"Stop, Fengchang Textile Factory is a military-controlled enterprise under the Military Police Headquarters. You can't take away these yarns and cotton without the order of the Military Police Headquarters!" Boss Zhang from Fengchang Textile Factory hurried over.
Of course he was an insider. Chen Mingxiang told him in advance that there would be a dog-eat-dog drama today and he asked him to cooperate.
"The military-controlled enterprise of the Military Police Headquarters? That was in the past. Let me tell you, the Shanghai branch of the Imperial Japan Textile Industry Association has taken over this place from the Military Police Headquarters. You have to stop all work tomorrow. What are you looking at? Hurry up.
Move!" The leading Japanese ronin pointed his gun at Boss Zhang's forehead and said disdainfully.
Within half an hour, two trucks filled with cotton yarn drove out of the factory. Shigeru Goshima calculated the time, reached out for a cigar, and lit one happily.
Ichikawa hurriedly went to a nearby store to make a call. A minute later, six trucks full of military policemen drove out from the gate of the military police headquarters, splitting into three roads and driving rapidly toward three textile factories.
When the third batch of trucks drove out of the factory gate, two trucks from the Military Police Headquarters blocked the door. Well-trained Japanese military police jumped out of the car and guarded the gate first. More than 40 military police officers rushed into the factory area.
"These are all robbers who robbed the military police headquarters of supplies. Beat them hard!" Captain Takashima, the leader of the Huxi military police detachment, pointed at the ronin.
"We were called by the Shanghai branch of the Textile Industry Association to help. If you have any problem, go to them to negotiate!" The leading ronin hurriedly came to distinguish.
"Asshole! You just do whatever they ask you to do. Why are you so obedient? You've already extended your hand, so don't even think about retracting it. Hit him!" Captain Takashima kicked the ronin to the ground.
In an instant, there was a howl of ghosts and wolves in front of the warehouse door. The military police beat and kicked them mercilessly and smashed them with their rifle butts, as if they were treating enemies and anti-Japanese elements.
These rogues only dared to cover their heads and beg for mercy. They didn't even dare to resist. They dared to fight the military police because they didn't want to die quickly enough, right?
Captain Takashima stared with no mercy at all. Before coming, Major General Kinoshita Sakaeichi, commander of the military police, had told them that as long as these ronin were not beaten to death, he could let go of his hands and feet, and they deserved to be maimed!
In the past, the Japanese ronin bullied the people in Shanghai, and the Japanese military police either indulged or protected them. We are all Japanese, so we have to show some mercy. But now the problem is that it has violated our own interests, and the nature has suddenly changed.
Thousands of workers in Fengchang Textile Factory were stunned. They couldn't believe it. What was going on? The Japanese military police were actually beating Japanese ronin?
No one expected that the Marine Corps checkpoint in Hongkou District was doing the same thing at this time, stopping a truck transporting supplies, and was directly charged with robbing the empire's supplies, and the punishment was even harsher than this.
"Asshole, you have the nerve to come to me to complain. I wonder if what you have in your head is bullshit? Why didn't you go to the textile department without permission from the Gendarmerie Headquarters and wait until our Xingya Institute Central China Liaison Department completed negotiations?
The factory robs supplies?”
"Cotton yarn and cotton worth tens of millions were used by the military to exchange strategic materials with Chiang Kai-shek areas. For this matter, General Hata Shunroku of the dispatched army headquarters was furious and directly sent a telegram to the military headquarters, saying
Our Xingya Yuan Central China Liaison Department helps foreign businessmen snatch military supplies!"
"Lieutenant General Sawada Shigeru of the Thirteenth Army Headquarters also questioned the Liaison Department, and General Furukawa Mine of the Navy Fleet Headquarters also called me. You are really a bunch of stupid pigs!" Taiji Ohta said angrily. He slapped Soichiro Ueda several times with his bare hands.
Kinoshita Sakaeichi has always been known for his insidiousness. How could he do things so simply? As soon as the military police left the headquarters, he immediately complained to the Thirteenth Army Headquarters and the Dispatch Army Headquarters.
It was claimed that the Military Police Headquarters had agreed to suspend operations at subordinate military-controlled enterprises to save cotton resources for Japanese textile enterprises, but the other party went further and even robbed the factories of production raw materials.
If Japanese textile companies continue to indulge in this behavior, Huatong Trading Company and smuggling in the Chiang Kai-shek area will inevitably suffer heavy losses, and the acquisition of strategic materials in Central China will not be able to meet the targets.
More importantly, such a thing is a great shame for the imperial army. When did an organization composed of businessmen actually override the garrison and military police headquarters?
Japanese companies in China enjoyed the huge resources snatched for them by the army, and enjoyed the power and convenience granted by the empire. The production costs were very low, but the prices of military supplies for the imperial army were very high. These people's consciences were darkened. Completely disregarding the interests of the empire.
The Kodama Agency of the Navy and the Marine Corps Headquarters are also complaining to the Fleet Headquarters. The Navy has few material procurement agencies. If Huatong Trading Company fails, the future situation will be even more difficult.
"Your Excellency, Minister, those things belong to Chen Mingxiang, not the Military Police Headquarters. How could I have the courage to rob the army's supplies?" Soichiro Ueda felt extremely wronged.
"You still dare to quibble? These three textile factories are all military-controlled enterprises of the Military Police Headquarters. Although the cotton yarn and cotton belong to Chen Mingxiang, they are used to exchange strategic materials for the imperial army, which is equivalent to the resources of the army. Don't you Know?"
"Your reason is that these three textile factories have taken up cotton resources and hindered your production tasks. Everyone has agreed to stop work, so why are you still doing this?"
"There is no problem in purchasing these production raw materials. The Central China Liaison Department of Xingya Institute can discuss with the Military Police Headquarters and sell them to the Textile Trade Association at a fair price. But you actually want to rob them without paying. What a huge amount of money this is. If Huatong Trading Company collapses, can you make up for this share to the army?"
"What's even more outrageous is that you didn't say hello to the Military Police Headquarters in advance, and you didn't explain it clearly to me. Are you tired of being above Koyain and the garrison?" Taiji Ota became even more angry.
"Your Excellency, Minister, the vehicle we sent to the textile factory was seized by the Marine Corps Command and the Military Police Command. The man was beaten to the point of losing his mobility and imprisoned. Please come forward and get the man and the vehicle out." , we are willing to buy those raw materials at a fair price." Soichiro Ueda said.
Suspension is not the purpose. To wipe out these three uncontrollable factories in the Shanghai textile industry is the goal of this operation. If we don't clear out the cotton yarn and cotton, what should we do if we start work again with the protection of the Military Police Headquarters?
This thing is not impossible. The military's protection of shortcomings is nothing new, but it is not easy for the chaebol to use the connections of Xingya Yuan once. It is quite difficult for the big bosses to pay attention to it.
"What are you dreaming about? When things have turned out like this, even the headquarters of Xingya Institute knows about it. You are still thinking about the raw materials for the textile factory. You are lucky enough not to kill your head. There must be a limit to greed."
"I want to warn you, you forced three textile factories to shut down, which has affected the major matters of material exchange. If the military department's mission targets are not met, you can commit suicide yourself!" Taiji Ohta said with a sneer.
