Play with me? Want to show me favor with such news?

Please, how miserable am I in your eyes, and you don't even know such news?

"General Kinoshita of the Gendarmerie Command and General Makita of the Marine Corps Command have already told me the news, and even I may be assigned to the Joint Investigation Team to serve as a contact person on both sides." Chen Mingxiang said with a slight smile.

"Knowing that you are powerful, I want to tell you to pay attention, do not talk about this matter with others in public, so far, the matter of the joint investigation team is still confidential, this time the Japanese side is keeping a close eye on it, and all the department heads involved in the investigation team have been sternly warned not to leak any information to avoid those important targets from fleeing the Shanghai market."

"Shanghai is an important industrial base and commercial center that is difficult to replace both the Japanese side and the Jinling government, and I heard from the mayor that this time the two sides have made up their minds to arrest a number of speculators and deter the entire grain market in Shanghai."

"The Special High Division of the Gendarmerie and the Intelligence Department of the Marine Corps, as well as the Municipal Police Department and the Police Department of the Public Concession Bureau, are secretly collecting information on speculators, and when this list is released, they will immediately start arresting people." Mo Guokang said.

Even you know it, and you keep it a!

Chen Mingxiang smiled and didn't speak again, Mo Guokang and the private transactions between the Shanghai businessmen, he didn't know, this smart woman who didn't use the place vaguely became the eyes and ears of the speculators in the city government, and she was about to become a spokesperson.

Chen Mingxiang sat behind Mo Guokang's desk and copied a new page of the application, altering the numbers seemed very irregular, but he felt a little uncomfortable that Mo Guokang leaned a little tightly, and the faces of the two touched a few times, he was not a fool, this woman must have done it on purpose.

Mo Guokang is naturally a beauty, otherwise Chen Gongbo would not have taken a fancy to her, but she estimated her charm too high, and Chen Mingxiang has never lacked beautiful resources around her.

"In the most difficult time for the municipal government, you can think of sharing part of the pressure for me, this is what I appreciate you the most, the large-scale food shortage in Shanghai has affected the social order, and there has even been a vicious incident of food grabbing, as the mayor, I am deeply worried about this."

"In fact, this is a common phenomenon, there are such situations all over the country, I have instructed the Ministry of Food several times, asking them to solve a part of the grain for the Shanghai market, but there is no effect, it is now the end of May, and we can only wait for the grain to be on the market in mid-July."

"But this situation must be alleviated, some speculators have a large amount of grain in their hands, hoarding Juqi to raise prices, which has caused a negative impact on the city government, in order to crack down on speculation, the Japanese side and we will carry out a cooperation, tomorrow we will set up a joint investigation team for rice and grain speculation, this time you will serve as the secretary general of the investigation team, responsible for the contact and implementation of specific work." Chen Gongbo said.

He glanced at the specific figures for the 6,000 tons of coarse grain procurement and distribution application handed over by Mo Guokang, turned to the last page and saw Mo Guokang's seal, so he signed it directly, without asking about it at all.

Chen Gongbo is not indifferent to this batch of grain, but the specific person who handles it, one is Chen Mingxiang and the other is Mo Guokang, both of them are descendants, and the price is higher than the market, but it is not outrageous, so he doesn't need to listen to the report.

"Businessmen who dare to do speculative trading, there is no simple background, they are inextricably linked with some high-level dignitaries, and I don't want to offend them." Chen Mingxiang said.

"You, the secretary general, don't have to come forward in person, the investigation team is in charge of the deputy minister of finance Chen Zhishuo and the consul general in Shanghai, Horiuchi Yucheng, and those people can't find you if something happens, but it's still possible to dredge up the relationship."

"You are mainly responsible for sending the confiscated grain to the Japanese Central China Rice and Grain Distribution Agency, 30 percent to the Japanese expatriate, and the remaining 70 percent to all use the household rice ration, I hope that the rice in the hands of these speculators can barely last until July." Chen Gongbo said with a frown.

Of course, Chen Gongbo knew how powerful the forces behind these speculators were, because he was one of them, but now that the Japanese were determined to clean up this group of people, he had no choice.

In order to avoid someone pleading, tomorrow he will take Mo Guokang to Jinling to hide, compared to Chen Mingxiang's sophistication and maturity, Mo Guokang's heat is still a little worse.

It's not that she's not smart enough, the key is that her character is too greedy and can't grasp the balance well, and she is easily swept into the whirlpool, causing strong dissatisfaction among the Japanese.

After coming out of the city government, Chen Mingxiang went to Yunhua Restaurant to find Zheng Tonghui, and he felt that if he put a little more pressure on the enemy, the effect would be better.

"You and the comrades in Shanghai have thought together, especially those factories of Japanese businessmen, now the wages are pitiful, some only pay a little beans and coarse grains, which offset the daily remuneration, not to mention full food, starvation and death are happening every day, the situation cannot be changed for the time being, we have to save ourselves."

"The comrades in Shanghai have drawn up a strike plan to mobilize workers in various industries to negotiate with these Japanese businessmen, the purpose of which is to be able to eat, and the conditions should not be too high or too low.

"A strike is not a trivial matter, if the enemy uses high-handed methods, it will cause great losses, we cannot let the workers shed blood or even be slaughtered, you are the most suitable intermediary." Zheng Tonghui said very seriously.

In order to survive, the workers had to unite to fight the Japanese invaders, but without strong support, strategy was crucial.

Chen Mingxiang has a very special interest relationship with the Consulate General in Shanghai, which is in charge of economic affairs, and the gendarmerie, which is in charge of violent means, and he can grasp the development of the situation in a timely manner and make reasonable judgments.

"I can say with certainty that a strike at this stage is not risky for the underground party and the workers, and it is also the best opportunity, because the food shortage in Shanghai affects the entire industrial production, and even the Japanese themselves do not want to see such a situation."

"Shanghai is of special significance to Japan at present, such as non-ferrous metal smelting and manufacturing industries such as steel mills, copper mills, steel refining factories and copper rolling plants, chemical enterprises such as rubber factories, chemical plants, dye factories and alcohol factories, machinery manufacturing industries such as ship repair, ginning machine manufacturing, silk reeling machine manufacturing, textile knitting machine repair and printing machine manufacturing, as well as the textile industry that is well-known throughout East Asia, these are all resources that Japan regards as treasures and played an important role in the war."

"What Japan wants is a manufacturing base that can continuously transfuse blood for the war, not a city with population loss, social chaos and starvation, and the war is already very unfavorable to Japan, and in this situation, they dare not use violent means to solve the problem, the reason is that they need to protect their own interests." Chen Mingxiang said.
