Chapter 401: Escalation
According to the division of forces between the navy and the army, the territory of the Marine Corps Headquarters stationed in Shanghai is only the Japanese-occupied area of Hongkou, and no military action can be taken against other places.
Therefore, the garrison of the Marine Corps Command only took measures against the location of the two grain stores, which involved vital interests and was also famous for being a division.
Under the accusations of various forces, the military police headquarters stationed in Shanghai dispatched a large number of military police to arrest members of the inspection team, law enforcement brigade, and accomplices who were committing the crime, using the "reason" of disrupting social order in Shanghai.
When there was a conflict between the Japanese and the Chinese, the military police headquarters always helped their own people in peacetime, but when their own people touched the interests of the military, the result was to beat them up!
"Chief, Nakajima-kun, Shimada-kun, please come and sit in my office, the gendarmerie headquarters has called me just now, and His Excellency the general will come over in a moment." Chen Mingxiang said.
Today, it was his turn to sit in the office of the Foreign Affairs Office, but it was not yet noon, and a series of phone calls urged him to the inspection team, and even Ichiro Hirai called him and asked him to come back to deal with urgent matters.
The development of things was obviously beyond his expectations, he didn't expect it to be such a big trouble, Ichiro Hirai was so anxious that he didn't even do the necessary investigation, and directly attacked the smugglers.
Perhaps, in the eyes of the Japanese, as long as the target of the action is not a Japanese company, it is not a big deal to grab it, and the consequences of this are not considered at all.
"Minister Shizue Tsuda and General Matsuue will also arrive at the inspection team soon, and the fleet command is very angry about this matter, and Admiral Shigetaro Shigetaro and Admiral Shunroku Hata have spoken on the phone, and they don't want something similar to happen again, and this time the navy and army will join forces to suppress the chaebols and restrain the behavior of those chaebols." Kodama and Shifu said after coming to the office.
The chaebol controlled the production of weapons and equipment and military supplies for the Japanese army, and the military department was unwilling to tear up their faces with them, and of course the Japanese army in China could not make too drastic moves.
Although the navy and the army are full of contradictions and do not like each other, they have the same purpose in dealing with this matter, first uniting to deal with the chaebol and ensure that their own interests are not infringed upon.
"Please rest assured, I will put myself in the right position, this is a special period, and maintaining the balance between the military department and the chaebol is the most important." Chen Mingxiang said.
"Chen Jun is really a good friend of the Japanese Empire, and the angle of consideration is completely correct, and at this stage, he really can't tear his face with the chaebol, which is not good for the overall situation." Kodama and Shifu nodded and said.
A smart person is a smart person, there is no need to understand at all, although Chen Mingxiang is young, his thinking is quite mature, and he has grasped the essence of this matter.
For the sake of the southward expansion strategy, the military department needs the chaebol to provide guarantees for the war, and everything must be conceded in the face of interests, and to put it more properly, the inspection team will be in the hands of the representatives of Japanese enterprises for the time being.
Shizue Tsuda, director of the Central China Liaison Department of the Koya Academy, Major General Eichi Kinoshita of the Military Police Command, Major General Matsuue of the Marine Corps Command, and Major General Masami Maeda of the Ministry of the Army's special service in Shanghai represent the interests of the military.
President Takashima of the Central China Revitalization Association, representatives of the two major chaebols of Mitsui and Mitsubishi, representatives of the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce of Japanese enterprises, and representatives of the puppet Shanghai Chamber of Commerce rushed to the inspection team.
The essence of the meeting of these people gathered at the inspection team was to divide the cake, and the military-managed enterprises controlled by the military department and the Japanese chaebol enterprises in Shanghai should jointly divide the strategic materials from the nationalized areas.
"Your Excellency General, it is a pity that this kind of thing has happened, and I, as the head of the inspection team, have neglected to supervise this, and I have an unshirkable responsibility." Chen Mingxiang said to Kinoshita Eichi.
Hearing these words, Lin Shaozuo and Ichiro Hirai only felt a chill in his back, this person is really not easy to mess with, it is obvious that he is adding fuel to the fire, and he is also shirking responsibility.
The inspection team is now under the responsibility system of Japanese consultants, and Chen Mingxiang is just an ornament that has been hollowed out, and he deliberately said this kind of thing with the intention of showing the appearance of the two of them.
"Chen Jun, this matter is not your reason, and you don't have to take the responsibility on yourself, Mayor Chen Gongbo called me, and you will participate in the meeting as a representative of the municipal government, and his secretary will also rush over to attend the meeting." Major General Kinoshita Eichi said.
Looking at Lin Shaozuo and Ichiro Hirai who were dodging next to him, he was very annoyed in his heart, and he couldn't wait to pull out his saber and cut off their heads!
But the representative of the Japanese chaebol had already greeted him on this matter, and he could not go too far in the face of those behemoths that the military bigwigs were also afraid of.
"Nana, you first invite people from the army to the reception room, and people from the navy to your secretary's office, and all unrelated personnel will leave the office building." Chen Mingxiang stepped aside and said to Liu Nina.
"This time Ichiro Hirai and Lin Shaozuo are going to suffer, do you think the Japanese will revoke the adviser responsibility system and let you come back to power?" Liu Nina said with a smile.
"It's not that simple, although these two guys are a little reckless in doing things, but the Japanese chaebol appreciates it very much, and with such a tough backstage, they will not be punished substantially."
"Since the military department wants to start a war, it must compromise with the Japanese chaebol, and it is impossible for me to take back control of the inspection team in a short time, besides, even if I am allowed to take over, I am not willing to wade into troubled waters at this time and offend people, so let the Japanese do it themselves!" Chen Mingxiang shook his head and said.
Mo Guokang came to the inspection team in Chen Gongbo's special car, and Chen Mingxiang met with her in an office downstairs, and it is estimated that Chen Gongbo will give an explanation.
"The Japanese themselves have bitten it, and our city government does not get involved, and the mayor means that the functions of the previous inspection team will be restored, and this kind of blatant robbery must be stopped, which is also what Chairman Wang meant, and the image of the Jinling government and the image of the city government must not be affected internationally." Mo Guokang said.
You really feel good about yourself, you really dare to put gold on your face, in the world, Wang's puppet government has a fart image?
"I know, I will explain to all parties involved in the meaning of the mayor and Chairman Wang, in fact, the Japanese side does not want the Shanghai market to be tossed and messed up." Although Chen Mingxiang was slanderous, he didn't say anything else.
"There is a situation to tell you in advance, Zhou Gaohai and Ding Mocun came to Shanghai last night, and they also had a meal with the mayor, and I heard that Zhou Gaohai plans to abolish the Ministry of Police, so I asked the mayor for his opinion."
"You know, the mayor doesn't like the group of hooligans in the secret service headquarters very much, and thinks that the image of the Jinling government has been seriously ruined, so he naturally agreed to Zhou Gaohai's proposal, and Li Shiqun is going to be unlucky this time." Mo Guokang is really worthy of Chen Mingxiang's big red envelopes and extravagant gifts, revealing a top secret.
