Zhou Aohai certainly knew that the Manchurian Railway was a giant that was established in the 32nd year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty. Its full name is South Manchuria Railway Co., Ltd. It is a national policy agency of the Japanese government and a colonial agency.

Half of the shares are funded by the Japanese government, and half of the shares are from the royal family, nobles and officials.In the 29th of the Republic of China, the share capital alone has increased to 1.4 billion yen, which is definitely a behemoth.

The Manchurian Railway was initially based on railways, coal mines, immigration and other businesses, especially the control of railways. After the September 18th Incident, the entire territory of the three provinces outside the customs has the right to operate ports, water transportation, coal, steel, light industry and chemical industry. Completely monopolized by the Manchurian Railway.

This notorious colonial organization provided a large amount of funds, materials and intelligence for all military operations of the Kwantung Army, especially the Manchurian Railway Investigation Department, which was Japan's largest intelligence agency during the war.

The purpose of the Manchurian Railway is to monopolize the economy of the pseudo-Manchukuo and become a force on par with the Kwantung Army, but the Kwantung Army does not think so. The purpose is to form a unified rule with itself as the core.

With the establishment of the Puppet Manchukuo, the Kwantung Army’s status was rapidly elevated, and the Manchurian Railway must be reorganized, not only to control its personnel and supervise it, but also to divide the Manchurian Railway’s enterprises into ***ism. Control the economy and serve the needs of the military.

But this attempt was fiercely opposed by the shareholders of the Manchurian Railway, especially the big forces behind the Manchurian Railway. The Japanese government also clearly opposed it, forcing the Kwantung Army to temporarily give up.

But the Kwantung Army was not so easy to compromise. At the end of the 26th year of the Republic of China, the Kwantung Army and Nissan colluded and established the Puppet Manchukuo Heavy Industry Development Co., Ltd., called Manye for short.

The projects operated by Manye include steel, light metals, coal and other heavy industries, as well as military production. The Kwantung Army forcibly separated these industries from the Manchurian Railway in the name of the Puppet Manchukuo. In other words, the current Manchurian Railway does not With the energy and advantages of the past, the power is not as good as before.

Although the Manchurian Railway is a colonial institution, there must be the shadow of a chaebol behind it. Otherwise, how do so many industries work?The government and the military are not good at operating enterprises. The Manchurian Railway's struggle for the economic dominance of the puppet Manchukuo is also a contest between the military and the chaebol.

"The best thing about the pseudo-Manchukuo is that the military has completely overwhelmed the chaebols. This thing can really be done. Look at our Jinling government, and look at the Shanghai stock market. A group of coal merchants dare to stand firm against Xingya and The garrison does not put the city government in its eyes, the dispatching army headquarters is a bit weak." Zhou Tuohai sighed.

The Kwantung Army is indeed very strong. Everything must be given priority to the interests of the military. If you don’t cooperate with me, I won’t give you resources. Anyway, there are those who are willing to cooperate with me. The old chaebols refuse to agree, and the new chaebols come and take a look. Who can screw it over.

But the Jinling government in the Guan, this play is very difficult to sing. The North China Political Affairs Committee in the North China and the Mongolian and Xinjiang United Autonomous Government in the Mongolian and Xinjiang areas are clearly separate forces, relying on the support of the local Japanese army, and simply ignore it. Jinling government.

The dispatching army headquarters cannot control the North China Front Army headquarters in the North China region. Military command power is not a problem, but the local administrative affairs can only be overridden.

Moreover, the Japanese chaebols in the pass have always been relatively tough. They still use the Shanghai stock market as an example. The Ming Ming Hing Ya Hospital and the Consulate General of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Shanghai have demanded that coal prices be reduced to safeguard the interests of the Japanese government, but these people just don’t bargain. As usual, the Japanese army has no effective measures.

"This is the internal contradiction of the Japanese. The Kwantung Army is the dominant one in Manchukuo, but the dispatched army headquarters does not have this advantage. If you put it carefully, it is estimated that you can faint in hearing, and the complexity is beyond our imagination." Chen Mingxiang said.

When Matsui Takuro explained this to him, he was also dizzy. He even had to talk about it from the time when the North China garrison was stationed. However, he was happy to comment on this situation.

"If you want to use the U.S. dollars and gold of the Central Reserve Bank, you must seek the advice of the highest consultant. So, anyway, you are in Jinling. Tomorrow you will find General Matsui Takuro, and ask him to call the consultant Kimura and make a secret about the Kwantung Army. Tell me about the transaction, so it's easy to operate."

"I'm trying to allocate one million U.S. dollars, but the foreign exchange reserves are relatively small. You have to return it. In terms of time, I can extend it to you. I will return 50,000 U.S. dollars a year and pay it off in 20 years."

"In terms of gold, it is relatively wealthy. There are nearly 50,000 large gold bars of twelve tiers of gold. I will try to allocate one thousand large bars to you. The market price is a 20,000 middle deposit coupon. You have to pay me two thousand middle deposits. Coupons."

"Speaking of the reserves of gold and silver of the Headquarters of Manchukuo are much more than that of the Reserve Bank of China, you should try to coordinate with the Kwantung Army and pay you a batch of US dollars and gold." Zhou Naohai said.

Although he is the No. 3 traitor, he still made some preparations for the issuance of the China Reserve Certificates, and he did not want to become a pile of waste paper.

The purpose is naturally not for the sake of the people sincerely, but to want the Wang Puppet regime to continue for a long time, and his personal status, power and interests are protected.

It takes twenty years to pay off. How long the Wang puppet government can last is no one can say now, but most people still think that there will not only be this time, because there is still a powerful Japan behind it.

Is Chen Mingxiang short of gold?

If there is no shortage, there is no shortage. There is still a ton of gold buried in the grounds of several houses on the Shanghai stock market. One ton is two thousand catties. If not according to the old system of 16 taels, it is also two thousand gold bars. !

But the more this stuff is better, the hard currency is scarce at any time, but this time Chen Mingxiang mentioned it casually, and got an unexpected gain.

"Minister, let's set aside some office expenses for the Superintendent of Police tomorrow. As a new officer, I have to show hope to the subordinates. Don't you know that someone just took office and made minor moves."

"Originally, I didn't want to care about this kind of villain. I usually live in the Shanghai stock market. I can't come to Jinling twice a month. But someone who wants to seize power in front of me is intolerable." Chen Mingxiang said.

"The Police Department of the Ministry of the Interior is a newly formed department that merged the original police department. The position of the director is relatively sensitive. Chen Qun has always been acting concurrently. After such a long run-in, the main leaders of the police department are basically Chen Qun's people are also the old foundations of the original reform government."

"If it weren't for the involvement of the May agency and arranging you to come over, Sun Shengmin, the Deputy Director-General, would be right. For this reason, Chen Qun also greeted me specifically, and I had no objection. This is easy to handle. , I will definitely hold the scene for you." Zhou Tuohai said with a smile.

The dignified third person in the Jinling government, the Minister of Finance, who holds the financial power, wants to allocate some fees to the Superintendent. It is really easy. You can allocate funds by just thinking of a name. This also represents his support for Chen Mingxiang. All understand.
