Chapter six hundred and fiftieth seventh play residual heat
ntent
After operating in the Shanghai Stock Exchange for several years, Chen Mingxiang also has some experience in dealing with the Japanese and puppets. Japanese invaders and traitors are both virtuous and cannot be defeated with money. As long as you give them enough time,
It is completely possible to weave a network of relationships outside the customs and in North China.
But the problem lies within himself. In order to deal with the Wang Puppet Government, the biggest enemy of the Shancheng Government, it has now taken root in the Shanghai Stock Exchange, and it has taken root very deeply.
The intelligence agency and the secret service have multiple responsibilities, and the city government has three responsibilities. There are still a lot of connections that can be used. The power gradually penetrates into Jinling, Suzhou and Hangzhou, and the business network spreads all over the territory of the Wang Puppet Government, which is called
Hands and eyes reach the sky.
Let's put it this way, even if Chen Mingxiang wants to leave, he can't leave. The Japanese and puppets in Central China will not let him go, so he can only target North China, which is feasible.
"Chen Jun, in view of the urgent need for military supplies in the country, the Xingya Institute's headquarters has approved your application and allowed the Central China Liaison Department of the Xingya Institute to use part of the gold and foreign exchange to operate this matter. As long as the imperial army and military police on the transportation roads,
We must cooperate unconditionally to ensure the safety of material transportation, and I’ll leave it to you to deal with material transactions,” Taiji Ohta said.
There are some things that he cannot tell Chen Mingxiang. The situation of Japan's domestic military supplies production is worse than what he said. Otherwise, the Xingya Institute will not approve the use of gold and foreign exchange to buy supplies.
The attitude of the military bosses is very clear. As long as the strategic materials urgently needed by the army can be obtained, it is worth paying a certain price. Moreover, Xingya Institute has asked businessmen to develop and utilize the occupied areas in Southeast Asia as soon as possible to supply materials to the empire as soon as possible.
.
"Your Excellency, General, thank you for obtaining so many favorable conditions for me. I promise to complete this task for the empire and the Central China Liaison Department of Xingya Yuan, and I will complete it 100%."
"As for the Shanghai branch of the Japanese Textile Industry Association, please ask the general to contact me on my behalf. They have made less money this time and have a prejudice against me. The conversation will inevitably be a little unpleasant."
"I need 10,000 pieces of cotton yarn and 5,000 pieces of leading muslin, which must be completed within two months. Please ask the Liaison Department to settle the payment with the imperial merchants and place the goods in the warehouse at Shiliupu Pier." Chen Mingxiang said.
Ten thousand pieces of cotton yarn is equivalent to 45 million French currency, and five thousand pieces of leading muslin is equivalent to 30 million French currency, which is only a part of the entire indicator. From this, we can also see how amazing the scale of this material transaction is.
"Okay, let me handle this matter. The empire's textile merchants in Shanghai have behaved selfishly in this mission, which makes you laugh. They don't even think about what would happen if the empire and the army did not provide so much.
Resources, can they get so many benefits in China?"
"Now the empire and the army need them to make less money and provide goods in exchange for military supplies for combat. They immediately used their connections at the corporate headquarters to go to Xingya Institute to complain. Even I was sued. What a bastard!
"
"It is said that the Central China Liaison Department does not consider the interests of imperial merchants, affects the operations of textile companies in China, and disrupts the production plan of the textile industry. This will have serious consequences for future military supplies." Taiji Ohta said angrily.
It was precisely because of the resistance of these Japanese businessmen that they angered the bosses of the Koya Academy and the Military Ministry that this transaction plan could be approved smoothly. The Military Ministry and the chaebols used each other, colluded with each other, and contradicted each other. The relationship was very
of complexity.
But the problem is that the military does not have the ability to do business, and most of the resources it obtains need to be converted into war capital by these plutocrats. Therefore, it cannot impose high pressure on businessmen, and the headache will not last for a day or two.
"Your Excellency General, the vast majority of businessmen are short-sighted and only focus on immediate interests. It is normal to worry about a slight loss. This is a sensitive period. Those imperial businessmen feel that they have suffered a loss and will cause trouble even if they have nothing to do.
, we shouldn’t have too much contact.”
"When the mission is over and the work between you and the Greater East Asia Province is completed, I will entertain the general separately and give you some specialties from China as a souvenir. I hope you will show your respect when the time comes." Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.
"It's natural. You have considered it very carefully. You are able to get to where you are now, and you do have excellent ability to do things. Your Huatong Trading Company is also a military enterprise, and the Central China Liaison Department will consider supporting it." Taiji Ohta responded to this.
Very satisfied with the speech.
It’s no wonder he’s dissatisfied!
What Chen Mingxiang meant was that during his tenure as the Central China Liaison Minister of Xingya Yuan, in order to avoid the attention of those businessmen, the "intention" of this mission would not be fulfilled for the time being to avoid any problems.
After the Hung-A-won is cancelled, the affairs will be handed over to the Greater East Asia Province Central China Dispatch Agency, and it will be cashed in when you plan to return to Japan for retirement. This will be beneficial to both parties.
No wonder Chen Mingxiang is highly regarded by the Japanese military station in Shanghai and the Shanghai Special Municipal Government. This is not unreasonable. The way he does things is simply watertight. With such subordinates, it is not the least bit easy for his superiors!
Chen Mingxiang's analysis is correct. Taiji Ohta will soon be transferred to the reserve army. His mentality at this moment has changed a lot compared to before. He has become more rational. His need for economic interests far exceeds his loyalty to the empire.
"Your Excellency General, at the invitation of Colonel Qingqi Qingyin, the staff officer of the North China Command, I will make a trip to North China in the near future and plan to transport the goods there to Central China. But you also understand that the imperial army in each region
, they are relatively strict in managing matters on their own territory, especially the material control agencies." Chen Mingxiang stopped talking about it here.
"I know what you want to say. The military department implements a strategy of supporting war with war. The garrison in each place must find its own way to maintain logistical supplies. This is helpless and inevitable."
"The military does not directly manage economic affairs. You have connections with the military police system, so you will not face too many difficulties. In this way, I would like to say hello to Major General Shiozawa Kiyonori, the director of the North China Liaison Department of the Koya Institute. You will pay a visit when you arrive in Peking.
After seeing him, our relationship is pretty good."
"The material control agencies in North China must be managed by the Liaison Department. With a cargo handling pass issued by him, you don't have to worry about restrictions on commercial activities." Taiji Ohta said with a smile.
"You have said that Xingya Academy will be revoked soon, and the pass from the Liaison Department can only be maintained for a short period of time. It will also be a troublesome thing in the future." Chen Mingxiang said.
"That's not the case. I want to return to Japan to serve as a casualty, and then transfer to the reserve after a short period of transition. Shiozawa Kiyonori is different. After the Kōain is abolished, he will become the empire's minister extraordinary and plenipotentiary in North China, and will actually be responsible for everything.
Administrative affairs are not simply diplomatic." Taiji Ohta said.ntent
