Chapter 869: You Have to Do It
"What are you kidding?" Li Xianshu asked back, "You have known me for so long, have I ever joked with you?"
Chen Yang was stunned for a while, and murmured: "But, I am different from those people. Their circle emphasizes background and connections."
"Aunt, if you put me in there, it's like putting a catfish in a group of sardines."
“I can eat fish.”
"That's not a problem." Li Xianshu shook her head and said, "Putting you in was the result of my communication with the Army Department."
"Lu Bingyuan is the vice mayor of Shanghai and one of the top leaders of the Central Executive Committee."
"His position is very special and important. If you don't sit there, then Jinling will send someone to sit there."
"Who do you think this person could be?"
Chen Yang shook his head in confusion. He knew something about what was happening in Jinling, but he didn't care too much.
Li Xianshu said in a deep voice: "There is only one person, Mr.'s godson, Minister Lin of the Propaganda Department."
"Minister Lin?" Chen Yang vaguely recalled the figure who was scared to pee on the podium by a bomb a few years ago.
The power of the bomb that Musashi dropped in high school was really limited, otherwise, the grass on Minister Lin’s grave would probably be two meters high.
"It's no big deal for Minister Lin to come to Shanghai." Chen Yang shrugged and said, "What can he do?"
"You are confused. You think Minister Lin came to Shanghai to fight for power," Li Xianshu scolded, "His purpose is the same as ours in promoting you."
"He needs political capital, and this is the last step that you can do for him."
"Do you think it would be appropriate for Minister Lin to partner with Dean Chen in the future?"
"Even if you haven't read many history books, do you think it's reasonable to let Chai Rong's descendants serve as prime ministers for the Zhao family?"
"Even if he is willing to be the second-in-command, what will the people below think? Will they remove Minister Lin from the position like they did in the Chenqiao mutiny?"
In fact, when Li Xianshu mentioned Minister Lin, Chen Yang had already thought of the following question.
The Japanese need stability, but not too much stability. This means that there can be chaos below, but there must be no chaos above.
Because once the top is in chaos, the bottom will be out of control. If the top is fine, no matter how much trouble the people below make, the backbone is still there.
Minister Lin is Mr.'s godson, and President Chen is the one who will take over Mr.'s position.
Minister Lin and President Chen are working together, which is equivalent to Chai Rong's death, the Zhao family took the throne, and then immediately appointed Chai Rong's descendants as the generals of national defense.
Chai Rong is dead, but there are still many people from the Chai family in the Zhao family's empire. Who knows whether this great general who protects the country will become the second Emperor Taizu.
Therefore, the Chai family can only be idle marquises and can never have power.
Minister Lin can only be Minister Lin, and he must not go any further...
Li Xianshu leaned back in her chair and said slowly, "In fact, if you take this position, it will also be beneficial for your trade with the Soviets."
"Jinling has always wanted to compete with Shancheng, and they have also been trying to make overtures to the Soviet Union."
"If you take this position, the other party will be able to find a suitable reason to trade with you."
"By the way, I heard that Mogeev has already arrived in Shanghai, why haven't you taken any action yet?"
Chen Yang smiled and said, "Aunt, we are not the ones who are anxious now. It's just like cooking. We need a little heat."
"Well," Li Xianshu nodded and said, "I won't ask about Mogayev's affairs."
"If you have any difficulties, tell Matsushima-kun and the consulate will coordinate."
"As for the matter of the deputy mayor, you wait for the news. It would be best if you could let those idiots under your command catch the assassins of the Military Control Commission, and then you can take the position naturally."
"However, I think this is quite difficult. If you don't have any clues, just catch a death row inmate to help."
Chen Yang nodded and said, "I understand. I'll go back first."
Li Xianshu nodded softly.
Chen Yang bowed slightly to Li Xianshu, then turned and left the office.
I had just gone downstairs and before I could even go out, Matsushima Hisao chased me out again.
"Minister Chen, please wait a moment. Iwai-kun has some information to give you."
"It's a good thing you're here, so I don't have to go to the Joint Transportation Department."
Chen Yang smiled slightly and said, "What kind of information is so important?"
Matsushima Hisao bowed slightly, made an inviting gesture and said, "Iwai-kun's intelligence team cracked the radio station of the German Southern Army Group."
"They are currently fighting on Soviet territory south of the border."
"This telegram is the combat order conveyed to them by the headquarters."
"Iwai Agency has such talent who can crack the German Army's radio station?" Chen Yang was a little surprised.
Matsushima Hisao said without disguising: "Oh, this is a group of intelligence experts from Poland. They are very familiar with the German radio stations and their codes."
Poles? No wonder.
If we were to say which country Chen Yang hates the most in the world, Poland would definitely be one of them.
This small country in Europe is indeed hated by everyone, which is quite an easy thing to do.
Why does everyone hate Poland so much?
Because this is a country with a stronger desire for expansion than the Soviet Union, more fascist than the German Nazis, more racist than the Axis powers, more eager to invade China than Japan, more keen on colonization than Spain, and more of a troublemaker than Britain.
When Japan invaded China, all countries said no to Japan, but Poland sent a telegram expressing its full support.
As for their reputation in Europe, there is no need to mention it. Have you ever seen a country being destroyed three times?
Hisao Matsushima took Chen Yang through a rain corridor and walked to a house behind the consulate.
The guards here are obviously much stricter than those in the front. There are almost half a squadron of nearly a hundred people patrolling with live ammunition, and there are sentries watching every few steps.
The reason for such tight defense is naturally because this is the location of the consulate’s most stringent intelligence agency, the Iwai Agency.
Hisao Matsushima took Chen Yang into the room without any obstruction.
The defense inside is the same as outside, with sentries guarding every few steps, but their positions are limited to outside the room.
Hisao Matsushima walked to a room at the end of the corridor, opened the door, asked Chen Yang to sit on the sofa, and then asked someone to notify Sadatoshi Iwai to come over.
The guard received the order and hurried to the other side of the corridor.
After waiting for a few minutes, the guard came back, followed by the head of the Iwai Agency, Iwai Sadatoshi.
"Minister Chen, I know you are coming. I am so busy that I cannot greet you in person. Please forgive me."
Iwai Sadatoshi was quite polite.
Chen Yang waved his hand and said, "Iwai-kun, you don't have to be so polite. I heard from Matsushima-kun that you have important information?"
Iwai Sadatoshi handed the report to Chen Yang with both hands and said, "The intelligence team has deciphered the combat telegram sent by the German headquarters to the Southern Army Group."
"The German Southern Army Group's target was not Kyiv, they intended to attack Moscow."
"Code name: Operation Typhoon."
