Wind spy

As one of the top secret agents in the Republic of China, Li Shiqun did have his own talent. When he was alert to threats due to the situation, he quickly launched self-help actions.

Mei’s agency is very cold towards him. The only hope at the moment is that Wang Jingwei can use the power of the mansion faction to protect himself. The new strategy of the Japanese government also provides a theoretical basis for this operation. As long as Wang Jingwei, whose status is increasing, is willing to come forward to protect him, he There will be no big problems.

However, as a condition of equivalent exchange, Wang Jingwei must hold the power of Jiangsu Province in the hands of the mansion faction. What he appreciates Li Shiqun is the leadership of the secret service agencies. In other words, as long as Li Shiqun is the director of the secret service headquarters honestly, With the rest of the power, he will definitely fight the Japanese for Li Shiqun's affairs.

"Minister, how did you think about it? If you want me to say, Chairman Wang has room for consideration. If you lose the mulberry, he will take away the richest province. He won't be without reward. At least he will give you other provincial chairmen. To make up, it’s just that it’s not as affordable as Jiangsu Province.” Chen Mingxiang said.

This choice is absolutely impossible. How could Li Shiqun, whose desire for power has deepened into his bones, abandon his post as the chairman of Jiangsu Province?

But Chen Mingxiang had to say that. On the surface, he seemed to be thinking about Li Shiqun, but if the other party really wanted to take a step back, he would do damage instead and dispel such thoughts.

Li Shiqun’s premonition was also Chen Mingxiang’s premonition. Various signs showed that this executioner with bloody hands was about to suffer retribution.

His hidden career as a strategic agent in the enemy-occupied area can be said to have achieved outstanding results in intelligence and economics. So far, he lacks the last shortcoming, and the eradication of Li Shiqun can be said to pass in terms of operations.

"I did not express my position, pretending that I did not hear Chairman Wang's meaning. Of course, he didn't seem to be anxious. It was just such a hint, but it reminded me. You think, if the Jinling government forcibly removes me from Jiangsu Province , What should I do?"

"The key is that we are not strong enough to deter all the forces that covet my position. It seems that speeding up the construction of the armed forces is an urgent matter. If there is no actual action, the support of the secret agent headquarters and the provincial government will be both. It's gone." Li Shiqun said.

Tasting the taste of power is like drinking poison to quench thirst, knowing that it will bring life danger to oneself, but still reluctant to give up, there are countless examples of this through the ages.

With Wang Jingwei's current power, if Li Shiqun is forced to resign or transfer him, this is completely feasible. The reason why he has not done so is that the situation of the Jinling government is very complicated.

The contradiction between the Gongguan faction and the non-gongguan faction, the contradiction between the Jinling government and the puppet government in North China and Mengjiang, the contradiction between the Gongguan faction and the old forces of the pseudo-reform government, the contradiction between the Jinling government and the Japanese, etc., are a comprehensive choice.

Furthermore, Li Shiqun is very powerful in Jiangsu Province. He controls the security forces and the secret agents of the secret service headquarters. Wang Jingwei is also worried that he will be threatened. Li Shiqun is originally a gambler, forcing him to go to a dead end, he may be unscrupulous. Create chaos.

"Since the minister is determined to take a gamble, the brother will naturally support you. The attitude of the Japanese is the key. If I snoop on any news, I will tell you in advance. Others seem to be of no help, mine. The textile factory is already under construction and needs a lot of cotton. Please take care of the minister in this regard." Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.

"My brother's affairs are of course easy to talk about. In fact, I don't worry about doing business with you. The three textile factories in Suzhou are protected by the 13th Army Command and the Gendarmerie Command. Japanese businessmen can only stare."

"Selling you cotton from the Qingxiang Committee and the Provincial Government is no risk at all. If it is smuggled into the Kuomintang Control Area, the price will be higher, but transportation is a big trouble and it will also cause dissatisfaction from the Japanese side." Li Shiqun said.

The reason why Chen Mingxiang mentions cotton alone is because the new grains are still on the market too early, and the financial crisis of the Military Unification Bureau has not yet passed and needs to be supported for two more months. After the establishment of the Freight Management Bureau of the Ministry of Finance, the main materials reserved for the Shancheng government are Cotton cloth and cotton yarn.

In addition, a large number of cotton cloth and cotton yarn produced by Japanese merchants on the Shanghai Stock Exchange were requisitioned to Southeast Asia and Japan, increasing the looting of cotton. Japanese invaders attached great importance to this urgently needed strategic material. When his cotton was sold to him by Li Shiqun, it would naturally be strongly disgusted by the Japanese.

Xia Danwei mainly invited Li Shiqun to dance, and he cheerfully agreed. This pretty girl from the niece generation danced very well.

"Director Chen, the exchange of information between inside and outside the customs is very important work, but our investigation and statistics department has not received any tasks. You see, is it possible to give us a chance to participate?" Xia Zhongming drew up to Chen Mingxiang Said beside him.

Is this to reflect the existence of the Survey and Statistics Department, or to reflect your own existence?Or is it to take advantage of this task that Japanese intelligence agencies attach great importance to, to draw closer relations with each other and to obtain more resources for the future?

Li Shiqun never said that the Investigation and Statistics Department should also be involved in this investigation. Therefore, this may be Xia Zhongming's own intention. Chen Mingxiang finds this request very interesting.

Xia Zhongming is a direct line of Li Shiqun, otherwise he would not become the deputy head of the Survey and Statistics Department. Although this department is only an addition to the Jinling government's ministries and commissions, it is exactly the same as other departments in terms of grade treatment.

Of course, this requirement is not very sensitive. The Investigation and Statistics Department does have such a function and has some of its own strength, but Chen Mingxiang does not intend to let Xia Zhongming enter the battlefield. That has become a disguised form of increasing the enemy’s investigative power, giving his comrades The anti-Japanese organization caused trouble.

"Lao Xia, if you have such an idea, you should say it earlier. The decision of this matter lies with the Japanese. It doesn't count if I say it. In this way, I will ask General Kinoshita what I mean and reply to you." Chen Mingxiang smiled Said.

He would definitely not tell Kinoshita Sakae about this matter, and Xia Zhongming would never wait for the permission of the Japanese, and the power is now in his hands.

"Don’t worry, I’ll just give it a try, Director Chen, although you are only an inspector of the Investigation and Statistics Department, everyone knows that the main energy of the official group is not on the ministry, but on the provincial government and the Qingxiang Committee. Neither Yang Jie nor I have much abilities, and our own strength is not bad. What we lack now is a backbone."

"The status of the Investigation and Statistics Department is very embarrassing. From the perspective of its functions, it is indeed very powerful, but in fact it is marginalized. The army does not dare to control the affairs of the army. The internal investigation and vigilance work is beyond our turn. You have to find out for your brothers. Way out." Xia Zhongming said.
