"Chen Jun, this is a list of material purchases specially given to you by the General Headquarters of the Dispatch Army, requiring that the task must be completed before October 5, and the time given to you is actually only three months." Shigeru Sawada met with Chen Mingxiang at the headquarters.

"Your Excellency, did you take it wrong? This is the material purchase order of the Central China Liaison Department of the Koya Academy, and the signature of General Taiji Ota! Chen Mingxiang was confused when he glanced at it.

"This is the type and quantity of materials listed by General Taiji Ota of the Central China Liaison Department of the Xingya Academy for Huatong Trading Company, your company is a military management enterprise, they are not qualified to give orders directly, and they must convey it through the General Headquarters of the Dispatch Army." Sawada Shigeru said with a smile.

"There are too many on this list, and it will take at least half a year or even longer for Huatong Trading Company to complete this target, and I am afraid that it will not even be able to get half of it in three months."

"Huatong Trading Company's relationship customers in Jiangtong District are fixed, and the fluctuation of monthly shipments is very small, this situation should be known to the Central China Liaison Department of Xingya Academy, why give me a task that cannot be completed at all, which makes me incomprehensible!"

"If the Central China Liaison Department of the Xingya Academy thinks that the company is in their hands and can make more contributions to the empire, I can hand over the company." Chen Mingxiang said with a wry smile.

The task itself is not important, but the intention behind it is really difficult to fathom, he thinks that it was the Central China Liaison Department of the Xingya Academy that started the idea of Huatong Trading Company, and wanted to force him to hand over the company, otherwise why would he be so messy?

In fact, Huatong Trading Company is just an empty shelf, the company's working capital on the books is its own, the transportation fleet is its own, and the office of the Bank of China is the military police headquarters, and there are no assets at all.

He personally controls all the major customers of the company, and he is also a related account of the Military Control Bureau, which can ensure that no one can pry 100 percent of the company's big customers.

"Chen Jun, you misunderstood, with the imperial army supporting you, no one dares to rob your company, and the Central China Liaison Department of Xingya Academy does not mean this."

"You don't quite understand the key, the base camp formed the Army's 17th Army and the Navy's Eighth Fleet in May, which are responsible for operations in the South Pacific region, preparing to cut off the shipping routes between Australia and the United States."

"This is a front-line combat unit, and the military department must give priority to the deployment of materials, otherwise it will affect the combat effectiveness, which will cause the quota of other garrisons in Southeast Asia to be insufficient."

"Although the empire's military manufacturing is very developed, the domestic resources are too scarce, and after the huge consumption of the war in Southeast Asia, there is an extreme shortage of raw materials for the military industry in China, which will cause very serious consequences."

"For this reason, the empire urgently needs to requisition strategic materials from all over China and transport them back to Japan as soon as possible to make up for this shortcoming.

"But when it comes to the supply of materials for so many imperial troops in the Southeast Asian battlefield, General Taiji Ota thinks that the Central China Liaison Department of the Xingya Academy can't bear it, so he proposed to the General Headquarters of the Dispatch Army that Huatong Trading Company also share part of the task, so you know what's going on!" Shigeru Sawada said.

Japan itself does not have many resources, basically relying on imports, even if it has some strategic reserves, it cannot support such a large-scale war, the Chinese battlefield has not broken through for a long time, and the Southeast Asian battlefield has been opened, and material consumption has become a fatal flaw.

How to solve this problem? Of course, it is necessary to plunder the resources of the occupied area to make up for the hole!

China, with its vast land and abundant resources, is the first choice of the Japanese government and military, and the time occupied by Southeast Asian countries is too short to reach the capacity of blood transfusion.

However, the strategic materials such as tung oil, pig bristles, rosin, and lacquer needed by the Japanese army were basically the most abundant resources in southern China, and it was normal for the Central China Liaison Department of the Xingya Academy to issue targets.

"But Your Excellency General, this time the quantity is too much, far beyond the limit of what the company can bear, I don't have the materials to exchange, and I don't have so much liquidity, even if there is, the company's customers can't get so many supplies in such a short time." Chen Mingxiang said.

"I know the situation of Huatong Trading Company very well, and the amount of materials provided each month is also recorded in detail, but it is really impossible to complete it in three months, and the number of transactions has been declining since the textile factory began to relocate."

"The smuggling method between you and Jiang Tong District mainly depends on cotton yarn and cotton cloth, and the Central China Liaison Department of the Xingya Academy will organize the supply of goods for you, which will be provided by Japanese textile enterprises, and you need to purchase directly with fiat currency, you can apply to General Taiji Ota."

"In fact, the empire is ready to abolish the Xingyayuan and become a new department, General Ota Taiji is afraid that his time in Huaxia is running out, you have to seize this good opportunity, the commander-in-chief of the dispatch army means that the minimum completion of sixty percent in three months is not less!"

"If you can achieve this goal, next year, Shunroku Hata will personally apply for an Imperial High Order for you!" Shigeru Sawada said.

These words give a lot of information, especially Taiji Ota is an opportunity to leave, there is a deep meaning in this, Chen Mingxiang returned home and thought carefully for a long time.

It's not that he doesn't understand what the opportunity means, but how to use this opportunity, Taiji Ota wants to complete this mission and return to Japan in style, under this premise, as long as the conditions are similar, it can be accepted.

"Bureau, Mingyue sent an interesting telegram, after Shadow Zuozhen Showa and Qingqi Qingyin were transferred, Li Shiqun had no backstage, and actually asked Chunfeng to help him get closer to Matsui Kutaro, who is the new top military adviser of Wang's puppet government, hoping to continue to gain the support of Mei's organs."

"Chunfeng has doubts about this matter, so far, the Japanese side has not made any action against Li Shiqun, and the commander-in-chief of the dispatched army, Shunroku Hatata, is very supportive of Li Shiqun's work of clearing the township, and it is indeed very difficult for him to do this."

"Once the spring breeze contributes to this, Li Shiqun may have a barrier during Matsui Kutaro's tenure, which is very detrimental to future work. But on the other hand, Chunfeng's current latent activities are in great need of Li Shiqun's protection and support, especially the problem of Huatong Trading Company. Mao Renfeng said with a smile.

Li Shiqun, the No. 1 enemy of the Military Command Bureau and the supreme person in charge of the secret service of Wang's puppet government, is in a high position and domineering in Wang's puppet government, and Li Shiqun, who can wrestle with Zhou Gaohai, actually wants to ask for help from the spring breeze!

Look at the strategic agents of the Military Command Bureau, to what extent their work has been done, Mao Renfeng is also proud when he says it.
