Chapter 405 Looking for an opportunity to send favors
"Brother, stop joking. Now even the big guys in the Jinling government know that you are the leader of the smuggling business in Shanghai. Why do you care about the salary of the director of the inspection office?"
"At the end of July, Yingzuo Zhenzhao will propose this suggestion to Chairman Wang. With the support of Minister Zhou, Chen Gongbo is also very disgusted with the secret service headquarters. Chairman Wang will not refuse. A meeting will be held on August 1st to vote on the matter."
"According to Zhou Fahai's intention, I will also serve as the Minister of Transportation. It was also confirmed during the meeting. Based on this, Zhou Fahai does not dare to kill Li Shiqun for the time being. I want to take up an important position, but it will not be possible in a short time." Ding Mo.
Murakami said with a somewhat bitter tone.
The Ministry of Transportation of Wang Puppet Government, like the Ministry of Social Affairs, is also a department with little real power. The traitors are busy fighting for power and profit, and have no intention of building roads and water transportation in the territory. All the benefits generated by the existing conditions are controlled by Japan.
in human hands.
From this point of view, Ding Mocun is still excluded from the core layer of Wang's puppet government. The position of Minister of Transportation has not changed his status and situation in any way. Chen Mingxiang has to wait slowly if he wants to get rewards.
opportunity.
"This also proves that Zhou Fahai's attitude towards the minister has improved and he is slowly paving the way for you. The more times like this, the less anxious you can be. You must visit more often to get closer to Zhou Fahai. I will bear the gifts and expenses.
"
"It's hard to tell what Zhou Fahai will think if he shows a hint of impatience. This person's suspicion is no worse than that of Li Shiqun. Don't let all your efforts go to waste," Chen Mingxiang said.
It turns out that Zhou Faohai had a very good relationship with Li Shiqun. Not only did he support him in becoming the director of the Secret Service Headquarters, but he also gave him the post of Minister of Police and even offered him a job.
But as Li Shiqun's desire for power became stronger and stronger, he first slapped Zhou Fahai in the matter of the Minister of Police, and then stepped on Zhou Fahai in the matter of the Secretary-General of the Qingxiang Committee. Only then did Ding Mocun
Found an opportunity.
"My brother is right. I am indeed a little impatient, but you also know that I don't want Li Shiqun to die all the time. If it weren't for him, my brother's murderer Su Chengde would have been eliminated long ago!" Ding Mocun said through gritted teeth.
.
Li Shiqun and Ding Mocun were originally superiors and subordinates of the Central Bureau of Statistics, and they got along well at first. However, as they competed for the position of Director of the Secret Service Headquarters, they developed conflicts that were difficult to reconcile.
The most important thing is that Dingmo Village's younger brother was killed and Li Shiqun protected Su Chengde. The conflict between the two turned into hatred. They knew that this was a never-ending situation.
Although Li Shiqun is now in a high and powerful position, Ding Mo Village lives in Jinling and is a member of the Central Standing Committee of Wang Puppet Government. He is beyond his reach to deal with Ding Mo Village.
In the same way, Ding Mo Village has no power and power, and it is very difficult to take revenge on Li Shiqun. Without special opportunities, he can only stare at it.
In general, Li Shiqun still has the absolute upper hand. With the support of the Mei Agency behind him, he is rising step by step. If he wants to deal with this kind of person, the only thing Dingmo Village can do is to stabilize himself and operate patiently.
"Some time ago, I was given a position in the Qingxiang Committee. I am the economic specialist of the Suzhou office and the director of the material blockade management department. This is also a double salary, which shows that he wants to win over me."
"Even though the May Agency promised to abolish the Ministry of Police, the trust in Li Shiqun has not been weakened. His power is increasing day by day. I hope to use this news as a bargaining chip to gain trust. You and Minister Zhou should tell it." Chen Mingxiang said.
Li Shiqun takes his reputation very seriously. Although the Minister of Police does not have much power, his position is prestigious. In the eyes of ordinary people, a heavyweight at the ministerial level is more important than the Secretary-General of the Qingxiang Committee or the Director of the Secret Service Headquarters.
It has gold content.
The abolishment of the Police Department is a big deal and has special meaning to him. He will definitely be very grateful to anyone who gives him this information.
"You are right. Zhou Fahai also judged this. The most troublesome obstacle is the Mei Agency. With the support of the Japanese, it will not be possible to overthrow Li Shiqun in a year and a half."
"The decision to cancel the Ministry of Police was the result of secret talks between him and Yingzuo Zhenzhao. Even Lieutenant Colonel Qingqi didn't get the news, but Chen Gongbo was the insider and the facilitator."
"Minister Zhou instructed you to use this relationship as a cover and tell Li Shiqun at the end of the month, and he will definitely get something in return," Ding Mocun said.
Letting those who follow you benefit is a way for superiors to control their subordinates. If Zhou Fahai wants to pull Chen Mingxiang into his camp, use him to deal with Li Shiqun, and become the eyes and ears of the city government, he must provide certain resources.
A piece of news that cannot be changed is indifferent to Zhou Fahai, but it is impossible for people who are not close relatives to know in advance. If Chen Mingxiang uses it well, its value is immeasurable.
"The Japanese are about to implement the strategy of marching south. They are currently preparing for war, and Southeast Asia is the territory of the British and American countries. This will inevitably cause a counterattack from the other side, and it is likely to affect the Shanghai stock market. I guess that the circulation of legal tender will be banned soon.
It’s not far away,” Chen Mingxiang said.
"Zhou Fahai also knew the news. Yingzuo Zhenzhao revealed that the southward strategy had been approved at the imperial meeting on July 2. To this end, the Japanese army was preparing to enter the southern part of French Indochina later this month to test the British and American countries.
Reaction."
"As for replacing legal tender with China Reserve Bonds, it is too early. According to the May agency, the diplomatic negotiations between Japan and the United States have not ended, and the military is not ready. A long transition period is needed."
"There is no doubt about the strength of the United States, but there are still great doubts at the top level. If cooperation can be reached through negotiations, the U.S. government recognizes the Manchukuo and Jinling governments, and continues to maintain oil and steel trade, there will be no need to launch this war.
"
"Because of this incident, the military and the government are having a huge quarrel, and the Navy headquarters is not unanimous in its opinions. In addition, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Japanese government has its own views. It believes that it is better to go south than to go north. As for when the war will start, there is no final decision in a short time.
." Ding Mocun said.
Although Japan is rife with violence, some people at the top are unwilling to go to war with the United States and hope to give up certain interests in exchange for the U.S. government's indulgence in Japan's invasion of China.
It’s not that they don’t want to expand their territory and plunder resources, but they make a calculation from a strategic perspective. After all, the population and economy of Japan and the United States are too different. No matter how crazy Japan is, they dare not say that they want to destroy the United States.
Moreover, with the current situation, Japan's resources are too consumed in the war with China, and its strategic material reserves are seriously insufficient. It cannot fight on both fronts with China and the United States. It is already considered the best to be able to maintain the current "results" in China.
