Just after Chen Yutang passed on the information that the Japanese inspection team was about to arrive in Shanghai to the Military Control Station in Shanghai.
The delegation, headed by Japan's Minister of Economics Keigen Kaya, arrived in Shanghai on a passenger ship of the Japanese Mitsui Group.
After receiving the notice, Shizuka Fujita of the Shanghai Special High Section went to the Pudong Wharf to attend the welcoming ceremony with her colleagues, including Section Chief Kazuo Ogasa.
The entire Pudong wharf was tightly sealed off by a large number of Japanese military police and plainclothes agents, and the alert level reached an unprecedented level.
As soon as the Wang Puppet Government police, who had been setting up checkpoints in the city, began to conduct inspections, they once again strengthened patrols in major urban areas of Shanghai.
It even affected the normal travel needs of ordinary citizens.
At the dock, General Sakata, commander of the Shanghai gendarmerie, Kazuo Ogasa, chief of the Special High Section, Yingzuo Zhaozhen, the highest military adviser to the Wang Puppet Government in Shanghai, and other important figures were all present.
Almost all the other major officials from various departments in Shanghai were also present.
However, the only people who were qualified to step forward and shake hands with Cabinet Minister Keigen Heya were a few powerful figures in Shanghai.
Even the inspection chief of the Special High Section, Shizuka Fujita, could only stand by and watch.
After Kaya Keigen led many influential financial experts from Japan off the ship, they enthusiastically talked with General Sakata, General Kagesa, and Kazuo Ogasa.
He also solemnly introduced the financial experts behind him to these powerful figures in Shanghai.
In the next few days, Hewu Jingxuan and others conducted an investigation into the economic situation in Shanghai under the protection of the Military Police, the Special High Section, and the Mei Agency.
In order to maximize the control and plunder of Shanghai's economy, a financial expert named Kamei Yuming in the inspection team proposed the idea of setting up a "Military Notes and Materials Federation" in Shanghai.
Military notes were forcibly issued in Shanghai, and gradually replaced the legal tender in circulation on the market.
Major financial institutions in Shanghai, such as banks and stock exchanges, will soon be completely taken over by the Mitsui Group and Mitsubishi Corporation.
For a while, people in Shanghai were in panic and bank runs occurred.
All the stocks on the Shanghai Stock Exchange were sold off fiercely, and the stock prices plummeted!
Several major Japanese trading companies that came with this inspection team were also well prepared.
They accumulated enough funds to acquire a large number of banking institutions in Shanghai at low prices when the banks were about to collapse due to bank runs.
The stocks being sold off on the stock exchange were at their lowest point and were bought in large quantities by these Japanese trading companies.
After all these operations, before the "Military Notes and Materials Association" was established, a large amount of assets and wealth in Shanghai had already gone into the pockets of the Japanese.
Seeing the Japanese frantically plundering wealth in Shanghai, many anti-Japanese organizations have set their sights on this investigation team, determined to teach the Japanese a lesson.
Kamei Yuming, a Japanese financial expert who suggested the establishment of the "Military Notes and Materials Federation", became the first target of the assassination.
The ambitious Kamei Yuming has always loved antiques and paintings. After coming to Shanghai, he often went to the antique market to shop.
After learning that he was interested in love, the Military Control Station in Shanghai carefully prepared a trap for him.
On this day, the people from the Military Control Station dressed up as poor people setting up stalls in the antique street.
He deliberately placed an authentic painting of a lady by Tang Yin on his stall, waiting for Kamei Yuming to come to him!
