"Sakamoto-kun, the purpose of my visit to Anhui Province this time is very simple, mainly two things, the first is to go to the Qiaocheng Tobacco Factory to see, last year because of the drought in Henan Province caused by the famine, tobacco production directly affected the production, and now it is finally recovered, the tobacco factory needs to work overtime."

"The second is to go to the head of the world, where is an important link in smuggling, not only tung oil, lacquer, cowhide and pig bristles from Jiangxi Province and Hunan Province, tobacco leaves and other goods from Henan Province, but also cotton yarn, cotton cloth, Western medicine, hardware tools, industrial machinery, steel and so on in Shanghai and Suzhou, Xichang and other places."

"I was entrusted by the headquarters of the 13th Army to provide strategic materials for the imperial army, but the situation in Shanghai was very troublesome, cotton cloth and cotton yarn were monopolized by Japanese merchants, and smuggling transactions with Chiang Tong District became increasingly difficult, so I had to use the head of the border as an important source of goods." Chen Mingxiang said.

Dealing with the gendarmerie from the beginning of the hidden mission, of course he knows how to chat with the gendarmerie people, these ruthless and cruel **** elements, as long as they hear that they are serving the empire and serving the imperial army, they will immediately have a much more enthusiastic attitude, of course, the premise is that you have such qualifications.

Of course he has this qualification, and even said that no one is more qualified than him!

As a professional smuggler trained by the Gendarmerie Headquarters for many years, Chen Mingxiang's image has been firmly engraved in the mind of every Japanese military policeman, although most people do not know him, as long as the Huatong Trading Company and his name are mentioned, it is easy to say anything.

As the war lasted longer and longer, Japan inevitably fell into a situation of economic collapse and soaring prices, and the field troops could only make money by robbing, but the Japanese military police were different, and their own treatment was several times higher than that of ordinary soldiers, and many families relied on the salaries of these soldiers to survive.

The Japanese military police in central China are well-known in the entire Japanese army gendarmerie system for their generous treatment, and the key is to have Chen Mingxiang's dividends and benefits, so that those who are officials can eat meat, and those who are soldiers can also drink soup.

The standard of food for ordinary gendarmes is comparable to that of middle-level officers in field troops, and there are free tea and cigarettes, and all kinds of subsidies are more than enough to live in the station, and they can't spend their salaries at all, so they all send them home to subsidize their families.

Being able to improve the welfare of subordinates is also a means for officers to show their prestige, and it is the most effective means, from this point of view, Chen Mingxiang's actions are equivalent to benefiting from top to bottom, and it is not surprising that he is very influential in the gendarmerie.

"You are very right, the smuggling situation of the head of the world is very difficult to control, the strength of the gendarmerie is limited, the field troops are not good at doing such things, the army of the Jinling government is simply colluding with the smugglers, even if the Shanghai market is so tightly blocked, there is still a large amount of material resources continue to be sent to the head of the world."

"But it's a border area, I can't give you any protection, everything needs to be careful, of course, as long as you take out the banknotes, there is no danger to resist this kind of protection, the nearby mountain city government army, in fact, is the biggest protection for smuggling, and the price of the goods is clearly marked, everything can be negotiated for money." Sakamoto Nakasa said with a smile.

He is not really worried about Chen Mingxiang's safety, Huatong Trading Company and the Military Command Bureau of the Shancheng Government are old relations, and the cumulative transaction volume is as high as several billion yuan, and after many years of close cooperation, the Military Command Bureau cannot let Chen Mingxiang have an accident no matter what.

Besides, the commander of the 31st Group Army, who was stationed in Moling, had a very close relationship with Dai Li of the Military Command Bureau, and the special high school had already had information on this.

"If it weren't for the empire opening up the battlefield in Southeast Asia, with the performance of the Yamashiro government, I'm afraid the war would have ended long ago, and the government officials were corrupt, even the army was corrupt, how could such an opponent resist His Majesty the Emperor's warriors?" Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.

Chen Mingxiang also knew that what this devil officer said was the truth, the key is that the military salary of the Shancheng government is a bit anxious, and the treatment of the army is not high, and the depreciation of the legal currency is very fast, so the old man of the Shancheng government specially approved the local garrison to smuggle business to raise military salaries.

Although this will lead to the flow of resources into the occupied area, it seems to be a bit of a drink to quench thirst, but in Chen Mingxiang's view, such a move by the Shancheng government army also has some positive effects in this special period, at least it can make the officers and soldiers reach the level of food and clothing, which is much better than frantically squeezing the common people, right?

The key point is that the 31st Group Army in Moling performed well in the battle against the Japanese invaders, especially in the Battle of Southern Henan in the Fifth Theater and the 11th Army of the Japanese Army, inflicting heavy losses on the Japanese army.

He rushed to Qiaocheng Tobacco Factory by car, with the resumption of supply of tobacco leaves in Xuchang, the output of the tobacco factory has also increased greatly, and the output in January can reach thousands of boxes, that is, more than two million packs, and a profit of several million yuan.

Half of the cigarettes produced here are sold to the national control area, and the other half are supplied to North China and outside the Guanxi region, and the tobacco factories in Shanghai are for the central China region.

In fact, Chen Mingxiang came to Qiaocheng to make a show, there is an experienced former British American Tobacco professional manager in charge, and the tobacco factory does not have to worry about tobacco leaves and sales, there is nothing to inspect.

"Bureau, according to the news from Qiaocheng, Chen Mingxiang of Huatong Trading Company has arrived at Qiaocheng Tobacco Factory and may arrive at the head of the industry this afternoon." Pan Qiwu reported.

Chen Mingxiang didn't know that Boss Dai had arrived in Moling yesterday and secretly met with Commander Tang, this arrangement was a common security measure, and the boss's itinerary was only known to Pan Qiwu, the chief secretary of the Special Technical Cooperation Institute, and any information that the outside world had learned was a smokescreen that was deliberately released.

The special technical cooperation institute has a training course in Moling, and the head of the industry is an important smuggling and distribution center, and the Military Command Bureau also has a special intelligence group here.

In fact, Wu Gengshu is also at the head of the world, he has an action team from the Military Control Bureau, which is responsible for the vigilance of Boss Dai, but except for him, the rest of the people don't know that the boss is coming to the head of the world.

"Okay, he came early, I can talk to the only strategic agent of our Military Command Bureau tonight, this little guy is my student, but the head teacher has not seen him, I finally make up for this regret, you brought all his medals and commendation orders, right?" Dai Li said with a smile.

Just like the old man's feelings for the Whampoa Military Academy, Dai Li also has very special feelings for the students of the special training classes of the Military Command Bureau, and these students are also his future capital in the Shancheng government, especially outstanding students like Chen Mingxiang.
