"This operation, so far, is relatively successful."

In the conference room, Wu Jingyi introduced: "In two days, we launched a large-scale arrest at the designated location, killing four people and arresting 12 people. The specific identities are still under investigation.

Moreover, the arrests are continuing, and the military police and the police department have given us their full cooperation."

"One of the two people we shot dead was carrying a rattan box."

Sun Xiangbin reported: "The rattan boxes are all filled with money and gold bars, which should be the funds for the activities of the Japanese special agencies, and judging from the quantity, they are of considerable origin.

I immediately started tracking, but only found the tailor's body in a tailor shop. The person who was arrested escaped, and I bear full responsibility!"

"How can you take on so much responsibility?"

Meng Shaoyuan looked at it but didn't care at all: "It's really that easy to catch, so there's no need for us people to mobilize an army. Since the tail is exposed, it's only a matter of time before he's caught.

Judging from the current development, although the Japanese special agencies have put forward a decisive battle with us in Chongqing, they dare not really fight with us!

During this period, they suffered very heavy losses. After this large-scale arrest, they have become frightened birds and have nothing to fear. From now on, I announce that we will adjust our deployment and take precautions step by step!"

He glanced at his men: "Continue to search the area that has been searched to prevent the other party from retaliate.

We conduct area-by-area inspections, compressing their living space bit by bit, and driving them into a small area so that we can catch them all in one fell swoop!"

"Report!"

At this moment, Wang Nanxing, who was not attending the meeting, walked in with a solemn expression:

"I just got the news that our Salt Administration Bureau was defrauded of a large amount of sugar!"

"What?"

Meng Shaoyuan immediately asked: "How much was defrauded?"

"Total, more than two thousand kilograms!"

"What happened!"

Wu Jingyi was furious: "What do those people at the Salt Administration Bureau do for food? They were defrauded of so much sugar!"

Little white sugar!

It's no wonder they are so angry.

Sugar is indeed nothing in peacetime.

But during the war, the strategic significance of sugar far exceeded that of gold!

It is no exaggeration to say that a pound of sugar can buy you a wife.

When there is a shortage of food, you can live seven to ten days just drinking water, but if you add some sugar, you can live at least twenty-three days.

As a true hard currency, during World War II, sugar was worth more than cannons, and many countries banned exports.

Even Marshal Zhukov of the Soviet Union lamented: Without the 600,000 tons of sugar aided by the United States, the outcome of World War II would have been difficult to predict.

Sugar can provide soldiers with a steady stream of energy as a supply, and is an artifact that improves their combat effectiveness.

In European and American countries, compressed biscuits are often used to satisfy hunger when supplies are difficult.

However, compressed biscuits are not only difficult to swallow, but also have few calories, causing soldiers to consume calories very quickly and become fatigued very easily.

Now it's different with sugar.

Especially in places with ice and snow, if a large amount of sugar can be consumed at this time, it can quickly replenish the calories of the soldiers and quickly restore their physical strength, allowing the side to seize the fleeting opportunity and win the battle.

Sugar can relieve thirst.

A British cooking soldier also invented a small green jelly bean that not only melted in the mouth, but also secreted saliva and could even help soldiers swallow compressed biscuits.

For this reason, this cook soldier actually got a medal!

That doesn't matter, the important thing is that sugar can produce fuel.

Although the effect is not very good, in the war years, this is already very precious.

There is also white sugar that can stop bleeding, be antiseptic, etc.

Therefore, in any country at war, sugar is listed as a strategic material.

As an ally, China receives a large amount of aid supplies from its allies and also provides supplies to the United States.

White sugar is one of them.

White sugar is managed by the Salt Administration Bureau of the National Government.

Two thousand pounds of sugar is one ton.

Although it's not a lot in terms of overall quantity, it's definitely a big deal.

"Tell me carefully what's going on." Meng Shaoyuan also looked solemn.

"This batch is part of the 100,000 kilograms of sugar to be shipped to India."

Wang Nanxing hurriedly said: "A large number of them are concentrated in the Qiaokou warehouse. Yesterday, when we launched a large-scale arrest, someone came to pick up 10,000 kilograms of sugar with a warrant from the War Readiness Materials Management Committee.

They had all the procedures in place, and the warehouse immediately asked them to load the truck. They transported a total of two thousand kilograms in two batches. After completing the second loading and leaving, it was a coincidence that the warehouse received a call from the War Readiness Materials Administration.

Because they were old acquaintances, the warehouse director casually asked the other party why the sugar was delivered in advance. When the other party heard this, he felt strange that there was no such order at all.

So after an investigation, it was discovered that the other party was fake. The Combat Readiness Materials Management Committee hurriedly sent personnel to lead a platoon of soldiers to the scene and waited for the third convoy to transport it.

But strangely enough, the other party seemed to have calculated that he had been exposed and never showed up."

“If I didn’t have that phone number when I bought shares, I would have lost 10,000 kilograms of sugar.”

Meng Shaoyuan murmured: "God's will prevents the Japanese conspiracy from succeeding."

Sun Xiangbin asked: "Are you sure it was done by the Japanese?"

"Who else is there besides them?" Meng Shaoyuan sneered: "From the gang? No, sugar is a strategic material, the risk is too great, and it is difficult to get rid of so much sugar.

The Japanese, and only the Japanese, are interested in this kind of strategic material. What they want is not money, but damage to us.

If the one hundred thousand kilograms of sugar cannot be delivered on time, it will cause great damage to the reputation of the National Government among the allies.

If my judgment is correct, these two thousand kilograms of sugar will disappear soon. Fortunately, there are only two thousand kilograms, and the National Government can still bear this loss."

As he said that, his face darkened: "Immediately send additional manpower to all important material warehouses. If you need to pick up goods on a large scale, report to me as soon as possible!"

"We don't have enough manpower." Wu Jingyi reminded.

"We are short of manpower, so we need to find a way." Meng Shaoyuan looked solemn: "All students in the training class are mobilized, and all civilian personnel, except those who need to stay behind, will go out to work.

I will second a group of people from the Gendarmerie and the Police Station to strengthen the warehouses of important strategic materials. Wu Jingyi, you are personally responsible for this matter."

"yes."

…

So sweet.

Hikari Hahara grabbed a handful of sugar and stuffed it into his mouth.

So sweet.

Two thousand pounds of sugar.

What a pity, the original plan was for 10,000 kilograms.

It's just that something unexpected happened.

Mr. Shao Yuan, I won this time.

You probably never thought that I would start with white sugar, right?
Chapter completed!
