Whether it is the right to sell salt or the 30,000 pieces of cotton cloth this time, the fundamental reason is the new strategy of the Japanese government against the puppet government. Otherwise, there will be absolutely no good things. Even if you step on shit, you can’t step on it every day. of.

After Chen Mingxiang "knows" the news, Ota Taiji can talk about the insider information. Although he has clicked until the end, it can be said that the core content is one sentence. Increasing the materials necessary for war is tantamount to plundering China's resources. Support the war launched by Japan.

In order to reduce the hatred of the people in the enemy-occupied areas towards Japan, they also used the supported puppet government to assist Japan in obtaining strategic resources, entangled the puppet government in the forefront, and granted material control powers, including returning military factories and concessions. Deception conceals the essence of his secret manipulation, hides behind the scenes and enjoys the results.

In this adjustment of the new relationship and new strategy, the Japanese government and military department are determined to beat the chaebol. An important content is to break the pattern of Japanese businessmen monopolizing the economy and people's lifeline.

Regardless of salt or coal, Japanese state policy companies used to exercise control over power, and the Wang puppet government simply could not get involved.

But in fact, because these state policy enterprises are actually controlled by chaebols, they are very disobedient. For example, the price of cotton cloth mentioned by Taiji Ota is a typical representative.

The Cabinet and the Military Department certainly hope that the lower the price, the better, so that military expenditures can be reduced, and Japan's economy will be dragged down by the war.

But the chaebol believed that even if it was military supplies, it would have to earn corresponding profits. Businessmen were neither soldiers nor government officials. All they did was for the sake of money and wealth. They also made great contributions to the war and should enjoy them. To the resources and privileges brought by the war.

"In other words, when Chairman Wang comes back from his visit to Japan in December, about January, the new strategy will begin to be implemented?" Chen Mingxiang asked.

"You can think of it this way. The form is indeed the same as what you said, but the transfer procedures for various tasks are more complicated and not so fast. The whole process takes about a year to complete."

"The garrison is a little dissatisfied with the decision of the military department, and it is not easy to promote it. The manager department of the dispatch army headquarters and the manager department of the front fleet command do not agree to give the control of materials to the Jinling government." Taiji Ota said.

The corruption and inefficiency of the Wang puppet government were worrying about the Japanese military. They believed that it is better to hand over the control of materials to the administrative agencies than to the commercial institutions established by businessmen on both sides, and Japanese businessmen must take the lead.

Under such circumstances, the Wang puppet government wants to regain this power, it can be said that it is a long way, and it is by no means a decision made by the military and the cabinet to implement it smoothly.

"Your Excellency General, I will fly to the customs tomorrow. Tonight, I will host a family banquet to thank you for your care, and please be sure to honor you." Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.

People are about to leave the Shanghai stock market. It is time to honor the promises made before. Before the Japanese invaders fail, he must fulfill what he said.

"Of course, I'm going through the work handover procedures with the Consulate General in Shanghai. It's less than a month before I return to Japan. I'm very happy to be at Chen Jun's house for a dinner. I will bring this batch of cotton bill of lading. In about twenty days, you will be able to pick up the goods in the warehouse at the port." Taiji Ota said with a smile.

He knew in his heart Chen Mingxiang's invitation and the meaning behind it. With this batch of cotton cloth, he would get a very huge fortune, and the rest of his life and several generations would not have to worry about life problems.

After Chen Mingxiang left the Central China Liaison Department of the Xingya Academy, he did not go home. Instead, he came to the Yunhua Restaurant. In name, he wanted the restaurant to deliver food to his family, but actually he wanted to inform Zheng Tonghui of the information he had obtained.

Generally speaking, he rarely asks for food in this way, and it is for his own safety considerations, but Yunhua Restaurant is not a problem, and Zheng Tonghui will definitely supervise it himself.

"Old Zheng, I got the information. Around the 14th of this month, the 17th Division of the Japanese Army and the 15th and 36th Divisions of the Jinling Government are going to fight against the underground party base in the Lianghuai and Huaihai areas. Do a big sweep." Chen Mingxiang said in Zheng Tonghui's office.

"I remember, thank you for the information you provided. This is very important to our base area. I will send the news home tonight. In addition, the superior asked when your trading house will start operating?" Zheng Tonghui said.

"I have to go outside the customs tomorrow. It will take about ten days to come back. If you have any difficulties, you can tell it in advance. There is no need to wait until the salt sales are settled." Chen Mingxiang said.

"My superiors gave me new instructions and are very supportive of our cooperation in salt. Since the base area implemented the self-made production campaign, it can be said that the results have been remarkable, and the external dependence has been reduced a lot, but it is still in a situation of lack of materials. "

"At present, the urgent need is cloth, stationery, paper, hardware, dyes, radio parts and batteries, etc. The weather is slowly getting colder, and the demand for cotton cloth is very large. Although our hand-woven textiles have solved some of the problems, there is still great gap."

"What we mean is, if it is convenient for you, can a certain amount of scarce supplies be shipped to the base in advance? Don't worry, we will use salt as a guarantee, and it won't cost you a cent." Zheng Tonghui said.

Now that the two parties have started cooperation in table salt, the base area has the confidence to ask Chen Mingxiang. There is really no gold and silver, but the amount of edible salt can be guaranteed. It doesn't matter if you give more. Anyway, you do business with Chen Mingxiang. It is impossible to suffer.

"Everything else is easy to say. I'll let the people from Huatong Trading Company prepare for it later, but cotton cloth is the most troublesome. This kind of material cannot be traded temporarily. It does not mean that I can't get it. At any rate, Suzhou has three textile factories. Thinking of ways, I can always get two to three thousand pieces."

"The problem is that the distance from Suzhou to the base area is too far, and the size of the cloth is too large, so it is easy to be spotted. In fact, a car can’t hold much cloth, and it’s too conspicuous to use a fleet for transportation. It is easy to say that going north will definitely touch the nerves of all forces." Chen Mingxiang shook his head and said.

Zheng Tonghui also feels a headache when he hears this. He knows that Chen Mingxiang is right. There is too much demand for cloth in the base area. There is no problem with three carts and five carts of stationery paper or dyes, but this number of trucks is definitely not good. If you get ten The large convoy of a few cars is really eye-catching, and it is inevitable that it will not be suspected by the enemy. Cotton cloth is the control material.

But winter is coming, the old folks in the base area have to make cotton-padded clothes, and the army also has demand. What can we do?
