Chapter 702: The Problem Is Complicated
"Kinoshita-kun, with Chen Jun's identity and ability to do things, is fully qualified to enter this coordinating body and take on more important work, why don't you see others when it's time for a meeting?" On the third day of the meeting, Saburo Shibuya arrived at the conference room and asked curiously.
Chen Mingxiang's hospitality was very satisfactory to everyone, and whenever they entered and exited the conference room, they could see Chen Mingxiang, but there were no people in the conference room, and a group of high-ranking Japanese military officials were puzzled by this matter.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Chen Jun is avoiding suspicion, he is a very smart person, he knows what he can and can't do, and he will try his best to complete the things he explains, but he has always hidden away from the affairs that are not his responsibility."
"After more contact, you will know that Chen Jun is a very reliable and reassuring excellent subordinate, and he will never be pampered and arrogant, and do things that make his boss embarrassed."
"He is in Shanghai, with the support of our empire's multi-party strength, there is no problem to walk sideways, but if you inquire about him, he always treats people like a spring breeze, from top to bottom, he does not say that he is good, and there is no out-of-the-ordinary behavior at all."
"Chen Jun's speech and demeanor have always been very measured, and he has always maintained a down-to-earth and cautious style of words and deeds, and I have never seen such an outstanding figure among young people of this age." Kinoshita Eichi said.
These evaluations came out of the mouth of the major general of the gendarmerie, and the weight was very heavy, and everyone had heard of Kinoshita Eichi's character, which was very famous in the gendarmerie system, and it was very difficult, and it was not easy for him to give such an appreciation.
Li Shiqun's eyes were red when he heard this, Chen Mingxiang went out to step on shit, Kinoshita Rongshi recommended him so hard.
As a general of the Japanese Army, he is responsible for what he says, and it is impossible for Kinoshita Eichi to raise Chen Mingxiang so high because of money, this is true.
"Chen Jun does have outstanding ability, His Excellency Akagi Qinzhi, who was unfortunately killed back then, is very rigorous, even to the point of being picky, and the generals of the empire rarely look at him, but he admires Chen Jun very much, and specially promoted him to be an assistant." Qingqi Qingyin said.
When it comes to Akagi kinyuki, everyone present knows that the barons and commissioners of the Empire of Japan, who came from a samurai family, were the best of the police in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
In the summer of the thirtieth year of the Republic of China, he was assassinated by agents of the military command, and his funeral was filmed by Japanese photographers from beginning to end, and then played as a news film in cinemas across the country for a full month.
Chen Mingxiang was appreciated by the Japanese aristocracy and promoted to his assistant, which was an important plus, and the Japanese high-ranking officials who were not familiar with Chen Mingxiang seemed to have a new understanding.
Akagi Qinzhi was Chen Mingxiang who planned the assassination, but he used him as an example to add luster to Chen Mingxiang's ability, which cannot but be said to be a kind of irony.
"Brother Mingxiang, it seems that you will be able to eat well in the Guanwai area and North China in the future, the attitude of these high-ranking Japanese military officers towards you is very affectionate, and when they heard that you were going to open a shop outside the Guanxi to do business, they almost patted their chests and said that they were going to cover you." When Li Shiqun was eating dinner, he said in a slightly sour tone.
Chen Mingxiang was only in charge of reception affairs, but those high-ranking Japanese military officials talked with him very happily, and their tone was very intimate, and they did not treat him as an outsider.
Chen Mingxiang said that his company had opened in Xinjing, Fengtian and Bingcheng, and the senior officials of the Japanese army warmly welcomed this, and said that he was asked to be responsible for providing Longjing tea and Biluo spring tea throughout the year.
Cigars, boxes of send, red wine, boxes of send, special cigarettes, boxes of send, Suzhou and Hangzhou two continents of silk, pieces of send, pure gold Buddha statue, Jinling's most rare makeup satin, one person sent a horse, known as the ingenious handicrafts.
Chen Mingxiang sent it generously, and people received it generously, it looks natural!
Li Shiqun knew that Chen Mingxiang would definitely not just send this, and later heard that when he invited these high-ranking Japanese military officials to visit the French Concession, he "incidentally" came to his home as a guest to visit his fairy tale palace in Shanghai, and the most outrageous thing was that these people all agreed.
"Minister, how can I have such a big face, people don't value me, the doorway here is very deep! To put it simply, Manchukuo, which was controlled by the Kwantung Army, was in great need of resources from Central and North China, but this demand was difficult to achieve. ”
"The Japanese Army is also full of contradictions, the Kwantung Army has always liked to eat alone, except for the delivery of supplies to Japan, the needs of Central China and North China are ignored, and this behavior has also aroused strong dissatisfaction from the General Headquarters of the Dispatch Army."
"For example, the North China Front Army has the oldest qualifications, and it ignores the arrogant and domineering Kwantung Army at all, and the Kwantung Army wants to exchange grain for minerals in North China, and it has to be reconciled by the base camp, and the Jinling government and Manchukuo are not looking at each other, and the relationship is chaotic into a pile of shit!"
"At this juncture, I hit my head into the whirlpool, and the Kwantung Army welcomes the special institution of Huatong Trading Company to do business in Manchukuo, and the old foundation of my Xinjing branch has long been found out."
"However, they hope that I can transport the materials from the customs to Manchukuo and realize the exchange of materials, such as bristles, tung oil, rosin, cane sugar, felt, cotton cloth, etc., which are the largest in the south, in exchange for soybeans, edible oil, rice, coal, cotton and other materials from Manchukuo."
"Minister, to be honest, I'm worried now, this matter has to be sent to the General Headquarters of the Dispatch Army to issue a clear written order, I dare to operate, otherwise, I would rather cancel the branch outside the customs, this troubled water can't afford to wade!" Chen Mingxiang said with a wry smile.
"Brother, you can do it yourself, I have goosebumps all over my body when I hear it, it's not necessarily a good thing to be too powerful, I was actually targeted by the Kwantung Army Headquarters, this is to take you to the thunder!"
"I advise you to withdraw quickly, we don't make this little money from Manchukuo, and we can't go into the big pit, there are places to make money in the Guannai!" Li Shiqun's eyes widened.
The contradiction between the Kwantung Army Headquarters and the General Headquarters of the Dispatch Army, that is the contradiction between the high-level leaders, there may be a deeper involvement behind it, not to mention a small person like Chen Mingxiang, even if the Major General Lieutenant General takes a wrong step, there is a possibility that he will not be able to climb up!
It is estimated that the Kwantung Army Command was forced to be anxious, although the territory outside the customs is very large, it cannot supply all the demand, but if you want to communicate with the customs area, you can't pull your face, and you have been waiting for an opportunity to break the ice.
As a result, Chen Mingxiang's Huatong Trading Company opened a branch in Xinjing, and the back of this smuggling agency can be connected to the General Headquarters of the Dispatch Army.
