It stands to reason that a high-ranking general of the empire who has just served as the top military adviser of the Jinling government should not say such discouraged words, and he has not been in office for a month, so he thinks about changing to a military position, and does not want to be the head of this Mei organ.

One can imagine how disappointed Matsui was with the current situation of the Jinling government, which can also show how complicated the relationship between Japan and the puppets is.

The tofu fell into the dust, and it was not good to shoot it heavy, but it was not good to shoot it lightly, this situation was a great test of the means and strategies of the "Emperor Taishang", and Matsui Taijiuro thought that it was far from being as comfortable as serving in the military.

"The base camp has just appointed you as the head of the Mei organ, and it is impossible to make personnel adjustments in a short period of time, after all, you used to be the top military adviser in Manchukuo, and you are familiar with this aspect of work, and it is possible to make a mess if you change someone."

"Matsui-kun, even if you want to change to a military position, the base camp must seek the opinion of the General Headquarters of the Dispatch Army, General Shunroku Hata attaches great importance to the work of clearing the township, and if you don't move for a long time, I think he will be dissatisfied in his heart, Mei Organ and the General Headquarters of the Dispatch Army are not in sync, this is a very dangerous behavior."

"Listen to my advice, no matter how much you disagree with the work of clearing the township, no matter how tired you are with Li Shiqun and the secret service headquarters, for the sake of the overall situation, it is better to implement it in action as soon as possible!"

"Since the base camp wants to maintain the status quo, the Mei organ must rely on Li Shiqun to deter the Jinling government, Li Shiqun sent Chen Mingxiang to communicate with you, which also shows that the time has come, and you must seek the greatest interests in doing things. Takeo Imai said.

Since Major General Kawamoto entrusted him to intercede with Matsui Taikuro, he knew that this matter had to be done, and if he wanted to mix in Shanghai, the 13th Army Headquarters could not be offended, and besides, he had a good relationship with Major General Kawamoto before, so he tried his best to persuade Matsui Taikuro to accept Chen Mingxiang's invitation.

"This Chen Mingxiang is a very interesting character, although I have been in Central China for a short time, but he is like a thunderbolt, the descendants of the Military Police Command of the 13th Army of our Army in Shanghai, or the descendants of the Marine Corps Command, I have never heard of this extent."

"Some time ago, there was a news that Su Chengde, the new political councilor of the Executive Yuan of the Jinling Government, committed suicide in fear of crime in the General Administration of the Political Police, and it is said that because of the conflict with Chen Mingxiang, he was chased and killed all the way, and Li Shiqun was the black hand, and he actually forced the special official of the Jinling Government to death, and even Chairman Wang's godson Lin Baisheng could not be saved." Matsui said with a smile.

Many people don't know what level Su Chengde's political commissar is, which is the first rank among the civil officials of the Jinling government, called a special officer, and Li Shiqun is at the same level.

Specially appointed officials must be personally signed by Wang Jingwei to sign a special appointment order, which is the highest level of administrative rank, and the status is quite high, and the ministers of various ministries, the provincial chairmen of various provinces, and the mayors of major special cities are also at this level.

The Jinling government has become corrupt and bribery, and it is not uncommon to take money by force, Chen Mingxiang and Li Shiqun joined forces to force Su Chengde to death, which must be very interesting.

"It is not only the Military Police Command and the Marine Corps Command that support Chen Mingxiang, but also the General Headquarters of the Dispatch Army and the Headquarters of the 13th Army, all of whom look at him differently.

"Huatong Trading Company is the military's largest private smuggling agency in central China, and it is said that hundreds of millions of strategic materials are smuggled for the imperial army every year."

"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs also favored him, and it is said that His Excellency Akagi Qinyuki, the deputy director of the Police Department of the Ministry of Public Concession at that time, admired Chen Mingxiang very much and strongly recommended him to take up important positions, as well as Chen Gongbo of the municipal government, who was trained as a cronie."

"I wasn't familiar with this person before, he was just a small translator at the secret service headquarters in Shanghai before, but in a blink of an eye, he has grown to the point where he is now, which has to be surprising." Takeo Imai said with some sighs.

As the so-called heroes emerge in troubled times, this special environment can indeed create special people, and it is unique that Chen Mingxiang may come to this step.

It's not that Chen Mingxiang's achievements are great, the biggest official position in the administrative aspect is the commissioner of the foreign affairs office of the municipal government, the rank of a simple officer, and the military position is the director of the general affairs department of the security headquarters of the municipal government, and he was awarded the rank of major general of the army.

But the major general of the Jinling government is a joke to the Japanese generals, and his status is not as good as the second lieutenant of the Japanese army, which is a bit excessive, and he is definitely not as good as a major lieutenant of the Japanese army.

But the question is, who has Chen Mingxiang's ability, who can get the dual support of the Japanese Navy and the Japanese Army at the same time, and he is still a celebrity in the gendarmerie command?

"We also had a long talk before Ying Zuojun left, and he recommended Chen Mingxiang to me, there is a sentence I remember very clearly, there is no need to give too much power, but it can be given more convenience, he is definitely not as good as Li Shiqun in terms of professional ability, but in terms of dealing with people, Li Shiqun is far worse than him."

"Since this matter was promoted by Chen Mingxiang, you tell him that we will go to his house for dinner in the evening, and I heard that the Marat Villa where Chen Mingxiang lives is the most famous building in Shanghai, and a fairy tale palace built by a rich businessman because of his child's dreams, I also want to see it." Matsui said with a smile.

Imai Takeo said in his heart, even if he wants to transfer from the secret service to the military, then he has to send the military headquarters to nod, and if he makes General Shunroku Hata unhappy, it is indeed a bit troublesome.

General Shunroku Hata used to be the emperor's chief military attaché and minister of the army, and he was one of the bigwigs in the army, and His Majesty the Emperor held him in high esteem, so it was better not to offend.

If you want to do something, you have to find the right person, Chen Mingxiang had some feelings after receiving the call, if it weren't for Kinoshita Rongshi's guidance, who would have thought that a Japanese army Dazuo could have such a great influence on a Japanese lieutenant general?

"Great, Chen Mingxiang really lived up to my expectations, just now I called and said that Lieutenant General Matsui has arrived in Shanghai, and under the persuasion of Takeo Imai, he will go to his house for dinner tonight, which is already a precursor to his statement." Li Shiqun said excitedly.

"Shen Gengmei called, saying that Chen Mingxiang's Huatong Trading Company had published recruitment advertisements on the front page of several newspapers in Shanghai, and that he was going to Beiping to set up a branch, which was to extend his hand to North China, but our Southeast Trading Company, even the relationship between Jiangtong District has not yet been settled!" Ye Jiqing said on the side.

She is a well-known money fan, and she attaches great importance to money, and when she heard that Chen Mingxiang had done business in North China, she suddenly became a little red-eyed.
