Chapter 488: Climbing New Heights Four

This spying on the movements of the Japanese army was simply unprecedentedly smooth, is this because the senior generals of the Japanese army have no concept of secrecy? Obviously impossible!

Chen Mingxiang's two-year-long network of contacts played a decisive role at a critical time, and if Chen Mingxiang had not portrayed himself as a loyal follower of the Japanese invaders and had not delivered strategic materials to the Japanese army in large quantities, he would never have achieved this achievement.

From top to bottom, it was Ying Zuo Zhenzhao of the Mei Agency at the beginning, who conveyed the material procurement instructions to Chen Mingxiang, if the relationship between the two sides was not harmonious, how could Ying Zuo Zhenzhao show him the original list of materials? And how did he know that the Japanese military headquarters had newly formed the 14th Army?

During the cracking of the first district of the military command in Shanghai, Chen Mingxiang gave Nanzao Yunzi an idea, and he cut a piece of the big cake from the secret service headquarters, and Nanzao Yunzi temporarily relaxed his vigilance.

The relationship between the two is usually not bad, he is one of the few men who can be looked down on by this female spy, although he is still a little suspicious, he does not regard him as an enemy.

Therefore, Chen Mingxiang also learned from the mouth of Nanzao Yunzi about Masashi Maeda, head of the special service of the Ministry of War in Shanghai, as the chief of staff of the 14th Army.

When Chen Mingxiang gave gifts during the New Year's holidays, he always had a copy of the special agency of the Ministry of the Army in Shanghai, and he was also very familiar with Masashi Maeda.

Coupled with the work of the Foreign Affairs Office, he often needed to interface with this secret agency, so that he could easily enter Masami Maeda's office and see vital confidential information.

More importantly, if Masashi Maeda had not served as the chief of staff of the Japanese Fourteenth Army and had not inspected Figuine more than ten years ago, the office would not be full of operational secrets.

If Chen Mingxiang hadn't planned to give Maeda Masashi a bait and give cigarettes to the 16th Division, he wouldn't have been able to create an opportunity to eat together.

Don't think that giving away some high-value luxuries, Masashi Maeda appreciates it, and don't look at a Japanese lieutenant general so shallowly.

"Chen Jun, I invited you over this time to trouble you to help the navy provide a batch of supplies, this is a list of types and quantities, you don't seem to have a rest?" Major General Matsuzhi said.

Sure enough, as soon as Chen Mingxiang got up in the morning and went to work, he was called to the Marine Corps headquarters by Ono Nakasa's phone, and he obviously felt the tense atmosphere, the officers and men of the Marine Corps seemed to be preparing to enter the concession, and the yard was full of cars.

Last night, after drinking and returning to the Bank of China, Chen Mingxiang was in his garden house, and he didn't close his eyes until dawn, repeatedly scrutinizing the information he obtained.

The reason why he did not send a telegram to Boss Dai was because although he knew about the dynamics of the Japanese Army, the Navy had not yet collected any information.

Masami Maeda said that the Navy and the Army are acting together, and there is no confirmation from the Navy, and he still needs to verify the information.

"The task given by the Mei organ is too hasty, and the preparation time is seriously insufficient, I have to find a way to complete the indicators of the General Headquarters of the Dispatch Army, Your Excellency the General is looking for me for the Second Fleet's upcoming combat mission and the need to replenish supplies, right?" Chen Mingxiang lit a cigar and said.

Got information from Masashi Maeda, and he turned over his hand to cover the words of Major General Matsuue, this method is now playing perfectly!

"It seems that you already know the layout of the base camp, the people on the army side really lack a sense of secrecy, of course, Chen Jun is naturally an exception, I am indeed looking for you for the matter of the second fleet."

"You also know very well that the United States, Great Britain, and the Netherlands have imposed embargo sanctions on the Japanese Empire, which is a mortal threat to the Navy, and the domestic reserves of oil can only last for a year and a half, and the empire must break the blockade of Western countries for its own destiny, therefore, the resources of Southeast Asia, especially oil, are needed."

"Since you want to tear your face with Britain and the United States, you don't have to think about the reaction of the British government, Chen Jun, you are a smart person, you must have guessed the truth of the matter, and I won't hide it from you, the southward expansion strategy that has been debated for a long time will soon be implemented."

"The Imperial Navy does not yet need a fleet to assist in the war in Southeast Asia, but there are still British and American forces in China, and these threats must be eliminated."

"According to the operational deployment of the base camp, the second fleet of the side fleet needs to assist the 23rd Army in Huacheng to carry out a mission, I don't know the specific time, as for the target, I can't say it, you can speculate on it yourself."

"It's not difficult to need your help to procure materials, half of them are in terms of life, after all, Huacheng can't compare with the Shanghai market, the market is relatively short of materials, and the level of the Imperial Navy is much higher than that of the Army, and the required quantity and type must be completed before the twenty-fifth, and it cannot be discounted."

"Strategic materials such as tung oil, rosin and bristles are not so urgent, and they are completely timely according to the previous procurement cycle."

"Chen Jun, these words I said to you today, I must not say to the second person, in terms of payment settlement, you can go to the head of the Kodama Agency, he will give you a satisfactory price." Major General Matsuzhi said.

The major general of the Japanese Marine Corps was still very cautious and did not say the name of the port city himself, but as long as he was not too stupid, he could get the result.

"Thank you for your trust in me, please rest assured, I will never say a word of today to the two of you, otherwise please shoot me to show my loyalty to the empire!" Chen Mingxiang said conclusively.

Paralyzed, I know what you said, what I want to hear is the news of the Combined Fleet, you can say a few words!

I've always been a man of promises, so I'm going to talk to a lot of people, and it's definitely a lot of words.

"Now that you know the military deployment and battle plan of the Japanese army, why do you delay reporting to the bureau headquarters and have to send this telegram yourself?" Wang Zhen looked at Chen Mingxiang and felt very incomprehensible.

Chen Mingxiang's behavior of spying on the Japanese army's intelligence this time was very abnormal, and not only did he not tell her the details of the intelligence, but also said that he would personally send a telegram to the bureau headquarters.

Of course, Wang Zhen would not think that Chen Mingxiang was afraid that she would share the credit, her biggest duty was to send a message to Chen Mingxiang, which was also the mission given to her by Boss Dai, to protect the safety of strategic agents, even if she sacrificed her own life.

"The weight of this information is too heavy, and the impact is too great, once the Yamashiro government notifies the US government, but the matter does not happen according to my report, the consequences are not something that I can bear as a lieutenant colonel, you better stay away."

"It's not that I don't trust you, but I love you and don't want you to be implicated! Finally, I have some achievements during the incubation period, and now the Military Command Bureau still needs me to carry out follow-up tasks, even if I make an intelligence mistake, Boss Dai will not really punish me. Chen Mingxiang said with a frown.
