Wind spy

At around 7 o’clock in the evening, Nakajima Osa, Ono Nakasa, and Shimada Nakasa from the Marine Corps Command arrived at Villa Mala. Although they were very familiar with each other, they almost talked about everything, but every time they got together. Eating outside, I haven't had any contact with Wang Zhen, but I know of her existence.

"Nakajima-kun, Ono-kun, Shimada-kun, you are my best friends. I solemnly introduce my confidante, my closest girlfriend, Miss Wang Zhen." Chen Mingxiang pointed to Wang Zhen and said.

This is also a small way to increase mutual trust. For a long time, the political and military circles in the Shanghai stock market have known Wang Zhen’s name, but she is very rare, so the rumors of Jinwu Cangjiao came out. That's it, the more mysterious, the more people want to see her.

"Chen Jun, I have long heard that you have a beautiful and elegant girlfriend, a noble from Jinling. When I saw you today, it really deserves a reputation. It is the most beautiful lady I have ever seen. You are so blessed! "Nakajima Osa said with a smile.

"Don't dare to be praised by Your Excellency Da Zuo, please sit down!" Wang Zhen said modestly and modestly, then bowed slightly, turned and left first.

"Thank you Nakajima-kun for your compliment. Let's take a seat. Let's taste the tea art of my wife Wang Zhen. Today, it seems that several of you are in a very good mood!" Chen Mingxiang invited the three to the specially arranged tea room.

In the middle is a root-carved coffee table with a full set of tea sets from Ru kiln. Surrounded by six carved wooden stools, the floor is all made of solid wood panels. On the west wall is a calligraphy and a huge static character. The west wall is antique. Wooden stands on which are placed tea cans, teapots, cups and various utensils.

Seeing Wang Zhen's elegant posture and skillful and superb movements, it was really beautiful. The three naval officers who had also been involved in the tea ceremony couldn't help but nod their heads. Although they can't be said to be top, they can be regarded as masters.

"The Imperial Navy's fleet fought a long-distance battle with the U.S. aircraft carrier fleet in the southwestern part of the Pacific Ocean, which is the Coral Sea. The fleets of the two sides did not have any contact. It was purely an aerial battle of carrier-based aircraft. Times."

"A light aircraft carrier of the Imperial Navy, the Xiangfeng, unfortunately sank and lost a destroyer. However, the heavy aircraft carrier of the U.S. Navy, the Lexington, was sunk by the Imperial Navy’s aviation and also lost a destroyer. In contrast, the Imperial Navy won a victory." Ono Nakasa said.

Chen Mingxiang knows almost nothing about naval ships. The training of the Military Statistics Bureau does not include heavy equipment such as airplanes and warships. At most, it is knowledge of firearms, explosives, and grenades that can be actually used in missions, but after listening to a few The naval officer's words also roughly understood what was going on.

The Coral Sea battle between the Japanese and American aircraft carrier fleets between May 3 and 8 was basically an equal battle. It also created a naval history and changed the mode of naval battles. The use of aircraft carriers was mentioned. Very high status.

The USS Lexington, which was lost by the U.S. Navy, was an aircraft carrier with a full load displacement of 43,400 tons, capable of carrying more than 90 carrier-based aircraft for attack, and was the main aircraft carrier of the U.S. Navy. It was a major aircraft carrier. loss.

Japan’s lost light aircraft carrier Shoho, with a full displacement of only more than 11 thousand tons, was previously used as a submarine carrier, or submarine command ship, but was only converted into an aircraft carrier in late January this year.

This modified aircraft carrier is rather peculiar. There is no bridge on the flight deck, and it is made of wood. It can only carry 30 carrier-based aircraft for combat, and the loss is still within its capacity.

"Since the Imperial Navy has won, let's have a good drink tonight and celebrate the brave and fearless Imperial Navy. Let's go to the restaurant!" Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.

Although he feels a pity in his heart, such a thing as a small person like him is just a spectator. Besides, the information has been sent out, and he has done his responsibilities for this battle. What effect has been achieved? Reply.

"Fifty trucks? This number is too scary. I need to discuss with the general. The public concession has been confiscated a lot, but the imperial army also needs transportation. If you can give you 30, it will reach the top."

"Chen Jun, why do you suddenly want to buy so many vehicles? If it is for transportation, I can figure out how to build more freighters for you." Nakajima asked curiously.

"I can’t help it either. As you all know, I have three textile factories. The cotton yarn and cloth produced are also the main commodities used in exchange for strategic materials. However, the imperial merchants always look down on my textile factories and have asked them many times. The Gendarmerie Command requested that these three textile factories be transferred to them, and they were still purchased at a low price. Fortunately, they were rejected by General Kinoshita Sakae."

"The main lifeblood of textile mills is cotton, but the purchase of cotton has been monopolized by them. The personnel I sent to the villages to harvest cotton have repeatedly encountered difficulties. In view of this situation, I plan to withdraw two of the textile mills. To Suzhou."

"The transportation of machinery, equipment and materials and the removal of personnel require trucks. Secondly, vehicles are needed to harvest cotton in the countryside. Fifty vehicles are not enough. My plan is to expand by one hundred." Chen Mingxiang shook his head and said. .

When nine out of ten sentences are true, and only one of them is false, it is impossible for most people to tell. This is what Chen Mingxiang uses at this moment.

The three middle-level Japanese navy officers in front of them can't usually care about these things, and these situations are not lying, even if they are checked, there will be no problems.

What is a lie?

The difficulty of purchasing cotton is real, and it has not yet affected production. Huatong Trading Company and the Kuomintang Controlled Area do business. That is the tacit approval of the Japanese military. Who dares to stop these textile mills from collecting cotton?

The lie is that Chen Mingxiang’s goal is to move the two textile mills to the cotton-producing area. This will not only reduce the cost of the transportation link, but also control the cotton-producing area. It can also act like aggrieved. No" withdrawal from the Shanghai stock market was forced by the Japanese textile industry association.

"The three most expensive lords may not know. Just a few hours ago, Shimada Seiken Osa, Director of the First Economic Bureau of the Central China Liaison Department of the Koya Institute, Ueda Soichiro, Chairman of the Shanghai Branch of the Japan Textile Association, and Shanghai Stock Exchange Ling Xianwen, chairman of the Material Control Committee, came to my house."

"They forced Mingxiang to close the factory and grabbed the cotton yarn and cotton from the factory. They didn't even plan to pay for the goods. If they don't transfer, the factory will soon go bankrupt!" Wang Zhen said.

"Asshole! These businessmen who only see money in their eyes, do they know that the products of the textile factory are not used for personal gain, but for the imperial army in exchange for strategic materials from Jiangtong District!"

"This kind of behavior directly affects the interests of the army, and its nature is extremely bad. What does the military police headquarters do?" Nakajima's face suddenly looked bad.
