Chapter 913: The strongest have their own strong hands
Although Chen Mingxiang knew from the beginning that the matter of the Changlu Salt Field would not change much, since Shiozawa Qingxuan dared to allocate his salt fields, he was not afraid of the Japanese chaebol complaining to the cabinet, which was a warning method!
Out of the strategy of concentrating all resources to serve the war, the military and the cabinet joined forces to suppress the zaibatsu in order to reduce the cost of war and obtain more war materials.
However, this time she was able to take countermeasures in time, thanks to the information provided by Yoshiko Kawashima, if she hadn't informed Li Hongfei in advance to go to Jincheng and negotiate with North China Salt Industry Co., Ltd. to jointly deal with Haiyuan Salt Company, Chen Mingxiang's action would not have been so fast.
Although the final result will not change much, the two completely different environments, such as reactive response and early preemption, give people a world of difference.
"The forty-five people sent to Shanghai by the bureau headquarters have been in accordance with your instructions, five people have served as liaison officers, An Ran has served as the liaison team leader, twenty people are in charge of Zhou Guojun's intelligence department, and twenty people are in charge of Su Chengsheng's action department. Wang Zhen said.
The salary of the Military Command Bureau is relatively high, and the salary of the station directly under the Military Command Bureau is the highest.
At this time, the Shancheng government implemented a national disaster salary, which was much less than usual, and an ordinary private was seven yuan of legal currency per month, but the agents of the Military Command Bureau, especially the graduates of the training class, were second lieutenants after the training class, and they could get thirty yuan of legal currency per month, which was originally forty-two yuan.
But this salary is not much better than that of Huazi in Shanghai, because the rice in Shanghai is 1,200 yuan in Chinese reserve bonds in one stone, and the fiat currency and Chinese reserve bonds are two to one, and only the northwest wind is drunk.
Therefore, the treatment of the directly subordinate stations is the highest in the Military Command Bureau, the salary cannot be changed, and the various subsidies add up to very frightening, and the direct reissuance of 2,000 yuan of central savings coupons can be regarded as meeting the standard of supporting the family.
"These 150 people join the direct station, I have to spend an additional 300,000 yuan in savings bonds every month, you have to tell Boss Dai about this situation, don't pretend to be fine, I will write off this part of the money from the account in the future." Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.
He is not worried about money, but worried that his money will be remembered by the bureau headquarters, crying poor is also a last resort, for money, Boss Dai can play hooligans regardless of face, what is he embarrassed about?
"The bureau, Mingyue sent a telegram, and Chunfeng said that no matter what way he thinks, he will also complete the task of 2,000 tons of salt issued by the bureau headquarters. In addition, more than 100 people were sent to the direct station, and he had to take out 300,000 yuan of central savings bonds every month as a subsidy, and the prices in Shanghai were too high. Pan Qiwu came to Dai Li's office and said.
"In my memory, Chunfeng has never specifically explained to me because of money, it seems that he really encountered difficulties, 300,000 savings bonds, what was it to him before?"
"Qi Wu, I'm also thinking, the funds of our Military Command Bureau have always relied on his smuggling business to operate, and the spring breeze has earned more than a billion legal dollars for the Military Command Bureau over the years, if you want to say that the merit is great." Dai Li said with some emotion.
Since the 28th year of the Republic of China, Chunfeng has established the Huatong Trading Company with the support of the Special High Section of the Headquarters of the Military Police in Shanghai to do smuggling and trading between the Japanese army and the Military Command Bureau.
At the beginning, the monthly transaction volume was only more than one million fiat currency, which gradually increased to several million, and then to tens of millions, and last year directly to hundreds of millions of yuan, which is a gradual process.
Boss Dai, who was forced to be anxious by money, was also thinking about the good times during this time, and he didn't need to worry too much about the funds, he had a fixed large income every month, and the scale of the Military Control Bureau continued to expand, so that he formed an inertial thinking.
But as the business of the spring breeze went downhill and began to ask for resources from the bureau headquarters, Dai Li suddenly felt a lot of pressure, and he felt a little guilty about Chen Mingxiang.
"There is another thing, the bank's foreign exchange has not been implemented for a long time, and we have sent a telegram from an intelligence station in the United States, and the funds have been in a hurry for two months." Pan Qiwu said.
"Hmph, I offended Minister Kong in the smuggling case, which led to the future son-in-law being shot, although this is the suggestion of the second chamber of the attendant, but he has a grudge against the Military Command Bureau, that is, he delays not giving foreign exchange, and even the commission has no way to take him, it seems that he can only ask Minister Song for help." Dai Li said through gritted teeth.
The Military Administration has an intelligence station in the United States, which is responsible for liaison with the U.S. Navy and the embassy, but in the U.S. dollar is needed, which requires foreign exchange from the bank.
"There is no foreign exchange income in our bureau headquarters, and the dollars sent by Chunfeng in the past have also been given to several foreign intelligence stations, otherwise it is like this, the embassies of Britain, the United States and the Netherlands don't give Chunfeng a dollar a month as a subsidy for foreign nationals, isn't it ......" Mao Renfeng just said this, and did not say any more.
Because he found that Dai Li and Pan Qiwu looked at him with a very strange look, he knew that his bad idea was a bit excessive, so he stopped his mouth in time.
Dai Li felt that forcing Chunfeng to find a way to give 2,000 tons of salt to the bureau headquarters every month was shameless enough, but the strong have their own strong players, and Mao Renfeng has reached a higher level, to the level of brazenness.
Last year's smuggling transaction was very profitable, and during the Spring Breeze New Year, the bureau headquarters was given a holiday fee of $1 million, and the three bigwigs embezzled the foreign exchange.
Dai Li's money is mainly used for relations between various forces, and he has no concept of saving money, but Mao Renfeng and Pan Qiwu must have put it in their pockets.
"Bureau, there is one more thing when Mingyue calls, Chunfeng needs a letter of authorization, Chang'an Trade Bank and Yanzhou Underground Party Base do salt trading, he will inevitably come into contact with the people of the underground party, now is the period of cooperation, but no one is holding it accountable, but if the Anti-Japanese War is won in the future, he is worried that he will be caught, so please give him special permission." Pan Qiwu took the opportunity to make this request, which was also to change the topic for Mao Renfeng.
"Knowing that avoiding suspicion shows that he is mature and thoughtful, I will issue an edict and put it in his secret file, give him this permission, special treatment in special times, and now is not the time to turn his face with the underground party."
"You sent a telegram to Chunfeng and asked him to closely monitor the movements of the 11th Army Headquarters, and the Sixth Theater Command called me and asked us to help understand the enemy's situation, the Japanese army is gathering troops, and according to the current situation, it is possible to launch an attack on the area of An* Township and Nanxian, and the target is directly aimed at Wuling, but there are also such signs on the front line of Gong'an and Song*zi, and the theater command is not sure of the enemy's focus." Dai Li said.
