Nine hundred and seventieth chapters dig a small pit five
Both sides are using this incident to set up traps to tarnish the other's image, or in other words, to tarnish the other's impression in the minds of major institutions in Shanghai and shake the other's foundation for survival.
The work of intelligence agencies has always been rigorous. This does not mean that agents cannot make mistakes. In fact, everyone will make mistakes. The key is not to make low-level mistakes.
It is not difficult to verify things like this. Even if Kitazaping doesn't do other work, as long as he sends people to keep an eye on the warehouse, he will know the whereabouts of this batch of grain sooner or later, but the premise is that he must have enough
patience.
"Ono-kun, I ask you to do me a favor and send someone to keep an eye on Kitazawaira's whereabouts. This guy seems to be eyeing Warehouse No. 2. Since the rice was put into the warehouse, the guard reported to me that there are some
Suspicious people are active."
"Calculating the entire Shanghai stock market intelligence circle, there are not many forces that can pay such attention to me. After thinking about it, I am afraid that the only one who can do this is the intelligence director of the Mei Agency." Chen Mingxiang said.
Mei's agency intelligence group was based in the Japanese-occupied area of Hongkou, which was a bit troublesome to monitor, and this was the territory of the Marine Corps. It would be a waste not to borrow the power of the intelligence department of the headquarters, so he asked Lieutenant Commander Ono.
help.
"This is also my duty. Immediately arrange for personnel to keep an eye on the Mei Agency's intelligence team. If there is any news, call your home number directly and ask your wife to inform you."
"Kita Zeping didn't know that this batch of rice was purchased by the navy. He probably thought you were hoarding rice to make huge profits. This is interesting. It would be even more exciting if he complained to the headquarters of the dispatched army!" Lieutenant Colonel Ono
Said with a smile.
There is basically no cooperation between the intelligence department of the navy and the intelligence department of the army. The contradiction between the two sides is very deep. In addition, Chen Mingxiang has just solved a big problem for the navy. They are good friends and there are interests reasons. Ono
Lieutenant Colonel really wanted Kitazawa to be unlucky.
Although it is unlikely that he took the initiative to set a trap for Kitazapira, but he took the initiative to run into it, which is another way of saying it. This is called willing to take the bait.
"Section Chief, the inspector said that the intelligence team of the Mei Agency was going to send people to Warehouse No. 2, and they actually came. They dared to come in broad daylight. They are quite courageous. Looking at the situation, they probably fell into a trap and were captured.
The inspector's plan leads us by the nose." A clerk said with a smile.
"Nonsense, look at the security measures in this warehouse. There are not even dogs. There are two people smoking and chatting standing at the door. Everyone inside is playing poker in the room. If they don't dare to come, wouldn't it be a joke?"
"Don't comment behind the back on things in the station. In this profession, the first thing is to be strict with your mouth. Do you know that trouble comes from your mouth? Your boy is also the team leader now. He will soon be promoted to the rank of major. There are still twenty people under his command.
A few newbies should pay attention to their words and deeds in front of their subordinates." Zhou Guojun said in a low voice.
About two hours later, the Japanese agents from the Mei Agency's intelligence team brought back the film taken from the warehouse, which was quickly developed and sent to Kitazawa Ping's office.
The photo was very clear and taken from multiple angles, perfectly reflecting the situation of the entire warehouse. The three large warehouses were all filled with grain, packed in hemp, and almost piled up to the roof.
Japanese agents opened more than a dozen sacks in each warehouse, and they were all filled with white rice. This also proved that the piles of sacks in the three warehouses were indeed 30,000 tons of rice.
"Chen Mingxiang has such strong financial resources. Just to hoard these grains, he will need 1.2 billion China Reserve Bonds. Even if he uses some means, it will cost at least 1 billion. It is estimated that he has made money from smuggling in purchasing strategic materials for the empire over the years.
Great benefit.”
"You are really greedy. The more you make money, the less money you have. If you have a life to earn, you have to have a life to spend it! I will go to Jinling to see General Chaishan right away. With these as evidence, Chen Mingxiang is doing whatever he wants regardless of the interests of the empire.
The crime of hoarding food is now firmly established," Kitazawa said.
When he received the news, Chen Mingxiang was inspecting the examination situation at the university. The entrance examination for the Shanghai Higher Police School of the Department of Police Affairs was being held here nervously. In order to show the importance he attached to the police school, he specially came to sit in his uniform.
Colonel Saito and four advisers who arrived from Jinling, plus Kiyoshi Tsukamoto and Mikizo Okamura of the Military Police, and the three deputy directors of the Police Department, can be said to have a relatively strong lineup.
The entire university was full of police and military police. Although the students were not driven away, they were ordered to stay in the dormitories and were not allowed to go out. In fact, there were not many students.
Calling it an inspection, it means nothing more than finding a place to set up tables and chairs, and a group of officials sitting down to drink tea and chat, but this form must be followed.
"Chen Jun, is there anything important?" Colonel Saito asked curiously when he saw Chen Mingxiang's bodyguard hurriedly approaching him and whispering.
"It's nothing. Someone from the Intelligence Office of the Marine Corps Command just now saw Bei Zeping secretly taking a train to Jinling. Considering that he and I have always had conflicts, they wanted to send me a message by the way." Chen Mingxiang said.
It was not a secret in the Mei Agency that Bei Zeping was looking for trouble for himself when he first came to Shanghai. He said it openly and openly, which made him look magnanimous.
Moreover, he had many connections in the Japanese military intelligence agencies. Once the intelligence was presented, no one would doubt that he was actually monitoring the operations of the entire Mei agency intelligence team.
"It seems like there must be some more important work, and I need to report to Director Shibayama in person. This guy is very ambitious. I must be very disappointed that he failed to become a consultant at the police academy. Maybe even I hate it so much that my teeth ache.
.”
"Your Majesty the General asked me to tell you that he will leave the Kwantung Army on the 2nd of next month and go to Rabaul Fortress to serve as the division commander of the 38th Division of the Eighth Front Army. If it is convenient, the plane he is traveling on will
Landed in Shanghai, but the stay will not be too long."
"The general's visit this time is confidential. He will meet us old subordinates after having a meal and then leave. Qingqi Qingyin will also come over. The general will designate a place for you to arrange the meeting. Make preparations in advance, but do not spread this matter to anyone, especially
You can't tell Li Shiqun," Colonel Saito said.
The 2nd of next month is the day after tomorrow. There is no time left, but the main point that Chen Mingxiang is concerned about is that Yingzuo Zhenzhao left the Kwantung Army and went to the distant Rabaul. Is there any mystery in this? Could it be that the Battle of Guadalcanal failed?
Under such circumstances, will the Japanese army launch a new campaign in the south?
But the problem is, judging from various circumstances, the Japanese army does not have such capabilities at all. The air and sea there are already controlled by the US military, and Rabaul is almost isolated. What is going to happen?
