Four hundred and thirtieth chapters confusing seven
Lieutenant Commander Qingqi and Li Shiqun were not surprised that Chen Mingxiang was able to obtain information about Shancheng. The big customers of Huatong Trading Company are very powerful in the Kuomintang-controlled area and have very strong relations. If they dare to do such a smuggling business, there is no one behind them.
Supporting your back won't do.
"Two years of strategic bombing have consumed more than 10,000 aerial bombs weighing nearly 3,000 tons. The military has to admit that it has not achieved the expected results. As you said, as the empire's strategy shifts to Southeast Asia, this
This approach will gradually cease."
"This action against Yamashiro is the last cooperation between the Naval Aviation and the Sixth Army Aviation. There will no longer be large-scale cluster bombings in the future. Major General Saburo Toto of the 3rd Flying Regiment will submit a report on the bombing
, it is recommended to completely stop this useless behavior." Lieutenant Colonel Qingqi said.
The strategic bombing strategy adopted by the Japanese military was originally intended to destroy the Yamashiro government's determination to resist, force the other party to sit down for negotiations, and end this increasingly strenuous war as soon as possible.
Who would have known that although the strategic bombing caused heavy economic losses and staggering casualties, it actually stimulated the fighting spirit of the local people and strengthened the mountain city government's belief in persisting in fighting the invaders. It can be said to be counterproductive.
This level of large-scale bombing continued for such a long time, but it did not achieve any obvious results. Even the Japanese military generals came to the conclusion that the bombing was useless.
"In fact, it would be better to stop the bombing as early as possible. After all, the empire's war resources are very precious. The aviation and naval aviation of the Army jointly dispatched hundreds of fighter planes and spent two years and huge manpower and material resources to bomb a city, but they achieved little results.
, this is a serious waste of resources."
"I heard that large-scale bombings mainly target urban areas, but facts have also proved that bombing ordinary people is of no use at all. They have no guns in their hands and no position of power. How can they listen to the government's orders?"
"There is an old saying in China that to capture the thief first, capture the king. The important military agencies and government departments of the mountain city government do not work in the urban area. They are hidden in places that are difficult to find. It is difficult for them to be threatened by heavy bombing. These people are the ones who resist the empire.
the backbone of.”
"As the U.S. government comes to the aid of the Yamashiro government, the relationship between Japan and the U.S. tends to become tense again. The big shots in the Yamashiro government see hope, or the U.S. government and the Yamashiro government have reached some kind of intention, so the bombing will be even more pointless.
Yes." Chen Mingxiang said.
This is the art of speaking. He was taking advantage of the failure of the Japanese strategic bombing to get more information from Lieutenant Commander Haruki.
After all, the secret operation jointly carried out by the Japanese Army's Third Flying Group, the Mei Agency and the Special Section 1 is still a mystery. He estimated that Lieutenant Commander Haruki must know the inside story.
Although these words are not very pleasant and seem to accuse the Japanese army of strategic decision-making errors, from Chen Mingxiang's perspective, these words cannot be regarded as wrong.
He is just a smuggler, and it is very rare for him to express such opinions. At least Lieutenant Commander Qingqi finds these words a bit harsh, but he cannot refute them, because the facts are here!
The Japanese military must have carefully considered the long-term strategic bombing of the mountain city. How could such a large-scale military operation be decided casually?
But the problem is, whatever the winner says is right, and whatever the loser says is wrong, no matter how good the strategy is, if it doesn’t get good results, there is no confidence to make a distinction.
"Chen Jun, I am really impressed by you. You can analyze the problem so deeply and consider it so comprehensively. Even at the top of the Jinling government, there are only a few people who can do this."
"Don't worry, the Imperial Army will not let go so easily. Major General Enteng Saburo of the 3rd Flying Regiment coincides with your idea. With the help of the Mei Agency and the intelligence support provided by Nanzo Yunzi, he formulated a plan
A top-secret plan, now waiting for the most suitable opportunity."
"If this plan is implemented smoothly, I dare say that it will definitely significantly weaken the Yamashiro government's will to resist, and the situation will immediately change, perhaps reversing the current situation." Lieutenant Commander Haruki said.
Originally, as the intelligence chief with the largest sphere of influence of the Wang Puppet Government, he was also a veteran spy. With his professionalism, these words should not be said to outsiders.
However, everyone's relationship has become much closer now. Later, they will have business cooperation and chat in the private room. Chen Mingxiang was holding his breath and couldn't let it out, so he still relaxed a little.
These words were very vague and general, without any time points or important vocabulary. As a "smuggler", Chen Mingxiang didn't mind hearing it. He was not an insider and could not understand the context of the whole thing.
"Brother, I didn't expect you to have such ability. Lieutenant Colonel Qingqi also praised you full of praise. You have made great progress in the past two years!" Li Shiqun said with a smile.
After dinner, Lieutenant Commander Qingqi returned to the Suzhou office, while Li Shiqun and Chen Mingxiang arrived at Li Shiqun's home. It was obvious that they wanted to discuss how to cooperate.
"What I said was an afterthought. Zhuge Liang took it seriously. It was just nonsense. Lieutenant Colonel Qingqi and I are not familiar with each other. We can't find a topic without talking about it." Chen Mingxiang said.
Ye Jiqing always treated Chen Mingxiang well, serving fruits, making tea, and even bringing out imported cigars. She probably also heard from Li Shiqun that the two parties wanted to do some partnership business.
"The Qingxiang Committee does have many convenient conditions in Suzhou. I have discussed with Lieutenant Colonel Qingqi. The three main categories are grain, cotton and tea, and they will be distributed according to the ratio of four to three."
"The Japanese army takes 40% of the confiscated goods collected by the Material Blockade Management Office of the Qingxiang Committee. This must be handed over, and you and I each take 30% of the rest."
"But we can't operate in the name of Southeast Trading Company and Huatong Trading Company. You and I need to re-register a new company as a cover, or even several new companies. Although we have the support of the Meiji agency, we can't do it too obviously.
"
"We know the market situation well, just as my brother said at the beginning, I will take 20% of your dividends, and I will take 20% of your dividends in the clear air. There are so many eyes staring up and down, so we can't do it without taking care of it." Li Shiqun encountered the problem of making money.
It's a very happy thing.
On the surface, Chen Mingxiang took out 40% of his net profit and gave it to Li Shiqun and Lieutenant Colonel Qingqi as dividends, but he did not receive Li Shiqun's dividend. It seemed that he was suffering a loss, but that was not how the accounts were calculated.
Without the support of Meiji, represented by Lieutenant Commander Qingqi, and the cover of Li Shiqun, once this kind of thing is discovered, it will be a big trouble.
Secondly, without such dividends as a link of interest, Chen Mingxiang is not qualified to enter the party. He is eating meat in the pot of Qingxiang Committee. Li Shiqun is right, there are too many people staring at him!
Furthermore, the materials snatched by the Qingxiang Committee cost almost nothing. Li Shiqun also wanted more money, so the price given to him must be very low, which means the profits are also unimaginably rich!
