Taking advantage of the opportunity for the Japanese 11th Army to stay on the front line of Lishui and wait for the opportunity to negotiate with the General Headquarters of the Dispatch Army, the intelligence group of the Mei organ fabricated a so-called plan of action for the second attack on Wuling, wanting to catch Chen Mingxiang, a big fish.

Chen Mingxiang and many high-level leaders of the Mei agency are familiar with each other, and there are gifts and red envelopes during the New Year's holidays, but this definitely does not include Shibayama Kaneshiro and Kitazawa Ping, as well as the entire intelligence group.

After being calculated, he has to give gifts, which is also a shame for Chen Mingxiang, he is not without temper, in the absence of evidence, even if it is Shibayama Kanshiro, there is no way to take Chen Mingxiang.

"Your Excellency, can you remove Chen Mingxiang from his post as chief of police and replace him with someone else? He is now in charge of the police system in central China, and the intelligence team has not been able to move the police station at all, which is always a problem for our work. Kitazawa made his own suggestion.

Both the Mei organ and the gendarmerie are vying for control of the police system, and Chen Mingxiang naturally wants to favor the gendarmerie, so when the Mei organ is doing things, the police department does not work very hard, and the intelligence group has only that little manpower, which also restricts the work.

"Pure, do you think I, the head of the agency, can do everything in one word? The promotion of Chen Mingxiang to the post of chief of police was a decision made by Chief of General Staff Matsui Taikuro when he was the head of the agency at that time, and I removed him from his post. ”

"Besides, what reason do I have to remove Chen Mingxiang from his position? Will Daisa Saito, who is in charge of police affairs, agree? Will the gendarmerie command promise? Will the command of the 13th Army agree? Will the General Command of the Dispatch Army agree? Will the Consulate General in Shanghai agree? I haven't even said anything about the Navy! ”

"The struggle requires strategy, you have to look at the environment you are in, and you also have to look at the priorities, I am still quite satisfied with this operation you have done, and in the future, focus on the major affairs of the empire, don't let Chen Mingxiang's problems blind your eyes." Shibayama Kaneshiro said sternly.

He felt very disappointed in Bei Zeping, his thinking is like a tendon, he doesn't know how to be flexible and he doesn't know flexibility, the director of the intelligence group is the chief officer in charge of the operation of the intelligence department of the entire Mei organ, and he didn't let you be Chen Mingxiang is the head of the special task force of the agents of the Military Command Bureau!

Sure enough, after Chen Mingxiang started to engage in condolence activities, the intelligence team of the Mei organ didn't catch any fart, and people directly ignored it.

This year's New Year's Day condolences and condolences were a little less than last year's, but the Japanese army was still very satisfied, and it was already very commendable that Huatong Trading Company could come up with so much under the condition that the efficiency was not very good.

Ordinary soldiers of the gendarmerie and marines were each given one pound of sake, two boxes of cigarettes, and half a pound of tea, and the officers of the rank of lieutenant were given two hundred yen in red envelopes, two pounds of sake, ten boxes of cigarettes, and one pound of tea.

For junior officers, there were 2,000 yen in red envelopes, two bottles of red wine, five barrels of cigarettes, and two catties of tea, and the good relationship was still in US dollars, as well as small gold bars engraved with gifts from the Huatong Trading Company.

Ordinary generals are $3,000 in red envelopes, a box of red wine, a box of cigars and three catties of tea, and the good relationship is a $10,000 red envelope, and at the same time, there is a large gold bar as a souvenir.

In addition, ordinary gendarmes in the gendarmerie receive a condolence payment of 100 yen per person, don't underestimate this money, this is two months' salary!

"Thank you generals for coming to the airport to pick me up, to be honest, the weather outside the customs is really a little unbearable, I will add a windbreaker at most in Shanghai, but here, as soon as I get off the plane, I feel like I want to wear a coat." Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.

This is to take the plane of the Kwantung Army to pick him up and go to Xinjing outside the customs to give gifts and money, of course, his purpose is definitely not like this, but to spy on the movements of the Kwantung Army.

Next year, the Japanese army will launch a strategic offensive against the national control area, which has been confirmed through many channels, and the powerful Kwantung Army may also participate in this plan, and the insufficient strength of the dispatched army is also a potential hidden danger.

The lineup for the pick-up was still the old faces, Major General Kato Hajiro, commander of the military police of the Kwantung Army, Major General Saburo Shibuya, deputy director of the puppet Manchukuo Ministry of Public Security, Major General Yoshitake Furuno, manager of the General Headquarters of the Kwantung Army, and Kodai Takeda, chief of the Second Staff Division of the General Headquarters.

"It's okay, we've started heating in Xinjing, your home is very warm, don't worry about the cold and unbearable, Chen Jun, I haven't been here for a long time, we have to have a few more drinks tonight." Major General Yoshitake Furuno said with a smile.

They all know Chen Mingxiang's "intention", and they must be very enthusiastic, since the God of Wealth has come to the door, of course they must be entertained well.

A group of people sat in a car and soon came to Chen Mingxiang's house in Xinjing, while the two sisters, Akiko Takada and Mitsuko Takata, had been standing outside the gate and waiting, looking a little blue and not knowing how long they had stayed.

But to be honest, they are still relatively happy, when Chen Mingxiang is not there, this house is used by them, a salary equivalent to 200 yen per month in pseudo-Manchukuo currency, you can buy two sets of new clothes every month to be reimbursed, receive two catties of Jiangnan Longjing tea and a silk, such treatment is really not low.

The room was really warm, and the bodyguards carried their things into the house, and very consciously went outside, handed cigarettes to the Japanese military policemen who were also standing guard, and then braved the cold to wander around, which was their job.

"The annual trade volume of the Huatong Trading Company and the General Headquarters of the Kwantung Army, all the generals know, to be honest, there is not much profit to be made, especially the trade of cotton yarn and cotton cloth, which has shrunk by three-quarters, but as a friend of everyone, I came to Xinjing this time and brought some New Year's gifts, please don't dislike it." Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.

The gift is naturally one per person, a red envelope of five thousand dollars per person plus two large yellow croaker, and the people present are very satisfied, and they also have dividends in the transaction, which is considered an additional income.

"It's not that the General Headquarters of our Kwantung Army doesn't want to expand the volume of trade, the key is that the demand for materials in the local area has intensified, and a large amount of cotton yarn has been siphoned off from Manchukuo, resulting in a lack of goods for trading."

"Since September this year, the General Headquarters of the Kwantung Army has been facing military transfers, and on 30 October, the headquarters of the Second Front Army of General Anami Yuji of Hecheng was transferred to the island of Halmahera south of Filipinobin, and the headquarters of the Second Army of Lieutenant General Toshima Botaro in the Yanji region was transferred to Manokari in western New Guinea."

"There are too many things in the General Headquarters of the Kwantung Army, and I can't take care of the logistics for the time being, and I'm not too nervous, but you can rest assured that the General Headquarters of the Kwantung Army will have a new batch of orders for you next year." Koshiwu Furuno said with a smile.
