Ono Nakasa’s words revealed an important message. The Japanese Army was ready to launch another attack. The strategic bombing carried out jointly by the Navy and the Army did not frighten the Yamashiro government in two years, and the top-secret bombing plan carried out by the Japanese Army Air Force failed. In the end, apart from taking military actions, the Japanese army is now exhausted.

However, the Third Flying Regiment of the Army Aviation Corps evacuated Jiangcheng Airport as planned, leaving only a small portion of its forces. This indicates that the scale of the Japanese attack will certainly not be too large.

"Does the army want to launch a strategic offensive and prepare to occupy the Chiang Tong District by force and completely resolve this war?" Chen Mingxiang asked deliberately, holding a glass.

A strategic offensive is absolutely impossible. Japan is facing a two-front battle, and it has occupied too much land in China, which has constrained a large number of troops. In addition, the domestic war resources have been consumed too much, and there is no such strength to launch a full-scale attack. The war in the Kuomintang Control Area.

The reason why he asked this was to hear the battle plan from Ono Nakasa's mouth, so as to give early warning to the Shancheng government.

"Although I don't know the specific action plan, the imperial army needs to open up a new battlefield in Southeast Asia. It does not have the 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 ninth theater of the Shancheng government. ."

"In response to the war triggered by the southward strategy, the Navy’s Second Joint Air Force, the 11th Air Fleet, has been transferred back to Japan, and the Army’s aviation force is also being mobilized on a large scale. The Third Flying Group is doing repairs in Beiping at any time. Ready to reinforce Southeast Asia." Ono Nakasa shook his head and said.

In order to end this time-consuming war as soon as possible, pull out its legs from the dilemma of increasing pressure and force the Shancheng government to surrender by military action, dispatching the 11th Army under the army headquarters to prepare to attack Tan in Xiang Province. State, this is the scope of the ninth theater of the Shancheng government.

The combat plan was actually completed in August and was approved by the Japanese military. It was called a plus operation. The Japanese army began a secret assembly in mid-August. The intelligence agencies of the Ninth Theater did not notice this.

In China’s front fleet, it was also ordered to cooperate with the 11th Army. As the chief officer of the intelligence agency, Ono Nakasa certainly knew what was going on.

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

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

The ninth battle zone of the Shancheng government is under the jurisdiction of southern Hubei province and Hunan and Jiangxi provinces. The commander is Chen Cheng, an important military and political officer. Because of his multiple roles, Xue Yue acted as the commander.

The commander of the 11th Army of the Japanese Army is Anan Keiji. Due to the blind command of the former commander Sonobu Kazuichiro, he was defeated in the Kamigao Campaign. In April this year, he took over the post of commander, and his combat scope is also Hunan Province. , Hubei and Jiangxi provinces.

However, the scope of the three provinces is too large, and there are many targets to choose from. Chen Mingxiang cannot think of the main direction of the Japanese attack this time.It is impossible to infer the military actions of the Japanese army through a vague message.

He received professional training for special agents. He did not receive military training. The Military Manpower Bureau did not have this ability. Intelligence analysis is a basic course, but the information he currently receives is not enough to support analysis and judgment. In addition, he is not a general who leads troops to fight. It is normal not to get results.

"Chen Jun, I will take you to meet with Commander Furukawa Peak I, so that your Excellency will have an impression of you. He has made so many contributions to the Imperial Navy and deserves this kind of honor." Major General Song Zhi came over and said.

At the request of Daisuke Nakajima of the Marine Corps Command, Chen Mingxiang promised to provide the command with 2,000 shi rice as rations every month, which solved the most troublesome problem of the command. For this, Major General Matsue was very satisfied.

The key is that the navy is wealthy. The market price per stone is two hundred fiat currency, while Nakajima Dazuo gave a price of two hundred and fifty fiat currency. Chen Mingxiang's price from the Qingxiang Committee is extremely low, and he can earn at least three yuan per month. One hundred thousand legal tender.

I thought that the commander of the dignified front fleet and the lieutenant admiral would at best be perfunctory to a small person like himself in the army gendarmerie system, and he was not a person of the same level.

Unexpectedly, under the detailed introduction of Lieutenant General Tsuda Shizue and Major General Matsue, Furukawamine, a high-ranking commander, was very enthusiastic about his attitude. Not only did he take the initiative to shake hands and talk for more than ten minutes, He also drank two glasses of wine and took a picture.

In Furukawa's words, he highly appreciated Chen Mingxiang's outstanding contribution to the Imperial Navy, and promised that the navy would fully support him in seeking higher development and would also provide convenience for his maritime transportation of materials.

Chen Mingxiang is now very mature and sophisticated, and naturally he heard the hidden meaning of Fengyi Gu He was to continue to support the navy's supplies. It was for this special reason that he received such "high treatment."

After finally getting rid of this group of senior Japanese navy generals, 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 the puppet government of Wang and the Shanghai Municipal Government, he congratulated Furukawa Fengyi on his appointment as the commander of the front fleet. He watched the chats between Chen Mingxiang and Furukawa Fengyi and others. He was also very surprised by the importance the Japanese Navy attaches to Chen Mingxiang. This is rare. phenomenon.

"Your Excellency Mayor, please don't make fun of me. People are willing to give me such a big face. It is pure food and supplies. I am now in a dilemma. No matter the army or the navy, I can't offend anyone. I'm afraid it will be uncomfortable." Chen Mingxiang said with a wry smile.

"When it comes to food, the current situation in the Shanghai stock market is very severe. The amount of rice imported is declining day by day, and it has become a problem for citizens to eat. The price has risen all the way, which has seriously damaged the reputation of the government."

"After the decision of the Central Committee of the Jinling Government, the Food Management Committee under the Executive Yuan will organize public affairs in a number of cities with severe food shortages. The Shanghai Stock Exchange will also set up a food management committee. I have decided that Ling Xianwen, the director of your Social Bureau, will serve. "

"The Food Management Committee of the Executive Yuan only granted 36,000 packages of rice to our special municipal government. The quantity is far from enough. I demand that these public rice be used to win the hearts of the people for the government. It must not become the welfare of all agencies. , So, this is also an offensive job."

"Originally, I wanted you to be the president. After careful consideration, don't intervene in the affairs of the father-in-law. There are many people staring at it." Chen Gongbo said.
