Li Junhao also personally received these two groups of people, and the other follow-up intercessors were blocked by the secretaries and assistants, and his current identity is not something that everyone can see, and he has no time and mood to deal with it.

When I woke up the next morning and looked at the calendar, it was already the sixth.

Li Junhao suddenly remembered one thing, that is, Germany's "yellow plan" to attack Western Europe, in the history of his previous life, Germany relied on this true and false plan to play Britain, France and other countries in the palm of his hand, concealing its real offensive goal and time, and achieving the purpose of surprise attack and blitzkrieg.

Come to think of it, the same should be true of this world. He was wondering, should he "predict" again? After thinking about it, he still decided to say it, which can be regarded as a reflection of his personal value as a naval intelligence officer!

Therefore, he sent a report to Deputy Secretary of State Ayers, who had already taken office, under the code name of "Donghai No. 1", and to the Naval Intelligence Bureau under the code name of "Eastwalker", explaining that Germany's "yellow plan" to attack the Netherlands and Belgium, which had now been mastered by Britain, France and other countries, was a hoax!

He "judged" that Germany's real target was Denmark, and that the specific launch time would be in the next few days, most likely on the ninth or tenth day...... The reason why there is no time to say death is, of course, to avoid being too shocking, and this kind of "predictive" intelligence, this accuracy is high enough!

As for how Ayers and Naval Intelligence will react after receiving this "prediction" from him, he doesn't bother to care, anyway, it will be confirmed soon, he is not in a hurry.

A few hours later, Ayres called back: "?!" "And the Directorate of Naval Intelligence did not hear back at all.

Li Junhao didn't care, and he didn't even reply to Ayers's questions, if you believe it, you can believe it, and if you don't believe it, there is no way, it didn't happen, and it's useless to say anything.

Fortunately, this is still a matter on the European battlefield, and it has little to do with the United States, and there is no American army on the front line.

In fact, he now hopes that the Sheng family brothers and sisters can understand his last words, and then surprise himself, it depends on whether they can give it or not! ——

On this day, there was really a surprise, and the Military Attache Office of the Consulate General informed him that he had received a report from the Asian Fleet that Shanghai had been identified as the fleet's second home port, and that the first batch of ships to be relocated had set sail from the Philippines and were expected to arrive in Shanghai in five days.

Well, not bad! Admiral Hart is still very powerful!

Li Junhao was very happy, and in this way, his plan for the defense of the Shanghai Sea was perfected a large piece.

On the same day, a lot of information about Europe also came, the most important news was that the German army had been assembled, and the defenders of the borders of France, Belgium, and the Netherlands had all been put into combat readiness...... Everyone knew that a large-scale war was about to break out.

Li Junhao doesn't know if the information he sent back to China has been taken seriously, and if it does, it should be notified to the British allies! Although the notice did not change much of the result, it could have a little effect, so that the countries of Western Europe could have more time, whether it was the transfer of property or the evacuation of the government, and they could have two more days of time.

However, these things naturally have those people in the country to worry about, so he should take care of the concession!

——

Li Junhao issued an official order to the police station and all units to raise the security level of the concession to the level of three (alert) from 7 a.m. on the 9th to maintain the daily order in the concession.

According to the plan that has been drawn up, the public security and security intensity of the concession area is divided into five levels: ordinary, strict, alert, combat readiness, and wartime, which correspond to different states of force and control intensity, and complete plans and procedures have been prepared, and each ministry has examples to follow, which can be quickly implemented in place.

Then, he issued instructions to the People's Livelihood Committee to strengthen the supervision of the market from now on, ensure the supply of rice, grain, coal, and daily necessities, and severely crack down on profiteers who go against the wind.

In addition, he asked the Ethnic Affairs Commission to cooperate with the Civil Court to formally handle the monopoly case of the Coal Association before the Spring Festival, and to be reasonable and well-founded, and to deal with it seriously in accordance with the "Regulations on the Administration of Industry and Commerce in the Concessions."

——

During this period of time, because of the strength of the Ministry of Industry and Bureau of the Concession, the Rice Industry Association has already bowed its head and admitted defeat, and under the guidance of the grain management office, it has increased the supply to the market, which has gradually suppressed the price of rice and grain.

There are many reasons here, the most important is that the strong actions of the concession police station and the military have frightened the rice grain merchants, and even Wan Molin, the chairman of the Rice Industry Association, does not dare to provoke a confrontation, for fear that he will be caught and targeted by the tough Commander Pan Sen.

Now the price of rice has dropped to 47 yuan / quintal, this price still seems to be quite high, but in fact, it is not, because the depreciation of the fiat currency is extremely fast, the current 47 yuan is actually equivalent to about 30 yuan in the same period last year, the price of rice is really parity, and it is unfair to grain merchants to lower it.

Li Junhao's purpose is to stabilize the market, not to make businessmen unprofitable. Therefore, he was very satisfied with the interest of the Rice Industry Guild this time, and even released hundreds of Qing Gang members who committed minor crimes when Wan Molin came to intercede on behalf of Du Yuesheng, giving Du Tycoon a face.

However, now that the problem of the depreciation of the fiat currency is becoming more and more serious, he has entrusted the professors of the Department of Economics of Fudan University to conduct research and discussion, and strive to come up with a solution as soon as possible, without any further delay, otherwise it will affect the operation of industry and commerce in the concession and the lives of ordinary citizens.

——

Compared with the interest of the Rice Industry Association, the Coal Industry Association chose to resist hard, and even the three Japanese directors led by the three Japanese directors strongly rejected the compromise requirements of the three Chinese directors, claiming to stick to the end, after all, they had to stock up on the means of reluctant to sell before, and it was not a big deal not to move for a few months......

That being said, in fact, the representative of Mitsubishi Gas Corporation, which occupies the dominant position, is bitter! This was not what he meant at all, but the request of the military and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs - not to bow to the concession authorities, so as not to damage the majesty of the Japanese side! For this kind of bullshit request, the representative of Mitsubishi Gas could not refuse, so he could only grit his teeth and admit it.

The problem is that the Japanese side wants to delay time, and the concession side doesn't want to! Now that the winter has passed, and the amount of coal used by the citizens has been greatly reduced, the cheap coal provided by Chief Pan Sen is very stable, and it is time to deal with the problems of the Coal Association once and for all.

Now that Chief Pan Sen has made it clear that the Ethnic Affairs Commission and the Coal Management Institute must resolutely implement it, therefore, after the criminal court, the civil court has also begun to "operate", and the first case heard is the coal monopoly case!
