Chapter 402: Escalation

Hearing this news, Chen Mingxiang's heart was not so shocked, when Li Shiqun took over as the Minister of Police, Zhou Gaohai wanted his brother-in-law to be the executive secretary, but this proposal was rejected by Li Shiqun.

Because of this incident, Zhou Gaohai, the No. 3 traitor of Wang's puppet government, was very disgusted with Li Shiqun, and the abolition of the Ministry of Police was obviously an act of revenge.

But now that an emergency meeting is about to be held, he can't ask Mo Guokang about the inside story, since Ding Mocun is also here, he believes that he will receive a call soon.

"The law enforcement brigade of the inspection team openly robbed the materials of a number of firms, causing chaos in the social order of the Shanghai market, and also violating the provisions of the multi-party cooperation agreement."

"Originally, the work of collecting materials from the market was completed by the city government, and a munitions preparation department was also set up for this purpose, but you acted privately, which caused an extremely bad impact."

"Shanghai is governed by the consulates general of various countries in Shanghai, and your behavior has seriously damaged the image of the Japanese Empire in the international arena and brought shame on the Imperial Army, which is unacceptable!" Shizue Tsuda said as she patted the table, her tone seemed very angry.

"Your Excellency, General, please calm your anger, the actions of the inspection team are indeed very inappropriate, but Your Excellency must also understand their difficulties, the tasks given by the military department are heavy, the time is very tight, and there is a serious shortage of raw materials in our major enterprises, which is bound to affect future military operations."

"However, some firms in Shanghai ignored the notices of Japanese companies and put a large amount of materials in warehouses, unwilling to take them out to support the imperial army. said a representative of Mitsui Kaisha.

Because others don't give it, you have to rob it, and it's reasonable to say it, this is the logic of bastards, bandits, and invaders!

Chen Mingxiang watched coldly, and he also felt a sadness in his heart, fortunately, Japan and the United States were about to go to war, and there was still hope for the future.

"Chen Jun, as the commissioner of the Foreign Affairs Office, you represent the opinions of the municipal government, what do you think about this matter?" President Takashima of the Central China Promotion Association asked.

What do you ask me to think? There's a fart view!

Chen Mingxiang's environment is a very workout place, and he has long understood that the result of this matter is very simple, big things turn into small things, and in the end, it will be over!

Both sides have their own scruples, and no one wants to tear their faces, the best way is to take a step back and return things to square one, as for the opinion of the city government, it is dispensable.

"Since the inspection team is for the sake of the imperial army's military supplies, they looted materials to disrupt social order and cause a very bad impact, and the city government believes that it is understandable."

"Shanghai is not only a financial place for the Jinling government, but also a leader in China's industry and commerce, and the Japanese side also has great interests in this international city, and the two sides must maintain a consistent attitude and jointly maintain the sustainable development of Shanghai's economy."

Mayor Chen Gongbo asked the inspection team to strictly guard all passes, be cautious in personnel, perform their duties, and prevent the outflow of prohibited materials. However, Chairman Wang made a special phone call and asked the inspection team to prevent similar incidents from happening again and to avoid having a negative impact on the two governments in the international community. Chen Mingxiang said.

What these words mean is that the city government will no longer pursue what happened, of course, this is also nonsense, and people have to take care of you!

Chen Gongbo reminded the Japanese side to pay attention to the fact that the Shanghai market is of special significance to both the Jinling Government and the Japanese Government, and that it is necessary to take a long-term view and refrain from doing those moves of killing chickens and taking eggs and fishing for the sake of fish.

The industry and commerce in Shanghai, except for the concessions, are all controlled by the Japanese side, and if you continue to toss like this, you will suffer the most.

The suggestion of the city government is that the inspection team should honestly guard the pass, and not engage in any law enforcement brigades.

"I think the city's suggestion is very pertinent, the law enforcement brigade must be disbanded immediately, and the future direction of the inspection team is still at various gates. However, in order to strengthen the ability to control prohibited materials, a part of it can be appropriately retained and a supervision and management section can be established. Shizue Tsuda said.

"Your Excellency Minister, our production enterprises are seriously lacking in raw materials, and Shanghai's own resources are getting less and less, are you considering giving us a share of Huatong Trading Company?" This was stated by the representative of Mitsubishi.

"This is impossible, the military management enterprises under the 13th Army also need a large amount of raw materials, so you don't want to fight the idea of Huatong Trading Company." Major General Kinoshita Eichi categorically vetoed.

The Japanese army's weapons, equipment, and military supplies mainly rely on the major chaebols to provide them, but the Japanese army often has its own military management enterprises in the occupied areas.

That is, by means of force, by providing the necessary raw materials, and by forcibly requiring factories to produce munitions for themselves, the military police headquarters will often play a supervisory and supervisory function.

The gendarmes and the so-called Japanese overseers wantonly oppressed and humiliated the workers, paid wages that could not even provide enough to eat, and hired a large number of inhumane child laborers, who were paid more than half less than adults, but did the same work as adults, and often workers were killed and maimed.

"As you know, the military department has given us the task of producing quilts in Shanghai textile enterprises, the number is quite amazing, and it is difficult to complete it within the specified time, and Huatong Trading Company has three large textile factories with a very considerable production capacity, which can help us complete this target."

"Chen Jun, in order to ensure the needs of the military, I hope to temporarily assign these three textile factories to our Japanese textile enterprises, and then return them to you when the task is completed, what do you think?" said the representative of Neiwai Cotton Textile Co., Ltd.

Chen Mingxiang owned three textile factories under the name of the Military Police Headquarters, which were also the main resources he used to exchange materials with the Kuomintang Autonomous Region, accounting for more than 30% of the transaction volume.

Due to the protection of the gendarmerie headquarters, no one dared to look for trouble, and the secret service headquarters and the police station also had a lot of "care" for Chen Mingxiang's face, and the Japanese troops in various places secretly supported the cotton transportation of textile factories for their own interests, and the three textile factories were working day and night, and their output was increasing day by day.

Japanese textile companies have always coveted these three well-functioning textile mills, but Chen Mingxiang used the method of bundling interests to get the military police headquarters and the 13th Army headquarters, as well as the Marine Corps headquarters, to protect the textile mills, and their attempt has not succeeded for a long time.

"Chen Jun, what do you think of the requirements of textile enterprises?" Shizue Tsuda asked with a frown.

Chen Mingxiang naturally understands the means of Japanese textile companies, although it is said that it is temporarily assigned to them and returned after the task is completed, but in fact, it must be a meat bun beating a dog and there is no return.

After the completion of this mission, they can still use other excuses to rely on not paying it back, but they have no way to take these devils, so they must veto this unreasonable demand now.
