"Your Excellency, please rest assured that the Imperial Navy is very supportive of my cause in the Shanghai Stock Exchange. At this critical time, I will never lose the chain. I will do everything possible, no matter how much it costs, to ensure that I will get it in one month. Two hundred tons of tungsten ore." Chen Mingxiang said.

Chen Mingxiang happily agreed to the request of the Kodama agency of the Japanese Navy, and said that he would do his best to serve the navy.

In fact, if you don't agree, you can't do it. The material control work in the Kuomintang Control Area is like a sifter. There is air leakage everywhere, and the smuggling of tungsten ore is very rampant.

Since this requirement must be fulfilled in any way, it is better to make things beautiful, so that the Japanese navy will be more grateful.

"Thank you Chen Jun for supporting the navy. Don’t worry, the Imperial Navy will not let you lose. I will give you a price of 1,500 US dollars for a ton of tungsten ore. This will bring you huge profits. I hope that Make a few more transactions." Kodama and Shifu were very satisfied.

"The difficulty is too high. The navy needs tungsten ore, and the army also needs tungsten ore. This is a strategic material controlled by the Jiangtong District. I am also very embarrassed. Even this batch of tungsten ore cannot be traded in the Shanghai stock market. For Zhenjiang!" Chen Mingxiang said.

Tungsten ore is an important military rare metal, and it is also a controlled material explicitly controlled by the Shancheng government. Since the outbreak of the war, the British and American countries have increased their imports of tungsten ore. The Shancheng government’s finances also used tungsten ore exports to repay loans from the British and American countries. .

However, smuggling in the National Control Area is very serious. A large amount of tungsten ore flows into the occupied area. The reason for this situation is not because of the Military Unification Bureau. The smuggling of tungsten ore by Huatong Trading Company is so small that it is negligible.

In the tungsten mining area in Hunan Province, the cost of mining a ton of tungsten ore is 4,500 fiat, but the official purchase price of the Shancheng government is 3,800 fiat, and one ton will cost 700 fiat!

In Jiangxi Province, the cost of mining a ton of tungsten ore is 4,900 fiat, but the official purchase price is 4,300 fiat, and one ton will be compensated for 600 fiat.

The Shancheng government lowered the purchase price and exported high prices to the British and American countries to repay loans, which caused the tungsten mine workers to have no food.

About the cost of tungsten ore is less than five yuan per kilogram, the price offered by smugglers is 12-15 yuan per kilogram. What kind of gap is this?

It’s okay to let the people love their country. The Shancheng government’s approach is to push the miners who mine tungsten ore to a dead end. Coupled with the depreciation of the legal currency and the soaring price of goods, you have to eat something, right?

The purchase price of the Kodama agency was on the high side, exceeding the smuggling price. The total value of two hundred tons of tungsten ore reached 300,000 U.S. dollars, and at least six million in legal currency!

Chen Mingxiang only needs to pay two million fiat currencies to complete the payment settlement between the company and the bureau headquarters, earning four million fiat currencies in one stroke!

But for the more than 3,000 tons of tungsten ore lost every year, it is not too alarming. In the future, at most ten tons and eight tons per quarter will be enough to deal with it.

"The loss reached a ratio of one to four. The U.S. Navy did a great job this time. I have always thought that Japan is not an opponent of the United States, and now it is a sign."

"I really hope to hear such good news every day. The victory of the Anti-Japanese War is no longer a long process. Compared with this result, hundreds of tons of tungsten ore will not play a key role. You can generate electricity for the headquarters of the bureau. , I must achieve my goal."

"Before the Japanese invaders were driven out of China, my intelligence work in the Shanghai stock market still needed the support of the Japanese Navy. I cannot refuse this shameful transaction for the time being." Chen Mingxiang poured himself a glass of wine after the four people left. , Drank dry in one gulp.

Of course he is not willing to do such a thing. He also knows the role of tungsten mines, but for the sake of long-term strategic goals, he has to complete the tasks assigned by the Japanese army. It feels a bit uncomfortable.

Fortunately, tungsten ore is not tungsten ore. If two hundred tons of tungsten ore is refined, there may only be 80 tons or less of tungsten ore powder.

"They gave you a lot of face. They promised to transfer two transport planes at the end of the month and send us to Hangzhou to participate in the establishment ceremony of the camp in the four provinces of Fujian, Jiangxi, Zhejiang and Anhui. This kind of treatment is very high. I haven't I've been in a plane!" Wang Zhen said with a smile.

After talking about the tungsten ore, Chen Mingxiang asked Kodama and Shifu by the way, hoping that he would inquire about whether the navy transport plane would arrive in Hangzhou at the end of the month. He was going to attend the celebration ceremony at the secret service headquarters.

As a result, Kodama and Shifu gave an accurate answer on the spot. There was no problem with the transport plane. He would arrange for the transport plane to take off to Hangzhou at the end of the month, which was specifically provided for Chen Mingxiang.

In order to show their importance to Chen Mingxiang, Kodama and Shifu specially arranged for him, Wang Zhen, and a plane to be accompanied by the little bosses of the Shanghai Experimental Zone to take a plane.

The roads at this time were quite difficult to follow. Chen Mingxiang really hated to take the car or the train. It took seven or eight hours to drive about two hundred kilometers.

The road conditions are too bad at the critical moment, the bumps are uncomfortable, the back pain is sore when sitting, although the condition of the transport plane is very bad, it can be fast!

The Japanese transport aircraft traveled at a speed of more than 400 kilometers per hour. At this speed, it could arrive in just over 20 minutes without consuming much gasoline.

"What's so good about airplanes? The shaking and shaking are all noise. It seems that the environment of war is constantly changing. I wanted to use Japan’s relationship to engage in ocean trade from the South China Sea. Before I left, I had to make arrangements so that ocean-going ships could be as soon as possible. Turn around in the Nanyang area and return the scarce goods from the transportation point." Chen Mingxiang said.

"The local grain and important minerals are all occupied by the Japanese army, and one ton of grain does not make much money after excluding the freight. I don't think it is necessary." Wang Zhen said.

Chen Mingxiang’s fleet mainly uses the Yangtze River, and the route is from Shanghai to Shancheng. There is only one ship that can be used for ocean transportation. The current situation is very complicated, and she is also afraid of accidents.

"You stupid girl, it takes half a month for the boat to go back and forth, plus to clarify the relationship and purchase goods, once a month is good, which kind of food do I transport?"

"I mainly buy some important local coffee, cane sugar, palm oil, tobacco leaves, medicines and other important materials, as well as fruits and precious specialties, which are used to give gifts and relationships. Anyway, they are also imported goods. Sending goose feathers for thousands of miles is a kind of courtesy. !" Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.

A telegram excited Boss Dai for a long time. The Japanese Navy suffered a big defeat in the battle between Midway Island and the U.S. Navy. It lost four aircraft carriers, one heavy cruiser, and more than three hundred aircraft. That’s good news.

Although a victory cannot reverse the Pacific War, it also means that the Japanese Navy has lost the battle. Perhaps in the days to come, such good news will be more and more!

Boss Dai also understands that the war potential of the United States and Japan is not of the same level. The United States loses four aircraft carriers, and it may be built in one month. Japan loses four, and it is only possible to replenish it in four months. The gap between manufacturing capacity and raw material reserves is too large.
