Chapter 713: New Beijing Trip
Lu Kunyu returned to China from the United States at the end of the 29th year of the Republic of China, and then went to the base area to study, and now it is September of the 31st year of the Republic of China, and he and Chen Mingxiang have not seen each other for almost two years.
"I know what you mean, according to this request, it is not too much, Comrade Lu Kunyu withdrew to the Guannei, for the safety of the two of them, she still has to stay in the base area, she can't meet with Chen Mingxiang, I will report to my superiors, there should be no problem." The team leader said.
According to general logic, Lu Kunyu is the assistant of a latent comrade of the underground party, and the identities of the two are closely related, aren't you worried that it will leak secrets?
No matter how well Lu Kunyu disguises it, can he still deceive Chen Mingxiang?
According to this guy's strength and power, if you want to find out Lu Kunyu, it is a matter of time at most!
But Chen Mingxiang is not an enemy, he has long known that Lu Kunyu is an underground party, but he has never stopped it, and he has made so many important contributions to the underground party organizations and base areas in Shanghai, and there is still a degree of trust in this.
Similarly, according to normal logical thinking, Chen Mingxiang has arrived in Ice City, but the two can't meet, and they don't know when they will meet in the future, can Chen Mingxiang have no emotions?
The key is that Chen Mingxiang is not a member of the underground party, and there is no need to abide by the discipline of the underground party, no matter what, Lu Kunyu is his fiancée!
"Jun Chen, welcome to Xinjing!" Takeda Gong shook hands with Chen Mingxiang, who had just gotten off the plane, and said.
"His Excellency Dazuo personally came to the airport, I really dare not take it, thank you very much!" Chen Mingxiang bowed.
"What I should be thanking you for solving some practical difficulties for our Kwantung Army Headquarters, let's go, I'll take you to the headquarters first and meet General Umezu Mijiro, you don't have to be nervous, General Shun Hata praised you in front of him." Takeda said with a smile.
Umezu Mijiro was appointed commander of the Kwantung Army and ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary on September 7, 28 years of the Republic of China, and was promoted to army general on August 1, 29 years of the Republic of China.
The 60-year-old Umezu Mijiro belongs to the backbone of the Japanese Army's control faction, and in fact he is of the same faction as Hideki Tojo, Ninji Okamura, Kenji Dohihara, Seishiro Itagaki, and others.
But some things are not so simple, Okamura Ninji was transferred back to China to sit on the cold bench for a year because of his opposition to Seishiro Itagaki's strategy, and the two of them are of the same faction.
Okamura Ninji was the commander of the North China Front, but the relationship between the North China Political Affairs Committee and the puppet Manchukuo was incompatible, and the North China Front Army and the Kwantung Army also looked down on each other, so the relationship was very complicated.
Taking the car of the headquarters, Chen Mingxiang came to the Japanese Kwantung Army Headquarters, located in Kuancheng District, Xinjing, which was designed and supervised by the Kwantung Army Management Department, and the construction started in August of the 21st year of the Republic of China and was completed in August of the 23rd year of the Republic of China.
Above ground level is a three-story building, there is another floor underground, the part of the two wings of the main building is four floors, and the tower is five floors, with more than 200 rooms, which is the highest military and administrative command structure of the Japanese army in the puppet state of Manchukuo.
"Do you see it, that's where the gendarmerie headquarters is stationed, and at noon, I'll have a meal with Major General Haramori and Major General Saburo Shibuya." Takeda Gong pointed not far away and said.
Chen Mingxiang also noticed that the Japanese Kwantung Army Gendarmerie Headquarters, according to Takeda Gong's introduction, moved over in the 24th year of the Republic of China, which used to be the location of the Kwantung Army Headquarters, and later the Japanese Kwantung Bureau.
"Jun Chen, although I am in Manchukuo, I am no stranger to you, and being able to receive the second-class Ruibao Heavy Medal awarded by His Majesty the Emperor shows your contribution to the empire."
"With the help of the superior industrial and commercial resources of Shanghai, you smuggled a large number of strategic materials for the imperial army's troops in central China, especially tung oil and pig bristles, which accounted for a large proportion.
"The Kwantung Army has always been stationed in Manchukuo, the local resources are limited, and there is a great demand for strategic materials, especially the products and resources in the southern region of China.
"I know that although you have a lot of part-time jobs, you are still a businessman at heart, and businessmen are interest-oriented, I will give you some convenient conditions, business activities in Manchukuo, the Kwantung Army will protect them, and the exchange of materials will not let you suffer." Umezu Mijiro said.
This meeting ended in less than ten minutes, basically he was talking, Chen Mingxiang listened obediently, as a general of the Japanese Army and commander of the Kwantung Army, a small person like Chen Mingxiang, if he was not on a special mission, he would not be qualified to meet with him at all.
Umezu Mijiro's meaning is very straightforward, and he doesn't need to go around in circles to talk to the little people, as long as Chen Mingxiang can serve the Kwantung Army, then he can gain wealth and status in Manchukuo, this is a deal, a deal that is beneficial to both parties.
"How do you feel about Admiral Umezu?" Takeda said with a smile.
"Very kind, there is a feeling of approachability, how to say, like an elegant scholar, but not as domineering as a commander, which is quite rare." Chen Mingxiang said.
O wolf in sheep's clothing!
Of course, this cannot be said, and of course the main responsibility of this commander for the bad things done by the Kwantung Army outside the Guandong Army, but now it can only be falsely wronged.
"Chen Jun, the Xinjing branch of Huatong Trading Company is located in the area of the main road, as well as your tea house and silk village, the tea and beautiful silk from the south of the Yangtze River are very popular in Xinjing, and have gradually become the favorite shopping place for dignitaries and nobles, and I have asked the Xinjing gendarmerie to protect your industry." Major General Hara said with a smile.
"In the future, you will often come to Xinjing, and you must also have a place to live, I arranged a residence for you in the living area of the Japanese expatriates, which is very convenient for gas, water and electricity, and telephone, and arranged two cars for you." Saburo Shibuya said with a smile.
These two people are in a high position in the puppet Manchuria, Chen Mingxiang does not count the various gifts he gave, each of them smashed 100,000 US dollars in cash alone!
Eating people with short mouths and short hands, Major General Hara Mamoru and Major General Shibuya Saburo feel that it is a bit too much to take advantage of, and arranging some benefits is also a reward.
Xinjing was the capital of the puppet state of Manchukuo, and the Japanese also wanted to occupy it for a long time, so they drove the common people out of a frenzy and built a new city for themselves.
During the occupation, the so-called Xinjing was equipped with gas pipelines, water distribution pipelines, drainage pipes, 10 main roads, 73 secondary roads, 143 lanes, and 10 circular squares.
Five railway lines and six air lines, 45 public tram lines in the city, 10 parks, more than 43,000 new buildings, and a construction area of more than 7.7 million square meters have been opened.
Of course, it is the Japanese who can enjoy all this, but the Chinese people in Xinjing, under the iron hooves of the invaders, are living a life of hunger and cold.
