King of Secret Service

From the perspective of the base camp, the previous failures must have been leaked by someone. Therefore, the base camp decided not to use the Kwantung Army and local intelligence personnel, but to replace them with imperial agents who had never been to Shanghai. Its spy network is directly responsible to the intelligence staff of the military headquarters.

Of course, Asakamiya Ji Hisako's visit to Shanghai this time is not only a military mission, he also came with the mission of His Majesty the Emperor.

Before leaving, the emperor specially practiced it for her, and secretly ordered her to observe the situation of the war of aggression against China, and to inform the imperial family of the situation of the battlefield of aggression against China at any time.

The emperor was worried that the imperial army would be trapped in the swamp of the invasion of China. After all, from last year to August of this year, the imperial army had lost nearly 40 troops in the invasion of China. This is not a small number.

You must know that the population of Dongyang is not large, and its military strength is limited. In just one year, 40 imperial warriors died in battle. This is tantamount to a catastrophe for the empire.

That's why the emperor asked her to pay close attention to the situation on the battlefield of the invasion of China. If the Chinese army is indeed difficult to defeat, the imperial family must reconsider the countermeasures. After all, such a loss is something the empire cannot afford.

Except for the order of the Emperor.

When Ji Jiuzi Chaoxiang returned to Shanghai this time, he still had another important task, which was to assassinate Liang Xiao.

From the perspective of the royal family and the military, the reason why the Chinese army can compete with the imperial army is entirely because of this person blocking it. If they want to take the entire territory of China, Liang Xiao must be eliminated.

The irony is that as the executor, Asaka Miyaji Hisako, the princess of the royal family, the prince's daughter, is actually Liang Xiao's person.

If her identity is exposed, I don't know how many Japanese people will go crazy because of it. After all, the princess surrendered to the enemy, which itself is... a great shame for the empire.

Chapter 573 Zhao Xin Comes to See You, Insufficient Funds

Liang Xiao came back from the inspection of the military intelligence department, and just sat down and took a sip of hot tea.

Military Secretary Tang Menghan walked in with a telegram, with a serious and meticulous expression, as if someone owed her money.

When she was in North China, Liang Xiao locked her in confinement for three days. For this matter, she still played with Liang Xiao.

"General, there is a secret telegram from Shanghai."

Tang Menghan said.

Liang Xiao raised his eyebrows, took a look at the telegram, and immediately laughed.

After waiting for several months, he finally brought back Asakamiya Kikuko and Song Yu.

Asaka Miyaji Hisako returned to Shanghai, for him, it was... a perfect pawn.

You must know that Asaka Miyaji Hisako has a special status, and the information she can come into contact with is very extensive. As long as you control her, you will not be afraid of having no information.

Just in time, he will fight the Japanese army again in the Beijing-Shanghai-Hangzhou area, and the arrival of Asakamiya Kiko Hisako will definitely help him a lot.

"Notify the airport to fly to Shanghai at 4:[-] pm."

Liang Xiao laughed.

"understood."

Tang Menghan turned around and left.

"stop."

Liang Xiao put on a serious face, and taught a lesson: "Is this the attitude of talking to the chief?"

Tang Menghan turned around with an aggrieved expression: "Yes, sir."

Liang Xiao was also unwilling to argue with her, so he waved his hand and said, "Go and do your work."

Tang Menghan snorted lightly, turned around and left.

Liang Xiao was extremely depressed, Tang Menghan's temper was still hidden in her bones, and she hadn't changed for such a long time.

This is something he doesn't understand. A woman will only show an expression of grievance when her heart sprouts.

Tang Menghan saw his aggrieved expression just now, like an emotional little wild cat.

Liang Xiao sat in the office for a while... and ordered the headquarters to make arrangements for the 66th Army and the newly formed Tenth Army to return to Beijing, Shanghai and Hangzhou. He also ordered the local government to mobilize the masses to welcome the 66th Army who returned in triumph. Army and soldiers of the new Tenth Army.

Since the commissioner is unwilling to give him the honor of the army, then he will give it himself, and he cannot wrong the soldiers who go out to fight for the country.

He did some calculations and concluded that the marching speed of the 66th Army and the New Tenth Army would take at least five or six days to return, and heavy equipment might take longer.

Therefore, he has at least five or six days to deal with intelligence matters.

As for the military, there is nothing to deal with for the time being, and all the troops are stationed in place.

