On the morning of the second day after arriving in Xinjing, a grand medal ceremony was held at the "Imperial Palace" of Manchukuo. Senior officials of the Puppet Manchukuo and some senior officials of the Kwantung Army attended the ceremony. Dozens of reporters also came, and the flashing lights kept shining with people's eyes.

Chen Mingxiang was awarded a medal with Jing Yun's great ribbon. The emperor of the Puppet Manchukuo personally awarded him the medal. This will also be the front page headline news for the Puppet Manchukuo tomorrow.

Although it is a puppet government, it is also very cautious when awarding medals. Especially the Jingyun Grand Scarf Medal, which is a medal of the honor, is usually awarded to senior government officials and senior Japanese generals, or to "ambassadors" from various countries. Ministerial officials like Chen Mingxiang are also from the Wang puppet government, and it is the first time.

"Chen Mingxiang, the Secretary for Police of the Ministry of Interior of the Jinling Government, has made outstanding achievements in assisting the Ministry of Public Security of Manchuria to eliminate internal hidden dangers and combat anti-Manchuria anti-Japanese elements. At the request of the Ministry of Public Security, he specially awarded a Jingyun Grand Strip medal to show commendation and encouragement!" Lieutenant General Yoshioka Yoshioka read the edict, and warm applause rang out in the hall.

The medal to Chen Mingxiang this time was indeed an application submitted by Major General Shibuya Saburo Shibuya, the deputy minister of the Ministry of Public Security, but he did not expect that he would be a honor, and giving him two honors and three honors is enough.

However, Yoshioka Yasunashi used his power to directly mention Xun. Chen Mingxiang was introduced to him by Matsui Taikuro and gave him a $50,000 gift. He never found any chance to repay him. This little thing is also a reward for Chen Mingxiang.

The senior officials of Manchukuo also discovered that the police chief of the Jinling government had a strong relationship with the Japanese army. The imperial imperial family was appointed as the Lieutenant General Yoshioka Yasuhiro, and the General Affairs Office of the State Council, Liu Zang, talked and laughed with him. Needless to say, the matter was initiated by him. The commander of the Kanto Army's military police team, Naojiro Kato, came, and even Lieutenant General Kawahara Yukio, the chief of the General Staff of the Kanto Army, was present in person. He couldn't help but look at Chen Mingxiang. The Kanto Army was the master of the Manchukuo.

"Jun Chen, the medal of Manchukuo is not the most precious. I know you have received the second-class Ruibao Heavy Lucky Seal from the Empire. I will take the opportunity to apply for one from the Empire to deliver strategic materials to the Kanto Army. This is a great contribution to the Empire and should be praised." Kato Sajiro said with a smile.

The award ceremony ended in just half an hour, and it was nothing more than a formality. Chen Mingxiang and a group of familiar Japanese generals went to the tavern to celebrate.

Although this medal was awarded by the puppet Manchukuo, it also represents Chen Mingxiang's career as a strategic agent. With a new breakthrough, the more "honors" he gets from the enemy, the greater the achievements he makes in his work.

Just when Chen Mingxiang arrived outside the pass, Wang Zhen also began to send a telegram to Changan Trading Bank as he told him, asking about the business progress and why he did not pay the money to the headquarters.

The manager of Changan Trading Bank knew what was going on when he saw the content. Isn’t the reason for not receiving the payment obvious? The more than 3,000 tons of salt I sent out have not settled for the trading bank until now, and I can’t get the payment for the goods. Where did the business come from?

"Manager, this Shancheng company named Lianfeng is too unreasonable. We didn't give a penny to the salt we shipped from Yanzhou Salt Field. I really don't know why the headquarters wanted to give them the underwriting rights. Some of them can cooperate with big salt merchants!" A clerk said dissatisfied.

"That is, all the millions of fiat currency liquidity we brought from the headquarters are used to purchase salt. The payment for goods has not flowed back, and the virtuous cycle of buying and selling has been cut off. Can't this company sell such a tight product like salt?" said another clerk.

The lake salt transported by the Chang'an Trade Bank from the Yanzhou base was handed over to a Lianfeng company from Shancheng for underwriting. This was agreed at the beginning. It is estimated that the company has a deep connection with the Shancheng government. The process of transporting food salt is unimpeded, and there is a pass for the material inspection department.

Trading banks need capital turnover. If they cannot form a virtuous cycle and the working capital is broken, they will have to wait if they do not receive support from the headquarters.

"Shut up and don't talk nonsense. The depth of this Lianfeng company is unfathomable. Be careful of your head! In this way, you will find those people who come to the trade bank later to have a drink at night, and don't tell them about this matter without revealing traces. It means that the capital chain is broken, the trading of the trade bank needs to be temporarily interrupted, and the salary cannot be paid." The manager said in a low voice.

Some secrets were selected to be a manager at Chang'an Trading Bank and were informed in advance before coming. Lianfeng Company was actually a material smuggling agency of the Shancheng Government Military Affairs Bureau. If you want to trade salt in the Kuomintang-controlled area, it would be difficult to move forward without such a backer.

Therefore, he also understood how to deal with this matter. He was asking for the Military Administration to make an excuse, but it was necessary to inform the situation. The salt transaction with the Yanzhou base area cannot be interrupted, and Lianfeng Company was also urging the goods to be requested. As for how to operate, of course it was a hint!

The Changan Trading Bank's business personnel responsible for salt trading were recruited from the Shanghai Stock Exchange and later came to Chang'an. In addition to the drivers, the people who joined later probably all have the background of Lianfeng Company. As long as they say it to them, it is equivalent to saying it to the Military Administration.

"The bureau chief, the special radio station reported to me a telegram. The reason why the Changan Trade Bank did not supply goods to Lianfeng Company is because the trade bank has suffered a serious shortage of funds and has not continued to trade salt with the Yanzhou base."

"Depending on their current situation, Lianfeng Company will not be able to provide salt merchants in Sichuan Province and Shaanxi Province this month. As for when the supply will be provided, it may take some time." Mao Renfeng said.

The clerks of Chang'an Trade Bank were all recruited from the Shanghai Stock Exchange. They used to be old-fashioned as British and American foreign companies and had a lot of experience. They seemed to have talked about this matter inadvertently while drinking and chatting. Of course, the agents of the Military Intelligence Bureau had to report to the bureau headquarters.

This group of spies was carefully selected by the bureau headquarters and prepared to sneak into the base area. However, they followed the convoy several times and did not find any opportunity to penetrate. The staff of the trade bank were temporarily staying.

But each of them has a generous salary every month, which far exceeds the military pay of the Military Administration. Now the trade bank cannot pay the money, and the income is affected, so it is natural to reflect the problem. This is not a problem of the trade bank itself, but the bureau headquarters seizes other people's payment for goods and does not settle the accounts.

"What's going on? The salt traded by Chang'an Trade Bank from the Yanzhou base is currently a very important income from our Military Affairs Bureau, and the profit is very considerable. I remember that it should be more than 3,000 tons, right? Why didn't they provide supplies? Did the manager not settle the payment for the goods?" Dai Li was so experienced, and immediately guessed what was going on.
