Wind spy

"I've heard that the female agent Kojima Chengzi, she investigated Chen Jun, and there should be no waves. This also shows that Chen Jun's activities are suspicious. What is the conclusion of the Manchurian Railway Investigation Department?" Kasahara asked Yukio.

Although he does not believe that Chen Mingxiang will be an agent of the Military Manpower Bureau, as the chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, he must trust the investigation by the intelligence department. This is a matter of principle.

However, he didn't make a fuss. The instructions given to the Investigation Department of the Manchurian Railway were to seek truth from facts, not to speculate.

Chen Mingxiang is not a member of the Kwantung Army. He is behind the dispatch army headquarters. If Shunroku Hata becomes popular, Umezu Mijiro will have to walk around. His background and strength are much harder.

"The Investigation Department of the Manchurian Railway has conducted a careful analysis of the large amount of information collected, and believes that Chen Jun is indeed in close contact with the Military Control Bureau. This is an undeniable fact. Otherwise, the imperial army in Central China has obtained more than one billion yuan worth of How did he smuggle strategic materials?"

"To say that Chen Mingxiang is an agent of the Military Unification Bureau, at least until the goal is unsubstantiated, Chen Jun's approach may be to bet on both sides, and his scope of activities is limited to smuggling. More appropriately, he is a typical speculative businessman. Follow the direction of the wind."

"The Shanghai Stock Exchange Investigation Institute of the Manchurian Railway Investigation Department believes that in terms of his style of work, it is also difficult to explain. When he encounters intelligence, he will evade when he encounters actions. All those who are linked are false positions. He does not want to be promoted and just wants to make a fortune. Many large-scale enterprises have been established in Central China, and their own industries are increasing. If the special agents of the Military Recombination Bureau are like this, the empire will be relieved."

"The intelligence department based in Shanghai has investigated him once or twice. He is eating in such an environment. How many eyes are staring at him. There hasn't been a single mistake in these years. The investigation department of the Manchurian Railway does not believe that there is any mistake. Such a powerful agent," Takeda said.

Yukio Kasahara was relieved immediately. The conclusions of the Manchurian Railways Investigation Department still have sufficient weight. He also knows that the Military Manpower Bureau relies on smuggling to obtain funds. In this regard, Chen Mingxiang may be the agent chosen by the Military Manpower Bureau, but at the same time, he is also Smuggling agent of the Imperial Army in Central China.

It is normal for military control agents to hide in a certain intelligence agency to collect information, but if Chen Mingxiang is a military control agent, that would be too outrageous!

He owns Huatong Trading Company, Haiyuan Salt Industry Company and Yuchang Coal Company. There are more than a dozen enterprises including textile mills, silk reeling plants, silk weaving plants, tea plants, tobacco plants, briquettes plants and shipping companies. Tea shops and silk and satin shops are estimated to have assets of more than 100 million yuan, right? Such people are military agents?

"This behavior of betting on both sides is understandable for Chen Jun. It comes from the businessman's instinct, plus he is originally a Chinese and will not be 100% loyal to the empire."

"Even among the personnel of our empire, there are many unreliable, such as those greedy chaebols, such as those Japanese underground parties that betray the country, this is not surprising."

"Since he is good at speculative business, as long as the headquarters gives him generous benefits, it can also be used by us. I like such people." Kasahara said with a smile.

It is quite normal to make a lot of money during the war. There are not a few people who do this. People with shortcomings are the easiest to control and the most reassuring.

Chen Mingxiang took Takada Akiko and returned from the club to the house in the Japanese overseas residential area in Xinjing. The girl's expression was not panic, but a little uneasy.

Along the way, he carefully considered this matter several times, combined with what Furuno Yoshitake said just now, and probably understood something, and he was not so depressed. Even if she was an intelligence officer, what about?

"Ms. Takada, please sit down. Please don't be restrained when you come to my house. Since the generals have arranged, you will come to take care of the housework according to the working hours at the Yamato Hotel in the future!"

"My main business is in Central China, which is in the south of the Yangtze River in the eyes of ordinary people. The number of visits to Xinjing is very limited. Sometimes I can't come once a month. This house is up to you." Chen Mingxiang said.

Since the last time he left, the people in the Xinjing branch have adjusted the furnishings in the house according to his wishes. The living room has replaced Western-style furniture such as sofas, coffee tables, and wine cabinets, and has also laid exquisite carpets to save the entrance. I had to change the clogs, and the bedroom was replaced with a wooden bed. I was not used to sleeping on tatami mats.

Although it had just entered November, there was already heating in the house, and the temperature had to be at least about 20 degrees, which made Chen Mingxiang feel uncomfortable.

"Chen Jun may have misunderstood. I am not an agent sent by the Kwantung Army to supervise you. I am just an ordinary Yamato hotel attendant. Major General Yoshitake Furuno thinks that you have worked hard to exchange supplies for the Kwantung Army, so I want me to take care of your life. , Did not accept other missions."

"My family used to be in Kamakura, Kanagawa Prefecture. It was a very beautiful city. My father was a businessman, but went bankrupt due to poor management. The family moved to Shinkyo under the imperial immigration policy. In addition to their parents, there are two younger sisters and A younger brother opened a small grocery store in Xinjing to make ends meet."

"I went to school in Xinjing. After graduating from high school, I stayed at home for two years. Then I went to the Yamato Hotel as a waiter. I was the first place in every internal assessment. I was fortunate to serve the generals of the empire with tea and wine. The second time, I was promoted to a senior waiter by the hotel. Major General Yoshitake Furuno had a little impression of me, and he appointed me for this selection." Akiko Takada said with a gentle smile.

Yamato Hotel is an industry of South Manchuria Railway Co., Ltd. It is a chain of high-end hotels. Senior military officers and high-level government officials are used to gathering here or organizing events. The hotel staff is naturally one of a thousand.

Since Akiko Takada works in such an environment, her reaction is definitely much sharper than that of ordinary people. She has already felt that Chen Mingxiang is worried about her identity.

Since the September 18th Incident, Japan has emigrated a large number of people from the territory of the pseudo-Manchuria, similar to the experience of the Takada family, which is simply countless, but Chen Mingxiang will not easily believe her, and his mission is higher than his life. How can he give people trust at will?

Akiko Takada went to the kitchen to find the iron kettle, turned on the faucet and filled it with water, lit the gas to boil the kettle of water, and then cleaned the tea set. She made the tea pot skillfully, and her posture was very elegant. It can be seen that she was professionally trained.

During the chatting between the two, Chen Mingxiang also learned some things that the living conditions of the Gaotian family are not so good at present. Although they are much better than the Chinese people in the occupied areas, it is not a rich day.

Her father suffered from long-term alcoholism due to business failure. He had a bad liver and had no job.My mother is overworked, and now she is in poor health and needs medicine all the year round.

After graduating from middle school, one younger sister entered the Manchurian Railway headquarters as an ordinary typist. Another younger sister was guarding the grocery store at home, while the younger brother was still in school.

Ordinarily, the two people have jobs and small businesses at home. The income should be reasonable. However, the parents’ medical expenses consume most of the monthly income. Together with the daily expenses, the life is also very stressful.
