"Mingxiang, I know that this matter has developed to the extent that it has developed to the present level, it is not your intention, kick Su Chengde out of the officialdom, this is your purpose, but Li Shiqun took advantage of the loophole, took advantage of the contradiction between you and Su Chengde, and also used your energy to take the opportunity to hack him."

"Through this matter, you should be more attentive in your words and deeds in the future, don't be dragged into it, Chairman Wang is very unhappy about Su Chengde's affairs, and he also has a lot of complaints about Li Shiqun."

"Chairman Wang said that he doesn't know the general situation, and as a high-level government official, he will only intrigue to eradicate dissidents, and his behavior is high-flying, but has he ever existed in his eyes?"

"Anyway, Su Chengde is also the political commissar of our Jinling government, and he ended up like this just a few days after he became a politician, so how do the people under his rule view the image of our government?" Chen Gongbo called Chen Mingxiang to his office and said "seriously".

Chen Gongbo absolutely does not believe such a statement as suicide in fear of sin, and no one will believe it!

A person like Su Chengde, who has Lin Baisheng's backing behind him, is still a traitor and a veteran agent of the Central Unification Bureau, and although the things he did were bad in nature, such things as extortion, open robbery and covert robbery, murder for money, and disregard for human life, to put it mildly, this phenomenon is everywhere in the territory of the Jinling government.

Su Chengde committed suicide because of the fear caused by these things? What a miracle!

The reason why Chen Gongbo has such a judgment is that although Chen Mingxiang also has a part-time job in the Investigation and Statistics Department and the Special Service Headquarters, he has never paid attention to the work of these two departments, and to put it more clearly, he is not Li Shiqun's person at all.

How to say it, Chen Mingxiang is the most accurate person from the headquarters of the Japanese military police in Shanghai, followed by the city government's own people, which is also a recognized fact!

Ma Xiaotian is the director of the General Administration of Political Police, and Chen Mingxiang is the inspector of the Investigation and Statistics Department.

"I originally just wanted to take the opportunity of the Supervision Yuan's impeachment of Su Chengde to let the Jinling Court sentence him to a few years in prison and make him suffer, but I didn't expect Minister Li to hate him like this, and he didn't wait for the court to go to court, and killed Su Chengde on the same day!" Chen Mingxiang muttered.

"Brother, although you are very smart, you still don't know how deep the water is in the officialdom, and it has always been smooth sailing for me and the Japanese side to protect you in Shanghai, and there is a lack of opportunities to exercise, and some ideas are still immature."

"Su Chengde is not an important person, he will die if he dies, he must learn a lesson in the future, I called you this time, there is another matter, the Central China grain and rice rationing combination organization of Japanese businessmen sent a request to the city government, and the security command should cooperate with the Japanese army to strengthen the vigilance of the blockade line."

"As you know, the Shanghai market has just begun to implement the system of rationing in the two major concessions, and the citizens have indeed encountered temporary difficulties in their food rationing, and some people have violated the regulations by crossing the blockade line and secretly carrying grain and rice from the suburbs to the concessions to sell for huge profits."

"The meaning of the Central China Grain and Rice Distribution Association is to require the security team to patrol in shifts, severely punish those who dare to break the system of rationing, and if necessary, shoot without trial." Chen Gongbo said with a serious expression.

I greet your eighteenth generation ancestors!

The Japanese army stipulated that in the public concessions, the French concessions, and the Chinese territories, each person could buy 0.6 liters of rice per day with a grain purchase certificate, and the number of children would be halved. But the first ration, which began on July 6, consisted of only one liter of rice and half a liter of broken rice per week.

One liter is one and a half pounds, according to such an algorithm, how much is one point and five liters?

Note that this is a person's prescribed food ration seven days a week, just such a little rice, let alone a full meal, can really starve people to death if they boil porridge.

What should I do if I don't have enough to eat? Only by buying high-priced rice, that is, black market rice, food is nothing else after all, it is a matter of survival.

Some ordinary people really have no choice, so they take advantage of the time to go out, sew grain into their clothes, or put it in their own burdens, baskets or boxes, and secretly bring some rice back to Shanghai.

The price of the grain black market in Shanghai is 800 yuan and one stone of rice, and selling some of it can also subsidize the family's expenses, and it always costs money, at least you have to buy salt, right?

But such a move has stimulated the Japanese pseudonym, and it is necessary to strengthen the control of the blockade line, to put it bluntly, it is not to give the people a way to live, and it is so mad that it is simply inferior to a beast.

"Your Excellency Mayor, I think the Japanese side has gone too far in this matter, and I have no problem with the ration system, but the minimum subsistence needs must be guaranteed, and it is acceptable for you Japanese to eat rice and ration enough flour and miscellaneous grains for Shanghai."

"After all, food is irreplaceable, and it doesn't matter if you don't eat salt for a few days, but if you don't eat for a few days, you will starve to death, and sooner or later there will be chaos, causing huge hidden dangers to the social order of Shanghai."

"I want to use the industry and commerce in Shanghai to support the war, but I don't want to give food to the people, people are not machines, can hungry workers still work? Didn't they shoot themselves in the foot? Chen Mingxiang shook his head and said.

He is now unable to change this situation, but the struggle is necessary, the Japanese have forcibly occupied so many factories in Shanghai to serve their war effort, and the workers are all the original workers in Shanghai, and the number of Japanese workers is not very large, most of them are some management and small leaders.

This was the weakness of the Japanese army, in order to ensure the smooth operation of the factory, they had to make certain concessions, at this stage, the Japanese army would never dare to use force to deal with this matter.

Shanghai was an important material base for the Japanese army to wage war, and the Japanese government would not let chaos occur here and affect the guarantee of the war.

This kind of thing is powerless for the Military Command Bureau, but the underground party in Shanghai can do it, and the reason why Chen Mingxiang said these words is to make psychological preparations for Chen Gongbo in advance.

"I also know that this kind of food ration standard is really set too low, but to tell you the truth, it is a luxury to be able to maintain this kind of hope, and it will not be long before the standard has to be lowered, but our city government is powerless about it, everything is up to the Japanese."

"Most of the traditional grain-producing areas of Anhui Province, Jiangsu Province and Zhejiang Province were occupied by the Japanese army, and all the best quality rice was shipped to Japan as food rations, and there were also garrisons in Central, South and North China as military rations.

"Fortunately, the personnel of government agencies, the security headquarters and the police department can still be guaranteed in terms of food, you are the chief of general affairs of the security command, hurry up and write the application for food rationing, and receive the rice as soon as possible, and the matter of patrolling the blockade line cannot be delayed." Chen Gongbo said.
