"Your Excellency, Chen Mingxiang of the Huatong Trading Company has arrived at Jieshou Town on the border between Anhui Province and Henan Province today, and contacted the branch of the local Minhua Company, using our radio station, and asked the Kodama agency to inform the Special High Division of the Military Police Headquarters about his itinerary." The communications officer of the Kodama agency reported.

"You reply to Chen Mingxiang immediately, I will call Gangcun Shaozuo in person, his speed is not slow, I like this vigorous and resolute style, this is the person who does things."

"In addition, tell him that if the first acquisition point needs financial support, he can directly contact the branch of Minhua Company, and when he comes back, I will treat him with the best Japanese sake and the best Japanese food." Kodama and Shifu said with a smile.

"Your Excellency, there is a question for my subordinates, our Kodama Agency has Minhua Company to purchase all kinds of materials in the first place, why do we have to use Huatong Trading Company to do it? Doesn't this increase the cost? "The Communications Officer doesn't understand.

"You idiot, don't you know the relationship between the Imperial Navy and the Army, and now they are on the same footing? The army gendarmerie controls all the transportation arteries on the ground, and the Huatong Trading Company has the background of the military police headquarters, so it can go all the way unimpeded, and it will also receive special protection, can the Minhua Company do it? Kodama and Shifu scolded.

The Gendarmerie Command has its own system, and has never bought the Navy's account, and in fact, it does not buy the Army's account very much. But after all, the gendarmerie was also under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of the Army, and the army's road transportation was not subject to much difficulty, but the navy's cargo was miserable.

Kodama's branch of the Minhua Company, which was set up at the head of the world, was specially designed to purchase supplies for the Japanese Navy, and it was because of this background that the goods were often seized by the gendarmerie in various parts of Anhui Province, for various reasons, which made Kodama and Shifu also anxious.

Under the tremendous pressure of the Military Command Department, this old devil set his sights on Chen Mingxiang, and he thought that this Chinese man had a flexible mind and knew how to be flexible, and could help him complete the task.

"Our Huatong Trading Company has special exemption treatment, if the customer proposes to barter, you can also use the materials of Shanghai for exchange, the transport team can go from the head of the world to Anqing in five days, you just let go of your hands and feet, do not consider the way."

"If the funds from the acquisition station are not delivered for a while, you can go to the branch of Minhua Company to borrow, and I will pay directly to the headquarters of Minhua Company in Shanghai." Chen Mingxiang said to the salesman Zhang Dingchun.

Although he did not stay in the base area for a long time, the shock in his heart was intense, because due to the blockade and continuous attacks of the Japanese army, life was very difficult for both the troops and the common people.

Don't say that you can't afford to buy cloth to make clothes, it's hard to guarantee two meals a day, and even the most basic salt is often lacking.

The soldiers in the field hospital made him feel worried, his clothes were ragged and his face was yellow and thin, which was the result of long-term nutrition not keeping up, not to mention eating meat, and there was no oil star in the dishes.

Under such difficult conditions, the fighters of these guerrilla detachments still insisted on fighting against the Japanese invaders, and Chen Mingxiang felt very much admiration for this, after all, the conditions of the army of the Yamashiro government were much better than theirs.

Although the common people are in such an environment, they are willing to be with this army, no longer oppressed by the landlords and bullies, and there is no excesses and miscellaneous taxes, and they have the most valuable wealth, that is, land, and they are already very content.

He was glad that he was also a member of the fight against the Japanese invaders, and although he was misunderstood, his heart was at peace.

"Boss, won't you stay a few more days?" Zhang Dingchun asked.

"I'm very relieved that you guys are doing things, they are all veterans in this industry, and it's not difficult to open up the situation. There is still a lot of work that I need to deal with in Shanghai, and it is not good to come out for too long, so I will return to Luzhou tomorrow morning. Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.

He is an intelligence officer of the Military Command Bureau, not a specialized smuggler, and the reason why he has come to Anhui Province to engage in smuggling is, in the final analysis, to deepen the solidity of the chain of interests and lay a solid foundation for obtaining intelligence in the future.

Ding Mo Village's own brother was beaten to death with a wine bottle, and if such a big thing happened, he had to rush to Jinling as soon as possible, and finally established a personal relationship with Ding Mo Village, which must be maintained.

The personnel of these purchasing stations, all of whom have family members in Shanghai, Chen Mingxiang is not afraid of their hands, and if they can find such a good job during the war, people with a little brain will know what to do.

He rented a yard at a high price, found a carpentry shop to make a signboard, and left the rest alone, how can the boss worry about everything?

Speaking of which, it was also a period of war, but the head of the world became a famous small Shanghai market, if it weren't for such a big environment, it would be unimaginable to want to create such a place.

There are many restaurants on the street, and its lively scene seems to be like returning to Shanghai, but the storefronts are relatively simple, and there is no luxury and cultural heritage of Shanghai.

These restaurants are either the characteristics of Henan Province or the characteristics of Anhui Province, Chen Mingxiang and Zhang Dingchun, plus the truck driver Xiao Shouan, the three of them found a Yu restaurant.

"Commissioner, the young man in a suit must have said from the bureau headquarters, Chen Mingxiang, the boss of Huatong Trading Company, and the remaining two, one wearing a robe and the other wearing coarse cloth clothes, at first glance, he is a follower." A man in a tunic said.

Near the first acquisition point of the Luzhou Acquisition Station of Huatong Trading Company, there were two people standing, looking like businessmen.

"I'm not blind, take care of your mouth, Boss Dai is counting on using the channels of Huatong Trading Company to make money for the bureau, and Chen Mingxiang is the key person."

"Strictly speaking, he's a traitor! The news of this visit to the head of the world is strictly confidential, if there is any leakage, how can we explain to Boss Dai? A man wearing sunglasses said.

Dai Li transferred a batch of supplies from Henan Province, mainly pig bristles smuggled from the north and tobacco leaves from Henan Province, to Shanghai City to earn funds.

The Pacific War had not yet broken out, and the bristles were not yet controlled goods, but they were embargoed to Japan, and the purchase price of the Japanese side had reached 8,000 legal dollars per quintal.

Dai Li asked Chen Mingxiang to secretly sell these bristles to the British and American companies in the concession, or to the German companies, and try not to give them to the Japanese side.

Chen Mingxiang can withdraw 20 percent of the money obtained from the purchase of cotton cloth, cotton yarn, hardware, rubber tires, western medicines, cigarettes, etc., to be transported to the Guotong Region.

"Manager Chen, I am Dai Xing, the manager of the Yu branch of Bofeng Company, and the head office said that you are the head of the world, and I have been waiting for four days." As soon as Chen Mingxiang returned to the acquisition point, a man wearing sunglasses and a suit walked over and said.

Bofeng Company is the name of a subordinate firm of the Military Command Bureau, which has a lot of business dealings with the Huatong Trading Company, and the amount of smuggling is quite staggering.

What Dai Xing, it is Dai Xingbing, a major general-level agent of the Military Command Bureau, I really can't imagine that Boss Dai actually sent his henchmen and generals here in order to raise funds.
