Chapter 301 Expansion of Trade Objects

In order to target the rising Soviet Union, the Anglo-American strategy for Japan is a policy of appeasement, hoping that by not interfering in Japan's war of aggression, this disaster will be directed to the Soviet Union, which has made the West unable to eat and sleep at night.

Regarding the various atrocities committed by the Japanese invaders in China, especially the massacre that occurred in Jinling, they did not express their stance, and they also sold strategic materials such as steel, oil, machinery and automobiles to Japan. This is actually typical. Conniving behavior.

Although Japan has participated in the Axis powers, it is not a belligerent country with Britain and the United States, especially the Americans. At this time, they are still hesitating to make unrealistic fantasies, and are unwilling to tear their skin with the Japanese because of China's affairs.

The Yamashiro government counts on the United Kingdom and the United States to help put pressure on the Japanese government and rescue the kidnapped bank staff. That is similar to a dream. It can be morally supported, so don't think about substantive measures.

"His Excellency Smythe must also know that although I hold the position of director of the inspection office at the secret service headquarters, it is just a false title. The main job is the inspection team and the Huatong Trading Company, and I have basically no other affairs."

"I can understand the current difficult situation of the Ministry of Industry and the Police. The Shanghai stock market is a Japanese-occupied area. It is indeed not a wise choice to conflict with the occupying forces here."

"A few days ago, the family members of the secret service headquarters were arrested by the patrol room, but the police officer in question could only return to the country. The police department of the Ministry of Industry did not look good."

"As long as you do not touch the foreigners in the concession and encounter other problems, I think it is better to avoid some of them. After all, the international situation has a great impact on the United Kingdom and the United States." Chen Mingxiang said.

No matter what Smythe said these words, Chen Mingxiang did not intend to take up the words, and also expressed his own attitude. It is meaningless to say to me that it involves the secret agent headquarters.

At the same time, it also points out the fact that the concession is slowly losing its status. In fact, you can't hold it anymore. Before, how could the Japanese dare to treat the British and American concessions like this?

The police chief of the Ministry of Industry and Industry Bureau in the concession is a position with real power. Although the Japanese are becoming more and more powerful now, as long as everyone does not go to war, the Anglo-American concession involves public security matters.

Chen Mingxiang was very wary of Chimu's remarks. He worried that a large number of patrols in the patrol house in the concession would be bought off, which would bring disaster to the first district of Juntong Shanghai.

He has not yet been exposed to threats, and the Special High School and the Special Agent Headquarters have not suspected him. This is also caused by several reasons.

On the one hand, because the bureau's headquarters adopted the highest level of encryption measures for his files, no one except Boss Dai and Pan Qiwu could see it, and the authority was insufficient.

The second aspect is that there are very few people who know this code name, and there is no accident right now, but Chen Gongshu in Shanghai area knows it, the operator knows it, and perhaps the secretary general knows, once caught by the secret service headquarters, his code name will be Can't keep it.

In the third aspect, the image of his painstaking efforts is not to touch the intelligence and not participate in the operation. As an unaware person, the previous intelligence leaks cannot be suspected by anyone.

It is conceivable that if the enemy knows that there is a military control agent hidden in his heart, how much attention will be paid to the special high school and the special agent headquarters, and the person will have to be found by digging three feet.

The reason why he came to visit Smythe was to use business cooperation to deepen personal relationships, to spy on intelligence when necessary, or to use the hands of the police to disrupt Akagi's activities.

"I know that Mr. Chen’s Huatong Trading Company has been secretly doing business with the Kuomintang Controlled Area, and its monthly transaction volume has reached millions of legal currency, and it has provided the Japanese with a large number of strategic materials, such as bristles, tung oil, rosin, etc. ."

"At the moment, my home country, Britain, is at war with Germany and needs a lot of strategic materials to support. Given the special location and status of the concession, the government requires us to purchase these military resources for the country. I hope to cooperate with Mr. Chen's company. "Smythe decided to change the subject.

Before that, Chen Mingxiang's remarks were a humiliation to the British Empire. When did the Empire fear Japan, a newly emerging military power?

But the problem is that the facts are right here. The inside story may not be well understood by ordinary people, but Chen Mingxiang knows it well. People are right. There is indeed a dilemma in the concession.

Without the strong force of the country as support, it is impossible for this kind of land leased in a foreign country to maintain its own special status.

"Since your Excellency Smith knows that I am purchasing supplies for the Japanese army, he can certainly understand that without the support and acquiescence of the Japanese army, this trade transportation line would not exist." Chen Mingxiang said.

"Mr. Chen has a business vision. Seeing the sharp increase in demand for supplies during the war, profits will be several or even ten times higher. To be honest, the purchase price of the Japanese army is much higher than that of the Shancheng government."

"Take the example of tung oil and bristles. The price of tung oil from the Shancheng government at the junction of Henan and Anhui is 70 yuan, and the price for Japanese companies is 400 yuan. The price for the bristles of the Shancheng government is currently three thousand and five yuan. Pay six to seven thousand yuan."

"Our Anglo-American company will definitely give you the greatest profit. Tung oil can give you fifty dollars a palon, a thousand yuan in legal currency, five hundred dollars in bristle, and ten thousand in legal currency, all paid in U.S. dollars."

"The China Reserve Certificates and fiat currencies are raging, and you know that these two currencies are not reliable. The China Reserve Certificates do not even have a reserve. Holding such money, I don't know when it will become waste paper."

"The fiat currency was originally ten to three with the U.S. dollar, and one hundred fiat currency was equal to 30 dollars. Now, it is almost one dollar to twenty fiat currency. The currency value is still being reduced. During the war, foreign exchange was in hand, which is also a kind of Guaranteed." Smythe said with a smile.

This foreign devil is very good at seizing the opportunity. Such a person should be the military procurement minister, not the police chief.

In fact, this type of conversation doesn't have any advanced skills, or it doesn't require skills. The money is rich and the dollar is smashed. If you don't believe you, you are not tempted!

Without much consideration, Chen Mingxiang decided to agree to this cooperation. On the one hand, it was from the boss Dai of the Military Statistics Bureau that it was better for the British and American countries than for the Japanese devils who invaded China.

On the other hand, for the US dollar, Anglo-American companies have high profits and make more money. In order to deal with the future situation, no money is absolutely impossible.

"Since your Excellency treats each other so frankly, I also tell you the truth. It is not impossible to consider mutual benefit for everyone. Money can be delivered in the Shanghai stock market, but the goods cannot be traded in the Shanghai stock market. We just finished the transaction on the front foot and the Japanese military police on the back foot I'm going to arrest people at my house. This is the first condition." Chen Mingxiang said.

"This is no problem. The Japanese government does not dare to conflict with the British and American governments. The Japanese military police will not inspect the goods of British and American companies at will. I mainly consider whether the quantity can be guaranteed." Smith said.
