When Xie Xuan was in the office, Jiang Lanting suddenly came to visit.
Jiang Lanting said anxiously: "Director Xie, I have something to ask you."
Xie Xuan said: "What is it? As long as I can do it, I will try my best."
Jiang Lanting said: "The Japanese army ordered 100,000 sets of military uniforms from me, but the payment has not yet been settled. Can you please help tell the Japanese side?"
Xie Xuan asked: "One hundred thousand sets of military uniforms? Since the military has placed an order, how come it can't settle the bill?"
Jiang Lanting is the number one cloth merchant in Suzhou and has a good relationship with Japan. He should not bring this kind of matter to himself.
Jiang Lanting said with a wry smile: "I heard that the Japanese want to give military coupons, and only half of them will be given, and the other half will be given after half a year. Isn't this going to cost my life?"
Xie Xuan said: "Maybe something happened unexpectedly. The Japanese army is also in difficulty now."
Jiang Lanting said with a wry smile: "It is indeed abnormal that they are ordering summer military uniforms now, but they can't ignore my life and death, right?"
Xie Xuan said in surprise: "Summer military uniforms? Now that summer is almost over, shouldn't it be time to order winter clothes?"
He was even more surprised. The Japanese army always planned carefully and lived by counting their money. It's autumn now, and it's unreasonable to still order summer clothes.
When something goes wrong, it becomes a monster, and there must be some reason for it.
Suddenly an idea flashed in Xie Xuan's mind. He thought of something, but it disappeared in an instant.
Jiang Lanting said anxiously: "Who says it's not the case? I don't know what they are going to do. They order military uniforms a year in advance but only give half of the money. Director Xie, you have to help me, otherwise my capital chain will be broken." , it’s not very profitable in the first place, so if we settle the bill half a year later, we’ll have to lose money. If we only want it next year, it’s not too late to order again after the Chinese New Year.”
Xie Xuan said: "Don't worry, I'll ask you."
Jiang Lanting's words suddenly reminded him.
The Japanese army naturally has a plan for what they do. The summer military uniforms that will only be used next year are ordered this year.
The Japanese army would never make such a stupid mistake, unless... these summer military uniforms will be used this year.
At present, there is almost no need to use summer clothes in China. Only in southern cities, such as Xie Xuan just returned from Foshan, the temperature there is higher. Like Shenpu, you have to wear two clothes, but you only need to wear short sleeves there. .
Since Germany invaded the Soviet Union, all parties have been paying attention to the movements of the Japanese army. Is it cooperating with Germany to go north and invade the Soviet Union from Siberia? Or go south to Southeast Asia to grab strategic resources?
The Soviet army deployed millions of troops in Siberia to prevent the Japanese army from moving north.
If the Japanese army really wants to move south, then these one million Soviet troops can be mobilized to the frontal battlefield to meet Germany.
Today, the Japanese army has ordered 100,000 sets of summer military uniforms, which can only mean one thing. The Japanese army has made up its mind to go south.
After Xie Xuan used his connections and asked Jiang Lanting to give a generous gift to a powerful figure in the Japanese military, Jiang Lanting's payment was quickly settled.
Jiang Lanting was very happy and must thank Xuan again.
Xie Xuan said: "No need to thank you. If I need your help in the future, just don't refuse, Boss Jiang."
Jiang Lanting sent him such a big piece of information, and he wanted to thank Jiang Lanting.
Jiang Lanting said solemnly: "As long as it's Director Xie's business, it's my business. No, it's more important than mine. No matter what it is, whether Jiang can do it or not, we must do our best."
In the afternoon, Xie Xuan went to Shijia Restaurant for dinner. The barbeque lung soup here is famous all over the Yangtze River. When Xie Xuan returned to Suzhou, he naturally wanted to treat himself to a meal.
This is also the place where Xie Xuan and Fang Lin meet. Although Xie Xuan is not in Suzhou these days, Fang Lin still sets up a shoe stall here every day.
While Fang Lin was cleaning people's shoes, he observed the people coming in and out with his peripheral vision.
Seeing Xie Xuan's familiar figure, Fang Lin was stunned for a moment, and then wiped the guests' shoes familiarly.
Comrade "Cherry Meat" suddenly appeared, presumably because he had information to pass on, and his mission had come.
After polishing the shoes, Fang Lin stopped receiving other guests and waited for Xie Xuan.
Sure enough, more than half an hour later, Xie Xuan came out.
He walked straight to Fang Lin's stall and asked, "Can my shoes be cleaned?"
"Of course, there's no charge if you can't wipe it clean."
"Then don't wipe it clean."
Fang Lin was cleaning his shoes, lowered his head and asked, "Is something wrong?"
Xie Xuan whispered: "Urgent information, send it to the central government quickly."
When Fang Lin heard that it was urgent information and it was to be sent to the central government, he immediately sped up.
After Xie Xuan gave the money, he waited for a while and left with the shoe shine guy.
After arriving at the Brown Rope Shop on Heng Street, Fang Lin entered through the back door. After seeing Geng Wenzhi, he immediately took out the banknotes given by Xie Xuan and said eagerly: "Shuji Geng, Comrade Yingrou's urgent information needs to be reported to the Central Committee immediately. Report."
Geng Wenzhi said in surprise: "Report to the central government?"
Geng Sicheng had already taken out the kerosene lamp, and Geng Wenzhi put the banknotes on the flame. Soon, yellow writing appeared on the banknotes: The Kwantung Army is about to move south.
After Geng Wenzhi copied down the information, he said solemnly: "Sicheng, you go to Pingjiang Road immediately."
If you want to transmit this information to the central government, you can only use the radio.
Others may not know the importance of this information, but Geng Wenzhi knows it all too well.
After Germany invaded the Soviet Union, it was unstoppable. The whole world was worried that if the Soviet army could not withstand it, it would affect China's war of resistance.
If the Japanese army moves south, it will greatly reduce the pressure on the Soviet army. The millions of Soviet troops deployed in Siberia can also be transferred back to the frontal battlefield to fight Germany, which will greatly enhance the strength of the Soviet army.
Soon, this situation spread to the cave dwelling.
A few days later, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China relayed this information to the Soviet Union through special channels.
The Japanese army is about to move south, which is definitely great news for the Soviet Union.
However, after the Soviet Union learned about it, they did not pay attention to it. They felt that it was impossible for the Kwantung Army to leave the Northeast, and the Soviet troops remaining in Siberia were not transferred back to the main battlefield in the country in time.
It doesn't matter whether the Soviet Union believed this information, but Xie Xuan thought it was true.
Once the Japanese army goes south, it will inevitably invade Southeast Asia. Once this happens, the biggest impact on him will be the concession.
Southeast Asia is a colony of Britain, the United States and France. Once the Japanese army invades these colonies and the concessions in Shenpu, the Japanese army will definitely enter.
And those Chinese who thought they were safe hiding in the concession would be ravaged by the Japanese army.
The anti-Japanese organizations relying on the cover of the concession authorities will also suffer a devastating blow.
In the past, when the Japanese army arrested people, they had to first contact the concession authorities and arrest people under their leadership. From now on, the Japanese army could arrest people at will in the concession.
Xie Xuan also told Shancheng this information, and at the same time, he also proposed a brand new plan.
