The purpose of dare to love this American is the smuggling business between Huatong Trading Company and the Kuomintang Control Area!

Chen Mingxiang knew what was going on as soon as he heard it. The US Consulate in Shanghai focused on the military supplies smuggled into Shanghai by the Kuomintang Control Area, such as tung oil and bristles, or tungsten ore.

The policy currently implemented by the United States is the Lease Act. For this reason, it has continuously provided military assistance to the United Kingdom. Considering the outbreak of the Soviet-German War, in order to defeat the leader of the Axis powers, Germany, it may also provide assistance to the Soviet Union. Therefore, the demand for raw materials is very high. huge.

China's tung oil and bristles are very important military materials. The former is widely used in the air force and navy, and the latter also has an important position in the navy and army.

In order to cope with the current situation, the US government still feels that it is not enough to do business with the Shancheng government of the Kuomintang Controlled Area alone. The Consulate General in Shanghai shoulders this mission and even wants to intervene in smuggled goods in the Shanghai stock market.

However, when Smyth, the chief of the police department of the Ministry of Industry and Technology, asked himself to discuss cooperation in smuggling materials, he also brought the US government with him. Didn't the US Consulate in Shanghai know about this?

No, according to its authority, the consulate general in Shanghai is the plenipotentiary representative of the United States in the Shanghai stock market, and it must be the party that initiated this cooperation. It is abnormal to not know!

"Your Excellency, you must also know the background of Huatong Trading Company, selling strategic materials to American companies. This is not my level. If it is detected by the Japanese side, it will be a big trouble!" Chen Mingxiang Said calmly.

"Mr. Chen, please don’t worry too much. Since I came to you, there must be a good reason. Huatong Trading Company is indeed relying on the Japanese military police headquarters in Shanghai to do smuggling business with the Kuomintang Control Area, purchasing or redeeming strategic materials. Most of them are also provided to the Japanese army."

"However, Mr. Chen has won the trust of Japan and has high management rights in the company. The Gendarmerie Command in Shanghai does not intervene in the operation at all. What's more, we don't have to trade on the Shanghai stock market."

"I really appreciate Mr. Chen's cooperation with the British side, operating in other areas, so as to avoid the investigation by the Shanghai Military Police Command." Davis said with a smile.

Damn the British, knowing that these so-called gentlemen are simply unreliable, and letting the Americans know about this kind of thing, this adds another risk!

"I'm not quite sure. When the British side negotiated with me, they said they represented the United Kingdom and the United States. Why do you need to deal with me alone?" Chen Mingxiang said curiously.

"Mr. Chen, you may not know the British people well. These British gentlemen have always been selfish. Although under the guise of Britain and the United States, all the tradable goods were shipped to the United Kingdom. Let’s put it this way, they borrowed the name of Britain and the United States. For your own benefit."

"Our US government sent a large number of warships, aircraft, tanks, automobiles, weapons and equipment to the UK, as well as military supplies, and even sacrificed the precious lives of American soldiers to help the UK fight the invaders. But they did such a thing behind the scenes. It shouldn't be!" Davis said.

"Since the British side failed to keep the promise, I can trade with the US side, but I don't really have that much share in my hands."

"Your Excellency must know that the current situation is very complicated, and the Japan-US negotiations do not know what will be the outcome. The two sides are facing war at any time, and the Japanese military's demand for strategic materials is increasing day by day. I am powerless!" Chen Mingxiang said.

Now that Japan's southward strategy has become a foregone conclusion, Chen Mingxiang is also willing to make deals with the US consulate in the final stage, which is good for him.

First, the U.S. government is wealthy and has gained far more benefits than trading with the Japanese. The foreign exchange earned can ease the financial pressure of the Military Regiment Bureau, and the directly affiliated stations can also get additional funds.

Second, the U.S. government is an ally that the head of the Shancheng government relies heavily on. Through the U.S. government, his contributions will be rewarded sooner or later.

Third, the United States is the most worried opponent of the Japanese. It has given the Americans strategic materials that will be used to fight against Japan. This is in line with Chen Mingxiang's intentions.

The reason why he said this is that he still wants to explore the inside story of the Japan-US negotiations. He can't open his mouth and tell Boss Dai that the Japan-US negotiations have failed. What happened on earth must be clarified.

As a consul of the consulate general in Shanghai, he is also equivalent to a high-level diplomat. This Davis must know the content of the negotiations.

"This is certainly not a problem. You can allocate 60% of the share of the deal with the British to our American companies. Moreover, the price we give from the United States is definitely far more than the British. If you can find a way to increase the number, then It couldn't be better."

"As for the negotiations, the two countries are continuing on the surface. In fact, it is difficult to make breakthrough progress. On the 21st of this month, the Secretary of State of the U.S. Government responded to the Japanese ambassador and proposed four items. in principle."

"Respect the territorial and sovereign integrity of other countries, withdraw troops from China, not interfere in the internal affairs of other countries, support the legitimacy of the Shancheng government, be equal to each other, and not use force to change the status quo in the Pacific."

"But the Japanese government may accept this condition very small. They have been insisting that we recognize Manchuria, merge the Shancheng government and the Jinling government to form the central government. Behind the scenes, they still want to manipulate China to serve themselves. This is in line with the United States. It goes against it."

"The governments of the United States, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, etc. have unanimously decided that if the other side still refuses to abandon military operations in Southeast Asia, it will impose a trade embargo and give a final warning," Davis said.

What a warning, everyone is ready to fight, do you still have illusions about Japan?

The news that Chen Mingxiang received trade sanctions was revealed by Riddle. It seems that no war broke out between Japan and the Soviet Union, and the British and American countries, which had hidden their evil intentions, had already lost their patience.

These countries gave up their appeasement policy and began to face the possible situation, and made a counterattack. If Japan attacks Southeast Asian countries and threatens the interests of these capitalist countries in Southeast Asia, they will not hesitate to impose economic sanctions. .

"I agree in principle to secret cooperation between the two parties, but the United States must ensure that it will not arouse the British government's disgust. In fact, I am worried about my safety. I deeply doubt the character of a British gentleman." Chen Mingxiang said.

"The British government now asks for the American government and will not do anything about this. It is tantamount to creating difficulties and obstacles for itself. The specific steps will be linked to the US business representatives to negotiate with you."

"The Foreign Affairs Office is a diplomatic agency of the municipal government. With this status, you can openly enter and exit the US Consulate in Shanghai and negotiate with our personnel. You will not be suspicious of the Japanese side." Davis said.
