If you are not afraid of not knowing the goods, you are afraid of comparing the goods, and the comparison between the Military Control Bureau and the Secret Service Office is becoming more and more obvious in President Jiang's heart, and the gap between the two sides cannot be calculated.

Han Lin's military intelligence agency obtained intelligence, carried out guerrilla warfare, robbed the Japanese army's military rations, and also blew up the commander of the 13th Army of the Japanese Army, Army Lieutenant General Sawada Shigeru, which is a great credit, but the performance of the Military Command Bureau made President Jiang angry, and he was irritable, so he naturally would not give Dai Li a good face.

Under Dai Li's management, the Military Command Bureau has developed very rapidly, its organization has expanded dramatically, its influence has radiated to Southeast Asia, and even the United States has an intelligence station, with an astonishing number of 20,000 official establishments, and there are more than 30,000 loyal and righteous National Salvation Army guerrillas, and the annual budget is as much as 10 million legal currency.

President Chiang's preference for the Military Command Bureau is obvious to all, but Dai Li and the Military Command Bureau did not give him face, if it were not for President Chiang's need for the Military Command Bureau to deal with the underground party, monitor the dynamics of the army, and maintain his own rule, it would not be as simple as getting out of the official residence.

"Director, I received a secret report from the investigators of the Anti-Smuggling Bureau, the Military Control Bureau is working with Boss Du to set up a Tongji company to engage in smuggling and trading with illegal businessmen in the occupied areas, the current scale of the Military Control Bureau is too large, and the number of personnel is amazing, which has also caused disadvantages to its own operation, and the funds only rely on appropriation, which is not enough to bear the expenses, I estimate that he will soon find me." Han Lin said.

"I know this matter has embarrassed you, but the Military Command Bureau has the necessity of their existence, and you know this better than me, the government's finances are currently in the most difficult period, and it is impossible to give the Military Command Bureau too much money, and they are self-reliant, which also reduces the burden on the Ministry of Finance."

"The checkpoints of the Freight Preparation Department and the Anti-Smuggling Department inspect the goods entering and exiting the Military Control Bureau, keep them on file in detail and report them in a timely manner, and turn a blind eye to other problems!" Chen Yanji also felt helpless.

Although the nature of the two is similar, the special service is a military intelligence department, and the military control bureau is a special service agency, but their actual operation is very different.

To put it simply, it involves the gathering of military intelligence and guerrilla warfare, including military law and discipline and law enforcement, and this is the work of the special services.

It is the job of the Military Administration to monitor the officials and generals of the Yamashiro government, to monitor the movements of the princes from all walks of life, and the ideological dynamics of the army, including the infiltration of the underground party.

The reason why Chen Yanji was helpless was that he knew very well in his heart how much President Chiang paid attention to the work of spies, and the Shancheng government could never do without the Military Command Bureau, even if the Military Command Bureau had no achievements in the war against Japan, and with tens of millions of funds, it only had two or three thousand pieces of intelligence a year, and there was very little information that could really be useful, and President Chiang still had to support the Military Command Bureau.

The secret service was established late, and Han Lin did not like to grasp the beard and eyebrows, specializing in military and international intelligence, and only began to conduct military operations in the past two years, and his strength in the army was weak and could not meet President Jiang's requirements, so the special service could not replace the Military Command Bureau, and similarly, the Military Command Bureau could not replace the special service department.

The Shancheng government set up the Military Command Bureau, and its declared institutional functions were to collect military, enemy and pseudo, overseas, economic intelligence, and counter-espionage work.

"During this period of time, Colonel Smith, the representative of the US Naval Intelligence Agency, and I simply came up with a plan for the cooperation between the two sides, and the US Navy is willing to train two guerrilla forces of two US infantry divisions for my guerrilla command, which is about 30,000 people."

"To train 10,000 special operations personnel and technicians in intelligence and operations, and to train necessary logistical support units, medical, transportation, arsenals, ordnance repair shops, automobile repair shops, and so on, at least 5,000 or 6,000 people, a total of 50,000 people."

"The US Naval Intelligence Agency is responsible for providing training personnel, weapons and ammunition, combat materials, vehicles, medicines, and so on, even so, the establishment of 50,000 people, the military salary is in accordance with the treatment of the Central Army, and the military intelligence department does not comply with the national salary standard, and 2 million is not enough, which is 24 million."

"The necessary living expenses in January, just the rice for eating, the price of rice in the mountain city is 340 yuan per 100 catties, and it takes at least 2 million yuan to buy it in rice-producing areas like Jiangsu and Zhejiang, not counting green vegetables, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and the rice problem will cost 24 million a year."

"There must also be a full set of beds and bedding, military uniforms, military hats, military shoes, belts, underwear, underwear and socks, daily necessities, toothpaste, toothbrushes, soap, towels, this is also the minimum standard required by the Americans, even lunch boxes they support, we can't embarrass ourselves too much, according to the current prices, this is 10 million is not necessarily enough."

"I know that our secret service still has some sources of income, the residences and camps of American instructors, I will figure out a way, but I can't afford such an amazing funding, in the first year, it will cost 60 million yuan, and in the second year, it may be reduced, if the Ministry of Finance has difficulties, I propose to reduce the scale of cooperation and double it."

"In addition, the addition of 10,000 special operations personnel and technicians, all of which are in the establishment of the special services, which requires appropriation from the president's special expenses, on the one hand, the expenses of the Military Command Bureau, and on the other hand, the expenses of the special services, and I don't know how to mention it to the president." Han Lin said.

He had two purposes: first, to blow the wind on the matter of cooperation, so that President Chiang and the Shancheng government could be psychologically prepared, and second, to use the cooperation between the secret service and the Americans to further attack the source of income of the Military Administration.

President Chiang allocated funds to the Military Command Bureau from his special expenses, but the military expenses of my new personnel must also have a source, and I and the Secret Service must not bear the burden, we spend money, and the Secret Service is not the Ministry of Finance or the Central Bank.

At present, the finances of the Shancheng government are only solved by printing fiat currency, which is a vicious measure to quench thirst, and President Chiang knows about this, so he uses the $500 million in US aid to recycle fiat currency to increase gold reserves and prevent the value of fiat currency from collapsing.

The sudden increase in the cost of so much money is a great pressure on the fiscal side, not that you can print money without limits if you have a money printing machine, and the number of money printed by the Ministry of Finance in January has reached 3.5 billion, but even so, the money is becoming more and more insufficient.

The more money is printed, the more it depreciates, the more inflation becomes, and money is not money, but waste paper.

He knew that President Chiang would never be able to refuse the temptation of 30,000 U.S. troops and 10,000 spies, but the United States used its own resources to help the Shancheng government train military forces. I can't even dream of it!

As far as the current situation is concerned, the part of the expeditionary force that has arrived in India has not yet begun to be reorganized, and the Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Beijing-Shanghai-Hangzhou regions are the elite areas, and there is a guerrilla unit with all US weapons and equipment to fight, which will be of great help in the war of resistance, and the two US infantry divisions will also pose a great threat to the Japanese army.

President Jiang, as the head of the Shancheng government, has a special fee in his hand, but it is not how much he wants, he has to consider the actual ability of the Ministry of Finance to pay, the more he spends, the more money the Ministry of Finance will print, and the greater the impact on the value of the fiat currency, Han Lin's strategy is very simple, put the situation in front of you, it depends on how you choose.
