Things turned out as Wang Xuexin expected. Jiang Guorui, who was negotiating with the Chief of Staff, simply sent a telegram to Chongqing for instructions, and soon gave the Chief of Staff a positive reply.
After all, these are counterfeit banknotes, and their greatest value lies in spending them to disrupt the enemy's financial system. If the Eighth Route Army can do it for them, why not the stubborn army?
As for whether it will bring food to the Eighth Route Army to tide over the difficulties and affect the strategy of the stubborn army, that is a matter between the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese!
At the same time, for the stubborn troops, they just threw out a bunch of paper and printing equipment, and could sit back and watch the Japanese and the Eighth Route Army fight overtly and openly for supplies... There was nothing more comfortable than this.
Therefore, the stubborn army is very active in this regard.
Jiang Guorui even said to the chief of staff on the spot: "We can immediately provide your army with an additional 50 million yuan in China Reserve Bonds!"
The so-called Central Reserve Banknotes are banknotes issued by the so-called "Central Reserve Bank" of the Wang Puppet Government.
It has only been a month since it was issued, but Chongqing has produced a large amount of counterfeit coins and even shipped them to the front line. This speed is fast enough.
However, this seems to be normal. The insider in Chongqing was the Finance Minister of the Wang Puppet regime. Long before the banknotes were officially issued, that is, when China Reserve Bank Notes were still being printed, Chongqing had already obtained the banknote printing version.
The 50 million China Reserve Vouchers were delivered to the base area three days later.
The reason why it was so fast is that it was transported from Shangrao, Jiangxi to the base area...Shangrao is one of the contact points for the stubborn army to release counterfeit banknotes.
After the chief of staff returned from the negotiation, the chief convened a meeting with cadres from various departments.
At this time, Wang Xuexin was training another group of solid powder column workers at the headquarters. He was also a proposer of counterfeit banknotes, so he was also invited.
At the meeting, the chief happily said to the cadres: "Comrades, the chief of staff went to Yangcheng to negotiate a big deal this time. The stubborn army plans to use the equipment to print counterfeit China Reserve Bonds to exchange rocket production technology with us.
From now on, in the financial war, we will no longer only be passively beaten as before, but can actively fight back!"
The conference room burst into warm applause, although some cadres did not understand... quite a few of them did not know what the newly issued "China Reserve Coupons" were, nor did they know what "financial war" meant.
What's going on, but it's definitely a good thing if you can turn passivity into initiative.
Li Yunlong was outspoken and asked before the applause ended: "What are China Reserve Bonds? Is it a gun or a cannon? Or is it a gun-making thing?"
Li Yunlong guessed this because he was influenced by Chu Yunfei's deal.
He thought to himself that he had bought a bullet production line through a deal with Chu Yunfei, and the chief did not hold a special meeting to commend him. Now that the chief of staff had bought the "China Reserve Bonds" and held a commendation meeting, how could he take the initiative in any battle?
, that must be something very powerful!
After hearing this, the cadres who knew the situation couldn't help laughing.
Ding Wei explained: "Old Li, the reserve certificates here are the money used by the Japanese and the puppet army!"
Li Yunlong's eyes widened: "What? I said it was a good thing! Money used by the Japanese and the puppet army? What are we doing with that stuff? Don't we have border currency? I don't care about it!"
Li Yunlong may have many clever ideas in fighting wars, but he knows nothing about financial warfare.
Kong Jie explained: "Lao Li, just because we can print, doesn't mean we have to use this money!"
"Don't be so sloppy with me!" Li Yunlong retorted: "If we don't use it, what's the point of printing it? Burn it as paper money? Don't play with me like a three-year-old child!"
"Hey, I said you..." Kong Jie didn't know how to explain it for a moment, and just made everyone laugh.
The leader smiled and explained: "Li Yunlong, you should learn from Xiao Dongbei in this regard, he is the one who came up with this idea!"
"What?" Li Yunlong, who was originally unhappy, turned upside down when he heard this, and glared at Wang Xuexin next to him with a pair of murderous eyes.
Wang Xuexin hurriedly explained: "Captain, the money we printed does need to be used, but it is not for ourselves, but for the Japanese! Think about it, just by printing on paper, we can exchange food and things from the Japanese."
, or even replace urgently needed medicines, can we not do it?"
When explaining to Li Yunlong, you should be clear about it in a simple way, especially where you can take advantage of it, so that he can understand!
Sure enough, Li Yunlong was stunned for a moment, and then he immediately smiled "hehehehe" with a dark face: "Is there such a good thing? Then... this business can be done!"
"It must be done!" Wang Xuexin said: "Isn't that what the Japanese do? They print fake money and bring it to us in exchange for food. We also print fake money and go to the enemy-occupied areas to exchange for things. This is tit-for-tat with the Japanese on finance.
Fight!"
"Yes, yes!" Li Yunlong immediately became excited: "Then let's print more, so that the Japanese can't take advantage!"
Ding Wei laughed and said, "Look, everyone, this guy's eyes light up when he talks about taking advantage!"
There was laughter again in the conference room.
"Chief!" Then Kong Jie put forward an opinion: "During this period, the Japanese have a very strict blockade on our army. There are gun towers and isolation ditches on the front line. It is very difficult to transport the China Reserve Bonds!"
The chief nodded in agreement.
The isolation between the Eighth Route Army and the stubborn army was at least connected to some villages, such as a village like Longfengping, half of which were on this side and half on that side. It was difficult to achieve complete isolation, and it was impossible to completely ban the exchanges between the people on both sides.
But the devil is different.
The Japanese burned, killed, and robbed everything within a dozen miles of the quarantine area, turning it into a barren land with only military facilities.
It is indeed not easy for the Eighth Route Army to penetrate this isolation belt without cover or transportation.
In fact, it’s okay to bring money with you. After all, money is small and lightweight, so you can buy a lot of things in one bag.
The problem is that it is difficult to bring something back after changing it.
The chief said: "We can first consider using this money to solve the funding problem of comrades doing intelligence work in enemy-occupied areas. This part does not need to be exchanged for things and brought back!"
This is a good idea. Use the enemy's materials to supply intelligence personnel targeting the enemy, and spend the fake money at the same time.
"In addition..." the chief continued: "If we want to change it into something and bring it back, we can just circle around the area controlled by the stubborn army like the Japanese spy team!"
The cadres nodded in agreement.
The blockade between the Japanese and the stubborn army is not tight, and the blockade of the stubborn army can be opened unnoticed by bribery, so it is much easier to get around it.
Finally, the leader said: "Once the material problem is solved, we must consider breaking the Japanese blockade from the front. We must not let them continue to block it like this!"
