Chapter 616: Making Up for the Last Shortcoming 3 (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Looking at the backs of Chen Mingxiang and Qingqi Zhongzuo, Ying Zuo Zhenzhao reached out and took out a cigar from the cigarette case, and shook his head with some regret, often at this time, it is only at this time that he can see what a person's conduct is.
Although Chen Mingxiang is a person from the secret service headquarters under the Mei Agency, strictly speaking, he is a person who belongs to the Military Police Headquarters in Shanghai, and he usually has little contact with the Mei Agency, and Ying Zuo Zhenzhao also knows that Chen Mingxiang is to avoid suspicion.
He didn't value the money and things sent by Chen Mingxiang to make such a decision, of course, there are also reasons for this, the most important thing is that Chen Mingxiang thought about him very well.
He has always admired Chen Mingxiang's ability, the other party's way of doing things is sophisticated and skillful, the details are often extraordinarily in place, and he can mix with ease in the Imperial Navy and Army, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Jinling Government, which also shows that his insight and thinking ability are quite good.
"Chen Jun, I want to thank you for all this you have done for His Excellency the General, in fact, I can feel that he is a little desolate in his heart, leaving the career he built with his own hands, but not getting the due return, of course his mood will be low." Sunny Nakasa said.
"I'm just holding a cocktail party for His Excellency the General in the name of the Foreign Affairs Office of the Municipal Government, in terms of specifications and levels, I can't compare it with the Jinling government, just to express my heart, even if I don't say it, it is estimated that Mayor Chen Gongbo will have such considerations." Chen Mingxiang said.
"You are wrong, the most fundamental reason why His Excellency the General was dismissed from the post of the top military adviser of the Jinling government by the Tojo cabinet and transferred to the Seventh Artillery Brigade in the northeast as the commander is still in the Jinling government."
"The empire helped Chairman Wang to form the Jinling government, and assigned all the occupied areas outside Manchukuo to the Jinling government as administrative regions, so naturally it must get enough returns."
"But Wang Jingwei, Chen Gongbo, Zhou Gaohai and others in the Jinling government don't have much gratitude, but they have been competing with the empire all the time, wanting to gain more power and benefits."
"In terms of material control, the Imperial Army's military operations were not even actively coordinated, and after the establishment of the Tojo Cabinet, they were very annoyed by this situation, so they blamed His Excellency the General for being too lenient with them, causing them to kick their noses in the face, so they made such adjustments."
"If you want to talk about the farewell reception, Chairman Wang also held it in Jinling, you didn't see the scene at that time, how can you say it, it's a false appearance, the general is very uncomfortable." Sunny Nakasa said.
Although the Jinling government also held a grand farewell banquet for Ying Zuo Zhenzhao, and the traitor high-ranking officials with a little status were all present, but in the eyes of Ying Zuo Zhen Zhao and Qingqi Qingyin, it was just a formality.
He hoped to get the gratitude and respect of the Jinling government, and positively affirm his merits and achievements, but from beginning to end, the big traitors of the Jinling government did not do so.
"How can this be? Everything today is the result of the efforts of His Excellency the General, and they are a bit excessive. Chen Mingxiang said.
"I can't say it completely, the reasons inside are very complicated, Chen Jun, you have to cherish the opportunity given to you by His Excellency the General this time, and make the reception more grand, I have been holding meetings in Shanghai for the past few days, and you can come to me to finalize the invitation." Nakasa didn't explain again.
After Kagesa Zhenzhao was transferred from the secret service to the military, everyone knew that the possibility of him coming back was close to zero, and it was normal for a former top military adviser who had lost his value to say some perfunctory words.
In addition, Matsui Kutaro, the newly hired top military adviser of the Jinling government, has just taken over this position, and no one can figure out what he thinks.
Secondly, the big traitors of the Jinling government were afraid of provoking the Japanese Tojo cabinet, so the transfer of Kage Sazhen Akira naturally required the approval of the senior Tojo soldiers.
Japanese Prime Minister Hideki Tojo has a nickname, called Senior Private Tojo, which was given to him by Ishihara Waner, the first staff officer of the Japanese military, which means to satirize Hideki Tojo only has the military IQ of a senior soldier.
"Bureau, Chunfeng sent a telegram, Mao Sanmu really did not mutiny, the action corps is safe for the time being, and the special high section of the military police headquarters stationed in Shanghai did not torture him, but wanted to use him as a hostage to prevent the action corps from continuing to take action against Shanghai."
"Wang Jingwei will convene a work conference on clearing townships in Shanghai tomorrow, the content of which is to expand the area of clearing townships, intensify the elimination of the guerrillas of our military command and the guerrillas of the underground party, consolidate the rule of the Wang puppet government, and prohibit the flow of resources from the occupied areas to the nationalist areas." Mao Renfeng said with the message.
"The current situation is not conducive to continuing to take armed action in the urban area, so the key members are selected to form an intelligence group, which is temporarily on standby, and the number of personnel cannot exceed 10."
"The rest of the members of the Action Corps were all transferred to the Songhu District of the Loyal National Salvation Army, and Ruan Thanh Yuan was responsible for arranging for them to participate in guerrilla operations in the suburbs."
"You told Hu Dezhen that as long as you can keep Mao Sanmu safe, any conditions can be discussed, you can make a gesture of cooperation, you don't have to stick to the constraints of form, and the work of the Shanghai market in the future will be mainly based on intelligence gathering." Dai Li said.
The special high section of the military police headquarters stationed in Shanghai did not know that Mao Sanmu's home was the command center of the action corps, and there was also a radio station, but he sent people to monitor it and did not dig deeper.
In fact, Mao Sanmu's wife, Hu Dezhen, served as the secretary of the action corps, and her cousin who lived at home was a telegraph operator, so the whole family was a combat unit, and the communication between the action corps and the bureau headquarters was very convenient.
Just when Wang Jingwei held a work conference on clearing the township, it happened that the most famous classic naval battle during World War II, that is, the Battle of Midway, broke out.
Midway is an island with an area of less than five square kilometers, and the key is that its geographical location is relatively special, so its strategic position is also very important.
Midway is 2,800 nautical miles away from San Francisco and Yokohama, Japan, and more than 1,100 nautical miles from Pearl Harbor, the headquarters of the US Pacific Fleet.
The generals who commanded the naval battle were all well-known naval stalwarts in Japan and the United States, with Isoroku Yamamoto and Tadaichi Nagumo on the Japanese side leading the Pearl Harbor attack and Nimitz and Spruance on the American side.
Nimitz was named a first-class aircraft carrier by the U.S. Navy after him, called a Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, and Spruance's name, named a first-class destroyer, called a Spruance-class guided missile destroyer.
It was also because of this naval battle that the Japanese navy suffered heavy losses, changed from strategic offensive to strategic defense, and changed its previous attitude towards the Wang puppet government in the occupied areas of China.
