The Japanese aggressors will not really give up the interests they have acquired, and doing so is nothing more than a change in their approach, moving from the front of the stage to behind the scenes, and the essence has not changed at all.

The transfer of the power of material control to the Wang puppet government was to make the Wang puppet government provide a specified amount of resources according to their needs, so as to divert the hatred of the common people towards them, and in fact, the business of Japanese businessmen would not be hindered.

By handing over the administrative power of the concession to Wang's puppet government, the special powers of the Japanese expatriates must certainly be retained, and the so-called revocation of extraterritoriality is nothing more than a blank check and a mere formality.

However, for the puppet Wang puppet government supported by the Japanese invaders, this is what it dreams of, at least with formal autonomy, the interests involved in material control, Wang puppet government has long coveted it, and may think that this is a major victory for saving the country!

"You guessed correctly, Boss Dai called, asking you to continue to listen to the movements of the Japanese puppet side, and find out the relevant details as soon as possible, and said that the government was excited to hear the news, which is the first priority at present." Wang Zhen said with the telegram.

"Originally, I wanted to meddle in the Changlu Salt Farm, but I didn't expect that the Lianghuai Salt Farm now has a chance, and Huazhong Salt Industry Co., Ltd. has agreed to assign the entire Shanghai market except for the salt sales in the Japanese-occupied area to me to operate, this time to Jinling, but also by the way to finalize this piece of power, eat the fat in the mouth, spit it out is not good." Chen Mingxiang said.

On the surface, it seems that the Japanese army sold salt to the Jinling government, but the fact is that the Jinling government must fulfill the raw salt quota set by Japan to meet the salt needs of the Japanese army and the Japanese diaspora.

Because the Wang puppet government has repeatedly fought for the right to sell salt in the Lianghuai Salt Farm, it is also to exploit a piece of the profits of the salt merchants to enrich their own finances, and they are fighting for this salt tax of tens of millions of yuan a year.

As for the Japanese army, they didn't have to do anything, just wait for the salt to be released and receive it according to the specified amount, which saved a lot of trouble.

The salt factory gave the Japanese army its own military salt, but it was not a penny, and the raw salt shipped to Japan, the price of the Lianghuai salt field was 38 yuan a ton, which was the lowest cost, and they only gave 24 yuan a ton, a difference of 14 yuan per ton.

In fact, until the defeat of the war, the raw salt plundered by Japan from the Lianghuai Salt Works and the Changlu Salt Works was paid according to this price, no matter how much the currency of the Wang puppet government was depreciated, it was to give you this price, and you had to sell it, and if you didn't sell it, you had to sell it!

What the Wang puppet government has to do is to pass on this loss to the people, otherwise the salt farm will go bankrupt.

Chen Mingxiang himself certainly can't take care of the whole of Central China, and his salt quota is minimal, but he is responsible for the sale of salt in Shanghai, at least the people here will not be short of salt.

Moreover, the pricing power of salt is in his hands, the price will not rise too fast, and he has to do special things in special periods, and he is helpless against the general environment.

That night, Wang Zhen cooked a few Sichuan dishes that Chen Mingxiang liked to eat, the two heated some rice wine, and chatted until late before resting, he knew that the door diagonally opposite must not be closed, but he just didn't dare to take this step.

It can be seen that Wang Zhen, a girl's heart, has been occupied by herself, and she can't accommodate the space of a second person, Chen Mingxiang also feels a headache about this, how to deal with it?

And Wang Zhen, lying on the bed reading a book, with a sly smile on his face, she guessed that the guy would definitely not dare to push the door in, but with such a breakthrough, maybe the happy time in the future is not far away.

Although Chen Mingxiang made this move today because he was too excited, if he didn't recognize that she liked her, how could he do it?

"Brother Mingxiang's news is really well-informed, I also just found out not long ago, the Japanese government and the military department are also top secrets, the Jinling government knows no more than five people, in the end, they are the big red people in the garrison, they don't hide anything from you!" Zhou Gaohai said with a smile.

Chen Mingxiang arrived in Jinling on a Japanese military transport plane in the afternoon, and he was not picked up, and in the evening, he drove to Zhou Gaohai's house with 2 million Chinese storage coupons, and naturally received an extremely grand reception, and a table of good wine and good food was set, and Dingmo Village also came.

"Minister, this news is really unbelievable, the Japanese really want to return the material control power, including the right to sell salt in the Lianghuai Salt Factory, as well as those military factories, as well as the administrative power of the concessions in various places, to return to our Jinling government for management?" Ding Mocun asked in surprise.

"All of this is true, and in the next year's time, all civilian enterprises in South China, Central China, and North China that have nothing to do with the military will be handed over to their owners, and Japan's national policy enterprises in the Kannai region will also be subject to our supervision and guidance."

"The concessions in various places, including the public concessions in Shanghai and the French concessions, must be exercised by the Jinling government one after another, and the hundred-year concessions will end in our hands, which is a great contribution we have made to the country and the nation, and it will definitely go down in history."

"I have already held two secret talks with Lieutenant General Taikuro Matsui, the top military adviser, and on 20 December, I will accompany President Wang to Japan for formal talks with the Japanese cabinet, and I will also set a time for declaring war on Britain and the United States." Zhou Gaohai said with a smile.

Wang's puppet government wants to declare war on the British and American governments?

Chen Mingxiang thought it was funny, but he also had to admit that this was the best choice for Wang's puppet government, and if it didn't have the support of the Japanese, God knows how long this puppet regime would be able to maintain and advance and retreat together with Japan.

"Minister, I don't know much about military affairs, we have declared war on the British and American governments, do we want to send troops to the South Pacific theater to fight the American army?" Chen Mingxiang asked.

"You are not outsiders, to put it mildly, as far as the Jinling government's patchwork army is concerned, even the army of the Shancheng government does not dare to fight, how can you be qualified to participate in such a battle?"

"The reason why Chairman Wang wants to participate in the war is nothing more than an attitude, the Japanese side is not short of troops, lack of war materials, what we have to do is to provide resources to help Japan solve the logistical support, fighting the war is their own business."

"It is precisely because of the full support of the Japanese government that our Jinling government was able to suppress the North China Provisional Government and the Restoration Provisional Government and become the sole regime in Kannai.

"Since the outbreak of the Pacific War, President Wang has planned to share the same fate with Japan, declare war on Britain and the United States, and express the attitude of our Jinling government." Zhou Gaohai said.
