The plane landed at the Japanese airport in Xinjing. Although it was already in March, the temperature here was still a bit low, and it was still at minus six or seven degrees at night.

This time, the Japanese generals waiting for Chen Mingxiang at the airport, related to the commander of the Eastern Army Gendarmerie, Major General Kato Tomajiro Gendarmerie, Major General Shibuya Saburo, Undersecretary of the Manchukuo State Public Security Department, Major General Furuno Yoshitake, Manager of the General Headquarters of the Kwantung Army, and the Supply Supervisor’s staff. Chief Takada Kiyohide Osa, and in addition, Takeda Ko Osa, the chief of the second section of the general headquarters staff, also came.

Although Chen Mingxiang's identity is the police chief of the Wang puppet government, he is just a small person, and the Japanese generals do not need to be so grand.

The key is that they all received Chen Mingxiang's dividends, and they have a deep interest relationship. In addition, this guy rarely comes outside the customs, which is very face-saving to welcome to the airport.

"Welcome Chen Jun to Xinjing again. The files we sent to the suspects in Central China have received very good results in a short period of time. They have eliminated a lot of security risks for Manchuria. Chen Jun is indispensable. We also copied the main points and operating procedures of your investigation."

"The Ministry of Public Security has already asked the emperor of Manchuria to apply for a medal for you, a Jingyun medal, and an award ceremony for you tomorrow morning. This is a great honor." Major General Shibuya Saburo said with a smile .

"Thanks to Mr. Shibuya for his approval. I just did some of my own work. How can I dare to accept such a high honor from Manchuria, I am really ashamed." Chen Mingxiang said hurriedly.

The Jingyun Medal is the third-ranked medal of the Puppet Manchukuo after the Orchid Medal and the Dragon Light Medal. One of the medals is the Grand Ribbon Medal awarded to the Prime Minister and Cabinet Ministers. Up to now, only more than 100 have been awarded. The level is quite high.

This time I went outside the customs to perform my "duty" as the director of the Special Liaison Office of the Police Department, to send the suspect files provided by the Japanese military intelligence agencies and police systems in central China to the special agencies outside the customs, the special high-level section of the gendarmerie and the Ministry of Public Security. .

At the same time, Chen Mingxiang intends to discuss with the Puppet Manchukuo State Public Security Department in advance to "invite" a group of experienced police officers to teach at the Police Academy of the Police Department. Of course, this school has not yet been established!

Now that he became the Chief of Police, he had to put up some political achievements to deal with the Japanese and Wang puppet government, and imitating the police model of the puppet Manchukuo would surely win praise from the Japanese and puppets.

Through the affairs of the Shanghai Suburb Intelligence Station, Chen Mingxiang found that he had a big problem, especially in terms of operational strength, which was too lacking.

The directly affiliated station is very effective in intelligence work, but this is only half of the work of a local station. If he has the ability to act, the situation is completely different.

Chen Mingxiang is preparing to implement a talent training plan that he has formulated, using his power to control the Police Academy of the Police Department to send people from the Operations Division and Intelligence Division directly under the station to the police school, and then send graduates from the headquarters to the police school. If you want to mix in the military system, it is not enough to have no capital.

His teacher, Pan Qiwu, can help the students in the military training class. The purpose of the two teachers and students is the same. This is not a rebellion against Boss Dai, but a normal behavior.

Why did Pan Qiwu set up a secret training class in addition to the Qingpu special training class? The purpose was not to increase his capital?

"Welcome Mr. Home!"

A group of people came to Chen Mingxiang's residence in Xinjing first in the car. Takada Akiko and Takada Mitsuko stood at the door to greet them. Tea was already placed in the room.

The Investigation Department of Manchurian Railway conducted a secret search of Chen Mingxiang’s residence. Chen Mingxiang discovered the action. The special high class of the Xinjing Gendarmerie blocked all four investigators in the house and arrested them. Little scandal.

The result of the Kwantung Army General Command’s handling of Chen Mingxiang is that the Manchurian Railway Investigation Department will send a representative to apologize. The four investigators acted privately and were not approved by the headquarters. For this reason, they will be expelled and imprisoned for one month as punishment. .

Everyone knew what was going on. Major General Hara Mori also specifically informed him that he needed Man Tie’s help, but Chen Mingxiang did not accept it. This matter can only be left alone, and it is useless to pursue it. How could the Japanese be for the Chinese people? Punish yourself?

Mitsuko Takada was implicated in the incident this time and was dismissed by the Manchurian Railway. However, because of the Kwantung Army Gendarmerie Headquarters, he received a large sum of money as compensation. He accepted the appointment of the Shinkyo Gendarmerie and followed his sister Akiko to Chen Mingxiang. Residence, as a second full-time waiter.

"Chen Jun, you must be aware of some things. The empire's material needs are too great. The military department issued an order to reduce its own military supplies. Manchukuo will also start a war and save activities to provide more cotton yarn and cotton cloth for the country. "

"Originally, 10,000 pieces of cotton cloth were needed every month, but now only 15,000 pieces of cotton cloth per quarter. This also includes the daily needs of Japanese expats in Manchuria. I can sign an agreement tomorrow. I have given you cotton yarn in advance. I'm ready," said Furuno Yoshitake.

The shortage of supplies caused by the war in Japan is now very serious. Even strategic armies such as the Kwantung Army have to reduce their military needs and provide supplies for the mainland. It is conceivable that this situation will continue to deteriorate over time.

In order to continue the war, Japan will use the Wang puppet government, the puppet Manchukuo, and the puppet North China Political Affairs Committee to unscrupulously grab resources, especially necessities like cotton. Chen Mingxiang feels that his decision is right.

The order of the Kwantung Army also determines that he will not be able to obtain a large amount of cotton yarn in the future, and that he can maintain the current production and allow thousands of workers to eat. This is the best situation. Therefore, he plans to implement the second set of plans and close the Factory and the third mill, the largest textile mill is enough.

"It is precisely because of the imperial material shortage that Japanese textile factories in Shanghai are fully producing cotton yarn and cotton cloth, supplying dispatched troops and Japanese domestic demand, which has caused the cotton share to be taken up. My textile factory is also for this reason and plans to close one."

"But I think the difficulty is only temporary. Although the defeat in the Battle of Guadalcanal will have a certain impact on the situation in the South Pacific region, the entire Southeast Asia and East Asia regions are still under the control of the empire. If they can digest as quickly as possible, With the use of resources, the Imperial Japanese Army will surely achieve its predetermined goals." Chen Mingxiang said.

The last thing you can’t tell in this environment is the truth. The fanatical militants like to listen to such lies. Besides, the defeat of Guadalcanal Island and the defeat of Midway Island have not yet caused a fatal threat to Japan, and the war in the United States. The potential has not been fully realized, and it is too early to say that it fails now.
