Of course Zhou Fahai knows that the giant Manchuria Railway was founded in the 32nd year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty. Its full name is South Manchuria Railway Co., Ltd. It is a national policy agency of the Japanese government and a colonial agency. Want to watch it for free.

Half of the shares were invested by the Japanese government, and half of the shares came from the royal family, nobles and officials. In the 29th year of the Republic of China, the share capital alone had increased to 1.4 billion yen, which was absolutely a giant.
Manchuria Railway initially focused on railways, coal mines, immigration and other businesses, especially the control of railways. After the September 18th Incident, it gained the right to operate ports, water transportation, coal mines, steel, light industry and chemical industry throughout the three provinces outside the customs.
It is completely monopolized by Manchuria Railway.
This notorious colonial agency provided a large amount of funds, materials and intelligence for all military operations of the Kwantung Army. In particular, the Manchuria Railway Investigation Department was Japan's largest intelligence agency during the war.
The purpose of the Manchuria Railway was to monopolize the economy of the Puppet Manchukuo and become a force on par with the Kwantung Army. However, the Kwantung Army did not think so. The purpose was to form a unified rule with itself as the core.
With the establishment of the puppet Manchukuo, the status of the Kwantung Army increased rapidly. It was necessary to reorganize the Manchurian Railway. Not only must it control its personnel and supervise it, but it must also divide the Manchurian Railway's enterprises and turn them into communists.
Control the economy to serve the needs of the military.
However, this attempt was fiercely opposed by the shareholders of the Manchurian Railway, especially the big forces behind the Manchurian Railway. The Japanese government also clearly opposed it, forcing the Kwantung Army to temporarily give up.
But the Kwantung Army was not so easy to compromise. At the end of the 26th year of the Republic of China, the Kwantung Army colluded with Nissan to establish the Puppet Manchukuo Heavy Industry Development Co., Ltd., called Manchuria for short.
The projects operated by Manchuria include steel, light metals, coal and other heavy industries, as well as military production. The Kwantung Army, in the name of the puppet Manchukuo, forcibly separated these industries from Manchuria. In other words, the current Manchurian Railway cannot
Although it has the same energy and advantages as before, its power is not as strong as before.
Although the Manchuria Railway is a colonial institution, there must be some chaebols behind it. Otherwise, how can so many industries operate? Neither the government nor the military are good at running enterprises. The Manchurian Railway's struggle for economic dominance in the puppet Manchukuo State is also caused by the military.
A battle with the chaebol.
"The best thing about the Puppet Manchukuo is that the military power can completely overwhelm the plutocratic power. This can really be done. Look at our Jinling government, and then look at the Shanghai market. A group of coal businessmen dare to stand up to Xingyayuan and
The garrison does not take the city government seriously, and the garrison headquarters is a bit weak." Zhou Fahai said with a sigh.
The Kwantung Army is indeed very strong. Everything must give priority to the interests of the military. If you don't cooperate with me, I won't give you resources. Anyway, there are people who are willing to cooperate with me. The old plutocrats don't agree, so the new plutocrats come together and take a look.
Who can screw whom?
But the Jinling government in the pass is very difficult to play. The North China Political Affairs Commission in the North China region and the Mongolian Xinjiang United Autonomous Government in the Mongolian Xinjiang region are clearly separatist forces. They rely on the support of the local Japanese army and ignore them at all.
Jinling Government.
The General Headquarters of the Dispatch Army cannot control the North China Front Army Headquarters in North China. There is no problem with the military command authority, but it can only take liberties with local administrative affairs.
Moreover, the Japanese chaebols in the customs have always been relatively tough. They still used the Shanghai stock market as an example. It is clear that the Koya Yuan and the Consulate General of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Shanghai are demanding lower coal prices to safeguard the interests of the Japanese government, but these people just do not bargain.
As usual, the Japanese army was hoarding goods and had no effective measures.
"This is an internal contradiction of the Japanese. The Kwantung Army is the dominant force in Manchukuo, but the dispatched army headquarters does not have this advantage. If we talk about it carefully, we will probably faint from hearing it. The complexity is beyond our imagination."
Chen Mingxiang said.
When Matsui Tataro explained this matter to him, he was also confused and dizzy. He even had to start from the time when the North China Garrison Army was involved. However, this situation was something he was happy to see.
"If you want to use the U.S. dollars and gold of the Central Bank of China, you must seek the advice of the highest adviser. Well, you are in Jinling anyway. Tomorrow you will find General Matsui Tataro and ask him to call Mr. Kimura and tell him about the secrets involved with the Kwantung Army.
Let’s talk about the transaction and it will be easier to operate.”
"I am trying to allocate one million U.S. dollars, but the foreign exchange reserves involved are relatively small. You have to return it. In terms of time, I can extend it to you. You can return 50,000 U.S. dollars in one year and pay it off in 20 years."
"In terms of gold, we are relatively wealthy. There are nearly 50,000 large gold bars with twelve weights. I will try to allocate you 1,000 large bars. The market price is 20,000 China Reserve Bonds. You have to pay me 2,000 China Reserve Bonds."
Voucher.”
"Speaking of which, the Manchukuo Head Office has much more gold and silver reserves than our Central Reserve Bank. You should try your best to coordinate with the Kwantung Army and pay you a batch of US dollars and gold." Zhou Fahai said.
Although he is the third biggest traitor, he has still made some preparations for the issuance of China Reserve Bonds and is unwilling to become a pile of waste paper.
The purpose, of course, is not to sincerely consider the people, but to ensure that the Wang Puppet regime continues for a long time and that his personal status, power and interests are protected.
It will take twenty years to pay off. No one can say how long the Wang Puppet Government can last, but most people still believe that it will not only exist for this period of time, because there is a strong support from Japan behind it.
Is Chen Mingxiang short of gold?
Even if there is a shortage, there is no shortage. There is still a ton of gold buried underground in several houses in Shanghai. One ton is two thousand catties. If it does not follow the old system of sixteen taels, it would still be two thousand gold bars.
!
But the more the merrier, hard currency is always scarce. However, this time Chen Mingxiang mentioned it casually and got an unexpected gain.
"Minister, please allocate some office expenses to the Police Department tomorrow. As a new official, I have to give hope to my subordinates when I take office. You don't know that some people will do something small as soon as I take office."
"Originally, I didn't want to argue with such a villain. I usually stay in Shanghai and can't come to Jinling twice a month. But if someone wants to seize power in front of me, it's intolerable." Chen Mingxiang said.
"The Police Department of the Ministry of Interior is a newly formed department that merged the original Ministry of Police. The position of the director is relatively sensitive, and Chen Qun has always been the concurrent one. After such a long period of time, the main leaders of the Police Department are basically
Chen Qun’s people are also the old supporters of the original reform government.”
"If it hadn't been for the intervention of Mei's agency to arrange for you to come here, Sun Shengmin, the executive deputy director, would have been corrected. For this reason, Chen Qun even greeted me specifically, and I had no objection. This matter is easy to handle.
, I will definitely support you." Zhou Fahai said with a smile.
The dignified third person in the Jinling government, the Minister of Finance who holds the financial power, wants to allocate some funds to the Police Department. It is really easy. He can allocate funds in any name he thinks of. This also represents his support for Chen Mingxiang. You should understand
