In a room in Villa Mara, there are a large number of photos on the table, as well as a tracking record. This is the surveillance results of the Intelligence Section and Operations Section so far. The photos have date numbers on them, which correspond to the tracking records.
You will know the situation immediately.
"I have carefully checked that during the time Kitazawa came to Shanghai, the whereabouts of three men and one woman were very suspicious. When they met Kitazawa, they were carefully disguised so that they could not see their true colors. One of them was a man.
One woman was also proficient in anti-tracking skills, escaped our sight, and did not lock her exact address."
"The concealed identities of these two men in the Shanghai Stock Exchange have been identified. One is a postman in the French Concession, and the other is a shop owner selling paper and ink in the Public Concession. After three days of continuous surveillance day and night, no unusual behavior was found.
, but since meeting Kitazawa Ping is the best proof, they must be Japanese intelligence agents."
"The records of the Intelligence Department show that both of them have obvious northern accents. They don't speak the Shanghai dialect fluently, but they can understand it. This also proves that they are definitely not hiding in the Shanghai market recently. They may
It took a few years," Wang Zhen said.
"Then let them be listed as daily observation objects, and let the Intelligence Section and Operations Section continue fishing. I am actually interested in the two lost targets. When the forty-five graduates sent by the bureau headquarters arrive in Shanghai, this is
It’s a great opportunity for practical training. They need to practice the skills they have learned and integrate into the team as soon as possible.”
"It will be the veteran team members who will follow Bei Zeping, and the newbies will be responsible for stationing and searching. You assign these people to the Intelligence Section and the Operations Section, and leave five people as liaison officers. An Ran will be in charge. As long as you keep an eye on Bei Zeping, Big Fish
It will happen sooner or later," Chen Mingxiang said.
Horiuchi was very trustworthy when doing things in the city. Negotiations between Huazhong Salt Co., Ltd. and Huazhong Salt Company suddenly announced a suspension. The Consulate General in Shanghai lodged a protest with Jinling Government Finance Minister Zhou Hai through the "embassy" in Jinling.
It is believed that the Huazhong Salt Company privately intervened in the salt sales market in advance without an agreement between the two parties, causing salt prices in various places to rise and salt merchants in various places to stock up, causing great hidden dangers to the social order in Central China.
When there is a shortage of salt in the market, people may take risky actions for their own survival. This threat will lead to instability in various parts of the Jinling government and damage the interests of the empire and the image of the imperial army. For this reason
, the negotiations must be temporarily suspended and the negotiations will be resumed when the situation recovers.
"Hong Fei, you have also seen the protest letter from the Japanese Consulate General in Shanghai. During the negotiations, you took such actions, which just gave the Japanese an excuse to delay the exchange of the salt sales rights of the Lianghuai Salt Farm. You have always been very prudent in doing things.
Yeah, why did you become so impatient all of a sudden?"
"If Huazhong Salt Company can't get the right to sell salt, what's the use of doing more? You don't need to explain to me. I know your relationship with those old salt merchants very clearly, but the priority of this work, you just
Haven't you weighed it?" Zhou Hai summoned Li Hongfei very displeased and spoke very sternly.
The soon-to-be-established Huazhong Salt Company was also hit hard by the Japanese decision. They must have done this to reduce investment in the market and raise prices. They originally wanted to use such means to force Haiyuan Salt
Industrial companies withdraw from the market.
Huazhong Salt Co., Ltd. authorizes Haiyuan Salt Company to transport salt to salt merchants in various places. Most of the salt market in central China is controlled by Chen Mingxiang. If something like this happens, it is Haiyuan Salt Company that should be held accountable.
.
Unexpectedly, the Japanese side was angered by this situation and directly interrupted the negotiations between the two parties and ordered the Ministry of Finance of the Jinling Government to control the shareholders of Huazhong Salt Company. Needless to say, Chen Mingxiang must be behind this.
"Minister, our Huazhong Salt Company has not been established yet, nor has it taken over the salt from the Lianghuai Salt Fields. If Japan wants to find one, it should look for Haiyuan Salt Company. They are responsible for delivering goods to various places. The supply of goods is not available. The salt market
There will definitely be a shortage and the price will rise accordingly. This is a normal rule." Of course Li Hongfei couldn't admit it.
"I chose you to be the chairman of Huazhong Salt Company in order to increase revenue for the Jinling government and firmly control the salt tax. I did not ask you to fight with Chen Mingxiang. I remind you that the business scope of Haiyuan Salt Company is
, cannot be changed, you have no idea how deep the water behind you is!"
"He actually only occupies a small part of Chen Mingxiang's company. Most of the interests are in the gendarmerie headquarters in Shanghai, the consulate general in Shanghai and the garrison headquarters. Even within the Mei agency, some senior officials enjoy the benefits he brings.
Welfare, you have to pick up the soft persimmons, why should I teach you this?"
"I know that the area occupied by Chen Mingxiang is the richest place in our Jinling government. The price of salt will be higher. But if you want to make money with salt, you rely on quantity. From now on, you will each operate your own territory and don't mess with anyone.
who."
"I don't want something like this to happen again, which will affect the Ministry of Finance's recovery of salt taxes. If you can't do it, I will consider changing the chairman of Huazhong Salt Company," Zhou Hai said.
Am I blind? This bastard is really clueless. It was my decision to allocate this territory to Chen Mingxiang. Don’t you understand what this means? What if you hold on to this thing again?
If you don't let things go, if you make Li Shiqun anxious, he will shoot you sooner or later!
But Zhou Hai forgot one thing. The benefits of the monopoly industry are too tempting. To the salt merchants who seek to dominate the salt market, this matter is nothing at all. In the final analysis, even if Li Hongfei wants to stop, the old salt merchants
It is impossible for them to agree, there is no turning back when the bow is fired.
Abandoning Su, Wuchang, Zhenjiang, including Shanghai and Jinling, as well as northern Jiangsu and eastern Zhejiang that Chen Mingxiang is invading, salt merchants will lose half of their income. More importantly, the relationship between Haiyuan Salt Company and the newly emerging salt industry
The merchants formed an alliance, which was a great threat.
At around 10 a.m. on March 31, Chen Mingxiang and Sakae Kinoshita met at Hongqiao Airport at the Hongqiao Airport. Major General Tajima Hikotaro, Chief of Secret Service of the North China Front Army Command, Major General Otonisaburo Yano of the North China Dispatch Military Police Headquarters, and Special Commissioner of the Japanese Consulate General in Peiping
Minister Plenipotentiary Major General Shiozawa Kiyonori.
They were invited by Kinoshita Sakae and Chen Mingxiang and came to Shanghai secretly. The core issue was to discuss the salt issue at Changlu Saltworks.
Since the North China Salt Industry Co., Ltd. wants to make a small move to cut off Chen Mingxiang's share of the Changlu Salt Farm, it directly affects their interests.
Moreover, the chaebols want to go against the military's military police system and the secret service, which is intolerable behavior. In their view, these chaebols have received enough wealth from the military.
