"Mizuki-kun, thank you for your trust in me. I am self-aware. I can help you and invest in you, but it is really not possible for me to be the leader of this group."
Chu Lingyun smiled and said, Shuicheng Jun's idea is good. It can really win over a group of Japanese people. Even if the level of these Japanese people is not that high, it can also be of great help to him.
"You are too humble. I think it must be you." Shun Cheng continued to insist. If the leader was not Ishihara Hiroshi, he might not be able to obtain the status he wanted in this group.
"No, there is someone more suitable than me. I will ask his opinion to see if he is interested." Chu Lingyun refused again, but Shuicheng Jun was right. Once this organization is established, the person who leads it must It's him, he won't help others to expand their power.
Hiroshi Ishihara's identity is not enough, so let's find another one.
"Who are you talking about?" Shuicheng Jun was a little confused.
"My classmate, Tomotaka Hosokawa."
Chu Lingyun replied that Shi Yuanheng was a businessman with inherent shortcomings. He had money and ability, but not enough influence.
enough.
He can help some people and gain their trust and gratitude, but over time, he may not be able to suppress those who have power.
The combination of interests is the strongest, but also the most fragile.
Once someone becomes ambitious and wants to take his place, Ishihara Hiroshi's identity cannot bring enough protection.
If he is given time to train young people like Inoue, he will have the confidence to completely control this organization in twenty years.
But he didn't have this time. The war of resistance only lasted eight years. It was destined that he couldn't choose people of too low a level from the beginning. Choosing them would be a waste of time.
Once they have been cultivated, the battle is over.
"Hosokawa Tomotaka."
Shuicheng Jun's heart tightened. He naturally knew this person. Not long ago, the search for the young master of the Hosokawa family made a big fuss.
Whoever can find Hosokawa Tomotaka will be grateful to the Hosokawa family.
Today, the Hosokawa family is even more prosperous. After uniting with the Konoe family, it can be called the first family in Japan.
The combination of Konoe and Hosokawa is impossible for ordinary people to shake.
If Hosokawa Tomotaka is willing, he is indeed the most suitable person.
But if Hosokawa takes the lead, then the most important person in the group will be Ishihara Toru, and his status will decline. He wants Ishihara Toru to be the leader and himself to be the assistant.
Now it is equal to Ishihara Hiroshi occupying his position.
"Ishihara-kun, Master Hosokawa is naturally the most suitable, but his status is too noble, so he may not agree."
Shuicheng Jun said carefully, Chu Lingyun glanced at him, and Chu Lingyun had guessed his little thoughts.
After the group was established, if Tomotaka Hosokawa had not taken the lead and organized it, Shun Mizuki would have become the biggest threat in a few years, forcing him to get rid of this person.
Shuicheng Jun has great ambitions and will not always be willing to play second fiddle to him.
Only Hosokawa Tomotaka can suppress him and dare not let him have second thoughts.
"It doesn't matter. I'll go ask. If you don't agree, just let him name it."
Chu Lingyun smiled and shook his head. Shuicheng Jun was stunned and asked hurriedly: "Can you find Master Hosokawa?"
"No, but I have a way to contact him." Chu Lingyun shook his head. He would not admit casually that he could find Hosokawa Tomotaka, otherwise the Hosokawa family would come to him soon and force him to reveal the whereabouts of Hosokawa Tomotaka.
"Okay, I hope Master Hosokawa can agree,
If he is willing to take the lead, I believe more people will be willing to join us. "
Shuicheng Shun understood that he could not change Ishihara Hiroshi's attitude.
It is not without benefits that Hosokawa Tomotaka is the leader. First of all, it will be more attractive. After all, the Hosokawa family has deep roots and many people want to have a relationship with them.
Secondly, with Master Hosokawa around, ordinary people would not dare to deal with them even in the early stages, and it can increase everyone's influence, including him.
"Waicheng
Jun, you go back and compile a list to see who is suitable for us. There should not be too many people at first. Me, Ikegami, Takemoto, and you. We already have four people. If Hosokawa-kun agrees, it will be five. Find four more. People, the initial number is positioned at nine. "
"In addition, don't look for someone from a department. It's best to find someone with strong abilities and potential who has no chance to develop, such as you.
Chu Lingyun looked deeply at Shuicheng Jun. He didn't know Shuicheng Jun's ability, but he couldn't be too bad if he could come up with such an idea.
With Hosokawa Tomotaka here, I am not afraid that he is capable. If he really has other ideas, he can be eliminated at any time.
Now his greatest value to Chu Lingyun is his connections.
