The Japanese navy's material procurement work in China has been ineffective due to serious interference and obstruction from the army, and this situation has made the military command department feel a toothache, but on the ground, the navy is obviously unable to suppress the army.

Since the establishment of the Huatong Trading Company, the situation has been partially alleviated, and Chen Mingxiang's 30% share of the transaction with the Kodama Department is currently being acquired by the Kodama Agency, for which it has also been commended by the Military Command Department.

It is no secret that cotton yarn and cotton cloth were the main bargaining chips used by the Huatong Trading Company to exchange materials with the Kuomintang region, but the behavior of Japanese textile businessmen brought fatal difficulties to Chen Mingxiang's work.

"Even if I move to Suzhou, I will not be able to start work normally until at least the end of the year, and it will take time to move machinery and equipment to repair the plant, which also means that the material exchange work will be greatly affected for at least seven months."

"I have my own textile factory, and the price of cotton yarn and cotton cloth is low, which can not only offset part of the transportation costs, but also give more profits to the merchants in the Chiang Tong District, which is also the fundamental reason why people are willing to do business with me, and they can make money."

"However, if you change to the supply of Japanese textile companies, their prices will inevitably be very high, and the merchants are for money, so that the profits of the other party will plummet, and the future trading volume will inevitably decrease." Chen Mingxiang said.

The cost is the sum of the cost of purchasing cotton, the cost of turning it into spindles, the cost of weaving, the cost of labor, the cost of electricity, the cost of machine wear and tear, and the cost of transportation.

In fact, their cost was much lower than Chen Mingxiang's, but the price was half more than Chen Mingxiang's.

"These people are under the banner of serving the empire and enjoying the benefits brought to them by the imperial army, but they do things, no wonder you are a little disheartened, this is the businessmen of the empire, they are Japanese, in their eyes, the national interest is not as important as the private interest!" Ono Nakasa said angrily.

"Chairman Soichiro Ueda said that he would send someone to the factory to pull cotton yarn and cotton the morning after tomorrow, and he would not give a penny, and he would owe it first, which was to force Mingxiang to a dead end and take the initiative to hand over the factory to them." Wang Zhen added a sentence, which is also a very important sentence.

"Chen Jun, did you promise them?" Shimada asked suddenly.

"How is that possible? I haven't consulted General Kinoshita about this matter, how dare I call the shots and give them the most important production materials? Chen Mingxiang said.

"That's easy to do, wait until the morning after tomorrow, I will send three teams to hide in the textile factory, whoever dares to grab the materials, will be beaten half to death on the spot." Shimada Nakasa said.

"That's not good, right? I estimate that the people who go to the factory are all idle people of the Empire, and the Marines beat the Japanese to cause you trouble, and we are all good friends, and I don't want to see you suffer! Chen Mingxiang said.

Although Wang Zhen was next to him with an angry look, when he heard Chen Mingxiang speak, he couldn't help but turn his head, looking at his worried and embarrassed expression, it was really just right.

Chen Mingxiang thinks that Wang Zhen is also very good at acting, showing the anger and anxiety of a woman who is worried about her man, and movie stars are nothing more than that!

"Jun Chen, this statement is wrong, this is not only a personal friendship between us, but also involves the interests of the entire Imperial Navy, since you are determined to move the factory, these raw materials are the basis for future construction, and the Marines must not let those greedy and shameless Japanese businessmen snatch them away!" Nakajima Daisa said solemnly.

Early the next morning, Chen Mingxiang rushed to the military police headquarters after breakfast, and his car was followed by a truck containing more than 200 kilograms of Biluochun tea leaves, which were divided into more than 1,000 paper bags according to the weight of half a catty per person, and printed with the words "special for the military police".

Tanaka Osa, the head of the general affairs section, thanked him again and again with a piece of fine silk, and hurriedly ordered the gendarmes to unload the tea.

"Is Your Excellency Commander in the office?" Chen Mingxiang asked.

"It's still early, you can go directly to his residence, last night General Taiji Ota from the Central China Liaison Department of the Xingya Academy came, and the two quarreled until midnight, I heard that it was for the three textile factories of our military police headquarters?" Tanaka asked.

"Yes, the Shanghai branch of the Japan Textile Industry Association wants to close these three factories and rob me of raw materials, and I also hurry to find His Excellency the General for this matter."

"People also looked for me last night, or directly found the family, it sounds like there is no room for recovery, our gendarmerie headquarters can suffer a big loss this time, and the income in the future will be reduced by at least sixty percent!" Chen Mingxiang said.

"It's quite beautiful to think, how can there be such a cheap thing, this is a military management enterprise of the military police headquarters, and if it says it will be closed, it will be closed, and you have to ask us if we agree." The head of the Police Division of the Military Police Headquarters, Kiyoshi Tsukamoto, a military policeman, came over and said with a snort.

Immediately afterwards, Shigeru Goto, the head of the special high section, and Yoshida Nakasa, the head of the judicial section, also came, adding up to the four major section chiefs of the gendarmerie and the four most powerful subordinates under the commander of the gendarmerie.

They had been living in the headquarters compound, and they had come so early not because of their enthusiasm for work, nor because they were worried about the large amount of income that the gendarmerie headquarters was about to lose, and the events of last night could not be hidden from them.

Chen Mingxiang's Huatong Trading Company has to pay more than 3 million legal dollars a month to the military police headquarters in its smuggling transactions with the Kuomintang Autonomous Region, which is a large amount of wealth.

One million of them were given to Kinoshita Eichi himself, one million to the junior and lieutenant officers of the military police headquarters, 500,000 of the remaining 1 million to the gendarmes, and the remaining 500,000 yuan as the expenses of the headquarters.

Each of these section leaders has to share a dividend of 100,000 yuan every month, and it is suddenly cut by 60%, so how can it be indifferent?

"I'll talk to His Excellency the General first, this matter is a bit troublesome, but the other party is prepared!" Chen Mingxiang said.

He liked very much the attitude of the officers of the Gendarmerie Command, who shared the same hatred for the enemy, which showed that the three-year work had been very fruitful.

"Jun Chen came early, I have good news for you!" After Chen Mingxiang sat down, Kinoshita Eichi said, but looking at his expression, he seemed to be very unhappy.

"Your Excellency General, it's not too early, I have bad news to tell you!" Chen Mingxiang said.