In addition, he has already sent power to Los Angeles Airport, and they quickly sent people to take Yang Jie, the chief of staff of the 2th Army, back to Jinling, and he will temporarily take charge of the military affairs. As for the logistics and dispatching, Ye Zhao, the deputy commander of the [-]nd Army, will be in charge.

After everything was arranged properly, he asked Chen Hua to notify the Anti-Japanese War Association and asked Zhao Xin to come over in an hour.

During his absence, Zhao Xin was in charge of the affairs of the pharmaceutical factory and the arsenal. Moreover, she was also responsible for the development of the Anti-Japanese War Association in various places. It can be said that she had a heavy responsibility to report.

Moreover, Zhao Xin can be regarded as his confidante, although she has no real relationship, but she is only one step away, that is... this last step, which has been delayed until now.

After about half an hour.

Zhao Xin came to the garrison headquarters by car. She had heard the news of the general's return early in the morning, but the general didn't summon her, so she couldn't come here without permission. Now that the general summoned her, she came by car happily.

As soon as she got out of the car, she saw Chen Hua waiting for him at the door. For this woman who was as beautiful and intelligent as her, she envied her from the bottom of her heart, because Chen Hua could stay by the general's side 24 hours a day, but she couldn't. Only through continuous efforts can she catch up with the general and serve him well.

"Adjutant Zhao."

Chen Hua greeted with a light smile.

"Why did you come down to meet me?"

Zhao Xin asked with a light smile.

"You and I are both adjutants, so I should come down to meet you."

Chen Huadao.

"Let's go."

Zhao Xin was anxious to see the general, and said, "The general is so anxious to see me, what happened?"

"It's nothing. The general is going to Shanghai soon. I want to see you before I leave. I guess I miss you. After all, we have been separated for more than two months. Seeing things and thinking about others..."

Chen Hua laughed jokingly.

Zhao Xin is not...an ordinary woman. If she was an ordinary woman, she might be full of sweetness in her heart at the moment. She is the person who knows the general best. Before his great career is accomplished, he will not waste his energy on the love of his children.

"The general is accompanied by a beauty like Adjutant Chen, how can he think of me?"

Zhao Xin smiled lightly.

"You are the man in the general's heart. Even if I stay by his side every day, he won't take another look at me."

Chen Hua pretended to be wronged and said.

Of course, Zhao Xin would not believe Chen Hua's words. As a woman, she knew that Chen Hua's beauty was very attractive to the general. Besides, the two had been together for so long, so how could there be no story at all, but she didn't want to Just pierce.

"Stop joking, let's be serious, how is the general feeling today?"

Zhao Xin asked as she walked.

"The mood is not bad. He inspected the intelligence department this morning. He also praised many people."

Chen Huadao.

Zhao Xin nodded slightly, as long as the general is in a good mood.

"Report."

A crisp and sweet voice sounded outside.

"Come in."

Liang Xiao could tell from the sound that it was Zhao Xin who was coming, he put down what he was doing, and looked up to the door.

I saw Zhao Xin wearing a school girl's military uniform and walking in with high heels. I haven't seen her for more than two months. She is still so beautiful, but she looks a little haggard, and her mental state is not very good.

"sit."

Liang Xiao gestured for her to sit down and talk.

"Yes."

Zhao Xin sat down softly:.

Liang Xiao poured her a glass of water, sat down and said with a smile, "You have worked hard during this time."

"There is no hard work in serving the general."

Zhao Xin chuckled and said: "In the past two months, our arsenal has been able to imitate German rifles on a large scale, and the level of truck manufacturing in the arsenal has also improved a lot. According to Liu Gong, there are... three more In a few months, the Northeast Armory can restore the level of trucks made in the past. In addition, they have invited Wang Gong from the Northeast Arsenal. He is a professional tank builder, and all the auxiliary tanks in the Northeast are made by him."

"This is a very good thing. Most of our tanks are captured from the enemy. Although they can be repaired and the barrels can be turned to fight devils, the number is limited after all. If the arsenal can really produce tanks, it will affect the combat effectiveness of our troops. Lifting will have a big effect."

Liang Xiao said with a smile on his face.

Chapter 574 Zhao Xin's birthday, the general is leaving

"The development of the arsenal is very rapid, but... the raw materials are a bit tight. Although our Anti-Japanese War Association controls many mines, the materials needed to manufacture firearms, ammunition, cars and tanks are astronomical, and our funds are not very good. adequate."

Zhao Xin said.

"How can there be insufficient funds"

Liang Xiao was surprised. In terms of funds, he owns the Baiyao Factory. Once the guns fired, he would get ten thousand taels of gold. How could he be short of money.

