The districts and local stations of the Military Statistics Bureau are the backbone of the entire framework. Their status is very special. The power and identity of the station masters are in a sense much stronger than that of the chiefs of the headquarters. High autonomy.

Other station masters and district leaders use their own resources to control the entire local station. Their role is to take command. The specific matters are handled by subordinates, which play a role of decision-making, but the directly subordinate station is just the opposite.

The nature of this station was originally relatively simple. It was the local station that Boss Dai reserved specifically to assist Chen Mingxiang. The core mission was to serve Chen Mingxiang's mission. It was not until the end of the military-controlled Shanghai district that the directly affiliated station truly became a local executive agency of practical significance.

In the past two years, the direct subordinate station has expanded rapidly in central China, becoming two intelligence offices at one time, and even extending its influence outside the pass and northern China.

The headquarters of the bureau provided personnel and equipment for these four intelligence departments, and the directly subordinate stations solved the funding and establishment. Strictly speaking, these four departments depend heavily on the directly subordinate stations, or Chen Mingxiang, to have their current scale and status. This is because of Chen Mingxiang. Of light.

"As the webmaster of the directly affiliated station, I have the responsibility to provide such an environment to my subordinates to increase loyalty and cohesion. Besides, I am not without benefiting from it. Everyone is dependent on each other for living together."

"Of course, it makes sense for you to say this. In the secret agent headquarters period, they relied on my resources to develop. In the later period, that is, the political security bureau, they must provide me with corresponding rewards and show their skills and achievements. ."

"The Foreign Intelligence Service and the North China Intelligence Service are restricted by the severe local situation. Especially outside the customs, it needs to be done step by step. It cannot be too strict. Even if I go to a new place, there is no way to quickly open the situation. Underestimate the threat of the enemy."

"But the First Intelligence Office and the Second Intelligence Office will have to speed up their pace in the future. I have given them enough resources to match, and the time for precipitation is not short. The bureau headquarters is also inclined to support the work of the Political Security Bureau. On the one hand, I hope to see bright spots." Chen Mingxiang said.

Regarding Chen Mingxiang's plan to take an army aviation transport plane to Anhui Province, the Gendarmerie Command has no doubt. Anhui Province has not only the purchase station of Huatong Trading Company, but also Chen Mingxiang's cigarette factory, especially the office of Jieshou, or smuggling. An important channel for materials.

The tobacco leaves of Shanghai Tobacco Factory pass through Jieshou from Henan Province and then transferred to Shanghai Stock Market. There are also large quantities of tea and tung oil, etc. In addition, Anhui Province is also an important coal and iron ore producer.

"General Kinoshita has already agreed with the airport. You can take a transport plane to Luzhou tonight. He wants me to tell you that the Southeast Trading Company's affairs must be handled quickly. The Shanghai stock market has a serious shortage of household registration rice, while Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces Other places cannot provide food to help the Shanghai market. Chen Gongbo has already issued an emergency notice to the consulate general in Shanghai. If this situation is not alleviated, the Shanghai market will have a major event."

"The tens of thousands of tons of rice plundered by the Southeast Trading Company is the only way to alleviate the situation. Due to the unfavorable armament collection, the Japanese merchants of the Huazhong Grain and Rice Purchase Combination also focused on this batch of grain and asked the gendarmerie for several They, you meet with Chen Gongbo in the afternoon to finalize this matter. As for the price of rice, you can make your own decision!" said Gangcun Shizo.

It’s not that the headquarters of the gendarmerie stationed in Shanghai only saw money and ignored the threat of food shortages for dispatched troops, but that the food shortage situation in the Shanghai stock market was serious. The food speculators were knocked out last time, and it only lasted until the end of July. In August, the hukou food was in emergency again, and September was almost too late.

A batch of rice in Jiangsu Province was smuggled by Li Shiqun, a batch was bought by grain speculators, a batch was purchased by the Food Department of the Wang Puppet Government, and a batch was forced by the Japanese army. There was no ability to support the household registration rice in Shanghai.

Everyone knows the importance of food. The turmoil in the Shanghai stock market caused by hunger is obviously something that the Japanese army did not want to see. The Pacific War was unfavourable, and even the most basic military operations were prohibited.

Facing the strong industrial production capacity of the veteran capitalist country, the United States, the Japanese cabinet and military understood in their hearts that it was impossible to carry out a strategic offensive against the U.S. military. They concentrated all their forces on defense, hoping to bring down the U.S. military. This is Fundamental strategy.

For this reason, the Japanese Cabinet and the Military Ministry have continuously recruited soldiers in the country and formulated a plan for the Kwantung Army to go south. The need for military materials is increasing day by day, which also determines the importance of the Shanghai stock market.

The consulate general in Shanghai rejected the request of the Huazhong Grain and Rice purchase portfolio and wrote to the gendarmerie command that the confiscated and sealed grain should be shipped to the Shanghai stock market as soon as possible to ease the crisis.

"Mingxiang, your Huatong Trading Company must use all its transportation power to transport the stocks of Southeast Trading Company back to the Shanghai stock market at the fastest speed. Now it has reached the most dangerous time."

"The report of the food department said that because the food shortage problem has not been resolved, 80% of the people in the Shanghai stock market have no overnight rice at home, and the household registration of the Grain Administration will not last a few days. If this goes on, within half a month, the Shanghai stock market will be hungry everywhere!"

"I reported this issue to Chairman Wang. The amount of mobilization from the Ministry of Grain is too small. Therefore, we must give priority to ensuring the rationing of government agencies and the police. Tell me the truth, how much food does the Southeast Trading Company have?" Chen Gongbo frowned and said.

"The people I dispatched to various places have not been counted, and there is no accurate report. But according to my estimation, it is 167,000 tons. According to the lowest standard, it can support at most until the end of the year. Without food, there will be an unprecedented famine in the Shanghai stock market." Chen Mingxiang said.

The actual figure is more than 10,000 tons more than what he said, but it is not all rice, and there are more than 3,000 tons of coarse grains. Chen Mingxiang intends to use underground party channels to provide them to ordinary people in Shanghai. Even though he would lose more than 20 million in the savings voucher at a time, he really had no choice.

Based on Chen Mingxiang's understanding of the bureaucrats of the municipal government, these grains can be used at the distribution agency of the Shanghai stock market. It is already very good that 30,000 tons can be used for 25,000 tons of household rice.

Although the people in the Shanghai stock market are about to starve to death, there are certainly many people who want to reach out to the grain. He still has to hang around in the Shanghai stock market and cannot offend this huge interest group.

"The quantity is too small. It is difficult to say when the Ministry of Grain will transfer grain to the Shanghai stock market. I think it is possible to leave 6,000 tons of rice as a reserve for the municipal government. The municipal government itself and its subordinate government offices in various regions Yamen, the security headquarters and the police station are also in great demand, which is the basis for maintaining operations." Mo Guokang said aside.
