"Your Excellency General, I think this is a very unreasonable request. Before the imperial army occupied the Shanghai stock market, Japanese textile companies had 30 large-scale textile companies in the Shanghai stock market. In addition, there are as many as 14 Shanghai textile factories directly controlled or merged by Japanese capital."

"After the imperial army occupied the Shanghai stock market, there were a total of 31 large-scale Chinese textile factories, only nine were not affected by the war in the concession. The rest of the factories were completely annexed by Japanese companies, and you didn’t see the rest of the mess. Upper eye."

"In other words, my three textile mills only developed after the war. The number of machines is small and the spindles are even more scarce. The total output is a drop in the bucket for the task of the Japanese textile enterprises as a whole. What is the key role."

"However, the tungsten, iron, and tin ore required by Japanese military enterprises, as well as the bristles and tung oil needed, all depend on the exchange of cotton yarn. These strategic materials seem to be more important to the military operations of the imperial army." Chen Mingxiang said lightly. .

To say that Chen Mingxiang has his own advantages in understanding the industry and commerce of the Shanghai stock market, which originated from the smuggling transactions of the Huatong Trading Company. He needs to know how many resources are available.

When you become the deputy director of the Social Affairs Bureau, the added value is reflected. The official has the most detailed information, even if it is a pseudo-government agency, it just opens its mouth on these data.

He also heard what Tsuda Shizue meant. If the Central China Liaison Department of the Koya Institute agrees to the request of a Japanese textile company, it is only a matter of one sentence, but Shizue Tsuda asked his own opinion, that is, let himself distinguish and appeal.

"Chen Jun, I can't agree with your statement. Only by consolidating all the textile resources in the Shanghai stock market can you complete the mission of the military. Don't you want to serve the empire for your own personal gain?" The representative of Nikka Textile Co., Ltd. opened his mouth. It's just a hat.

This textile company ranks second among Japanese textile companies on the Shanghai Stock Exchange, with a scale of more than a dozen textile factories.

"I think you are insatiable. You only make money for yourself and create obstacles to the military industry. How can weapons and ammunition be made without minerals? How can warships and fighters be maintained without tung oil? How can artillery work without brushes made of bristles?"

"Please don't forget that I know the situation of textile factories very well, and can accurately calculate the output of your textile enterprises. Should I explode it to everyone here? I can't afford to wear this hat, you should take it back! "Chen Mingxiang said with a sneer.

He mixed in the three circles of military, political and business circles in the Shanghai Stock Exchange, and he understood the thinking of the three best. With this sentence, the expressions of the representatives of Mitsui and Mitsubishi suddenly changed, and the representatives of textile enterprises were a little dissatisfied.

"What Chen Jun said is very reasonable. Japan is a country with few resources. Rare metals, tung oil, bristles and rosin are essential strategic materials for the navy and army. They basically rely on imports from China. I support Chen Jun's Material exchange." Mitsui's representative said.

"Logistics requirements are of course important. Weapons and equipment are the greatest guarantee of the imperial army's combat effectiveness. We have no less difficulties than yours with hundreds of thousands of guns and ammunition," the representative of Mitsubishi said.

After all, a businessman is a businessman, and once his own interests are threatened, he immediately changes his face.Your textile companies need to complete the targets of the military, and our military enterprises must also complete the targets. Without the strategic materials provided by Huatong Trading Company, you are comfortable. What should we do?

Several representatives of textile companies turned black. They really didn't dare to let Chen Mingxiang, an expert, report data. The pressure was just an excuse. The purpose was to annex Chen Mingxiang's three textile factories!

However, even the most powerful chaebol representatives have said so, which also means that their attempts have been disillusioned. They hated Chen Mingxiang and gnawed their teeth!

"Leave this matter as it is, your textile companies should stop hitting the Gendarmerie Command's military management enterprise idea. Each has its own tasks. If you have any difficulties, you can find a solution by yourself."

"Textile enterprises are not military-industrial enterprises and have little dependence on Jiangtong District. As long as the cotton can meet the demand, the task is not difficult to complete."

"You need to communicate more with the Jinling government and use the government's channels to purchase cotton. During the special period, the price should be appropriately relaxed, so as not to hinder the military plan." Tsuda Shizue said.

He still admires Chen Mingxiang's strategy. He is very sophisticated and knows how to hold the military industry enterprises against the textile enterprises. Now that the chaebols have turned their guns and started fighting, things naturally stopped.

"Your Excellency, the raw materials of military industry enterprises are indeed very tight. The country has been urging companies in Shanghai to increase the amount of imports, but the resources of the Shanghai market are limited. We need help from the Central China Garrison," said the representative of Mitsui.

This is not nonsense. Under Chen Mingxiang's operation, various smugglers interrupted their smuggling transactions with the Kuomintang Controlled Area. Outside resources can't come in. How many days can the Japanese company's own inventory transfer?

More importantly, even if the Japanese promised to release the switch, if Chen Mingxiang did not speak, the smugglers would not even dare to move, and the devil would not be able to listen.

What if there is a situation of low-price acquisitions and strong buying and selling again? There is no place to cry. This kind of business is done for a huge profit, not for losing money and making yells. What do you want to do? Contribute!

"The garrison can provide convenience for domestic enterprises, but the army is not an enterprise and cannot solve the problem of raw materials for you. Chen Jun, do you have any good suggestions for this?" Tsuda Shizue said.

In theory, all Japanese companies in Shanghai are subject to the constraints of the Central China Liaison Department of the Hingya Institute. However, the Japanese chaebol is a behemoth who dares to confront the military. He, the minister, can't live in a place, and what he says is simply ignored.

Just like this time, Japanese companies manipulated the super high school to snatch Chen Mingxiang's power, and used the inspection team to snatch and buy smugglers' goods at low prices, which made him very dissatisfied.

Since the end of the Jiangcheng Grand Battle, the Japanese army has been unable to launch a strategic offensive on the frontal battlefield. This is a fact that has to be admitted. Why didn't they go all out to take a strong offensive?

Because of the lack of domestic resources, it needs to be alleviated as soon as possible to make up for the war potential that has been consumed. Japan cannot support this war. It is for this purpose that Japan sent troops to Southeast Asia.

If you can't get something on the battlefield, you have to use other methods to get it. Smuggling from the Chiang-Tong District is a very important strategy. However, these Japanese chaebols don't understand it, or they just pretend to be confused.

Hearing these arrogant guys asking for help from the military, Shizue Tsuda felt very comfortable. He also knew the importance of the southward strategy. He didn't want to teach the group, so he pushed the matter to "professionals".

"The inspection team is now sealing off the pass. Materials from the outside can't come in, and the materials inside can't get out. Over time, it will definitely become a dead end. This is a vicious circle and must be circulated."

"I suggest that the consultant Hirai of the inspection team proactively contact various companies and open the gates to allow trade with Jiangtong District. When Japanese companies purchase goods, they must leave a certain profit margin for the company. As long as the materials are in normal circulation, your pressure It has to be reduced a lot," Chen Mingxiang said.
