The purpose of Chen Mingxiang's visit to Suzhou this time is actually nothing more than three things. The first is the division of interests in salt affairs. Li Shiqun confirms the site he has obtained and cooperates to ensure the smooth promotion of salt sales.

The second is food. He wants to use the wealth he has earned to help the victims of the Shanghai stock market, provide help to the British and American diasporas in the public concessions, and obtain international resources for the future.

Then there is the use of top secret Japanese and puppet intelligence in exchange for the trust of Li Shiqun, deepening the personal relationship between the two sides, and thus obtaining more resources in Jiangsu Province.

As for the warning Zhou Haiwen, it was only incidental, and I asked this sentence because he found that the situation had changed and reached the expected conditions, and the opportunity to eradicate this big traitor came.

Today’s conversation between Chen Mingxiang and Li Shiqun is very important. He deeply felt that Li Shiqun’s current state of fear and unwillingness would never give up his vested interests. For this reason, he crossed the bottom line and used crazy money to build an army. Ability to protect.

For Li Shiqun, as long as it can bring benefits to himself, whether it is the Shancheng government or the underground party, there is no taboo, and he will use all means to achieve his goals.

The reason why Chen Mingxiang asked about the food shortage in the base area was to help the base area while leaving Li Shiqun in a desperate situation. Just like the Shancheng government, the Japanese army also wanted to get rid of the underground party and then hurry up. Whoever got in touch with the underground party would only have a dead end.

Even if there is a smuggling transaction between Li Shiqun and the Kuomintang Control Area, the Japanese will not mind. It was originally the power granted to him by the Mei agency, but if there is a transaction with the underground party, it is of another nature.

"The situation is just like what you said. Southern Jiangsu and Northern Jiangsu are not Yanzhou base areas. There is not only a blockade by the Shancheng government, but also continuous sweeps by the Japanese and puppet troops. The conditions in the two base areas are very difficult. I know why. These small actions will bring danger, and I chose to do so because of the material needs of the base area."

"Of course, I understand the meaning behind your warning. The War of Resistance may still take many years. I have to take a long-term view. Extraordinary actions are tantamount to drinking poison to quench my thirst. But this cruel environment prompted me to take risks to make a decision."

"In fact, the head of the base area did not agree with my operation. Huatong Trading Company is the only lifeline for transportation in the base area. There are no other ways. There are many comrades who are also trying their best to send supplies to the base area, but they add up. , The annual throughput is not as good as mine once."

"It's a bit too much. I can tell you that the base area is very short of food. Due to the enemy's long-term raids, normal farming is impossible, and the grain output is very small. And the amount of food I bought privately from Suzhou, Wuxi and Changzhou is very small, and we don't have that much. Money." Zhou Haiwen said.

Unconsciously, this kid has become a real underground worker. Chen Mingxiang can clearly feel that kind of change in thinking, full of thoughts and firm will. The only thing he lacks is experience and he is not mature enough, but time will make up for this shortcoming. .

"You tell the head of the base area that I can privately provide you with a loan to buy urgently needed food. The seller is Li Shiqun. For safety reasons, you have to contact him yourself."

"At the same time, the source of the grain purchase funds must be kept strictly confidential. Even at the leadership level, the less people know, the better. My identity is too sensitive and there must be no mistakes. If I let the Japanese know, it will be harmful. It's mine." Chen Mingxiang said.

"Great, I thank you for your help on behalf of the organization. Hey, that's not right. Li Shiqun is a traitor who has worked for the Japanese and the puppet government. How could he sell food to our base areas?" Zhou Haiwen was even more confused.

Li Shiqun serves as the director of the Secret Service Headquarters and the Secretary-General of the Qingxiang Committee. Both of these identities mean that they are deadly enemies with the underground party. Chen Mingxiang wants the underground party to buy food from him, which seems a bit unbelievable.

But Chen Mingxiang couldn't make a joke about this kind of thing, and he could do it when he said it. Why did Li Shiqun have such a big change? This unknown truth made Zhou Haiwen a little scratchy.

"Have you seen me doing something unsure? I said that if he can sell it, he will definitely be able to buy it. There is no danger to people who come into contact with him. It is best to state clearly the purpose, and covert things are bad. As for when to start operation, just wait for my call!"

"Purchase a batch at the end of December, but the quantity should not be too much. It is only if you can barely survive this period. It is now in mid-November. Basically all the rice and miscellaneous grains in Jiangsu Province have been snatched by the Japanese army, not shipped Japan was shipped to various places as military rations. In order to complete the grain transaction and make money, Li Shiqun really dared to take away the life-saving rations of the people."

"When rice and corn and other grains mature in July next year, and when new grains are on the market, buy them in large quantities. Don't worry about the money. I will prepare it in advance. You will find time to report to your superiors and implement them." Chen Mingxiang said.

For such a big matter, Zhou Haiwen's level definitely cannot be the master. You have to ask your superiors, but you are not in a hurry. It takes half a year to open your mouth.

Because if you want to deal with a person like Li Shiqun, it will not work overnight. It requires a long-term process and you must have sufficient patience.

As the director of the secret service headquarters, Li Shiqun made great contributions to the Japanese invaders. This kind of capable accomplice has the value of utilization. The key is that he has not violated the bottom line of the Japanese army. He wants to kill people with a knife. a lot of.

At the same time, Li Shiqun is a number of party and government officials in the Jinling government. The Central Standing Committee represents the core members. The provincial chairman is equal to the chief official in Xinjiang. The Secretary-General of the Qingxiang Committee represents the executive of major affairs, the Minister of Investigation and Statistics and the Director of the Special Agent Headquarters. The special powers of violent institutions.

Such a high-ranking and prominent figure, if it were not to the point where he had to be removed, the Japanese army would not act casually, because the impact was very bad and it would lower the mentality of high-level Jinling government to cooperate with Japan.

Because of this, Chen Mingxiang decided to proceed step by step. This is the result of long-term accumulation. He never thought that through something, he would overthrow Li Shiqun in one fell swoop, unless his brain flooded openly against the Japanese army.

"Boss, there is a person outside who claims to be Xiong Jiandong. He came to visit and said he was the commander of Huang Weijun." The bodyguard came in and said.

Xiong Jiandong came to Suzhou?

I remember that when Jiang Xia visited Shisan Shaozuo in Gangcun, I met this army traitor Xiong Jiandong. He used to be the guerrilla commander of the Loyalty and Righteous National Salvation Army in the Soviet province. He was often active in the Suzhou, Wuxi, and Changzhou areas. It was a coincidence that we came here this time, and unexpectedly ran into him.

Chen Mingxiang didn't know that Xiong Jiandong came to Su Zhou and would play a vital role in the plan he will implement in the future.
