"Ono-kun, you are my best friend in the Japanese Navy. You have helped me a lot in the past few years. Since this matter is related to your future, I will try my best to help you. I will give you four thousand pieces of cotton cloth. , It can be handed over to you tonight." Chen Mingxiang said.

"It's really great. I will immediately notify the finance company to send you the payment, and I will take someone to the warehouse to receive it in the evening, Chen Jun, thank you for your help!" Ono Nakazuo stood up excitedly.

The cotton yarn market in Shanghai stock market has always been dominated by the army, and he also knows that Chen Mingxiang does not have much inventory in his hands, and even the textile factory in Suzhou is half dead. It is not easy to get so many goods at once. .

"Ono-kun, my guard wants to increase its firepower. I heard that the Marine Corps has the Hundred-type submachine gun developed by the Empire. Can you get me a few? I also have to take measures for my own safety. I have no place for firearms. Get it, you have to ask for your help." Chen Mingxiang asked.

The Hundred-type submachine gun was produced by Japan in 1949. The shape is similar to the German MP-18 submachine gun. It uses 8mm bullets and is common with the southern 14-type pistol.

The magazine has a capacity of 30 and 50 rounds, equipped with bayonet and bipod, the current length is 102.5 cm, the effective range is 120 meters, and the output is not very large.

This submachine gun is basically being tested by the Army. The troops participating in the test are in the South Pacific battlefield. The Marine Corps is also equipped with a small part, which is not a standard weapon.

"The Hundred-style submachine gun is not equipped with the Marine Corps in Shanghai on a large scale. Fortunately, your guards are not large. I can think of a way to give you a few. When the concession was captured, the Marine Corps collected a batch of weapons. There is nothing very good, such as Browning pistols and revolvers. We also don't need these weapons in the Marine Corps. We choose a good batch of them and give them to you." Ono Nakasa thought for a while and said.

He didn't tell a lie. The number of Hundred-type submachine guns is indeed not many, just a few hundred. In the face of the large number of Marines, they can't be standard equipment, and they are not even used in the warehouse.

According to the thinking of the Japanese army, why use a few bullets to solve the problem that one bullet can solve? That is a pure waste of resources. Therefore, the Baishi submachine gun is positioned as a small light machine gun.

This time the transaction did not go through the Kodama agency to pay for the goods, and there was no need to distribute dividends to Kodama and the scholar. Therefore, Chen Mingxiang gave Ono Nakasa four hundred and fifty dollars for each piece of cloth as a thank you, but the other party only received two pieces each. Hundred dollars.

At each stage, there are different needs. At this time, Ono Nakasa is most concerned about his military rank. Money is secondary. No soldier does not want to be a general. So is he. However, the gap between Nakasa and the general is too far, and Dazuo has hope. Up.

After attending the meeting of the Six Nations, Wang Jingwei returned to Jinling on the evening of the 7th. An emergency meeting was held on the morning of the 8th. In response to the current situation in the Shanghai stock market, a so-called "Cotton Cotton Yarn Inspection Measures" was formulated to stipulate all Cotton cloth sold without permission shall not be broken up into pieces and sold privately. Violators will confiscate the goods and impose penalties.

"Director Chen, the Shanghai stock market is clean, but many black cotton markets have emerged in many places. A large number of cotton merchants have turned their targets underground. Some registered goods have also appeared inconsistent quantities. Hope The police station can severely crack down on this kind of thing and cannot continue to let it go." Nie Lusheng came to the police station again.

Upon receiving the official document from the Jinling government, Chen Mingxiang ordered the police station to mobilize and evacuated all the cloth shops' stalls. As a result, the market would clearly not see the goods.

But the cotton merchants could not sit back and watch their losses, so they joined forces to engage in the black market of cotton and continued to sell cotton. The cotton gauze office had to come to discuss with Chen Mingxiang. The Huatong Trading Company was a public acquisition.

"Director Nie, the police station is not a servant of your Chamber of Commerce and Industry. We only follow the official documents of the government. Anyway, the task is no longer complete, so you don't need to worry anymore. , Beware of angering colleagues and causing trouble for yourself."

"As far as I know, your Chamber of Commerce has bought the cotton gauze office and has searched a large amount of cotton gauze. The main yarn factories, textile mills, cotton shops and cloth shops in Shanghai have all been emptied by you, and there are no registered ones. The goods are only a few, so digging three feet more will be boring." Chen Mingxiang didn't care.

"Director Chen, of course we are not willing to pursue it. The so-called compulsory acquisition method is shallow and deep in everyone’s mind, but this phenomenon was published in the Japanese newspapers. The Ministry of Industry of the Jinling government today demanded that the Chamber of Commerce There is nothing we can do to crack down on the black market of cotton cloth!"

"They actually don't object to the cloth-selling business union, they are all peers, but since the Japanese want to track down, they have to take action to deal with it. Everyone means that they can at least make a deal." Nie Lusheng said with a wry smile.

Chen Mingxiang suddenly understood that these Chamber of Commerce people also felt the pressure and were unwilling to tear their faces with their peers. This time the inspection of the cotton black market is also to deal with errands and acting. Even the governing bodies have the same attitude. One can imagine Wang How corrupt is the pseudo-government?

"It's not impossible. As long as the Chamber of Commerce provides funds, the police station can talk easily. In this way, you first print a batch of publicity materials, and I want the police stations in various regions to post it and launch a combat campaign. Every day subsidy is indispensable. Can you buy a pack of cigarettes for a meal?" Chen Mingxiang said.

"We can provide funding to the police station, but there are more than 16,000 police officers in the city. It is really impossible to pay per capita. In this way, we will print publicity materials and notices. There are 14 branches in the old public concession and the old French concession. There are five sub-bureaus, a lump-sum allocation of 1.9 million vouchers for the ten-day operation, isn't this outrageous?" Nie Lusheng said.

It is said that this kind of subsidy is a bit outrageous, and it did not follow the license procedure. The police department was originally obliged to assist the Chamber of Commerce in the work of the Chamber of Commerce. It should be applied to the municipal government, and the municipal government would ask the police department to perform its tasks. This is normal. Process.

Doing so now means that the Chamber of Commerce will give each branch 10,000 yuan a day for the savings of vouchers, and sum up the funds for 190,000 yuan for the savings of vouchers a day.

Of course, although the numbers sound astonishing, the total establishment of these dozen police sub-stations amounts to nearly 8,000 people. Based on the subsidy of ten yuan per person per day, that is 80,000 yuan, which is really not very high.

A voucher for ten dollars is not enough to eat a simple meal on the street. It is fine to buy a pack of cigarettes. Moreover, the Chief of Police Department, Chen Mingxiang, was in the Wang Puppet government, and no one dared to provoke the money. The money was given to the police station. , No one would dare to make trouble.
