The expeditionary force began to dominate Southeast Asia by recruiting defeated soldiers

Dai Chunfeng graduated from Huangpu Military Academy and was very clear about the level of his military colleagues.

When it comes to fighting, most of the White Party's generals and colonels have no ability, but when it comes to doing business and settling accounts, they can be said to be proficient.

In all the battles with the Japanese, there were many reports showing an outrageous disparity in casualties between the enemy and our side, but this did not mean that so many soldiers were actually killed, wounded or missing.

Instead, officers at all levels settled accounts with those "ghost soldiers" who only existed on the roster by having them sacrificed or disappeared in battle. If they were a little more unscrupulous, they could even earn extra pensions.

Dai Chunfeng knew very well how much water there was in the casualty figures after most battles. After all, one of the responsibilities of the Investigation and Statistics Bureau was to do this.

However, in an environment where everyone in the White Party had done something, even the Military Control Commission did not dare to lift the lid on this horror. They could only turn a blind eye and deal with it, occasionally arresting a few who had gone too far.

After all, they talk about ideology but think about business.

Not to mention that the situation was similar within the Military Control Commission itself.

Many undercover personnel only exist on the roster. I am afraid that only a few people really know where the salaries and activity funds issued by the Finance Department go.

In all the espionage operations against the Japanese, Fengjie had so many action team spies and soldiers of the Loyal and Patriotic Army. How many of them were real people, and how many of them existed only on paper, as code names used to receive salaries and weapons?

Thinking of this, Director Dai snorted lightly. Did those people really think that what they did was perfect and that he knew nothing?

In many cases, Dai Chunfeng simply couldn't bear to point it out because of the other party's seniority.

Of course, Dai Chunfeng would not admit that he was actually afraid too.

After all, if we really investigate seriously, what will we do if we find something?

If things go wrong, accidents like "plane crash" or "death from alcoholism" might happen.

I wonder how Zhang Chi managed to do this? How could he not be constrained by these problems?

Thinking of this, Dai Chunfeng couldn't help but sigh: "Young people are really formidable..."

Shen Shuyi, who was standing beside him, pushed his glasses. He felt that Zhang Chi was a bit like the people over there in all aspects, but when he thought of the king's uncle, the White Eagle people, and the Nanyang nobles behind Zhang Chi, he finally remained silent.

-----

While the Investigation and Statistics Bureau was still playing "You Draw, I Guess" and was still confused about Zhang Chi, the "over there" in Shen Shuyi's mouth had already been exposed to Zhang Chi.

"Welcome, Manager Zou. Purchasing 1000 barrels of gasoline and 300 units of sulfa drugs at a time is a big deal." Zhang Chi pushed open the door of the visiting room and took the initiative to reach out and shake the other person's hand directly.

Although Zou Ziqian, who was disguised as the owner of Chuncheng Fuyuan Trading Company, was confused, he still smiled and shook hands with Zhang Chi and exchanged greetings.

Zou Ziqian couldn't understand why he was arranged to meet Zhang Chi, the real person in charge, when he was just here to purchase a batch of gasoline and medicine?

Although the purchase volume of hundreds of thousands of dollars is large, it can be completed by any clerk under Zhang Guangsong. Is it necessary to trouble Zhang Chi to step in?

Zou Ziqian suspected that his identity had been exposed, but he didn't want to because the other party looked so friendly.

"I don't like to play tricks. Let's be frank. I know you are this person." Zhang Chi said while making the gesture of the number eight.

Zou Ziqian was shocked, but he had put life and death aside the day he joined the organization, so he pretended to be calm, drank a sip of tea, and signaled Zhang Chi to continue.

"I also know that you have opened up an underground passage for the gold from Shandong Province to the base, so we can do business openly."

Zhang Chi is not planning to get involved in domestic affairs, but if it is just about doing business, he is happy to do it.

After all, the reputation of the business of the Eighth Master and the Fourth Master is well-known. As long as it does not harm his own interests, Zhang Chi is willing to sell things to help the other party.

"Oil, medicines, weapons, mechanical equipment, anything blocked by the White Party, I can sell it." Zhang Chi went straight to the point.

"So what's the price?" Zou Ziqian knew that there would be no such thing as pie falling from the sky in this world. If there was, the pie would most likely be poisonous.

Is Zhang Chi's attitude his own? Or is it that of the Nanyang family behind him? Or is it the White Eagle people who are manipulating him?

At this moment, Zou Ziqian thought a lot.

"First, I know I have some of your people here. I hope they can withdraw, and you can promise not to send people here privately in the future."

"As I should." Zou Ziqian knew that there were many big families from Southeast Asia standing behind Zhang Chi. Even if Zhang Chi was trying to reduce land taxes and redistribute land, because of his support, the other party would not be willing to have people from the Red Organization on their side.

"Secondly, transactions will only be in precious metals like silver and gold, or through barter. We do not accept banknotes from any domestic power. However, if it's a gold transaction, I can offer a 9% discount on the market price."

"Very reasonable." Zou Ziqian was not surprised by this request. After all, except for various border area notes, the banknotes issued by the White Party, Fuso and the puppet army in the country currently have no endorsement. In addition to counterfeit currency, each department is also printing more money frantically, so it is normal to relax and not collect them.

"If you can accept these conditions, not only can I sell you the goods, I can also give you two notes, one from the Uncle of the Ministry of Finance, and one from General Stevenson of the Allied Forces. With these two notes, you can easily ship your goods back."

"No more requests?" Zou Ziqian could no longer maintain his poker face when he heard this, and an expression of surprise appeared on his face.

That's it? Is that all they want?

In Zou Ziqian's opinion, Zhang Chi's request was almost the same as no request, but the conditions he offered were extremely generous, which was basically active assistance to them.

At this time when northern Shaanxi was under comprehensive blockade, one could buy medicines, weapons, and machinery by spending only gold, without having to worry about transportation.

Now Zou Ziqian feels like pie will really fall from the sky.

He originally thought that the deal would fall through after Zhang Chi knew his identity, or that the other party would force him to sign some "agreements" on behalf of the White Eagle people behind them before they could trade, but he didn't expect Zhang Chi to give him such good news.

"Thank you so much, General Zhang." If it wasn't inappropriate, Zou Ziqian would even want to call the other party comrade.

"I'll report this to Northern Shaanxi right away. We're willing to pay the full amount directly for this first business!"

Zhang Chi watched Zou Ziqian leave with a smile, thinking that he could finally become an 'old friend'.

After all, that is the future northern neighbor of these Southeast Asian Chinese, so it is very important to establish good relations in advance.

As for what the White Party thinks, Zhang Chi doesn’t care too much. Can the other party defeat his army?

As for the White Eagles, Stevenson himself had an ambiguous attitude towards northern Shaanxi, and General Luo and Chief of Staff George were not anti-Red Devil lunatics.

It can be said that before McCarthy came to power, the diplomatic atmosphere was very relaxed.
