Chapter 1194 Financial Wars

When Ji Xiangqing was assassinated, the news soon reached No. 76. Li Zhiqun was fully responsible for the implementation of the China Coin Reserve. When he heard that the deceased was a specialist of the Shanghai Branch of the Central Reserve Bank, he immediately realized something was wrong.

He immediately took people to investigate the scene. When he went downstairs, he called Luo Xingchao out, and the two rushed to the scene together.

At the entrance of the alley where something happened, the local patrol officers were maintaining the scene. When Li Zhiqun arrived, he quickly stepped forward to report the situation.

Li Zhiqun ignored it and waved his hand directly, signaling Luo Xingchao to listen to the report, and personally inspected the traces left behind.

After asking about the situation, Luo Xingchao turned around and came to Li Zhiqun and reported: "Director, these patrol officers are quite capable and have worked a lot to find two witnesses. According to them, the two people who committed the crime attacked Ji Xiangqing with short guns, and a car was responsible for receiving the response. In a blink of an eye, they completed the assassination action and ran away in the car. The movement was very fast, and they must be veterans."

Speaking of this, Luo Xingchao lowered his voice and continued, "Director, I think the person is not good. Has Chongqing agents left the concession?"

Li Zhiqun nodded after hearing this and said coldly: "It should be them. It seems that these people are starting to enter the city again."

Since the contact point was discovered, Chongqing agents quickly hid in the concession. The targets of assassination were traitors and officials entering the concession and did not move in the city.

As for the two assassinations that had caused a lot of controversy before, among which Chen Jinbao was killed, Li Zhiqun knew that he had nothing to do with Chongqing agents. This was designed and implemented by him himself, but it was just his own trick to blame him.

As for Fu Shengan's death, after the subsequent investigation, the Chongqing agent did not show up in the whole process. It was done by the servant himself. As for the speculation in the newspaper that it was caused by the Chongqing agent's instigation, Li Zhiqun did not believe it.

It has been a traitor for a long time for Fu Shengan to be a traitor. An old servant who has been with him for many years has really wanted to eliminate traitors for the country, so he has already started to do so. How could it be delayed until now? Without major conflicts of interest and changes, such a thing would not have happened. The problem is mostly with the servant himself.

Therefore, these two cases have nothing to do with Chongqing agents, but Li Zhiqun went with the flow and put them on Chongqing agents. The other party also agreed that they were all traitors who died, so why not do it if they have merits for nothing?

However, this time, Li Zhiqun knew clearly that it must have been done by the Chongqing agent. He had been dealing with Chongqing agents for many years and could tell at a glance.

"These guys are not good at turtles, and they are finally willing to show off." Li Zhiqun said viciously.

"This shows that Chongqing agents will have further actions in the city next. Ji Xiangqing's death is just the beginning." Luo Xingchao also said with a serious expression.

Li Zhiqun pointed to Ji Xiangqing's body and analyzed: "This is for the Bank of China. I believe that during this period, there will be other assassinations, and it is impolite to come without being rude. I also want to give them some colors to see, so that those guys in Nanjing can't let me see my jokes!"

Luo Xingchao's heart was abrupt. He knew Li Zhiqun's personality the most. He would retaliate and would definitely take revenge next, and he must report it quickly.

Thinking of this, he whispered, "Do you need me to deal with it?"

He was preparing to take over the matter and gain further information, but Li Zhiqun shook his head: "The next action is in the concession, and we should use the Qing Gang disciples who are familiar with the situation. Wu Shicai is the best at this kind of thing."

Luo Xingchao couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but he smiled slightly and nodded, "Yes, Captain Wu hasn't acted for a long time, so it's okay to move."

As soon as this statement was made, Li Zhiqun also felt quite the same. Now that Wu Shicai has been neglected by him for a long time, it is almost the same as the suppression. It is time to reuse it. After all, he is his confidant from the founding period. It is not a good thing to just exclude him!

The group gathered up and returned to No. 76. Luo Xingchao returned to his office. Sure enough, he saw Wu Shicai being summoned by Li Zhiqun. After a long conversation in the office, Wu Shicai left excitedly.

Luo Xingchao saw everything, knew it in his heart, and quickly passed the information to the contact point.

After receiving this news, Ning Zhiheng knew that this was a signal that the Shanghai station began to launch. Next, the two sides will have a fierce showdown around the implementation of China's currency savings. All he could do was to try to warn the Shanghai station and reduce some losses. Others could not be involved, and he did not want to get involved.

The message was drafted and sent to the Chongqing headquarters. Soon, the Silian Branch and Shanghai Station were alerted.

Chen Hongchi knew very well that this operation was of great importance and he could not retreat at all. Not only did he not stop, he also decided to increase the attack.

