The big bosses of the mountain city government, even the old man, said that they were always embarrassed when it came to matters involving the British and American countries, and would often make compromises. Boss Dai saw this situation clearly and tried every means to reconcile it.
The British and American countries have drawn closer together.
The current incarceration of foreign nationals is the most important matter for the British and American embassies in Shancheng. With a relatively satisfactory result, Boss Dai will definitely be very happy. Pan Qiwu will also have the capital to deepen relations with the United States in the future.
"Okay, after all, you are my favorite disciple. I know that for the sake of my teacher, I must accept this gift. In fact, you don't need to care too much. This incident also shows that Boss Dai values you and cultivates you, and your relationship with the intelligence department
It’s extremely complicated, and none of it is fuel-efficient.”
"Boss Dai made this arrangement just as a reminder to you. However, the treatment in other divisions and provincial stations is far different. They all have the eyes and ears of the bureau headquarters. As the situation changes, such monitoring measures will become more and more important.
The stricter it is.”
"The Military Command Bureau has established a strong position in the mountain city government. Not only is the old man suspicious of Boss Dai, but the Cantonese and Hunan cliques also take advantage of the opportunity to fish in troubled waters and try their best to develop their own strength. Boss Dai is also having a hard time!" Pan Qiwu said.
Chen Mingxiang suddenly frowned. The special rights and status of the Military Command Bureau came from the trust of the old man in the mountain city government. However, in the process of expanding its territory and increasing its strength, it did offend many powerful forces in both the military and political circles.
Not to mention the apparent enemy of the Central Bureau of Statistics, a core figure like Minister Kong, who held a high position and had a special relationship with the old man, but his prospective son-in-law was arrested by the Military Bureau, and was eventually tortured.
Got the gun.
Although this decision was made by the old man himself, Boss Dai did not have any good effect. This is also a fact. It is strange that Minister Kong does not hate the military command bureau to death!
"What the teacher means is that the old man is now tacitly allowing the Hunan and Cantonese people to fight for power and weaken Boss Dai's strength? Then aren't we in danger?" Chen Mingxiang said.
"As far as the current situation is concerned, it is not dangerous. At most, it is a means of restraint. You must understand that intelligence agencies are an important force and means to ensure the rule of the mountain city government. This is its own value."
"In addition to eradicating traitors for the country, collecting intelligence for the army, and fighting against the Japanese and puppets, the Military Command Bureau is also responsible for handling some other matters privately for the commission. Often in such operations, the bunch of rubbish from the Central Command Bureau are
It can’t be done.”
"Boss Dai is very loyal to the committee. The key is that he not only completes the tasks assigned to him every time, but also grasps the proportion very well. This is the most important thing. The committee cannot do without Boss Dai now simply because the Military Command Bureau is too powerful.
I just want to suppress it."
"As for the Hunan and Cantonese cliques, if they don't win the war of resistance, you won't be able to compete with them. But you have to be mentally prepared. If you want to get involved in the Military Command Bureau, you have to recognize Boss Dai and you must not have any second thoughts." Pan Qiwu
Explain in a solemn tone.
"Teacher, what you said is a bit exaggerated. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, I am still debating whether I can sit in the post of webmaster. In an international metropolis like Shanghai, there are many people who want to compete for positions. Even if I am still standing
Sir, how can people take a little person like me seriously?" Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.
He has always felt that he is far away from the high-level struggle in the bureau. In this seniority-based environment, he is very satisfied to be able to stay in Shanghai and serve as the deputy webmaster. As for being roped in, he really never thought that it would be that bad.
one day.
"Now, because the station directly under the Military Control Bureau is top secret, the two factions do not know the inside story. You have been on the front line for a long time and have no access to this level. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, you will definitely be attracted based on your qualifications and identity.
of."
"You can clearly see that the Shanghai Stock Exchange has a special status. It is indeed difficult to get the chair of the webmaster, but don't be discouraged. It is not without hope. Now I will tell you two other things. This is also my
The important purpose of coming to Shanghai." Pan Qiwu said.
First of all, the Ministry of Finance will establish a freight administration bureau in April. Boss Dai will serve as the director. His function will be to snatch supplies from occupied areas. The Shanghai Stock Exchange will definitely be the top priority.
Secondly, the counterfeit China Reserve Banknotes printed from the United States will soon be shipped to the mountain city. These counterfeit banknotes are called special coupons and are all handed over to the Military Command Bureau for use.
These two things are actually the same thing. The first special coupon is used to destroy the currency value of China Reserve Bonds and United Bank Bonds, destroy the enemy's financial market, cause currency devaluation, and attack the economic strength of the Japanese puppets.
The second is to snap up supplies in occupied areas and alleviate the plight of Kuomintang-controlled areas. This is the main task of the Freight Management Bureau of the Ministry of Finance.
The third is to bribe and instigate the puppet troops to rebel in occupied areas, and secretly manipulate the puppet troops to deal with the underground party troops, and even pay military salaries to some cooperative puppet troops.
The fourth is to fund guerrillas in various places to strengthen the military struggle against the Japanese and puppets. At the same time, it will also be used as funds to develop spy work in occupied areas and relieve the financial pressure on the Military Command Bureau.
The plan of the bureau headquarters is to set up a store at the junction of the Kuomintang-controlled area and the occupied area, set up a store directly in the occupied area, and use special coupons to pay for the purchase of supplies.
The guerrillas of Zhongyijiu and provincial stations in various places sent team members and military agents to use special coupons to purchase supplies. They also used the puppet troops under their control to purchase supplies secretly using special coupons.
"That is to say, in addition to the Anti-Smuggling Administration of the Ministry of Finance, our Military Command Bureau has another financial source like the Freight Administration Bureau. It transports the exchanged materials back to the Kuomintang-controlled areas for sale. In the future, the funds will be much more abundant. This also shows that the Military Command Bureau
Its value is irreplaceable." Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.
The funds of the Military Command Bureau are not enough. This is the actual situation. There are too many members, and the families of the agents have to be taken care of. If it were not supported by the monthly payment from Huatong Trading Company, I am afraid it would not be able to move forward long ago!
The so-called special coupons are definitely a big deal. The cost of printing is low. Compared with the purchased materials, they are a huge profit. In this way, the Military Command can get rid of the burden and better fight against the Japanese and puppets.
"Don't be too happy first. Before coming, Boss Dai has already given me the details. He may not be able to stay in this position of the Anti-Smuggling Agency of the Ministry of Finance for too long."
"On the one hand, because of Lin Shiliang's case, Minister Kong's family hated Boss Dai so much that they kept saying bad things in front of the committee members. They are relatives and have a closer relationship than Boss Dai."
"On the other hand, the Anti-Smuggling Agency of the Ministry of Finance is rich in money. Minister Kong and other forces have long wanted to seize it as a source of income. I am afraid that the committee will not be able to hold on for long." Pan Qiwu said.
"These royal relatives are really a bunch of typical rubbish worms. At a time like this, they are still thinking about making money for the country. If the committee members remove Boss Dai from his post for the sake of family ties, it would be a lack of distinction between public and private affairs, and it would be stupid and unethical.
If you put family interests above the national interests, you will taste the bitter consequences sooner or later!" Chen Mingxiang said angrily.
