Chapter 238: The Pegasus III
Kodama has a lot of industries in Shanghai, especially in the Hongkou area, and this time it was a small courtyard with a strong Japanese style, which looked ordinary on the outside, but the scene inside was as if it had arrived in Japan.
There are cherry blossom trees growing in the garden, and the famous weeping cherry blossoms are the most popular variety in Japan, but this is not the time to bloom, so there is no such thing as cherry blossom viewing.
The all-timbered house and corridors, the wooden floors with sliding doors, the tatami mats in the rooms, the tea and wine sets, and the dishes are all porcelain from Japan.
Chen Mingxiang, Ono Nakasa, Kodama and Shifu and Matsuue, four people sat in a room, drinking sake and tasting tuna sashimi that had just arrived in Shanghai.
Chen Mingxiang also knows that entertaining guests in this way is the highest standard in Japan.
"Chen Jun, I heard from the head of the Kodama Agency that the trading volume of the Huatong Trading Company and the Minhua Company of the Kodama Agency has plummeted during this period, less than one-tenth of what it used to be." Major General Matsuzhi said with a smile.
Picture poor dagger, right?
I know that this meal must be about the issue of goods, you can't do anything with the military police command of the army, what kind of ability is it to attack a little person like me?
"Your Excellency General, you also know that this is an order from the army, and the military police headquarters is said to be still carrying the task, and the share I give to the navy has already made General Kinoshita unhappy, saying that I am a typical elbow turned out, using the resources of the army to subsidize the navy." Chen Mingxiang said.
Bringing Kinoshita Eichi out is also to reduce his own pressure, anyway, the old devil said that if the Kodama organ finds fault, it will be pushed on him.
Rear Admiral Matsuue also felt a headache when he heard Kinoshita Eichi blocking it, everyone is a rear admiral, but one is the navy and the other is the army, and there is no subordinate relationship between them, and what's worse is that the navy and the army are incompatible, and the military police headquarters does not buy the account of the Kodama organ, which is also an inevitable result.
"Chen Jun, I know you are very embarrassed, the Kodama agency has also received a death order from the Military Command Department, and it is necessary to complete the specified strategic material reserve task, if you can think of a solution, the navy owes you a favor, and I also owe you a favor." Major General Matsuzhi said solemnly.
You don't want it!
Chen Mingxiang wanted to say this, but he was doing intelligence work, so he might not be able to ask for a favor from the head of the navy, and he could sell Rear Admiral Songzhi a favor, which was also not a loss.
Just like this time, if it wasn't for the good relationship with the navy, how would you know the approximate time of the Pegasus?
As long as you can get information like the Pegasus, it is worth paying some price, and it is not easy to offend the navy.
"The Kodama agency itself has a congenital disadvantage, and the acquisition of strategic materials on land cannot be compared with the army, Chen Jun, I can give you five times the profit, all settled in gold dollars."
"I can also promise you that wherever there is an Imperial Navy, you will have the privilege of passage, and you will be specially protected, and your industry will not be interfered with by Japanese companies." Kodama and Shifu said.
This old spy is really anxious, and the conditions offered are very sincere, and Chen Mingxiang is not afraid that he will not honor it, just like he himself said, on land, the navy will never be able to fight the army.
"It's not that there is absolutely no way, let's not focus on the Shanghai market, in fact, strategic materials can be traded outside the Shanghai market, so that we can take advantage of the advantages of the navy, Your Excellency the general and the head of the agency can understand what I mean, right?" Chen Mingxiang said.
"Good idea, this is definitely a good idea, Chen Jun, you are really an elite in business, the problem that has plagued me for so long has been solved by your words." Kodama and Shifu are overjoyed.
This is the problem caused by inertial thinking, why do you have to trade in the Shanghai market, near the place of origin or in the place where the naval power radiates, isn't it the same?
Chen Mingxiang transported the goods to the Yangtze River at the purchasing stations in Hunan and Jiangxi provinces, and transported the goods to Qinzhou, which was controlled by the Japanese navy, at the purchasing stations in Yunnan and Guizhou provinces.
Everyone contacted through the radio, and the headquarters paid Chen Mingxiang directly in Shanghai according to the agreed price, so that they could easily get rid of the surveillance of the Shanghai Military Police Headquarters.
"Your Excellency General, Your Excellency the Director, there is an old saying in Huaxia, it is said that if you walk too much at night, you will definitely hit a ghost, and there is no impermeable wall, and there is a great risk for me to do this."
"The amount of materials delivered to Shanghai is decreasing, and the military police command will definitely be suspicious, so I can't completely open my mouth to supply Kodama organs, let's do it according to this ratio first." Chen Mingxiang said.
Don't take Kinoshita Eichi of the Military Police Headquarters in Shanghai for a fool, this old guy is notoriously sinister and cunning, and for the sake of insurance, Chen Mingxiang did not dare to go too far.
"Thirty percent is not good, the share is too small to meet the needs of the Kodama organ, Chen Jun, at least I want fifty percent of the total." Kodama and Shifu had to swallow half of them in one bite.
"Your Excellency, I can understand your feelings, but it is difficult for me to do it, the ground is the world of the army, and I rely on the military police command, without this support, I will have no value." Chen Mingxiang said lightly.
In fact, in his heart, he is still inclined to sell strategic materials to the Japanese Navy, and there are more than one million Japanese troops in China, which is the most direct threat to the country, ravaging and poisoning the common people and plundering China's wealth.
However, the number of navies is much smaller, and there are few countries that have been occupied by the navy and perished, and it is better to give the navy than the army, although this is also an act of the enemy.
But for the sake of his own mission, in order to be able to better lurk, he has no choice, the army is the key to the situation, and he is very clear about which is more important and which is more important.
For the Kodama Agency, if they lose the support of the Gendarmerie Headquarters, it will lose their value to them, and they will turn their faces and deny people in the blink of an eye.
"Chen Jun is right, then let's take a thirty percent share, if you need help from our navy, you just ask." Major General Matsuzhi made a decision.
Although France has surrendered to Germany, it has not interfered with the normal operation of the French Concession, and the French are very adaptable.
However, tonight, there will be a bright spot, Wang Qianhe, the owner of Baochang Textile Factory, brought his nephew Queen Zhen to attend the cocktail party, which instantly amazed the audience.
Wang Zhen, who was wearing a blue and white striped Western-style skirt, captivated the guests present with her elegant temperament and graceful and luxurious ladylike demeanor.
"Lao Wang, why hasn't your niece seen it before?" A wealthy businessman in the concession asked.
"When she fell to Jinling, she was evacuated to the mountain city and worked in the central bank, and I just came back a few days ago, and I took her to see the social occasions in the concession." Wang Qianhe said with a smile.
