Chapter 930: The Enemy Gives Ideas
"Goto-kun doesn't have to be like this, we have been working together for the empire and working for the gendarmerie headquarters in the past two years, and I am also grateful for your care, if you treat me as a friend, don't say these outward words."
"In fact, it is also a good thing to return to my hometown, at least I can reunite with my parents, brothers, wives and children, enjoy a rare family happiness, and if I have the opportunity in the future, I can still come to Shanghai to visit old friends." Chen Mingxiang hurriedly said, also bowing deeply.
The head of the special high section of the gendarmerie, can he still have the blood of the anti-journalists in his hands?
But Chen Mingxiang is also helpless, more than half of the entire country's territory has fallen, what can he do if he doesn't reconcile with the five islands?
"Chen Jun is right, to be able to meet a friend like you in Huaxia, it is also a big gain for me, in the past two years, I have drunk your best Longjing tea and Biluochun, but I am a little dependent, in the future, you will bring me some to Japan through Japanese businessmen, I will bring you Japanese Gyokuro tea back, tea is secondary, mainly for more contact." Shigeru Goto said.
"This is also my negligence, when you leave, I will send you a few horses of fine silk from Suzhou and Hangzhou, but you can make and take it for the family, first the textile factory has a problem because of the cotton matter, had to close down two, and now I heard that even raw silk has a problem, maybe it won't be long before my silk weaving factory will also close." Chen Mingxiang said.
The first half of this sentence is true, the second half of the sentence is false, although the plundering of raw silk by Japanese merchants is cruel, but his industry in Suzhou and Hangzhou has not been affected much, the key is that raw silk does not belong to military supplies, and the local gendarmerie can completely protect his series of industries.
"The empire added seven new divisions last year, and from March 18 to 22 this year, two divisions were added successively, and it is said that by the end of the year, ten divisions and regiments will be added, and a large number of troops will be formed, which also means that the demand for cotton cloth has skyrocketed, and with the original consumption of various troops, how much cotton cloth is not enough."
"You also know what happened recently to the Chamber of Commerce, the empire originally planned to count the inventory of cotton cloth and cotton yarn of Japanese merchants and Chinese merchants in Shanghai, implement unified allocation management, and make rational use of resources, but unfortunately, it was messed up by the Chamber of Commerce, to be precise, it was messed up by the corruption of the Jinling government, and there were also some reasons for the Japanese chaebol."
"The headquarters was very unhappy with the fact that the registration process was not going well, and Kinoshita said that Kaneshiro Shibayama and Consul General Horiuchi had been severely reprimanded, and that it was expected that some changes would be made to the work of the Chamber of Commerce next month, and the situation must be reversed."
"Chen Jun, your decision to close the two textile factories in Suzhou is very correct, in the future, the empire's demand for cotton cloth will be more and more, and the control of cotton will become stricter and stricter, this is the top priority related to the empire's military needs, whoever dares to lose proportion in this regard is the enemy of the empire!" Shigeru Goto said.
When Chen Mingxiang heard this, he immediately had an idea, according to Shigeru Goto, 12 divisions should be formed in a year, that is, an army of more than 200,000 people, naturally a large amount of cotton cloth is needed, and Japan's domestic output is simply not enough, and it needs to be drawn from the occupied areas of China.
The most important thing that can be produced is cotton yarn, and cotton yarn needs cotton, which is an irreplaceable raw material, and as long as the Qingxiang Committee is dragged here, the Japanese side will definitely react.
"Since the general environment is a bit dangerous, I still have a textile factory left in Suzhou, in order to avoid becoming the target of others' attacks, should I also close it down?" Chen Mingxiang asked.
"The current situation is not so tense, and for the benefit of the empire, you have taken the initiative to close two factories and save a batch of cotton resources, which is enough to show your loyalty to the empire."
"Originally, the branch of the Japanese Textile Industry Association in Shanghai also had such a suggestion, but it was scolded by the 13th Army Headquarters and the Consulate General in Shanghai. There are more than 100 large and small textile factories in Shanghai, all of which are dead? ”
"Even if you want to close, the General Headquarters of the Dispatch Army and the Thirteenth Army Command will not agree, the army not only needs cotton cloth for combat, but also strategic materials such as bristle tung oil and rosin that you exchange for it, in addition, the General Headquarters of the Kwantung Army outside the gate also needs your factory to operate normally."
"Chen Jun, if you shouldn't say something, the interests involved in your entire business industry chain are huge, and it is no longer your own business, this is also your best means of protection, no matter what, you must continue to maintain it, so that you can have capital to deal with all forces." Shigeru Goto said.
Chen Mingxiang must admit that these words are correct, this Japanese devil told some big truths before leaving, and the reason why he has made so many achievements is entirely because the big killer weapon of interests is invincible, and it is also the core element of the intelligence network, after all, there are too few people who can not be tempted by interests.
"Goto-kun, after the handover of the special high school class, please come to the house for a light meal, and you have to have a good drink before leaving." Chen Mingxiang sent out an invitation.
"This is natural, even if you don't say it, I will definitely find the door for this meal, by the way, you deal with money every day, and you should pay attention in the future, the central reserve notes circulating on the market actually appear counterfeit, after the judgment of the Shancheng organ, this should be the ghost of the Shancheng government." Shigeru Goto said.
It turned out that when several businesses in Shanghai deposited money to the China Reserve Bank and the Bank of Communications, the staff stumbled upon unusual phenomena in the coins, some of the coins were very new, the printing was very exquisite, and more importantly, the paper used to print banknotes was obviously several grades higher than the banknote printing paper used by the China Reserve Bank.
The Japanese military organs, which specialized in using counterfeit banknotes to sabotage and create chaos in the financial order of the Kuomintang region, attached great importance to this matter and sent people to bring these counterfeit banknotes back for appraisal.
But what shocked them was that even professionals in this area could hardly distinguish the authenticity of these fake Chinese reserve bonds, and it was definitely not the underground party that could have this imitation ability, so it could only be done by the secret services of the Shancheng government.
According to some clues provided by the firm, the police department of the Ministry of Public Concession and the Special High Division, including the municipal police department, jointly carried out arrest operations, and arrested more than a dozen people in one day.
These guys often bought goods from shops in Shanghai, but after severe torture, they learned that they were actually guerrillas in the suburbs of Shanghai by the Military Control Bureau.
For this reason, the two forces of the Military Command Bureau in Shanghai, the intelligence station in the suburbs of Shanghai and the guerrillas of the Loyal and Righteous National Salvation Army, have also come into the sight of the Japanese army, and the command of the gendarmerie is now drawing up a search and arrest plan to prepare to severely crack down on the remnants of these military control bureaus in Shanghai.
