"This Chen Mingxiang is very measured in what he does. He knows what money can be taken and what money cannot be taken. Although his company is a behind-the-scenes operation of the Special High School, it is understandable to take care of his own people. Presumably, when the Special High School receives money, he will not say anything
Nothing else." Li Shiqun said with a slight smile.
After drinking, Zhang Jinlu returned to the secret service headquarters and selectively told Li Shiqun the conversation at the banquet. This was also a test for Chen Mingxiang.
The Southeast Trading Company was established by Li Shiqun to earn funds for the secret service headquarters. The Japanese also gave them great authority. Embargoed materials could be reported to the Mei agency in advance and then transported to the Kuomintang-controlled areas for profit.
But Li Shiqun couldn't withstand Ye Jiqing's pressure. Except for 30% of the profits earned, which were transferred to the special agent headquarters, the rest had to go into his account. Gold dollars were more affordable than the director's position.
Since this company cannot benefit the subordinates at the Secret Service Headquarters, the best way to eliminate everyone's complaints is Chen Mingxiang's Huatong Trading Company.
What Li Shiqun is most satisfied with is that Chen Mingxiang insists that the Japanese share will not waver and that the share given to him will not waver. The rest does not matter.
"Although Chen Mingxiang is young, he is very experienced in doing things. He knows how to survive by sharing the benefits. You will not live long if you eat alone. Unfortunately, Wu Sibao does not have such awareness. The guard earns hundreds of thousands a month, but he refuses to spend it.
When he distributed dividends to his subordinates, he not only ate the meat, but also drank all the soup, leaving only a few bones." Zhang Jinlu said.
"Although Sibao is a bad person, he is also a bit too greedy. After all, he has followed me through life and death and has made many contributions to our secret service headquarters. I won't say anything like this in the future. I will rely on him to charge into battle in the future. I can't let it chill people's hearts.
Li Shiqun shook his head and said.
This is the way those in power think. As long as they can work hard for themselves, other shortcomings can be ignored. What’s more, having shortcomings is a good thing. Such people are easy to control. It’s not a big problem to like money and women. Aren’t all men like this?
"Chen Sang, you have done a very good job in this matter. Although the agents in the secret service headquarters are greedy, the current situation in Shanghai is complicated. The military commander and the central commander are against us everywhere. We need them to clear obstacles for the imperial army. A small amount of smuggling can
I understand." Major Okamura said.
Human nature is inherently greedy. The spies wanted to use Huatong Trading Company for smuggling, which was already expected by the Special High School. Otherwise, it would be weird!
Chen Mingxiang insists that the share of the special high-level courses will not be shaken. This is the most gratifying thing for Major Gangcun. He knows how to do things and be a good person. Who wouldn't like such a subordinate?
"Your Excellency General, are the people at Yanjing Mansion crazy? They actually informed us that starting from February next year, they will reduce the investment in the intelligence agency of the Secret Service Headquarters!"
"Now is the time when the secret service headquarters is expanding on a large scale. If there is no money, how can we deal with the military and central government, and how can we deal with the underground party? Isn't this nonsense?" Lieutenant Commander Qingqi said angrily.
"It's not because our Mei agency secretly supported the Secret Service Headquarters to establish a Southeast Trading Company and use smuggling to exchange materials for profit from the Kuomintang-controlled areas. As a result, the Yanjing Mansion found out about this."
"They did not dare to reduce the expenses of the Mei Agency, but they gave the reason. Since the secret service headquarters has the channels and ability to earn expenses, they will reduce part of the investment. The funds saved can do more things for the empire." Ying Zuo.
There is nothing you can do about it.
The exchange of materials with the Chiang Kai-shek area is definitely not oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, but valuable things such as cotton yarn, cotton, Western medicine, auto parts, etc., in order to exchange for tung oil, wood and other military materials that Japan needs. In other words, it is an act of subsidizing the enemy.
.
Although the intelligence department has the power to make small changes, the nature of the matter is very serious. If the Yanjing Mansion catches the tail, the Mei agency will also have a headache.
"But this matter is still in the preparation stage and has not been implemented. The secret service headquarters has not made a penny. The Yanjing Mansion has stabbed it too hard. It has reduced the price by 30% in one go. This is hindering the work of the intelligence agency and interfering with it.
We should report to the military department immediately about the affairs of the Mei Agency." Qingqi Zhongzuo became anxious.
"It's useless. Yanjing Mansion has the power to issue intelligence funds. This is also to better supervise the operation of the intelligence department. The military department also supports this matter. There will be no second result in our appeal."
"The best way is to set up the Southeast Trading Company as soon as possible and exchange materials with Chiang Kai-shek in advance. This can provide a buffer and not disrupt the order. When Mr. Wang's government is established next year, the Yanjing Mansion will definitely reduce its funding investment.
, this cannot be changed." Ying Zuo said.
The power of the intelligence agencies is great, but they are not all-powerful. The Yanjing Mansion led by the Deputy Consul General of the Japanese Consulate General in Shanghai, Yanjing, happens to be able to restrict the expenses of all intelligence agencies in Shanghai.
Of course, the Mei Agency is an exception. It is the highest agency that controls the Wang Puppet Government. It has special characteristics and is directly related to Japan's layout of China.
Although the Consulate General belongs to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Japan is now dominated by the Military Ministry, and even the Prime Minister of the Cabinet is a soldier. Generally speaking, they are like birds of a feather.
That's why Ying Zuo said that appeals are useless. The military department will not let all activities of the Mei agency go. They must be carried out under supervision. There are bound to be restrictions.
Since Yanjing Mansion has enough reasons, the military bosses will only agree. Isn't it just that the expenses of an intelligence agency of the Wang Puppet Government have been cut, and it is not qualified to rise to the level of the military department.
No one thought that the sanctions imposed by the Yanjing Mansion on the Secret Service Headquarters were actually triggered by a conversation. The key is that the Marine Corps Intelligence Office was behind it, adding fuel to the flames and magnifying small things.
"Chen Sang, your company needs to speed up its operation, expand the categories and scale of its operations, and realize trade docking with the Chiang Kai-shek District as soon as possible. You can boldly go ahead and do it. The Military Police Headquarters and the Super High School are your best
Strong backing." Major Gangcun said to Chen Mingxiang.
"Chief, what happened?" Chen Mingxiang asked in surprise.
"This time the Secret Service Headquarters is in trouble. In order for them to establish the Southeast Trading Company and exchange materials with the Chiang Kai-shek District, the Yanjing Mansion, which is responsible for issuing expenses, has cut their activity funds by 30%, which is 60,000 French currency, which has seriously disrupted
to carry out the work.”
"In order to ensure that the operations of the Secret Service Headquarters are not disrupted in the future, Lieutenant Commander Qingqi secretly instructed me that in addition to the Southeast Trading Company, the Special High School Class can use your company to export more supplies to help the Secret Service Headquarters raise some of its funds."
"During the exchange, we should try to use Japanese civilian supplies and open up smuggling channels to Chiang Kai-shek areas. Those sensitive industrial and military supplies should not be used for profit," said Major Okamura.
