Special High School of the Military Police Headquarters." Chen Mingxiang bowed again, scolding the eighteenth generation ancestors of these Japanese devils in his heart.
But he had no choice. This scene did not allow him to act according to his temper. According to the military training method, in order to obtain information, he could use any means, including being a traitor, not to mention practicing Japanese etiquette.
Onishi Takijiro just nodded without even raising his eyelids. In the eyes of a rear admiral like him, he did not have the status of a lowly man.
"Chen Sang, I know that your Huatong Trading Company has close trade relations with the Chiang Kai-shek District. The Kodama Agency will entrust you to purchase rare metals, grain and other materials for the navy. As for the price, you can rest assured. I
I will give you enough profit, and the Navy will not treat its friends badly." Kodama and Shifu said.
"Your Excellency, Director of the Agency, you also know the background of Huatong Trading Company. You should say hello to the Mei Agency or the Super High School for this request. I have no problem here. They are all serving the Empire. It is our duty to do our best for the Navy.
