#160;The purpose of the Japanese invaders in supporting the Wang Puppet Government was to plunder China's resources and enslave the Chinese people. However, when doing things, the Japanese often have to be bitches and erect memorial arches. They have to find a high-sounding reason.
To cover up one's wolfish ambitions.
#160;In order to show that the Wang Puppet Government is China's "orthodox" government, the Japanese are also gradually retreating from the front to the background. For example, China Reserve Bank is a good example.
#160; If the Wang Puppet Government wants to maintain its own operations, it does need to develop financial resources. These traitors will not innovate. What they will do is squeeze businessmen and ordinary people. Therefore, if they want to have the power to control materials, they can only drink some soup.
, better than nothing, right?
#160; "I have long heard that Director Chen is young and promising, and is a rising star in Shanghai. Since I met him tonight, can I ask you to dance?" He Zhuoxian came to the front with a sweet smile.
#160; He and his twin sisters danced each other in a daze, attracting envious looks. Chen Mingxiang was very puzzled. They didn't make any demands on him, they just left a phone number. What did this mean?
#160; "Thank you Chen Jun for your generous gift to the imperial army, and thank you Chen Jun for your support and loyalty to the empire. We can talk about some more intimate topics at the cocktail party at the Military Police Headquarters in a few days." Commander of the Thirteenth Army
The new commander of the Ministry, Lieutenant General Sawada Shigeru of the 6th Army said.
#160;This is a rare one-eyed general among Japanese generals. One eye has been removed. He belongs to the radical faction in the Army and advocates an alliance with Germany.
#160; Admiral Shimada, the supreme commander of the Japanese Navy in China, did not say a few words to Chen Mingxiang. He shook hands and said they would talk more at the cocktail reception at the headquarters of the 6th Navy.
#160;On New Year's Eve, Chen Mingxiang used more than a dozen trucks from Huatong Trading Company's transportation team to deliver a large amount of "condolence" materials to various intelligence agencies and garrison headquarters.
#160;These gifts are obviously very popular with these high-ranking Japanese officials, especially those at the officer level, and the quantity and quality are unprecedented.
#160;Somewhat strangely, I didn’t see Nanzo Yunzi on such an occasion. This was simply not like her style. Chen Mingxiang had a bad feeling.
#160;Last time, two brothers were arrested at the Shanghai Municipal Station of the Military Command Headquarters. It was Nan Zao Yunzi who did it secretly. Could it be that she has discovered something new?
#160;"Director Chen, I have a friend from Shaanxi Province who has brought a few bottles of Xifeng wine that has been stored for many years. I will not visit you at your home. How about we sit together at noon?" The call came from Zheng Tonghui.
#160;"Okay, let's find a restaurant near your newspaper office and have a Sichuan meal. You are really stingy. I give your newspaper office so much business, how many bottles of wine are you going to beat me?" Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.
#160; Chen Mingxiang, who had not woken up until ten o'clock in the morning, suddenly became energetic. Zheng Tonghui's meaning was easy to understand. It must be Lu Kunyu who wrote to him.
#160;Zheng Tonghui gave an address. Chen Mingxiang washed his face and was about to go out when the phone rang again.
#160;"Chen Jun, I'll come over at two o'clock in the afternoon. I need to discuss something with you." This is a call from Sakata Seimori from Sugi Agency.
#160;Since the last test failed, the Shan Agency has not contacted Chen Mingxiang. Suddenly they want to meet. It is probably that the counterfeit banknote plan has been launched again.
#160; Zheng Tonghui asked for a single room in a Sichuan restaurant at an intersection away from the newspaper office. Restaurants that can be opened in the concession are not too badly decorated and usually have several single rooms. After all, the consumption level is here.
Opening a piece of white paper with multiple folds, Lu Kunyu's familiar Juanxiu font appeared on it. This was a letter of peace.
She did not mention her name, but used the nickname "Bad Guy". She said that she had arrived at her destination and was studying intensely. Although the conditions here were very difficult, her spirit was very full.
There are only a few sentences to report that everyone is safe, and the rest, which is thousands of words long, is just a private "whisper" between the two of them.
Although Lu Kunyu's words were very tactful, Chen Mingxiang could feel her deep longing for her from between the lines. She had been living under his care, but suddenly she was in a strange environment. It was strange that she felt homesick!
"Now that she has arrived safely, I am relieved. When the Spring Festival is approaching, I will give your school some New Year's goods."
"I heard that Yanzhou also produces a small amount of oil. Let's do this. In order to deceive others, I will buy you some gasoline and use it as fuel for the transportation team at a higher than market price." Although Chen Mingxiang was reluctant to part with it, he still burned the letter.
letter.
The development and refining of oil in Yanzhou is also of great significance to China, because it represents the beginning of the oil industry, which can even be traced back to the Qing Dynasty.
The Qing government once hired Japanese technicians to purchase Japanese steam drilling rigs and drilled two wells in the Yanzhou area. However, due to the small output and transportation difficulties, it finally gave up.
In the 23rd year of the Republic of China, the Shancheng government established the Oil Exploration Division of Northern Shaanxi Province and purchased a batch of machine tools and materials from abroad. By the time the base was established, there were more than 20 oil wells, and the output was also very small.
At present, in the entire China, what can be called an oil field is Yumen. It was officially explored for exploration in the 28th year of the Republic of China and officially put into production in the 29th year of the Republic of China. The output is not very large.
Chen Mingxiang heard from smugglers that the Yanzhou base can produce several thousand barrels of oil. Calculated at twenty-five pounds per barrel, that is more than twenty tons of crude oil. Due to the backward refining technology, the monthly output of gasoline and diesel is very small.
.
He didn't really value this bit of fuel, but wanted to take this opportunity to cover himself. He had seen with his own eyes how poor the underground party's base areas were.
The daily supplies confiscated by the inspection team have been piled up in two large warehouses. There are all kinds of things. In the name of exchanging some gasoline, no one would dare to say anything.
Especially the automobile transport brigade of Huatong Trading Company, which runs long distances all year round, consumes an astonishing amount of fuel. However, the Military Police Headquarters and the Special Higher Education Course receive dividends. Even if they know that the gasoline comes from the base area, they will turn a blind eye.
One eye.
Gasoline is a strategic material, and the current price is very expensive. It can reach six yuan per imperial gallon. The black market price has reached eight yuan. One gallon is about 4.5 liters. This is not a small expense.
"I reported this matter to my superiors today and will give you an answer tomorrow afternoon. The living standard in the base area is relatively low. Mr. Chen generously donated money. On behalf of the base area, I would like to thank you in advance," Zheng Tonghui said.
Although the output of oil is very low, it is also an important source of revenue for the local government. If Chen Mingxiang can purchase it at a higher price than the market price, that will also be very good news. The fiscal year will be more relaxed at the end of the year.
