The Huazhong Salt Industry Company is a subordinate unit of the Salt Administration, and the Salt Administration is a subordinate unit of the Ministry of Finance.

However, Chen Mingxiang understood that Zhou Gaohai really did not dare to do this matter, and the Ministry of Finance was the lifeblood of Wang's puppet government, responsible for the operation of the entire puppet regime, and the salaries of officials, the salaries of soldiers, the office expenses of the yamen, and various expenses under various names had to be allocated from the Ministry of Finance.

Everyone knows that if a regime's fiscal revenues and expenditures are supported only by the printing of money by banks, then there will not be many days, and the collapse of the financial system will directly lead to the consequences of its collapse.

Although the current situation is unfavorable, it can barely be maintained, and the Japanese government does not want such a thing to happen, counting on the Wang puppet government to be able to hold on and provide a large amount of resources for the war.

The Ministry of Finance of Wang's puppet government mainly relies on the Customs Department, the Tax Department, the Salt Affairs Department, the General Affairs Department, the Taxation Department, the Public Debt Department, the National Treasury Department, the Numismatic Department, and the Accounting Department.

The salt tax does not dare to say that it occupies half of the world's tax revenue, but at least it can occupy half of the world's tax revenue, and gives Chen Mingxiang the richest Jinling, Hushi, Suxichang and Zhenjiang areas, and Zhou Gaohai himself has to bear a lot of pressure, so he really can't do it anymore.

"What a rare guest, why does Brother Ma have time to come to me?" Chen Mingxiang said.

As the boss of the police department, his office hours are his own decision, even the Minister of the Interior Chen Qun can't ask, after sitting in the office for a while, he went home, but at a glance, in addition to Ding Mocun and his wife in the living room, Ma Xiaotian actually came.

"I'm going to attend a banquet held by Chairman Wang in a while, and I heard that the director is here, so of course I have to be on call at any time." Ma Xiaotian said with a smile.

At the secret service headquarters, Chen Mingxiang is the director of the inspection office and the head of the Shanghai Experimental Zone, which is the same as Ma Xiaotian's Jinling District head, Chen Mingxiang is the director of the special officer police, and Ma Xiaotian is a member of the military committee of the special officer, and he was awarded the rank of lieutenant general of the army, and the rank is also the same.

Ma Xiaotian said that he was a subordinate, referring to the Department of Investigation and Statistics, Chen Mingxiang, the inspector, who was in charge of the Supervision Office and the General Administration of the Political Police.

"Talk to your superiors and subordinates first, I'll go back to the ministry first, don't find anything for me." Ding Mocun stood up and said.

Chen Mingxiang is based in Shanghai, Ma Xiaotian is based in Jinling, there is very little contact between the two, there is not much friendship at all, Ma Xiaotian can come to visit, this must be for a reason.

"Brother Ma is going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, say, what are your orders?" Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.

"Don't you dare, I want to ask the director to help run the executive deputy director of the police department, instead of cheapening others, why not take care of the old subordinates? You can rest assured, the Superintendent of Police will always be surnamed Chen! Ma Xiaotian said.

Those who can make a name for themselves are all smart people, and they see that they will not be stationed in Jinling, and whoever becomes the executive deputy director is the actual person in charge of the police department.

"Everyone knows my situation, at most once a month, I come to Jinling, and the affairs of the department need to be signed and approved in Shanghai, so the executive deputy director is to grasp it, and I am not qualified to call the shots for this position, you might as well go to Chairman Wang if you look for me." Chen Mingxiang shook his head and said.

"Director, even if Chairman Wang agrees, he must first pass the review of the Mei Agency, Saito Dazuo is the key, if he doesn't agree, it will be no fun, everyone knows the relationship between you and the Mei Agency, as long as you say a word, Saito Dazuo will definitely consider it seriously." Ma Xiaotian hurriedly said.

This is the core value of the Department of Police, Chen Mingxiang, the director of the department, has the support of the Mei organ, he can't pass this pass, and it is useless to find Wang Jingwei.

The dignified No. 1 traitor, can't even a deputy director be in charge?

This is a layman, the key depends on what things are, for example, the chairman of the Soviet Province, the Mei organ wants Li Shiqun to do it, and Wang Jingwei will be honest and obedient to appoint him, this is the personnel power.

What is more sensitive is the police system, which is the top priority of the Japanese control, and some things can be compromised, which is related to the police and the army, and the Wang puppet government has no say at all.

Chen Mingxiang definitely didn't dare to confront Wang Jingwei's instructions head-on, but he had a good relationship with the Mei organ, and if he made trouble behind his back and made the Mei organ unhappy, if he didn't pass this appointment, it would be a big shame!

"The current executive deputy director, Sun Shengmin, is a close confidant of Minister Chen Qun, and I haven't considered whether to move him yet, the forces of the new government are not easy to provoke, and I can't offend people for this position." Chen Mingxiang said.

It seems that Ma Xiaotian has completely thrown himself into the mansion faction, otherwise it is impossible to jump out in a hurry to grab the position, the power of the secret service headquarters alone is not enough, to develop power in the police system, people are greedy and insufficient, Ma Xiaotian is like this, and Li Shiqun is also like this.

But Ma Xiaotian's behavior, Li Shiqun may not be too happy, of course, this is not a betrayal, who doesn't want to have more power, this is the basis of identity and status.

But the problem is that Ma Xiaotian and the mansion are eyebrow-raised, and their hands are still stretched out so long, which is equivalent to standing on their own, Li Shiqun is now in the mentality of being a soldier, how can he tolerate such a hidden danger?

This is a good opportunity, Ma Xiaotian is a valuable chess piece, and he is really capable, the military command and the central command in Jinling and Su Xichang and other places have suffered from him, if Li Shiqun moves him, he will be deaf and blind in Jinling and lose his sources.

"The police system is an important force in maintaining the rule and has always been controlled by the Japanese, and for this reason, Chairman Wang is also very dissatisfied, and now that the director has taken back power, how can he still put the executive deputy director in the hands of the new government?"

"Let's be honest with you, I had already reported this idea to Chairman Wang the night before yesterday, and he agreed that I would run for this position, as long as your side passed, this matter will be foolproof."

"You don't have any reliable people in your hands, we are all brothers from the secret service headquarters, and we know each other well, so it's better than those bigwigs squeezing people over, and you're not happy, aren't you?" Ma Xiaotian said.

knows that in addition to making money, Chen Mingxiang has no enthusiasm for the part-time position, similar to things like forming a gang to cultivate henchmen, which has nothing to do with him at all, which also leads to no available people in his hands.
