Chapter 177: Darkness Chen Cang
"Your Excellency, your subordinates have found a newly opened cigarette factory in the Public Concession, and are ready to use the best imported equipment and high-quality tobacco to produce a batch of custom-made cigarettes for the gendarmerie headquarters as your Excellency's daily welfare to the gendarmes."
"All gendarmes under the Shanghai Military Police Command who smoke cigarettes will be provided with one pack of cigarettes per person per day free of charge, and this small request is also requested for His Excellency the General's approval." Chen Mingxiang, under the leadership of Gangcun Shaozuo, came to Miura Saburo's office.
"Your Excellency the General, Chen Sang went to the junction of Anhui Province and Henan Province a few days ago, which is the most famous smuggling concentration area, and found that there were high-quality Xuchang tobacco leaves in China."
"This decision was made in view of the strong support given to him by the Gendarmerie Command, hoping to contribute to the gendarmerie." Gangcun Shaozo said in a helpful voice.
"Good, very good, it's hard for you to think so thoughtfully for the Gendarmerie Command, I'm not wrong, you are indeed the most loyal friend of the Japanese Empire, I agree to this request, and approve you as the only cigarette supplier for the Gendarmerie stationed in Shanghai." When Major General Saburo Miura heard the news, he praised Chen Mingxiang's approach.
Cigarettes are a necessity and consumable item for the army, and they have a certain effect on relieving mental pressure, so at least more than half of the officers and men like to smoke.
The Japanese military department distributes cigarettes to the army free of charge, and each soldier has the standard of one box a day, but to be honest, the adjutant's is barely okay, and the cigarettes equipped by ordinary soldiers are inferior cigarettes, which are quite difficult to smoke.
Chen Mingxiang actually thought of this problem, and transported the best quality Xuchang tobacco leaves to Shanghai to produce special tobacco for the gendarmerie, and also in the name of Miura Saburo, which is a pie in the sky.
The commander of the military police who can continue to bring benefits to the gendarmerie is a good military police commander, and Chen Mingxiang's move can enhance the prestige of Saburo Miura in the gendarmerie, and it is strange not to agree.
Similarly, Chen Mingxiang's thoughtfulness in considering the Imperial Japanese Army also proves that he is truly loyal, which is very important.
If you want to get the support of the imperial army, you have to take practical actions, unlike some people who only know that they are making money, but they only pay lip service.
"Your Excellency General, the output of this cigarette factory leased by Chen Sang is much higher than the demand of the gendarmerie, I calculated that the gendarmerie consumes 600 packs a day, and his cigarette factory can produce 3,000 packs in an hour."
"In order to be able to better serve the gendarmerie, he hopes to sell part of it to the outside world, and also solve the cost problem, and ask the gendarmerie command to take care of it." Gangmura Shaozo said with a smile.
This devil, who has always been gloomy to people, is also proud of Chen Mingxiang's performance, and having such outstanding subordinates in the special high school class is also his achievement.
"This is as it should be, Chen Sang provides high-quality cigarettes for our gendarmerie for free, and he can't let him lose money, that's not the way to treat friends, just do it, whoever has any objections let him come to me."
"Those government officials and businessmen have followed in the footsteps of our army, and they have received a lot of benefits, and they dare to touch the welfare of the gendarmerie headquarters, and their thinking is problematic, and the special high school can come out to educate them, and can they turn the sky upside down?" Saburo Miura disagreed.
The power of the Japanese military police is very large, and there is almost no restraining force, and the military bigwigs will not fight lawsuits with the government's economic departments and those big conglomerates for such.
This is the loyal refuge in the occupied area, the welfare brought to the gendarmes, this little thing should also be talked about, looking for excitement?
Another function of the Special High School in the occupied areas is to monitor the thoughts and speeches of all overseas Japanese or Japanese in China, even if you are Japanese, if you dare to make anti-war remarks, you will be severely punished, and you will be sent back to Japan at least or shot to death.
With Saburo Miura's words, even if Chen Mingxiang's cigarette factory has a protective umbrella for external sales, he can openly transport cigarettes to the Guotong area.
The reason why cigarettes are produced for the Japanese military police and the Japanese navy is because of the words of Saburo Miura, otherwise he would have done this act when he was full?
"Section Chief, why didn't you mention to His Excellency the General just now that I want to supply cigarettes to the Japanese Navy?" Chen Mingxiang asked.
"You don't understand, there are some things that can be done and can't be said, as long as they are not put on the surface, even if General Miura himself knows, he will pretend not to know." Gangmura Shaozo said with a smile.
He knew that Chen Mingxiang had a good relationship with some middle-level officers of the Marine Corps stationed in Shanghai, and he had business dealings with the Kodama organs, so it was inevitable that he would give cigarettes. No matter what kind of contradictions there are between the army and the navy, they are all Japanese, and it doesn't matter if the meat is rotten in the pot.
"The subordinates really didn't think it through, and there was another problem, this is a place for the gendarmerie to produce customized cigarettes, and I asked the section chief to send a team of plainclothes gendarmes to the tobacco factory to supervise the production, which is also for the sake of the safety of the Imperial Japanese Army." Chen Mingxiang said.
Regarding this matter, Chen Mingxiang had already greeted Zhang Wenyan in advance, and there were two advantages to doing so: First, there were Japanese military police guarding them, no one in the police department of the Ministry of Industry and Bureau of the concession dared to go to the cigarette factory to find trouble, and Britain, the United States, France, and other countries did not want to provoke Japan.
Second, it is supervised by the Japanese military police, and even if someone uses cigarettes to get started, the cigarette factory will not be implicated if something happens, which can be regarded as a rainy day.
"It's just you, the sleek ones are almost fine, can you still think about it? Let me arrange this matter, and send two squads of gendarmes to take turns on duty, and we must indeed pay special attention to the issue of security. ”
"You have been staring at the cigarette factory these days, and you must make the finished cigarettes as soon as possible, don't look at the big thing, but it will be of great benefit to you and the special high class." Gangmura Shaozo said.
He is now more and more satisfied with Chen Mingxiang, a batch of customized cigarettes is not in his eyes, the key is that Chen Mingxiang can automatically and spontaneously do things for the special high class, which is the most critical.
No, Chen Mingxiang drove the car, he always felt that something was wrong, he turned his head to look through the rear window, there was a Ford car far behind, when he came out of the cigarette factory, he seemed to have seen this car.
Chen Mingxiang's forehead, a layer of fine beads of sweat suddenly appeared, for underground work, a mistake is the threat of destroying the entire hidden mission, he also planned to go to the location of the radio station, send a report to the bureau headquarters, and almost caught him.
It doesn't matter if the report is issued, at this time, the special high class of the Japanese army has not yet been equipped with radio detection vehicles, this technology is relatively mature in Germany, the Japanese army has just introduced it, and it will take some time to manufacture.
The reason why Chen Mingxiang dared to make a bold report was that considering that the current detection technology is not yet mature, it can only be roughly located, which is relatively safe.
