The sub-districts and local stations of the Military Command Bureau are the backbone of the entire framework, and their status is very special, and the power and identity of the station chiefs are, in a sense, much stronger than those of the division chiefs of the headquarters.

Other station chiefs and district chiefs use their own resources to manipulate the entire local station, and their role is to sit in command, and specific things are handled by their subordinates, playing the role of making decisions, but the direct station is just the opposite.

The nature of this station was originally relatively simple, that is, the local station specially reserved by Boss Dai to assist Chen Mingxiang, and the core task was to serve Chen Mingxiang's mission.

In the past two years, the subordinate station has expanded dramatically in central China, becoming two intelligence departments at one time, and even extending its influence to Guanwai and North China.

Strictly speaking, these four departments are heavily dependent on the direct subordinate stations or Chen Mingxiang to have their current scale and status, and they are stained with Chen Mingxiang's light.

"As the stationmaster of the direct station, I have the responsibility to provide such an environment for my subordinates to increase loyalty and cohesion, and besides, I have not benefited from it, and everyone is dependent on each other to survive together."

"Of course, what you said makes sense, during the period of the Secret Service Headquarters, they relied on my resources to develop, and in the later period, that is, during the period of the Political Security Bureau, they must provide me with corresponding returns and show their own skills and achievements."

"The Intelligence Department outside the customs and the intelligence office in North China are restricted by the grim situation in the local area, especially outside the customs area, and they need to be planned step by step, and they cannot be too strict. Even if it's me, I can't quickly open the situation when I go to a new place, don't underestimate the threat of the enemy. ”

"But the first intelligence department and the second intelligence department, we have to speed up the pace in the future, I have matched them with enough resources, and the precipitation time is not short, and the bureau headquarters is also inclined to support, in terms of the work of the political security bureau, I hope to see bright spots." Chen Mingxiang said.

There is no doubt that Chen Mingxiang will take an army air transport plane to Anhui Province, because Anhui Province not only has the Huatong Trading Company's purchasing station, but also Chen Mingxiang's cigarette factory, especially the office of the head of the Jie, which is also an important channel for smuggling materials.

The tobacco leaves of the Shanghai Tobacco Factory are all transferred from Henan Province through the Jieshou, and then transferred to the Shanghai City, as well as a large number of tea and tung oil, etc., in addition, Anhui Province is also an important coal and iron ore production area.

"General Kinoshita has already agreed with the airport, you can take a transport plane to Luzhou tonight, he wants me to tell you, the affairs of the Southeast Trading Company must be dealt with quickly, the household registration rice in Shanghai is seriously insufficient, and Jiangsu Province and Zhejiang Province and other places can not come up with food to relieve Shanghai, Chen Gongbo has sent an urgent notice to the Consulate General in Shanghai, and if this situation is not alleviated, something big will happen in Shanghai."

"The tens of thousands of tons of rice plundered by the Southeast Trading Company are the only way to alleviate the situation at present, and because of the unfavorable collection of military rations, the Japanese businessmen of the Central China Grain and Rice Purchasing Group have also kept an eye on this batch of grain, and have asked the gendarmerie several times to allocate it to them, you can meet with Chen Gongbo in the afternoon and finalize this matter, as for the price of rice, you can make your own decision!" Komura Shizo said.

It is not that the headquarters of the gendarmerie stationed in Shanghai only sees the money and does not care about the threat of food shortages for the dispatched troops, but that the food shortage in Shanghai is serious, and the last time it knocked those grain speculators once, it only lasted until the end of July.

A batch of rice in Suzhou Province was smuggled by Li Shiqun, a batch was bought by grain speculators, a batch was purchased by the Ministry of Food of the Wang puppet government, and a batch was forcibly requisitioned by the Japanese army.

Everyone knows the importance of food, because of hunger caused by the turmoil in Shanghai, obviously the Japanese army did not want to see, the war in the Pacific was unfavorable, and even the most basic military operations were forbidden.

In the face of the powerful industrial production capacity of the United States, an old capitalist country, the Japanese cabinet and military department knew in their hearts that it was impossible to carry out a strategic offensive against the US military anymore, and it was a fundamental strategy to concentrate all forces on defense in the hope that they could use this to drag down the US military.

For this reason, the Japanese cabinet and the military department continued to recruit soldiers in the country, and formulated a plan for the Kwantung Army to go south, and the military materials needed increased day by day, which also determined the importance of the Shanghai market.

The Consulate General in Shanghai rejected the request of the Central China Grain and Rice Consortium and sent a letter to the Gendarmerie Headquarters, requesting that the confiscated and sealed grain be transported to Shanghai as soon as possible to alleviate the crisis.

"Mingxiang, your Huatong Trading Company wants to use all its transportation forces as quickly as possible to transport the grain stored by the Southeast Trading Company back to Shanghai, and now it has reached the most dangerous time."

"The report of the grain department said that because the problem of food shortage has not been solved for a long time, 80 percent of the people in Shanghai have no overnight rice at home, and the rice registered by the grain administration bureau will not last for a few days.

"I reported this problem to Chairman Wang, and mobilized a part from the Ministry of Food, but the amount is too small, so we must give priority to ensuring the rationing of government agencies and police, you tell me the truth, how much grain does the Southeast Trading Company have?" Chen Gongbo said with a frown.

"The number of people I have sent to various places has not yet been counted, and there is no accurate number to report, but according to my estimates, it is 16,700 tons, according to the minimum standard, at most it can last until the end of the year, if there is no more food, there will be an unprecedented famine in Shanghai." Chen Mingxiang said.

The actual figure is more than 10,000 tons more than the figure he said, but it is not all rice, and there are more than 3,000 tons of coarse grain, and Chen Mingxiang plans to use the underground party's channels to provide them to the people in Shanghai to collect some money symbolically.

Based on Chen Mingxiang's understanding of the bureaucrats of the city government, it is already very good that 25,000 tons of the 30,000 tons of grain can be used in the household rice distribution agencies in Shanghai.

Although the people in Shanghai are about to starve to death, there must be many people who want to stretch out their hands on food, and he still has to mingle in Shanghai, so he can't offend this huge interest group.

"The quantity is too small, and it is difficult to say when the Ministry of Food will be able to transfer grain to Shanghai, but I think we can leave 6,000 tons of rice as a reserve grain for the city government, and the city government itself and its subordinate yamen, the yamen of various regions, the security headquarters and the police station are also in great demand, and this is the basis for maintaining operation." Mo Guokang said on the side.
