"Thank you very much Chen Jun for his contribution to the 16th Division, I will definitely report this matter to the General Headquarters and Military Department of the Southern Army and strive for your commendation!"

"You are well-informed, and you already know that I have become the chief of staff of the 14th Army, and it seems that Major General Kage Zuo Zhenzhao of the Mei organ does not attach ordinary importance to you." Major General Masashi Maeda said happily.

He was also very surprised by this, speaking of the special service of the Ministry of the Army in Shanghai, there are not many places to deal with Chen Mingxiang, although he is also an acquaintance, but he never expected that Chen Mingxiang sent such a generous gift in order to celebrate his promotion to the chief of staff of the 14th Army, which is really a face!

This time, the General Headquarters of the Dispatch Army did not issue material procurement targets to the Huatong Trading Company through the Military Police Headquarters in Shanghai, but conveyed it by the Mei organ, only saying the quantity and not revealing any information.

After all, the Gendarmerie Command is not a combat army, and there is no need to know these military secrets before the war, but it was told to Kinoshita Eichi, and the last person in charge had to be Chen Mingxiang.

But the Mei agency is different, all the logistics and supplies of the Japanese army in Central and South China are coordinated by this agency, and these secrets must be known and operated in a justifiable manner.

Strictly speaking, the Huatong Trading Company does not belong to the Military Police Command, and has no such functions, and the Huatong Trading Company is a special second section of the Special High Division under the Military Police Command, which is used to disguise Chen Mingxiang's identity, and the Military Police only has the power to monitor, supervise, and manage.

Although it is usually said that it is a military management enterprise of the Military Police Command, to the Japanese military, it is still a derivative of the intelligence agency, and the Mei Agency, a special agency that manages all the intelligence agencies in the area under the jurisdiction of Wang's puppet government, is the rightful boss.

It's just that the gendarmerie command has always looked at this golden hen that can only lay golden eggs very strictly, and does not allow the Mei organ to intervene, and the shadow of the Mei organ is Zhenzhao, and there is no way to deal with the gendarmerie system, and the special high school can't control Chen Mingxiang, and the military police commander is supporting him, who dares to treat him as an ordinary intelligence officer?

After a long time, the monster of Huatong Trading Company appeared, and the Mei organ could not control it, the special high school department could not manage it, the military police headquarters did not care about anything but taking money, and the puppet Shanghai city government did not have the guts to manage it.

Masashi Maeda didn't guess that Kagezo Zhenzhao was an old qualified spy, how could he leak such information to Chen Mingxiang?

It was also a small oversight, the 16th Division had been assigned to the new battle sequence of the General Headquarters of the Southern Army, so the list of supplies was indicated as a supply for the 14th Army, Chen Mingxiang knew that there was such a thing, and then learned from Nanzao Yunzi that he was going to become the chief of staff.

"Your Excellency General, although we usually have relatively few contacts, I think that in the Imperial Special Service in Shanghai, your style is completely different from others, and it seems that you are not focusing on intelligence work itself, but a kind of accumulation and precipitation." Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.

It's really the right place, Masami Maeda's office is full of maps and information about Southeast Asia, as long as you are not blind, you know that the focus of the mark is Philippine Lubin.

There is no need to think about it anymore, the newly formed 14th Army of the Japanese army is to attack the US troops stationed in the Philippines, there is no doubt about this!

Masashi Maeda didn't seem to expect that Chen Mingxiang would come to the station of the secret service, everyone had arrived at the door, and the two were not strangers, so it was a bit inappropriate not to invite them to the house to talk.

Chen Mingxiang did not disappoint him, and sent expensive red wine and cigars, as well as luxury goods such as golden Buddha, gold watches and gold pens, Masashi Maeda was also a little flattered, and said that Chen Mingxiang was generous and the best at contacting people.

"Chen Jun didn't know, I was a staff officer of the Operations Division of the General Staff Headquarters thirteen years ago, when I was still a captain, and I carried out a secret mission at that time, investigating the geography and terrain of Southeast Asia and collecting relevant intelligence."

"It is precisely because of the task at that time that today's chief of staff of the 14th Army has been promoted, and I will become a lieutenant general next month!" Major General Masashi Maeda said proudly.

It is true that he is not very close to the intelligence agencies in Shanghai, and his ambition is not to support the puppet regime in such a occupied area and seek benefits for the empire, but his goal is to open up territory for Japan.

Chen Mingxiang was also secretly surprised: The Japanese military department's idea of attacking Southeast Asia had already begun 13 years ago, and the US military was afraid that the US military would suffer a big loss in this battle, and they had already figured out the geography and terrain.

"Congratulations on your promotion to lieutenant general, I invite you to dinner tonight and drink two glasses for your future success!" Chen Mingxiang said with a look of "surprise".

"I'll invite you for this meal, you wait here, I'll first introduce Major General Shizaburo Miyazaki, who replaced me, to you, and then invite Lieutenant General Morioka of the 16th Division, and we'll have a meal together."

"In September of the 13th year of the Republic of China, that is, in September of the 27th year of the Republic of China, Miyazaki-kun served as the section chief of the third section of the 21st Army Headquarters of the Dispatch Army, and at the same time the head of the special service of Guangdong Province, and in March of the 28th year of the Republic of China, he served as the wing commander of the 16th Infantry Wing of the Second Division."

"At the end of last year, Miyazaki-kun was promoted to major general by the base camp and transferred to the 13th Army Headquarters as the head of the special agency of the Ministry of the Army in Shanghai, but he never came to the agency to take up his post." Major General Masami Maeda said with a smile.

When he and Masashi Maeda Maeda arrived at the office, they saw Chen Mingxiang smoking at the door.

Shizaburo Miyazaki has also heard a lot about Chen Mingxiang's name, and knows that this guy is the God of Wealth of the Military Police Headquarters, who has made great contributions to the logistics and material support of the army and navy, and is a very capable and intelligent young man.

At present, this guy wears many hats in Shanghai, especially the city government and subordinate agencies controlled by the special service agency of the Ministry of Army in Shanghai, he wears three hats, and he will inevitably deal with him in the future.

Chen Mingxiang has a remarkable characteristic, although he is mixed in the secret service organs, he only talks about money and does not talk about intelligence, and he hides aside when he encounters things that may lead to leakage of secrets.

"Jun Chen, I have admired your name for a long time, I am deeply grateful for your contribution to the empire, and you are welcome to come and sit here more in the future." Shizaburo Miyazaki said with a smile.

"What the head of the agency said is serious, those are what I should do, everything that the empire has given me now, I should be grateful to repay my kindness and contribute my meager strength to the cause of the empire." Chen Mingxiang hurriedly said.

"This is an office space, it is indeed not suitable for receiving distinguished guests, let's go, I have already decided on a place, let's go to the tavern to drink and chat." Maeda said he was pleased with Chen's move.
