"After General Saburo Miura failed to assassinate General Nishio Juzo, I was transferred out of the special high school class and became the leader of the Jiangxia Military Police Detachment. In the blink of an eye, it has been more than two years. I never thought that one day I would return to Shanghai. Old friend
I also cherish being able to get together. Come, let’s have a drink first!” Major Gangcun raised his glass.
This is of course in a room in the Mara Villa. Chen Mingxiang specially built a Japanese-style small restaurant to entertain senior Japanese generals and relatives of the Japanese military agencies in Shanghai. Partitions were installed, such as sliding doors, tatami mats, etc.
Everything is available, and the tableware is also purely Japanese.
There must be a servant in Chen Mingxiang's home, but apart from cleaning the house during the prescribed time, she does not usually go to work. Only the chef has to make lunch and dinner. This is why Wang Zhen likes the world of two people and does not want others to interfere with her and Chen Mingxiang.
private life.
Therefore, tonight, the chef prepared the meal, and Wang Zhen personally served the food to the small restaurant. These people bowed and thanked her, but she felt a little uncomfortable.
She also knew that Major Okamura was Chen Mingxiang's starting point. Let's put it this way, it was he who supported Chen Mingxiang in establishing Huatong Trading Company and worked as a thread to get the then gendarmerie commander, Major General Miura Saburo, to agree to smuggle with the Kuomintang-controlled area and give the gendarmerie
The command’s power of inspection-free passage.
Wang Zhen had met the current commander, Kinoshita Eichi, and had come to his house for dinner. Chen Mingxiang always said that Okamura Shizo and Kinoshita Eichi were somewhat similar. She didn't know what he meant until she saw the real person.
Okamura Mikizo gives people the impression that he doesn't like to talk, and his face is a bit gloomy. When you see him, you can tell that he is a guy who is not easy to get in touch with.
"Actually, all of us, except Chen Jun, are stuck in the same place, but he has risen through the ranks and is now the Chief of Police of the Jinling Government. When this higher police academy in Shanghai starts to send talents to police stations in various places, that will be considered a success.
I have really established a foothold in the police system." Warrant Officer Shibuya said.
"Shibuya-kun, I have not forgotten you. For such an important police system training institution, Okamura-kun is going to be a consultant, so you can't be idle. The High Police Academy will hire experts from the empire to serve as professors, and Manchukuo will
The Ministry of Public Security will dispatch senior police officers as instructors, and they will be affiliated with the Instructor Division. You will serve as the director of this division and also serve as a school board member, and you will be paid two salaries." Chen Mingxiang said.
Everyone understands this arrangement. Those experts from Japan and senior officers from outside the customs do need people from the Military Police Special High School to supervise and manage them. If they have a temper, they dare not get angry at Warrant Officer Shibuya.
"You want me to carry the thunder for you, right? I also feel a little bored on the 76th. It would be nice to work in the police academy. Okay, I agreed. No one in custody will dare to fight you." Shibuya
The warrant officer was overjoyed.
The Jinling Government Police Department's Higher Police School in Shanghai will enroll more than a thousand students in the first batch. In addition to the school's own managers and instructors, as well as the staff of each constituent organization, there will be at least 1,500 people.
You know, if you say it, your worth will double. This is a kind of qualification.
"Chen Jun, I heard that you closed two of your textile factories in Suzhou? Could it be that with the cotton resources in Suzhou, we can't afford to support your two factories?" Captain Tsukamoto asked.
The distance between Suzhou and Hangzhou is not too far. If there is any trouble in Suzhou, Hangzhou will receive the news soon. Now cotton can be used as currency in the Kuomintang-controlled area. The price changes every day. Chen Mingxiang closed two textile factories.
The loss is definitely not small.
"Those textile merchants who were not yet in the empire accused me of occupying cotton resources and hindering their production of cotton cloth for the imperial army. They tried every means to block the resources and deny them to me. I had no choice but to close two companies, the dispatched army headquarters and
Even the Thirteenth Army Headquarters knows it, but it still can't be solved," Chen Mingxiang said.
"Cotton smuggling activities are rampant in Jiangsu Province. The root cause is Li Shiqun. The price of cotton in Chiang Kai-shek's district is getting higher and higher. He secretly uses the special channels of the Southeast Trading Company to smuggle large quantities of cotton to businessmen in Chiang Kai-shek's district. Inside the Mei agency
It has been reported, this bastard doesn’t know how to take care of his own people," Nakajima Shinichi said.
"Li Shiqun was afraid that by selling cotton to me, he would make less money. Even if I gave him so many benefits in terms of salt, I would close two factories and he wouldn't even dare to fart. I would suffer a big loss!
"
"But he is the chairman of Jiangsu Province and holds real power. He also holds the power of the Qingxiang Committee. What can I do against him?" Chen Mingxiang said.
The reason why Chen Mingxiang said this is because he wanted to hear the true attitude of the Mei Agency towards Li Shiqun from Nakajima Shinichi, so that he could know where the problem lies so that he can prescribe the right remedy. Shibayama Kenshiro has not made any movement until now, which is obviously not in line with common sense.
.
"General Chaishan has been severely reprimanded by the base camp because of the setback in the implementation of cotton cloth registration by the Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Shanghai. The current situation is a bit troublesome. The empire has massively expanded its army and the demand for cotton cloth has skyrocketed. Cotton has become an important military material.
.”
"Su Province, as an important cotton-producing area, has received great attention from the Mei government. In view of the infringement of Li Shiqun's behavior on the interests of the empire, General Chaishan warned Li Shiqun and prohibited him from doing cotton business again, but I guess he will not
I will listen." Nakajima Shinichi said.
Li Shiqun has never been the obedient type, and his courage exceeds his ability to resist risks. Faced with the rising cotton prices, it is strange that he is not tempted. He must be doing one thing on the surface and another behind the scenes.
"Li Shiqun's existence is the biggest scourge of the Jinling government and a destabilizing factor in central China. I have always opposed his appointment as secretary-general of the Qingxiang Committee and chairman of Suzhou Province. It is a pity that General Yingzuo of the Mei Agency did not listen and buried the ground for the current turmoil.
Hidden danger."
"Objectively speaking, the Qingxiang campaign was quite effective. It caused great damage to the underground party base areas in Jiangsu Province, consolidated the rule of the Jinling government, and strengthened the control of materials and food. However, such an organization is in the hands of Li Shiqun.
It has become a tool for his personal gain!"
"The rural clearance activities in Shanghai were carried out smoothly without the participation of the rural clearance committee. There is no need to set up a headquarters for this kind of work, just set up a guidance organization. I mentioned this suggestion to General Chaishan, and he
I also think this is in line with the interests of the empire." Major Okamura said.
He has never had a good impression of Li Shiqun, which is also well-known in Shanghai. He thinks that it would be more suitable for Li Shiqun to serve only as the director of the secret service headquarters. He has the ability and talent in this area, and he has indeed made a great contribution to the destruction of the first district of Shanghai under military rule.
.
But this guy comes from a humble background, has no high-level experience, and lacks actual work experience. He is not even as good as Ding Mo Village in mastering the administrative affairs of a province and mastering an important job in the entire Central China region.
