"We are strictly under the supervision of the Japanese military police and the Marine Corps. We are inseparable from the public concession. We know that we are going to enter the concentration camp, and there is no way. Of course, I would like to thank you on behalf of the British and American expatriates and gave us a month and a half."

"A few of our former directors of the Ministry of Industry and Technology will discuss and contact some expatriates. I guess you have to help you hide something. This practice is entirely voluntary and will keep it confidential for you during the operation. We cannot pose a threat to you because of our interests."

"Before the end of January, we should concentrate on storing commemorative and high-value things in several villas with higher value. If you take these places into your own hands, it is equivalent to helping us protect our property."

"After entering the concentration camp, everyone can't spend the money and gold and silver in their hands. I'll give it to you as a reward for custody. Who knows how many years this war will last!" Riddle said with a wry smile.

In fact, after the Pearl Harbor incident, the United States also detained Japanese expatriates in the country into concentration camps. Considering that concentration camps are the best name, they are called detention camps.

It is not unimaginable that the belligerent countries have made such a move. The British and American expatriates have long been mentally prepared, but it has not taken action until now, a year after the incident happened. The Japanese government's patience is much better than the US government's patience.

Chen Mingxiang had previously helped merchants among British and American expatriates hide a batch of property and placed it somewhere in the Mara Villa. However, most expatriates were still willing to put it at home, under their noses, or simply dig a hole at home and bury it. After all, they were worried about giving it to others.

But the problem is that since the Japanese want to lock all foreign expatriates into concentration camps and drive them out of their residence, this method is not safe, and maybe their families will be treated as three feet of digging.

Riddle, in line with the duties of government administrators, helped his compatriots reduce losses, but he had to agree to such a thing himself. If the news leaked, it would be a problem for Chen Mingxiang.

"The cost is not the point. The key is that after entering the concentration camp, it is difficult for me to continue to reach in. I am afraid that it will be more convenient to help you." Chen Mingxiang said.

"After entering the concentration camp, you are the only one who can help us overcome the difficulties in the Shanghai Stock Exchange. The military police and Marine Corps under your care are your relatives."

"I know you have your own channels and can contact the embassies of Britain, the United States, the Netherlands and other countries in Shancheng. I and several former directors from the United States and the Netherlands will write the situation in written reports and you will send it to me. Governments of various countries will find a way to rescue it, but providing necessary supplies is completely satisfying."

"This report is not just about our experience, but also about your care for us. As long as our ambassadors see it, it means that governments have also seen it. This will be very good for your future. We will not forget our good friends who lend a helping hand in times of crisis." Riddle said.

Why did Chen Mingxiang help British and American expatriates?

This is a smart man. He bets that Japan cannot withstand the war potential of Britain and the United States, especially the United States. As long as he wins the bet, it will inevitably be an immeasurable political capital, which is equivalent to a talisman!

Why didn't he use this trick in the past?

Riddle is not a simple person to be the general director of the Public Concession Industrial Department. He knows that good steel is to be used on the edge and has no other resources to trade with Chen Mingxiang. Money is definitely not what others hope to get the most.

Chen Mingxiang was also very satisfied with this transaction. After working hard for the year, he finally saw the reward of hope.

That night, the Japanese Consulate General in Shanghai held a grand New Year's reception. The Navy and Army garrison institutions in Shanghai, including General Fukukawafeng and Lieutenant General Shimomura, all came. All departments of the Army Province, Chen Gongbo and senior officials from the municipal government came to attend.

In addition, the number of representatives from the Japanese business community came the largest, and important figures were sent to all walks of life in the Shanghai Stock Exchange. These businessmen with suits and bow tie also made the military uniforms at the cocktail party less dazzling.

In the future, the Consulate General in Shanghai will be the highest administrative authority of the Japanese government in central China. It will directly manage all Japanese companies. How dare you not come to support it? Do you still want to make a fuss?

"Brother, you really have you. I actually brought the black cat in this kind of occasion. Pan Sansheng is embarrassed tonight!" Lu Ying said with a low voice and smiled.

"You guys are just afraid that the world will not be in chaos. I will talk to those Japanese coal merchants tonight. Heimao is my coal company manager. I will kill two birds with one stone. Since you come here, you can talk to Pan Sansheng on behalf of me. There is no intention of irritating him. Besides, he and Heimao are divorced and don't care about such things." Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.

He really didn't consider Pan Sansheng's factor. Jay Ji divorced this guy. Even if he publicly announced that Jay Ji was his lover, Pan Sansheng couldn't control it!

"You and the Mei organs and the military police headquarters in Shanghai have already ended their negotiations on the power of the police, but they have never returned to the police department for a meeting. I heard that the people there are all about to move, pulling out relationships everywhere and going to the back door, wanting to have a drink of soup from it. Even I received a lot of calls, all asking about your whereabouts." Lu Ying said.

"I am the boss of the Police Department, and I have the final say in my work arrangements. There are so many things at the end of the year, so how can I have time to pay attention to these people? When the Spring Festival approaches, I will go to Jinling to hold an end-of-year meeting. If you want to eat ready-made ones, how can it be that simple?" Chen Mingxiang said with a lip silence.

He really has no intention of dealing with the affairs of the police department. He has a lot of work every day. In addition, his junior sister is uncertain about her life and death, or her hope is slim, so it would be great if he can come out to work.

Pan Sansheng was still very tactful and took the initiative to come over and drink a glass of wine with the two and said a few words. It seemed that he had verified the facts in public. Ji was Chen Mingxiang's man, and other people's gossip mentality disappeared instantly.

The senior Japanese officials present knew Chen Mingxiang and there were people talking to him everywhere. Lieutenant General Makita Katsuzabura and even took him to a general in Fukawa Peak for a few words. The generals of the Navy and Army entered the hall and were divided into two directions, and they could not get together at all.

Chen Mingxiang proposed to go to the Navy Fleet Command and the Third Fleet Command to offer condolences tomorrow. Kokawa Fengichi also expressed his welcome and even took the initiative to invite Katsuji to dance a song, giving Chen Mingxiang enough face.

"Chen Jun, follow my secretary to the conference room on the second floor. The representative of the coal merchant has already gone up. I will chat with Mayor Chen Gongbo later and end this price war in March according to your plan."
