After having lunch at Zhou Gaohai's house, people still had to go to work, so Chen Mingxiang took the car back to his residence, and the car from Ding Mo Village was already waiting outside the door at this time.

The dignified chief of police has nothing to do, and the dignified members of the Central Standing Committee, the Minister of Communications, and the Minister of Social Affairs are also uncomfortable, and they are all masters who have no real power, and they make an appointment to drink tea and chat at home.

When Chen Mingxiang got out of the car, he was carrying two wooden boxes with exquisite workmanship, rosewood, not to mention, Zhou Gaohai is the number one person in the end, and he is not so unparticular about doing things, and he received two million coupons, and this time the return gift is also very heavy, a pair of Yuan blue and white porcelain vases and a pair of Tang Dynasty calligraphy, which must be worth a lot of money.

"When I came to Jinling, I didn't think about sitting in the office of the police secretary?" Ding Mocun said with a smile.

"This time, I didn't plan to go to the Yamen to see things, the three deputy directors have their own ghosts, I heard that they sing big operas every day, and they are engaged in a miasma, and I look at them and feel annoyed. If things go well, I may report to the office of President Wang of the Executive Yuan in the afternoon, and they will know that I am here. ”

"I don't want to get involved in the infighting of the police department, this is also the common sense of officialdom, there is no contradiction between subordinates, how can the boss balance? But if they don't follow the rules of the game, it will be a contempt for me, and the future police secretary will no longer have their chairs, and there will be people who are quite deputy directors. Chen Mingxiang said.

He was originally a part-time police chief, and he never thought of making personnel adjustments, and he had been working in Shanghai for a long time, and he did not have a qualified personnel reserve in his hands.

But now it's different, now that he's done, he's going to reap the fruits of victory, and if the police secretary starts to take power, he can't just take a bite of this cake, and he won't make a loss-making deal.

It's not impossible to eat if you want to, the premise is that I must let you eat, come hard, and don't want to take advantage of it if you have a mouth full of teeth!

In Chen Mingxiang's heart, it doesn't matter which faction the deputy director belongs to, and he doesn't have his own people, the key is whether he can understand the will and honestly obey the instructions.

"You want to report to Chairman Wang?" Ding Mocun asked in surprise.

This is not to say that he looks down on Chen Mingxiang, but the rules of officialdom are strict, and it is definitely not easy to think of Wang Jingwei's office to report work.

Even if he is a member of the Standing Committee of the Central Committee and a member of the core decision-making level, only a few people such as Zhou Gaohai, Chen Gongbo, and Chu Minyi can see him at any time.

Speaking of which, if he did not attend a meeting of the Central Standing Committee or a meeting of the Military Commission, he would not have had the opportunity to meet Wang Jingwei on weekdays, unless he was summoned.

Chen Mingxiang's rank is definitely not low, the rank of special officer is the highest level in government departments, and the chief of police is equivalent to a minister, and he is qualified to meet Wang Jingwei.

But his police department is an empty shelf, and he only needs to report to the Minister of the Interior Chen Qun for anything in the department, and there is really no need to alarm the number one person in the Jinling government.

Besides, behind Chen Mingxiang is the headquarters of the Japanese military police stationed in Shanghai and the headquarters of the Marine Corps stationed in Shanghai, and he is also Chen Gongbo's confidant, and it is taboo for him to be close to Wang Jingwei.

"Don't think too much about it, brother, the purpose of my report this time is to give the police department the power to get power from the Japanese, and if you want to be famous, you must have the diplomatic authority granted to me by the Executive Yuan, otherwise the name is not justified, how can I be qualified to negotiate with the Japanese?" Chen Mingxiang said.

Hearing Chen Mingxiang say his thoughts, Ding Mocun couldn't help but be greatly envious; those Japanese advisers in the Jinling government's police system were all dispatched from various special agencies, and in fact they were controlled by the Mei organs, and the command of the police station's operations was in the hands of the Japanese Gendarmerie Headquarters in Shanghai, and Chen Mingxiang had a very good relationship with these two sides, and there was indeed hope that this could be done.

While chatting, the phone at home rang, it was Zhou Gaohai calling, and he asked Chen Mingxiang to go to Wang Jingwei's office in the Executive Yuan immediately.

"Chairman Wang will not let go of any opportunity to increase the power of the Jinling government, brother, maybe this incident will make you favored by Chairman Wang, and you will go one step further from now on." Ding Mocun said with a smile.

"Forget it, being the chief of police has exceeded my expectations, the high-level pool is muddy and deep, intrigue and calculate each other all day long, I don't adapt to such an environment, it's better to honestly do business and make money, so it's more comfortable to live, in fact, I also follow the trend, the general environment changes, I will change." Chen Mingxiang said.

The conversation lasted more than an hour, and Wang Jingwei was very face-saving, and there were also Finance Minister Zhou Gaohai, Foreign Minister Chu Minyi, Propaganda Minister Lin Baisheng, Interior Minister Chen Qun, and Deputy Secretary-General Chen Chunpu.

Zhou Gaohai first introduced the ins and outs of the matter, which roughly means that when Chen Mingxiang applied to the Ministry of Finance for funding for the Department of Police, he incidentally put forward the idea of recovering part of the rights of the police system from the Mei organ and the headquarters of the military police stationed in Shanghai, because the part of the financial power involved the cooperation of the Ministry of Finance.

He felt that there was a possibility of operation, so he made a special trip to report to Chairman Wang, and invited everyone to come and discuss together, and ask Chen Mingxiang any questions, and Chen Mingxiang was responsible for answering them.

It stands to reason that Chen Mingxiang, the chief of police, will first report on major matters to the Minister of the Interior, Chen Qun, but since the Ministry of Finance is involved, it is not wrong to have an informal exchange.

A bunch of bastards, you're all sitting and I'm standing up and answering questions!

Half an hour later, Chen Qun came out and told him that Chairman Wang agreed in principle to this move, and that a meeting of the Standing Committee of the Central Committee would be held tomorrow morning to study it, and that he could go home and wait for news.

There was no problem, and Chen Mingxiang went to the military advisory group's residence that night and met with Lieutenant General Matsui Taikuro, the head of the agency, and his consent was required for this matter.

"Your Excellency General, New Year's Day is coming, thank you for your support and help to me since you took office as the Supreme Military Advisor, this is a little bit of my care, and please be sure to accept it." Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.

"Chen Jun is too polite, such a heavy gift, and said that it was a little careful, I am also ashamed of it, please drink tea!" Matsui said with satisfaction.

On the surface, the box is filled with wild ginseng and deer antlers, but in fact, there is a "gift money" of 100,000 US dollars.
