In order to target the rising Soviet Union, Britain and the United States' strategy to Japan was an appeasement policy, hoping to lead the disaster to the Soviet Union, which made the West unable to eat and sleep at night by not interfering in Japan's aggressive war.

Regarding the various atrocities of the Japanese invaders in China, especially the massacre in Jinling, they were all unhealthy, and they even sold strategic materials to Japan, such as steel, oil, machinery and cars, etc., which are actually typical indulgence.

Although Japan participated in the Axis powers, it was not a belligerent country with Britain and the United States, especially the Americans. At this time, it was still hesitating to make unrealistic fantasies and was unwilling to break up with the Japanese because of the Chinese affairs.

The Yama Castle government expects Britain and the United States to help put pressure on the Japanese government and rescue the kidnapped bank staff. It is similar to dreaming. It can be supported morally, so don’t think about substantive measures.

"Your Excellency Smith must also know that although I serve as the Director of the Supervision Office at the Secret Service at the Secretariat Headquarters, I am just a free position. My main job is the Inspection Team and Huatong Trading Company, and I have basically nothing to do with other matters."

"I can understand the current difficult situation of the Ministry of Industry and Police Department and the Police Department. The Shanghai Stock Exchange is a Japanese-occupied area. It is indeed not a wise choice to have conflicts with the occupying forces here."

"There was another incident that the family of the agent headquarters was arrested by the police station a few days ago, but the police officer involved had to return to China. The police department of the Ministry of Industry and Technology was not good-looking."

"As long as there are no foreigners in the concession and encounter other problems, I think it is better to try to avoid them as much as possible. After all, the international situation has a great impact on the United Kingdom and the United States." Chen Mingxiang said.

No matter what Smyth said, Chen Mingxiang did not intend to take on this sentence. He also expressed his attitude. It was meaningless to tell me about the matters of the agent headquarters.

At the same time, it also points out a fact that the concession is slowly losing its status. In fact, you can't hold on. If it were the past, how could the Japanese dare to treat the British and American concessions like this?

The Chief of Police of the Concession Department of the Concession is a real power position. Although the Japanese are becoming more and more powerful now, as long as everyone does not start a war, the Chief of Police will be fine if the British and American concessions involves public security matters.

Chen Mingxiang was very alert to Akagi's words. He was worried that the large number of policemen in the concession police stations would be bribed, which would bring a catastrophe to the Military Control Commission's Shanghai District.

He has not been threatened yet, and the Special High School and the Special Agent Headquarters have not suspected him, which is also caused by several reasons.

On the one hand, it was because the bureau headquarters adopted the highest level of encryption measures for his files. Except for Boss Dai and Pan Qiwu, no one else could see it and there was insufficient authority.

The second aspect is that there are very few people who know this code name. Nothing happened at the moment, but Chen Gongshu from Shanghai District 1 knows it, the radio operator knows it, and perhaps the secretary-general also knows it, once he is arrested by the agent headquarters, his code name will not be saved.

Thirdly, his image of hard work is to not touch the intelligence and not participate in the operation. As an uninformed person, no one doubted the previous intelligence leak incidents.

It is conceivable that if the enemy knew that there was a Military Affairs Bureau agent hidden deep in his heart, the Special High School and the Special Agent Headquarters would attach great importance to it, and even if they dig three feet into the ground, they would have to pull out people.

The reason why I visited Smyth was to use business cooperation to deepen my personal relationships, to spy on information when necessary, or to use the help of the police department to destroy Akagi's activities.

"I know that Mr. Chen's Huatong Trading Company has been secretly doing business with the Kuomintang-controlled area. The monthly transaction volume reaches millions of legal tenders, and has provided a large amount of strategic materials to the Japanese army, such as pig bristles, tung oil, rosin, etc.."

"At present, my motherland, Britain, is fighting with Germany, and needs a large amount of strategic materials to support it. Given the special position and status of the concession, the government requires us to acquire these military resources for the country, and I hope to cooperate with Mr. Chen's company." Smyth decided to change the topic.

In the past, Chen Mingxiang's remarks were a humiliation to the British Empire. When did the empire be afraid of Japan, a newly emerging military power?

But the problem is that it is meaningless to be stubborn now, and the facts are here. Ordinary people may not know much about the inside story, but Chen Mingxiang is well aware of it. What they are right is that there is indeed a dilemma in the concession.

Without the strong force of the state as support, it is impossible to maintain a special status in such land leased in foreign countries.

"Since your Excellency Smyth knows that I am purchasing supplies for the Japanese army, you will definitely understand that without the support and acquiescence of the Japanese army, this trade transportation line would not exist." Chen Mingxiang said.

"Mr. Chen has a very commercial vision. Seeing that the demand for materials increased sharply during the war, the profit would be several times or even dozens of times. To be honest, the acquisition price of the Japanese army was much higher than that of the Shancheng government."

"Taking tung oil and bristles as an example, the price of tung oil at the Shancheng government at the junction of Henan and Anhui is 70 yuan, and the price offered by Japanese companies is 400 yuan. The price of tung bristles of the Shancheng government is 3,500 yuan, while the Japanese army has reached 6 to 7,000 yuan per leuco."

"Our British and American companies will definitely give you the greatest profit. Tung oil can be paid in 50 dollars per trough, legal currency of 1,000 dollars per trough, and legal currency of 10,000 yuan per trough, all of which are paid in US dollars."

"The China Reserve Coupon and the fiat currency are in a hot topic. You also know that neither of these currencies is reliable. The China Reserve Coupon does not even have reserves. If you hold such money, you don't know when it will turn into waste paper."

"French currency was originally ten to three with US dollars, and one hundred fiat currency was thirty dollars. Now, it is almost one dollar to twenty fiat currency, and the value of the currency is constantly lowering. With foreign exchange in the war period, it is also a guarantee for yourself." Smyth said with a smile.

This foreigner is very good at seizing opportunities. Such a person should be the military procurement minister, rather than the police chief.

In fact, this type of conversation does not have any advanced skills, or it does not require skills. You can just use the US dollar to smash it if you don’t believe it!

Without much consideration, Chen Mingxiang decided to agree to this cooperation. On the one hand, it was from Boss Dai of the Military Intelligence Bureau that it would be better to give it to the British and American countries than to the Japanese devils who invaded China.

On the other hand, for the sake of the US dollar, British and American companies have high profits and make more money. In order to cope with the future situation, it is absolutely impossible to have no money.

"Since you are so honest, I will tell you the truth. It's not that we can't consider mutual benefit for everyone. Money can be delivered in the Shanghai Stock Exchange, but the goods trading location cannot be placed in the Shanghai Stock Exchange. As soon as we finished trading, the Japanese military police were going to come to my house to arrest people. This is the primary condition." Chen Mingxiang said.

"There is no problem with this. The Japanese government does not dare to have conflicts with the British and American governments. The Japanese military police will not check the goods of British and American companies at will. I mainly consider whether the quantity can be guaranteed." Smyth said.
