"Minister, from the areas controlled by the Japanese and puppets to the Kuomintang-controlled areas and then to our base areas, there are dozens of checkpoints along the way. This company has a very strong background. If we can borrow its strength, the shortage of supplies can be slightly solved.
Part of it." said a comrade from the logistics department.
Due to the strict blockade by the mountain city government, the economic development of the base area has been greatly hindered. Food is currently not self-sufficient. There is a lack of cloth for clothes, bedding and shoes, and even salt has become a scarce commodity. This situation has a great impact on logistics.
The comrades in the department are extremely anxious.
Comrades working underground in the enemy-occupied areas also tried their best to obtain some supplies, but due to the blockade, they could not be sent to the base area. There was currently a lack of a transportation method, and this transaction between Huatong Trading Company and the base area seemed to have made things a little better.
of turning point.
"I have also thought of this method, but it is a bit difficult. These ten tons of gasoline are already the output of the refinery for more than half a year. The next time I want to trade, it will probably take another half a year."
"We don't have any valuable goods here, and people may not be interested in souvenirs. Just for such a long distance, the fuel consumption is staggering. This requires a high profit." The minister shook his head and said.
The convoy had three empty cars. Sun Dingzhong originally wanted to buy some souvenirs to go back to Shanghai, but he couldn't find them after searching around. In the end, the logistics department gave them some millet and buckwheat.
In fact, using gasoline to exchange military supplies for the northern Jiangsu base area is a military secret, and the scope of the insider is very small. Lu Kunyu's identity is also confidential.
The logistics department of the base area thought that the gasoline was used to exchange for daily necessities, so part of it was directly allocated to the northern Jiangsu base area, and part of it was transported to Yanzhou.
It was not until the 31st year of the Republic of China that the living conditions in the Yanzhou base area were improved due to the focus on production. At this time, life was indeed very difficult.
"Stationmaster, Director Pan from the bureau headquarters sent a secret message, saying that the goods transaction went smoothly and the convoy has returned to Shanghai. In addition, as per your request, the bureau headquarters sent a shipment of specialties from the southwest region. It will arrive on the 27th of the twelfth lunar month.
Pier." Wang Zhen said.
Chen Mingxiang nodded. He could imagine that Lu Kunyu must be very happy when he received his things. Unfortunately, he could not go to the base to see her.
As for the special products sent by the bureau headquarters, they are nothing more than local Sichuan Province bamboo leaf green tea, Shu embroidery, Shu brocade, bacon, Wuliangye and porcelain bamboo weaving.
Chen Mingxiang pays great attention to details, and his impressions are accumulated slowly. During the holidays, he will definitely give "welfare" to the Military Police Headquarters, May Agency, Marine Corps Headquarters and other Japanese military departments. Sometimes this value is not
A very high gift, but it can produce unexpected results.
"It's not easy to work in occupied areas and be on guard. Your life is in danger at any time. It's our traditional festival. Let everyone have a good rest for two days. On behalf of me, you will give two hundred yuan to each member as Spring Festival condolences.
Buy some New Year’s goods yourself.”
"Tell the brothers in the action team to pay attention to their words and deeds. If you want to drink or eat meat, just order it from the restaurant and I will reimburse everyone. Don't eat or drink in public places," Chen Mingxiang said.
Strict self-discipline is the code of conduct for agents. A small mistake may lead to catastrophic consequences. There is no room for luck in this environment.
"The action team has made preparations, figured out Ji Xiangqing's life patterns, and specially selected New Year's Eve to take action to give Wang n a New Year gift," Wang Zhen said.
According to the thinking of her and the action team, since the direct-affiliated station wanted to get off to a good start, it would be better to make it bigger. The same assassination operation would have very different effects in different time periods.
The Spring Festival rings the death knell for traitors. This is the best choice to remind the people of Shanghai that the battle of the Shancheng government has never stopped. It also reminds those traitor lackeys that the Shancheng government has not forgotten their crimes.
"I understand the thinking of the action team, but have you ever considered that Ji Xiangqing lives in the concession. During the Spring Festival, people come and go so lively, and the nightlife even lasts until dawn. In order to avoid exposing your whereabouts, we should wait until after the New Year.
!”
"Whoever kills people at this time and makes people in the concession panic, the Police Department of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau will think who is provoking. Don't look down on those patrol houses of Western powers. They are very capable in the concession. This will bring great consequences to the directly affiliated stations.
Big hidden danger." Chen Mingxiang said.
The Spring Festival is a traditional Chinese festival, and foreigners in the concession have gradually become accustomed to this joyful atmosphere after living in the concession for a long time. They definitely don’t want to suddenly hear about a murder case during the festival. Besides, murder is not bad.
These two days.
The Concession Industry Bureau Police Department has 14 patrol houses under its jurisdiction, with a total staff strength of nearly 5,000 people. This does not include the French Concession, and there is no shortage of capable agents.
Chen Mingxiang knew that underestimating others was digging a hole for himself. It really made the police department anxious, and it was not impossible to find clues.
What the direct-affiliated station wants is a good start, but in the end it ends up being a failure. That would be very bad.
"It's the webmaster who sees the problem as far-reaching. We only pursue the greatest shock effect, but fail to pay attention to the reaction of the concession. Our vision is indeed too short-sighted."
"I will convey your order to the action team immediately and take action after the festival. But for people who don't know the truth, they may think that the assassination of Ji Xiangqing was done by Shanghai District 1." Wang Zhen said with admiration.
Ji Xiangqing was a high-ranking official of Wang N, and of course he was also a traitor. If he was killed, everyone would know that it was the military commander's fault. The central commander was not good at such actions, and the underground party did not have much of a presence in Shanghai.
Japan is a member of the Axis Powers, and the majority of the countries behind the concession are members of the Allied Powers, especially the United Kingdom and the United States. Under such an environment, of course they have no good impressions of the Japanese and puppet parties.
In normal times, the patrol room responsible for security patrols in the area would just pretend to investigate. The military commander and the Japanese and puppet intelligence agencies were fighting, and the person who died was a traitor. What does the patrol room have to do with it?
But if a murder occurs during a festival, the senior management of the concession may think that the military commander deliberately chose this time to take action without caring about the face of the concession!
These countries have always been overbearing in China. This has become a habit. They are suddenly slapped in the face. In order to protect their own face, they may put pressure on the police department and force the patrol room to solve the case.
The concession is the last place to hide. Once the concession police department is mobilized, such resources are extremely terrifying.
Not only are the directly-affiliated stations in danger at all times, but the movement in Shanghai District 1 is also subject to great restrictions. It's okay once or twice, but what about long-term operations?
Also, if the British and American countries influence the Shancheng government, even the Military Control Bureau will be very passive. The reward for eradicating the traitors may not be a reward, but the anger of Boss Dai. When killing is not acceptable, it must be during the Spring Festival!
