Li Shiqun is simply confused. In the past, he was in Shanghai specializing in dealing with the latent forces of the Military and Central Unification Bureau. He was working for the Japanese invaders and achieved great results. Major Gangcun just couldn't stand him.
As a person, I am very supportive of my work. Why not accept the free gift?
But now, the secret service headquarters has been moved to Hangzhou, and there is only one experimental zone in Shanghai. Chen Mingxiang is still in charge. If he gives gifts to Gangcun Major, he will definitely not accept them!
Moreover, the red envelopes he received as gifts during the holidays were simply appalling compared to Chen Mingxiang's dividends. He had made so much money in the Shanghai market with the help of the Japanese, but he was unwilling to give any benefits to the imperial army.
It doesn't count, it's an insult to the majesty of the imperial army.
Before the plane took off, Shigeru Goshima was saying goodbye to a group of military police officers. Chen Mingxiang coughed lightly, and Kinoshita Eichi walked to the side with him and started smoking and chatting.
"Lieutenant Colonel Shigehei Wakamatsu of the Hangzhou Military Police has already specifically reported this matter to me. Captain Tsukamoto also called me. It is impossible to return this batch of cotton to Li Shiqun. You should let him give up!"
"Kenshirō Shibayama was so angry that he still dared to commit crimes despite knowing that cotton was an important military material for the empire. He was still in the mood to come to the Shanghai market to ask for cotton. I admire him, he is so generous!" Kinoshita Sakae
Shi said with a sneer.
If Kenshiro Shibayama wanted to take action against Li Shiqun, he had to obtain the support of the Military Police Headquarters. Therefore, regarding his matter, the two forces had exchanges. When he heard that Li Shiqun had defied his ban and continued to smuggle cotton to the Kuomintang-controlled area, Shibayama
Of course Kenshiro was furious.
"Your Majesty General, how should I reply to Li Shiqun? He is the provincial chairman of Suzhou Province and the secretary-general of the Qingxiang Committee. He is a powerful and powerful person. I have to rely on him for my industries in Suzhou Province. It is too harsh to refuse."
Chen Mingxiang said.
"You don't have to worry too much about this person. Let me tell you in advance. Kenshiro Shibayama, on behalf of the base camp, has completed discussions with Chairman Wang. The Qingxiang Committee will be abolished soon, and a Qingxiang Affairs Bureau will be established in each prefecture and city.
It will be officially announced on the 10th.”
"Li Shiqun has to accept this situation, and he has to accept it. He knows that the empire needs food and cotton, but he dares to smuggle in large quantities. He should be punished! He'd better obey the instructions honestly and behave positively.
If he dares to be half-hearted in striving to be punished and meritorious service, his end will be tragic!"
"You tell Li Shiqun that because he has made great contributions to the empire in the past, he will not pursue serious problems this time, but this batch of cotton will give him two options. One is to hand it over to the Shanghai branch of the Japan Textile Industry Association for processing.
, will pay him the normal purchase price.”
"The second is to hand over the goods to the gendarmerie headquarters in Shanghai. The imperial army is short of military supplies. I will produce cotton cloth for the textile factory in Suzhou. As for the price, you can discuss it yourself!" Kinoshita Eichi said.
It was obvious that Li Shiqun was given a way. If a businessman from the Shanghai branch of the Japanese Textile Industry Association purchased the cotton, it would cost Li Shiqun 80 yuan in Central Reserve coupons for a load of cotton. He would not feel bad.
die?
Chen Mingxiang was particularly excited about today's conversation. The Qingxiang Committee was to be abolished, which would be equivalent to cutting off one of Li Shiqun's hands. It would be strange if he didn't jump over the wall in a hurry!
The Qingxiang Committee of the Wang Puppet Government actually had relatively loose responsibilities because the puppet governments in various places resisted the Qingxiang Committee from extending its hands to their own territory. For example, the first phase of the Qingxiang Committee in Zhejiang Province was hastily ended due to strong opposition from the provincial government.
, in the second period, Fu Shishuo served as the director of the Qingxiang Committee Office, and the Qingxiang Qinggong in Hecheng progressed smoothly.
But the problem is that Li Shiqun's foundation is in Jiangsu Province, which is his base camp. Closely relying on the wealth plundered from Qingxiang, Jiangsu Province, he can support the secret service headquarters, Qingxiang police force and Qingxiang security force, and even only needs the province
A small portion of the financial allocation.
Once the Qingxiang Committee is abolished, the huge organization will also be abolished. Li Shiqun's pseudo-police and security team of thousands of people can only be managed by the Provincial Qingxiang Affairs Bureau. He has no say in which areas should implement Qingxiang.
More importantly, the Qingxiang Committee was able to receive funds from the Ministry of Finance. Although it was withholding fiscal funds from Jiangsu Province, this was justified.
"I also know that there is very little hope of coming back. Brother Mingxiang, the Japanese businessmen are too dark-hearted. I will pay them compensation, so you should take over. Anyway, your textile factory will still be in operation. Just pay it for 100 yuan."
Pay me for one load!" Li Shiqun said.
"That won't work, let's stick with the original price of 160 yuan. I know the cotton market in Jiangsu Province and the cotton market in Chiang Kai-shek District. I have to give the minister some subsidies for transportation costs. If there is still cotton in the future, you can contact me directly.
, if it were sold to my textile factory, the Japanese would just pretend to be deaf and dumb."
"I closed two textile factories, and both the Expeditionary Forces Headquarters and the Thirteenth Army Headquarters could only acquiesce, but they all understood that Huatong Trading Company would not have much supplies to exchange with Chiang Kai-shek's district, including cotton and cotton yarn.
, is always the main type of transaction.”
"As long as this war continues, the Japanese army will need strategic materials from Chiang Kai-shek's area, and I can only implement the transaction. If even the last textile factory supporting the exchange collapses, this is something the military cannot accept under any circumstances.
"Yes." Chen Mingxiang said.
Concentrating cotton resources in central China and supplying Japanese textile merchants in Shanghai to produce cotton cloth for the munitions department was a decision made by the cabinet and the military department, and the dispatched army headquarters certainly did not dare to openly obstruct it.
However, the army can't carry cotton cloth to fight?
Those planes, warships and artillery all need strategic materials such as bristle tung oil and rosin. It is not too much to keep one of them. Therefore, Kinoshita Sakae City specially greeted Chen Mingxiang and insisted on starting work no matter what, even though water transportation was affected by the war.
, but the land route is still no problem.
"Brother, let me tell you the truth, my situation is getting worse and worse now. Chairman Wang visited Suzhou some time ago and when he summoned me, he told me privately that Japan was very dissatisfied with my work in Suzhou.
Satisfied, I hope that I can take the initiative to give up my position as chairman of Jiangsu Province, and he can arrange for me to serve in other provinces, or to serve as the vice president of the Jinling Executive Yuan, and let me consider it carefully." Li Shiqun said.
"Minister, on the surface, it seems that it is a wise move to step down from the position of Chairman of Jiangsu Province and settle down as the Director of the Secret Service Headquarters, and it can be used to make a deal with Chairman Wang."
"But I'm also a little worried. If there is no Su Province, can the secret service headquarters be able to hold on? Will the opponents of the Jinling government add insult to injury? This is your base camp. If you lose Su Province, you will have no choice but to be slaughtered by others.
