Chapter 719: A Trip to Ice City II
Chen Mingxiang took the car of Major General Yanagida Motozo, and after leaving the security bureau, he first returned to the hotel to change his clothes, and then went to a Japanese restaurant, where the deputy director of the Ice Castle Police Agency, Kanji Sonoda, and Akiyoshi Weiro were already waiting at the gate.
From the outside, this is an ordinary Japanese-style house, but there is a guard at the door, and you need to show your ID. The building is all wooden, the interior is very clean, through the hall is a room, after the sliding door is tatami mats, the area is very spacious, there are beautiful waitresses shuttling back and forth.
Chen Mingxiang soon found that the people who came to eat here were all Japanese, and he could hear from the conversation that there was no sense of jerkiness, and the people he met were basically junior officers, and it was estimated that it was a place dedicated to receiving generals and middle-level officers.
Kasuga Nakasa of the Bingcheng Gendarmerie did not follow, but invited Chen Mingxiang to dinner on behalf of Major General Yuan Shou, and it was obvious that the relationship between the headquarters of the secret service and the gendarmerie was not very harmonious.
According to the regulations of the Kwantung Army Command, the Security Bureau is under the management of the Deputy Minister of Public Security of Manchukuo, and the police chiefs of each province are also the directors of the Security Bureau, and the special services are stationed in the Security Bureau to guide the work, and Akiyoshi-kun is the deputy director of the Ministry of Public Security."
"What you see is only the peripheral system of the Security Bureau, in fact, the core business is completely in charge of the Imperial agents, and the agencies stationed in various cities are called secret service sub-offices, all of which have their own cover identities, although the agents who arrested you are also Japanese, and the work is relatively simple, leading the Chinese personnel to search for agents of the underground party and the Military Command Bureau."
"The gendarmerie also has the power to direct the work of the Security Service and can also give orders, so that there is constant intrigue between them, and often because of internal contradictions, even the work itself is delayed." Major General Yanagida Motozo said while drinking tea.
Chen Mingxiang also learned some inside stories of the Security Bureau, which was originally a special agency specially set up by the Kwantung Army Headquarters in September of the 26th year of the Republic of China, mainly aimed at the Soviet Union, and claimed to be the secret police of the puppet Ministry of Public Security of Manchukuo.
As a matter of fact, the security bureaus of each province are divided into two systems, internal and external, and the external system is the station of the security bureau where Chen Mingxiang arrived today, and the members here are public in nature, which coincides with the functions of the National Police Agency.
And the internal system is all Japanese agents, their identities are extremely secretive, and they use various professions as cover, they will not appear casually at the security bureau station, and the organization is very strict and the discipline is very strict.
"Is there anything important for Chen Jun to come to Ice City this time? If there is a need for the Security Bureau, please feel free to say that I am very willing to help my friends in the Empire. Akiyoshi said.
Although he squeezed out a smile, his face was swollen by Yanagida Motozo, and it still hurts hotly, which looks a little funny.
The reason why Yanagida Motozo was furious this time was because of the stimulation of many reasons, although Chen Mingxiang did give money and gifts, but it was not so simple.
Or is that sentence, putting aside the beastly behavior of the Japanese invaders for the time being, how can anyone who can be a general be simple? What's more, he is still the head of the secret service of the Kwantung Army, and his thinking is so naïve?
First of all, Chen Mingxiang is a "meritorious person" awarded by the Japanese emperor to the second-class Ruibao Heavy Medal, this kind of imperial medal is not issued casually, for such a special person, to take into account the image of the empire, even his own followers in China can not be protected, who is willing to work for Japan?
Second, the security of the puppet state of Manchukuo has always been regarded by the Japanese government as a model for the occupied areas, and its professional quality is not a little higher than that of the Jinling government and the North China Political Affairs Committee in the Guannai.
At the joint meeting, the senior Japanese officers of the Kwantung Army system boasted about the spies and police of Manchukuo, but as a result, this incident first slapped Yanagida Gensanichi, and at such a level, he was embarrassed to laugh at the spies and police in the Kannai?
In addition, the headquarters of the Kwantung Army's Bingcheng secret service has always believed that the Security Bureau is its own territory and belongs to the secret agency, but the gendarmerie always points fingers and often interferes in the operation of the Security Bureau.
The Binjiang Provincial Security Bureau arrested Chen Mingxiang, who had come to Bingcheng this time, and it is estimated that this incident will definitely become a pretext for the Gendarmerie Headquarters to attack the headquarters of the secret service.
In addition, Yukio Kasawara, chief of staff of the Kwantung Army Headquarters, had just received Chen Mingxiang's "heart", and the negotiations between the two sides went very smoothly.
Yanagida Motozo was already angry, and he was severely criticized by his boss, and when he was in an extremely bad mood, the slap was already light.
"This time I came to Bingcheng to pay a special visit to General Yanagida, and the police department needs to set up a liaison office at the headquarters of the secret service, and I think Vice Minister Shibuya has already notified the various security bureaus."
"In addition, it is not easy to come to Guanwai, take this opportunity to also take a look at my own industry, in the prosperous area of Bingcheng Central Street, I opened a branch of Yuanhexiang Silk Village and Baoshengyuan Tea Shop, and there is also an office."
"It won't take too long, that is, two or three days, and then I will take the transport plane of the Kwantung Army back to Shanghai, and there is nothing to bother Your Excellency."
"I just hope that the Security Bureau will find out the false accusers, this is the first time I have come to Manchukuo, and I have not offended anyone, who has to get along with me like this?" Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.
It would be hell if the Security Bureau could find it, this matter was privately operated by his bodyguards, and after making the call, he withdrew to the hotel, and they were disguised throughout the whole process, and people who were not familiar with it could not recognize it at all.
The agents of the Security Bureau couldn't imagine that this incident was completely a farce directed and acted by Chen Mingxiang, in order to muddy the waters and make the intelligence department of the Kwantung Army think wildly.
"Chen Jun is right, this matter is a little strange, the other party obviously knows that you have a special identity, but still made such a naïve move, and reported to the gendarmerie, the security bureau and the police station respectively, the purpose is definitely not to deal with you."
"In my opinion, what they did was not even a warning, it should be a hint or a signal, but it is not yet certain that their intentions are intended."
"Your little industry in Manchukuo is slightly not worth mentioning for the real big forces, and you have just been in Manchukuo for a few days, and you have not clashed with anyone, I have a rough guess, drink a bar first, and I will take you to the headquarters of the secret service in the afternoon to visit." Yanagida Motozo said.
Excluding all the impossible factors, the rest is naturally the most logical choice, just as Chen Mingxiang thought, he targeted the Manchurian Railway Investigation Department.
Because they knew that Chen Mingxiang went to Xinjing to negotiate with the representatives of the Kwantung Army Headquarters about the exchange of materials, it was a secret, and very few people knew about it, but the Manchurian Railway Investigation Department had this ability, and the headquarters had their people.
