Wind spy

The Military Manpower Bureau fought the Japanese and puppets by force in the Shanghai Stock Exchange. After the Shanghai First District and the Shanghai Special Operations Corps were successively destroyed, several leaders were either arrested for rebellion or placed under house arrest. They have basically died down, except for the Loyalty Salvation Army. Several guerrillas are still fighting in the suburbs of Shanghai.

In terms of intelligence, in addition to a few hidden working groups, the station directly under the leadership of Chen Mingxiang is currently the main intelligence force of the Military Statistics Bureau in Shanghai. In addition to collecting military and political intelligence, it also serves as the exchange of scarce materials for the National Control Area and the headquarters of the bureau. The task of funding.

The withdrawal of Li Shiqun's secret agent headquarters from Shanghai and relocation to Hangzhou means that the spy system of the Wang puppet government has abandoned the Shanghai market and the situation is handed over to the Shanghai gendarmerie headquarters and the police station.

Under the "leadership" of Chen Mingxiang, the Shanghai Experimental Zone of the Secret Service Headquarters has become a group of gangsters with only money in their eyes, and they are not interested in intelligence and arrest operations.

Chen Mingxiang could neither use the military censorship bureau or the central censorship bureau's personnel in Shanghai, nor could he deal with the underground party. He had no other means besides using money to clear the way and vigorously building his own intelligence network.

Intelligence is collected little by little from daily contacts. The prerequisite is that there must be a basis for contact, and no interest is used as a link. Why should he establish relations with Japanese generals?

But for important top-secret information, the higher the rank and position, the greater the possibility of knowing the information. The benefits are more effective than the human sentiments, and the more able to reduce people's alertness.

"Thank you Chen Jun for the present to the Consulate General, and I wish you a happy New Year. Tonight, our Consulate General will hold a New Year reception. The fruit you transported from Nanyang is very popular. If there are more, I will send some more." Consul General Horiuchi Yujo said with a smile.

For him, the so-called luxury consumer goods such as cigars and red wine are not in his eyes. This time Chen Mingxiang came to him for New Year's greetings and brought him the basis for future cooperation, a large box of dollar bills!

"I would like to thank the Consul General for your strong support. After the cancellation of the Xingya Institute, all the cooperation agreements signed between me and the Central China Liaison Department have not been affected by this incident. This is entirely your deliberate care for me." Chen Mingxiang said.

After the Central China Liaison Department of the Xingya Institute was abolished, all the functions were handed over to the Consulate General in Shanghai, and the power of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs rose with the tide. Therefore, there is a deep interest between the two people.

After the handover work was completed, Horiuchi Yujo did not raise any objections to the secret agreement between the companies under Chen Mingxiang’s name and the Central China Liaison Department of the Koyoa Institute. He continued to operate according to the original conditions. In return, Chen Mingxiang took the original Ota Taiji's share was transferred to Horiuchi Yujo.

"Whether it's briquettes or salt, your job is to serve the empire. The social order of the Shanghai stock market is stable, and the army's logistics support can be smooth. This is also my duty."

"Chen Jun, I want to remind you one thing. Although Japanese businessmen are too self-interested, their greedy behavior interferes with the affairs of the government and the military, but you have to know that they and the army are an inseparable whole. There is a high degree of dependence, you'd better not do things too terribly." Horiuchi Yujo said.

This is bound to be the Japanese coal merchants who can't hold it anymore, begging the consul general to reconcile, and the consulate general in Shanghai also has its own considerations. It must rely on the Japanese chaebols to provide supplies for the country and the army. That's why he said this.

"Your Excellency, the Consul General, I didn't mean to fight against these Japanese businessmen. It wasn't my business. I had to do so at the request of the Garrison Command, Central China Liaison Department, Gendarmerie Command and the city government."

"You should understand the style of these people very well. If you don’t receive a profound lesson and suffer heart-wrenching pains, it will be more difficult to restrain in the future. Of course, all of this comes from your wishes. I can stop taking them at any time. Action." Chen Mingxiang said.

Although Japanese businessmen engaged in business operations in China for a long time, it is accurate to say that they followed the steps of Japanese aggression and went deep into China step by step, because all kinds of resources in the occupied areas were opened to them at low prices or free of charge.

Greed is endless. It is precisely because of such privileged status that stronger ambitions have bred, and even threatened the interests of the military. For example, this coal shortage incident is the best example.

The Japanese government and the military want to maintain the stability of the Shanghai stock market and use this leading industrial city in China to send more supplies to the war. However, the chaebols did not even let go of the necessities of the people’s livelihood, and wanted to engage in hoarding and earn money. more money.

"Don't worry, the consulate general in Shanghai absolutely supports you. This matter is also required by the cabinet and the military. The social stability of the Shanghai stock market must be maintained, and the behavior of the chaebols must not cause turmoil. You plan to sell 100,000 tons of coal. correct."

"At the reception tonight, I will arrange for you to meet with a few Japanese businessmen. When the Chinese New Year is over, you can jointly operate the coal market."

"There is something to tell you in advance. In order to prevent foreign nationals in the Shanghai concession from secretly participating in sabotage activities against the empire, the cabinet and the military decided to set up a concentrated residential area in the Shanghai market and move all the overseas Chinese and missionaries in. Isolation from the outside world makes it easy to manage and prevent."

"This action started in mid-February. By that time, the public concession will vacate a large amount of real estate and personal assets. You have made outstanding contributions to the empire, and you must also enjoy the resources of the empire. You can choose some of them. "Horiuchi Yujo said.

This is Chen Mingxiang’s return for giving him money. The assets of the British and American expatriates are also imperial property if they are confiscated. They are either sealed up or used by the Japanese. He will not get any benefit. It is better to give Chen Mingxiang some benefits, which also reflects that he takes it. "Personality" is no problem with money.

What bullshit concentrated residential area is the notorious concentration camp!

Chen Mingxiang deeply felt the vicious heart of the Japanese. The concentration camp is a hell. It is estimated that many people will die when the war of resistance is won!

He didn’t care about the real estate and personal assets of the British and American expatriates. At this time, he was thinking about how to save their lives. From the Japanese occupation of the public concession to the present, in order to find an umbrella for himself in the future, he did a lot of work secretly. A large number of wealthy businessmen were sent away, and then they had to provide food and supplies every month, so the effort should not be wasted.

After leaving the consulate-general in Shanghai, Chen Mingxiang drove to Riddle's house. Since things are unavoidable, they have to find a way to deal with them and inform them in advance. Many arrangements can be made in more than a month.
