Chapter 434: Confusing and Confusing

The treatment of public officials under the Wang Puppet government is no higher than that of the Shancheng government. What's more, there are still a group of arrogant and hegemonic Supreme Emperors in their own turf. The financial affairs have not yet gone smoothly. Deposit coupons have not achieved mainstream status.

Unfortunately, in accordance with the regulations of the Ministry of Finance, government agencies use China Reserve Certificates to pay their salaries, not legal currencies in circulation on the market.

Although under the suppression of violent means, many companies also accept the China Chuxian Voucher, it does not mean that you can buy something with the China Chuchu Voucher. It is not easy to shake the status of legal tender.

High-level and middle-level leaders will naturally not worry about buying rice, but the small staff with the largest number are stumped by this problem.

It is very difficult to find a job in the Shanghai stock market. If you give up public office, you may not be able to find a better job, but you can continue to do it. This unlucky China Reserve Voucher will starve your family to death!

"What you are talking about is indeed the actual situation. Zhou Aohai of the Jinling Government has already communicated with the Mei Department on this issue, and is preparing to adopt a public approach to alleviate the food shortage in Shanghai. The Food Committee under the Executive Yuan of the Jinling Government is working with The Shanghai Stock Exchange Government negotiated and established the Shanghai Stock Exchange Grain Management Committee to take charge of the Shanghai Stock Exchange's public work." Qingqi Zhongzuo said.

After Chen Mingxiang arrived at the Suzhou Office of the Qingxiang Committee, Li Shiqun was kindly entertained and arranged to the most luxurious hotel in the area. The office paid for all board and lodging.

In the evening, Li Shiqun hosted Chen Mingxiang in the largest restaurant in Suzhou. In addition, there was also Qingqi Zhongzuo who arrived yesterday. He belongs to the military adviser sent by the dispatch army headquarters to the Qingxiang Committee, and represents the command and supervision of the Qingxiang Committee by the Mei Department. Operation.

According to Qingqi Zhongzuo, the Shanghai Stock Exchange is the most important core city of the Wang and Puppet Government, and its status is quite special. In order to buy the people’s hearts, the Wang and Puppet Government is willing to perform public service functions and provide food relief. It has decided to implement public welfare in the second half of the year. The allocated public rice is 36,000 packs, which is about 45,000 shi.

These rices are not local Jiangzhe rice, but imported foreign rice, mainly Siamese rice, Annam rice, Java rice, etc., because Jiangzhe rice was snatched by the Japanese as military rations.

It was also because of the looting of the Japanese army that food shortages broke out in various places, and the Wang puppet government had to come forward and take measures to wipe the Japanese army's ass so as not to shake the "roots of governance."

From January to April alone, the grain management committee of the Jinling government imported 12,450 tons of foreign rice. From April to June, it imported another 7,000 tons, mostly through Japanese chaebols such as Mitsui Yoko. Institutional operations.

"The price of food is rising too fast, I feel a little incredible, just after the new year is still ninety dollars and one stone, and now the black market has reached two hundred and forty dollars, and they are almost catching up with the loan sharks!" Chen Mingxiang deliberately picked. Open the topic.

Li Shiqun's greed is endless, and Ye Jiqing is also a woman who loves money like life, so she will definitely be tempted by food, which can bring wealth.

The activities of the Qingxiang Committee in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces gave the opportunity to buy and sell food. The puppet troops of the Wang puppet government, especially the tax police corps and local security forces, as well as the police station, were tasked with searching for food and materials.

As the secretary-general who actually controls the Qingxiang Committee and the director of the Secret Service Headquarters, Li Shiqun controls the disposal of the Qingxiang's supplies. In other words, he has a large amount of food in his hands.

"I heard that the navy is looking for you?" Qingqi Zhongzuo asked suddenly.

"Your Excellency Nakasa's information is very well-informed! According to General Kagesa's request, Huatong Trading Company's smuggled materials have been tilted to the army by a large margin. Of course, the navy is not satisfied. For this reason, the chief of Kodama specifically asked me about this. "Chen Mingxiang said.

The devil officer changed the subject at this moment, not to prevent the private grain trade between Chen Mingxiang and the Qingxiang Committee, but to avoid suspicion, or to hide his ears and steal the bell.

It's not that things can't be done, just don't talk about such things in front of him, after all, this kind of behavior harms the interests of the imperial army.

Of course, Chen Mingxiang is sure that once the cooperation starts, Zuo will close one eye when the weather is clear. No one will have trouble with money. The Japanese are actually more greedy.

From this devil's words, it can also be determined that someone in the plum agency is staring at the Kodama agency, and he also knows that the army's arrangements will arouse the navy's anger.

"Chen Jun, you are a member of the military police in our army. You don't need to care too much about the navy's opinion. Since your General has made such a decision, if the navy dares to trouble you, this matter will naturally be resolved by the general headquarters of the army."

"The navy's southward advancement strategy is also for the resources of Southeast Asia, half for the country, and generally for its own interests. But the key to achieving this goal lies in the army. The aircraft carriers and cruisers they are proud of cannot always be opened. Fight on land, right?"

"In China, our army occupied most of the land and obtained a lot of resources, but the navy could only stare at it. The navy of the Shancheng government was vulnerable. They were anxious to move south. There are also reasons for this, which do not reflect the navy. Value." Qingqi Zhongzuo said.

In the final analysis, it is the problem of uneven distribution of spoils. In the land occupied by the army, the resources must be biased towards its own, while China is considered an oil-poor country at this time. The navy's harvest can only be described in terms of clear soup and lack of water, and it does not eat much nutrition.

However, the strength of the Japanese navy ranks among the top several in the world. It didn't take much effort to invade China, and it didn't get much benefit. For this, a southward strategy was proposed.

The number and tonnage of the Japanese Navy's warships in this local battlefield in the Pacific Ocean surpassed that of the United States, because a large part of the U.S. Navy's forces are involved in the Atlantic Ocean.

The combined fleet has ten battleships, the U.S. Pacific Fleet has nine battleships, the combined fleet has ten aircraft carriers, the U.S. Pacific Fleet has only three, the combined fleet has 38 cruisers, and the U.S. Pacific Fleet has only 20. The fleet has 112 destroyers, and the US Pacific Fleet has only 50. The advantage is very obvious.

The United States’ strategic decision is to first Europe and then Asia, and do its utmost to assist Britain and the Soviet Union against Germany. Under such circumstances, the Japanese Navy is full of confidence in the upcoming Pacific War and is determined to win the territory of Southeast Asia.

As long as you gain a firm foothold in Southeast Asia and get the oil and steel that you depend on for survival, and wait until the U.S. government turns back to deal with Japan, the result is still hard to say.

"Your Excellency Zhong Zuo, I feel very strange that for the empire’s southward strategy, the army and naval aviation forces are gradually entering the combat readiness stage. However, according to the news from the merchants of Chiang Tong District, the Imperial aviation forces once again carried out large-scale bombings on the mountain city. This is not pure Is it a waste of resources?" Chen Mingxiang said.
