On 14 September, the War Department of Japan's wartime base camp made preparations for forcibly stationing in the army, and ordered Lieutenant General Toshiyoshi Ando, commander of the South China Front, to set the time for entering the northern part of French Indochina after 0:00 on 22 September, and to exercise force if the French Indochinese army resisted during the station.

On the 17th, the above-mentioned entry date was changed to 0:00 on the 23rd.

After more than 10 days of negotiations, the French Vichy government finally agreed that at 7:30 a.m. on 23 September, when Japanese troops could be stationed in northern Vietnam, at midnight on 23 September, Akito Nakamura's Fifth Division, under the command of Major General Kyoji Tominaga, chief of operations of the Army General Staff Headquarters, and Kenri Sato, deputy chief of staff of the South China Front, crossed the border and forcibly entered the area without authorization.

Kyoji Tominaga was the chief of operations of the army staff headquarters, under the staff system of the Japanese army, he had extraordinary power, he refused orders from the base camp, but Lieutenant General Ando Toshiyoshi was kept in the dark, and when he wanted to stop the military stationing, it was too late, and the 5th Division and the French garrison entered a combat state and could no longer withdraw from the battlefield.

At 1:25 p.m. on the afternoon of the 25th, the troops of the Fifth Division captured Lang Son and achieved the predetermined goal, the Fifth Division was killed by the French 71 people, 230 wounded, a French brigadier general and brigade commander killed, hundreds killed, and more than 200 captured.

"As you said, Japan has taken this step and stationed its forces in the northern part of the French Indochina region, and I have received a notification from the Naval Intelligence that the U.S. government has decided to stop exporting scrap iron to Japan, and has approved a loan of $25 million to the Yamashiro government in October, with tungsten ore as security. The British government has also decided to fulfill the agreement to close the Yunnan-Burma Highway for three months and reopen it on October 18. Smith said.

The US Government has always paid close attention to the development of the situation in the Far East and has a high degree of vigilance against Japan's strategy of advancing southward; when Japan took the first step, it substantially threatened the interests of Europe and the United States in Southeast Asia, and did not hesitate to adopt economic sanctions.

This time, the U.S. government put scrap iron, a strategic material that Japan needs most, on the embargo list, but it did not restrict oil, probably because it did not want to provoke Japan, and the two sides immediately broke out into war.

Although the British government felt that it was being played by Japan, the French Indochina region, bordering British Burma, still admitted the agreement signed before, and the three-month period expired, and it was not renewed.

"The financial situation of our Shancheng government is very bad, these two and a half million US dollars will help us very little, and the Shancheng government needs more loans, maintain the value of the fiat currency, and purchase more strategic materials for the war of resistance." Han Lin said.

"Naturally, the Naval Intelligence Agency will give you more leverage, and you privately inform the Yamashiro government that the U.S. government is ready to assist the Yamashiro government with a $100 million loan next year, on the same terms as before, but the time for the election has come, and President Roosevelt must complete his re-election before he can push for the approval of these two loans. In fact, there are no big variables in this election, and all aspects of President Roosevelt's work are highly affirmed. Smith said with a smile.

Han Lin has provided many times of immeasurable strategic intelligence for the US Naval Intelligence Agency, the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the government, and has made great contributions to the United States' grasp of the real-time dynamics in Europe and Japan.

"Thank you to the Naval Intelligence Agency for your help to me, your support is very timely, the embargo on scrap steel to Japan is equivalent to hitting a snake and hitting seven inches, choking Japan's neck, I think, the Japanese government will soon start negotiations with the US government." Han Lin said.

"The US Government will not compromise with Japan, since it has crossed our bottom line, the US Government's attitude will only become tougher, and in order to protect the US colonies in Southeast Asia and safeguard the interests of European and American countries, we will not be afraid of a war with Japan." Smith said.

