"Fu Xiaoan doesn't look at when it is, he insists on holding a double-decade mass party. He is watching the excitement and it is not too big of a problem. If the army destroys it, I will be in the wrong." Li Shiqun complained. Said.

The Double Ten Festival is a festival of the Shancheng government, but after the establishment of the Wang Puppet government, everything must be copied from the Shancheng government to show its "orthodox" qualifications.

Fu Xiaoan, the mayor of the pseudo-Shanghai special city government, decided to do it a little more grandiosely and create momentum for the city government. This plan was appreciated by the Japanese.

But for Li Shiqun and police chief Lu Ying, it was a scalp-scratching problem. For such a big event, security is a thankless job to worry about, and no one appreciates it.

"I don't think the director should worry about this. The military and the central government should also consider the impact and damage the lives of the people. International public opinion must strongly criticize the Shancheng government. They cannot afford the serious consequences."

"If you really want to do this, there will be no place for them in the concession. No one wants to keep dangerous elements by their side. For long-term considerations, the more they are at this time, the more honest they will be. Let the brothers protect important government officials. There won't be too many problems." Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.

"You are right. I was confused by this incident. I didn't expect this. By the way, has the inspection team received a notice from the Gendarmerie Headquarters to lift the material inspection at the checkpoint?" Li Shiqun asked.

"It's not clear yet. The Gendarmerie Command did not speak, and I dare not ask. It is said that Japanese companies praised the actions of the Gendarmerie Command, thinking that this is the performance of their duties, and hopes to continue to increase their efforts to prevent contraband. The output of this is simply nonsense!" Chen Mingxiang shook his head and said.

The old devil Kinoshita Sakae is indeed insidious. The new official took office with three fires. The first fire was very successful. It not only earned a large amount of income, but also gave a satisfactory account to Japanese companies. He is a conscientious military police commander. official.

"This matter will not last for long. I heard from the Qing Qi of the plum agency that the Japanese Army Command and the Navy Command are very dissatisfied with the actions of the Gendarmerie Command, because while reducing the export of contraband, they also lack the Resources for material exchange in Jiangtong District."

"You also know that both sides need supplies in short supply. Smuggling exists not only because it is driven by interests, but also from a strategic military perspective. In other words, this is a tacit rule." Li Shiqun said.

Large-scale smuggling originates from military and government officials in the Jiangtong District, or collusion with businessmen. The transaction method adopted by this group is not cash, but in exchange for materials.

Those who directly transport the goods to the Shanghai Stock Exchange for money are small-scale smuggling, basically some vendors or local forces, occupying a small share of smuggling.

Large-scale smuggling imported tung oil, rosin, wood, bamboo, grain, pig bristles, tea and other materials into the Shanghai stock market in exchange for Western medicine, rubber tires, hardware, machine tools, communication equipment, cane sugar and cotton yarn. Shipped to the Kuomintang Control Area for sale for huge profits.

Although such behavior indirectly increased the enemy's strength, on the other hand, the Kuomintang-controlled area must also be imported. Since it was tightly sealed by the Japanese army, both the army and the ordinary people are in a very bad situation.

The army’s car tires are broken and cannot be replaced, the arsenal lacks machine tools and raw materials, and the communications department lacks electronic components, all of which are detrimental to combat effectiveness.

The impact on the common people is even greater. The supply of finished fabrics is insufficient, and clothes and shoes are a problem. Even screwdrivers are difficult to buy on the market. Prices are rising rapidly. This phenomenon can only be solved by smuggling.

As for the Japanese army, domestic resources are extremely scarce, and a large number of field troops cannot be replenished with strategic materials. Each place has its own characteristics, and not everything is available in the occupied area.

More importantly, the battlefield that the Japanese army will face is not only a country in China, but also more battles to fight. The competition is for world hegemony. Under such a situation, both the navy and the army will urgently need the KMT. The resources make up for this shortcoming.

A large part of the materials exchanged by the Shanghai stock market smugglers from the Kuomintang Control Area are sold to the Japanese army. In other words, behind these people is the support of the Japanese military. They are just selling dog meat. It cannot be said that they are related to the Japanese. Cooperation.

The inspection team stuck at the gate and did not let it go. As a result, materials in the Shanghai stock market could not flow out, and materials in the Kuomintang Control Area could not be exchanged. The Japanese military's plans were greatly restricted.

"The water in this pond is too mixed. We all know the crux of the matter. However, Japanese companies are always whistling and crooked at the back, constantly stabbing the military police headquarters. General Kinoshita was also very jealous, and he dared not make it. Order to unblock."

"Especially a few large textile and tobacco companies have complained to the country every day without reluctance. The section chief of Gangcun is also in distress. Fortunately, the military has not made a clear statement so far."

"These businessmen who rely on the Japanese army to wage war to obtain huge wealth, once they touch their interests, they will gang up and attack them. There are even reports that the inspection team should be cancelled and the material inspections will be handed over to the material control system they set up. Committee to manage." Chen Mingxiang said.

"They are wishful thinking. The Japanese army really needs their support to start the war, but it is not around them. It only cares about making money, but ignores the status quo of the army. It is a strange thing not to be unlucky. Don't worry, this situation will soon be over. It's going to change." Li Shiqun said with a sneer.

It is not only the Huatong Trading Company but also the Southeast Trading Company that are hated by Japanese companies. These two wantonly smuggle cotton yarn and finished fabrics to the Kuomintang Control Area, as well as cigarettes and other materials, have become thorns in the eyes of Japanese businessmen, and they can’t get rid of it. fast.

Li Shiqun certainly knows the significance of the establishment of the inspection team. This is not an organization that the Gendarmerie Command came up with. It contains multiple meanings.

The main premise is to take into account the policy orientation, which is a question of attitude. At present, the two sides are in a hostile relationship. To put it more clearly, smuggling is an adversary that the two governments have explicitly prohibited!

With the presence of the inspection team, it means that things can be done, but they can't make any announcements. Keeping the current state, the Japanese military can close one eye and pretend not to know it and it's over.

When things are made public, transactions cannot be done. Just like the way Huatong Trading Company does things, it never says that the backstage is the Gendarmerie Command.

The Japanese army is not afraid of smuggling infamy. For state violent agencies, businessmen are just like that. But the problem is that the Shancheng government is afraid!
