Ono Nakasa's remarks revealed an important message, the Japanese army was ready to attack again, the navy and the army jointly carried out a strategic bombing, but for two years did not intimidate the Yamashiro government, and the Japanese army aviation carried out a top-secret bombing plan also ended in failure, and the Japanese army was now exhausted except for military action.

However, the 3rd Flying Regiment of the Army Aviation Corps withdrew from Jiangcheng Airport as planned, leaving only a small part of its forces, which indicates that the scale of the Japanese attack launched this time will definitely not be too large.

"Is the army going to launch a strategic offensive and prepare to occupy Chiang's area by force and settle this war once and for all?" Chen Mingxiang asked deliberately with a wine glass.

A strategic offensive is absolutely impossible, Japan is facing a two-front war, and it has occupied too much land in China, pinning down a large number of troops, and in addition, the consumption of domestic war resources is too huge, and it does not have the strength to launch a full-scale war against the nationalized areas.

The reason why he asked this was to hear the battle plan from Ono Nakasa's mouth, so that he could warn the Yamashiro government in time.

"Although I don't know the specific plan of action, but at the moment the imperial army needs to open up a new battlefield in Southeast Asia, and there is no ability to attack the Chiang Tong area on a large scale, this time it is a small-scale battle between the 11th Army of the Army and the 9th Theater of the Yamashiro Government."

"In order to deal with the war caused by the southward expansion strategy, the Navy's Second Combined Air Force, that is, the Eleventh Air Fleet, has been transferred back to Japan, the army aviation is also being mobilized on a large scale, and the Third Flight Group is being repaired in Beiping, ready to reinforce Southeast Asia at any time." Ono Nakasa shook his head and said.

In order to end this long-lasting war as soon as possible, pull out the legs from the predicament of increasing pressure, force the Shancheng government to surrender with military action, and send the 11th Army under the army headquarters to prepare to attack Tanzhou in Hunan Province, which is within the scope of the ninth theater of the Shancheng government.

In fact, the battle plan was already drawn up in August, and was approved by the Japanese military department, and it was called Operation Plus, and the Japanese army began to assemble secretly in mid-August, but the intelligence agencies of the Ninth Theater were not aware of it.

On the Chinese side, the fleet was also ordered to cooperate with the 11th Army's operations, and Ono Nakasa, as the chief officer of the intelligence agency, of course knew what was going on.

Due to the military's principle of secrecy, relevant military secrets cannot be divulged, but due to the contradictions between the navy and the army, and the very good personal relationship with Chen Mingxiang, absolute secrecy has not been achieved.

Although these words were very general and the main points were not said, it was a small-scale battle between the Eleventh Army and the Ninth Theater that aroused Chen Mingxiang's vigilance, and the general direction was already very clear.

The jurisdiction of the Ninth Theater of the Shancheng Government is the southern part of Hubei Province and Hunan and Jiangxi Provinces, and the commander is Chen Cheng, a military and political dignitary.

The commander of the 11th Army of the Japanese Army was Anami Yuji, who was defeated in the Battle of Shanggao due to the blind command of his predecessor, Kazuichiro Sonobe, and he took over the post of commander in April this year, and the scope of operations was also Hunan Province, Hubei Province, and Jiangxi Province.

However, the scope of the three provinces was too large, and there were many targets to choose from, and Chen Mingxiang could not think of where the main direction of the Japanese attack was this time. It is simply impossible to deduce the military operations of the Japanese army through a vague message.

He received professional training in the field of agents, not military training, and the Military Command Bureau did not have this ability, intelligence analysis is a basic course, but the current information is not enough to support analysis and judgment, plus he is not a general who leads troops to fight, it is normal to not get results.

"Jun Chen, I will take you to meet with the First Commander of Guhe Peak, so that Your Excellency can have an impression of you, you have made so many contributions to the Imperial Navy, and you deserve this honor." Major General Matsuzhi came over and said.

At the request of Nakajima Daisa, the Marine Corps Headquarters, Chen Mingxiang promised to provide the headquarters with 2,000 stone of rice every month as military rations, thus solving the most troublesome problem for the headquarters at present.

The key is that the navy has a lot of money, and the market price per stone of rice is 200 legal currency, while Nakajima Daizo gave a price of 250 legal currency, and Chen Mingxiang took the price from the Qingxiang Committee at very low, and he can earn at least 300,000 legal currency per month.

Originally, I thought that the commander of the fleet of the front side who was dignified and a vice admiral was at most perfunctory to a small person like him who was mixed in the army gendarmerie system, and he was not a person of the same level at all.

Unexpectedly, under the detailed introduction of Lieutenant General Shizue Tsuda and Major General Matsuue, Furukawa Mineichi, a high-ranking commander, was very enthusiastic about him, not only took the initiative to shake hands and talk with him for more than ten minutes, but also drank two glasses of wine and took a photo.

In his words, Furukawa Mineichi highly praised Chen Mingxiang's outstanding contributions to the Imperial Navy, and promised that the navy would fully support him in seeking higher development, and would also provide convenient conditions for his transportation of materials at sea.

Chen Mingxiang is now very mature and sophisticated, and naturally he also heard the hidden meaning of Furukawa Fengyi, which is to ask him to continue to support the supply of materials for the navy, which is why he has received such a "high treatment".

Finally getting rid of this group of senior generals of the Japanese Navy, Chen Mingxiang saw Mo Guokang not far away and waved his hand at him.

"Ming Xiang, it seems that the commander of the fleet admires you very much!" Chen Gongbo said with a smile.

On behalf of Wang's puppet government and the puppet Shanghai city government, he congratulated Furukawa on his appointment as commander of the front fleet, saw the small talk between Chen Mingxiang and Furukawa Fengichi and others, and was also very surprised by the Japanese navy's importance to Chen Mingxiang.

"Your Excellency Mayor, don't make fun of me, people are willing to give me such a big face, it's purely food and materials to make trouble, I'm in a dilemma now, whether it's the army or the navy, I can't afford to offend anyone, I'm afraid it will be uncomfortable in the future." Chen Mingxiang said with a wry smile.

"When it comes to food, the situation in Shanghai is very grim now, the import of rice is decreasing day by day, and it has become a problem for citizens to eat, and prices have risen all the way, which has seriously ruined the reputation of the government."

"After the decision of the Central Committee of the Jinling Government, the Grain Management Committee under the Executive Yuan will organize the public procurement in a number of cities with serious food shortages, and the Shanghai City will also set up a grain management committee, and I have decided to be the director of your Social Affairs Bureau, Ling Xianwen."

"The Grain Management Committee of the Executive Yuan has only approved 36,000 bales of rice to our special municipal government, which is far from enough, and I demand that these public rice be truly used to win the hearts and minds of the people for the government, and must not become the welfare of various organs, so this is also an errand that offends people."

"Originally, I wanted you to be the president, but after careful consideration, don't meddle in the affairs of Gong Guangmi, there are many people staring at it from all sides." Chen Gongbo said.
