Chapter 485: Climbing New Heights One

Chen Mingxiang was still in a good mood when he returned to the garden house of the Bank of China from the Mei Agency, the biggest threat to the military command of the Shanghai First District had been eliminated, and the Japanese puppet side had temporarily relaxed its vigilance.

Li Shiqun not only has to continue to preside over Qingxiang in Suzhou, but also has to be the chairman of the province, and it is not so easy to control the administrative affairs of a province, which also means that he will be very busy, and it is rare to come back once, and his attention to the Shanghai market will be even weaker.

Su Chengde has already decided to be the chief of the police department in Jinling, and Wan Lilang has a great possibility of going to serve in other places, these three most powerful senior agents are not in Shanghai, and their opponents are left with Nanzao Yunzi and the special high class!

This female spy deserves hell, if there is one!

Since he took the initiative to ask Boss Dai for this task, Chen Mingxiang sent someone to follow her for two years, but he didn't find a chance to start, which shows how cunning this woman is!

He had a plan in mind, but it was not convenient to implement it for the time being, and he had to wait until the three people from the secret service headquarters left Shanghai to start it.

As for those traitors, they can't be sanctioned now, that will cause concern on the Japanese side, and it will be a big trouble to choose one of Wan Lilang and Su Chengde to stay in Shanghai.

"Mingxiang, Boss Dai is calling again, urging you to spy on the movement of the war between Japan and the United States as soon as possible, he is also a little too anxious, right? You are not a god with such an important military secret, how can it be so easy to get your hands on? Wang Zhen said.

The direct station and Chen Mingxiang are now a whole, and it is also a relationship of both prosperity and loss, Wang Zhen, as an assistant, of course, is upset for Chen Mingxiang, the boss, and complains that Boss Dai is pressing too hard.

When Japan will make a move on Southeast Asia, this is the top secret of the Japanese government and the military department, and those who know the inside story are high-level core figures, and the general headquarters of the dispatched army may get the news in advance, after all, the military department will send the elite of the Japanese army in China to participate in the war.

However, the Japanese combat troops and intelligence agencies in Shanghai are not only not high enough, but also a little worse in weight, unless they are army generals who have been transferred, the rest of the generals may not have such qualifications, isn't Boss Dai forcing the living to hang themselves?

"It's really not that Boss Dai is too anxious, everyone knows that after Hideki Tojo came to power to form a cabinet, the Japanese military was controlled by the main battle faction, and there is no doubt about the implementation of the southward expansion plan, the key problem is not knowing the time, which is what the bureau headquarters is most concerned about."

"Boss Dai has always wanted to exchange this top-secret information with the US government to expand the influence and strength of the Military Administration, and the commission is extremely dependent on Britain and the United States, which is our means of self-protection."

"Really, I have to tell you something, judging from the latest information I have obtained, I think that the Japanese army has entered the countdown to the war in Southeast Asia, and the combat troops in Shanghai have begun to move." Chen Mingxiang said.

"Oh my God, do you really get the information? When does the fight start? When Wang Zhen heard the last sentence, her tone trembled a little.

Basically, she has to stay with Chen Mingxiang for a period of time every day, and she also knows the international situation very well, Southeast Asian countries, which are the territory of the United States, Britain and the Netherlands, and the Japanese army is at war with three countries at the same time, which is a major opportunity for the Shancheng government!

"I can only judge that it was in December, but there is no accurate time, if you want to get the Japanese army's plan to advance south, it is impossible, the military department only draws elite troops from the dispatch army to participate in the war, I am afraid that only the lieutenant general at the level of division commander knows the specific plan."

"You send a telegram to the headquarters of the bureau first, the 16th Division under the command of the 13th Army of the Japanese Army will set off for Amami Oshima, Japan in the middle of the year, prepare for war, and form the 14th Army with the 48th Division and the 65th Brigade on Taiwan Island, the commander is Lieutenant General Masaharu Honma, and the chief of staff is Major General Masami Maeda."

"This is one of the vanguard forces advancing into Southeast Asia, and I am trying to find out about specific targets, but based on the principle of geographical priority, I deduce that the frontal target of the Fourteenth Army is the Philippines, that is, the main force attacking the American army." Chen Mingxiang said.

Chen Mingxiang believed in his reasoning, but as soon as this telegram was issued, it would inevitably become the core basis for the war between Japan and the United States, and the relationship was not insignificant, and he had to find more corroboration.

The division commander of the 16th Division was Lieutenant General Morioka, a person he was not familiar with, but Major General Masami Maeda, chief of staff of the 14th Army, was very familiar with him.

"If there are only these reasons, I guess Boss Dai will not be satisfied, and he will definitely send another telegram, urging you to find more evidence, he wants to explain to the commission and those military and political officials why he made such a conclusion." Wang Zhen said.

"I'm going to visit Major General Maeda Masami, but before I go, I have to prepare some gifts, the 16th Division belongs to the A Permanent Horse Pulling Division, the establishment is 28,200 people, I will prepare ten boxes of cigarettes each, that is, 282,000 packs, 114 boxes of cigarettes, the cost of a box of two cents and five cents, 70,000 and 500 legal currency."

"Five cigarette machines with 300,000 cigarettes per hour, 15,000 packs, can be produced in 20 hours at most, plus packaging, it can be done in five days. Chen Mingxiang said.

The Japanese army also had rationed cigarettes, but to be honest, the low-level soldiers smoked some inferior cigarettes, and the taste was really not good. This is the reason why the Marine Corps Command has to buy special cigarettes even if it spends money.

The tobacco factory controlled by Chen Mingxiang uses Xuchang tobacco leaves, the quality is high-grade, the taste is naturally different, and it is deeply loved by the Japanese army, and the expenditure of 70,000 legal currency is nothing to Chen Mingxiang.

And for the people of the 16th Division, who doesn't like the things given for nothing, they may never be able to return to Shanghai in their lifetime, and it is also a "proud" thing to say, there are still people working before leaving!

Chen Mingxiang is looking for a reason to contact the high-level of the 16th Division, I "donated" cigarettes to the "Empire" army in vain, and you generals are not allowed to receive them with high standards?

As long as everyone can sit down and talk after a meal and drink, and when they are chatting, they can always get some information more or less, and this is what he needs.

The 16th Division is a combat unit, and seeing that there is still a month or two before the battle starts, those generals should know what is going on, and if there is no clear goal, how can they arrange the tasks of the subordinate wings?
