Chapter Five Hundred and One Risks and Opportunities Six
Zhou Fahai is known as the third-ranking figure in the Jinling government. In terms of actual power, he is much stronger than the second-ranked figure Chen Gongbo. Why is this happening? That is because the vast majority of ministers in the Jinling government and the provincial chairmen of each province are
They were all selected and appointed by him. With this level of support, these people were of course obedient to him, and it goes without saying that they had power.
Wang Jingwei and Chen Gongbo suffered a loss because they did not have many candidates. Those so-called important positions could only be held in the hands of Zhou Fahai. It is not an exaggeration to say that the Jinling government was established by Zhou Fahai.
Su Province is the only one that the Jinling government has completely taken over, and it is also the rich place that Zhou Fahai, the Minister of Finance, relies most on, especially Su Xichang, which is a land of wealth.
Li Shiqun used the help of Mei's agency to drive away the provincial chairman and senior official Wu, which was equivalent to breaking Zhou Fahai's arm. Of course he was very unhappy, and it was normal for him to curse his mother.
"Li Shiqun has served as the provincial chairman of Jiangsu Province. Where is the senior official Wu?" Chen Mingxiang asked with a smile.
"I have become the provincial chairman of Anhui Province. This time Li Shiqun seriously injured Minister Zhou, but his arm cannot twist his thigh. Yingzuo Zhenzhao has spoken, and he has to listen no matter how unwilling he is."
"This Wan Lilang doesn't seem to be popular with you. He made such a big contribution in wiping out the Shanghai District, but only got the district chief of the Hangzhou Experimental Zone. Minister Zhou is very disappointed with this matter. He originally expected him to divide the agents.
As for the headquarters, everyone has been transferred to Hangzhou." Ding Mocun said.
Zhou Fahai had dog-headed strategists like Ding Mocun beside him to make suggestions. Of course, he understood that Li Shiqun's biggest support was the secret service headquarters. Without this secret service agency, Li Shiqun would have died more miserably than anyone else.
Originally, he expected Wan Lilang to make a great contribution and be able to separate Li Shiqun's power in the secret service headquarters. However, he was only given a trivial position. Zhou Fahai was naturally disappointed and was very dissatisfied with Wan Lilang. Why did he have such a bad relationship with the Japanese?
.
"This person has always been self-righteous and very defensive about me. He never told me anything. Just like this time when we were annihilating the first district in Shanghai, it was not until the time of the operation that Li Shiqun told me what was going on. It was simply
That’s unreasonable!”
"Since Wan Lilang doesn't believe me, there's no need for me to go in and embarrass myself! By the way, Su Chengde went to Jinling to serve as the chief of police. Minister, you must be patient. Right now, he is Jinling's police chief.
The government and Japanese celebrities should let him be rampant for a while," Chen Mingxiang said.
"I still have this sense of propriety. Don't worry, brother. Besides, I have no power now. It's not easy to deal with Su Chengde. He holds real power. Although he can't help me, I can't do anything to him.
Sample."
"Don't go out these days. Minister Zhou is going to Shanghai to discuss the cancellation of legal tender with the Central China Liaison Department of the Japan Koya Institute. He also wants to see you by the way."
"Li Shiqun's power is growing faster and faster. Even Chairman Wang is dissatisfied. He is just a spy chief, but he has become the dignified provincial chairman. Doesn't this make the Jinling government look embarrassed?" Ding Mocun said.
The China Reserve Bonds issued by the Ministry of Finance of the Jinling Government and the China Reserve Bank are currently circulating in the market together with legal tender, and the currency value is one to one. However, merchants and ordinary people in the Shanghai stock market still recognize legal tender and not China Reserve Bonds.
As the Japanese army occupied the concession, the banks of the United Kingdom, the United States and the Netherlands were liquidated, and the four major banks in the mountain city were sealed. The basis for the circulation of legal currency was gone. Wang eizhengfu naturally took the opportunity to seize the financial and currency market.
"When will this policy be implemented? I have to exchange the legal currency into China Reserve Bonds to use, otherwise it will be lost in my hands." Chen Mingxiang said.
"Don't worry, I heard from Minister Zhou that it will take a lot of time to negotiate with the Japanese army around May or June next year. He also wants to reduce some losses for the people. It is said that the Japanese have proposed to exchange fifty yuan for one yuan.
Minister Zhou insists on a one-to-one exchange for China Reserve Bonds."
"According to the Japanese exchange method, more than half of the businesses and people in the entire Jinling government area will go bankrupt. This will seriously affect the operation of the government. Chairman Wang also believes that it cannot be done so excessively. The current government of Jinling government is unstable.
, what we should do is win the hearts and minds of the people."
"When I go to Shanghai this time, Minister Zhou will have to talk to Chen Gongbo. No matter what, we must withstand the pressure from Japan, otherwise it will become a mess that no one can put an end to," Ding Mocun said.
This is not because Zhou Fahai has any compassion, but because as the Minister of Finance, he has to consider Wang Gan. After all, he is the leader of this gang. If he wants to maintain his rule for a longer time, he cannot listen to the Japanese on everything.
Chen Mingxiang also knew why the Japanese tried so hard to lower the value of their legal currency. The recovered legal currency could be used by the Japanese army to trade with the Kuomintang-controlled areas of the Shancheng government. In other words, they used the three provinces of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui, Jinling, and Shanghai.
To make up for his own military needs with his wealth, his intentions are not evil.
Just one Shanghai stock market can generate huge wealth of more than 2 billion legal currency in cash. How many things can be bought with this money, and how big is the loss to the Kuomintang-controlled areas?
In fact, Chen Mingxiang didn't care about the exchange of legal currency for central bank bonds. According to Zhou Fahai's attitude towards him, he said nothing more than one to one. He was in such an important position, there was no loss at all, and he could still get some benefits.
Of course, it was not just Zhou Fahai who complained. Chen Gongbo was also as unhappy as if he had eaten a fly. He was very disgusted with the secret service and believed that it would damage the "image" of the Jinling government. Therefore, he always refused to give information to the secret service headquarters.
Good look.
"This Li Shiqun really doesn't know how high the sky is. He is just a spy leader. He didn't give up even if he could get the position of the Qingxiang Committee. He actually took advantage of General Ying Zuo's relationship to become the provincial chairman of Su Province. He and the secret service headquarters have become
The cancer of the Jinling government will lead to bad things sooner or later!" Chen Gongbo said angrily to Chen Mingxiang.
It's not that Chen Mingxiang came to listen to Chen Gongbo's useless nonsense, but that he came specifically to give away houses and grabbed so many properties in the public concession!
It is definitely unrealistic to live by oneself, and these are the most luxurious garden houses in the public concession. It is not a problem to leave them idle. It is inevitable that some people will gossip.
Therefore, he gave Chen Gongbo the keys to four houses. Chen Gongbo wanted one set for himself. He also had a wife and children. Each of the three "qgren" had one set, and it also came with a car. This gift was not ungenerous.
If you want Chen Mingxiang to send gifts, there are not many qualified people in Shanghai. Senior generals and mid-level officers in the Japanese army do not need real estate, and there are plenty of houses. Only Wang eizhengfu's dignitaries are interested in real estate in the public concession.
If you are interested, the first one is Chen Gongbo. Friends who read books, you can search for "" and you will find this site as soon as possible.