"Yes, I will carefully screen and select four real
People who are willing to walk with us. "
Shuicheng Jun immediately agreed. He noticed that Inoue was not on the list.
Inoue's level is too low to play any role, or in other words, he is currently not qualified to join this group. When he grows up in the future, there may be hope.
"Thank you for your hard work, Mizicheng-kun."
When Chu Lingyun stood up, Shuicheng Jun understood that he was seeing off a guest and immediately said goodbye.
Although we are only looking for four people, these four people are very critical. According to Ishihara Hiroshi, we must find four people who are capable but have no connections or development opportunities.
Although his goal has not been fully achieved today, Ishihara Hiroshi has agreed and is willing to establish such an organization.
If Tomotaka Hosokawa disagrees and has no interest in participating, this organization will definitely be established, and Ishihara Hiroshi will no longer be able to take the lead.
In addition, the four people he found must be grateful to him because he introduced them.
It will be of great help to him in the future.
Shuicheng Jun was very motivated. After he left, Chu Lingyun was sitting in the office, thinking about the pros and cons of this organization.
There are definitely advantages. If you can really win over a group of Japanese middle-level officers, you will not only be able to obtain intelligence, but even a certain degree of success.
To a certain extent, he can influence some of Japan's decisions.
Big ones are not enough, but in Shanghai, he definitely has a big say in some small matters. This is very important and the biggest benefit.
The disadvantage is that these people will involve a lot of his energy, and money is secondary. He has enough money to clear the way for these people, but what he lacks is time.
Fortunately, the current webmaster of Shanghai Station is Wang Yuemin, and Ni Loach and Shen Hanwen have also grown up. Giving them more burdens can save some of their own time.
If it were still Chen Shu, he wouldn't be able to do this with peace of mind unless Chen Shu was dealt with.
What would be a good name for this organization?
Jun Shuisheng wondered whether Hosokawa Tomotaka would agree. Chu Lingyun had already considered the name. Whether Hosokawa Tomotaka agreed or not depended entirely on his mood.
In less than half an hour, Chu Lingyun had thought of a name, and it was quite suitable.
"Thank you, sir."
In the Second Wing of the Aviation Department, Ikegami excitedly bowed his head and saluted Goto Takeshi. During this period, he had made many military exploits. Goto Takeshi specially called him over today to help him apply for promotion to major.
It didn't take long for him to be promoted to captain, and it was all the credit of Toru Ishihara that he was promoted to major so quickly.
"After you are promoted, you will take over the military department and work hard from now on.
Goto Takeshi smiled and nodded. Ikegami was very obedient and understood what he wanted. He was unambiguous in doing things. He did a good job last time when he robbed the airport.
The five old planes at the airport brought him 30,000 yen in income.
For him, this is not a small sum of money, and he can get it with peace of mind, without having to worry about any problems.
After the planes were sent out, he paid no more attention to them. The Fourth Division could use these planes for whatever they wanted, even as toys.
Anyway, it would be of no use to them and would take up space.
They have no shortage of aircraft. Such old aircraft and navy aircraft naturally look down upon them.
They don’t have logistical support for navy stuff. These navy red deer,
The screws are different from theirs, which means that if a screw is broken, it must be customized. It is strange that they want such a thing.
"Thank you, sir. I will definitely work harder." Ikegami lowered his head again. Applying does not mean that you will be promoted. There are many people who apply each time, and only some of them can be promoted.
His merits are sufficient, but the disadvantage is that the promotion time to captain is a bit short.
But the captain paid for it with his life, and he almost didn't die on the battlefield.
He wanted to tell Ishihara Hiroshi the news as soon as possible and ask Ishihara Hiroshi to help him think of a way to ensure that this promotion was foolproof.
"Go ahead."
Goto Takeshi asked Ikegami to leave. Ikegami had no backer before, but now he is his backer.
In this way, Chishang is his person, helping his own people get promoted. Chishang is sensible, has eyes, and can continue to get a lot of good things, so why not do it.
After leaving the wing captain's office, Chishang ran outside happily.
He quickly drove the car and went straight to the public concession. "Ishihara-kun."
He came to the trading house many times, and everyone here knew him. Knowing that Ishihara Hiroshi was in the tea room, he went directly upstairs, opened the door and entered the tea room.
Chu Lingyun is there, and Shuicheng Jun is also there.
After Shuicheng Jun went back to think about it, he finally selected a list of eight people instead of four.
He can't make all the decisions, he has to let Ishihara Hiroshi make the choice.
He only handed over a list of four people, which would make Ishihara Hiroshi think he had other ideas.
