Giving gifts will make a request. No one will give such a large sum of money for no reason. Matsui Tokuro understands very well that Chen Mingxiang must have something to help himself, and it is definitely not a trivial matter.

But after hearing the other party's purpose, Matsui Tokuro couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It was said that he could still operate it by stepping on the line just now. This guy knew what the Imperial Army cared about.

Japan's means of controlling the occupied areas is undisguised and violent suppression, but unless there is a major incident, the garrison will not be dispatched easily. It is the gendarmerie spies and police who maintain daily order.

In the puppet Manchukuo area, the increasingly professional pseudo police played an important role in dealing with anti-Japanese organizations, and their threat is no less than that of Japanese agents. They have the power to handle intelligence personnel and cases, and they do not have to ask for instructions in everything.

However, in central China, the police are affiliated with the secret service agencies and the gendarmerie, responsible for patrol, blockade, search and cracking criminal cases. Even if they collect intelligence and discover suspicious targets, they must use the secret service agencies and the gendarmerie to decide the next method.

Your Excellency General, thanks to your love, I can serve as the Secretary for Police of the Jinling Government. As the saying goes, in his position, he must do something to repay the trust of the empire.

My requests did not touch the core interests of the empire. The actual power of the police system is still in the hands of the Mei agency. Police stations in various places still implement the consultant responsibility system, but there are some flexibility in procedures.

To put it more clearly, flexibility is nothing more than a form, and it is also a cooperation with the empire's new policy towards the Jinling government. The two sides have a strategic cooperative relationship, and loyalty depends on mutual trust. To be unpleasant is interests. The more power the empire releases, the higher the loyalty it will gain.

Some of them are my real thoughts. When I went outside the pass, I saw the local police in Manchuria who were trained by the Imperial Police. Their quality and efficiency were not comparable to those of the police in the pass. I planned to learn this experience and implement it in central China to better serve the empire. Chen Mingxiang said.

Although the Police Department requests personnel power and financial power, its main purpose is to enhance its authority and influence, and will not easily interfere with the operation of local police stations and fully respect the suggestions of Japanese consultants. However, for the outside world, this is the actual manifestation of Japan's respect for the Jinling government.

In principle, I agree with you. As long as you do not affect the interests of the empire, everything can be discussed. What you are right is that the police system will be the main force for the empire to protect interests and needs to be strengthened. I will report to General Shin-Ruo Hata, the commander-in-chief of the dispatched army. It is estimated that there is no big problem.

But now, the commander of the North China Front Army General Okamura Yiji stationed in Jiangcheng, Lieutenant General Tsubasa Takata, commander of the 11th Army General Tsubasa, commander of the 13th Army General Shimomura, commander of the 23rd Army General Sakai, commander of the 23rd Army General Sakai, was all sending the Army General Headquarters to attend the meeting. They will not return after breakfast tomorrow. I will go to the commander-in-chief tomorrow morning. Matsui Tokuro said.

With so many big figures gathered in Jinling, would the Imperial Army launch a strategic offensive against Chiang-Tong District and take down the Southwest in one fell swoop? Chen Mingxiang asked.

No, the Empire is not able to carry out strategic offensives now, and the matter is exactly the opposite of what you said. The Expeditionary Army General Command was originally preparing to launch a major battle against the Shancheng government, but it is impossible now. First, the Naval Battle of Midway Island suffered heavy losses, and then a tug-of-war was formed in Guadalam. The Empire could not withstand the battlefield in both directions.

After careful consideration by the military headquarters, it was decided to abolish the operations and stabilize the existing occupied areas as its primary task. The Yama Castle government also noticed our combat plan and made corresponding arrangements, and it was impossible to achieve a decisive victory in a short period of time. Matsui Tokuro said.

This was good news for the Shancheng government. When Chen Mingxiang returned home, he called Wang Zhen and briefly told the information in a code language.

He didn't expect that this incident brought great achievements to his career as a strategic agent, and some things were such coincidences.

The bureau chief Mingyue sent a message saying that the Japanese Sendering Army General Command received an order from the military headquarters that in view of the failure of the war situation in the South Pacific region, large-scale combat against the Kuomintang-controlled area was cancelled. At present, the commanders of the Japanese army from all over the country were in Jinling and returned to the base tomorrow morning. Pan Qiwu came to Dai Li with the message.

The Japanese army's abnormal movements also discovered the intelligence departments in various places. The Military Commission had long ordered the Sixth War Zone Command of the Fifth War Zone Command and the Eighth War Zone Command to prepare for combat, and even considered moving the accompanying staff to Xikang Province when necessary.

Anyway, this is an exciting good news. I will report it to the commission immediately, especially to issue a notice to the anti-aircraft artillery troops in Anhui Province, pay attention to the Japanese plane tomorrow morning to see if I can try my luck.

Japanese planes have always been rampant. Because we don’t have many anti-aircraft guns, we often fly very low. Over time, we become a little careless. Dai Li said with a smile.

Why is it just in Anhui Province?

The 11th Army Command from Jinling to Jiangcheng is to pass through Anhui Province, where there is a part of the Kuomintang-controlled area. The planes to North China do not have the army of the Shancheng government. The routes to Shanghai and Yangcheng do not have the army of the Shancheng government.

I heard that on the evening of the fifth, Minister Kong invited a banquet for the director of the Military Law Execution Department, his assistant and the Minister of Food, to be present, so he was naturally pleading for the Lin Shiliang case. There has been no movement yet. Did he really escape the sanctions for him? Pan Qiwu asked.

The preliminary result of the military law enforcement ministries was that Lin Shiliang was sentenced to life imprisonment and the bribers were sentenced to two years in prison and three years of probation. However, the commission did not make any statement. Director Chen, who served the second office, said that the verdict was too light to curb the rampant smuggling activities in the Kuomintang-controlled areas, which also damaged the commission's image.

Minister Kong's family went to war with his wife, and this matter was really troublesome. I planned to invite the American ambassador tonight to mention this matter. The Americans have complained about these smuggling activities. If the ambassador expresses strict handling to the committee, Lin Shiliang will be dead. It is still the credit of Chunfeng. Dai Li said.

Chen Mingxiang's protection of the lives and safety of British and American expatriates in the public concession was ostensibly the role played by the Military Intelligence Bureau. With the information on bombing Pearl Harbor, the US government has a different view of the Military Intelligence Bureau and Dai Li, and their relationships are becoming more and more harmonious.
