"The U.S. Embassy has sent an invitation, asking you to attend tonight's cocktail party to celebrate the U.S. military's victory in the Battle of Guadalcanal and its acquisition of the initiative in the South Pacific." Pan Qiwu said with a smile.
Through Chen Mingxiang, the Military Command Bureau protected American expatriates in the Shanghai Public Settlement. For this reason, it also received the attention and support of the U.S. Embassy. This was the second time that Dai Li was invited to a reception at the embassy.
"The attitude of the U.S. government is also the most important support for our Military Command. Now the commissioners have some misunderstandings about me. In addition, the Chen brothers have repeatedly slandered me. Although it will not affect the Military Command during the war, it will be difficult to say after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War.
Already."
"The ambassador of the United States and the United Kingdom have repeatedly mentioned my contribution to the Military Command Bureau and me in front of the old man during this period. My wife also helped to speak. The old man's fear of me has eased a lot. This is because of the wind, and it is also for the Military Command Bureau.
His significant contribution cannot be measured in terms of money."
"When you leave, take the letters from the embassies of various countries to the overseas Chinese. Not only did they express their sincere gratitude to Feng, praising him as the best friend of each country, but they also gave him funding and medicine. This kid actually got a lot for himself.
A piece of political capital." Dai Li said.
Speaking of the misunderstanding between the committee members and Dai Li, it was actually Dai Li who was looking for trouble. According to the practice of the Bureau of Military Command, he held a meeting on April 1 last year. He had nothing to do and invited the old man to the venue to review and lecture him. As a result,
This has resulted in the current situation.
The old man saw that the Military Control Bureau was too powerful, encompassing almost all the important military and political departments of the mountain city government. There were more than 40,000 agents on staff, as well as the Zhongyi Rescue Army. The power was so great that he felt heartbroken.
Terrified.
Dai Li's expansion was so fast that it exceeded his tolerance limit, and he has recently begun to curb it. Tang Zong, who was pulled over by the old man, was appointed as an assistant to the Military Command Bureau, which actually meant surveillance.
Of course, this is a limited restriction. The rule of the mountain city government cannot be separated from the Military Control Bureau, which is essentially inseparable from the secret service. Moreover, it is now a stage of resistance, so it is somewhat precarious.
The Central Bureau of Statistics is a bunch of rubbish. It can't stand up at all. It makes a mess in collecting reports and fighting against the enemy. If the Military Bureau is destroyed, the old man himself can't imagine what the consequences will be.
"Secretary Pan actually wants to come to the Shanghai Stock Exchange. Let me tell you that the reasons behind this matter are not simple!" Chen Mingxiang said with a smile while holding the telegram.
"Is he really here because of Liu Nina's matter?" Wang Zhen asked curiously.
"Only her? She doesn't deserve it! Secretary Pan is Boss Dai's top secret, and a small role like Liu Nina is not in his eyes at all. Even if it is this newspaper coordination agency, there is no need to make a grand visit."
"This visit to Shanghai must have another purpose. We should stay the same to cope with the changes. We will take a few days off during the New Year. After a busy year, it is not too much to rest." Chen Mingxiang said.
"The closer the New Year is, the busier you will be. Besides paying New Year greetings and drinking, you might as well relax as usual. Okay, I'll make dumplings for you tonight. By the way, you don't plan to hold a new cocktail party during the festival?" Wang Zhen
Said with a smile.
"What a hell, the army was defeated in Guadalcanal in the South Pacific. Both the army and the navy suffered heavy losses. I am a loyal follower of the empire. At this time, I should express my feelings by silence. From now on
It’s hard to say whether there is another reception like this,” Chen Mingxiang said.
After receiving five properties and a large amount of wealth in the public concession, he could not live alone, so he went to the Marine Corps headquarters this morning. As a result, he heard accurate news about the Battle of Guadalcanal.
In fact, in mid-December last year, the Army and Navy proposed abandoning Guadalcanal, and this suggestion was also endorsed by the CEO of the Army General Staff Headquarters and other staff members.
At the end of December, Chief of Army Chief of Staff Moto Sugiyama and Chief of Naval Command Osamu Nagano reported the base camp's decision to the Emperor, and received approval to implement the retreat plan for Operation K.
In this battle, our army and navy lost a total of more than 20,000 elite personnel, about half of whom died of disease and starvation. This also shows the brutality of the war. With the US military gaining air supremacy, logistical supplies were no longer available.
Realize it, and if you continue to persist, the only way is to annihilate the entire army.
In addition to the loss of personnel, there were also losses of 24 ships including one light aircraft carrier, two battleships, three heavy cruisers, and 683 aircraft of various types.
This battle brought many signals. For example, the United States began to implement local counterattacks and achieved victory in the Battle of Midway and the Battle of Guadalcanal. Japan suffered consecutive defeats and lost the initiative in the war. As a result, it could only carry out
defense.
It is precisely because of the disastrous defeat in the Battle of Guadalcanal that this government decided to imprison foreign nationals in concentration camps to avoid being adversely affected by the war and creating hidden dangers in the "rear area."
"Teacher, welcome to Shanghai again. We haven't seen each other for a long time." Chen Mingxiang received Pan Qiwu who came with the boat at Shiliupu Pier.
This transportation line is the main channel for Huatong Trading Company to exchange supplies for the army. The military police headquarters takes special care of it. The military police team at the dock eats a lot every day. As long as it is for the company's merchants, it will not be blocked or blocked.
After cross-examination, there is absolutely no problem with safety.
"Mingxiang, it seems that the atmosphere in this public concession is a bit tense. There are military police and police everywhere. Are they preparing to arrest people?" Pan Qiwu asked, looking out the car window.
The public concession has set up roadblocks at major intersections, and the gendarmerie, marines and police from the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau have effectively blocked off the entire concession area.
"Yes, if you had come two days later, you probably wouldn't have seen any foreigners in the public concession. I received a notice to arrest them the day after tomorrow. Martial law has been implemented and these foreigners are not allowed to leave their residences."
Chen Mingxiang said.
On February 13th of the 32nd year of the Republic of China, under the joint command of the Military Police Headquarters in Shanghai and the Marine Corps Headquarters in Shanghai, all the concentration camps in Shanghai were completed and divided into Shanghai Foreign Nationals Concentration Camps.
There are four categories: church personnel concentration camps, Allied prisoner of war concentration camps and Chinese prisoner of war concentration camps.
There are currently seven foreign nationals concentration camps in Shanghai, namely Pu*dong Concentration Camp, Longhua Concentration Camp, Zhabei Concentration Camp, Shanghai West First Concentration Camp, Shanghai West Second Concentration Camp, Shanghai West Third Concentration Camp and Shanghai West Fourth Concentration Camp.
There are six concentration camps for church personnel, namely the first concentration camp for church personnel, the second concentration camp for church personnel, the third concentration camp for church personnel, the fourth concentration camp for church personnel, the fifth concentration camp for church personnel, and the sixth concentration camp for church personnel.
There are five Allied Prisoner of War Concentration Camps in Shanghai, namely Wusong Allied Prisoner of War Camp, Jiangwan Allied Prisoner of War Camp, Navy Prisoner of War Camp, Huade Road, Tilanqiao Prison Allied Prisoner of War Camp and Daqiao Prison Allied Prisoner of War Camp, Huaxia
The prisoner of war concentration camp is the Xuhui prisoner of war camp.