"Baiyao has been sold all over the country, because the price you set is relatively low, so we don't get a lot of profit. It's not enough to support an arsenal. Besides, half of the funds are used to buy oil. After all, we To feed more than 100 planes, more than 700 trucks, and more than 300 jeeps, the monthly fuel expenses are at least more than 50 US dollars."

Zhao Xin said.

Liang Xiao also understood what she said. After all, more than 30 troops consume an astronomical amount of supplies and ammunition every day. The little money allocated by the central government is only enough for half of the expenses, and he has to subsidize the rest.

"How is Baiyao leaving the port?"

Liang Xiao said.

"The sales performance of Baiyao in Hong Kong is not bad, but in the Pacific region, our Baiyao cannot get the market for the time being. After all, there is no war in the Pacific region, so the demand for Baiyao is not large."

Zhao Xin said.

"There seems to be only one way to go at the moment to raise significant amounts of money."

Liang Xiao said.

"It is imperative to increase the price of Baiyao."

Zhao Xin nodded slightly.

"But in this way, it will not be easy for ordinary people to buy Baiyao."

What Liang Xiao is most worried about is the common people. War is cruel. Once the common people are accidentally injured, they can only spend their own money to see a doctor, and the high cost of medicine is beyond their affordability.

"There is another way to increase the price of local warlord forces and capitalism, reduce the amount of Baiyao on the market, control the proportion of Baiyao outflow, raise the price of Baiyao, and deliberately make a gesture that there is no price in the market. In this way, the warlords The army and capitalism will inevitably buy Baiyao from us, and they will choose to sell Baiyao to the people at a high price at the right time. At this time, we will inject Baiyao into the civilian medicine industry, and the price will be several times lower than theirs. , the value of these... white medicines in the hands of capitalism and warlords will be greatly reduced."

Zhao Xin said.

Liang Xiao's eyes lit up.

It's a good way to make money only from warlords and capitalism.

"This method is feasible. To implement it specifically, you must raise funds in a short period of time. You cannot stop the work of the arsenal. Although our troops have collectively changed their German weapons and equipment, bullets and grenades are still in short supply. Moreover, the artillery fire of the new army needs to be strengthened. Tanks and armored vehicles are the most urgent assault firepower we currently lack. We must urge the arsenal to step up production, no matter...

No matter what materials are needed, no matter how much money is spent, it is worth it.”

Liang Xiao said.

"Yes, I have made a note of it."

Zhao Xin lightly said: General, our branch of the Anti-Japanese War Association has been secretly established in the Northeast region, attracting many local people with lofty ideals to join, and also got in touch with the Northeast Armed Forces, providing material and financial support for their military resistance.

"This is done very well. Although the Northeast is a bitterly cold place outside the customs, it is rich in mineral resources. In the early years, the Northeast Army was able to dominate the world, all thanks to the resources of the Northeast. Zhang Shuai was able to build a railway in the Northeast and expand the arsenal. resources, the Japanese invaded and occupied the Northeast, and they also took a fancy to the rich minerals in the Northeast."

"We not only need to support the local militias in the Northeast to fight against the Japanese invaders, but also send many special forces to the Northeast to fight guerrillas, restrain the main force of the Kwantung Army, and force them not to enter the customs. North China and the Songhu area in the southwest can compete with the Japanese invaders."

"When the battle in the Songhu area is over, I will send several special forces to fight in the Northeast. First, to absorb the anti-Japanese armed forces in the Northeast and strengthen myself. Second, to contain the main force of the Japanese invaders. Third, one day, to cooperate with our army to attack Northeast, recover the lost land."

Liang Xiao actually had this plan a long time ago, but the situation in the Songhu area made him unable to separate himself. Moreover, the special forces under his command hadn't gotten used to it to a certain extent, so he rushed to the Northeast to fight, and the troops might not get used to it.

"General, please rest assured that the Anti-Japanese War Association in the Northeast has asked them to stockpile supplies in advance. Once our troops enter the Northeast to fight, the Anti-Japanese War Association is willing to provide them with all their strength to ensure the supplies and ammunition for the troops in the Northeast."

Zhao Xin said.

"The Northeast Occupied Area will be our main battlefield in the future. Members of the Anti-Japanese War there must choose loyal and reliable people. We cannot let a mouse ruin a pot of soup."

Liang Xiao said.

"The humble staff will follow your teachings, and in terms of personnel, the humble staff will investigate and make proper appointments."

Zhao Xin said.
