After listening to Xia Zhongming's words, Chen Mingxiang immediately knew what the other party meant, this is to get closer to himself, with the help of his strong backstage, to support the position of the Survey and Statistics Department, and also to protect his own interests, which is equivalent to saying that Li Shiqun's situation during this period of time has had an impact on the people below.

No matter how good the brotherly friendship is, it can't withstand the threat brought by reality, the Ministry of Investigation and Statistics comes from Li Shiqun's deterrence of the Jinling government, if Li Shiqun falls, this department will be 100% abolished, what bullshit, it can't be just a sentence from the bigwigs of the Jinling government.

Chen Mingxiang looked at Xia Danwei, who was dancing with Li Shiqun on the dance floor, and the two were laughing while dancing, looking very happy.

He and Xia Zhongming didn't have any dealings before, and the relationship was not cold, but it was just a nodding acquaintance, and they could say a word when they met, and they wouldn't get in touch if they didn't meet, Xia Zhongming actually used the resources of the Survey and Statistics Department as a bargaining chip and chose himself as a backer in the future, this may be Xia Danwei's proposal, if that's the case, I want to be impressed by this girl.

"I've never been in much contact with the affairs of the Survey and Statistics Department, but how is it going?" Chen Mingxiang asked.

"The work of the Survey and Statistics Department, Shi Qun is all handed over to me and Yang Jie to be responsible, I am based in Shanghai, he is based in Jinling, up to now, there are a total of southern Jiangsu, northern Jiangsu, central Anhui, central Henan, eastern Zhejiang, northern Zhejiang, eastern Jiangxi, northern Hubei and southern Hubei nine workstations, each station has six investigation teams, a total of 54 local investigation teams."

"In addition, there is an office in Shanghai, under the jurisdiction of two investigation groups, the Jinling headquarters of the Ministry of Investigation and Statistics has two investigation groups, a total of 58 investigation groups, the current establishment is more than 4,000 people, each investigation team is equipped with light weapons." Xia Zhongming said.

Since Chen Mingxiang opened his mouth to ask, he expressed his attitude, and he was also a little relaxed in his heart. Speaking of which, this is really the suggestion of her daughter Xia Danwei, with the big tree of Chen Mingxiang covered, it is equivalent to setting up a line with the Japanese garrison, even if Li Shiqun falls, the Survey and Statistics Department can be better placed.

This is not to deal with Li Shiqun, nor is it a betrayal, but to leave a way for the future, and such a move did not harm Li Shiqun's interests.

"Okay, since you have said it here, when you go back, sort out the personnel roster and the situation of the organization, send it to my office, and hand it over to Wu Ziying to lock in the safe, I will take the time to see, what is Yang Jie's situation now?" Chen Mingxiang asked.

He was really impressed by this bargaining chip, there is really no shortage of smart people in this world, they all know that his weakness is there, and no one is available in his hands, and these four thousand trained spy forces can be regarded as a rich meeting gift.

"The various investigation teams of the Survey and Statistics Department are basically idle, and occasionally receive assistance from the Japanese army, Yang Jie naturally does not attach importance to the work, except for asking the Ministry of Finance for salaries and funds every month, that is, keeping an eye on the movements of various yamen, listening to news for the Shiqun, and I am responsible for the specific daily affairs." Xia Zhongming said.

Having said this, there is no need to continue, everyone knows what is going on, talking too much may attract the attention of some people, such as Wan Lilang, who has been staring at this side tonight, this guy is a difficult master.

Li Shiqun is Li Shiqun, others think that his source in Jinling is mainly Ma Xiaotian, who knows that it is actually Yang Jie, he has never relaxed his attention to Jinling.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, and I haven't congratulated the director on his promotion to the chief of police and entering the sequence of special officers in one fell swoop." Wan Lilang walked over with a wine glass and said with a smile.

"I'm just an idle errand, I don't have any proud capital, I heard that District Mayor Wan is highly valued by Minister Li, now is the time to be popular, I have to congratulate you!" Chen Mingxiang said lightly.

"The director said this seriously, how dare I say that it is red in front of you, you now control the salt sales in the entire Central China, control the coal supply in Shanghai, and ask for the power of the police department from the Japanese, you are red in Japan and the Jinling government, the deputy director of the Shanghai Police Department, I don't know how to raise it, here my brother has made amends to you!" Wan Lilang drank the red wine in the cup in one gulp.

Chen Mingxiang's careful eyes deserve to be famous, listening to his tone, it seems that he still remembers the original thing, fortunately he found a chance to resolve it in time, otherwise, even if there is a chance in the future, this guy will have to find a way to stir up the yellow.

Wan Lilang is also an arrogant person, he recognizes Chen Mingxiang's business skills and drilling ability, but when it comes to spy work, he is a layman at all, and he is the most suitable person to do the position of police secretary.

But Chen Mingxiang has become an insurmountable peak for him, this person's ability to build relationships is too strong, it is to completely suppress him, if he wants to seek an important position in the Jinling government in the future, if he makes it bad, the outcome will inevitably be disastrous.

Even if you get a high position in the future, you have to have a good relationship with Chen Mingxiang, only a thousand days to be a thief, how can there be a thousand days to prevent thieves?

"Okay, it's all my own brothers, there aren't so many twists and turns, do you have any other thoughts when you mention this?" Chen Mingxiang said as he lit his cigar.

Also? This word seems to convey a message, Chen Mingxiang will not use this word casually, Wan Lilang immediately understood.

"Director, it can be said that the situation is very unoptimistic, Director Li is in a very bad mood during this time, to be honest with you, the secret service headquarters is also unstable, everyone is worried that Chairman Wang and the Japanese plan to weaken the strength of the secret service headquarters." Wan Lilang told the truth.

"You have already been linked to Minister Zhou, no matter how bad the situation is, this gust of wind will not blow on your head, what is there to worry about?" Chen Mingxiang said.

In order to deal with Li Shiqun, Zhou Kuhai privately recruited Wan Lilang as an inside line, and this matter was operated by Ding Mocun, and he assisted from the side.

But the plan has been implemented so far, and there has been no success, Wan Lilang is still a high-level member of the secret service headquarters, and he does not have much say in major affairs and personnel adjustments.

Although Li Shiqun regards Wan Lilang as a confidant, he has always kept a close eye on the secret service headquarters, and his power is highly concentrated.

According to Chen Mingxiang's judgment, it is estimated that Zhou Gaohai is very disappointed with Wan Lilang, and he also understands that the strategy of wanting to divide from the inside does not have much effect, at most it is just a backup means.

"That being said, I have failed to live up to Minister Zhou's expectations, and I have been in the secret service headquarters until now, and I have not done anything, and Minister Ding's contact with me has basically been cut off."

"Director, can you say a few kind words for me in front of Minister Zhou, it would be great if I could arrange for me to report to him in person, this friendship I will never forget, and I will never say anything to you in the future!" Wan Lilang said.
