No one is a fool, and these big traitors and traitors of Wang's puppet government are naturally well aware that the Japanese government suddenly threw such a big pie over, and the Japanese can have any good intentions, but they just want to put Wang's puppet government in front and manipulate it themselves behind the scenes.

But even so, compared to before, it was a earth-shaking change, and finally there was a little autonomy, and he had to follow the master's wishes and publicly shout two thanks to the lord Longen?

Participating in the war was not really fighting, but to transfer Japan's demand to launch this war to the common people in the occupied areas, and in essence they were accomplices.

What Zhou Gaohai said is not wrong at all, most of the troops of the Wang puppet government are rebels of the Shancheng government or scattered stragglers, and their combat effectiveness is absolutely not comparable to the army of the Shancheng government, let alone the Japanese army.

"What does the minister mean that the Japanese government has agreed to our Jinling government declaring war on the British and American governments?" Ding Mocun asked.

"At the beginning, the Japanese government did not agree to our participation in the war, and was ready to implement a new battle plan to sweep away the Yamashiro government's national control area in one fell swoop, but in October this year, the attitude of the cabinet and the military department changed and informed us that we could consider it."

"My second meeting with Matsui Taikuro confirmed that this statement will be implemented next year, the specific time is to be determined, I estimate that it should be in January, after all, it is the beginning of the year!" Zhou Gaohai said.

The Japanese military department drew up an operational plan, called Operation Plan No. 5, one of which was to mobilize the main forces under the commander-in-chief of the dispatch army to attack Sichuan Province from Shaanxi Province and Hubei Province, completely eliminate the biggest threat to the Shancheng government, and occupy the entire territory of China in one fell swoop.

Even now, the implementation of the plan has not been terminated, and the troops participating in the offensive are making preparations, but the unfavorable situation in the South Pacific, especially the disastrous defeat of the Combined Fleet in the Battle of Midway, and the attack of the US army on Kuah Island, have caused huge variables to the plan.

The war situation in China is unfavorable and it is also a stage of strategic stalemate, but if the Pacific region suffers another crushing defeat, it will inevitably endanger the security of Southeast Asia and even Japan.

However, after a protracted war, Japan's potential has been exhausted and it can no longer cope with two-front warfare, so the Japanese government and the military department have no choice but to make partial adjustments to the strategy of the Wang puppet government, and this "new relationship" talks were born.

However, in the eyes of Wang's puppet government, the Japanese army still controls the entire Southeast Asian region and part of the South Pacific region, and a slight defeat has not had a fatal impact on the overall war situation.

"Minister, I also want to ask for instructions this time, Huazhong Salt Industry Co., Ltd. has authorized me to be responsible for the sale of salt in the entire Shanghai market, and the salt of the garrison and Japanese expatriates is not under my control, if the Salt Administration of the Ministry of Finance takes over Huazhong Salt Industry Co., Ltd. and Lianghuai Salt Farm after the year, then my Haiyuan Salt Industry Company needs to be incorporated into the new company's system?" Chen Mingxiang asked.

In fact, it really doesn't matter if you ask Zhou Gaohai for this matter, the Japanese government's delegation of power to the Jinling government is only a superficial phenomenon, and there are too many restrictions in it, such as the consultant system is a typical example of selling dog meat on the head of a sheep, and the final decision is still in the hands of the Japanese.

Chen Mingxiang is backed by the city government and the major Japanese military agencies stationed in Shanghai, and his fleet can transport salt for the garrison and Japanese expatriates under the condition of tight transportation.

You treat yourself as a green onion, and the Japanese army must be willing to take your dipping sauce!

But Chen Mingxiang means that he intends to be famous and can get the authorization of the Salt Administration of the Ministry of Finance, which is equivalent to the support of both sides, if anyone dares to meddle in the salt of the Shanghai market, he will dare to chop off the other party's claws!

"When you eat the fat in your mouth, how can you spit it out? Tomorrow I will give you an authorization to file with the Salt Bureau, and take down the Shanghai salt distribution right in advance, you can rest assured that the bold operation is, who dares to be crooked, let him come to me! ”

"In the future, when your fleet transports salt for Shanghai, you will also have to help the Salt Administration transport it from the Lianghuai Salt Works to Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui regions.

"The salt output of the Lianghuai salt field is 90,000 tons per month, of which 30,000 tons will be transported to Japan, and 20,000 tons will be supplied to the Japanese garrison. Zhou Gaohai said with a smile.

The Suxichang area is Li Shiqun's most important tax area, and if Chen Mingxiang monopolizes the salt, he will directly conflict with the local salt merchants, and it is Li Shiqun who is embarrassed.

Let's not talk about the issue of salt tax, if you want to eat mixed rice on the territory of Suzhou Province, the salt merchant must have provided him a lot, and he took the money but did not do anything, which seems a bit unreasonable.

Zhou Gaohai This is a clear conspiracy, I can give you such a big benefit, it depends on whether you have the courage to do the next, at the same time, this is also a temptation.

But will Chen Mingxiang worry about Li Shiqun?

Now the two are close partners, as long as the profits from salt sales are divided, Li Shiqun definitely agrees with both hands, he only has money in his eyes, and the little profit given by the salt merchant, how can he directly participate in the dividends?

Don't underestimate these cities, this line is an important lifeline to support the Wang puppet government, commerce is very developed, industry is also among the best in the country, the sales price of salt in the city is definitely higher than in the countryside, this is a matter of common sense.

"The minister is opening up financial resources for me, how can I not know how to lift, so it is decided, as for the tax rate, please ask the minister to bother more, Shanghai, Zhenjiang and Suzhou, Xichang line, 10,000 tons per month is more than enough, but the business period of Huazhong Salt Industry Co., Ltd. is expected to be until January next year, we still need to wait." Chen Mingxiang said.

We, this word is used here to have a special meaning, Chen Mingxiang didn't seem to explain it, but Zhou Gaohai understood it, which is why he assigned the richest areas to Chen Mingxiang.

Chen Mingxiang has a fleet of ships of astonishing tonnage, which can transport salt to cities along the river and coastal cities such as Zhenjiang, Jinling, and Shanghai, while other salt merchants are a little worse, they are all small boats, and they are blocked by the gendarmerie water patrol team for three days, Chen Mingxiang does not have to think about this.

Chen Mingxiang "occupy" so many good places, the Japanese won't mind, Li Shiqun just doesn't mind, he really tears his face, that's a good thing, this guy's relationship network is so strong that it makes anyone frightened.
