Britain was once known as the Empire of Sun and Never Set, but now its overseas residence is dominated by the Japanese. This is simply a shame to say!

But the situation is stronger than that of humans. The bomber in the UK, whose sky was covered by Germany, was blown up to the sky. When he was breathless, what would he use to compete with the fierce and cruel Japanese?

Riddle felt that he was very unlucky. The general directors of the board of directors of the public concession were all very powerful. Although the Japanese army captured the Shanghai market, they did not lose any disadvantage when negotiating.

But it was my turn to be the chief director, but he became a compromise role. Now he has become a symbolic position. The important things are basically decided by the Japanese, and they are too unbalanced psychologically.

"Your Excellency, I feel that you are pessimistic deep in your heart. The situation seems to have not become so bad. At least Britain is still tenaciously fighting against Germany and its territory has not fallen. Most of China's countries have been occupied by the Japanese army." Chen Mingxiang said.

Everyone is now in a cooperative relationship of interests. Chen Mingxiang is transporting military supplies to the UK. No one knows the future of the concession, but one day there will be value in utilization. It is necessary to say something close to you.

If Chen Mingxiang had a strong disgust towards Japan and was bullied and miserable, pretending to say good things about the Japanese, the two would have no basis for dating.

It is said that the essence of a British gentleman is selfishness and he must focus on everything. Chen Mingxiang said this after consideration.

"Although Britain and the United States are angry at Japan's invasion of China, they cannot provide more help to China due to their own reasons."

"All signs indicate that the Japanese army entered a strategic stalemate in the Huaxia and Shancheng governments and were unable to achieve the predetermined combat goals. They are likely to enter the Southeast Asian and Southeast Asian regions to obtain local oil and gas resources."

"On April 13 last month, Japan and the Soviet Union signed a treaty on the non-aggression of Japan and the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union recognized Manchukuo. From this time on, the British and American governments knew that war was inevitable, but it was still unknown when it broke out."

"To warn and deter Japan, the US government has begun to prepare to freeze Japanese assets in the United States and impose an embargo on Japan. The British and Dutch governments will also make the same decision, which is expected to be implemented in July."

"But Japan's military resources for launching war basically come from the United States and Southeast Asia, cutting off the lifeline on which Japan relies on to survive. I feel that the war is not far away," Riddle said.

As the top manager of his residence in China and in the Japanese-occupied area, Riddle obtained a high level of information and the status gap made him see the current international situation better than Chen Mingxiang.

It is obvious that you, Britain and the United States, indulged Japan invading China and wanted to guide Japan to attack the Soviet Union. Now that the appeasement policy is shattered, I saw that I was in danger, so I hurriedly wanted to sanction Japan. What I said was just and angry, and it was just so angry!

But Riddle's words revealed an important information: Britain and the United States will sanction Japan, and the two sides may trigger a war, which is very critical information.

Chen Mingxiang could think about how excited the commissioner of the Shancheng Government would be to hear this news, which would greatly reduce the pressure on the Shancheng Government.

"It's during the World War, and no one can predict his own destiny. Since all this is something that ordinary people cannot choose, I think the most important thing is to try every means to survive. Only by living can you have hope." Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.

"Your Excellency is right. Perhaps it is this kind of always optimistic attitude that has enabled you to hold multiple positions during the war and become one of the most powerful figures in the Shanghai Stock Exchange. I hope we can walk around frequently in the future and become good friends." Riddle said.

He is also paving the way for his future. Once a war breaks out, the concession surrounded by the Japanese army will be one of the earliest places to be attacked. His and his family's safety may also depend on this foreign affairs commissioner who maintains close ties with the Japanese.

Chen Mingxiang is an inconspicuous little person to the people in the Shanghai Stock Exchange or ordinary foreigners in the concession, but a person with a certain level of status knows how terrifying the hidden energy behind this young man's deliberately low-key image.

It is extremely rare for people to hold the Japanese military police headquarters in Shanghai with one hand and the Marine Corps headquarters in Shanghai with the other. Everyone knows that the Japanese army and the navy are incompatible.

"Of course, being able to become friends with the General Director is also my hope. As a foreign affairs commissioner, we will have more opportunities to contact us." Chen Mingxiang said with a smile.

The higher the status, the higher the level, the higher the information you come into contact with. This is undoubtedly a matter of no doubt. Similar to such international dynamic information, the agent headquarters cannot provide it, and it is difficult to access the special high school courses.

Military operations between countries are the core secrets of the army. The base camp of the Japanese army will not be disclosed to small grassroots units such as the military police stationed in Shanghai unless cooperation is required.

The highest person in charge of the UK's residence in Shanghai is the best channel for obtaining information. In order to protect the safety of overseas people, the concession authorities must communicate frequently with the country. In this case, Chen Mingxiang certainly does not object to deepening contact with Riddle.

Of course, Chen Mingxiang also understood Riddle's little thoughts very well. He just wanted to find a way out for the future. If he could continue to provide himself with this international intelligence, if the situation changes, it would be fine to help him within the Shanghai Stock Exchange.

"Secretary, we discovered an important situation. Starting from No. 1, someone invested a large amount of counterfeit banknotes in the foreign exchange black market, exchanging high prices for US dollars, pounds, and gold. After investigation, this was privately manipulated by Li Shiqun, director of the secret agent headquarters."

"The Sugibuya agency allocated 10 million counterfeit banknotes to Southeast Trading Company. He did not use a penny to purchase supplies, but invested them all on the black market, using the difference between foreign exchange and fiat currency to make profits." Captain Sato, the head of the Special Second Class, said.

The special high class of the military police headquarters in Shanghai is divided into special first class and special second class, one is responsible for military intelligence and the other is responsible for economic intelligence. However, the special second class does not work within the military police headquarters, but is scattered in many Japanese companies or other institutions selling dog meat with the title of sheep.

Second-year courses in the second grade of high school have their own insiders in the black market. It is normal to use fiat currency to exchange foreign exchange. I didn’t pay attention to this matter. The counterfeit banknote incident broke out suddenly. Foreign exchange dealers in the black market immediately checked their fiat currency and immediately discovered an abnormal situation.

No matter how high the counterfeit banknotes printed by the Japanese are, they are not yet 100% imitation level. Professionals can check carefully and find some subtle gaps. However, there was no such similar problem before. Even foreign exchange dealers who specialize in exchange for fiat currencies were deceived. This is purely an inertial mentality.
