"Jun Chen, why do you have time?" Ono Nakasa was very happy to see Chen Mingxiang.

Chen Mingxiang came to the Marine Corps Headquarters to meet the opportunity, and he saw that there were more guards in front of the gate than usual, and the atmosphere inside was much more tense.

Inside, a group of officers and soldiers were training in the playground, and the officers who came and went also had extremely serious expressions, all of which indicated that something was going to happen.

The special cigarettes produced for the Marine Corps played a great role, and most of the officers could barely say hello to a smiling face when they saw Chen Mingxiang.

"Is there a big operation in the Marine Corps, it's so nervous, I don't know that I think it's going to war!" Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.

"That's not true, it's just a regular exercise, the Marine Corps stationed in Shanghai has no combat mission at the moment, and its combat effectiveness needs to rely on daily training to maintain its level." Ono said.

Paralyzed, believe you to hell!

"Chen Sang, you came just in time, I just wanted to call you." As soon as Nakajima Daisa came out of the corridor, he saw Chen Mingxiang.

"Your Excellency, is there anything I can do for you?" Chen Mingxiang asked.

"Now the food supply in Shanghai is relatively scarce, and the price is also rising again and again, and those dirt buns in the army are always troublesome for our navy, so please think of a way for me in terms of food."

"According to the number of 5,000 people to prepare, the standard amount of one liter of rice per person per day should be stored for at least one and a half months, and I will give you the price of one hundred fiat currency and one stone of rice." Nakajima said.

One liter of rice is 1.25 catties, and 5,000 people need 6,250 catties a day, and a month and a half and 45 days, that is, 281,250 catties, or about 140 tons, which is equal to 2,375 stone of rice.

According to the current grain prices in Shanghai, rice can reach 85 yuan per stone of legal currency, and the black market can reach 95 or 100 yuan of legal currency, with a total value of 237,500 yuan in legal currency.

"Your Excellency Dazuo, I'm afraid this matter is a little difficult, among the customers of Huatong Trading Company, there are relatively few people who do grain business, and one hundred and forty tons of rice can easily attract the attention of the army." Chen Mingxiang looked embarrassed.

"Let's go, Ono-kun, it's a little inconvenient to talk outside, let's talk slowly at your residence, this matter is very important." Nakajima said.

The Japanese army is going to attack the concession?

Chen Mingxiang saw the map on the table of Ono's residence, and this thought suddenly flashed.

This is a map of Shanghai, and the concession part has some arrows drawn with red pens, which seems to be the route of the Marine Corps' attack, in order not to make these two devils suspicious, he casually folded the map and put it aside, as if he didn't pay attention to this kind of thing.

"Chen Jun, regarding the issue of food, you must help Nakajima Daisa this time, please!" Onodakasa bowed.

"Since Nakajima Dazuo has made a request, as a friend, I will do my best to help, please give me a month, I will divide it into five batches from the acquisition station in Anhui Province, purchase and transport this batch of grain for you, and the Marine Corps will send ships directly to Anqing to pick up the goods, and then transport them to the Shanghai wharf, so that you can avoid the surveillance of the military police stationed in Shanghai." Chen Mingxiang said.

"Chen Jun, a month is too long, I need to complete the prescribed grain reserves before July 1, this is clearly required by the Military Command Department, please think of a way." Nakajima Osa was in a dilemma.

It's all the damned army, they rely on the dominance of the ground, they are very strict in the control of grain, especially rice, which belongs to the army, and the military police command is very strict in supervising the grain merchants, and the bulk trade is greatly hindered.

In fact, this is not the most severe time, and the people who enter and leave Shanghai will not be seized for the time being if they carry some food.

The supply of food to the Marines was often obstructed by the army gendarmerie, and the grain merchants contacted by the Huatong Trading Company used this method to purchase low-priced grain from areas outside Shanghai and sell it to the Marines at the market price in Shanghai.

Don't underestimate the more than 100 tons of rice, 20 standard bags per ton, 2,000 bags for 100 tons, the merchants of the Huatong Trading Company who are responsible for supplying grain to the Marine Corps do not have such courage, and they are afraid that the military police headquarters will find trouble for them, so they have to transfer grain from other cities.

"But the problem is, Your Excellency Dazuo, it's less than half a month before July 1st, and the time is too tight." Chen Mingxiang is more difficult than Nakajima Daisa.

But he was pondering in his heart that the Japanese Navy's military command department required the marines to complete the food reserves before July 1, which means that the matter must have happened in July.

You are paralyzed, there is a 77 incident that is not over, and you still have to prepare for war in July?

"In this way, you are responsible for the purchase of 100 tons of rice, and according to the method you said, I will immediately ask to send a ship to Anqing, and strive to complete this task by the end of June. Nakajima said.

A hundred tons of rice is not very important, the key is that Chen Mingxiang is a little confused about how this thing works.

"Your Excellency Dazuo, can you dial me a radio station, I need to contact the radio station of the Anhui Provincial Acquisition Station to start operating this matter as soon as possible?" Chen Mingxiang made a request.

"The radio station is a strictly controlled military material, and under normal circumstances, it cannot be approved for you, but this time the matter is special, I will immediately ask the warehouse to allocate you a radio station of the latest model, and record it in the intelligence department of the headquarters to give you special authorization, so that you are not afraid of someone looking for trouble."

"In addition, if your purchasing station is not well funded, you can let your purchasing staff go directly to the branch of Minhua Company in the head of the industry to withdraw it, and deduct it from the payment." Nakajima said.

This time, the old devil was really anxious, and even gave military equipment such as a radio, of course, this kind of thing also has to be divided into how to use it, who is using it, and the special high school class gave a radio station.

"Chen Jun, this is our latest secret radio station developed by the Japanese Empire, small in size and large in power, it is the most advanced military radio station in the world today, considering that this time it is of great help to the Marine Corps, and it is also a contribution to the Empire, I will give you two, one as a backup."

"However, you only have the right to use and keep it, and the ownership of the radio station still belongs to the intelligence department of the headquarters, and you can't take it out of Shanghai, otherwise once someone investigates it, even I can't resist it, which is already an exception." Ono said.

It's really dramatic, the special high class and the secret service headquarters check the radio station every day, but they get three from the Japanese in a grand manner, and it is possible to continue to obtain them in the future, isn't it a great irony?
