Chapter 493: Climbing New Heights Nine
Leaning over to take the green tea brewed with Zhuoxian, Chen Mingxiang thanked him, looked at Chen Gongbo, who was still in shock, and didn't come back to his senses, picked up the lid of the cup and smelled the tea, and gave an appreciative look.
The two sisters immediately smiled sweetly, as if flowers were in full bloom, which made people obsessed and intoxicated, but unfortunately there was an old man over half a hundred years old sitting next to him, and he couldn't help but feel that flowers were inserted in cow dung.
Chen Gongbo didn't pay attention at this time, his beloved pair of sister lovers, and other men were actually engaged in the small action of "eyebrow flirtation", and he was stunned by the news brought by Chen Mingxiang.
The Japanese government actually wants to go to war with Britain and the United States, and just recently, the concession of Shanghai will soon cease to exist! But as the No. 2 person in the Jinling government and the mayor of Shanghai Special City, I didn't hear any news of this kind of news.
"The Japanese side even told you such an important military secret, it can be seen that I appointed you as the foreign affairs commissioner of the city government, it is really a wise choice, you can specifically notify me, the city government can prepare in advance, Ming Xiang, what do you think the result of the Japanese attack on Southeast Asia?" Chen Gongbo asked.
"Your Excellency Mayor, you can arrange for the relevant departments of the city government to secretly prepare for the celebration, the Japanese government has been preparing for this war in Southeast Asia for a long time, and I dare to guarantee that there will be news of victory."
"The response of the city government will also satisfy the Japanese side, and this is the duty that the foreign affairs commissioner of the city government should fulfill." Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.
On the one hand, he was caught off guard and was not prepared for war at all, and on the other hand, he was deliberate, well-planned and well-prepared, and the outcome of the opening game is needless to say!
Chen Mingxiang came to Chen Gongbo's meaning, that is, the city government should prepare a sycophant routine in advance to win the favor of the Japanese master, Chen Gongbo is very disgusted with the Japanese on the surface, and he has to keep his distance, and he is not a traitor in his bones?
The Japanese needed to prepare materials for the war, Chen Gongbo expressed strong indignation, and at the same time immediately complied, and the bullshit munitions preparation department of the city government used the security teams and police of various counties and districts to make the merchants and ordinary people in Shanghai miserable!
"The superiors called back, asking us to thank Chen Mingxiang for the important information provided by the underground party, and in addition, after the Japanese fully occupy Shanghai, it will be more difficult to obtain supplies."
"The superiors instructed us to make good use of Chen Mingxiang's line, help us break the enemy's blockade, influence him as much as possible, and contribute to the great cause of resisting Japan."
"Lao Zheng, you will be responsible for Chen Mingxiang's affairs in the future, he loves the country and the people in his bones, otherwise he would not have done so many practical actions for us, and such people should be treated differently." The team leader said.
At the same time, Zheng Tonghui of the underground party was also sending a report to the Yanzhou base area, and Chen Mingxiang's news was really shocking, because the port city was an important channel for the underground party to receive international aid, and there were still many progressive people and comrades of the organization, and there was no big problem in the retreat of personnel with the buffer of these few days.
"Chen Mingxiang asked me about Comrade Lu Kunyu just now, but fortunately, the situation is tense and the Shanghai market is going to be turbulent for a period of time, and he didn't ask Lu Kunyu to come back, but this is not a way." Zheng Tonghui said.
"I will report this matter to my superiors, contact the comrades of the Bingcheng Underground Party, and let Kunyu think of a proper way that Chen Mingxiang can accept, solve the problem, and not hurt our contact with Chen Mingxiang."
"We have a very limited understanding of Chen Mingxiang, so let's not meddle in the organization, maybe it will get worse and worse. You have also seen his relationship network in the Japanese puppet high-level, which is unimaginably big, and even the military top secrets of the Japanese army can be probed, what kind of energy is this? The team leader said.
For Chen Mingxiang's attitude at present, the Shanghai underground party is still very satisfied, although the contact is very small, but when encountering major problems, the other party will take the initiative to report the situation for early warning.
The transportation of materials in the northern Jiangsu base area was also handled by Chen Mingxiang through Huatong Trading Company, and he should be rewarded for this credit!
"What, Major General Matsue is going to return to Japan to take up his post?" Chen Mingxiang was taken aback.
As soon as he returned to the office of Huatong Trading Company from Chen Gongbo's lover's residence, he received a call from Ono Nakasa, asking him to go to the headquarters of the Japanese Marine Corps in Shanghai immediately.
Paralyzed, what the hell are you Japanese doing, I just fed Major General Matsuzhi, and the relationship is getting more and more familiar, but you have changed!
"You already know about this military operation, in order to strengthen the influence of the Navy in Shanghai, the Military Command Department has decided to replace Rear Admiral Matsue from Rear Admiral Matsue Kakuzaburo Makita and serve as the commander of the headquarters, and we did not know about it before Commander Makita came to Shanghai." Ono Nakasa said helplessly.
What kind of bullshit influence, isn't it just to share the cake?
The British and American concessions were in Shanghai, and that was the biggest cake, such as electric power companies, telephone companies, water companies, tram companies, and other public utilities, as well as a large number of foreign trading houses, warehouses, shipping, real estate, cinemas, hotels, and so on, especially those banks, companies, and enterprises, which were an astronomical amount of wealth.
Once the concession was occupied, the assets of British and American merchants and officials of the Ministry of Industry became the pockets of the occupying forces, and the rear admiral obviously had less say than the vice admiral.
Chen Mingxiang's mood was suddenly very bad, which meant that he wanted to renew his relationship with the Marine Corps Command, not only to give gifts to the new commander, but also to give gifts to Major General Songzhi when he returned to his post in China, which was really distressing!
However, for the sake of their own strategic latent tasks, this expenditure cannot be avoided, and it must be sent, and it must be sent heavily, and it must be given a good impression on the new commander.
"Don't worry, although Vice Admiral Makita has just come to Shanghai, he has long known your importance, and he has sent a lot of supplies to the navy in the past two years, and he is a registered person in the military command department, as long as our navy is still in Shanghai for a day, you will inevitably get the support of the navy."
"Not only is the head of the Kodama Agency praising you, but Major General Matsuue is also extremely satisfied with you, and he has said a lot of good things about Vice Admiral Makita, and their relationship is very good, and His Excellency the General will definitely look at you differently." Nakajima said with a smile.
He thought that Chen Mingxiang was worried that the trusted commander would not get along well, so he showed him in advance, and it was not easy to say such a thing.
"Your Excellency the General summoned you this time, that's a good thing, Major General Matsuzhi will give you a big gift before leaving, and the head of the Kodama Agency also means this, a few of us have drunk your red wine for so long and smoked cigars for so long, so naturally we have to reciprocate." Shimada Nakasagami said mysteriously.
Chen Mingxiang was suddenly in high spirits, and he could guess with his nose that the so-called gift must be a little leftover in this battle for the interests of the British and American concessions, but for his own efforts, the return must be many times richer, and a slight leakage between his fingers will be an amazing harvest!
