The so-called Huazhong Salt Co., Ltd., also known as Huazhong Salt Co., Ltd., is a subsidiary of the Japanese national policy enterprise Huazhong Revitalization Co., Ltd., and is also the control agency for the distribution and sales of salt in the entire Central China region, and controls the most important Lianghuai salt works.

On the surface, the total share capital of 5 million yuan in this company, which was established on August 1 of the 28th year of the Republic of China, was half of that of Japanese businessmen and the puppet government, but in fact it was completely controlled by Japanese businessmen.

After the establishment of the Wang puppet government, in order to meet its own financial needs, Zhou Gaohai proposed to the Japanese side to obtain the salt management rights of the Lianghuai salt farm, and the puppet Ministry of Finance supported the old salt merchants, and established the Yuhua Salt Industry Company in September of the 30th year of the Republic of China, officially began to operate salt sales, and collected salt taxes.

"Please don't mind, I'm also overwhelmed by what happened during this time, Mr. Kudo also knows that I have a lot of part-time jobs in the Imperial Agency in Shanghai and the Jinling Government, but in fact, I am still a businessman at heart."

"Monopoly has always concentrated the wealth of the industry in the hands of a few people, and no one else can interfere, in fact, as far as I am concerned, I don't want to be enemies everywhere, but I have no choice." Chen Mingxiang said.

"Of course, I am clear about what happened recently between you and the United Coal Engine, and I agree with your statement, as a businessman will think so, everyone wants the most share and the greatest benefit."

"But for us in Central China Salt Co., Ltd., the demand for salt in Shanghai is only about 3,000 tons, and there is no problem for Mr. Chen, and we are considering the gap in the entire Central China region."

"According to the results of the talks between the Xingyayuan and the Jinling government, at least 90,000 tons of salt should be distributed every year in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui, that is, 7,500 tons per month. Kudo Kiyoshi said.

The population of the three provinces of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Anhui is more than 36 million, and if we follow the minimum line of one pound of salt per month, it is more than 18,000 tons per month, or 216,000 tons of salt a year, but the Japanese have directly compressed it to 90,000 tons, a difference of 126,000 tons of salt, which shows their vicious and brutal behavior.

"It's a good thing, I don't have any opinion on being able to serve the imperial side, but Mr. Kudo also knows that my fleet is not so convenient, originally it was just smuggling materials for the imperial army in central China, but now, I still have to transport coal for Shanghai, and I also have to deliver strategic materials to the Kwantung Army outside the Guandong, I am afraid of delaying your business." Chen Mingxiang said.

"In order to show the sincerity of cooperation with Mr. Chen, I will reveal a top secret to you in advance, I hope you will not leak it, the imperial government will convene the eighty-first imperial meeting on November 8, and decide to adjust the strategy against the Jinling government in January next year."

"Our Central China Salt Industry Co., Ltd. will not be an imperial enterprise from next year, and all salt affairs will be transferred to the Jinling government for management, and the enterprise will also be sold to the Ministry of Finance of the Jinling government at a discount."

"Not only the salt industry, but all the material control power must be responsible to the Jinling government, the concessions in various places must be returned to the administrative power, the factories under the military management of the imperial army must be returned, and your fleet only needs to undertake the transportation task for us until January." Kudo Kiyoshi said.

Chen Mingxiang felt like his head had exploded, what did these words mean, he was 100% sure that the Japanese invaders had given up their direct interests and turned to the hands of Wang's puppet government to obtain resources for themselves, which was an obvious signal!

Japan's potential to deal with this war is exhausted and it can no longer hold on!

Central China Promotion Co., Ltd. is a national policy enterprise set up in China in Japan, and its status is very special, and it must have been notified by the Japanese government in advance.

The important decision must have been discussed in advance by the cabinet and the military department, and the so-called imperial meeting is just a formality, and Chen Mingxiang himself judged that there should be no problem with the accuracy of these pieces of information.

The point is that one foot into November, there will be a meeting in a few days, there is no need to hide it, businessmen are not the army after all, look at Taiji Ota, he must have known these news, but he didn't mention a word!

Huazhong Salt Industry Co., Ltd., but it controls the salt sales in the entire Central China region, and also shoulders the task of plundering the Lianghuai Salt Works to deliver raw salt to Japan.

The return of factories and the return of the power to control materials are all tricks, and Chen Mingxiang is concerned that the Japanese government wants to abolish the concessions, which is another proof of this.

"Are you crazy? What kind of happy thing happened to make you so out of shape? Wang Zhen's face was like a peach blossom at the moment, and she asked with surprise and curiosity, well, her lips seemed to be a little abnormal at the moment.

Chen Mingxiang didn't answer, hurriedly opened the door of the wine cabinet, took out the red wine and poured two glasses, handed Wang Zhen a glass, and then took the initiative to raise a glass and touch it, and then drank it all in one gulp.

"I said, you have recorded that it is a top secret that the Japanese government will hold an important meeting on November 8 and make a major strategic adjustment in January next year, judging that its domestic war resources have reached the limit. First, return the administrative power of the concession, second, transfer the power of material control, and third, return the military management factory, the last four words, the dawn has appeared! Chen Mingxiang said.

"Really, it's really good, I finally see that hope is coming, I will send a telegram to the bureau headquarters immediately, and Boss Dai and the committee will be very happy!" Wang Zhen was so excited that he almost jumped up.

Although I don't know when the war ended, this good news can definitely play an exciting role in encouraging the anti-Japanese people of the mountain city government, no matter how difficult it is, holding on is victory!

"I want to confirm again, go to Jinling as soon as possible, help me prepare two million Chinese reserve bonds, I have to visit Zhou Gaohai, he must know a lot of useful information in his mouth." Chen Mingxiang said.

"Aren't you going to Kanwai?" Wang Zhen asked.

"How can I be in the mood to go outside the gate now, first make sure that these news is the point, you see, not long after the telegram was sent, Boss Dai will ask me to carefully investigate the inside situation." Chen Mingxiang said.

When the Japanese government makes such a decision, it must communicate with the Wang puppet government in advance, at least with a clear intention, and Zhou Gaohai naturally cannot escape from the Wang puppet government who is qualified to participate in the secret talks.

Chen Mingxiang is also very curious, he can see that Japan is now in decline, and a veteran politician like Zhou Gaohai must also have such a judgment, what direction should the next road go?

"The value of this information is immeasurable, I will immediately report to the official residence of the commission, although we will still face the threat of the Japanese army for a long time, but after all, we see hope, the United States participated in the Pacific theater, and it really played a role."

"The war situation in the South Pacific is unfavorable, and the Japanese government wants to consolidate its own occupied areas, tie the Wang puppet government to its own chariot, and provide resources for their aggression. Dai Li said.
