Four hundred and fiftieth chapters will not pay in vain
The eyes are the window of the soul, and you can see the inner activity from the eyes. Chen Mingxiang has never given up observing the three opponents. He knows that his purpose has been achieved tonight, and his deterrence has even come out of his expectations.
As long as these people's thinking is normal, they should be very clear about reality and have no good results when they go against themselves.
"Ladies and gentlemen, friends from the military and diplomatic institutions of the Imperial Japanese Army stationed in Shanghai, friends from the municipal government and subordinate units, and friends from the business and financial circles of the Shanghai Stock Exchange, good evening!"
"Today is the happy day for me to officially serve as the General Affairs Director and Director of the Liaison Office of the Security Command of the Shanghai Special Municipal Government, and to be promoted to Major General of the 6th Army of the Jinling Government. I am very happy for the visit of all leaders and guests, and I sincerely express my gratitude from the bottom of my heart..."
Chen Mingxiang made a half-hour speech, which was nothing more than some unnutritious polite words. He thanked the Imperial Army and the Jinling Government for their attention, Chen Gongbo and Ying Zuo Zhenzhao for their favor, and thanked the various Japanese institutions stationed in Shanghai for their help and support. In the future, he must live up to everyone's expectations, perform his duties and continue to work hard, and win applause from the guests present.
"Look, this is the man I dream of. I have reached such a status in two years. I'm asking what you did? His real fiancée went to the United States and hasn't dealt with him for so long. It's really embarrassing for our sisters!" Ji Ji whispered.
"I am so familiar with him. Those methods are useless. If you think he is empty, lonely and cold, you can try it yourself if you have the ability. Look at you, you look like you want to pounce on it!"
"There are so many women staring at him. Look at the sisters, their eyes are full of admiration. Fortunately, they are not by Chen Gongbo's side. If this scene appears, they will be so angry!" Liu Nina said.
Everyone knows that Chen Mingxiang is highly valued by Chen Gongbo and the Japanese army. He is definitely a sensational person in the Shanghai market. However, this guy is usually very low-key, but he is just active below the water surface. No one knows how much energy he has. This time he saw his power.
Women are naturally disadvantaged groups, not to mention in this war-torn era, they most desire to find men they depend on and provide safe harbors to protect themselves. This is brought by nature.
"It's not just these twins. Look carefully at Li Shiqun's confidential secretary, Chen Gongbo's confidential secretary, and the Japanese female spy, they almost swallowed him into their stomachs!" Ji Ji said with a smile.
They were born in the world and had few taboos when speaking. They whispered between two women, and they were inevitably out of control in their words.
The words that were said were also true. At this moment, Chen Mingxiang was shining brightly, and with the halo of the host of the cocktail party, there were many beauties present who were moved by him.
"Chen Jun did not say a big deal. The sake tonight is of the Daiginjo level. It should be authentic chrysanthemum brewed from Kobe. It has various seafood, vegetables and sauces. It is also a pure Japanese flavor. The chef has a high craftsmanship and tastes like he has returned to Japan. I can't worry about you so much. Thank you very much!" Tsuda Shizuge said happily.
A group of Japanese generals and Chen Mingxiang sat next to two tables in the corner. Each had dishes on the plate. The waiter specially brought sake and tea, and the food and drink were very lively. Chen Gongbo sat together with the board of directors of the Concession Bureau of the Work Department and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and chatted.
"I just saw the gift you prepared for the guests. The silk pattern and materials are quite good, and the packaging of Biluochun tea is also very high-end. The expenses for this cocktail party must be an amazing number, right? I'm so embarrassed to always make Chen Jun spend money!" said Major General Eicheng, Kinoshita.
Chen Mingxiang's large investment in the Japanese army stationed in Shanghai is quite famous. During festivals, even the grassroots officers of the 13th Army also have the benefits of cigarettes and tea. Until now, the cigarettes smoked by the military police and the 6th Navy team are all special cigarettes produced by his own tobacco factory.
The gifts received by these generals were even more expensive, and there were also big red envelopes. The military police commander Eicheng Major General Kinoshita was so at ease that Huatong Trading Company made money by relying on the military police headquarters, but other institutions were a little guilty and did not give Chen Mingxiang any benefits.
The purpose of Major General Kinoshita Eishima's words is very simple. You cannot enter and exit like a Pixiu. You must be rewarded if you enjoy the benefits provided by Chen Mingxiang for nothing.
"Since it is a gift to the Imperial soldiers, it cannot be measured by money. Without you, there would be no amount of money I am today, and it would be worth it." Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.
"This sounds comfortable, and Chen Jun is right. As long as you work hard for the Japanese Empire, you will get more in the future. The empire will never be stingy to reward its followers." Major General Maeda Masashi said with a smile.
The big men of the Japanese military stationed in Shanghai were very proud of their face. Anyone who received invitations, such as intelligence agencies and non-field troops, came.
What was even more surprising was that the 13th Army Command and the 3rd Fleet Command also sent their respective chiefs of staff to the club as representatives.
Although the two major generals stayed for less than half an hour, drank two glasses of wine, tasted a few dishes and then removed, it at least represented their support and attention to Chen Mingxiang.
The most important military operation of the Japanese army in central China is the second large-scale attack by the 11th Army on Tanzhou. When they speak, they will inevitably talk about this topic.
Tonight, these generals enjoyed authentic wine and dishes from their hometowns and were in a very comfortable mood. Although they were of high status and power, in the occupied areas of China, they would not even think about having such a high-end meal every day.
"The four divisions and four brigades of the 11th Army attacked the ninth war zone of the Shancheng Government. At the beginning, it was very smooth. It broke through the first line of defense of the front enemy in just a few hours, and broke through the second line of defense at 4:00 pm."
"The opponent's fighting will is also very tenacious, and he actually fought to the death. I received a report from the General Command of the Dispatch Army. The Fourth Army of the Shancheng Government and our 40th Division formed a confrontation, while the Third, Fourth and Sixth Divisions had reached the north bank of the Miluo River."
"In general, except for the Dayun Mountain battle in southern Baling, the progress was relatively smooth, and the original plan was basically completed." Ying Zuo Zhenao said with a smile.
"The situation will get better and better. After the Jiangcheng Campaign ended, our intelligence department has been working hard and has deciphered the communication password of the Ninth War Zone."
"The opposing command was informed of the 11th Army Command, and timely adjusted the direction of the attack and made targeted arrangements, intending to kill the 37th Army of the Yama Castle Government in one fell swoop." Major General Maeda Masashi said with a smile.
