Chen Mingxiang also had his own considerations. Both Kage Sasaki and Shibayama Kenshiro were veteran agents of the Japanese Army and knew each other very well. He also hoped to get some information about Shibayama Kenshiro from Kage Sasaki's mouth in order to eradicate
Li Shiqun's plan provides reference.
"Your Excellency General, I know that Li Shiqun did use the power in his hands to gain great personal benefits, but this is also the norm for government officials from various places in the Jinling government, not an isolated phenomenon. Look at those provincial chairmen and mayors from various places.
Who is not extremely rich? There is no need for Shibayama Kenshiro to take action over this matter?" Chen Mingxiang said.
Yingzuo Zhenzhao was not happy in his position as artillery commander. He came to the border with the identity of a loser. He didn’t have many acquaintances here. If he wanted to find someone to chat with, there was no topic. How could the Japanese soldiers outside the border know anything?
Things within the customs, let alone the Mei trap.
When people are lonely and depressed for a long time, they will lose their previous level of speaking and unconsciously reveal some information. Of course, this is only done to acquaintances like Chen Mingxiang.
"This must be a process. Kenshiro Shibayama will not kill him as soon as he comes up. I guess his first move is to weaken Li Shiqun's foundation, such as the Qingxiang Committee. No one in this organization knows better than me that it is independent.
Another set of government agencies besides the Jinling government.”
"Nominally, the Qingxiang Committee is a subordinate agency of the Jinling government, but you see, in terms of personnel, Li Shiqun, the secretary-general, is the actual controller. The top leaders of the Qingxiang Committee are basically people from the secret service headquarters. Qingxiang area
The taxes are also controlled within the scope of Su Province, and the security forces, police forces and special forces of the Qingxiang Committee only obey Li Shiqun's orders."
"Although power is highly centralized and the Qingxiang work is progressing smoothly, the Jinling government is not happy. Zhou Hai has proposed to me more than once that the Qingxiang Committee should be abolished because the Executive Yuan and the Ministry of Finance have completely lost control of the entire Jiangsu Province.
Get some benefit."
"The Qingxiang Committee has become Li Shiqun's own organization. It has gained huge benefits from material control and economic blockade, and even controlled part of the military power for this purpose. Shibayama Kenshiro will definitely follow the advice of the Jinling government and bring Qingxiang to the throne.
The committee has been cancelled." Shadow Zhenzhao said.
He admires Li Shiqun very much. This person is indeed capable. After getting along for a long time, he will always have some feelings for him. Some of him will even regret it now. He should not promote Li Shiqun too quickly. The consequences of pushing back the seedlings will only make the seedlings die.
.
"Your Excellency, General, you mean that Shibayama Kenshiro wants to cancel the Qingxiang work? But the facts are before our eyes. The Qingxiang work is still very effective. He will not do such a thing that is detrimental to the empire just to celebrate with you."
?" Chen Mingxiang asked.
"It is impossible to stop the work of clearing the countryside. As you said, facts have proved that it has achieved great results, which is beneficial to both the empire and the Jinling government. Moreover, the dispatched army headquarters highly recognizes this. Chaishan and
Shiro doesn't have the guts to fight with General Junliu."
"But changing the operation method did not have a big impact. His purpose was to weaken Li Shiqun's power and influence and leave the rural clearing work to the local government. Just like the Shanghai Stock Exchange, Li Shiqun did not intervene. The Jinling government had already
Just guard against him."
"The empire gave the power of material control to the Jinling government in the hope that the Jinling government can assume its own obligations and responsibilities and assist the empire in winning this war, especially in terms of material support, which requires the full cooperation of all provinces and special cities.
"
"Su Province is the most complete and richest province in the Jinling government. It plays an irreplaceable role, especially in terms of food. It is not only the main source of food for dispatched troops, but also an important supplement to the empire's local food needs. It also supports the Shanghai market.
Survival rations.”
"Li Shiqun holds the power in Su Province, and the Jinling government has no way to restrict him, and his words and actions are intolerable to the empire. Of course, if he actively cooperates with the imperial army in requisitioning grain and obeys the will of the empire, he will be relieved
Because of his relationship with the Jinling government, Shibayama Kenshiro may not necessarily kill him."
"If he can't do it, then Shibayama Kenshiro's second step is to replace the position of Jiangsu Provincial Chairman with someone else. If he refuses, it will be a dead end, and even the secret service headquarters will be cancelled. Why do I agree with Zhou Hai's proposal?
The purpose of abolishing the Ministry of Police was to warn him that he must never fight against the will of the empire. Unfortunately, he did not learn his lesson."
"It's my fault. I single-handedly pushed Li Shiqun to this level. In three years, he walked a path that others would take at least thirty years to complete. Suddenly he is in a high position. He has no experience or accumulation. Sooner or later, something will happen.
It's better to just be the director of the secret service headquarters, he seems to be only thirty-eight years old!" Yingzuo Zhenzhao said.
"Your Majesty General, how can I blame you for this matter? This is Li Shiqun's own choice, and it is also the path he takes. He must bear the corresponding price. If I were the chairman of Jiangsu Province, would you think it would be wrong?
Will something like this happen?" Chen Mingxiang said.
He confirmed two things. Kage Sasaki's judgment of Shibayama Kenshiro will not be very wrong. The first is that the Qingxiang Committee will be abolished, and Li Shiqun will definitely jump over the wall. The second is that he wants to eradicate Li Shiqun, and the food problem is
Fatal.
At noon that day, Ying Zuo Zhenzhao drank a lot. His friendship with Li Shiqun was not to this extent. The key is that Li Shiqun was the flag he set up as the chief of the Mei Agency and the top military adviser of the Wang Puppet Government.
Just like the relationship between Wang Jingwei and the Japanese government, when the flag fell, everything failed.
"Chen Jun, the Chief of Police has reached his limit. Don't compete for a higher position, even if it means giving you the provincial chairmanship. Remember my words, never leave Shanghai, focus on serving you.
If the imperial army does material work, you will always be safe."
"Shibayama Kenshiro is a very insidious person, and he has been doing intelligence work for a long time. Those cross-border activities in the past must be restrained appropriately to avoid being caught by him. Since he is performing tasks at the base camp, his authority may be higher than mine.
.”
"After you return, you must apply to Kinoshita-kun for a written order, which will be issued by the Dispatch Army Headquarters, the Thirteenth Army Headquarters and the Shanghai Military Police Headquarters, giving you clear authority to contact intelligence agencies such as the Military Command Bureau.
, acquiescence is not acceptable." Yingzuo Zhenzhao said.
This was what he said in a low voice when sending Chen Mingxiang off to the plane. This was the second time Chen Mingxiang came to see him. He brought his favorite tea and a considerable gift. He didn't care about the things.
, but he values this friendship very much, and he cannot say this easily.
