Due to the unfavorable war in the southern Pacific region, the Japanese base camp began to deploy Kwantung Army troops to garrison in Southeast Asia, attempting to use defensive tactics to make the final struggle. Chen Mingxiang learned that the Kwantung Army has also begun to form new troops, mainly transportation and aviation troops.

"The military headquarters and the dispatched army headquarters have given me the task of purchasing combat supplies. It is said that next year, the base camp plans to carry out a large-scale strategic offensive against the Shancheng government's national control area."

"The entire dispatched army's subordinate units also include the North China Front Army in North China. This time, most of the mobile forces will be deployed to participate in the war. Your Kwantung Army will also support the Guannei battlefield, right?" Chen Mingxiang asked.

He is not worried that his questioning will make the Kwantung Army generals feel that military intelligence has been leaked, because Huatong Trading Company is also part of this strategic offensive plan.In other words, he will also provide services for the Japanese war, and he has the right to know some of the content in advance.

"You are right. The base camp does have such a battle plan. It is currently in the discussion stage and needs to be reported to His Majesty the Emperor for approval, but this matter has become a foregone conclusion. Under the instructions of the Chief of Staff of Hideki Tojo, the head of the Army Staff The Minister of Operations came to Shinkyo a few days ago and discussed with General Umezu Mijiro about the transfer of troops to Kannai."

"In order to strengthen the offensive force of the dispatched army, the base camp decided that the 27th Division of the Kwantung Army General Headquarters in Jinzhou will be transferred to the customs to participate in the war. At the same time, three groups of field artillery and one group of field artillery will be deployed. , A heavy artillery brigade, a mountain artillery brigade, a chariot brigade, and a number of brigade’s luggage and transport units."

"The military department means that in the future, a large number of troops of the Kwantung Army will be transferred to Southeast Asia or the mainland to participate in operations. Before being transferred, the Kwantung Army Headquarters must ensure that the transferred troops have sufficient combat materials and remain intact. Fighting power." Takeda Takeda said.

The number of a division plus two regiments will reach 30,000. There are also multiple artillery battalions and an unknown number of logistic support units, which add up to nearly 40,000. It seems that the Japanese military will be fighting next year. The plan attaches great importance to it. In order to ensure the completion of the combat objective, the Kwantung Army, which is the most elite, is used at all costs.

The Kwantung Army is not like a dispatched army within the pass. It has been in a state of war for a long time. It has been commanding the puppet regime of the puppet Manchukuo, frantically plundering resources outside the pass, and is also defending against Soviet attacks.

Once the war ahead is unfavorable, the base camp will naturally use this general army similar to the strategic reserve to provide support, and hopes to use the pride of this imperial army to restore the defeat.

With just this passage from Takeda Ko, Chen Mingxiang's purpose of coming to Xinjing to give gifts this time was successfully achieved, in order to hear this aspect.

He already knows that this strategic offensive plan for the Kuomintang Controlled Area has now entered the implementation stage, otherwise the Kwantung Army’s support forces would not be finalized.

Things seem to be going very smoothly, but this is also a result of long-term contact and Chen Mingxiang's special status.

Let’s try another ordinary relationship household. Take gold and U.S. dollars. Takeda will never reveal military secrets. Just kidding, would the Japanese military’s secrecy be so low?

"Chen Jun is a good friend of the Great Japan Empire, and also a good friend of mine. The two of you must take good care of him. This is a task, understand?" Furuno Yoshitake, who is a little unstable on foot, said to Takada Akiko and Takada Mitsuko. Said.

"Please rest assured, Mr. Jun, we will definitely take care of Mr. Chen." Although Akiko Takada trembled, he bowed respectfully and said.

After eating this meal until late at night, several Japanese generals who received red envelopes and gold bars took turns to fight with Chen Mingxiang. Although the degree of sake is not high, they can get drunk if they drink too much.

Although Chen Mingxiang didn’t know much about the Puppet Manchukuo and things outside the Pass, he knew about things inside the Pass, such as the process of the 11th Army’s attack on Wuling, such as the military police and intelligence agencies’ actions, especially the poisoning of Li Shiqun. Another example is the reason why Wang Jingwei performed this operation. The generals of the Kwantung Army were also fascinated.

"New Year's Day will be in a few days, and it is also a very important holiday in Japan. As for me, this time I brought two sets of French cosmetics and two imported leather garments to your sisters from the Shanghai Stock Exchange. This is a New Year gift for you. International metropolises like Shanghai stock market are also relatively high-end luxury goods."

"Akiko, this is a red envelope of five thousand yen. You take one thousand yuan each, and you take the rest for the New Year at home. I gave you these two gold bars separately. Thank you for your care and thank you. Look at this residence in Xinjing for me." Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.

When he got up in the morning, the two sisters made rice porridge for him and bought hot buns. Seeing that the room was cleaned very neatly, he felt very satisfied. The Japanese women are still very diligent.

"Sir, you gave me too much. Usually, you drove such a high salary. We can't ask for your money anymore." Takada Akiko was startled.

What kind of concept is five thousand yen?It is equal to two years' salary of a young Japanese military officer and two years' salary of a Japanese military police officer rank. It is indeed quite amazing.

Speaking of the feelings of the two sisters about their current life, they are almost in paradise. They have a high-end residence as their residence, and their work is easy and can’t be easier. They also have high salaries. Those friends and fellows in Xinjing, yes. Their envious eyes are red.

"I'm going to the Ice City later, and I will fly to Peking directly from there after I finish my work. I don't know when I come next time. You two sisters will pay two wages. It doesn't matter to me.

"It's still the same sentence. If you have any difficulties, go to the Xinjing branch to seek help. I will greet them. It is not that I am reluctant to give you more money and things, but consider your own safety." Chen Mingxiang said.

It is estimated that it is rare to see a host like Chen Mingxiang. They only stayed in Xinjing for one night at a time, but gave so much money in vain. From then on, they dominated the house again.

But they don’t understand that this is Chen Mingxiang’s attitude towards the release of the Japanese army. As the saying goes, details determine success or failure. The “look at the Japanese” style of action also proves from the side that he is a “loyal follower” of Japan. !

Chen Mingxiang will not do things that are meaningless. He is always vigilant and minimizes the suspicion from Japan as much as possible. For his work to go smoothly, he has spent millions of dollars back and forth. Is he still short of these three walnuts?
