Wind spy

"Captain Murano, who is this gentleman?" Yoshiko Kawashima asked with a smile.

The Japanese gendarmerie has also become a very proud group because of its special power and status. Moreover, as the captain of the Tsucheng gendarmerie, Naohiro Murano is the gendarmerie's chief. He belongs to the rank of generals in the Japanese army, and he is rarely seen to entertain someone alone.

"This is Chen Mingxiang, the owner of the Huatong Trading Company of the Gendarmerie Headquarters in Shanghai, the Chief Police Officer of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Jinling Government, the Deputy Director of the Social Bureau of the Shanghai Municipal Government, the Commissioner for Foreign Affairs, and the Chief of General Affairs of the Security Command. There are too many, I won't tell you one by one, you must have heard of him, right?" Murano Naohiro said with a smile.

This man who looks gentle and elegant, turned out to be Chen Mingxiang!

"It's actually Mr. Chen who came here, and I have heard more about it, it's like thunder!" Kawashima Yoshiko said with a smile.

As a veteran spy, Yoshiko Kawashima not only has strong intelligence gathering ability, but also has a wide range of sources of information. Of course, he knows Chen Mingxiang's name.

The confidant of Mayor Chen Gongbo, a direct line of the Military Police Headquarters in Shanghai, is also favored by the Japanese Navy and the Japanese Army in Central China. The General Command of the Dispatch Army looks at it differently. The relationship with the Mayor and the special agencies of the Army Ministry in Shanghai is unusual. The status of the celebrities in the Consulate General of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Shanghai is quite high.

Strictly speaking, this guy is not an intelligence officer, and his identity is closer to government officials and businessmen. He is the largest smuggler in the Shanghai Stock Exchange and even in Central China, a branch of Huatong Trading Company. Now he has reached out to North China, in Beiping. There are branches and offices in Jincheng.

In particular, Jincheng’s recent movement cannot be concealed from her. The Japanese army used trains to transport large quantities of coal from Kailuan Coal Mine. Jincheng’s local briquettes factory and a newly opened briquettes factory near the port are making briquettes day and night. , This matter is operated by the Jincheng Office of the Peiping Branch of Huatong Trading Company.

Coal is a controlled material of the Japanese army, and most people will never get involved, but this guy can get permission, and the gendarmerie is escorted. From this, it is concluded that the relationship between the headquarters of the gendarmerie sent by North China has long been opened up, this Murano Naohiro Gendarmerie Osho also benefited a lot, so he was hospitalized.

"Miss Kawashima is too acclaimed. I am not a small person who works for the imperial army. A shallow fame is not worthy of praise, but you, Miss you, came from a prominent royal blood. You have a great reputation outside Guan and North China, and you have been in the process of forming Manchuria. Da Gong is the most respected spy flower of the Imperial Army. I have admired it for a long time." Chen Mingxiang said with a slight smile.

This is clearly a scolding of her forgotten her ancestors, colluding with the Japanese army and serving her life in Japan. She is a traitor who is personally cursed. But literally, it is indeed a compliment. Neither Kawashima Yoshiko nor Murano Naohiro could hear it.

"Where does Mr. Chen live? If you don't dislike it, the guest rooms in our Dongxing Building are not bad. They are also countable in the Japanese Concession." said Yoshiko Kawashima.

Her biggest backer is the previous commander of the North China Front Army, Hayao Tada, but Hayao Tada has now been transferred to reserve. Just like Naohiro Murano said, she has no value and fell out of favor with the Japanese military. It is now in the downturn. Which is as beautiful as before?

Chen Mingxiang didn’t know that Yoshiko Kawashima’s current life was a bit embarrassing, because she didn’t have a status and position, and she couldn’t get funding. And she, who has always spent a lot of money, was not used to such days and always wanted to find new sources of financial resources. , In order to support their high consumption.

Kengmeng kidnapping is not a long-term solution. The arrival of Chen Mingxiang has added a glimmer of hope to her. This is a god of wealth. With a little leak in her fingers, she can continue her luxurious life.

"Miss Kawashima, I have already booked a room for Chen Jun at the Yamato Hotel, so I won't bother you." Murano Naohiro said.

The briquettes factory near Jincheng Port has no sign, and Japanese military police are patrolling here. The coal yard is piled with coal as small as a hill, and the manufacturing site has high loess piles, accompanied by the huge roar of thirty machines. The briquettes are continuously manufactured.

Sun Dingxin has to go back and forth in various briquettes factories every day. This is the first transaction of the Beiping branch and the Jincheng office. It is still a relatively stable source of financial resources. Of course he has to take care of it.

Not only did the gendarmerie on duty nodded and bowed, even the workers in the briquettes factory heard the arrival of the big boss, and they worked harder. There is one family in Tianjin that can compare to none here.

The monthly salary of the 50 yuan bank coupon is neither high nor low. The factory has a full meal in the morning, noon, and evening. Cornmeal, pickles, and rice porridge are eaten open. There are benefits. The standard for a month is A pound of coarse salt, a pound of cane sugar, a towel, two bars of soap and ten boxes of matches.

What's more, the briquettes factory vacated two rows of warehouses to make dormitories, and distributed a teacup with enough broken tea pipes. Where can I find this kind of environmental treatment?

"We have sixty briquettes machines so far, and we produce about 9,000 quintals of briquettes every day. The total cost is 270,000 quintals in a month, which can fully meet the minimum needs. If you give me more machines, we must have more. More profits." Sun Dingxin said.

"It can only produce 300,000 quintals a month, which has reached the limit of the market. No matter how much, the Japanese and Chinese in the coal industry in the Shanghai stock market can't eat me raw?"

"The production order of the entire briquettes factory is in order, busy but not panic, Manager Sun, I have seen your ability, and you have not lived up to the high salary I offered you." Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.

"Boss, you have opened up all the key links. We have enough coal, water and electricity, and high salaries can recruit a large number of workers. There is no need to worry about sales at all. I am only responsible for production. I can't even do this. I have no face to stay here." Sun Dingxin said.

The manager of his office is specifically responsible for production and transportation, raw materials and sales links. Chen Mingxiang controls. It is not that he is worried, but that he does not have such skills. All relationships only recognize Chen Mingxiang.

"I decided to officially start the sale of briquettes on the 15th of next month. The freighter will arrive at Jincheng Port on the 5th. This is also your production deadline. Transport 200,000 pallets of briquettes to the port ahead of time. Freighter No. must set off and must not delay sales there." Chen Mingxiang said.

"You don't need to worry about this. I greet the military police unit on the dock in advance and prepare enough loading and unloading workers to ensure that the cargo ship will not be delayed." Murano Naohiro said.

Cargo shipments at the port are basically carried by manpower. For things like briquettes, one person can pick up baskets with one load, and one hundred catties of briquettes can be loaded onto the ship at a time.

The brutal Japanese army had more than a thousand civilians requisitioned in Tianjin. Two hundred thousand dan of briquettes sounded a lot, but in fact it would not take two days.
