It was almost noon when he came to Tianjin from Peking. Naohiro Murano originally invited Chen Mingxiang to have dinner at a Japanese restaurant, but Chen Mingxiang proposed to go to Dongxinglou Restaurant, and he knew that Chen Mingxiang's purpose was to meet Yoshiko Kawashima.

This old and half-abandoned agent has been very different from the previous two years since he came into contact with Chen Mingxiang. The key is that he has a fixed income and the capital to carry out his own social activities and continue to connect the previous relationship.

"Murano, the glorious period of Kawashima Yoshiko's body is over. She has little value to the empire, but she has been operating in Pingjin for many years. She is a local snake. She must have some resources in her hands. In addition, she is good at socializing, so I may use her in the future."

"With the new policy of the empire, we will continue to expand the scale of the salt farm next, which infringes on the interests of the empire's chaebols and local salt merchants. They must be very dissatisfied with this. With veteran agents like Yoshiko Kawashima watching, maybe they can know some trends in advance." Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.

Of course, eating is an excuse for chatting. Seeing that her financial backer was coming, Yoshiko Kawashima hurriedly asked the chef of the restaurant to make a table of delicacies and accompany her personally, chatting with Chen Mingxiang and Naohiro Murano in the private room. She was responsible for serving tea and pouring water.

As Naohiro Murano said, she has now returned to her former luxury life, with more than 1,000 tons of salt per month, which can bring her income of 300,000 yuan in silver coupons. In addition, Chen Mingxiang has 300,000 yuan in activity funds for 30,000 yuan in silver coupons per month, and her life is very free and easy.

"Miss Kawajima, I wonder if you are familiar with Kitazawa Hei?" Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.

"Ketazawa Hei? He used to be the squad leader of the intelligence squad in the Army Provincial Special Services Agency in Jincheng. Of course, I am very familiar with him. Why did Mr. Chen ask about him?" said Yoshiko Kawashima.

"It's like this. Matsui Nakakura, the head of the Mei agency, is going to serve as the chief of staff at the General Headquarters of the Expeditionary Army. The new head of the agency is Lieutenant General Shibayama, Kazunoro Shibayama, and the intelligence chief of the Ice City Secret Service Office, is the latest appointed intelligence director of the Mei agency." Chen Mingxiang said.

"The news from Chen Jun is really well-versed. I just learned about this matter for only two days. Most people have not received any notice. It will be around the 15th, and the General Shibayama on the 20th will take over the work of the Mei agency." Naohiro Murano said with a smile.

"Your Colonel is joking. I'm just in the Jinling government or central China. It would be too embarrassing if I didn't even know such important news."

"It is normal for North China to know late. Mei's agency has always been responsible for affairs in central China. Strictly speaking, the North China Government Affairs Committee is substantially independent of the Jinling government." Chen Mingxiang said.

The biggest achievement of the Mei agency was to support the Wang Puppet Government. In fact, the sphere of influence was limited to central China, so it would not work well in North China. The puppet North China Government Affairs Committee was supported by the Japanese North China Front Command.

The head of the Mei agency was replaced, and the base camp at most told the North China Front Army headquarters that there was no need to seek the opinions of the North China Front Army, and the relationship between the two sides was not very good.

Of course, a general commander of Okamura Yiji must have known for a long time. If a colonel like Naohiro Murano was not from the military police system, he would probably have not received any news yet.

"How to say Kitazawa Hei, his biggest characteristic is that he hides his knife in his smile. He always looks gentle, treats people very kindly, and is also good at making connections. But his principle of doing things is to doubt everything, and he likes to eliminate it the most. As long as there is a slight doubt, he will not pass the test from him."

"Ketazawa Hei's actions have always been hidden underwater. Before the moment of water comes out, you don't know what he has done. When he was joking with you, he actually started to set up traps. The biggest difference between him and Kojima Naiko is that he is not sure of not taking action." Yoshiko Kawashima said.

Chen Mingxiang was very glad that he came to her to find out the situation. These sentences were very valuable and basically pointed out Kitazawa Hei's personality, suspicious, stubborn, sophisticated, and insidious. These are all places that can be used in the future.

Naohiro Murano still had work in the afternoon, so he didn't stay for too long. He made an appointment to get back to the military police station in the evening, and only Yoshiko Kawashima and Chen Mingxiang were left in the room.

"I want all the information from Kitazawa Hei and Shibayama Kazushiro, the more detailed the information, the better, especially Kitazawa Hei's information, a reward of 10,000 US dollars, but I hope it is worth the money." Chen Mingxiang said straightforwardly.

"I believe that the information I gave will definitely live up to this ten thousand dollars. I heard Mr. Chen say that he wants to expand the scale of the salt farm. I hope to increase the amount of smuggled 1,000 tons of salt every month." Yoshiko Kawashima put forward his own conditions.

"From my point of view, I don't mind if you smuggling more salt to me. The more the quantity, the better. But remember, stop at the right time. The chaebols and salt merchants in North China are very concerned. Of course, you can settle them. I also support this matter. The salt deficiency in central China is very good." Chen Mingxiang said.

The day after arriving in Tianjin, the head of North China Salt Industry Co., Ltd. and Changlu Salt Administration in Tanggu area showed murderous eyes in their eyes. They looked at Naohiro Murano, the captain of the Tianjin Gendarmerie, and Chen Mingxiang, the boss of Haiyuan Salt Industry Co., Ltd., and then took away a large piece of salt field from the Tanggu Salt Field.

But the problem is that they dare not stop this time. The order to draw the salt field came from the special order of the Japanese Consulate General in Peking, Qingxuan Yanze, who was the former minister of the North China Liaison Department of Xingya Academy. The "reason" was that the garrisons in central China and Japanese expatriates in central China had a shortage of salt from Changlu Salt Field.

The chaebols dare to say a few words to the North China Liaison Department of Xingyao Academy, but the Consulate General in Peking is the territory of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and there is a famous institution called the Special Advanced Police Department, which specializes in the Japanese ideological trends.

Haiyuan Salt Industry Company does have the authorization of the 13th Army Command of the General Command of the Sendering Army. It is also very fine salt for garrisons and Japanese expatriates. The monthly supply must reach 400,000 kilograms, which is a quota of 200 tons. However, this salt field can produce at least 10,000 tons per month!

"The Consulate General and the Gendarmerie are harming the interests of the empire. This is a fact that the salt shortage in central China is not due to salt deficiency, but a problem with transportation. The salt output of Lianghuai Salt Field is not much lower than that of our Changlu Salt Field!"
