On the morning of the second day after arriving in Xinjing, a grand awarding ceremony was held in the "Royal Palace" of the Puppet Manchukuo. High-level officials of the Puppet Manchukuo and some high-level officials of the Kwantung Army attended the ceremony. Dozens of reporters also came, constantly shining. The flash dazzled people's eyes.

Chen Mingxiang was bestowed with a Jingyun Dashou Medal, and the emperor of Manchukuo personally awarded him the medal. This will also be the headline news of the Manchukuo tomorrow.

Although it is a puppet government, the awarding of the medal is very cautious, especially the one-ranked Jingyun Dashou medal, which is usually awarded to high-level government and Japanese military generals, or to "ambassadors" of various countries, like Minister-level officials like Chen Mingxiang belonged to the Wang puppet government, and this is the first time.

"Chen Mingxiang, Director of Police Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Jinling Government, has made outstanding achievements in assisting the Ministry of Public Security of Manchuria to eliminate internal dangers and combating anti-Manchu anti-Japanese elements. Upon the request of the Ministry of Public Security, he was awarded a Jingyun Grand Ribbon Medal as a reward. And encouragement!" Lieutenant General Yasuna Yoshioka, the imperial servant, read the edict, and there was warm applause in the hall.

The medal given to Chen Mingxiang this time was indeed an application submitted by Major General Shibuya Saburo, the Deputy Chief of the Ministry of Public Security, but he did not expect to be one medal, two medals and three medals would be enough.

However, Yoshioka Yasushi took advantage of his power and directly mentioned Hoon. Chen Mingxiang was introduced to him by Matsui Takuro and gave him a meeting gift of 50,000 US dollars. He has never found any chance to return. This little thing is also for A little return from Chen Mingxiang.

The senior officials of Manchukuo also discovered that the chief police officer of the Jinling government had a very strong relationship with the Japanese military. The imperial court’s imperial officer, Lieutenant General Yasuji Yoshioka, and the chief of the State Council's Armed Forces Rokuzo were all talking and laughing with him. Needless to say, Saburo Nagai, the thing was initiated by him. The Kwantung Army Gendarmerie Commander Kato Tomajiro came, and even Lieutenant General Yukio Kasawara, the chief of the Kwantung Army’s general staff, was there in person. He couldn’t help but glanced at Chen Mingxiang. Kwantung Army But the master of Manchuria.

"Chen Jun, the Medal of Manchuria is not considered the most precious. I know that you have received the second-class Ruibao Medal of the Empire. I will ask the Empire to apply for another one to send strategic materials to the Kwantung Army. This is for the Empire. Those who have made great contributions should be praised." Kato Tomajiro said with a smile.

The award ceremony ended in less than half an hour. It was nothing more than a cutscene. Chen Mingxiang and a group of familiar Japanese generals went to the tavern to celebrate.

Although this medal was awarded by the Puppet Manchukuo, it also represents Chen Mingxiang's career as a strategic agent. With new breakthroughs, the more "honours" he receives from the enemy, the greater his work will naturally be.

When Chen Mingxiang arrived outside the customs, Wang Zhen also began to follow his instructions and sent a message to Changan Trading Bank, asking about the progress of the business and why he did not return the money to the headquarters.

The manager of Chang'an Trading Bank knew what was going on as soon as he looked at the content. Isn’t it obvious that the payment was not returned? The wholesalers have not settled the trading bank for the more than 3,000 tons of salt they sent. , Where's the business?

"Manager, this Shancheng company named Lianfeng is too outrageous. The salt we shipped from Yanzhou Saltworks was not given a penny. I really don’t know why the headquarters gave them the underwriting rights. Some of them are Dayan. The business can cooperate!" a clerk said dissatisfied.

"That is, the millions of legal currency liquidity we brought from the headquarters were all used to purchase salt, and the money did not return, and the virtuous cycle of buying and selling was cut off. Couldn't this company sell such a tightly-selling salt? Said another clerk.

The lake salt transported from the Yanzhou base by Chang'an Trading Company was all handed over to a Lianfeng company from Shancheng for underwriting. This was agreed at the beginning. It is estimated that this company has a deep relationship with the Shancheng government to transport salt. The process is unimpeded and there is a pass for the material inspection department.

However, trading banks need capital turnover. If a virtuous circle is not formed and the liquidity chain is broken, trading banks can only wait without the support of the headquarters.

"You two shut up and don't talk nonsense. The depth of this Lianfeng company is unfathomable. Be careful with your heads! In this way, you can drink two drinks at night from those who come to the trading house later, without showing any traces. Tell them about this, it means that the funds are broken, the trading bank needs to temporarily interrupt the business, and the wages can't be paid." The manager said in a low voice.

Can be selected to be the manager of Chang'an Trading Company. Some secrets were told in advance. Lianfeng Company is actually the material smuggling agency of the Shancheng Government Military Regiment Bureau. If you want to do salt trading in the Kuomintang Control Area, it is difficult to do without such a backing.

Therefore, he also understands how to deal with this matter, and he clearly asks the Military Statistics Bureau for stimulus, but it is necessary to report the situation.The salt transaction with the Yanzhou base cannot be interrupted. Lianfeng Company is still urging for the goods. As for how to operate, of course it is a hint!

The sales staff of Chang'an Trading Company responsible for the sale of salt were recruited from the Shanghai stock market and then came to Chang'an. These people who joined later, in addition to the drivers, are estimated to have the background of Lianfeng Company. It is equivalent to telling the Military Statistics Bureau.

"In the bureau, the dedicated radio station sent me a message. Our people lurking in the Chang'an Trading Bank reported that the reason why Chang'an Trading Bank did not supply Lianfeng Company is because there is a serious shortage of funds in the trading bank. The salt trade with the Yanzhou base did not continue."

"According to their current situation, Lianfeng is unable to provide salt to salt dealers in Sichuan and Shaanxi provinces this month. As for when to supply it, it may take a while," said Mao Renfeng.

The clerks of the Changan Trading Company were all recruited from the Shanghai stock market. They used to belong to the veteran qualifications of the British and American foreign companies. They were very experienced. They seemed to accidentally talk about this matter when they were drinking and chatting. Of course you have to report to the bureau headquarters.

This group of secret agents was carefully selected by the bureau's headquarters and prepared to infiltrate the base area, but they followed the convoy several times to the inside, but did not find any opportunity to infiltrate. The staff of the trading bank stayed temporarily.

However, each of them has a generous monthly salary, which far exceeds the military salary of the Military Regiment Bureau. Now the trading house cannot pay, and the income is affected. It is natural to reflect the problem. This is not the problem of the trading house itself. , It is the headquarter of the bureau that detained the payment for the goods and did not settle the account.

"What's going on? The salt traded by the Chang'an Trading Company from the Yanzhou base is currently a very important income of our Military Statistics Bureau, and the profit is very substantial. I remember there should be more than 3,000 tons? Why don't they give it? For the supply, did the manager fail to settle the payment for the goods?" Dai Li was so sophisticated that he immediately guessed what was going on.
