Wind spy

"Mr. Chen, the first batch of materials has been successfully handed over. The freighter is shipping 1,000 tals of bristles and 4,000 quintals of tung oil to the UK. This is a strategic material that is urgently needed in China. Mr. Ambassador wants me to convey my thanks to you. Thank you for serving us. The help provided." Smythe said.

At the beginning of June, the two sides completed the first transaction. These were indeed the military supplies most desired by Britain during the war. Chen Mingxiang believed that the quantity of goods delivered was doubled, which naturally gained the height of the British. Appreciated.

"The current situation in the concession is not optimistic. I am also worried that there will be war between the two sides. This kind of business will not continue, so I tried my best to fulfill the contract." Chen Mingxiang said.

This sentence is true on the one hand, as long as the eyes are not blind, anyone can see that the rental industry has been controlled by the Japanese. The board of directors of the British and American concessions and the Ministry of Industry Bureau have become decorations and maintain the dignity of face.

Another point is that he wants to spy on information about the war between Japan and the United States. He still lacks sources of such national wars, which is related to whether he can be promoted to major general.

"In view of the importance of the people in the concessions, I have been in frequent contact with the embassy recently and have received some news. In fact, the British government has made a strategic assessment of this. The war between Japan and the United States and the United States is unavoidable. The key is when it will be launched."

"If the sanctions imposed by the United Kingdom and the United States are implemented, Japan loses its oil and steel sources, and its warfare capabilities are greatly reduced. I believe that war will come soon.

"The vast majority of people still don't know that the Japanese prime minister is in private contact with the US government, and they don't want to fight for the time being."

“Japan’s strategy is to hope that the United Kingdom and the United States will recognize Japan’s occupation of China, no longer aid the Yamashiro government’s loans and supplies, and continue to maintain exports to Japan. Then, Japan will withdraw its forces in Southeast Asia and Southeast Asia, thereby maintaining non-aggression. "Smythe said.

Chen Mingxiang was a little stunned. It was really unexpected that Japan actually sacrificed China in exchange for trade relations with Japan to avoid war with the United States. At the same time, it also cut off the Shancheng government's channels for obtaining aid. His intentions are not virulent.

"What is the US government's attitude toward this?" Chen Mingxiang asked.

"The United States is worried about Japan's entry into the Axis powers. This is a major prerequisite. As for China, the issue is secondary, although the United States also has huge interests here."

"Everyone can tell that the war launched by the Japanese army is now in a strategic stalemate, and the hope of victory is very small. Japan's war potential has been fully utilized, and it cannot swallow the vast and populous China."

"In fact, this is a negotiation that cannot be reached, and the requirements of both sides cannot be met by the other, so the British government believes that war is inevitable." Smythe said.

You almost scared me to death. Chen Mingxiang was secretly slandering, but he still decided to report the situation to the head of the bureau. This is only a pre-judgment of the British government. What about the agreement?

Since the Japanese aggressor and the Yamashiro government entered a strategic stalemate, the situation of quick battle and quick resolution no longer exists. The Yamashiro government has the confidence to continue to sustain it, so it ignored the Japanese government's surrender.

In other words, Shangfeng is not very worried that the United States will cut off trade and aid, and China will be destroyed. Without the United States, the war would have to be fought like this.

Up to now, the United States has used material exchanges. In December 27 of the Republic of China, the US government gave the Shancheng government a loan of 25 million US dollars, which required 220,000 barrels of tung oil to pay.

From March to September of the Republic of China, the U.S. government loaned 45 million U.S. dollars to repay the loan with tungsten and tin mines. In the 30th year of the Republic of China, the Stabilization Fund borrowed 50 million U.S. dollars.

With the rapid depreciation of legal currency, US loans are still very important to the Shancheng government. The economy of the Kuomintang Control Area tends to collapse, and the finances have long dried up. If you want to purchase weapons and equipment, you have to rely on loans.

However, the assistance provided by the US government at this stage is not as great as the assistance provided by the Soviet Union, because the US government’s strategy is to first Europe and then Asia.

The prestigious "Lending Act" was just beginning to be effective for China. On the 6th of last month, the US government announced that this method would also apply to the Shancheng government.

"Those international affairs are too far away from me. This time I came to visit you specially, because I have something to ask for your help." Chen Mingxiang said.

At this point, there is nothing new. Chen Mingxiang decided to change the topic. Even he can judge that the Japan-US peace talks are not very reliable.

"Mr. Chen, please say, as long as it is within my ability, it will definitely satisfy you." Smythe said.

"It won't make you too embarrassed. I want to arrange a few people to work in several patrol rooms. This is easy for you." Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.

"Is the special agent headquarters in Japan?" Smythe asked.

As the chief of police, some of the following things can't be concealed from his eyes and ears. He doesn't even have this wrist, so he doesn't deserve to be the chief of police.

Chen Mingxiang is a member of the secret service headquarters and has a special relationship with the Japanese military police headquarters. In his opinion, it must be the two parties who want to arrange their eyes and ears in the patrol room.

"Neither, the secret agent headquarters and the super high school, the insiders of the development of various patrol houses in the public concession, there are enough, of course, these people are definitely not underground parties."

"You can think of them as my people, and their role is to monitor the changes in the concession, especially the raids on the military and the military. Some people want to grasp the behavior of the Japanese army's intelligence agencies." Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.

This sentence mentioned the Japanese army intelligence agency. Smythe's thinking was suddenly distorted by these words. He remembered that the Japanese navy and the army are always incompatible with water and fire, and the relationship between Chen Mingxiang and the Japanese navy , That's not news.

"This is just one sentence to me. You provide me with the name list and positions, and I will make arrangements as soon as possible. Although the Japanese are becoming more and more powerful in the police department, we still have decades of foundation. "

"I also know that the special class of the special high school and the headquarters of the special agents are buying Huatu, wanting to use their familiarity with the concession and their own law enforcement power to spread a big net against the military. However, although I am very disgusted , But there is no way to avoid it."

"In fact, in the Shanghai stock market, the strength of the Japanese navy cannot be ignored. One day in the future, when Japan and the United States go to war, the Marine Corps will play a far greater role than the Japanese Army Gendarmerie."

"The closer your relationship with the navy is, the more you will get in the future. Maybe I have to ask for your help." Smythe said with a wry smile.
