Wind spy

It was almost noon when he came to Jincheng from Beiping. Naohiro Murano originally invited Chen Mingxiang to a Japanese restaurant for dinner, but Chen Mingxiang proposed to go to Dongxinglou Restaurant, he knew that Chen Mingxiang's purpose was to meet Yoshiko Kawashima.

This veteran agent, who has been half abandoned, has been very different from the previous two years since his contact with Chen Mingxiang. The key is that he has a fixed income in his hand and the capital to carry out his own social activities and continue the previous relationship. Connect up.

"Murano-kun, the glorious period belonging to Yoshiko Kawashima has passed. She is of little value to the empire, but she has been operating in Pingjin for many years. She is a type of earth snake, and she must have some resources in her hands. She is sociable, I may use her in the future."

"With the help of the imperial new policy, we will continue to expand the scale of the salt farm, which violates the interests of imperial chaebols and local salt merchants. They must be very dissatisfied with this. There are veteran agents like Yoshiko Kawashima watching. Maybe we can know some trends in advance." Chen Mingxiang said with a slight smile.

Eating is of course an excuse for chatting. Seeing that his sponsor is coming, Yoshiko Kawashima hurriedly asked the chef at the restaurant to make a table of delicacies and accompany him personally, chatting with Chen Mingxiang and Murano Naohiro in the private room, and she was responsible for it. Tea pour water.

Just like Murano Naohiro said, she has now returned to her former luxury life. More than 1,000 tons of salt per month can bring her 300,000 vouchers, plus Chen Mingxiang still has 30,000 yuan per month. The activities of the Union Bank Coupons, the life is very chic.

"Miss Kawashima, I wonder if you are not familiar with Bei Zeping?" Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.

"Bei Zeping? He used to be the squad leader of the intelligence squad in the special agency of the Army Province in Tianjin. Of course I am very familiar with him. Why did Mr. Chen ask him?" Yoshiko Kawashima said.

"That's it. The director of the Ume Agency, Matsui Naka, will go to the dispatched army headquarters as the chief of the general staff. The new director is Lieutenant General Kenshiro Shibayama, and he is currently serving as the head of the Intelligence Division of the Ice City Secret Service. , It is the newly appointed director of Mei’s agency intelligence.” Chen Mingxiang said.

"Chen Jun’s news is really well-informed. I just learned about this matter within two days. Most people have not yet been notified. It will be officially announced by the dispatching army headquarters on the 15th. General Shibayama took over the work of the plum agency." Murano Naohiro said with a smile.

"Your Excellency Da Zuo laughed. I was in the Jinling government or in Central China. It would be too shameful if I didn't even know such important news."

"It is normal for the North China to know that it is late. The May agency has always been responsible for affairs in Central China. Strictly speaking, the North China Political Affairs Committee is substantially independent of the Jinling government." Chen Mingxiang said.

The greatest achievement of the Mei organization was to support the Wang puppet government. In fact, the sphere of influence was limited to central China. It would be difficult to reach North China. The North China Political Affairs Committee was supported by the Japanese North China Front Army Command.

The head of the Mei organization was changed, and the base camp was at most a briefing with the North China Front Army headquarters. There was no need to seek the opinions of the North China Front Army. The relationship between the two sides was not very good.

Of course, a general commander of the level like Okamura Neji must have known it a long time ago, and a great commander like Naohiro Murano, if he were not born in the military police system, most of them have not yet received news.

"How do you say Bei Zeping? His biggest feature is that he hides a knife in his smile. He always seems to have a gentle smile. He treats people very kindly and is good at building relationships. But his principle of doing things is to doubt everything. He likes the method of elimination most. If you have the slightest doubt, don't try to pass him."

"Bei Zeping's actions have always been hidden underwater. You don't know what he did until the moment he came out of the water. When he was joking with you, he actually started to arrange traps. He and Xiaodao The biggest difference between Chengzi is that he can't make a move without absolute certainty," said Yoshiko Kawashima.

Chen Mingxiang was very fortunate that he came to her to understand the situation. These few sentences sum up very valuable, basically point out Bei Zeping's character, suspicious, horny, sophisticated, and insidious. These are all places that can be used in the future.

Naohiro Murano still had work in the afternoon, so he didn't stay too much. When he agreed to meet again in the evening, he returned to the military police station. Only Yoshiko Kawashima and Chen Mingxiang remained in the room.

"I want all the information of Kitazawahei and Kenshiro Shibayama, the more detailed the better, especially Kitazawahei's information, a remuneration of 10,000 US dollars, but I hope it is worth the money." Chen Mingxiang said simply.

"The transaction, I believe that the information I gave will definitely live up to this ten thousand dollars. I heard Mr. Chen said that he would expand the scale of the salt farm. I hope to increase the amount of smuggled salt by one thousand tons per month." Yoshiko Kawashima proposed himself conditions of.

"From my point of view, I actually don’t mind if you smuggle more salt to me. The more the quantity, the better, but you must remember that it should be modest. The chaebols and salt merchants in North China, they really mind. Of course, you can To settle them, I also support this matter. The salt shortage in central China is severe." Chen Mingxiang said.

On the second day after arriving in Jincheng, the heads of North China Salt Industry Co., Ltd. and Changlu Salt Administration in Tanggu area showed murderous eyes and looked at the leaders of the Jincheng Military Police Force Murano Naohiro and Haiyuan Salt. Chen Mingxiang, the owner of the industry company, took another large piece of salt pan from the Tanggu Salt Field.

But the problem is that they did not dare to stop this time. The instruction to delimit the salt fields came from Shiozawa Kiyoshino, the Minister Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Japanese Consulate-General in Peiping, who was also the former Minister of the North China Liaison Department of the Xingya Institute. The "reason" was that the troops in Central China There is a shortage of salt for Japanese expats, and some need to be allocated from the Changlu Saltworks.

In the North China Liaison Department of the Xingya Institute, the chaebols dare to say a few words, but the consulate in Peking is the territory of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. There is a famous institution called the Special Advanced Police Department, which specializes in the thinking of Japanese people.

The Haiyuan Salt Industry Company does have the authorization of the 13th Army Command of the Dispatch Army General Command to provide salt to the garrison and Japanese nationals, especially refined salt. The monthly supply must reach 400,000 jin, or 200 tons. However, this salt field can produce at least 10,000 tons per month!

"The Consulate General and the Gendarmerie are harming the interests of the empire. It is a fact that there is a shortage of salt in Central China. It is not because of salt shortage, but because of a problem in transportation. The salt output of the Lianghuai Salt Plant is not as good as that of our Changlu Salt Plant. How much lower!"

"Haiyuan Salt Company, a table salt sales organization in central China, is frantically plundering raw salt from the Changlu Salt Field. This will affect the company's domestic transportation. Who can afford this responsibility?" North China Salt Company is responsible The people were furious.
