Chapter 919: Conflicts of Interest Caused by the Anti-Smuggling Department

The headquarters of the Military Command Bureau is stationed.

Boss Dai has a toothache these days, of course, because of the control of the anti-smuggling department of the Ministry of Finance.

Relying on the inside line of the development of the Military Command Bureau in various ministries and institutes of the Shancheng government, Kong Xiangxi had just handed over the report to President Jiang on the front foot, and he got the news on the back foot. With a keen sense of smell, he immediately set his eyes on this piece of fat, and it was not ordinary fat, it was so fat!

"Boss, what do you think about this matter?" Mao Renfeng asked.

"The committee consulted Director Chen of the Second Division of the Attendant Office on this matter, and Director Chen said that the current smuggling situation within the national control area is very serious, from the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War to the present, rough statistics, the value of smuggled materials within four years is not less than one billion yuan, although it is necessary to establish a unified anti-smuggling agency."

"Unscrupulous businessmen took advantage of the lack of materials in the rear to smuggle cotton cloth, cotton yarn, flower gauze, hardware tools, western medicines, tires and other goods from the Shanghai market to the Guotong area, hoarding and driving up prices, causing prices to soar and inflation."

"There are also some scum in the armed forces who have conspired with these unscrupulous businessmen to wantonly sell strategic materials such as pig bristles, tung oil, tin ore, and tungsten ore to the Japanese at high prices for profiteering, and these activities have not only endangered economic stability and the image of the government, but also seriously damaged the progress of the anti-Japanese war work."

"There are many anti-smuggling agencies set up by the Shancheng government, the customs has an inspection office, the war zone has an inspection office, the Ministry of Finance, the Taxation Department, and the Salt Affairs Department all have inspection departments, and there are often several inspections of a batch of goods, and when something goes wrong, they pass the buck to each other, resulting in low work efficiency, and there are often lawless personnel who take the opportunity to extort money or force them to buy and sell, and some departments set up checkpoints without permission, and the situation of anti-smuggling work is extremely chaotic."

"There is no suspense about the establishment of the Anti-Smuggling Department, and when exactly it will be established, according to reliable sources, it may be after the Chinese New Year, and at present, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Military Affairs, the Committee for the Economic Blockade of the Enemy, the Central Unified Bureau, and our Military Unified Bureau are all staring at the candidates for the chief of the inspection department." Dai Li said.

That's why he has a headache, the amount of money involved in smuggling activities is too high, and it is a stable source of money that can be seen and felt. As the so-called interests are moving, no one will easily let go of this piece of fat.

As soon as the news of the establishment of the anti-smuggling department came out, all the ghosts and ghosts from all walks of life jumped out, wanting to take the post of director of the anti-smuggling department, and in the face of such a situation, he did not dare to say that he was absolutely sure, at least He Yingqin's military and political department was a great obstacle.

"The Anti-Smuggling Department should be a military establishment, right? It is reasonable for the Ministry of Military Affairs to be red-eyed, the Ministry of Finance, the Committee for the Economic Blockade of the Enemy, and the Central Bureau of Unification, what are they making a lot of? Mao Renfeng asked in surprise.

Anti-smuggling work involves the use of force, and it must be the military establishment, and institutions such as the administrative department and the Central Bureau of Statistics have to compete for it, this is not a joke!

"The anti-smuggling department is an office under the Ministry of Finance, of course, the people of the Ministry of Finance have to fight, and the rest of the institutions have seen the huge benefits brought by the anti-smuggling department, and they know that the director of the anti-smuggling department does not have their share, but they also want to stretch out their hands to the anti-smuggling department, purely to stir up the situation, and the crying child has milk to eat, what if they can arrange their own people in the anti-smuggling department?" Boss Dai said with a sneer.

Who doesn't know that anti-smuggling work is military in nature? Even if you know it, you have to work hard, such an important organization involves all aspects of its work, and it is not possible to eat alone, and without the cooperation of all forces, the work of the anti-smuggling department will not be carried out.

"What about Han Lin's secret service? With his connections, he must have also gotten the news that he didn't have time to fight for the last inspection office of the Transportation Control Bureau, and now that the Japanese army's strategic bombardment has ended, it has become an irregular bombardment, and he will not be tempted in the face of the fat of the anti-smuggling department, right? Mao Renfeng said.

