The treatment of public officials under Wang's puppet government is not much higher than that of the Shancheng government, not to mention, there is still a group of arrogant and domineering emperors with high military value squatting in their own territory.

Unfortunately, according to the regulations of the Ministry of Finance, government agencies use China Reserve Bills for paychecks, not fiat currency in circulation.

Although under the suppression of violent means, many firms also accept the China Reserve Bonds, it does not mean that they will be able to buy things with the China Reserve Bonds, and it is not so easy to shake the status of the fiat currency.

Naturally, senior and middle-level leaders don't worry about buying rice, but the largest number of small employees are stumped by this problem.

It is very difficult to find a job in Shanghai, if you give up public office, you may not be able to find a better job, but you can continue to work, this unlucky China Reserve will starve your family to death!

"What you said is indeed the actual situation, Zhou Gaohai of the Jinling government has communicated with the Mei organ on this issue, and is ready to adopt a public method to alleviate the grain shortage in Shanghai, and the grain committee under the executive yuan of the Jinling government is negotiating with the Shanghai municipal government to set up a Shanghai grain management committee, which is specifically responsible for the public work in Shanghai." Sunny Nakasa said.

After Chen Mingxiang arrived at the Suzhou office of the Qingxiang Committee, Li Shiqun was hospitable and arranged for him to go to the most luxurious local hotel, and all the food and lodging were paid for by the office.

That evening, Li Shiqun hosted a banquet for Chen Mingxiang at the largest restaurant in Suzhou, and there was also Qingqi Zhongzuo, who arrived yesterday, who belonged to the military adviser of the General Headquarters of the Dispatch Army to the Qingxiang Committee, and commanded and supervised the operation of the Qingxiang Committee on behalf of the Mei organ.

In order to buy the hearts of the people, the Wang puppet government was willing to perform public service functions and provide relief for the people's food, and decided to implement the public rice in the second half of the year, and the Shanghai market allocated 36,000 bales of rice, about 45,000 stones.

These rice are not local Jiangsu and Zhejiang rice, but imported foreign rice, mainly Siamese rice, Annam rice, Javanese rice, etc., because Jiangsu and Zhejiang rice were all taken away by the Japanese army as military rations.

It was also because of the plundering of the Japanese army that there were food shortages in various places, and the Wang puppet government had to take measures to wipe the ass of the Japanese army, so as not to shake the "foundation of rule".

In April alone, the Grain Management Committee of the Jinling Government imported 12,450 tons of foreign rice, and from April to June, it imported more than 7,000 tons, most of which were operated by Mitsui & Co. and other Japanese chaebol organizations.

"The price of grain has risen too fast, I feel a little incredible, just after the New Year, it was still 90 yuan a stone of rice, and now the black market has reached 240 yuan, and it is almost catching up with the loan sharks!" Chen Mingxiang deliberately provoked the topic.

Li Shiqun's greed is endless, and Ye Jiqing is also a woman who loves money like her life, so she will definitely be tempted by food, a material that can bring wealth.

The actions of the Qingxiang Committee in Jiangsu and Zhejiang just gave the opportunity to buy and sell grain, and the puppet army of Wang's puppet government, especially the tax police regiment and the local security forces, as well as the police station, undertook the task of looting grain and materials.

As the secretary general of the actual control of the Qingxiang Committee and the director of the secret service headquarters, Li Shiqun has the right to dispose of the materials in the Qingxiang, in other words, he has a large amount of grain in his hands.

"I heard the Navy is looking for you?" Qingqi Zhongzuo suddenly asked.

"Your Excellency Nakasa is very well-informed! According to General Kagesa's request, the smuggled materials of the Huatong Trading Company were greatly tilted towards the army, and of course the navy was not satisfied. Chen Mingxiang said.

This devil officer changed the topic at this moment, not to stop Chen Mingxiang and the Qingxiang Committee from privately trading grain, but to avoid suspicion, or to say that it would be more accurate to cover his ears and steal the bell.

It's not that things can't be done, just don't talk about this kind of thing in front of him, after all, this kind of behavior harms the interests of the imperial army.

Of course, Chen Mingxiang is sure that once the cooperation begins, Qingqi Zhongsa will turn a blind eye, no one will have trouble with money, and the Japanese are actually more greedy.

From the words of this devil, it can also be determined that there are people in the Mei Agency who are staring at the Kodama Agency, and they also know that the arrangements of the army will cause the anger of the navy.

"Jun Chen, you are a member of our army military police, you don't have to care too much about the opinion of the navy, since Your Excellency the general has made such a decision, if the navy dares to trouble you, this matter will naturally be solved by the General Headquarters of the Dispatch Army."

"The navy adheres to the strategy of southward expansion, which is also for the resources of Southeast Asia, half for the country, and generally for its own interests. But the key to achieving this goal lies in the army, and the aircraft carriers and cruisers they are proud of can't be driven to fight on land, right? ”

"In China, our army occupies most of the land and has obtained a lot of resources, but the navy can only stare dryly, and the navy of the Shancheng government is vulnerable, and they are anxious to advance south, and there are also reasons for this, which does not reflect the value of the navy." Sunny Nakasa said.

In the final analysis, it is a problem of uneven distribution of spoils, the territory occupied by the army, the resources must be biased towards their own country, and China is considered an oil-poor country at this time, and the harvest of the navy can only be described as clear soup and little water, and it can't eat much nutrition at all.

However, the strength of the Japanese navy ranked among the top in the world, and it did not take much effort to invade China, nor did it gain much benefit, so it put forward a strategy of southward expansion.

The Japanese Navy has surpassed the United States in the number and tonnage of warships in this local theater in the Pacific, because a large part of the US Navy's strength has been involved in the Atlantic.

The United Fleet has 10 battleships, the US Pacific Fleet has 9 battleships, the United Fleet has 10 aircraft carriers, the US Pacific Fleet has only three, the United Fleet has 38 cruisers, the US Pacific Fleet has only 20, the Combined Fleet has 112 destroyers, and the US Pacific Fleet has only 50.

The strategic decision of the United States was to put Europe first and then Asia, and to do everything possible to assist Britain and the Soviet Union in their fight against Germany.

As long as we gain a foothold in Southeast Asia, get the oil and steel we need for our survival, and wait until the U.S. government turns around and then deals with Japan, it is difficult to say what the outcome will be.

"Your Excellency Zhongzuo, I feel very strange, the empire's army and naval aviation are entering the stage of combat readiness one after another in order to advance southward, but according to the news from the merchants of the Jiang Tong District, the imperial aviation has carried out a large-scale bombing of the mountain city again, isn't this a pure waste of resources?" Chen Mingxiang said.
