Listen, this is the dirty way of thinking and remarks of the invaders. In order to meet their own food needs, they don't care how many people starve to death in the occupied areas. For them, that is a secondary issue!
In fact, the Japanese army has always done this on the land of China. Rape and robbery are what they have in common. Whether it is the large-scale raids in North China or the battle of Henan, Hunan and Guangxi, the Chinese people in the occupied areas have been tortured.
.
But in the past, it had not reached such a crazy level. Japanese businessmen even pretended to buy with counterfeit money, and used the puppet government of Wang and the puppet regime of Manchukuo to expropriate, hoping to enslave the people in the occupied areas.
Now as the situation changes, the plundered resources alone cannot support the army's logistical support, so they simply tear off the mask and resort to force-grabbing to maintain the army's survival.
"New Year's Day is coming soon. This time I came outside the customs and brought some gifts to the two generals. They are not many. I hope you don't mind." Chen Mingxiang said.
He was deeply aware of Saburo Miura's greed. If it hadn't been for the full support of the military police major general, Huatong Trading Company would not have developed into the largest smuggling organization in Central China.
One person gave a red envelope worth ten thousand dollars, plus five large yellow croakers engraved with the New Year's Day commemoration of Huatong Trading Company, a box of cigars, a box of red wine, and two kilograms of tea.
"I deserve such an expensive gift! What the Kwantung Army needs most now is cotton, but your textile factory has no supply. But since you have come outside the Kwantung, I can't let you go back empty-handed."
"In this case, you send a telegram to the Shanghai Stock Exchange tomorrow and send a ship to Yingkou Port. There is a batch of cotton yarn seized a long time ago in the warehouse at the port. It involves ownership. Businessmen and textile factories in the empire are fighting each other. The lawsuit has even reached the headquarters.
, angered General Umezu Yoshijiro, and has never dealt with it."
"Although the quantity is not very large and it takes a long time, there is no problem in spinning it into cotton cloth. I don't want you to pay for the goods. I can buy some cigarettes and tea as consolation gifts. That will even the situation." Yoshitake Furuno said with a smile.
.
As the manager of the Kwantung Army Headquarters, he has very great power. He can just say a few words to transfer some supplies, but he does not dare to transfer too much. After all, the Kwantung Army is not rich now.
"I have to go back and take a look at the warehouse of the Military Police Headquarters to see if there are any good things. I can put them on the transport plane flying to Shanghai. You just have to let people take them." Miura Saburo said.
After drinking until midnight, the two senior Japanese military officials left. Chen Mingxiang glanced at the two sisters who were clearing the table, then returned to his bedroom and sorted out what he heard in detail. Most of this was outdated information, but some of it was useful.
information.
After getting up in the morning and eating steamed buns and porridge, the managers of the Xinjing branch came to report on their work. The current business situation was relatively stable, and under the care of the Japanese military police, no one dared to cause trouble.
The sales of silk, satin and tea exceeded Chen Mingxiang's original imagination. Official wives and young ladies in major cities in the Puppet Manchukuo had a special liking for silk and satin from the south of the Yangtze River, and sales continued to rise.
"Our boss is really powerful. Not only can he walk sideways in central China, but he is even more powerful outside the customs. These two Japanese girls in kimonos are two well-known flowers in Xinjing. Unexpectedly, they gave our boss
Be a maid."
"Shut up and speak lower down. They can all speak fluent Chinese, but you are right. Not just anyone who has a good relationship with the Japanese army can get Japanese beauties to take care of him."
Seeing two Japanese beauties pouring tea and water for themselves, everyone present admired the boss. Outside the customs, Japanese people have the highest status, while Chinese people have the lowest status. They are not as good as the one next to them.
The status of the Korean people in the small country.
"The supply of tea and silk is relatively stable. I have my own tea farm and mulberry garden. As long as the current situation does not change much, you don't have to worry about this problem. This time I said hello to the Kwantung Army and the headquarters will arrange a ride.
The transport plane arrives in Shanghai, and everyone can take turns going home during the New Year."
"I won't say anything about work. The next time I come will definitely be after the New Year. The day after tomorrow I will go to Bingcheng to visit related households and see the local sales situation. Then I will take a plane to Peiping to visit the company and various stores.
Prepare the application for bonus distribution, and while I am staying in Xinjing for two days, I will sign it for you in advance and it will be deducted directly from the payment." Chen Mingxiang said.
He was really prepared to stay for two more days. On the one hand, he wanted to get the bill of lading signed by Major General Yoshitake Furuno and send someone to Yingkou Port. On the other hand, he wanted to learn more about the Kwantung Army's intelligence.
Although the Yamashiro government was too far away from the border and the Kwantung Army's combat intelligence was of little use, the U.S. military attacking Japan could use it.
Chen Mingxiang is also worried about the work of the Foreign Intelligence Office. The environment here is indeed too cruel, and the Japanese and puppet defenses are too tight, and they have been unable to open up the situation.
The two offices and an intelligence office directly under the station continued to make achievements during the period when the Japanese army launched the Battle of Henan, Hunan and Guangxi. They were commended by Boss Dai and the bureau headquarters, and their mentality also changed a bit.
"Virgin, there is a message from the station headquarters. Chen Mingxiang, the boss of Huatong Trading Company, has arrived in Xinjing. The stationmaster ordered the main leaders of our department to get in touch with him as soon as possible. This afternoon he will be at the main store of Baoshengyuan Tea Shop on Main Road.
Wait." The telecommunications section chief said.
"I knew this day would come sooner or later. Look at the First Intelligence Office and the Second Intelligence Office directly under our station. Now they have been upgraded to four provincial offices directly under the Military Command Bureau. Both leaders have become major generals. The North China Intelligence Office is now
He performed well in the Battle of Henan, Hunan and Guangxi, and the committee members and Boss Dai issued numerous commendations and generous bonuses."
"But what about our Foreign Intelligence Office? Since its establishment, we have spent so much money every month, but we have not made any dazzling achievements. I guess the station leaders have been patient with us for a long time. If we entrust Chen Mingxiang as the representative this time, we will definitely suffer a lot.
Scold." Li Chengliang said helplessly.
He was sent by the station directly to establish an intelligence office outside the customs. It could be said that he shouldered the expectations and mission of the station leader. Before coming, Wang Zhen also talked to him and made the station commander's intention clear.
Taking advantage of the opportunity that the Military Control Bureau's forces outside the Pass were wiped out by the Japanese and puppets, and the area outside the Pass became a blank area, he was asked to take root outside the Pass and set up a new intelligence network.
To this end, the directly affiliated station allocated resources and asked him to bring a group of experienced veterans to come to the outside of the customs. He also specifically asked Huatong Trading Company to set up a Xinjing branch outside the customs. The funds for the intelligence office came directly from the finance department of the branch.
Withdraw money, give money to people, and the bureau headquarters also assigned a group of people one after another.
