Chapter 116: A Terrible Omen
On March 30, Chen Mingxiang did not go to work at the team headquarters of the inspection team, and as the boss, no one dared to take care of the skipping shifts, not to mention the business of Huatong Trading Company to deal with.
But in fact, he didn't go anywhere, but sat at home smoking, drinking, and listening to the radio, and Wang's puppet government was still established today, oh, maybe it should be said that it is more correct to say that it is a monkey and a crown.
When the old man in Shancheng heard the news of the Jinling Radio Station, he was furious and made a speech on the Shancheng Radio Station, announcing that all the important figures of Wang's puppet government were wanted, a total of 105 people, and Wang Jingwei, the number one traitor, was naturally the number one wanted criminal.
"Wang Jingwei, a big traitor who has been scolded by tens of thousands of people, has betrayed the country and the nation, wants to turn China into a puppet and colony of Japan, and is extremely shameless to the extreme!"
"Huaxia has been bullied by the Japanese invaders, and now that the Wang puppet government has been established, we are bound to endure double oppression, and the life of the common people is not enough to describe the dire situation!" Just returned from the newspaper, Lu Kunyu said angrily.
"It's useless for you to be angry, if Wang Jingwei was afraid of being scolded by others, he wouldn't have come to the point where he is now, after the establishment of the Jinling government, the pressure on the Japanese has been reduced a lot."
"In the past, the occupied areas had to rely on the Japanese army to maintain the occupation situation, but now they can be handed over to the army and police of the Jinling government, so that both the Shancheng government and the underground party's anti-Japanese base areas, especially the latter, will be purged like never before." Chen Mingxiang said.
Don't look at the fact that he has only been lurking in the Shanghai stock market for a few months, the level of his exposure is too high, and these theories are not new, so it is easy to make judgments.
"Why didn't the Japanese concentrate their forces and destroy the southwest occupied by the Yamashiro government in one fell swoop, but instead carried out a clean-up of the base areas?" Lu Kunyu asked.
This is also a problem that many people are worried about, the Japanese government supports the puppet government of Wang, that is, it wants to withdraw from dealing with the mountain city government in the southwest, once the southwest is lost, the whole of China will fall into the clutches of the invaders.
"On the one hand, it is determined by the geographical location of the southwest, the strengths of the Japanese army are limited by the terrain, and the Shancheng government currently has a main force of more than 3 million, and the Japanese army is temporarily unable to fight such a war, and the troops are insufficient and the logistics support cannot keep up, so it is really powerless."
"Japan is a resource-poor country, and it has reached its extreme in the early stage of the war, so the Japanese government's strategy is to blockade the economy of the Great Southwest Nationally Unified Region, and then supplement it with military means to force the Yamashiro government to collapse by itself."
"On the other hand, the Japanese army is trying to maintain the status quo, control the existing territory, plunder resources to save for the war, and the base areas are all within the Japanese occupation area, which is a great threat to the Japanese army's strategy, and it is not surprising that the base areas are targeted."
"The banner of the Jinling government has the slogan of peace, anti-communism, and nation-building, which shows that the Japanese have been afraid of you to a certain extent." Chen Mingxiang said.
Lu Kunyu also heard his leader say that the Japanese devils implemented the three-light policy against the base areas, a large number of ordinary people were killed, and the troops also suffered heavy losses, but it was advantageous to contain the strength of the Japanese army, adding time and reducing pressure on the Shancheng government.
"On my way home, I saw a lot of people rushing to the rice shop to buy rice, and when I asked, the price of rice rose from more than 100 catties and 23 yuan per load to more than 67 yuan per load. Lu Kunyu said while lying in Chen Mingxiang's arms.
The refugees caused by the August 13 Battle have not been completely evacuated, and there are still a large number of ordinary people suffering in the concessions and refugee areas, and even the most basic food for survival is threatened.
"This is an inevitable result, the Japanese army is now implementing the local supply strategy, and their own country is still short of food, so the grain is also set up as contraband and is not allowed to circulate."
"The rice-producing areas in Jiangsu Province, Zhejiang Province and other places were controlled by the Japanese army, and rice was bought at a low price or simply snatched from it, and the Shanghai market could not get a source of food, so the price would naturally rise."
"Also, the purchasing power of fiat currency is getting smaller and smaller, the current one hundred, that is, the original fifty, or thirty, if this continues, the fiat currency will collapse, and in the future, it will be exchanged for silver dollars or gold as much as possible, and the dollar can also be, and I am also ready to exchange the fiat currency at home for the ocean." Chen Mingxiang said.
Although he knows about the problem of food and money, but he can't do anything, this is a time of war, it is an act of the state, and how many people can he help with all his might?
It's okay to protect yourself, but the old inspectors lack rice and ocean, isn't that a joke? But for the people of Shanghai, the situation is becoming more and more severe, think about the lack of food and starvation people, think about the banknotes in their hands into waste paper, what a terrible thing?
What's more, no one knows how long these days will last.
"Chen Sang, at six o'clock this evening, the Marine Corps Command will hold a small cocktail party, and I sincerely invite you to participate." Ono Nakasa said on the phone.
Chen Mingxiang is a friend of the navy, and this has been agreed upon by the navy stationed in Shanghai, first of all, he provides the daily necessities of the entire Marine Corps, and secondly, he is buying tung oil for the navy.
"Of course, I'm honored to accept your invitation, and I'll be there on time, and I'll bring two cases of fine French wine." Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.
The Japanese Navy will bomb the mountain castle, he shoulders the heavy responsibility of obtaining the content of the plan, and he likes to contact the naval officers the most, although the value of two cases of red wine is high, but for the sake of the task, twenty boxes will not be distressed, anyway, Boss Dai will reimburse himself.
"The Japanese Navy actually took the initiative to invite you to the drinking party, Brother Mingxiang, your face is really big enough now!" Lu Kunyu pursed her lips dissatisfied.
"If you don't have a good relationship with the Marines, how will you deal with things in the future? Don't forget, my colleagues were rescued by me, and the Navy doesn't buy the Army's bills, and I also take precautions. Chen Mingxiang smiled and lowered his head and kissed her red lips.
Originally, he was just going to kiss him, but who knew that Lu Kunyu actually hugged his neck, took the initiative to stretch out his lilac tongue and stir it gently, and he was lost.
Chen Mingxiang also felt that he was a little contradictory, he liked mature and amorous beautiful women like Liu Nina and Nanzao Yunzi, and he liked quiet and pure girls like Xiaojuni, which were two extremes.
For Lu Kunyu, although he had the opportunity to eat cleanly, he never took further action, is it too familiar to speak?
