Having been operating in Shanghai for several years, Chen Mingxiang also has some experience in how to deal with the Japanese puppets, and the Japanese invaders and traitors are both virtuous and have not yet been smashed with money, and as long as he is given enough time, he will be able to weave a network of relations outside the border and in North China.

But the problem lies in himself, in order to deal with the biggest enemy of the Shancheng government, the Wang puppet government, he has now taken root in Shanghai, and it is very deep.

The intelligence agencies and secret services wear many hats, the city government wears three hats, and there are still a lot of connections to be used, and the influence has gradually penetrated into Jinling, Suzhou, and Hangzhou, and the commercial network is all over the territory of Wang's puppet government, which is called the hand and eye to the sky.

Let's put it this way, even if Chen Mingxiang wants to leave, he can't go, and the Japanese puppets in Central China will not let him go, so he can only target North China, which can be operated.

"Chen Jun, in view of the urgent supply of military supplies in China, the headquarters of the Xingya Academy has approved your application to allow the Central China Liaison Department of the Xingya Academy to use a part of the gold and foreign exchange to operate this matter, but all the imperial army and gendarmes who transport the road must cooperate unconditionally to ensure the safety of material transportation, and the matter of material transactions will be entrusted." Taiji Ota said.

There are some things that he can't tell Chen Mingxiang, the situation in Japan's domestic production of military supplies is even worse than what he said, otherwise, the Xingya Yuan will not approve the use of gold and foreign exchange to grab purchase materials.

The attitude of the military bigwigs is very clear, as long as they can get the strategic materials urgently needed by the army, it is worth paying some price, and in the occupied areas of Southeast Asia, the Xingya Academy has asked the businessmen to develop and use them as soon as possible and supply materials to the empire as soon as possible.

"Your Excellency General, thank you for winning so many preferential conditions for me, I promise to complete this task for the empire and the Central China Liaison Department of the Xingya Academy, and it will be 100% completed."

"As for the Shanghai branch of the Japan Textile Association, please contact the general on my behalf, they have made less money this time, and they have prejudices against me, and the conversation is inevitably a little unpleasant."

"I need 10,000 pieces of cotton yarn and 5,000 pieces of faucet muslin, which must be completed within two months, please ask the liaison department to settle the payment with the Imperial merchants, and put the goods in the warehouse at the sixteenth shop wharf." Chen Mingxiang said.

10,000 pieces of cotton yarn is 45 million legal currency, and 5,000 pieces of faucet muslin are 30 million legal currency, which is only a part of the whole index, which can also be seen how amazing the scale of this material transaction is.

"Okay, I'll deal with this matter, the selfishness of the empire's textile merchants in Shanghai in this mission has made you see the joke. They also don't want to think about it, if it weren't for the empire and the army to provide so many resources, would they be able to get so many benefits in Huaxia? ”

"Now that the empire and the army need them to make a little less money and provide goods in exchange for military supplies for the war, they immediately used the relationship of the enterprise headquarters to go to Xingya Yuan to complain bitterly, and even I was sued, I am a bastard!"

"It is said that the Central China Liaison Department does not consider the interests of the imperial merchants, affects the operation of textile enterprises in China, and disrupts the production plan of the textile industry, which will have serious consequences for the future supply of military supplies." Taiji Ota said angrily.

It was precisely because of the resistance of these Japanese businessmen that angered the bigwigs of the Koyayuan and the military department that the transaction plan could be approved smoothly, and the military department and the chaebol used each other, colluded with each other, and contradicted each other, and the relationship was very complicated.

But the problem is that the army does not have the ability to do business, and most of the resources obtained need to be converted into war capital for these chaebols, so it is not possible to exert high pressure on businessmen, and the headache is not a day or two.

"Your Excellency, General, the vast majority of businessmen are short-sighted, only focusing on immediate interests, and it is normal to take care of the slightest loss. Now is a sensitive period, those imperial merchants feel that they have suffered a loss, and they will have trouble if they have nothing to do, and we should not contact too much. ”

"When the task is over and the work between you and the Great East Asia Province is completed, I will have a separate banquet for the general, send some Chinese specialties as a souvenir, and ask Your Excellency to appreciate your face at that time." Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.

"It's natural, you've thought it through, you've been able to get to where you are now, and you really have excellent ability to do things. Your Huatong Trading Company is also a military enterprise, and the Central China Liaison Department will consider supporting it. Taiji Ota was pleased with these words.

It's no wonder he's not satisfied!

Chen Mingxiang meant that during his tenure as the head of the Central China Liaison Department of the Xingya Academy, in order to avoid the eyes of those businessmen, the "heart" of this mission was not fulfilled for the time being, so as not to cause any problems.

After the abolition of the Xingya Academy, the affairs will be handed over to the Central China Dispatch Agency of the Greater East Asia Province, and it is planned to be cashed out when they want to return to Japan for retirement, which will be beneficial to both parties.

It is no wonder that Chen Mingxiang was valued by the Japanese army stationed in Shanghai and the Shanghai Special Municipal Government, this is not unreasonable, the way of doing things is simply leaky, with such subordinates, the superiors are not a little bit relaxed!

Chen Mingxiang's analysis is very correct, Taiji Ota is about to turn into a reserve, his psychology at the moment has changed a lot compared with before, he has become more rational, and his need for economic interests far exceeds his loyalty to the empire.

"Your Excellency General, at the invitation of the North China Command Staff Officer Qingqi Qingyin Dazuo, I will make a trip to North China in the near future, and I also plan to transport the goods there to Central China. But you also understand that the imperial army in each region is more strict in managing the affairs of its own territory, especially the material control organization. Chen Mingxiang said that he would not say anything more.

"I know what you want to say, the military department implements the strategy of using war to feed the war, and the garrisons in each place must find their own ways to maintain logistics and supplies, which is also a helpless thing and an inevitable thing."

"The military doesn't directly manage economic affairs, you have a relationship with the gendarmerie system, and you won't be embarrassed too much. In this way, I would like to say hello to Major General Kiyonobu Shiozawa, director of the North China Liaison Department of the Xingya Academy, and you can pay a visit to him after you arrive in Beiping, and our relationship is not bad. ”

"The material control agency in North China must be under the management of the Liaison Department, and with the cargo handling permit issued by him, you don't have to worry about restrictions on business activities." Taiji Ota said with a smile.

"As you said, the Xingya Academy is about to be revoked, and the pass of the Liaison Department can only last for a short time, and it will be a trouble in the future." Chen Mingxiang said.

"That's not going to happen, I'm going to go back to Japan to serve as an idle post, and I'll be transferred to the reserve after the transition, Shiozawa Kiyonobu is different, after the abolition of the Koyain, he will become the Empire's Minister Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary in North China, and will actually be in charge of all administrative affairs, not just diplomacy." Taiji Ota said.
