The dock is a place where every inch of land is at a premium, and the distance between warehouses is only a few meters away. Han Lin ran quickly on the roof of his warehouse and then jumped to the roof of the warehouse next door. He tied the rope and entered the warehouse through the vent.
internal.
Cao Jiandong and others held pistols and watched nervously. About ten minutes later, Han Lin climbed out of the vent, threw a piece of object far into the grass, and then followed the rope to the roof again, but only pulled the rope.
Went back to the roof, but didn't untie it.
"Boss, what kind of goods is inside?" Cao Jiandong asked hurriedly when Han Lin returned to the office.
"You'll know when I pick things up," Han Lin said.
He was also frightened when he entered the warehouse. The warehouse was full of wooden boxes, and they were actually filled with unmarked large whitebait. And from the appearance, they were all cast recently.
He immediately thought of the period before and after the issuance of legal currency. Because the United States purchased a large amount of silver, the price of silver rose rapidly. A large amount of silver from China was smuggled into foreign countries, which almost caused a currency and fiscal crisis.
Among them, there were also Japanese invaders who plundered silver from Northeast China and North China, as well as Shanghai and Jinling. They also seized the silver in banks and earned a lot of military expenses.
It was also because of the emergence of legal currency that the life of the Jinling government was saved. The finance and economy did not completely collapse, but they also suffered heavy losses.
One box is about two hundred kilograms, and each box contains twenty silver bricks. A rough count shows that there are more than a thousand boxes in the warehouse. This is at least one hundred tons. According to the international unit of silver, it can be converted to three hundred
More than 10,000 ounces, according to the purchase price of silver in the United States from memory, it is almost 2.7 million US dollars. Even in the Shanghai stock market where there are many rich people, there are not many people with this worth.
Han Lin took the silver brick back and weighed it, one hundred and sixty taels. This was the weight standard during the Republic of China. One kilogram equals sixteen taels. According to the popular standard, it is ten kilograms and one hundred taels.
"It's all silver? Oh my god, how much does it cost?" Cao Jiandong said in shock.
"A piece of ocean is more than 26 grams, and pure silver is more than 23 grams. Calculate it is about more than 4 million oceans! It is equivalent to the total military expenditure of 20 Central Military A-type divisions for one month, and the two divisions have at least ten years of military expenditures.
The total amount of funds. Silver is cheap, but if it were gold, it would be terrible." Han Lin casually put the silver brick aside.
"Boss, guess where these Japanese spies got so many silver coins to smelt big whitebait?" Xu Yinzheng asked.
"It's hard to say. The silver dollar is the currency we have been using since the end of the Qing Dynasty. It has been circulating in the market in large quantities. It may be that Japanese businessmen used Japanese goods to exchange for it at a low price, or it may be that they bought it at a high price, or even defrauded it. What?
Such tricks are not surprising." Han Lin shook his head and said.
"Then what should we do?" Cao Jiandong asked.
"China's wealth cannot just fall into the hands of the Japanese. Since it is stored in the warehouse at the dock, it means it is shipped and transported. And the ship has not arrived yet. We still have a little time. The first thing is to find out the origin of the money.
"
"Starting from tomorrow, all members of the field team will be involved in this investigation. I will keep a close eye on several important people and places. I will try every means to find out the identities of these people. With so much silver gathered, they must have something in Jinling City.
The channel, and the specific perpetrator must have a cover for public activities." Han Lin thought for a while and said.
"Where is the dock warehouse? If the Japanese come tomorrow and load the silver on the ship, the Jinling government will never dare to confront the Japanese head-on." Xu Yinzheng said.
"You are right. President Chiang of the Jinling government and Vice President Wang of the pro-Japanese faction are unable to withstand Japan's aggressiveness. But why do the Japanese secretly use traitors in the middle of the night to send silver here to hide?
"
"The Japanese government's strategy is to force the Jinling government to cooperate with them and take the opportunity to control the currency and finance of the Jinling government. What a huge benefit is this? Not to mention a hundred tons of silver, even a thousand tons cannot be risked. This point
If the incident breaks out, it will be a huge scandal and will stimulate the Jinling government to move closer to Britain and the United States. This is the result the Japanese government least wants to see."
"I dare to conclude that it is not that simple to collect one hundred tons of silver. There must be ulterior secrets. Therefore, tomorrow I will order the special police team of the Military Police Command to be openly sent to all docks to perform inspection tasks. The police department will be responsible
The land transportation inspection period is half a month. Intelligence reports that there are people from the underground party taking goods. All goods boarded at the dock must be strictly inspected. Anyone who dares to be careless will be subject to military law once discovered." Han Lin said.
This large-scale land and water transportation inspection was held by Han Lin in order to confuse the enemy. As long as he was investigating underground parties, it was very easy for the superiors to approve it. For this reason, he also had to contact Xu Wanyue and "tell" the Japanese spies through her.
Don't worry, authorities, it will be shipped out smoothly in seven days.
Office of the Commander of the Military Police Command.
"Reporting to the commander, we unexpectedly learned while collecting intelligence that the underground party organization in Jinling wants to transport supplies to the border area of Zhejiang, Jiangxi and Anhui, so I plan to conduct a major land and water inspection for half a month. The military police headquarters and
The police department jointly blocked all major traffic routes and tried their best to intercept and prevent supplies from being transported out of Jinling. During this time, we also tried our best to find underground party personnel and supplies," Han Lin said.
"Did you get the news too?" Gu Zhenglun asked with a smile.
What do you mean I also got the news? I made up the news, who else got the news?
Han Lin suddenly thought that because he wanted to block the dock, the cover-up operation and the operation of a certain force to arrest the underground party accidentally overlapped.
As for who carried out the operation, it was either Division One or Division Three of the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, or the Special Police Team of the Military Police Headquarters. This is the main threat to dealing with the underground party. In principle, Division Two is only responsible for the investigation of the underground party by the Military Police.
Work.
"Commander, from what you're saying, which department seems to be ahead of me?" Han Lin also asked with a smile.
"It's a case from the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics, but the identity of the informant is not a core member of Jinling's underground party organization. The information is a bit vague, so more manpower is needed to make the layout. Director Chen personally called me and asked our military police
The headquarters and the police department are responsible for cooperating to block the waterway traffic arteries of Jinling City, and your plan coincides with theirs."
"But you are a step late, and you don't have clear clues. They have at least got information that can narrow the scope. Although we are our own people, and the credit of the Military Police Section is also the credit of the Military Police Headquarters, I can't refuse anything.
