Chen Mingxiang saw that there were clear slap marks on Nakajima's face, and it was probably because of the rage of Haruka. It was common for the Japanese army to slap in the face, and it was natural for superiors to hit subordinates.

No matter how outstanding you do a job, if something goes wrong, then the effort you put in will not score, or you will have negative points.

"Director Li, people with a little bit of status in Jiangtong District know the background of Southeast Trading Company. Can you tell which force dares to attack us?" Qingzuo asked in anger.

Southeast Trading Company is two institutions with special traffic powers in the Shanghai Stock Exchange. Although Huatong Trading Company is backed by the Gendarmerie Command, it can be said that it is free to travel, but Southeast Trading Company is not bad, it is nothing more than a little troublesome in the procedures.

The profits of scarce materials during the war were enough to make the merchants in the Kuomintang-controlled areas regard this company as the God of Wealth. Who was robbed of the company's transportation team's goods by the door and didn't want to make money in the future?

What's more, it would be a very miserable thing to provoke the agents headquarters. The loss is not only money, but also their lives, and even the whole family is not kept.

"I don't have any clues yet. It's probably almost zero that the merchants are the possibility. The local garrisons and bandits in Tanzhou are relatively likely, but this has never happened before, so it's hard to judge at once." Li Shiqun shook his head.

"Isn't it the underground party's armed forces?" said Seizuki in anger.

"Absolutely not. First of all, there are more than 40 escort personnel in the transport team, and they are carrying two light machine guns. The underground party's guerrillas on the border of Hunan and Jiangxi have all the rifles as treasures, and there are not many bullets, so they can't eat this guard."

"If it was done by the guerrillas and they could not drive fifteen trucks, where did they get so many drivers? Also, for those trucks that could not drive, the guerrillas would not only remove the fuel tank and tires, while the rest of the parts were intact." Li Shiqun said.

This inference is very reliable. The guerrillas are in a difficult situation and basically lack anything. It is not enough to break the car up and break it up.

It is incredible to say that the guerrilla buns can drive trucks. Besides, these are twenty trucks carrying cargo. How can fifteen trucks take away the goods?

"Director Li's analysis is very reasonable. I will ask the intelligence officers of the Special High School Course to collect information from the surrounding areas. There will definitely be clues when so many vehicles are pulling goods." Qingzhao agreed with this judgment in anger.

"Your Excellency Zhongzuo, the case needs time to be investigated, but the transaction of Southeast Trading Company cannot be interrupted. I hope to get help from Mei agency." Li Shiqun said.

"This gap is a bit big. General Ying Zuo is also in a dilemma for the loss of three million French currency. The Mei agency lacks financial support at present and its own funds are not enough. You should talk to Minister Zhou first and borrow a part from the Ministry of Finance!" Qingzuo shook his head in anger.

The Japanese invaders plundered and robbed China, hoping to dig three feet of the ground, but no matter how hard they tried, they were still in balance compared to the consumption of war.

The Mei agency has no income itself, but because it supports the Wang puppet government, it has some privileges. The earliest funds come from the tariff interception of Jiang Customs. From the end of last year to the beginning of this year, more than 40 million legal currency were intercepted.

However, after the establishment of the Wang Puppet Government, the Mei agency's life was not so comfortable. In order to provide the puppet government with fixed fiscal revenue, the Japanese government gave the taxes of Jiang Customs and the unified taxes in the areas actually controlled by the Wang Puppet Government to the Ministry of Finance of the Wang Puppet Government.

What is unified tax? This is a kind of goods tax in the Republic of China period. It first originated in the Qing Dynasty. It mainly consists of five items: cigarettes, wheat flour, matches, cement and cotton yarn. It is divided into three methods: resident factory collection, resident site collection and merchants’ self-report.

Without the tax revenue of Jiang Customs, Mei's agency, like other intelligence agencies, can only rely on domestic financial appropriations. It doesn't matter if it makes small fuss, but it involves millions and tens of millions of funds, so it needs to ask the military for instructions.

The current fiscal expenditure method of the Wang Puppet Government is called living within one's means, and the amount of expenditure is determined based on the monthly income. This method is very effective, and the Ministry of Finance has a slight surplus.

"Minister Zhou cried poor every day, and this matter was very difficult to operate. I was so angry that I could borrow some money from Huatong Trading Company to make the Southeast Trading Company turn over?" Li Shiqun said.

The Ministry of Finance of the Wang Puppet Government is thinking about how to make money and power from the Japanese every day, hoping to include all customs tariffs in the scope of the Ministry of Finance. In this case, Zhou Nihai might give money, but Li Shiqun would owe favors, and he was unwilling to do so.

Huatong Trading Company has been operating well and has a wealth of working capital. It is not a big problem to take out one or two million legal tenders. As long as the business of Southeast Trading Company is running smoothly, the loan can be paid off in two months.

"Let me tell Minister Zhou about this matter. I will lend three million yuan to Southeast Trading Company first. The Ministry of Finance will establish a central reserve bank and is coordinating with all parties. When this matter is implemented, the Ministry of Finance will have much more funds." Qingzhao said in anger.

He also felt a headache. Huatong Trading Company is an institution controlled by the Gendarmerie Headquarters and the Special High School Course. How dare you say that Saburo Miura is famous for being greedy for money and can't speak. Even General Kyosato came out to borrow money, he probably had a saliva on his face, and he thought it was quite beautiful.

"Mingxiang, our agent headquarters is about to pay a salary. You can lend me 500,000 French currency from the company's finances first. When the Ministry of Finance's allocation is received, I will ask the General Affairs Office to transfer it to you immediately." Li Shiqun was also forced to be impatient.

If the agent headquarters delays paying wages, the impact will be too bad, especially it is very unfavorable to Li Shiqun's image. Even the most basic salary cannot be paid. How do you, the director?

"That's fine with the company. Such a large loan is not convenient. Please ask Director Ye to go to the audit team's finance department. I'll say hello to the Gendarmerie Command and the Special High School Division, and I will delay the submission by one month." Chen Mingxiang said.

The military police commander Saburo Miura was very concerned about Huatong Trading Company's accounts, and he had to check them in person every month and had to conduct a simple check by the financial staff.

Although Chen Mingxiang had tampered with it, he didn't know that the nature was different, which meant that his territory was so that no one would be allowed to be involved in it.

Although the audit team's expenses were divided by half to the Gendarmerie Command and the Special High School Division, Saburo Miura did not dare to be greedy for all of his money. It was a very stupid behavior. He had to subsidize more than half of the funds to the Gendarmerie Command.
