As long as there are interactions between people, there will always be related households. Lieutenant General Shimomura was able to serve as the commander of the North China Front Army this time. His classmate, King Higashihisa Miya Minhiko, played a big role, and someone supported him. It's just different.

The classmate of King Minohiko Hisami is a member of the Japanese imperial family, a general of the army with real power, and the commander-in-chief of the local defense forces. His words are very generous, and those army leaders dare not be disobedient.

Few people, like Lieutenant General Yokoyama, do not stop at the top without supporting them, and work against their superiors. In the end, they can only be transferred back to the country and squat on the bench.

Of course, Yokoyama is a brave and eloquent general in the Japanese army after all. His commanding ability is excellent, which gives him a great guarantee. Even though he offended Marshal Toshiro Hata and General Neiji Okamura, he still became the Western Army after returning home. Commander.

"Lieutenant General Shimomura and I talked about coal and raw salt. He certainly agrees to these measures taken by Naozaburo Okabe, but opposes a one-size-fits-all approach. After all, the Jinling government is a regime supported by the empire, and coal and salt are related to rule. The stability of the district, he was very impressed by the lack of coal in the Shanghai stock market and the turbulence caused by the soaring salt price."

"So, what he meant is that you specifically authorize your coal companies and salt companies to continue to purchase coal and salt from North China to ensure the use of coal in the Shanghai stock market. Winter is coming soon. It is the peak of coal consumption."

"The raw salt of the Changlu Saltworks, including the raw salt of the Tanggu Saltworks, will increase to 20,000 tons per month starting from January next month, which is just enough for your four freighters to make a trip. But for the sake of justice, the Xiacun Dinglie will hope the least I can exchange half of the purchase price for various daily necessities."

"Food and cloth are the first choice, followed by cigarettes and tea. Then there are various hardware tools, matches, towels, toothpaste, toothbrushes, soap, etc. These can be exchanged for food from North China. We are all related to each other. To put it more bluntly, whether it is the China Reserve Voucher or the Union Bank Voucher, the Imperial Army itself has that Chen Jun can even allocate part of it to you if needed." Kato Tojiro said.

This is the direct impact of excessive raiding and plundering in the occupied areas. The Japanese army's own logistics supply also encountered great difficulties, especially food, which was simply not enough to eat.

The purchasing power of China Chuan Vouchers has fallen all the way. I can’t believe it. It is said that after December, the price of one stone of rice has reached 60,000 Zhong Chu Vouchers. What is the concept? It is equivalent to 500 yuan a catty of rice. !

On the day of Wang Jingwei's funeral, the money given by the Jinling government to the funeral members was only a savings voucher of 20 yuan per person, and one or two rice could not be bought in the Shanghai stock market.

Xiacun ordered the commander of the Thirteenth Army Headquarters in Shanghai. He knew that it was difficult to buy food in the Shanghai stock market, and people were starving to death every day, so he had to make the idea of ​​exchanging materials.

He hopes to use the industrial and commercial resources of the Shanghai stock market to ease the pressure on the North China Front, and exchange coal and salt in North China for daily necessities through Chen Mingxiang's hands, and then use them to exchange food from the people in North China.

"I can only say that I do my best. Grain and cloth are also in high demand in the Shanghai market. They can't be bought with money in the market. Prices are skyrocketing. A box of genuine cigarettes made in Xuchang tobacco leaves is actually sold in the Shanghai market. You have never heard of it for 500 yuan per box, right? But this is only the price of a pound of rice!" Chen Mingxiang shook his head and said.

This is definitely not the end. The China Reserve Certificates are no longer called money. The entire Wang puppet government’s money market has collapsed. Every month, billions of yuan of China Reserve Certificates are put into the market. It is a strange thing to not collapse!

"Do your best. Commander Shimomura also knows the situation here. If you can't do it, you won't blame you. Kinoshita-kun, the situation in the empire is very dangerous!" Kato Tomajiro said.

"How is the situation on the Filipino side? Can the 14th Front and the US forces enter a stalemate?" Kinoshita Eiichi asked.

"The Imperial Navy fought the U.S. Navy in Wright Bay, but the result was a big defeat. The main force of the combined fleet was basically lost and the ability to protect maritime transport was lost. Now the ammunition and supplies are not sent to the Philippines. We have no air supremacy. There is no dominance of the sea."

"From the battle of the Mariana Islands, we can also see the power gap between the Empire and the old capitalist countries like the United States. It is almost impossible to reach the stalemate stage by relying on ground forces alone, although as a soldier of the Empire, I It shouldn't be said, but the fact is the fact." Kato Tomajiro said.

After more than one o'clock, the three people arrived at the airport by car. After waiting for a few cigarettes, a transport plane landed from the sky and landed on the runway of Hongqiao Airport.

Tomajiro Kato, Sakae, Kinoshita, and Sifang Ryouji were all very familiar with them. They were all high-level members of the gendarmerie system. So, Tomarijiro Kato took the initiative to introduce Chen Mingxiang to Sifang Ryouji.

"Chen Jun is a great hero of the military police of our Imperial Army. I have also heard of my name for a long time. This time I came to the Shanghai Stock Exchange to take a post. I would like to ask Chen Jun to take care of me and continue to support my work." Sifang said, bowing.

"Don't dare to be, your commander is too complimented. Without the support of the gendarmerie, there would be no me today. I should ask you to take care of it." Chen Mingxiang also bowed.

The three briefly said a few words at the airport, and then drove to the station of the Shanghai Gendarmerie Headquarters. At this time, not only were all the Zoguan-level officers of the Shanghai Gendarmerie waiting in line, but also from various parts of Central China. The captain and assistant officer of the gendarmerie.

Major General Kinoshita Sakae City and Shifang Ryoujidai held a brief handover ceremony in the presence of Kato Tomajiro. It was nothing more than a speech, and even the specific work was not handed over. It was represented by the Super High Section Manager Shizuzo Komura. .

Because according to the order of the Tokyo Gendarmerie Command, Kinoshita Sakae needs to take this special plane to return to Japan overnight, and there is no time for handover.

"Chen Jun, I take your wish, so don't go to the airport to see me off. Huaxia said to send you a thousand miles away, you must wait for me to entertain Kato-kun and Sifang-kun!" Kinoshita Sakae said, standing by the car , Not let Chen Mingxiang send him to the airport.

Chen Mingxiang had to pretend to be present, but was finally stopped by Kinoshita Sakae City. This scene also moved a group of military police officers.

In fact, when Kinoshita Sakae returned to Japan, he was about to become a reserve officer. According to the current situation, there is no possibility of returning to China. Chen Mingxiang did not expect to be like Lieutenant General Shimomura. His power and influence.

All of these officers and soldiers of the Japanese military police had committed crimes in China. Since the other party insisted, he would forget it after he performed. The word friendship never existed at all.
