Nine hundred and seventieth chapters dig a small pit eight
"The Qingxiang Committee was Li Shiqun's first important position after leaving Shanghai. It was also the basis for him to become the chairman of Jiangsu Province, and it was an important means for him to control Jiangsu Province. It was revoked this time, which was indeed a big blow to him.
, a special telegram was sent to me for this purpose, but this was the decision of Mei’s agency, without consulting the North China Front Army Headquarters, and there was nothing I could do about it.”
"Chen Jun's feeling is right. Li Shiqun was scared, and he was scared to death. According to his character, he did some crazy actions. I am not surprised at all. We let him leave early in a few years.
After more than ten years of travel, I really don’t know how to comment on this situation!" Qingqi Qingyin said.
There is no need to avoid topics like this. Shibayama Kenshiro wants to deal with Li Shiqun's thoughts. This is called Sima Zhao's intention. Everyone knows it, and everyone present understands it.
Dismantling the Qingxiang Committee and cutting off one of Li Shiqun's arms is the first step. The next step is to remove him from the position of chairman of Jiangsu Province. This is the second step. After these two steps, Li Shiqun has no trace.
The ability to resist.
"How difficult can it be to deal with Li Shiqun? A head of a secret service with no foundation, why should he put so much thought into it? Shibayama Kenshiro is also known as decisive in killing. If it were me, I would put Li Shiqun under house arrest directly. There is no leader in everything outside.
The matter was resolved in just a few days!”
"It's good that he actually abolished his subordinate organization, the Qingxiang Committee. I know that he still wants to compete with me and must overthrow all the arrangements I made during the Mei Agency."
"But the problem is that what Shibayama Kenshiro touched was not just one force. The Qingxiang Committee was composed of the dispatched army headquarters, the Mei Agency, the Thirteenth Army Headquarters and various departments of the Jinling government. Let me put it this way, he
I won’t be able to stay in the position of agency director for long.”
"I was dragged down by the Jinling government and left the Mei Agency. It would be even worse for him. This group of people in the Jinling government cannot play with their IQ." Yingzuo Zhenzhao said with some contempt.
Kenshiro Shibayama and him had always been at odds with each other, and they were naturally opposed to the things he did. However, in the eyes of Kage Sasaki, this was tantamount to digging a hole for himself.
General Hata Toshiroku, commander-in-chief of the dispatched force, once inspected the rural clearing work in Jiangsu Province. He praised Li Shiqun's performance and highly affirmed the correctness and necessity of this work.
As for Shibayama Kenshiro's decision to abolish the Kiyosato Committee, the army boss said nothing, but he was inevitably a little emotional in his heart. I am praising you from the front, but you are trying to undermine me from behind. Do you still take me seriously?
Once you become bored with someone, you will never like it no matter what the other person does. Kenshiro Shibayama probably didn't see through this, and he also posed a hidden danger for himself to be adjusted.
Moreover, the Qingxiang Committee involved many interests. Not only did the consultants of the Mei Agency gain a lot from the Qingxiang work, but the Thirteenth Army Headquarters, which was responsible for the military operations, also received generous rewards.
The same is true for local officials in Jiangsu Province, including Japanese businessmen, who also benefited from the material blockade. All this formed a huge chain of interests.
Why among the four major intelligence agencies, only Kage Sasaki was benefited in the end? This has a lot to do with his own strategic vision and strategy. In other words, Kage Sasaki sees deeper than Shibayama Kenshiro and also sees
further.
No one knows the morality of the people in the Jinling government better than Kage Sasaki. Although the headquarters is not satisfied with the current situation, he himself knows that Shibayama Kenshiro will only bring more disappointment to the empire.
"I just received a call from Chief of Staff Matsui Tataro, saying that your agency received a report from an imperial citizen. Chen Mingxiang's Fenghua Company secretly colluded with speculators to hoard money when there was a large-scale food shortage in the Shanghai stock market.
Rice intends to make huge profits, and the General Headquarters wants our Army Department in Shanghai to investigate the matter." Major General Nagatsu Sahige asked.
Nagatsu Sahishige is the deputy chief of staff of the Expeditionary Force and the director of the Army Department in Shanghai. He is responsible for coordinating the military agencies and troops under the Expeditionary Force, as well as material procurement in Shanghai and other matters.
"Yongjin-kun, it is indeed like this. The hoarded rice is in the No. 2 warehouse of Huatong Trading Company. The quantity is as much as 30,000 tons. This is the photo taken." Kenshiro Shibayama took out the photo and said.
Since it was the Ume Agency that complained to the headquarters, Matsui Tataro asked Shibayama Kenshiro to go to Shanghai to participate in handling the matter after consulting Hata Shuroku.
"Your Excellency, General, who discovered this information? I don't think ordinary citizens of the Empire actually sneaked into the warehouse to take photos, and cameras are not easily available. This must be the work of an Imperial agent." Yongjin.
Saubichong said.
He still had some words that he could not say. Chief of Staff Matsui Tataro believed that this was the Mei agency looking for trouble. The food shortage problem in Shanghai had been solved, and it was Chen Mingxiang who personally operated it. For this, he obtained the support from the Consulate General in Shanghai and the 13th CPC Central Committee.
Highly appreciated by the military headquarters.
The intelligence team of the Mei Agency has always been at odds with Chen Mingxiang. This incident may be an internal dispute, suggesting that he can be dealt with lightly. Of course, this is also the intention of the Commander-in-Chief.
Shunroku Hata had a very good impression of Chen Mingxiang. He had made remarkable achievements in smuggling strategic materials for the dispatched troops over the years. He was a meritorious figure who had been commended by His Majesty the Emperor for his hard work. Although he did something a little too much, it was not incomprehensible.
"It was the citizens of the empire who discovered Chen Mingxiang's convoy transporting grain in large quantities at night, and then reported it to the intelligence team of our Mei agency. The intelligence director, Lieutenant Colonel Kitazawa Ping, sent people to the field to investigate and collect evidence, and that's how we got these photos." Kane Shibayama
Shiro said that there was no need for him to hide anything.
"Okay, I'll call the relevant departments right away. We'll go to the No. 2 warehouse later and clarify the matter in front of Chen Mingxiang." Nagatsu Sahige said.
After eating at Mara Villa, Yingzuo Zhenzhao was about to leave Shanghai. Chen Mingxiang gave him ten pounds of bamboo leaf green tea, two large boxes of imported cigars and two boxes of red wine. He also prepared two boxes of cigarettes specially provided by the Military Police.
There are also herbs to prevent and treat mosquito bites, such as tiger balm, and even beautifully crafted mosquito nets and cotton sheets.
Everyone present was touched by Chen Mingxiang's attentiveness, which was so thoughtful. When we arrived at the Rabaul Fortress, dollar gold bars were useless, not even as good as a bottle of tiger balm. The temperature there was as hot as a steamer, and these were given as gifts.
Everything has practical value.
Although Kage Sasaki didn't express it clearly, he gave Chen Mingxiang a precious samurai sword in return. This was not a command sword issued by the Japanese army, but belonged to his personal collection, which shows that he was very grateful in his heart.
