Kodama and Shifu and Ono Nakasa could still nod a little at Nanzao Yunzi, but to Lin Shaozuo, they didn't even say hello, they turned around and went to the hall with a snort.

The navy never buys the army's account, and Chen Mingxiang is the main supplier of the navy now, and has purchased a large number of pig bristles, tung oil, rosin, grain, etc., so that these two people have lost a lot of benefits and have been commended by the navy's military command department.

Although the Japanese looked down on the Chinese, with a long period of contact, the two also regarded Chen Mingxiang as loyal and reliable friends, but not so pure.

Lin Shaozuo actually snatched the power of the inspection team and gave Chen Mingxiang's power to the Japanese advisers, which caused the smuggling business of the Kodama agency to be greatly affected, and naturally he did not get a good face.

"Chen Jun, congratulations on the grand opening of your Foreign Affairs Office, and I have brought a little Japanese specialty as a celebratory gift." Shizue Tsuda, Minister of the Central China Liaison Department, actually came in person.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Excellency, I am ashamed of your presence in the Foreign Affairs Office, which has made the Foreign Affairs Office shine and brought precious gifts from the Empire!" Chen Mingxiang said.

"You are the most loyal friend of the empire and a good friend of the navy, and the foreign affairs office you lead has many contacts with the Central China Liaison Department of the Xingya Academy in the future, which is as it should be."

"I hope that Chen Jun will continue to support the navy, especially in the second half of the year, it is best to focus on it, the navy needs your help, the powerful imperial fleet has been silent for too long, and it is time to let those straw bales see who is the emperor's elite in the end." Shizue Tsuda said.

When these words came out of the mouth of a reserve vice admiral, the credibility must be higher, and Chen Mingxiang vaguely felt that the Japanese navy was about to launch military operations against the South Seas and Southeast Asia.

"Your Excellency, General!" Lin Shaozuo, who was standing in the distance, hurriedly ran over and bowed down and said.

It's a pity that Shizue Tsuda is too lazy to take care of him, the Japanese army is highly hierarchical, let alone a lieutenant general, even if it is a large or major general, you have to bow your head when you meet a lieutenant general, this is the internal rules of the game.

Lin Shaozuo, who was a little embarrassed, looked at Nanzao Yunzi respectfully and respectfully invited Tsuda Shizue to go upstairs to rest, feeling like he had been slapped in the face, his face was hot, he couldn't imagine that Chen Mingxiang had such a close relationship with the navy.

But the problem is that he can't do it if he doesn't do it, the power behind him can help him up, and it can also kick him away, this is the ruthless reality, if you want to gain, you must pay.

Chen Mingxiang doesn't seem to care about the position of the inspection team at all, during this time, except for sitting in the office every day and drinking a cup of tea, there is no action, Hirai Ichiro has all the power, not even a ripple, let alone a wave.

Li Shiqun, secretary general of the Qingxiang Committee and director of the secret service headquarters, and Lu Ying, chief of the city police, followed Qingqi Zhongzuo, which was the force of the Mei agency.

Major General Kinoshita Eichi of the Military Police Headquarters and Major General Matsuue of the Marine Corps Headquarters showed up without any surprise, which was a sign of support for Chen Mingxiang.

Chen Mingxiang also knew that the contradictions between the two sides were very deep, so he arranged the generals of the navy and the army to different rooms, and they did not have time to stay here much, and the coffee table was tea, cakes, dried fruits, and the like, and the big scene had to wait until the evening.

Immediately afterwards, Riddle, the general director of the board of directors of the Public Concession, and the commissioner of police, Smyth, arrived, followed by a group of directors. Katsuo Okaki of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Eiichi Shioi, Deputy Consul General, also arrived, and finally Mayor Chen Gongbo made the finale.

Chen Gongbo did not come alone, but also important officials of the municipal government, acting secretary general Hu Zewu, directors of various bureaus, district heads of various districts, county magistrates of counties, and commissioners of public offices.

"Chen Mingxiang, no wonder he is thriving in Shanghai, look at this lineup, if a bomb explodes at this time, the operation of the entire Shanghai market will be paralyzed." Qi Qingbin said in amazement.

"Not only that, the event of the listing ceremony is at most a small scene, I heard that in the evening in the club of the Bank of China, there is a grand drinking party, that is the most important thing, there will be senior generals every day, but unfortunately, the degree of vigilance is too tight, I can't find a chance to start." Chen Gongshu said.

Chen Mingxiang's mind was no longer on the listing ceremony, he got the information that Japan was going to war against Britain and the United States, and he had been thinking about it.

These high-ranking naval officers were very strict-mouthed, and did not reveal a clear clue, there was no doubt that the Japanese army was going to start a war, but the next work was the focus.

When this war was launched, which country in Southeast Asia was targeted, which unit was responsible for carrying out the attack, and how the navy and army coordinated operations were all top-secret information that he needed to know.

Whether it is Shizue Tsuda, Kodama and Shifu or Ono Nakasa, they have been emphasizing logistics and material support, and the war will not start in the near future, this is a preparatory stage, whether to fight or not, the result may not be known to them, but the preparation work cannot be ignored.

Chen Mingxiang suddenly thought that the United States and Britain would impose trade sanctions on Japan next month, and perhaps this was the main reason for deciding the war, and Japan's resources could not keep up with the consumption of the war.

"Ladies and gentlemen, good morning, and it is a great pleasure to witness with you the important moment of the establishment of the Foreign Affairs Liaison Office of the Shanghai Special Municipal Government...... Chen Gongbo took the speech and stood in front of the door to deliver a speech.

There is nothing new in it, it is nothing more than a cliché, talking about the diplomatic strategy of the Wang puppet government, praising the "help" of the Japanese invaders, and the support of the foreign affairs office of the municipal government, but these words cannot but be said, and the reporters who have been contacted for a long time are still waiting to take pictures and issue press releases!

Riddle, the general director of the board of directors of the Ministry of Industry of the Concession, was invited to make a brief speech, and the deputy consul general of the Japanese Consulate General in Shanghai, Eiichi Shioi, also made a speech, both in the standard official language.

Subsequently, Shizue Tsuda, Eichi Kinoshita, Major General Matsuue, Eiichi Shioi, Riddle and Chen Mingxiang, six people pulled down the red silk for the sign of the Foreign Affairs Office, and the ceremony was over.

Everyone knows that this morning's event is just a simple formality, and the reception held in the evening is the focus, and with Chen Mingxiang's style of doing things, it will definitely be very luxurious.

For this reason, the luncheon held by the city government was not attended by senior Japanese officials or officials of the Ministry of Industry of the Concession, but they all agreed to attend the reception in the evening.

This is the first social event to be attended by foreign guests after the establishment of the Foreign Affairs Office, and in addition to senior Japanese officials, senior consulates general of various countries will also attend.

Chen Mingxiang took this matter as the first priority, and after the ceremony, he went to the club of the Bank of China to check the preparations in detail.
