Seven hundred and thirtieth chapters spy shadow seven
The Changlu Salt Field is the most important salt production base in North China. It can produce more than one million tons of raw salt every year, but half or even more of it was transported to Japan by the Japanese army.
Because raw salt can not only produce edible refined salt, it is also a very important industrial raw material, which is of strategic significance to Japan's economic development and military.
The remaining half of 500,000 tons, part of it is to be supplied to the garrison and puppet government in North China, part is to be given to Japanese companies, part is to be transported to central China and outside the customs, and the last part is to supply edible salt to the people in North China, resulting in
Instead, salt-producing areas suffer from a cruel phenomenon of salt shortage.
The Baojia system was implemented in North China. According to the establishment of the Japanese and puppets, every ten households were one Jia, every ten A were one bao, small natural villages became one bao, and large natural villages formed joint guarantees.
Why is the Baojia system mentioned? Because salt, as an important controlled material, implements a rationing system. It is not possible for individuals to buy salt alone. The chief of the Ao Group must come forward to purchase it uniformly.
The method currently implemented is basically based on the standard of one kilogram of salt per person per month. Coarse salt is 131 kilograms of Lian Yin coupons, and refined salt is 251 kilograms of Lian Yin coupons.
Calculated based on one ton and two thousand kilograms, the cost per ton is thirty-seven yuan. One ton of coarse salt can be sold, and the value is two hundred and sixty yuan. Excluding the freight, one ton can earn at least two hundred yuan. According to
Calculating the ration of 300,000 tons, that’s 60 million!
"These imperial material control agencies take their own interests very seriously. In the future, our salt fields may be squeezed out by them. Murano-kun, we must guard against this matter!" Chen Mingxiang said.
He could see that if he worked on a small scale, built a small salt farm in a corner, and collected 20,000 tons of salt a year, the Japanese businessmen might not care, and the reputation of the military police was worth the salt.
But now that he occupies such a large salt field, with an annual output of 60,000 tons, these economic invaders whose interests were affected suddenly became red-eyed. The amount of salt given to Japan every year is set by the Japanese government, and it cannot be even one or two.
Shao, Chen Mingxiang’s behavior is tantamount to grabbing meat from their bowls!
In anger, he actually yelled at Murano Naohiro, the military police commander. If he hadn't moved out of the North China Liaison Department and the Military Police Headquarters of Koyain, the outcome would have been hard to predict.
"Please rest assured, Mr. Chen, anyone who dares to confront the gendarmerie will not end well, even if they are imperial businessmen."
"I will truthfully report their attitude to General Yano. Don't forget that war without the army would not exist. If they dare to harm the interests of the army, they must pay the price!" Naohiro Murano said grimly.
The dignified captain of the Jincheng Gendarmerie and the dignified Gendarmerie Colonel were actually slapped in the face by a group of businessmen in front of Chen Mingxiang. He felt extremely angry in his heart.
It is not that the military police have no means of restricting these salt dealers. They can use military salt to take over any salt from salt farms other than Japan. The Japanese army also often smuggles salt. This is not a secret. On the one hand, it is for
In exchange for strategic materials, on the one hand, it is to raise military expenses.
The funds of the Japanese army are not that abundant, so they print counterfeit banknotes in various places and allocate military expenses to the puppet government. If this is not enough, they often smuggle in scarce supplies for profit.
"I saw Miss Kawashima's sincerity. This information is indeed worth two thousand dollars, which makes me confident in future cooperation." Chen Mingxiang put away the pile of paper and took two thousand dollars for Yoshiko Kawashima.
This was already within the scope of top-secret intelligence. He never expected that Kawashima Yoshiko actually established a file on Kojima Nariko and her subordinates. There were photos and detailed records, and the records were very clear. He could clearly see this female agent.
Action trajectory in China.
"There's nothing surprising about this. Knowing yourself and your enemy will make you win a hundred battles. This is a common sense method. In Jincheng, she is my biggest opponent. How can I fight her if I don't know her background?"
"Mr. Chen, our cooperation will definitely achieve a win-win result. If you have any needs in Beijing and Tianjin, you can entrust me to handle it. I believe you will not be disappointed." Kawashima Yoshiko said with a smile.
I really underestimated this notorious female spy. Although what she did is unforgivable, in terms of professional quality and ability, she is indeed an excellent agent. Success is no fluke!
"We all know that salt is an industry that can make huge profits. Although there are Lianghuai Salt Fields in Central China, that is, North Jiangsu Salt Fields, the output is incomparable with Changlu Salt Fields. Whether it is Central China or North China, all salt fields export a large amount of raw salt.
In Japan, the supply of salt is becoming increasingly tight, so I plan to open up a salt production and sales channel from Changlu Salt Farm to Shanghai."
"With the help of the military police, today I occupied a large area of salt field in Tanggu Salt Field, and this incident also touched the core interests of Japanese salt merchants."
"The core of material control is monopoly. Monopoly can maximize wealth. In the past, only the Japanese had this privilege. Now that I have reached out, I am bound to share some of the benefits." Chen Mingxiang said.
"You plan to ask me to monitor these Japanese salt merchants and contact them from time to time. If there is any adverse news, I will notify you in time?" Kawashima Yoshiko said with a smile.
"Smart people are smart people. I have a lot of business in my hands. I come to Jincheng very few times and it is difficult to grasp the trends here. People in branches and offices want to get information from the Japanese. That's when
It’s difficult for them. After much deliberation, only Miss Kawashima is the most suitable.”
"By doing this for me, in addition to the necessary expenses, you can also get the support of the Jincheng Military Police, which will greatly improve your situation. Even if you meet Kojima Nariko again, she will not be able to suppress you anymore.
"Chen Mingxiang said.
"No problem, I accepted this commission. As expected, Mr. Chen is so popular in the military police system that he can actually intervene in the control of materials in North China. If you want to get such authorization, you must have the approval of the North China Liaison Department of Xingya Institute.
From this, it seems that your relationship with Major General Shiozawa Kiyonori is also extraordinary." Kawashima Yoshiko said.
During her most prosperous period, she did not dare to touch the core interests of Japanese businessmen. She was well aware of the power of Japanese chaebols.
But Chen Mingxiang was able to do it. He directly attacked the Changlu Saltworks and snatched a piece of fat from the Japanese's mouth. It was simply unbelievable.
For such a newly rising force, she is very willing to get closer and cooperate in depth. The more she knows about Chen Mingxiang, the greater her psychological change will be.
A drowning person will not let go even if he grabs a straw, but Chen Mingxiang is a battleship that rides the wind and waves. Judging from his sailing trajectory, it seems that nothing can stop him.
