At 8 o'clock on the morning of 27 July, Kinoshita Eichi, Matsui Taikuro, Li Shiqun, and Chen Mingxiang arrived at Hongkou Airport to greet the distinguished guests attending the joint intelligence conference.

"Brother, you are really good at seizing the opportunity, taking advantage of the Japanese government's change of policy towards the Jinling government, you actually turned the police department from an empty shelf to a hot place now, and there are also some brothers in the secret service headquarters who are very interested in the position of inspector general."

"Yesterday I went to Jinling to attend a meeting of the Standing Committee of the Central Committee, and Chairman Wang announced the contents of the new agreement between the Japanese Government and the Jinling Government, especially the achievements made in the negotiations between the Department of Police and the Japanese secret services, and praised you in public, and expressed special appreciation for your ability to take the initiative to think about the Jinling Government and take back your due powers. Li Shiqun said with a smile.

"Of course my brother is easy to say, the minister will consider the candidate and just tell me, but Wan Lilang doesn't like it very much." Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.

"What's going on? Wan Lilang also specially asked me about the position of inspector and director, and he seems to be very interested? Li Shiqun was amazed.

"The last time I went to Hangzhou, considering that after the relocation of the headquarters, our side of the power in Shanghai was too thin, and originally planned to transfer Wan Lilang back and arrange to serve as the deputy director of the Shanghai Police Bureau and the commissioner of the Special Administrative Office, but he refused, and was willing to stay in the secret service headquarters, since this is the case, there is no need to consider serving in the police system." Chen Mingxiang said.

Li Shiqun suddenly smiled, daring Chen Mingxiang wanted to transfer Wan Lilang back to Shanghai, and also offered extremely generous conditions for this, the deputy director of the Municipal Police Bureau, the commissioner of the Special Office, these two positions are very valuable, even if Chen Mingxiang is trusted by Chen Gongbo, it is not so easy to operate.

As a result, he was kind enough to give away his future but was rejected by others, how could he, a well-known person with a careful eye, give Wan Lilang another chance?

"Okay, since you say so, I won't consider Wan Lilang, in fact, I don't want him to leave the secret service headquarters, in terms of personal ability, he is also one of the best in the secret service headquarters, but his luck is not very good, and he will always be only a little bit behind." Li Shiqun said.

He also had to admit that Wan Lilang was indeed the most capable agent master under him, but he entered the agent headquarters a little later, and with him pressing on it, it was impossible for Wan Lilang to come out.

At half past nine, the Kwantung Army's transport plane arrived first, and Major General Yanagida Motozo, head of the headquarters of the Bingcheng secret service headquarters, Major General Toshishi Miura, head of the Mukden secret service agency, Major General Saburo Shibuya, deputy director of the puppet Manchukuo Ministry of Public Security and chief of the General Security Bureau, Kodai Takeda, chief of the intelligence department of the Second Section of the Kwantung Army Headquarters, and Major General Hajiro Kato, the newly arrived commander of the military police of the Kwantung Army, got off the plane one after another.

Kinoshita Eichi smiled and first introduced the participants in Central China to Kato Hajiro, and although Chen Mingxiang was the last, he focused on the introduction.

"When I was in Tokyo, I admired Chen Jun's name for a long time, and when I took up a new post in the Kwantung Army, Chief of General Staff Yukio Kasawara and Minister Yoshitake Furuno praised you for your great contribution to the Kwantung Army, and I am also happy and proud that there is such an outstanding talent as you in the gendarmerie system." Kato Hajiro took the initiative to bow to Chen Mingxiang.

"I don't dare to be, I don't dare to be, it is precisely because I am fortunate to serve in the military police system of the Imperial Army that I have a little achievement now, thank you for your affirmation, Your Excellency General, and please take care of your future affairs in Manchukuo." Chen Mingxiang hurriedly bowed.

This henchman and lackey of Hideki Tojo can look at Chen Mingxiang differently, that is because of the characteristics of the gendarmerie system itself, internal unity and mutual help and unity externally, but Li Shiqun is too far behind, even if he is the chairman of the Central Standing Committee and the chairman of the province of Gasu Province, he shakes hands and says perfunctory, and he is not even interested in talking.

The secret service headquarters is a spy agency under the Mei agency, and it is connected to the headquarters of the Bingcheng secret service, and the secret service agency and the gendarmerie system are incompatible, and this attitude is also normal, Yanagida Motozo and Miura Toshishi are relatively enthusiastic about Li Shiqun.

Immediately afterwards, Major General Hikotaro Tajima, director of the Special Services Department of the North China Front Command, Major General Otozaburo Yano, commander of the North China Military Police Headquarters, and Haruki Keiyin Daisa, chief of the Second Staff Section of the North China Front Command, also landed at Hongqiao Airport by plane.

No matter how deep the contradiction is, the influence must be taken into account in the public scene, and the people of the gendarmerie system and the secret service system, with a little false pretense of saying hello, rushed to the gendarmerie headquarters station together in a car.

Chen Mingxiang, the deputy secretary general, is running errands, and he is responsible for all the catering problems during the meeting, which is how extravagant and extravagant it is, and there are hundreds of hot and cold dishes for more than a dozen people, not counting dozens of fruits and snacks.

The other participants were not shocked when they learned Chen Mingxiang's generosity last time, but Kato Hajiro felt dumbfounded by the pomp and circumstance of the reception, even if it was the banquet of the Kwantung Army General Headquarters to welcome him as the new commander of the military police, the grade was too far from here.

But after lunch, when the group went to the conference room of the headquarters for a meeting, Chen Mingxiang ran to the Yuchang Coal Company. This is also to avoid suspicion, and the image he creates is that he does not have access to intelligence, and the content of the meeting will soon be known anyway.

"Kinoshita-kun, why didn't you see Chen Jun, as the deputy secretary general of the Joint Intelligence Conference, didn't he want to attend as an observer?" Kato Hajiro didn't see Chen Mingxiang, so he asked in confusion.

When he handed over to Major General Yuan Shou, he knew the transaction between Chen Mingxiang and the Kwantung Army Gendarmerie Headquarters, which is the rules of the game in the system, even if he has the support of Hideki Tojo, he can't challenge the interests of the group, Chen Mingxiang, the big celebrity of the Gendarmerie Headquarters in Shanghai, is also his future God of Wealth, and he should care about it.

"Chen Jun basically doesn't participate in the meeting, while we have a meeting, he goes to deal with other things, Kato-kun doesn't know, he has a lot of part-time jobs in Shanghai, and he has been busy wrestling with the coal merchants in Shanghai recently, it is estimated that there will be a good show tomorrow, and when you go to his house for dinner in the evening, you will know what the specific situation is." Kinoshita Eichi said with a smile.

Chen Mingxiang represented the military, the cabinet and the city government, and he was one of the initiators of the war between the Shanghai coal merchants, and he was involved in the whole process, so he naturally knew how things were going.

Chen Mingxiang also reported to him when he left just now, transporting coal overnight tonight, and officially showing his killer feature tomorrow, dealing a fatal blow to those coal merchants.

Thinking about those greedy guys, after getting the news, they looked like mourning, Kinoshita Eichi felt very happy in his heart, telling you to dare to fight against the military department and drag your feet, now you know it's amazing, right?