"In fact, among these competing forces, what I'm most worried about is the secret service, if Han Lin robs him, I'm really not sure that I can rob him, like you said, he doesn't have such an important work to drag down now, and it's impossible to have no idea about the anti-smuggling department."

"Han Lin is now a person from the second department of the attendant's room, Director Chen, the top boss, will definitely support him, there is no doubt about it, you also know how much influence Director Chen has on the commission, he is almost obedient, Tang Zong has no weight to speak in the face of Director Chen."

"Han Lin has a close personal relationship with the Kong family, often mingles with Kong Xiangxi's two precious girls, and smuggles cotton yarn to the Kong family, at this time, as long as he finds the Kong family, Kong Xiangxi may also support him, so that our chances of winning are very small."

"This guy is really powerful, Kong Xiangxi's eldest lady is a lady who doesn't touch the spring water with ten fingers, she is beautiful and temperamental, but the second lady of his family is a clean street tiger, a ghost is worried, who sees who hides and walks, all day long, he can play together, it's incredible." Dai Li said.

The eldest lady doesn't like to meddle in things, and she never interferes in Kong Xiangxi's work, her social circle is very small, she is a typical lady, slim, graceful and luxurious, and there are many people who want to pursue her.

But this second lady, that is a demon king of the mixed world, likes to cause trouble the most, and has a perverse and moody personality, and few people can play with her.

Dai Li also thought about it, if Han Lin found the two young ladies of the Kong family to unite and intercede with Kong Xiangxi, Kong Xiangxi was afraid that he could only obey, especially the second young lady, who would not give up until she achieved her goal, and pointed fingers at Kong Xiangxi's work all day long, but Kong Xiangxi had no way at all.

"In other words, at present, the control of the Anti-Smuggling Department is contested by our Military Command Bureau, the Special Service Department, and the Ministry of Military Affairs. Mao Renfeng asked.

"The committee did not express its position, and I didn't dare to ask more questions before the matter became clear, after all, I had just taken over the Supervision Department of the Transport Control Bureau for half a year, and now I have to compete for the Anti-Smuggling Department of the Ministry of Finance, and I am too eager to behave, which may backfire." Dai Li said.

"If this matter is only fought over by our Military Command Bureau and the Secret Service, we are not absolutely sure, can the two cooperate? The director of the anti-smuggling department is Han Lin, and our Military Command Bureau has sent a director to serve as his deputy, and the proceeds of the anti-smuggling are divided in half. Mao Renfeng asked.

In the matter of the Supervision Department of the Transportation Control Bureau, Boss Dai personally came forward to communicate privately, Han Lin gave a lot of face and took the initiative to take a step back, this time let Han Lin take a step back, no matter how thick-skinned Boss Dai is, even if he doesn't want it, he can't say such a thing, this is not a personal relationship, it is a clear bully of the other party.

Therefore, he felt that it was possible to cooperate for a win-win situation, because the secret service started relatively late, and did not have the family foundation of the Military Command Bureau, and cooperation with the Military Control Bureau was also beneficial to the special service.

"No matter how generous the favor is, when it is exhausted, the Secret Service did not send someone to the Supervision Department, but we want to share the profits of the Anti-Smuggling Department with him, which is unreasonable and reasonable. Forget it, he hasn't come back in Shanghai, let's talk about it when he comes back! Boss Dai gritted his teeth and said.

After all, he was still reluctant to give up the huge interests of the Anti-Smuggling Department, and the key was that the personnel of the Military Control Bureau spent more money and more, and his finances were always in a stretched strait, and he spent most of his time looking for money, which made him physically and mentally exhausted, and gradually he could not hold on, and he could not give up this stable source of wealth.

Boss Dai thinks that Mao Renfeng's words are also reasonable, the work of the anti-smuggling department will inevitably offend people, who dare to engage in smuggling under layers of inspection? Who has no background or background, and some are even military and political officials of the Shancheng government, or theater commanders, provincial chairmen, and other figures, the most difficult thing is to enforce the law impartially, which is not even necessary to think about it, in the Shancheng government, human relations are the most important, and if you offend these people, you will inevitably suffer retaliation.

The secret service department resists by itself, it is better for the two families to join forces to resist together, and the big deal is that in order to compensate Han Lin, the Military Unification Bureau will have more resistance points.
