More than a dozen trucks drove into the gate of the Marine Corps Command one after another. General Makitan brought all the generals and assistants to welcome Huatong Trading Company to give gifts in the yard. The reception specifications were unprecedentedly grand. The key was that Chen Mingxiang gave him so generous this time. [∞8 [∞8 [∞8 [∞read [∞book,.︾.o＠

"Thank you Chen Jun for your great contribution to the Imperial Navy, and thank you for your condolences and gifts during the Spring Festival. Our Marine Corps will continue to help you and jointly build the prosperity of the Shanghai Stock Exchange!" Lieutenant General Makita Kyosaku bowed to Chen Mingxiang in public.

"According to the Empire's holiday, New Year's Day is the Spring Festival. On this important day, the Imperial Navy soldiers are struggling to build Greater East Asia in China and cannot reunite with their families. I must pay my highest respect and sincere greetings to the Imperial Army." Chen Mingxiang said with a smile, bowing and returning the greeting.

Then he distributed condolences and gifts. This time Chen Mingxiang made enough budget and took action with unprecedented strength. The atmosphere of the entire Marine Corps also became joyful.

The organization of more than 5,000 people, and more than 4,000 ordinary soldiers each received one pound of sake, five boxes of cigarettes and one pound of tea. The lieutenant-level officer was a red envelope of one hundred dollars, two pounds of sake, ten boxes of cigarettes and one pound of tea. The lieutenant-level officer was a red envelope of one thousand dollars, two bottles of red wine, five barrels of cigarettes and two pounds of tea. The general officer was a red envelope of ten thousand dollars, one box of red wine, one box of cigars and three pounds of tea.

It is worth mentioning that Chen Mingxiang’s three iron relationships in the headquarters, Nakasa Ono, Colonel Nakajima and Sashimadashima, were also paid according to the treatment of the general. No one has any objection to this. If it weren’t for their efforts, how could the Marine Corps have so many benefits?

In addition, there are cargo chickens, ducks, meats, vegetables and fish, and the rare Nanyang fruits, such as bananas, mangosteens, dragon fruits, etc., with a wide variety of varieties. 〖∈8〖∈8〖∈8〖∈read [∈∈book, .2∞3.↓o

Chen Mingxiang first went to the military police headquarters and sent the things and condolences. There were more than 2,000 military policemen in the central China region. The treatment of ordinary military police was equivalent to that of lieutenant-level officers. The condolences amounted to more than 300,000 US dollars. In addition, the things were not allowed to be paid without 400,000 US dollars.

Lunch must be eaten at the Marine Corps Command. This was a call before coming ono Nakasa Ono called to inform him that the headquarters of the Shanghai Gendarmerie is Chen Mingxiang’s base camp. The relationship is quite special, so it’s the same when to eat it.

"Jun Chen, the battle between the empire in Guado in the South Pacific may be a failure. Given the gradual loss of air and sea control, it is very difficult to supply ground troops. Guado is no longer suitable for continuing to fight, and the situation is very serious!"

"The U.S. Navy lost the U.S. Hornet and U.S. Hornet in this battle. We lost the U.S. Longxiong aircraft carrier. On the surface, the navy's losses were smaller than those of the United States, but the industrial strength of the empire was completely incomparable to the United States. The number of built by the other party reached 14, which was terrible to think about it."

"After receiving the intelligence, the 2nd Marine Division of the US Army and the 25th Army Infantry Division were transported to Guadalam in December to replace the 1st Marine Division, and its troops had already gained an overwhelming advantage." Ono Nakasa said with a frown.

This is in Colonel Nakajima's office. Four people gather together to drink tea and chat. The content of the conversation between soldiers often involves war, and the most important battle at present is the battle for Guadalam.

"The failures once and twice are not the key. The most troublesome thing is that due to the difficulty in supplying in Guadalam, Lieutenant General Tanaka Shin-yi, the Minister of Operations of the General Staff Headquarters, and Major General Sato, the Director of the Army Provincial Military Affairs Bureau, fought in the office and ran to Prime Minister Tojo's office, calling him a bastard, and was transferred to the Southern Army General Command for this reason." Colonel Nakajima said.

The Operations Minister of the General Staff Headquarters ran to the Prime Minister's Office and scolded Hideki Tojo as a bastard. This sounded like a fantasy to Chen Mingxiang, but that's the case.

The waters in Guadalam were blocked by the US Navy, and the supplies were not available, and the operations department of the General Staff Head Office required the call of civilian ships, and the losses were met to meet the needs of the combat troops.

But this request was rejected by Hideki Tojo, who served as the Minister of the Army. His reason was that maintaining a certain number of civilian ships to expand military production was more important than delivering supplies to the front line.

The furious Shinichi Tanaka, with Kenra Sato, the Military Affairs Director who conveyed the order, was also the confidant of Hideki Tojo. The two wrestled in the office. That's not all, the Minister of Operations actually ran to Hideki Tojo's office and cursed at the Prime Minister and Minister of the Army.

"It's not news that Major General Tanaka likes to fight. In the 15th year of Showa, that is, the 29th year of the Republic of China, he and Akira Muto, the then-Military Affairs Director, also fought in the office for the strategy of going south to war against Britain and the United States. Because his attitude was deeply appreciated by the bosses at that time, he was promoted to the Army Lieutenant General the next year."

"But this time it's different. He went directly to provoke Hideki Tojo, so he wouldn't have to sit on the bench? I guess he will be the rank of lieutenant general in this life." Shimada Nakasa said with a smile.

"Have the empire decided to retreat from Guadalam?" Chen Mingxiang asked.

This is a very important military intelligence. If the Japanese army wants to evacuate Guadao, they have to inform the US army quickly. It is obvious that the Japanese army's logistics supply can no longer hold on. If the enemy can be dragged to death on Guadao, it will have an extremely important impact on the war situation in the South Pacific region.

"I haven't heard this news yet. Even if I retreat, it will require careful deployment and cannot be easily decided. There are more than 30,000 imperial troops in Guadalam." Ono Nakasa shook his head and said.

After lunch, Chen Mingxiang went to the 13th Army Headquarters and the 61st Division to "condolences", but this was a symbolic move.

All senior Japanese generals at the general level received generous gifts, red wine, cigars and large red envelopes. The lieutenant general level includes commander and division commander, which is 10,000 US dollars. If the major general level is the chief officer, such as the chief of staff and brigade commander, he can get 5,000 US dollars.

But the auxiliary major general was 2,000 US dollars, and the auxiliary officer received a red envelope of 200 US dollars and a pound of tea. The remaining grassroots officers and ordinary soldiers only gave a batch of condolence supplies.

The permanent Japanese troops stationed in Shanghai were the 61st Division and the 17th Independent Mixed Brigade. The 61st Division was a Division B with a membership of 24,400 people, and the 17th Independent Mixed Brigade had 5,000 people. In addition to the direct troops of the headquarters, the total number reached nearly 40,000 people.

Although Chen Mingxiang made some money this year, he really couldn't afford it in the face of such a huge base. Everyone can understand it. This is unprecedented. The municipal government's condolences are not even a fraction of his, and he did not disappoint the strong support of the 13th Army. 11 Baidu's latest chapter "Spy Net Jiezhong Literature" is read for free at the first time.
