Chapter 319: If you have found a treasure

Britain was once known as an empire on which the sun never sets, but now its overseas residence is dominated by the Japanese, which is simply a shame to say!

But the situation is stronger than people, and the bombers on the British mainland that were obscured by Germany have blown up to the bottom, and when they are out of breath, what can they do to compete with the fierce and brutal Japanese?

Riddle felt that he was very unlucky, and the general directors of the former board of directors of the Public Concession were all imposing, and although the Japanese army captured Shanghai, they did not fall behind in the negotiations.

But when it was my turn to be the general director, it became a role of compromise, and now it has become a symbolic position, and the important things are basically decided by the Japanese, and it is too unbalanced psychologically.

"Your Excellency, I feel that you have pessimism in your heart, the situation does not seem to have become so bad, at least Britain is still stubbornly fighting against Germany, the country has not fallen, and most of the country in China has been occupied by the Japanese army." Chen Mingxiang said.

Everyone is now a cooperative relationship of interests, Chen Mingxiang is transporting military supplies to Britain, and no one knows the future of the concession, but if it exists for a day, it will have the value of use, and it is necessary to say a little close topic.

If Chen Mingxiang pretended to say good things about the Japanese to this British gentleman who had a strong dislike for Japan and was bullied, then there would be no basis for the two to have a relationship.

It is said that the essence of an English gentleman is selfishness and self-centeredness, and Chen Mingxiang said that this was considered.

"Although Britain and the United States were angry at Japan's aggression against China, they could not provide more help to China due to their own reasons."

"There are all kinds of indications that the Japanese army has entered a stage of strategic stalemate in Huaxia and Shancheng and is unable to achieve the intended operational objectives, and is likely to march into the South Seas and Southeast Asia to obtain local oil and gas resources."

"On April 13 last month, Japan and the Soviet Union signed a Japan-Soviet non-aggression pact, and the Soviet Union recognized Manchukuo.

"In order to warn and deter Japan, the U.S. government has begun preparations to freeze Japanese assets in the United States and impose an embargo on Japan, and the British government and the Dutch government will make the same decision, which is expected to be implemented in July."

"But Japan's military resources to wage war basically come from the United States and Southeast Asia, cutting off the lifeline on which Japan depends, and I feel that war is not far off." Riddle said.

As the top administrator of the place of residence in China, and in the Japanese-occupied area, Riddle obtained a very high level of information, and the gap in status made him see the current international situation more clearly than Chen Mingxiang.

Obviously, it was you, Britain and the United States, who indulged Japan's aggression against China and wanted to lead Japan to attack the Soviet Union, but now that the appeasement policy has been shattered and you see that you are in danger, you are busy trying to sanction Japan.

But Riddle's words revealed an important message, Britain and the United States will sanction Japan, and the two sides may trigger a war, which is very important information.

Chen Mingxiang could imagine how excited the committee of the Shancheng government would be to hear this news, which would greatly reduce the pressure on the Shancheng government.

"It's a world war, and no one can predict their fate, and since all this is something that ordinary people can't choose, I think the most important thing is to do everything possible to survive, as long as you live, there is hope." Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.

"Your Excellency is right, perhaps it is this kind of always optimistic attitude that has made you one of the most powerful people in Shanghai during the war, and I hope that we can move around often in the future and become good friends." Riddle said.

He was also paving the way for his future, and in the event of war, the concession surrounded by the Japanese would be one of the first places to be attacked, and the safety of him and his family may depend on the foreign attaché who maintained close relations with the Japanese.

Chen Mingxiang is an inconspicuous little person to the people of Shanghai, or ordinary foreigners in the concession, but people who have reached a certain level of status know how terrifying the hidden energy behind this young man's deliberately low-key image is.

Holding the Japanese Military Police Headquarters in Shanghai in one hand and the Marine Corps Headquarters in Shanghai in the other, such a person is extremely rare, and everyone knows that the Japanese army and navy are incompatible.

"Of course, it is my hope to be able to become friends with His Excellency the General Director, and taking up the position of Foreign Commissioner will also give us more opportunities to get in touch." Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.

There is no doubt that the higher the status, the higher the level, and the higher the value of the intelligence contacted. Similar international dynamic intelligence cannot be provided by the secret service headquarters, and it is difficult for the special high school to access.

Military operations between countries are the core secrets of the armed forces, and the base camp of the Japanese army will not be disclosed to small grass-roots units such as the military police stationed in Shanghai, unless it is necessary to cooperate.

In order to protect the safety of overseas people, the concession authorities must have regular communication with China, and in this case, Chen Mingxiang certainly has no objection to deepening ties with Riddle.

Of course, Riddle's careful thinking Chen Mingxiang also understands that he is just looking for a way back in the future, if he can continue to provide himself with this international information, in case the situation changes, it will be no problem to help him in the Shanghai market.

"Section chief, we have discovered an important situation, starting from the first day, someone has invested a large amount of counterfeit banknotes into the foreign exchange black market, exchanging dollars and pounds at high prices, as well as gold, after investigation, this is privately manipulated by Li Shiqun, director of the secret service headquarters."

"The Shanhui agency allocated 10 million counterfeit banknotes to the Southeast Trading Company, and he did not use a penny to purchase materials, but invested all of them in the black market, using the difference between foreign exchange and fiat currency to make profits." Captain Sato, the head of the special second section, said.

The special high section of the headquarters of the military police stationed in Shanghai is divided into a special first section and a special second section, one is responsible for military intelligence and the other is responsible for economic intelligence, but the special second section is not located in the military police headquarters, but is scattered in a number of Japanese companies or other institutions that sell dog meat on the head of sheep.

The second class of the special high school has its own inside line in the black market, and it is normal to exchange fiat currency for foreign exchange, and I didn't pay attention to this matter, and the counterfeit money incident broke out all of a sudden, and the foreign exchange dealers in the black market immediately checked their fiat currency and immediately found an abnormal situation.

No matter how high the counterfeit banknote technology printed by the Japanese is, it cannot reach the level of 100% simulation for the time being, and professionals can find some subtle gaps when they carefully inspect it, but there was no such problem before, and even the foreign exchange dealers who specialize in exchanging fiat currency have been fooled, which is purely a habitual mentality.
