In order to target the rising Soviet Union, Britain and the United States adopted a policy of appeasement toward Japan, hoping that by not intervening in Japan's war of aggression, the scourge would be directed to the Soviet Union, which would make the West unable to eat and sleep at night.

With regard to the various atrocities committed by the Japanese invaders in China, especially the massacre in Jinling, they expressed their unscathing attitude and wantonly sold strategic materials to Japan, such as steel, oil, machinery, and automobiles.

Although Japan participated in the Axis powers, it was not a belligerent country with Britain and the United States, especially the Americans, who were still hesitant to make unrealistic fantasies at this time, and were unwilling to tear their faces with the Japanese because of the Chinese affair.

The Yamashiro government is counting on the help of Britain and the United States to put pressure on the Japanese government to rescue the kidnapped bank clerk, which is similar to a dream, and it can be morally supported, and substantive measures should not be considered.

"Your Excellency Smyth must also know that although I serve as the director of the inspection office in the secret service headquarters, I am only a temporary position, and my main job is the inspection team and Huatong Trading Company, and I basically have nothing to do with other affairs."

"I can understand the current difficult situation of the Ministry of Industry and the Police Force, Shanghai is a Japanese-occupied area, and it is indeed not a wise choice to have a conflict with the occupation forces here."

"A few days ago, the family members of the secret service headquarters were arrested by the patrol room, but the police officer concerned could only return to China, and the face of the police department of the Ministry of Industry was not good-looking."

"As long as there are no foreigners who have touched the concession and encounter other problems, I think it is better to avoid some as much as possible, after all, the international situation has a great impact on Britain and the United States." Chen Mingxiang said.

No matter what Smyth meant by saying these words, Chen Mingxiang did not intend to take this stubble, and also expressed his attitude, when it came to the matter of the secret service headquarters, it was meaningless to tell me.

At the same time, it is also pointing out the fact that the concession is slowly losing its own status, in fact, you yourself can't hold on, how dare the Japanese treat the British and American concessions like this before?

The police commissioner of the Ministry of Industry and Bureau of the concession is a real power position, although the Japanese are becoming more and more powerful now, but as long as everyone does not go to war, the British and American concessions involve public security matters, and the police commissioner will say it.

Chen Mingxiang was very wary of Akagi's words, and he was worried that a large number of patrols in the Concession Patrol House would be bribed, which would bring ruin to the military command of the Shanghai First District.

There is no threat of exposure yet, and he is not suspected by the Special High School and the Secret Service Headquarters, which is also due to several reasons.

On the one hand, it is because the bureau headquarters has adopted the highest level of encryption measures for his files, except for Boss Dai and Pan Qiwu, no one else can see it, and the authority is insufficient.

The second aspect is that there are very few people who know this code name, and nothing has happened at the moment, but Chen Gongshu in Shanghai District 1 knows it, the newspaper operator knows it, and perhaps the secretary general also knows that once he is arrested by the secret service headquarters, his code name will not be kept.

Third, the image he has painstakingly managed is not to touch intelligence and not to participate in the action, as an uninformed person, no one can suspect him in the previous intelligence leaks.

It is conceivable that if the enemy knew that there was a military commander agent hidden deep in his heart, the special high school and the secret service headquarters would attach great importance to it, and they would have to dig three feet into the ground to find out the people.

The reason why he came to visit Smyth was to use business cooperation to deepen personal relationships, and when necessary, to spy on intelligence, or to use the hands of the police department to sabotage the activities of Akagi kinyuki.

"I know that Mr. Chen's Huatong Trading Company has been secretly doing business with the Kuomintang region, with a monthly transaction volume of millions of fiat currency, and has provided a large number of strategic materials to the Japanese army, such as pig bristles, tung oil, rosin, and so on."

"At present, my motherland, Britain, is at war with Germany, and needs a large number of strategic materials to support it, in view of the special location and status of the concession, the government requires us to purchase these military resources for the country, and I hope to be able to cooperate with Mr. Chen's company." Smyth decided to change the subject.

In the past, Chen Mingxiang's remarks were an insult to the British Empire, when did the empire ever fear Japan, a newly rising military power?

But the problem is that there is no point in being stubborn now, the facts are here, ordinary people may not know much about the inside situation, but Chen Mingxiang knows it, and what people say is right, there are indeed some dilemmas in the concession.

Without the support of the state's strong armed forces, it is impossible for this kind of leased land in a foreign land to maintain its special status.

"Since Your Excellency Smyth knows that I am procuring supplies for the Japanese army, he must also understand that without the support and acquiescence of the Japanese army, this trade and transportation route would not exist." Chen Mingxiang said.

"Mr. Chen has a very good business vision, seeing that the demand for materials increased sharply during the war, the profit will be several times or even more than ten times, and the purchase price of the Japanese army is honestly much higher than that of the Shancheng government."

"Take tung oil and pig bristles as an example, the price of tung oil in the mountain city government at the junction of Henan and Anhui is 70 yuan, and the price set by the Japanese company is 400 yuan. The purchase price of bristles from the Yamashiro government was now 3,500 yuan, while the Japanese army had reached 6 to 7,000 yuan per quintal. ”

"Our Anglo-American company will definitely give you the greatest profit, tung oil can be given 50 dollars a load, 1,000 yuan in legal currency, 500 dollars per load of bristles, 10,000 yuan in legal currency, all paid in dollars."

"There is a lot of trouble between the China Reserve Bills and the fiat currency, and you also know that these two currencies are not reliable, and the China Reserve Bonds do not even have reserves, and if you hold such money, you don't know when it will become waste paper."

"The fiat currency was originally ten to three with the US dollar, one hundred fiat currency to thirty US dollars, and now, almost one dollar to twenty fiat currency, and the value of the currency is constantly decreasing. Smyth said with a smile.

This foreign devil is very good at seizing the opportunity, such a person should be the army's procurement minister, not the police commissioner.

In fact, this type of conversation has no advanced skills, or it doesn't need skills, and you have a lot of money to smash it with dollars, and you don't believe you're not moved!

Chen Mingxiang decided to agree to this cooperation without much consideration, on the one hand, it was an instruction from Boss Dai of the Military Command Bureau that it was better to give Britain and the United States to the British and American countries than to the Japanese devils who invaded China.

On the other hand, for the sake of the dollar, the profits of British and American companies are high and they make a lot of money, and in order to cope with the future situation, it is absolutely impossible to have no money.

"Since Your Excellency is so frank with each other, I will also tell you the truth, it is not impossible to consider the mutual benefit of everyone, the money can be delivered in Shanghai, but the place where the goods are traded cannot be placed in Shanghai, we have just finished trading on the front foot, and the Japanese military police will come to my house to arrest people, which is the primary condition." Chen Mingxiang said.

"There is no problem with this, the Japanese government does not dare to conflict with the British and American governments, the goods of the British and American companies, the Japanese military police will not inspect them at will, I mainly consider whether the quantity can be guaranteed." Smyth said.