Just as Li Zhiqun was carefully planning and preparing to counterattack, the Shanghai Branch of Nanjing Central Reserve Bank was attacked by another bomb. During normal business hours, a time bomb exploded at the counter in the bank hall. Among them, the business manager of the Shanghai branch and several bank employees were killed and injured on the spot. Many customers were affected, which made the Reserve Bank look like a big enemy and was deserted.

Li Zhiqun was so angry that he smoked his five orifices. The Shanghai station was moving so fast that he had not had time to take revenge. The other party came to the door again and immediately decided to start in advance.

In the evening of that day, at the entrance of the Chongqing Government Central Bank in the public concession, several central bank employees who had just gotten off work walked out of the gate. A car rushed over. The spies in the car raised their guns and fired, and several staff members fell in a pool of blood.

Once the war is provoked, it cannot be extinguished and spreads rapidly. In the following time, both sides will dispatch, explode, attack, intimidate, assassinate, and all kinds of means will be used together, setting off a bloody battle on the beach.

Chen Hongchi personally led the team to sneak into the city. A few days later, he shot Lu Tong, deputy director of the Investigation Office of Nanjing Central Reserve Bank, at his doorstep.

Li Zhiqun immediately responded and sent many spies to rush into the dormitory of the Kuomintang Bank's employees, concentrated twelve bank employees on the second floor, then shot and killed them all.

Yang Wenbo, the captain of the Shanghai Station Operations, led people to sneak into Dahua Hospital, killed Zhang Yonggang, the business chief of the China Reserve Bank of China, as well as several CRC staff and guards injured in the explosion, and escaped calmly and escaped without a trace.

Wu Shicai led a team to kidnap three employees of the Chongqing government's Bank of Communications, and carried out bomb attacks on two offices of the Central Bank in the Public Concession and the French Concession, killing a total of fifteen people.

…………………

Both sides ignored the consequences and used all their might to strangle the other side. In just over two months, they had countless violent actions, and each suffered heavy casualties. Both sides were furious. Even the consulates of various countries in the concession were frightened and retreated. They ordered their subordinates to restrain their subordinates, allowing both sides to attack and kill.

Until one night at the end of March, Li Zhiqun launched all his strength, and a large number of operation personnel from No. 76 rushed into the employee dormitory of Bank of China, kidnapped nearly 200 employees of Bank of China, brought them back to the prison of the agent headquarters, and spoke: "One life is worth three lives! As long as the agent at the Shanghai station takes action and dies an employee of the Bank of China, he will shoot and kill three employees of Bank of China."

This fierce move made Chen Hongchi feel embarrassed!

In the end, it was still in Shanghai. No. 76 has the home advantage and firmly grasped the initiative. In the past three months, not only have the staff of the four major banks suffered heavy casualties, but even the Shanghai station has paid a huge price. The operation personnel have almost lost most of them. Even the operation captain Yang Wenbo was also killed in an attack.

Chen Hongchi was also exhausted and could not fight again. Faced with such a severe situation, he had to ask for help from the Chongqing headquarters again.

At the same time, under such a fierce attack, the four major state-owned banks could no longer hold on and jointly requested the Chongqing Military Government Command to stop this bloody battle.

The three consecutive months of bloody financial battles have caused chaos in Shanghai's financial order, and everyone from all walks of life in Shanghai is in danger. The British, American and French governments have put pressure on the Chongqing government, and strongly called for an early end to this bloody situation.

Under such a situation, the commander had to reconsider it. If the situation continued to develop, his side could not bear the major losses and finally made a helpless decision to end the war.

So the bureau chief received an order to contact him in private with the Nanjing government, shake hands and make peace, ensure the financial status of the four major banks in Shanghai, and rescue 200 employees of the Bank of China as soon as possible.

This makes it difficult for the bureau to be difficult. This matter is easier said than done! Now the military unification side is unable to bear the battle again and is at an absolute disadvantage. How could the Nanjing government and No. 76 be so easy to talk to?

Especially Li Zhiqun, who performed outstandingly in this financial war and was in full swing. He was just as proud, and he wanted to take advantage of the victory and completely squeeze the four major state-owned banks out of Shanghai. In front of the Nanjing government, he showed up and earned enough capital to consolidate his position.

Therefore, it is simply not feasible to propose a truce in one's own way. Now that the initiative is in the hands of Li Zhiqun, he can only negotiate with him to avoid greater losses.

The director thought for a long time, but it was unimaginable. He had a secret conversation with the Japanese in Hong Kong before, but he was not in a close relationship and almost suffered a big loss. If Ning Zhiheng had not turned the tide and got the engine drawings, he would not know how to end now!

After that, he unilaterally suspended the negotiations and his contact channels with the Japanese were interrupted. He can only seek help from third parties.
