This Japanese delegation was led by Japanese Cabinet Minister Keigen Kaya.
The ultimate goal of coming to Shanghai is to control all the economic lifelines of Shanghai to the greatest extent possible.
To seize enough funds and resources for Japan to maintain huge war expenditures.
In terms of currency, the delegation planned to issue military notes to replace the legal tender in circulation.
As for the real economy, the inspection team directly adopted the method of robbery against small businesses.
Although the inspection team also coveted the various industries under the names of those influential large businesses, they did not dare to rob them openly.
Many of these big businessmen served as officials in the Wang Puppet Government, or had great influence in the business community in Shanghai.
If these big businessmen directly raided their homes and seized their property.
The delegation was also worried that many businessmen, seeing the fate of being abandoned after their own failure, would choose to quietly flee Shanghai and transfer all their assets to the districts controlled by the Communist Party.
In order to obtain all the important assets of these big businessmen legally and reasonably without making any noise, we must do so.
Keigen Kaya and a group of Japanese financial experts came up with the idea of manipulating the Shanghai stock market and artificially creating a stock market crash.
Like the largest textile factory in Shanghai, Shengyi United Textile Factory.
Yongfeng Flour Mill, the largest flour mill in Shanghai.
The largest food factory in Shanghai, Huaguang Beer Food Factory.
and the largest port ship trading company, Jardine Matheson Shipping and Trading Company.
They are all on the list of targets for harvesting by the Japanese inspection team, including Keigen Kaya.
After a period of time, Hewu Jingxuan and others quietly accumulated funds from the Shanghai Stock Exchange.
The stock chips of these companies have been quietly bought to more than 10%, which is considered enough to manipulate market sentiment.
Keigen Heya and others showed their greedy fangs and wanted to artificially create a panic selling sentiment in the stock market.
Finally, when everyone is at the lowest point of extreme panic, they will buy up a large number of shares of these listed companies in one go, which are enough to control the company.
In this way, they can legally and reasonably acquire and control these economically vital enterprises in Shanghai in one fell swoop.
As for the several big merchants who originally owned these companies, they could only suffer this loss in silence.
Who told them that they are not as good as others in the stock market?!
With the result of Fujiwara Shizuka annihilating the Military Control Station in Shanghai, Heya Keigen and others were less worried about the anti-Japanese elements in Shanghai.
I believe that among the anti-Japanese forces in Shanghai, even the most powerful Military Control Station was defeated and completely wiped out.
It can also greatly deter other anti-Japanese elements and allow them to remain quiet for a while.
Taking advantage of this relatively safe period, Hewu Jingxuan and others decided to go to the largest stock exchange in Shanghai, the Shanghai Zhongye Association, to conduct on-site stock manipulation.
There was no electronic stock trading at that time, and all transactions had to be done on-site with manual document filling.
In order to conduct transactions as quickly as possible and manipulate the stocks of these companies most conveniently.
Keigen Heya and others also had to go to the trading hall of the Public Industry Association.
Chen Yutang recently pretended to be Fujiwara Shizuka from the Special High Section, and took turns with the Japanese gendarmerie to protect Heya Jingxuan and others.
Because of this, Shen Yutang knew the whereabouts and itinerary of He Wu Jingxuan and others very well.
This was also the main reason why she dared to propose this assassination plan to the Military Intelligence Bureau special envoy Yan Yongqing.
He knew that the next day, members of the Japanese delegation including Keigen Heya would go to the Zhongye Public Office to manipulate the stock market.
Chen Yutang asked for sick leave from the section chief, Kazuo Ogasa, saying that the old injury from being beaten by the police was hurting again.
Ogasa Kazuo did not suspect anything and approved Chen Yutang's sick leave request for Fujiwara Shizuka.
Let her rest at home for three days, and she doesn't have to go to the Special High School during these three days.
The next day, Kazuo Ogasa offered to share the security work for Lord Keigen Kaya and the financial experts.
For this opportunity to get closer to Lord Keigen Kaya, Ogasa Kazuo is eager to step in for Fujiwara Shizuka!
After Shen Yutang confirmed the timing of the assassination, he used the contact information given by special envoy Yan Yongqing to summon the remaining forces of the Shanghai Military Control Station in the Chinese area overnight.
Let them carry weapons, disguise themselves as ordinary shareholders of the Public Industry Association, blend in with the crowd of people trading stocks, and wait for their gunfire signal at any time.
Chen Yutang's identity as Tang Yan would also be the reason why Tang Zhiqiang chose a cemetery the next day and would not go to work at the secret service headquarters.
Everything was ready, just waiting for the next day's stock trading at the Public Industry Association, waiting for Keigen Hewu and others to surrender and be caught.
