Due to the unfavorable fighting in the southern Pacific Ocean, the Japanese army headquarters began to send troops of the Kwantung Army to Southeast Asia to garrison them, in an attempt to use defensive tactics to make a final struggle.

"The military headquarters and the general headquarters of the dispatch army have given me the task of purchasing combat materials, and it is said that next year, the base camp plans to carry out a large-scale strategic offensive against the national control area of the Shancheng government."

"The subordinate units of the entire dispatch army also include the North China Front Army in North China, and most of the mobile forces will be dispatched to participate in the battle this time, and your Kwantung Army will also support the Kannai battlefield, right?" Chen Mingxiang asked.

He was not worried that his question would make the generals of the Kwantung Army feel that military intelligence was leaking, because the Huatong Trading Company was also part of this strategic offensive plan. In other words, he also had to serve the Japanese army in the war effort, and he had the right to know part of it beforehand.

"You are right, the base camp does have such a battle plan, and it is currently in the discussion stage, and it still needs to be reported to His Majesty the Emperor for approval, but this matter has become a foregone conclusion, under the instructions of Chief of Staff Hideki Tojo, the chief of operations of the Army General Staff Headquarters came to Shinkyo a few days ago to discuss with General Umezu Mijiro about the transfer of troops to Kannai."

"In order to strengthen the offensive strength of the dispatch army, the base camp decided that the 27th Division stationed in Jinzhou under the General Headquarters of the Kwantung Army will be transferred to Guannai to participate in the battle, and at the same time, three field artillery brigades, one field antiaircraft artillery brigade, one heavy artillery brigade, one mountain artillery wing, one combat vehicle wing, as well as several brigades of baggage and transport arms."

"What the military headquarters means is that in the future, a large number of troops of the Kwantung Army will be transferred to Southeast Asia or the mainland to participate in operations, and before they are transferred, the General Headquarters of the Kwantung Army must ensure that the combat materials of the transferred troops are sufficient and maintain complete combat effectiveness." Takeda said.

The number of a division plus two wings will reach 30,000, as well as a number of artillery brigades and an unknown number of logistical support units, adding up to nearly 40,000 people.

The Kwantung Army is not like the dispatch army in the Guannai, it has been in a state of combat for a long time, and has always commanded the puppet regime of Manchukuo, frantically plundering resources outside the Guan, and also to guard against the attack of the Soviet Union, so it belongs to the stage of recuperation.

Once the battle at the front is unfavorable, the base camp will naturally use this general army similar to a strategic reserve to support, and also hope to redeem the defeat through the pride of this imperial army.

Just this passage of Takeda Gong, Chen Mingxiang's purpose of making a special trip to Xinjing to give gifts this time was successfully achieved, in order to hear this content.

He already knew that the strategic offensive plan for the Kuomintang region was currently in the stage of implementation, otherwise he would not have finalized the troops to be supported by the Kwantung Army.

Things seem to be going well, but this is also an effect achieved by long-term contact and Chen Mingxiang's special identity.

Try it as another ordinary relation, even with gold and dollars, Takeda Gong will never tell military secrets, just kidding, will the secrecy of the Japanese army be so low?

"Chen Jun is a good friend of the Japanese Empire, and he is also a good friend of mine, you two should take good care of him, this is a task, understand?" Furuno Yoshitake, who was a little unsteady when he walked, said to Akiko Takada and Mitsuko Takada.

"Please rest assured, Your Excellency, we will definitely take care of Mr. Chen." Although Takada Akiko trembled in her heart, she still bowed respectfully and said.

The meal was eaten until late at night, and several Japanese generals who got red envelopes and gold bars took turns to fight with Chen Mingxiang.

Although Chen Mingxiang didn't know much about the puppet Manchukuo and the affairs outside the Guan, he knew about the things inside the Guan, such as the process of the 11th Army's attack on Wuling, such as some actions of the gendarmerie and intelligence agencies, especially the incident of poisoning Li Shiqun, and the reason for Wang Jingwei's surgery this time, etc., the generals of the Kwantung Army were also fascinated by it.

"It's New Year's Day in a few days, and it's also a very important holiday in Japan, so I've brought two sets of French cosmetics and two imported leather coats to your sisters from Shanghai, which is a New Year's gift for you, even in an international metropolis like Shanghai, it's a relatively high-end luxury."

"Mingzi, this is a red envelope of 5,000 yen, each of you takes 1,000 yuan, and the rest is given to the family for the New Year, these two gold bars are given to you by me alone, thank you for taking care of you, and thank you for watching this Xinjing residence for me." Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.

When he got up in the morning, the two sisters boiled rice porridge and bought him hot buns, and he was very satisfied with the cleaning of the house, and the Japanese women were still very diligent.

"Sir, you give too much, you usually give me such a high salary, we can't ask for your money anymore." Akiko Takada was taken aback.

What exactly is 5,000 yen? It is equivalent to the salary of a Japanese soldier for two years, and it is also equal to the salary of a Japanese military police officer at the rank of lieutenant for two years, which is indeed quite amazing.

Speaking of the two sisters' feelings about their current life, it is like heaven, with a high-end residence as a residence, the work is also easy, and they receive a high salary, those friends and fellow villagers in Xinjing, the eyes of envy of their fortune are red.

"I'm going to Bingcheng later, I'll fly directly to Beiping from there after finishing my errands, and I don't know when I come next time, you two sisters will open two salaries, it doesn't matter to me."

"Again, if you have any difficulties, go to the Xinjing branch to ask for help, I will greet them, not that I am reluctant to give you more money and things, but to consider your own safety." Chen Mingxiang said.

A master like Chen Mingxiang is estimated to be rare, he only stayed in Xinjing for one night at a time, but he gave so much money in vain, and from then on, this house was at their disposal.

But they don't understand in their hearts that this is Chen Mingxiang's attitude towards the Japanese army, as the saying goes, details determine success or failure, and the style of "looking down on the Japanese" also proves from the side that he is a "loyal follower" of Japan!

Chen Mingxiang will not do those meaningless things, he is always careful and vigilant, as much as possible to reduce the suspicion from the Japanese side, in order to make his work smooth, he has spent millions of dollars before and after, and he is still short of these three walnuts and two dates?
