Kodama, Shifu and Ono Nakasa could nod slightly to Nanzo Yunzi, but to Lin Shaozuo, they didn't even say hello, and turned around with a grunt and went into the hall.

The navy never buys the army’s account, and Chen Mingxiang is now the main supplier of the navy. He has purchased a large amount of bristles, tung oil, rosin, grain, etc., so that the two of them lost a lot of benefits and won the award from the navy command. .

Although the Japanese despised the Chinese, with long-term contact, the two also regarded Chen Mingxiang as loyal and reliable friends, but they were not so pure.

Lin Shaozuo actually snatched the power of the inspection team and gave the power of Chen Mingxiang to the Japanese consultant, which greatly affected the smuggling business of the Kodama agency, and naturally did not get a good face.

"Chen Jun, congratulations on the grand listing of your Foreign Affairs Office. I brought some Japanese specialties as a gift for celebration." Minister Tsuda Shizue of the Central China Liaison Department actually came in person.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Excellency, your presence has made the Foreign Affairs Office shine and brought precious gifts from the empire. I am ashamed!" Chen Mingxiang said.

"You are the most loyal friend of the empire and a good friend of the navy. The Foreign Affairs Office under your leadership will have many contacts with the Central China Liaison Department of the Xingya Institute. This is what it should be."

"I hope that Chen Jun will continue to provide support to the navy, especially in the second half of the year. It is best to focus on it. The navy needs your help. The powerful imperial fleet has been silent for too long. We should also let the sloppy armies see who is talented. It's the emperor's elite." Tsuda Shizue said.

This remark came from a reserve navy admiral, and the credibility must be higher. Chen Mingxiang vaguely felt that the Japanese navy was about to launch military operations in Southeast Asia and Southeast Asia.

"Your Excellency General!" Lin Shaozuo, who was standing in the distance, hurried over and bowed and said.

Unfortunately, Shizue Tsuda didn't bother to talk to him. The Japanese army is hierarchical, let alone a lieutenant, even if it is a major or major general, you have to bow your head when you encounter a lieutenant general. This is an internal game rule.

Lin Shaozuo, who was a little embarrassed, watched Nanzao Yunzi respectfully requesting Shizue Tsuda to go upstairs to rest. He felt as if he had been slapped and his face was hot. He did not expect Chen Mingxiang to have such a close relationship with the navy.

But the problem is that it won't work if he doesn't do this. The power behind it can help him up and kick him up. This is the ruthless reality. If you want to harvest, you must pay.

Chen Mingxiang didn't seem to care about the duty of the inspection team at all. During this time, apart from sitting in the office for a cup of tea, he did not make any movements. Ichiro Hirai had all the power, and there was no ripple, let alone the waves.

Li Shiqun, the secretary-general of the Qingxiang Committee and director of the secret service headquarters, and Lu Ying, the chief of the city police, followed the Qingqi. This is the force of the Mei organization.

Rear Admiral Kinoshita Sakae City of the Military Police Command and Major General Matsue of the Marine Corps Command did not show up unexpectedly. This shows their support for Chen Mingxiang.

Chen Mingxiang also knew that there was a deep conflict between the two sides, so he arranged the navy and army generals in different rooms. People didn’t have much time to stay here. The tea table was filled with tea, pastries and dried fruits. The big scene would have to wait until the evening. .

Immediately afterwards, Riddle, the general director of the board of directors of the public concession, and the Chief of Police Smythe arrived, followed by a group of directors.Katsuo Okaki from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Eiichi Shioii, the deputy consul general, also arrived, and finally Mayor Chen Gongbo appeared.

Chen Gongbo did not come alone. There were also important officials of the city government, acting secretary-general Hu Zewu, directors of various bureaus, district heads, county heads and commissioners of various counties. He was specially for Chen Mingxiang. , Expressing the importance and support of the Foreign Affairs Office.

"It's no wonder that Chen Mingxiang is in the Shanghai stock market. Look at this lineup. If a bomb explodes at this time, the operation of the Shanghai stock market will be paralyzed." Qi Qingbin exclaimed.

"More than that, the listing ceremony is at best a small scene. I heard that there will be a grand reception in the club of other industries in the evening. That is the most important thing. There will be senior generals appearing every day. , It's a pity, the level of alert is too tight, and there is no chance to start." Chen Gongshu said.

Chen Mingxiang's thoughts are no longer at the listing ceremony. He has received the information that Japan is about to start a war against Britain and the United States, and has been thinking about it all the time.

These high-ranking navy officials were very strict and did not reveal any clear clues. There is no doubt that the Japanese army will start a war, but the next work is the focus.

When the war was launched, which country in Southeast Asia was targeted, which unit was responsible for the offensive, and how the navy and the army coordinated operations, these were all top-secret information he needed to know.

Whether it is Shizue Tsuda, Kodama and Shifu, or Ono Nakasa, they have been emphasizing the logistics and material support. The war will not start in the near future. This is a preparatory stage. They may not know whether to fight or not, but the preparations are. unmissable.

Chen Mingxiang suddenly thought that the United States and Britain would impose trade sanctions on Japan next month. Perhaps this was the main reason for the war. Japan’s resources could not keep up with the consumption of the war.

"Ladies and gentlemen, good morning, everyone. I am very happy to witness the important moment for the establishment of the Foreign Affairs Liaison Office of the Shanghai Special Municipal Government..." Chen Gongbo took the speech and stood in front of the door. Speak.

There is nothing new, nothing more than clichés, talking about the diplomatic strategy of the puppet government, praising the "help" of the Japanese aggressors, and the actual support of the foreign affairs office of the municipal government, but these words cannot be ignored. The reporters who have been contacted earlier are still waiting to take pictures and issue press releases!

Riddle, the chief director of the Board of Directors of the Ministry of Industry and Engineering of the Concession, gave a brief speech upon invitation, and Eiichi Shioi, the deputy consul general of the Japanese Consulate General in Shanghai, also made speeches, which are all standard official entertainment languages.

Afterwards, the six people including Tsuda Shizue, Kinoshita Sakae, Major General Matsue, Hideichi Shioi, Riddle and Chen Mingxiang pulled down the red silk for the sign of the Foreign Affairs Office, and the ceremony was over.

Everyone knows that this morning’s event is just a simple cutscene, and the reception held in the evening is the focus. With Chen Mingxiang’s style of work, it will definitely be very luxurious.

For this reason, the high-ranking Japanese officials and officials from the Ministry of Industry of the Concession did not attend the lunch hosted by the municipal government, but they all agreed to attend the reception at night.

This is the first social event that the Foreign Affairs Office has invited foreign guests to participate in after its establishment. In addition to high-level Japanese officials, senior consulate-general officials from various countries will also attend. After all, the Foreign Affairs Office is an official institution that connects with the Shanghai Municipal Government. Attention.

Chen Mingxiang took this matter as the first priority. After the ceremony, he went to the club of the Bank of China to check the preparations in detail.
