"You went to the Marine Corps headquarters tonight for a cocktail party, and you seem to be in a good mood, did you receive any good news?" Wang Zhen asked with a smile.

This evening, the Marine Corps Command held an internal farewell reception for former commander, Lieutenant General Kakuzaburo Makita, and specially invited "old friend" Chen Mingxiang to attend.

The Marine Corps Command is an important force of the Navy in Shanghai, and it is also involved in the Navy's material procurement, and with the help of this opportunity, the new and old commanders need to hand over the relationship between Chen Mingxiang, and the key is that great interests are involved.

Relying on the strategic materials provided by Huatong Trading Company or Chen Mingxiang for the Navy, these senior generals or adjutants of the Marine Corps Command are definitely well-paid, and this collective interest must be maintained and continued by the new commanders.

"I have a hunch that this criminal war will be completely over in two or three years or at most four or five years, and Japan itself can no longer afford the attrition of the war. The new commander, Major General Ichiro Ohno, talked a lot about the situation in Japan this evening, and even the military generals were not very optimistic about the development of the war. ”

"Since the United States ended the battle of Kuah Island, it has not taken large-scale military action, and the war situation has become a little confusing, and according to the current military intelligence, the US Navy is assembling and mobilizing, indicating that a new round of battles will soon break out."

"The situation of the Japanese Navy is very unfavorable, and the key is that there are irreparable defects in the domestic industrial strength compared with the old capitalist countries like the United States, and this year alone, the US Navy has more than a dozen aircraft carriers in service, including small aircraft carriers and main aircraft carriers."

"However, due to the impact of the long-term war, Japan's domestic resources are scarce, and all kinds of raw materials are scarce, and the lost aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft cannot be replenished in time, not to mention the crew and carrier-based aircraft pilots, which cannot be cultivated overnight."

"If the U.S. team continues to attack Japan, it will exacerbate this disadvantage, and eventually it will drag down Japan's war potential, and when its own resources are exhausted, the war will be over." Chen Mingxiang said.

Vice Admiral Kakuzaburo Makita introduced him to the new commander, Rear Admiral Ichiro Ohno, this evening, and had a long talk.

In view of the "close" relationship between Chen Mingxiang and the Marine Corps, Ichiro Ohno did not have any scruples in speaking, let alone sing a high-profile voice, and what he said was the truth when it did not involve the issue of military secrets.

The strength of the fleet command on the Chinese side has been greatly reduced due to repeated naval defeats, and decent warships have been transferred back to China to participate in the defense of the homeland, but there has been no change in the marines.

Rear Admiral Ichiro Ohno will continue his previous mission, in addition to working with the army to protect Japan's interests in Shanghai, and in addition to purchasing large quantities of supplies for the navy, in which case money is not the most important thing.

When it was almost noon the next day, the intelligence of the Political Security Bureau reached Chen Mingxiang's ears, and the Investigation Section and Intelligence Section of the First Bureau had people from the original Shanghai Experimental Zone Action Brigade and the Guard Brigade, and Zhang Jinlu was very familiar with them.

"Director, the people of the first bureau in the early hours of this morning raided the small village located in the southeast corner of Yancang Town, which is the station of the first brigade of the Zhongyi Pudong Rescue Operation Corps. After a fierce battle, six were captured alive in the first game, four were seriously wounded, and sixteen were killed, including the lieutenant colonel captain and the inspector, only the deputy captain was evacuated with some documents, and the radio station was also captured. Zhang Jinlu reported.

"Wan Lilang's enmity with the Military Command Bureau this time, it is estimated that it will not be resolved, such a heavy loss, Zhongyi will kill him if he saves the madness, I will go to the headquarters of the military police and talk to the head of the Gangcun section about this matter, presumably Wan Lilang has already reported to the Mei organ." Chen Mingxiang said.

Loyalty, righteousness and salvation is the armed special forces of the Military Command Bureau, and their performance during the Anti-Japanese War is still remarkable, especially in these units in Shanghai, many times the Japanese puppet army has not broken their will, and they have always insisted on fighting.

The brigade headquarters was attacked by surprise and the captains of the brigade were killed in battle, which was equivalent to paralyzing the command system, which would seriously affect the combat effectiveness of the brigade.

"When I came just now, I met Luo Mengxiang, the deputy director of the first bureau, in the parking lot, saying that Wan Lilang had an urgent matter to go to Hangzhou, and he asked me to convey it, hoping to visit you, I feel that he and Wan Lilang are not the same style of doing things, I don't know what you mean?" Zhang Jinlu asked.

"Hmph, it should be said that Luo Mengxiang is smarter than Wan Lilang, you tell him that now is the time for the Political Security Bureau to make contributions, what can be conveyed by you, and when the situation is stable, there is time to meet!" Chen Mingxiang said.

After listening to Chen Mingxiang's introduction in the office, Gangcun Shizo's already gloomy face turned iron blue in an instant, and he ignored the Political Security Bureau a little, but he didn't expect Wanlilang to act so fast, and the institutions in various places had not yet been formed, so he began to eagerly prove himself.

With regard to the Political Security Bureau's crackdown on the forces of the Military Command Bureau in Shanghai, Okamura Shizo certainly does not oppose it, and this is also a great guarantee for Japan's interests in Shanghai, which is a very good thing and should be supported.

But the bad thing is that the results of the Political Security Bureau and the incompetence of the special high school have caused a strong contrast to the top of the Japanese army, why did the National Political Security Bureau have such achievements just after its establishment, and the special high school is in Shanghai, but there are no bright spots, and the first to bear the brunt is naturally him as the head of the special high school.

"Chen Jun, you did a good job, you were able to get the inside information and report to me in the shortest possible time about what happened in Shanghai, which also avoided my passivity to a certain extent, these news were known by the general, I didn't understand anything, this is an unforgivable mistake!"

"The secret radio station of the Military Command Bureau was raided in the early hours of yesterday morning, and the team headquarters of the First Brigade under the Zhongyi Rescue Pudong Action Corps was arrested in the early hours of this morning.

"But this bastard didn't make any report to me, he thought he had the backing of the Mei Agency, so he ignored the authority of the Imperial Army gendarmerie!" Gangmura Shizo gritted his teeth and said.

At this moment, the phone on his desk rang, and it was Kinoshita Eiichi calling, asking him to go to the commander's office immediately.

Kinoshita Sakae's face was also cloudy, and Shibayama Kaneshiro just now introduced the two actions of the Political Security Bureau in Shanghai at the meeting of the Mei Agency, and greatly praised Wanlilang's ability, believing that the Mei Organ did not see the wrong person, and also suggested to the Jinling government to ask for credit for Wanlilang and the Political Security Bureau!

As soon as the meeting ended, people from the military police department in Mei called Kinoshita Sakae and gave a detailed account of Wan Lilang's actions in Shanghai.

It is estimated that this is also the original intention of Shibayama Kaneshiro, to use such an opportunity to slap the gendarmerie in the face, and in this regard, he, as a commander, is very dissatisfied with the work of the special high school.
