"It has only been four days since the advance troops of the Loyalty and National Salvation Army entered Shanghai on August 26, and more than a dozen reception agencies have popped up quickly. All forces are like hungry wild dogs.
Japanese and puppet property.”
"The physical conflict between you and the Shanghai Military Police today is nothing compared to them. I heard that some people fired shots because of ownership issues. It's just a complete fool!"
"According to the surveillance of the whole city by our direct station, the behavior of these reception agencies is really too much. They not only rob real estate, cars, gold, and banknotes, but also take in the lovers and wives of traitors. They are extremely shameless and are worse than bandits.
Return the bandits!”
"The people in Shanghai are extremely dissatisfied with such behavior, and public opinion is very unfavorable to the Shancheng government. This time, the Office of the Commissioner and the Shanghai Military Commissioner's Office convened a meeting with representatives from all parties to ask whether any specific measures have been taken to deal with these situations.
?" Wang Zhen asked.
She was extremely disappointed with the current situation in the Shanghai stock market. She did not expect that the various departments under the Shancheng government would be so greedy and even openly plundering.
The so-called receiving officers took the seals and posted them all over the Shanghai market. There were even more than a dozen seals from different departments on one property. Each said they sealed it first, and they insisted on their own words and refused to give in to each other.
What's even more shameful is that the personnel of the receiving agencies of these forces really have no bottom line in doing things. If they can't reach an agreement, they start shaking their fists, and if they can't reach an agreement, they shoot each other. Chen Mingxiang's behavior is considered very gentle.
In Wang Zhen's view, these properties, real estate, factories, enterprises, etc. controlled by the Japanese and puppets are all huge wealth accumulated by plundering and robbing the Shanghai people. According to normal procedures, what should be returned to the original owners should be returned to the original owners, and what should be confiscated
Collection of the treasury treasury!
The surrender ceremony has not yet been held, the city government has not been established, and there is no unified command structure, so swarms of people have rushed out to accept them. Isn't this obviously an attempt to avoid supervision and enrich their own pockets?
It is so easy for them to eat it, but it is difficult to make them spit it out. Wang Zhen will never naively think that they are seeking benefits for his department, and the essence is to gain benefits for himself.
When the situation in the Shanghai stock market stabilized and the handover work was completed, most of the Japanese and puppet assets fell into their pockets in various ways.
They may not have much ability to fight against the Japanese and puppets, but these people are very skilled in how to deal with assets. In the end, they will definitely end up with no solid evidence and nothing to do.
"This meeting stipulated the standards for various agencies to carry weapons in office buildings and plainclothes armed forces, the number of car license plates, the establishment of a temporary liaison office for various military agencies stationed in Shanghai, the investigation of whether there are any fake and deviant actions, and that all units should report each other, etc.
Measures. But in reality, they are of no use?"
"Now the Japanese are just waiting to be repatriated after being disarmed and have their property confiscated. They naturally turn a blind eye to the ugly behavior of these mountain city government reception agencies. The operational command headquarters represented by Zhou Fahai is a temporary transitional agency and dare not take care of it.
Not available."
"As for the Office of the Representative of the Central Military Commission and the Office of the Military Representative in Shanghai, to put it bluntly, they are just showing off. No one can afford to offend them. Who among these receiving agencies who dare to take the lead does not have the support of big forces behind them?"
"Look, the Third War Zone, the Third Front Army, the Military Unification Bureau, the Central Unification Bureau, the Central Party Headquarters, the Three Youth League, the Municipal Party Headquarters, what kind of institutions are these? Can they afford to offend them? They are playing with the law.
It’s a trick that doesn’t blame everyone!” Chen Mingxiang said with a sneer.
Destroying someone's wealth is like killing one's parents. Everyone knows this truth. Corruption in the mountain city government does not happen in a day or two. Therefore, the so-called rules and regulations are all used to deceive oneself, and it is impossible for anyone to abide by them.
Since the Japanese government has surrendered, the Japanese troops in Shanghai are now waiting for the handover. Apart from assisting the Yamashiro government to prevent the underground party from attacking Shanghai, they can do nothing else.
All factories controlled by Japanese businessmen were shut down. They returned to their residences and waited to be deported to the country. They did not dare to control or ask questions about the taking over of real estate, trade names and enterprises by the receiving agencies.
The Wang Puppet Government has collapsed. The Shanghai Special Operations Command, represented by Zhou Fahai, is like a mouse meeting a cat when encountering these receiving agencies. They only want to avoid being held accountable, so how can they care about these things.
The traitors in Shanghai, both big and small, are all on tenterhooks. When staff from the reception agency come to visit them, they not only give away gold, silver, jewelry and real estate, but some traitors even have their lovers robbed, making the whole Shanghai city a mess.
"It's really chilling. During the August 13th Battle, the mountain city government troops suffered more than 300,000 casualties. Our military command bureau engaged in underground activities in Shanghai and fought against the Japanese and puppets at the risk of their lives. A mere Shanghai man died in a few years.
There are thousands of people, but I didn’t expect that just after the victory, this group of people would come out to snatch the fruits of victory!”
"However, no measures were taken to deal with the more than 6,000 foreign nationals and more than 1,000 Allied prisoners of war detained in the concentration camps. They are still in a situation of lack of food and clothing. The directors of the former Ministry of Industry and Commerce of various countries are very dissatisfied with this and threaten to
You have to go to the embassy to file a complaint." Wang Zhen said.
In order to be able to get help after going abroad, and to increase Chen Mingxiang's weight in the Military Command Bureau, she has been helping the expatriates in the concentration camp during this period to maintain her daily life without being affected.
Since Japan surrendered, rice, flour, vegetables, fruits, etc. can naturally be openly transported to the concentration camps. Anyway, they have their own cigarette factory, and they can smoke Bund cigarettes made from Xuchang Tobacco as they please, as well as American goods sent by the Military Command Bureau, and their living standards are as good as
Compared to before, it was heaven and hell.
The key is that this is not speculation after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War. Ever since they were imprisoned in the concentration camp, they have been secretly taken care of by Chen Mingxiang and Wang Zhen. Therefore, the friendship between Wang Zhen and the expatriates has become deeper and deeper.
Several directors of the Ministry of Industry and Industry Bureau were also very grateful to her and did not shy away from her if they had anything to say.
"Now these people only have gold and jewelry, villas and houses, and beautiful cars in their eyes. Who cares about these foreigners? Besides, this is a special group. Foreigners don't dare to make money even if they have money, let alone a group of people.
Damn it if you care about a pauper who has been plundered!"
"Actually, we can't completely blame this group of people for ignoring them. The city government has not yet been established, and these receiving agencies do not have the authority to place these people. Without such authority, they need to wait until the handover is completed before they can start this work."
"These things are not something we can worry about. Let's think about preparing some gifts for Boss Dai and the big guys from the Military Command Bureau. We are going to the mountain city the day after tomorrow. This is the top priority!" Chen Mingxiang shook his head and said.
Although the foreign expatriates have regained their freedom in the concentration camps, their specific lives have not yet been settled. The key is their real estate, shops, and companies. They have been confiscated by the Japanese army. The situation was unclear for a while. This work can only wait until the Shanghai market has completely settled down.
Only after the municipal government of Shanghai is established can it be implemented slowly.