"Ikegami-kun is here, sit down and wait for me for a while.
Chu Lingyun was looking through the information of eight people. Chishang had never met Shuicheng Jun before, so he nodded to Shuicheng Jun and knelt down in front of the tea table.
"Shuicheng Jun, these eight people you chose are all good." Chu Lingyun read the information and found that the eight people were in different departments, with high and low levels. The highest one was lieutenant colonel, and the lowest one was captain.
This lieutenant colonel is forty-two years old and is not young. Because he has no connections, he does not know how to curry favor with others. He has once offended his superiors. He has been in the position of lieutenant colonel for eight years and has no hope of promotion.
He worked at the Shanghai Dispatch Army Headquarters. The unit was good, but the yamen there was too big and there were many generals. He was not conspicuous as a lieutenant.
A Lieutenant Colonel is actually the captain of the guard, and is responsible for peripheral security, purely patrolling or security work.
This lieutenant colonel can stay because he has the rank, and the next step is to become a colonel, and his arrogance has been worn away over the years. No matter who can help him, it will be easy for him to be grateful.
In addition to him, Chu Lingyun selected three more majors.
He didn't ask for a captain. He didn't have the time to help a captain get promoted. Chishang's promotion consumed a lot of his energy.
In terms of strength, the transition from lieutenant to assistant officer is a hurdle in itself. Without merit and money, it is impossible to be promoted quickly.
"Just the four of them. Find a time to invite them over and I'll meet them."
Chu Lingyun said to Shuicheng Jun. Shuicheng Jun saw the information of the four people and immediately lowered his head and responded: "Yes, don't worry, I will notify them immediately."
"No need to be in such a hurry, Mizujo-kun, let me introduce you. This is Ikegami-kun. He is currently working in the Goto Regiment of the Aviation Department. His current position is captain, but he will soon be promoted to major."
Chu Lingyun introduced, and Ikegami said anxiously: "Sir Goto helped me apply today. I have done enough credit. I believe it won't take long for me to be promoted."
"Congratulations, Ikegami-kun, your wish is finally coming true."
Chu Lingyun smiled and looked at Shuicheng Jun again: "I didn't finish what I just said. Ikegami-kun is from the Hosokawa family. After being promoted to major this time, he will definitely become a retainer of the Hosokawa family."
Ikegami was a captain before, so he was a bit unqualified to be a retainer.
After all, his father is still here. If he is promoted to major, has a very good position, is accepted by the head of the family, and becomes a real retainer, there will be no problem.
Although the retainer has the title "chen", he is truly one of his own people.
Moreover, there are not many real retainers in the Hosokawa family.
There are more than a hundred people, and they all enjoy the support and care given to them by the Hosokawa family.
"Ishihara-kun, without you, I might not be promoted to major until I retire.
Ikegami said sincerely that Shuicheng Shun knew him and Inoue had mentioned it before.
Inoue is very honest, and it is not an exaggeration at all. Ishihara Hiroshi really has such a great influence on Ikegami.
After Ikegami becomes a true retainer of the Hosokawa family, his identity and status will definitely be improved.
"Ikegami-kun, you're welcome. This is Major Jun Shuisheng. He is the Empire's teacher at the Army Military Academy in Shanghai and Inoue's teacher.
"Hello Mizujo-kun."
Ikegami immediately nodded to Shuicheng Shun. He was another major and Inoue's teacher, so he did not neglect him.
"Ikegami-kun."
Shuicheng Jun returned the favor, and Ikegami and Ishihara Hiroshi came into contact earlier and had a closer relationship.
It is true that he is a major, but unfortunately he has no power and no money. There is no way to compare with the captain Chishang.
Not to mention, Ikegami will soon become a major like him.
"Ikegami-kun, Colonel Gotou is not General Matsumoto. General Matsumoto has great influence in the military, while Colonel Gotou is slightly less influential. Don't worry, I will find a way to clear the way for the military."
Department, make your promotion foolproof. "
Chu Lingyun took the initiative to say that Chi Shang was overjoyed and that this was the reason why he came this time.
Ishihara-kun is right. General Matsumoto's rank is major general, but he has strong connections, and the military police supervises the military and police, which is one level higher than a senior officer.
An ordinary second lieutenant can arrest a major, and a major can arrest a major general. One can imagine the power of General Matsumoto.
As long as General Matsumoto is willing, there is no problem with Takemoto's promotion.
Goto Takeshi is far behind General Matsumoto. His application may be rejected. Now with Ishihara-kun's promise, Ikegami no longer has any worries.
