Within the Military Command Bureau, Chen Mingxiang's file was sealed by Boss Dai himself, and except for three people, no one knew his identity, which eliminated the possibility of leaking secrets.

Even if there is danger of falling into a trap, he can resolutely deny it, the Japanese puppet cannot verify his information, and there is only one situation that can find out about him, unless Wang Zhen has betrayed.

But Chen Mingxiang's identity in the Military Command Bureau is a strategic agent and a type A station chief, and time also reflects his value, but what about the underground party? By now, you might think he's a progressive, right?

It's not that he wants to be an official, but his own professional habits, or rather, he is more influenced by the Military Command Bureau, and he is too sensitive to such things as leaking secrets.

And Zheng Tonghui also understood what Chen Mingxiang meant, he very much wanted to join the underground party organization, but by no means now, because the environment around him was too complicated, and it was best not to have direct contact.

In fact, Zheng Tonghui didn't think of the threat around Chen Mingxiang, he knew that Chen Mingxiang had close contacts with the Military Control Bureau, but he didn't know that Chen Mingxiang was the local real power faction of the Military Control Bureau, the stationmaster of the A station!

At the end of the month, on March 31, the Executive Yuan of Wang's puppet government issued a document dismissing Zhao Zunyue from his post as secretary general of the municipal government, who should be appointed vice minister of the Ministry of Railways, and appointing Wu Songwei as secretary general of the Shanghai special city government and temporarily acting as mayor.

Chen Gongbo did not return, and Chen Mingxiang, the administrative supervisor of the municipal government, presided over the handover ceremony, as well as the farewell ceremony and welcome ceremony in the evening.

He didn't get up until noon because he drank a little too much, and at last night's drinking party, a large group of city officials rushed to toast him, reflecting the true meaning of the four words "hot".

"Ono-kun, why did you come here without making a sound?" Chen Mingxiang had just finished lunch and was taking a walk outside, when he noticed that the car of the Marine Corps Headquarters stationed in Shanghai had arrived.

Ono Osa, Shimada Nakasa, and Nakajima Osa, their faces were very ugly, Chen Mingxiang knew that this was a major incident on the part of the navy, but the U.S. Navy wanted to attack the Mariana Islands, and it didn't win so quickly, right?

"Chen Jun, a very bad news, the commander of the Imperial Navy's Combined Fleet, Admiral Furukawa, yesterday morning, and the chief of staff, Vice Admiral Furufan, encountered a storm when they were flying to the Philippines, and the transport plane on which His Excellency was traveling was unfortunately killed, and Vice Admiral Furufan's plane was forced to land, which can be regarded as surviving." Ono Osa said discouragedly.

It turned out that Admiral Furukawamine was going to move the headquarters of the Combined Fleet from the battleship Musashi to Filubin, because the battleship was torpedoed by an American submarine in Palau and had to return to Japan for repairs, losing its ability to serve as a flagship.

At 9 a.m. on 31 March, they set off from Palau Island in the Caroline Islands on two four-engine seaplanes made in the western Sichuan region.

On 18 April last year, General Yamamoto was killed when his plane was attacked by the US Air Force, and on 31 March this year, his plane crashed in a storm and died.

"This is indeed bad news, I have also met the first general of Furukawafeng, and I still remember his impression vividly, I didn't expect that in a year, he encountered such a disaster, who will take over the position of commander?" Chen Mingxiang asked.

In fact, he had heard before that although Koga Mineichi was a naval admiral, he could basically be on an equal footing with Admiral Yamamoto Fifty-six in terms of qualifications, but his resume was not very brilliant.

He had no experience in actual combat during his long tenure in the office, especially when he was the commander of the Japanese Navy's Huaxia Fleet and the Yokosuka Castle Guard.

Although he has the ability, he is not qualified to be the commander of the Combined Fleet, he has no experience, no achievements, and no dealings with the Combined Fleet, which is a typical three-no product.

However, the Japanese Navy is a very peculiar existence, and the phenomenon of seniority is very serious, and General Yamamoto 56 of the 32nd Naval School of Etajima Naval School has died, and the seniors who graduated in front of him cannot be appointed commanders of the Combined Fleet, but can only be selected from the juniors behind him.

In addition, there are hard indicators, and only those who have served as commanders of the Second Fleet, commanders of Yokosuka and Kure Shofu, deputy directors of the military command department, and vice ministers of the navy are eligible.

Furukawa Mineichi was a naval admiral who had served as the deputy chief of the military command department, the commander of the Second Fleet, and the commander of the Yokosuka town guard, so he had no problem with his qualifications.

At that time, the most suitable candidate, Vice Admiral Toyoda, had a serious antagonism with the Army, and he had just served as a military senator, so it fell on him.

"It was Vice Admiral Toyoda who was appointed commander of the Combined Fleet, and he was currently the best candidate, but he is now the commander of the Yokosuka Castle and will not take office until May, and the Navy rules prohibit transfers for less than a year." Ono said.

It was actually Vice Takeshi Toyota who was the commander of the Combined Fleet!

Chen Mingxiang had heard of this person for a long time, because he had compiled a dictionary of scolding the army, which could be described as extreme to a certain extent.

In fact, this matter is not so simple, Vice Takeshi Toyoda did not want to be the commander of this combined fleet, because after the death of Yamamoto fifty-six, he was the most qualified to take over, but he was vetoed, as the senior of the thirty-third phase of the naval school, let Furukawa Fengichi of the thirty-fourth phase of the naval school be the commander of the combined fleet, he was angry in his heart.

However, Shigetaro Shimada, the Minister of the Navy and the Chief of the Military Command Department, has no better choice now, so he said that this was the decision of Admiral Fushimi Miyahiro Kyoko, and it was appropriate and inappropriate.

Deputy Toyoda was still unwilling, so he proposed that Nagumo Tadaichi be the commander of the Combined Fleet, and Shigetaro Shimada said that Nagumo Tadaichi was in the 36th term, and that he was not qualified enough to be a commander, so there was really no way, and Toyoda's deputy took up the post of commander.

The situation has not deteriorated to the bottom line, and Chen Mingxiang feels that the actions of the Japanese Navy seem to reveal a message, that is, the US Navy has not launched an attack on the Mariana Islands.

"How is the U.S. Navy moving now, there is no attack on the absolute defensive circle of the Empire, right?" Chen Mingxiang asked.

"That hasn't been discovered yet, but it's a matter of time, and the U.S. Navy's submarine forces are in large numbers in the waters around the Mariana Islands, attacking the Empire's transport ships and warships, and it becomes very difficult to replenish ammunition and supplies." Ono said.
