No wonder the inspection team was seized of power, and the Shanghai stock market could not be exchanged with the Kuomintang Controlled Area, but there was no strong reaction from the Japanese high-level officers. It was because these Japanese companies needed to produce military supplies for the war!

The Japanese chaebols were also one of the bane of the war. These greedy and shameless Japanese businessmen frantically plundered mineral resources, grain, coal, cotton, raw silk, salt and other resources in various parts of China. They also seized and forcibly controlled China’s factories and carried out actions against China’s industry and commerce. Control, committed a heinous crime.

The two most famous chaebols, Mitsui and Mitsubishi, acted the most despicable, even selling drugs in the occupied areas and forcing the people to plant opium. This was promoted by the various liaison departments of the Xingya Institute, and behind the Japanese government's wolf ambitions.

The Japanese military and Japanese chaebols were like grasshoppers on a rope during World War II. The military relied on the chaebols to provide materials and weapons to conduct criminal wars. The chaebols needed the military to occupy land and population through wars and provide various resources. For production and sales.

This close relationship has caused the military to take into account the needs of the chaebols when launching wars. It is not surprising that this happened.

"Your Excellency, I think if this phenomenon is not contained, the imperial army will suffer the loss if we continue to toss for a long time. And you also understand that smuggling this pond is very mixed and involves a huge interest group." Chen Mingxiang Put on a posture for the imperial army.

In fact, of course he wanted to find out when the war started. Logistics supply is related to the success or failure of the war. The Central China Liaison Department of the Xingya Institute must know some secrets.

"I'm not very clear about the exact time. The preparation period given by the military is six months. In fact, the senior leaders have not made up their minds. After all, the new strategy will touch the interests of Western powers such as Britain and the United States."

"Next month, the imperial army will have a military operation to drive into the southern part of the French Indochina region to test the reaction of the British and American countries, so as to make reference for the final decision. Chen Jun, the more fierce they are, the more they will actually treat you. It's good." Shizue Tsuda said meaningfully in the last sentence.

Strictly speaking, these words are leaks, but to Chen Mingxiang, who participated in the war logistics, they are not leaks.

The Japanese army had already stationed troops in the northern part of French Indochina. This time it was only a military move to the southern region, and it did not mean war.

Senior Japanese officials, officials from the consulates of various countries in Shanghai, officials from the municipal government, and officials from various districts and counties left the venue one after another after more than half an hour. This was just a social event. When people arrived, they gave the city government and Chen Mingxiang face.

Now that the big people are gone, the cocktail party has also entered a lively stage. The Shanghai Stock Exchange, an international metropolis, has a very rich nightlife. Many people plan to play in the club until ten o'clock before going out to continue to be chic.

"Commissioner Chen, you don't seem to be very honest tonight!" Mo Guokang returned to his seat, looking at him with a smile.

After the meeting, Chen Gongbo was in a bad mood. He and Zhou Aohai and Ding Mocun went to find a place to continue their discussions. This gave her a chance to dance to the rhythm of the music.

"To the gorgeous Miss Mo, if you are a man, you won't go anywhere, if you blame it, you are so charming!" Chen Mingxiang went to the dining table and brought her a plate of pastries and a plate of fruit.

Say I'm not honest?Are you kidding me?

With Chen Mingxiang's identity, it refers to the identity of a potential agent. Even if Mo Guokang took the initiative, he would not cross the line. Anything must have a bottom line. If Chen Gongbo is offended, it is not worth the gain.

Besides, although this woman is beautiful and charming, she is not an easy-to-handle type. She is more ambitious than most people, and can follow Chen Gongbo's advice. Can she be an ordinary woman?

Of course, it is inevitable to take a small advantage during the dance, but Chen Mingxiang passively accepts it.

The big beauty who was sent to the door would inevitably come in contact with the body when dancing. If this is considered dishonest, then Mo Guokang's little provocative gestures should go to the streets to show the crowd.

"Your Excellency the Mayor wants you to come to the office tomorrow morning to convey the content of the meeting tonight. This time Huatong Trading Company has an important task of preparing supplies. The two Japanese people just now are representatives of the Ministry of Finance and Industry of Japan. ."

"The other thing is that the Japanese side is going to give the Jinling government part of the power to establish a Central Material Control Committee, and Mei Siping will serve as the director. It is now in the preparatory stage."

"Actually, in my opinion, it is nothing more than a name. The Japanese own material control agency is not abolished, and this committee of the Jinling government is a pure decoration." Mo Guokang said.

The financial foundation of the Wang puppet government is weak. The Minister of Finance Zhou Aohai has implemented the method of living within his means, and revenue and expenditure are basically balanced. However, tariffs, a pillar source of finance, ostensibly return to the Ministry of Finance of the Wang puppet government. , And have to negotiate with Japan's Shoji Bank, and the power is still controlled by the Japanese.

The Wang puppet government is not reconciled to being just a puppet, and is constantly asking for power from the Japanese government. Material control is one of them. Simply put, it is equivalent to the control of materials.

For example, the Central China Cotton Association, which was established in February of last year in the 29th year of the Republic of China, is a governing body. It sets prices, purchases, and distributes cotton in the occupied areas uniformly. Such monopolistic behavior has huge benefits. Wang The pseudo-government cannot be indisputable.

However, the Japanese army would not let go easily. Mo Guokang meant Chen Mingxiang was very clear, just to give a false name first, when to give you actual power, it depends on the needs of the Japanese government.

"Life is not easy. The Imperial Army really looks up to me. They will leave the mission every three to five. Did you tell me the specific time?" Chen Mingxiang asked.

"Who didn't know that you are the leading smuggling leader in the Shanghai stock market. It is useless to complain to me. The Japanese stipulated that from July 1st to December 1st, it is about half a year as your material purchase period."

"The provincial and municipal governments, as well as the district and county offices of the Jinling Government, are responsible for the collection of daily materials such as grain, cotton, raw silk, tea, wood, and salt."

"Huatong Trading Company is still responsible for smuggling transactions with the Kuomintang Controlled Area, purchasing important minerals, bristles, tung oil, rosin and other strategic materials. Japan provides sufficient funds this time and it will be allocated to you within a week." Mo Guokang said.

"Isn't this an eccentric eye? The Southeast Trading Company and the Japanese intelligence agency companies are all comfortably collecting money, but they took me out to send them out to see me like a bully?" Chen Mingxiang said with some dissatisfaction. .

"They also have tasks, but the total share is not as good as one-tenth of yours. General Kagezuo said that the Southeast Trading Company mainly supports the funds of the secret agent headquarters. The Lingnan Company, which is a subsidiary of the Mei Department, must be used by the Mei Department and the Shanghai Intelligence Agency. Supplementary funds, there is really no extra capacity." Mo Guo said with a smile.
