Chapter 159 is short of money

"Bureau, Chunfeng's intelligence is indeed accurate. The Chengdu Airport was violently bombed by Japanese bombers last night. Fortunately, we evacuated the airport in advance and all personnel were evacuated, so we did not cause greater losses." Pan Qiwu said.

"I already know. Just after the meeting this morning, Director Zhou of the Aviation Committee reported the situation. The committee specially kept me here, praised the spring breeze, and ordered the evacuation of densely populated areas, and we must evacuate into air-raid shelters at night.

, the air defense forces and fighter jets are also ready." Dai Li said.

"Germany launched an attack on France. It is said that the war situation is very optimistic. Will this affect the concession?" Pan Qiwu asked.

"I have also heard from the committee members that the concession is the protection we rely on for survival, but the development of the situation depends on Japan's actions. If Japan declares war on Britain and the United States, the concession will definitely be affected, and the actions of Shanghai City will be even more difficult.

"

"But for us, we don't have the right to choose. We can only passively accept it, take it one step at a time, do the things in front of us first, and pay attention to the development of the war situation at any time." Dai Li shook his head.

Shanghai is an area occupied by the Japanese, and the concession has become an isolated island. The Japanese can eat it in one bite at any time if they are willing. Not to mention the Military Command, even the mountain city government can do nothing about it.

"Dongfeng called. He asked the bureau headquarters to keep an eye on the branch offices of Sakata Seimori's Chengda Company. He will definitely get evidence of counterfeit banknotes."

"Secondly, he said that he is planning to go to Anhui Province to set up a purchasing station, mainly to purchase cotton, bristles, tea, grain and other materials. He is currently negotiating with the Gendarmerie Headquarters, hoping to get care from the Hefei Gendarmerie."

"In addition, he will set up purchasing stations or branches in Jiangsu and Hangzhou, western Zhejiang, northern Jiangsu, the junction of Henan and Anhui, including Guangdong, Guangxi, Hunan and Fujian provinces. It is recommended that the bureau headquarters send people to the acquisition stations, so that

It can protect the safety of underground activities." Pan Qiwu said.

"If you send people to monitor Chengda Company, you must obtain conclusive evidence and provide it to the central bank. As for Dongfeng's intention to expand his business network, I think it is very good. The higher the use value to the enemy, the safer he will be.

The more information you will be exposed to, the more information you will have.”

"I am now the inspection director of the Wartime Freight Administration, and I am fully capable of helping him expand his business circle. Especially in terms of transportation, there is no problem at all. Any place he specifies, as long as it is in the Kuomintang-controlled area, can be transported to it in the shortest time."

"The military command bureau's power is expanding rapidly, and its funds are also becoming tight. You told Chunfeng that the bureau may use his company to make deals with gangs and unscrupulous businessmen in Shanghai. The tobacco, soil, and timber from Sichuan and Yunnan provinces,

Tea, Fujian Province, tung oil from Liangjiang and Lianghu are all open to supply him."

"Although he is an enemy by nature, in order to protect him as a strategic agent and to expand the strength of the military command, I must do this," Dai Li said.

In the 21st year, when the Fuxing Society Secret Service, the predecessor of the Military Unification Bureau, was first established, there were only over 170 people. However, when the Military Unification Bureau was formally established, the number of internal and external support personnel had expanded to more than 6,000, especially in Beijing.

The number of directly affiliated troops around Shanghai and Hangzhou reaches tens of thousands.

This speed of development has brought about a sharp increase in funding pressure, and spies from all over the country have reached out to ask for money, but the money provided by the mountain city government is a drop in the bucket.

At this time, the Shancheng government in the southwest had lost most of its wealth and wealth. Its own economy was also greatly restricted due to its geographical location, and tax revenue was reduced to a minimum. The Ministry of Finance was unable to bear the huge military expenditures of the Military Command Bureau.

Not to mention that there are more than 3 million regular troops directly affiliated with the mountain city government, and the money spent is even more than gold and silver can't cover. Faced with this situation, Dai Li, the big boss, also feels anxious about it.

Chunfeng's Huatong Trading Company began to come into his sight, using the power of military commanders to collect supplies, and then selling them to merchants in the Shanghai stock market, including Japanese companies, through Chunfeng. This could bring huge profits to military commanders and alleviate the financial crisis they were facing.

As for supporting the enemy, it is no longer a secret that the troops of the Shancheng government are smuggling into the occupied areas. Even the top bosses are not clean. How can the Military Command pretend to be so noble?

"The Southeast Trading Company at the Secret Service Headquarters has begun to transport scarce supplies to the Kuomintang-controlled area. The quantity is no less than that of the Huatong Trading Company. It seems that the Japanese have provided a large amount of resources to support this secret service agency. This may bring the value of Chunfeng

To adversely affect it.”

"According to a report from Chen Gongshu in Shanghai, the special agent headquarters has now expanded to more than 2,000 people, and is also preparing to set up branches in other regions." Pan Qiwu said.

"After the establishment of Wang Jingwei, in order to reduce their own pressure and create an illusion, the Japanese handed over the daily maintenance of order in the occupied areas to the puppet army and pseudo police agencies under Wang Jingwei, so that they could deploy troops to continue to fight with us.

Fight."

"Military reunification has posed a huge threat to Wang's rule, especially the campaign to eradicate traitors, which has inspired the confidence of the people across the country. For this reason, the Japanese have fully supported the secret service headquarters to target us. It is not difficult to understand Li Shiqun's crazy expansion." Dai Li

said.

Japan's economy has been overwhelmed by the war. The funds obtained in China are in principle used by the army that invades China, so as to achieve the purpose of supporting war with war.

To maintain such a large area of ​​​​occupation and meet the daily and combat needs of so many troops, the funds are far from enough to be consumed, which is destined to not allocate too much money to the secret service headquarters.

And since Wang was just established, his own funds were still provided by the Japanese government, and it was even more impossible to spend a lot of money to maintain the secret service headquarters. People and puppet troops from all over the country were reaching out to the Ministry of Finance for money.

Under such circumstances, the only option is to exchange materials to meet the expenses of the secret service headquarters, which can save a lot of money.

"Secretary, should we take measures against this company's activities? It would be unreasonable not to give Li Shiqun some color when they arrive on our territory," Pan Qiwu said.

"This suggestion can be implemented. The Southeast Trading Company has just been established. The business relationship with the Kuomintang-controlled area is only in its infancy, and the level of contact is not high yet."

"You inform Chunfeng, try to obtain this company's transportation plan, and order the Zhongyi Rescue Corps to destroy the transportation team. You must do it in a flawless manner and don't let Li Shiqun see through our purpose."

"We cannot stop this kind of behavior. The Kuomintang-controlled areas do need these supplies. Even if we drink poison to quench our thirst, we have to look at the present first." Dai Li also had no choice but to do anything about it.

He knew very well that once the big businessmen in the Kuomintang-controlled areas focused on Southeast Trading Company, even the Military Command Bureau would have no choice but to go around.

Especially the greedy two big families of Kong and Song, with old men as backers, the companies they set up, no one can touch in the Kuomintang-controlled area, and no one dares to touch. Baidu to read the latest chapters of "Ji Zhong Literature" for free as soon as possible
