Although the mayor's position was debated from the end of October to the beginning of November, the result was not announced, but this had no impact on Chen Mingxiang.

The Shanghai Concession is now in an unprecedented "boom" stage, reaching the level of overcrowding, and housing prices are also rising, but as long as you are willing to spend money, it is not too difficult to find a house.

It only took Chen Mingxiang a week to borrow the name of a bodyguard in the French Concession and rent a three-story garden house with a courtyard at a high price in Sinan Mansion, a residential gathering place for celebrities.

This is a typical French architectural style and layout, the outside of the small building is full of vines, there are manicured grasses and tree-lined paths, sitting under the trees drinking tea, coffee and red wine, there is a unique elegance, this will be used as the residence of Mingyue, but also the place of "Golden House Zangjiao".

In addition, he also rented a very ordinary old bungalow, a two-story building, as the station of the action team, and it was only a junction from where Mingyue lived.

"Mr. Frederick, I need to order another batch of weapons, shell guns, submachine guns, sniper rifles, and preferably two machine guns, and the more bullets the better." Chen Mingxiang came to Teckwah & Co.

"I will definitely find a way to meet your needs, Zhang Xiaolin and Fu Xiao'an were killed, and the entire Shanghai market was filled with an atmosphere of terror, and everyone was increasing their bodyguards to strengthen their firepower."

"The empire is at war, and there is a great demand for tung oil and bristles from your country, and I also hope that Your Excellency can purchase a batch for my company to complete the task given to me by the embassy. Of course, I will pay at a higher purchase price than the British and American, and I will not let you lose. Frederick said.

Tung oil and bristles are the most important strategic materials at present, and the armies of each country have a large number of needs, and Huaxia is the main producing country, and the German foreign companies in China have received orders from the embassy to purchase tung oil and bristles, as well as tungsten ore and other scarce metals for the war of the empire.

But at present, the main partners of the Yamashiro government are Britain and the United States, especially the Americans, who have deep pockets and are not short of money, and the prices offered are very attractive. The second is Japan, whose military aggression occupies most of China, and is also smuggling from the Kuomintang at a high price.

In order to be able to snatch food from the mouths of the United States and Japan and meet the supply of materials for the army, the German embassy asked the major foreign banks to purchase strategic materials at high prices, and the government would subsidize them.

Frederick lacked access to the acquisition of strategic materials, but his partner Chen Mingxiang was not, and he was the largest smuggler of strategic materials in Shanghai, if not one of them.

"For friends, I think it is very cherished, please rest assured, give me the order directly, I will try my best to meet your requirements." Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.

As long as he didn't sell to the Japanese, he could sell to anyone, and Britain and the United States were not belligerents with Japan now, and he didn't have any burden in his heart to sell to the Germans.

"Great, I can guarantee that the weapons and equipment you need will be shipped to Shanghai within a week, and the price is absolutely low." Frederick said.

"Mr. Frederick, can you help me procure a few German-made military portable radios, which I need to strengthen my ties with in my business dealings with the nationalized regions." Chen Mingxiang said.

At this time, Germany's industrial strength was in the forefront of the world, and electronic communication products were no exception.

"I will report this matter to the ambassador privately, there should be no problem, treat my friends, the empire is very generous, and will keep it strictly confidential for you." Frederick doesn't think it's a problem.

Military portable radios, used to transmit intelligence, contact and receive instructions, are indispensable communication tools, for his own hidden mission, Chen Mingxiang decided to privately purchase a few as a reserve for the future.

The more hole cards the enemy doesn't know, the greater the chance of survival, and he is ready to use his financial resources to build a few more secret dispatch points, and there is no need to move the radio station every time, the risk factor is too high.

"Chen Jun, Mayor Fu was unfortunately killed, and the special city government will usher in a new mayor, are you interested in taking on a position in the city government?" Onoza said with a smile.

"I don't know which big man in the Jinling government the new mayor is?" Chen Mingxiang asked.

Ono Nakasa suddenly called to invite him to the Japanese-occupied area for tea, he knew that something must be something, but he never expected that it would be a pie in the sky, and the navy wanted to get some benefits for himself.

During this time, because of the obstruction of the military police headquarters, Chen Mingxiang did not dare to make a deal with the Kodama organ, and it is estimated that this old devil is also helpless against the military police commander Kinoshita Eichi, so he wants to secretly entrap himself.

The position of a city government does not matter to the new mayor at all, and in order to gain the favor of the navy, this matter is nine out of ten sure.

The teacher only allowed himself to be a low-key person, but it was okay to do things in a high-profile manner, and there was no harm in having more lice, and there was no harm in having one more position, provided that the gendarmerie command had to agree.

"Our navy has recommended Chen Gongbo, president of the Legislative Council and member of the Standing Committee of the Military Commission, to the Jinling government, and this candidate has been approved by the General Headquarters of the Dispatch Army and also approved by Chairman Wang. Ono said.

I have been fighting for this position since the Double Tenth Festival, and now it is November 2nd, more than 20 days, why are we fighting for it, and the mayor's fat shortage is going to fall into the hands of Chen Gongbo?

This result is definitely not accidental, first of all, it comes from Wang Jingwei's jealousy of Zhou Gaohai, and he does not allow this position to fall into the hands of powerful factions, but there are indeed not many candidates who are qualified to compete.

The second is that Chen Gongbo has a close relationship with Wang Jingwei, and he belongs to the type of high position but no real power in Wang's puppet government, and the threat to Wang Jingwei is very small.

In addition, Chen Gongbo has a good relationship with the Japanese Navy, and in Shanghai, Japan's most powerful force is not the Military Police Command, but the Marine Corps, which has thousands of officers and soldiers, which is a force that cannot be ignored in controlling the situation.

Chen Gongbo once signed a traitorous treaty and sold Hai * Island to the Japanese Navy, and the Navy naturally looked at him differently and highly recommended it to Wang Jingwei.

"Ono-kun, the Jinling government and the municipal government are full of talents, I have no qualifications and the second is too young, I'm afraid I can't hold an important position, if I go to the city government to be a section chief, director or something, it's not shameful enough to say it, forget it!" Chen Mingxiang shook his head and said.

The real power position of the city government must fall into the hands of the new mayor, and for Chen Mingxiang, it is of little significance to hang a false position, and there is no need for this at all.

"We have also considered this problem, and we will not let you only hold a fictitious position in name only, and decided to recommend you to serve as the deputy director of the Shanghai Social Bureau, and it is a deputy director with real power, in charge of the material control work of the entire Shanghai market, even if you are the director, you have no ability to restrain you." Ono said.
