Although the mayor’s position was debated from the end of October to the beginning of November, the results were not announced, but this had no effect on Chen Mingxiang. So many traitors lined up, is it his turn?

The Shanghai concession is now in an unprecedented "prosperity" stage. It has reached a level of overcrowding. Housing prices are also rising, but as long as they are willing to spend money, finding a house is not so difficult.

It only took Chen Mingxiang a week to borrow the name of a bodyguard in the French Concession and rent a three-story garden house with a courtyard at a high price in Sinan Mansion, a residential gathering place of celebrities.

Here is a typical French architectural style and layout. The small building is covered with vines, with neatly manicured grass and tree-lined paths. Sitting under the trees, drinking tea, coffee and wine, it is not elegant. It will be used as a residence for Mingyue , Is also the place of "Golden House Cangjiao".

In addition, he rented a very ordinary old western-style house, a two-story building, as the resident of the action team, and it was only an intersection from where Mingyue lived.

"Mr. Frederick, I need to order another batch of weapons, such as shell guns, submachine guns, and sniper rifles. I'd better have two machine guns. The more bullets are the better." Chen Mingxiang came to Dehua International.

"I must find a way to meet your needs. Zhang Xiaolin and Fu Xiaoan were killed. The whole Shanghai stock market is filled with a frightful atmosphere. Everyone is adding bodyguards to strengthen firepower."

"The empire is in war, and there is a great demand for your country’s tung oil and bristles. I also hope that you can purchase a batch for my company and complete the mission given to me by the embassy. Of course, I will pay a higher purchase price than the United Kingdom and the United States. Payment will not hurt you." Frederick said.

Tung oil and bristles are currently the most important strategic materials. Every country’s army has a large demand. China is the main producing country. The German banks in China have received orders from the embassy to purchase tung oil for the imperial war. And bristles, as well as scarce metals such as tungsten ore.

But at the moment the Shancheng government’s main partners are the United Kingdom and the United States, especially the Americans, who are rich in wealth, and the prices offered are very attractive.Next is Japan. Military aggression occupied most of China, and it was also smuggled from the Kuomintang-controlled area at a high price.

In order to be able to grab food from the United States and Japan and meet the supply of military supplies, the German embassy requires major foreign firms to purchase strategic materials at high prices, and the government will provide subsidies.

Frederick lacks the acquisition channel of strategic materials, but his partner Chen Mingxiang is not lacking. He is also the largest smuggler of strategic materials on the Shanghai Stock Exchange.

"For friends, I think it is very precious, please rest assured, give me the order directly, I will find ways to meet your requirements." Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.

As long as he doesn't sell it to the Japanese, he can sell it to anyone. Britain and the United States and Japan are not belligerents, and he has no burden in his heart to sell it to the Germans.

"Excellent, I can guarantee that the weapons and equipment you need will be shipped to the Shanghai stock market within a week, and the price is absolutely low." Frederick said.

"Mr. Frederick, can you help me purchase a few military portable radio stations made in Germany? I need this kind of thing to strengthen our business contacts with the KMT." Chen Mingxiang said.

At this time, Germany's industrial strength is at the forefront of the world, and electronic communication products are no exception. The military radio station made in Germany is one of the best military radio stations and is definitely not inferior to British and American products.

"I will report this matter to the ambassador privately. There should be no problem. Treating my friends, the Empire is very generous and will keep it strictly confidential for you." Frederick didn't think it was a problem.

Military portable radio is used to transmit intelligence, contact and receive instructions. It is an indispensable communication tool. For his latent mission, Chen Mingxiang decided to purchase a few privately as a future reserve.

The more hole cards the enemy doesn't know, the greater the chance of his survival. He is prepared to use his financial resources to build a few more secret reporting points. There is no need to move the radio every time, because the risk factor is too high.

"Chen Jun, Mayor Fu died unfortunately. The special city government will welcome a new mayor. Are you interested in taking up a post in the city government?" Ono Nakasa said with a smile.

"I don't know who the new mayor is in the Jinling government?" Chen Mingxiang asked.

Ono Nakasa suddenly called and invited him to drink tea in the Japanese-occupied area. He knew there must be something, but he never expected that it was a pie in the sky, and the navy wanted to help himself.

During this period of time, due to the blockade of the military police headquarters, Chen Mingxiang did not dare to do business with the Kodama agency. It is estimated that this old devil was also helpless with the military police commander Kinoshita Sakae, and wanted to win over himself in secret.

The position of a city government does not matter to the new mayor. In order to gain the favor of the navy, this matter is sure to be assured.

The teacher only allows himself to be a low-key person, but it is okay to do things in a high-profile manner. There are more lice and itching, and there is no harm in having one more job. The premise is that the military police headquarters must agree to it.

"Our navy recommended to the Jinling government the President of the Legislative Yuan and the Standing Committee Member of the Military Commission Chen Gongbo. This candidate was approved by the dispatched army headquarters and also approved by Chairman Wang. The Jinling government is currently following procedures and will soon announce him. The appointment has been made." Ono Nakasa said.

The competition for this position has been started since the Double Ten, and it is now November 2nd, more than 20 days. Why is it that the mayor’s fatness and deficiency will fall into the hands of Chen Gongbo?

This result is definitely not accidental. First of all, it comes from Wang Jingwei's jealousy of Zhou Nuohai, not allowing this post to fall into the hands of the powerful, but there are indeed not many candidates who are qualified to compete.

The second is that Chen Gongbo has a close relationship with Wang Jingwei. He belongs to the type of high-ranking but no real power in the Wang Puppet government and poses little threat to Wang Jingwei.

Furthermore, Chen Gongbo has a good relationship with the Japanese navy. In the Shanghai stock market, Japan’s most powerful force is not the military police headquarters, but the Marine Corps with thousands of officers and soldiers. This is a force that cannot be ignored.

However, Chen Gongbo once signed a traitorous treaty and sold Hai * South * Island to the Japanese navy. The navy naturally looked at him differently and highly recommended it to Wang Jingwei.

"Ono-kun, the Jinling government and the city government are full of talented people. I have no qualifications and I am too young. I am afraid that I cannot hold important positions. If I become a section chief or director of the city government, it is not shameful enough to say it. Come on!" Chen Mingxiang shook his head and said.

The position of real power in the municipal government is definitely going to fall into the hands of the new mayor. For Chen Mingxiang, a false position is of little significance and it is not necessary at all.

"We have also considered this issue. We will not allow you to assume only a nominal and false position. We have decided to recommend you to serve as the deputy director of the Shanghai Municipal Social Bureau, and a deputy director with real power, in charge of the entire Shanghai stock market's material control work, even if it is Director, there is no restraint on you either." Ono Nakasa said.
