Compared with the huge demand of the Shanghai market, the quota of public rice allocated by Wang's puppet government is too low, which is equivalent to a drop in the bucket and does not play an important role.

The population of the entire Shanghai market, excluding the population of the concessions, is currently counted at more than 2.8 million people, and the minimum annual demand for rice is 5.47 million stones, while the peasants in Shanghai produce 1.56 million stones, with an overall difference of 3.91 million stones.

However, the grain committee of the Executive Yuan of the puppet government provided only 36,000 bales of rice to the Shanghai Special Municipal Government, and each bale was 45,000 koku according to the net weight of 1.25 stones.

This amount of rice will not be given to the common people, but also to the constituent organs of the city government, relief agencies, mass organizations, and the Jinling government, so that the number of people who can be supplied to the citizens is even smaller.

Chen Gongbo wanted to take this opportunity to win the hearts and minds of the people for the Jinling government, and was determined to push down the applications of some government agencies and units, and provide more public rice to the people.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Excellency the Mayor, I have enough part-time jobs, and I can't keep busy now, and I don't want to take on one more position in the Food Council, and the Secret Service Headquarters is not on the list of applicants?" Chen Mingxiang asked.

"Li Shiqun is now the secretary general of the Qingxiang Committee, and he is sitting in the land of fish and rice, and the agency of the secret service headquarters and the Ministry of Investigation and Statistics in Shanghai will still be short of rice?"

"This time, only the staff of the subordinate agencies and functional departments of the municipal government are allowed to apply, and if he even wants to take advantage of this little bit of cheapness, he doesn't know the severity." Chen Gongbo said with a sneer.

He has never had a good impression of a spy like Li Shiqun, and believes that the secret service headquarters should not exist, and has ruined the reputation of the Jinling government and the special city government.

But Li Shiqun has the support of the Mei Agency, and he is the behind-the-scenes boss of Wang's puppet government, although he is the No. 2 person, he can't do anything to Li Shiqun.

"Mayor, didn't you say that you want to add a position to Commissioner Chen in the Security Command?" Mo Guokang said with a smile.

Chen Gongbo is also a master of playing with power, he believes that if he does not control the army, he will not have the right to speak and deterrence, so he has incorporated some local security forces in Shanghai and set up a pseudo-Shanghai security command, with himself as the commander, and this military organization was established last month.

His ambition was not small, and he originally wanted to set up two security divisions, but the Japanese resolutely refused to agree, and the total number of troops given was less than two regiments, but the military funds were allocated by the Japanese to help the Japanese army maintain "social order" in Shanghai and monitor anti-Japanese elements.

"That's the case, you also know that the police station and the secret service headquarters are actually managed by the Mei agency, and the city government has never had its own armed forces, so it is not confident to speak, and it is inconvenient to do anything, so I negotiated with the Mei agency and established the Shanghai Security Command."

"I didn't look for you in the preliminary preparation stage, because I felt that you had too many things to do, and you were in charge of the operation of many institutions, and those trivial tasks were handed over to you, which was inevitably a bit overkill."

"But at present, although the headquarters has been established, it is operating very slowly, there is a lack of people to deal with the Japanese side, and the Japanese side's military spending, weapons and equipment, and military supplies are not in place for a long time, so you can only add another burden."

"I have decided to appoint you as the head of the General Affairs Division and the head of the Liaison Office of the headquarters, and as for the specific duties, you will come to my office tomorrow morning, and we will discuss how to operate it." Chen Gongbo said.

Back at the residence of the Bank of China, Chen Mingxiang still felt funny, for no reason, he had an additional identity and two part-time jobs, and the position of the security headquarters was a military position, and he had to wear a military uniform to confer titles.

He also knew that the reason why Chen Gongbo did this was to use his special relationship with the Japanese side to escort the operation of the security command.

For example, if you ask the Japanese for military expenses, guns, ammunition, and all kinds of military supplies every month, if you come forward by yourself, the Mei organ and the 13th Army Headquarters will definitely process the application much faster, and many things can be discussed.

The Shanghai Security Command is the only military force in Chen Gongbo's hands, and it is supported by the Japanese, and it is also a force that cannot be ignored in Shanghai.

"The bureau, the intelligence department has conducted a strict private investigation of the twelve military and political dignitaries who attended the military meeting of the official residence of the Huangshan Committee that day, as well as the secretaries, cronies and drivers around them."

"To this end, the Intelligence Department mobilized field personnel in various departments, as well as the cooperation of the Operations Department, and after strict screening and investigation, finally locked down Luo Xiaohua, the operational staff officer of the First Department of the Military Command Department, and believed that he was the most suspicious." Mao Renfeng said.

"Tell me why!" Dai Li said as he drank his tea.

He was not surprised at all to get the results so quickly, this is the location of the headquarters of the Military Command Bureau, and he can't even do this thing, isn't it a shame for him?

The Military Command Bureau not only has a large number of special agents in the occupied areas, but also arranges and develops a large number of field personnel in various political and military departments of the Shancheng government to keep abreast of the movements of various departments.

"First of all, the data that Minister Xu of the Military Command Department needs for every meeting is provided by the secretary to the first department, that is, the first part of the war department, and the four staff officers are all insiders, and the operational staff officers who do the data collation the day before the meeting are Luo Xiaohua and another staff officer."

"Secondly, Luo Xiaohua took an afternoon off for two days before the bombing on the grounds of accompanying his wife to see a doctor, although his wife was indeed not in good health, but after verification, the hospital did not have a medical record, according to his neighbors, he went out alone, and his wife and children were at home."

"Besides, Luo Xiaohua used to be the military intelligence liaison officer of the first division of the General Staff Headquarters in the Jinling period, although his position was low, he had a high right to know, and he was also respected by his boss, and he had the opportunity to follow the dignitaries to the hot spring guest house to attend the meeting, and Nanzao Yunzi was the usher of the guest house back then."

"Luo Xiaohua was just a captain at the time, and he was promoted to major after coming to the mountain city, but he actually bought a small courtyard in the mountain city where every inch of land is expensive, the living standard and income are seriously inconsistent, and he often invites his colleagues to dinner, and his popularity is very good, he and his wife's respective families are very ordinary, and there is no additional financial resources."

"The most important thing is that the intelligence department has investigated the situation in half a month, and the rest of the suspected objects have been certified by someone to prove their traces, and no suspicious points have been found. Only Luo Xiaohua usually lives in a simple place, but neighbors said that they heard that he came back late several times in the past half a month, and colleagues and people who have more contacts have not met him during this time period. ”

"For three days in a row, the intelligence department arranged to follow him, and last night he changed into civilian clothes and went out of sight in an alley, where there were no colleagues and familiar people, and now the intelligence department is calling the police in the area to do information collection from house to house, suspecting that he has installed the radio station in a rented house." Mao Renfeng said.