After Smith left, Han Lin immediately asked Li Peiyue to send these key pieces of information to the second division of the chamberlain's room immediately, and it was immediately when the Ministry of Finance set up an anti-smuggling department, and he relied on the news from the United States to provide key information to the Shancheng government, and President Jiang would naturally look at it differently, and when he finished dealing with the Tianma explosion case, he should go to Shancheng to carry out activities.

The most important source of financial resources of the Military Control Bureau comes from the Anti-Smuggling Administration of the Ministry of Finance, which is now called the Anti-Smuggling Department, and he must take this position this time to cut off the important financial resources of the Military Control Bureau and curb the expansion of the power of the Military Control Bureau.

"Director Chen called back, saying that you have made a breakthrough in your contacts and negotiations with US diplomatic institutions in Shanghai, and that the top-secret information you have provided is very important for the Shancheng government to control the international situation, and he will ask for credit for you."

He also said that after Minister Kong's proposal, the Ministry of Finance intends to set up an anti-smuggling department to unify the command of anti-smuggling work throughout the country, and the committee has formally solicited the opinions of the second division of the chamberlain on the establishment of this agency, which may be implemented by the end of the year.

"Director Chen said that anti-smuggling work is one of the most important functions of the special service, and the Military Control Bureau has already begun to carry out activities. More than half an hour later, Li Peiyue walked into the office with a message.

When the Transportation Control Bureau of the Military Commission was established, President Jiang originally wanted Han Lin to be the director of the Supervision Division, but Han Lin refused, and he was busy dealing with the Japanese army's strategic bombing, and it ended up in the hands of Dai Li and the Military Control Bureau.

Although Chen Yanji was asking for Han Lin's opinion, he also expressed his intention to support Han Lin as the director of anti-smuggling, otherwise there was no need to say it so bluntly.

"When you reply to Director Chen, you will say that I thank him for his timely reminder, and I hope to seize this opportunity to take up the post of Director of the Anti-Smuggling Division of the Ministry of Finance, and I would like to ask Director Chen to convey my wishes to the commission." Han Lin thought for a while and said.

"Boss, this time the position of the anti-smuggling director of the Ministry of Finance, since it can be specifically mentioned by a big man like Director Chen, it must be very important, the gold content is quite high, Boss Dai will definitely refuse to let go, what do you think we have a chance of winning?" Li Peiyue asked.

"Of course, he can't let go, but this position, I am absolutely impossible to concede, everyone competes according to their ability, as for the odds of winning, I must at least have ninety percent, too much power is in the hands of the Military Command Bureau, and it is not necessarily a good thing, the commission likes to balance the most, the power of the Secret Service is not enough to restrain the Military Command Bureau, wait and see, I am determined to win this opportunity!" Han Lin said.

The personnel power to appoint the director of the anti-smuggling department of the Ministry of Finance is naturally in the hands of President Jiang, and this appointment can have an impact on President Jiang, except for Chen Yanhe is Kong Xiangxi, Chen Yanhe has made it clear that he wants to support himself, Kong Xiangxi has no reason to object, and then look for his two precious daughters, plus President Jiang has always favored him, Boss Dai has little chance of winning.

Speaking of which, he is a subordinate of Chen Yanji in the second division of the attendant room, and the secret service is also a subordinate organization of the second division of the attendant room, so it is impossible for Chen Yanji to support Dai Li. He has a close personal relationship with the Kong family, and the matter of cotton yarn also helped the Kong family carry the black pot, and the time has come for Kong Xiangxi to return the favor, and Kong Xiangxi and Dai Li do not have much friendship.

As long as these two people are dealt with, Boss Dai will have no drama to sing, Song Ziwen, whom he relies on, is in the United States, and Han Lin jumped out to fight, Song Ziwen can only help no one, Hu Brown Nan and Tang Anthra Bo can't help, He Yingqin doesn't get involved in the affairs of the Ministry of Finance, unless President Jiang himself changes his mind, but this situation almost does not exist, and checks and balances are the most important.
