"You replied to the bureau headquarters, the situation in Shanghai is even worse than before, and the large Chinese merchant textile factories that have just been recovered from the public concession have basically not started work, because there is a lack of enough cotton, and the predatory vitality of the Japanese merchants is greatly damaged, and it will take a long recovery period."

"And the Japanese cotton yarn and cotton cloth, the demand of the army and the Japanese mainland has increased sharply, and they are not enough, and they want to hoard cotton cloth and cotton yarn in Shanghai, our Huatong Trading Company does not have such scattered channels."

"But Shanghai is the first industrial city after all, and the merchants still have a lot of cotton yarn in their hands, and the small textile mills have not stopped producing although the output is very low, but the price is much higher."

"Please use the strength of local gangs and guerrillas in Shanghai to buy cotton yarn and cotton cloth from small retail investors, and I can assist in storage and transportation." Chen Mingxiang thought for a while and said.

Although he was full of hatred for the military command structure of the Yamashiro government about the annihilation of the 128th Division, when it came to his own work, he immediately recovered his mentality.

At present, he is the largest supplier of cotton cloth and cotton yarn in the entire Kuomintang region, and is also the main source of channels for the Military Control Bureau; in the normal smuggling trade, more than 30,000 pieces of cotton yarn and tens of thousands of pieces of cotton cloth are transported to the Kuomintang region every year, which is the most important exchange material.

Last year, a peak was reached, and the smuggling and trading outside the customs area alone provided the Military Command Bureau with an astonishing amount of cotton cloth and cotton yarn, which was measured in 10,000 pieces.

However, this year's situation is very unoptimistic, and there are no new orders outside the customs so far, and the share of cotton is only enough for the three textile mills to produce cotton yarn and cotton cloth for material exchange, and the output cannot be increased.

As for the Shanghai market, the Japanese ostensibly abide by the new strategy of the Japanese government, which is to return the occupied factories to the original owners, but their return is still conditional!

Good textile mills, the Japanese textile industry will continue to occupy them by means of mergers and acquisitions and leases, and the returned factories and machines have been dismantled, resulting in an empty shell after taking over.

In addition, the problem of cotton could not be solved, and the right to purchase cotton-producing areas was in the hands of Japanese merchants, and the Chinese textile factories could not obtain raw materials, so they could not produce cotton yarn and cotton cloth.

"I know your relationship and ability in the occupied area, but you don't accept the task when you give it, will Boss Dai be unhappy? It's better to put it off and talk about it, anyway, there is no specific number and time limit given. Wang Zhen said.

"Then you can't catch me alone and use it to death, right? There are so many people in the Military Command Bureau, in addition to the guerrillas of the Loyal and Righteous National Salvation Army in Shanghai, there is also an intelligence station in the suburbs of Shanghai that has skyrocketed in strength, all of them are dead? Mr. Du of the Green Gang also has great power here, and he is fully capable of doing this well. ”

"I'm not a god, I can change whatever I want, if they are not satisfied, remove me as the stationmaster, what I can do, needless to say, I will do it in front, I can't do it, it's useless for Boss Dai to speak!" Chen Mingxiang said with a sneer.

"Shanghai suburb intelligence station? I seem to have heard of this organization, it used to be the establishment of an intelligence group, and its impact was very small, so small that it could be ignored, besides, it is enough for us to have a direct station in the Shanghai market, is it still the headquarters of the bureau to expand its strength? Wang Zhen said in surprise.

"This intelligence station has been established for a long time, and it was originally used by the bureau headquarters to reinforce the first district of the military command, to provide documents for the comrades who have lurked in Shanghai, to provide protection and transfer for the comrades who have been exposed, and to collect information on the outskirts of Shanghai, to cooperate with the guerrillas of the Loyal and Righteous National Salvation Army, and to contact the youth gangs and businessmen in Shanghai to provide supplies for the national control area."

"The Shanghai suburb intelligence station has been operating for so many years, and its power is not small, and now for the special tasks of the headquarters of the Executive Directorate, many members of the training class have been added one after another, which basically belongs to the establishment of the B type station. It's ridiculous that I, the stationmaster of the station directly under me, actually don't know anything about it, and Boss Dai has taken confidentiality measures against me, which is not a taste when I think about it! Chen Mingxiang said.

This is what Pan Qiwu said when he came to Shanghai a few days ago and was eating and drinking, that the Shanghai Suburban Intelligence Station will implement the plan of the headquarters of the Shanghai Metropolitan Administration, use special coupons to purchase materials in Shanghai, and collect 200,000 US dollars in festival fees from his students.

Chen Mingxiang also knew about the existence of this intelligence station earlier, but the scale at that time was not large, not much stronger than the intelligence group, until the teacher said it, he knew that the bureau headquarters now attaches great importance to this intelligence station, and it is already the scale of a type B station.

The intelligence station in the suburbs of Shanghai is also very powerful, and it is a key institution for the cooperation between the bureau headquarters and the gangs, and it also has close ties with the Loyal National Salvation Army.

The subordinate stations have always been incompatible with the Loyal National Salvation Army and local gangs, and have followed the upper-level model of the Japanese army's intelligence agencies, garrison headquarters, and city governments, while the intelligence stations in the suburbs of Shanghai have taken the bottom-level model, so that they can achieve complementary effects.

"Boss Dai's doing this is also a bit out of line, the Shanghai market is indeed very important, and the establishment of other intelligence agencies is beyond reproach, but you have to tell us, right?"

"I've never seen the existence of a kind of station, and there is a kind of station B hidden next to it, if the name is not right, it is not good, is this trying to supervise us, or restricting us? It's not enough to have a Liu Nina, you need to play with us like a thief every day? Wang Zhen is also a little annoyed by this approach.

"It's not as dark as you say, besides, the boss's decision is an order, we have no room for negotiation, the nature of the work of the direct station is only intelligence, this is Boss Dai's positioning of us, and the rest of the things will be left to the Shanghai suburb intelligence station to operate."

"This station is not as simple as you think, the water is very mixed, even if it is for the direct station, I don't dare to ask for it, and I will pretend not to know in the future, they do theirs, we do ours, what I mean to you is to let you know in your heart, where there are people, there will be struggles, I have no foundation, it is better to hide away." Chen Mingxiang sighed and said.

Why did Pan Qiwu just mention this intelligence station in the suburbs of Shanghai? Of course, there is something to say about it!

Things have to start from the period of Chen Gongshu in the first district of Shanghai, when he was first appointed, the secretary was Wang Yixin, but the two did not agree with each other, Wang Yixin was squeezed out by Chen Gongshu, and later served as Boss Dai's secretary, which can also see his status.

After the collapse of the 1st Military Region in Shanghai, Wang Yixin was appointed by Boss Dai as the head of the Shanghai Experimental Zone, and he remotely commanded the military forces in Shanghai to continue to struggle against the enemy and the hypocrites, and the work of the Shanghai Special Operations Corps under the military command was under his leadership.

Another is Wang Xinheng, the former head of the Gangcheng Intelligence Station, a major general of the Military Command Bureau, who returned to Shancheng after the fall of Gangcheng and was appointed secretary general of the Shanghai Unification Committee under the Executive Yuan.

The most conspicuous chess piece in the game of chess in Shanghai is the intelligence station in the suburbs of Shanghai, and both sides have extended their hands to this institution.
