Chapter two hundred and sixty-one disasters move eastward
"I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have disturbed your rest during New Year's Day. I received such an expensive gift from Mr. Chen. Thank you very much. Please take a seat." Lieutenant Commander Gangda bowed and said.
The heads of the Sugi Agency, Okada Nakasa and Sakata Seimori, accepted the "New Year's Day gift" from Chen Mingxiang, which was beautifully packaged with high-quality and valuable tea, silk, red wine and cigars. Looking at the pile of things, they always felt a little bit
Awkward.
Chen Mingxiang's salary at the Shangai Agency was based on the rank of Army Major, 220 yen per month. He probably couldn't even buy the red wine and cigars.
There were a row of wooden boxes in the office. Chen Mingxiang noticed that one of the lids had been opened, and they were all filled with old French currency.
"Chen Jun, this is a legal currency printed with improved technology. Come and experience it for yourself. Although there are still some differences compared to the original version, the simulation level reaches 90%. Unless you are a banking professional, you will never be able to identify the authenticity."
Sakata Seimori said.
Chen Mingxiang picked up a bundle of counterfeit banknotes, looked at them carefully, touched them with his hands, and was shocked. Since he joined the Shan government, he had paid great attention to the characteristics of legal currency. He never expected that the Japanese would copy them to such an extent.
He nodded and said: "Although there is still some difference in the intaglio on the front, it does not affect its use. If it is mixed with real banknotes, it will be difficult for me to distinguish it."
The facts were here, and he couldn't open his eyes and tell lies. He had to admit what he had to admit, even though it might bring some trouble.
"The total number of simulated legal tenders shipped from Japan this time is 20 million. Our coinage experts are continuing to improve the templates and find ways to improve the technology of legal tenders. A large number of banknotes will be shipped one after another. As long as the war does not stop, this project will
The work will continue.”
"The base camp issued an order, in view of the serious shortage of domestic resources, requiring all Chinese dispatched troops to implement the strategy of supporting war with war from this year. Therefore, the pressure on strategic material reserves is very high."
"Huatong Trading Company has a strong business network in Chiang Kai-shek District, and its partners have strong backgrounds and strong capabilities. This is a very precious channel. After discussions with General Kinoshita of the Military Police Headquarters, I decided to let Huatong Trading Company join in."
.”
"I will give you 10 million counterfeit French currency and allow you to withhold 40% of it as funds. You only need to pay 6 million in supplies according to the market price to complete the task." Lieutenant Commander Okada said.
Damn it, the plot is still on me!
The conditions given are really good, with four million legal currency counterfeit bills as funding, but although the legal currency is depreciating, six million is not a small number now.
For example, the purchase price of a load of tung oil by the Japanese army was only 300 French currency, which meant that they had to purchase 20,000 loads of tung oil, which would cause huge losses to the foreign trade of the Kuomintang-controlled area.
"I am willing to serve the empire. I will live up to the hopes of your two Excellencies and complete the tasks assigned by the Shan Agency as soon as possible. However, the time may not be too fast. Such a large quantity of purchases will take at least four months or half a year, and the market situation will be affected accordingly.
Affected." Chen Mingxiang said.
Since you have to do it whether you do it or not, agree quickly and you can still make a good impression and gain support from the agency.
As for how to operate it, it depends on your own methods. This agency is too insidious and vicious. You must contact as many people as possible to collect relevant information on counterfeit money.
Chen Mingxiang judged that the 20 million counterfeit banknotes were not large-scale printing. According to the information he received during the meeting at the Sugi Agency, the secret mint of the Japanese Army Ministry could print 2 million legal currency counterfeit banknotes in one day. This was only 10 million counterfeit banknotes.
Just a day’s production.
Maybe the agency also felt that the level of simulation was not enough and did not dare to start manufacturing in large quantities day and night. The first test failed. This time it is still a test. Once the results are obvious, a large number of counterfeit banknotes will flood into the Kuomintang-controlled areas like a tide.
"No problem, it will only take half a year, mainly to purchase tung oil, bristles, wood, rosin, rice and other materials. If you need any support, just say hello to us, and the imperial army from all over the country will cooperate with you to provide guarantee for trade."
Tanaka Zuo said.
When Wang Zhen discovered the code left by Chen Mingxiang, he took out the information and returned to his residence. When he saw the content above, he was shocked and quickly reported it to the bureau headquarters.
The frantic Japanese army actually wanted to use Dongfeng's company to purchase strategic materials in the Kuomintang-controlled area using six million counterfeit French currency. This kind of thing is simply terrifying!
"Inspector, isn't the information sent by our stationmaster very interesting?" An Ran said with a smile.
Chen Mingxiang, the deputy station chief, is very mysterious to the members of the direct station, because no one knows his specific identity. Only the inspector, intelligence team leader and telecommunications team leader Wang Zhen can contact him.
His information can only be handled by Wang Zhen. Others are not allowed to inquire about his identity or access his information. The entire direct station serves him alone.
"No wonder Boss Dai uses a C-type station to serve him. This person's thinking and methods are unimaginable. To partner with him, you must have a very strong psychological quality, otherwise you may get heart disease. Every time you see his information, you will be surprised.
It's so exciting." Wang Zhen said with a smile.
For Chen Mingxiang, this is an extremely important event. If he fails to follow the orders of the Shan Agency, it will inevitably affect the trust between him and the Japanese army, or lose the value of being used.
If according to the arrangements of Shan agency, six million legal currency counterfeit banknotes flow into the Kuomintang-controlled area, the result will be disastrous, and he must listen to Boss Dai's instructions.
Of course, a subordinate who pushes problems to the boss is definitely not a subordinate that the boss likes. Only those who come up with practical solutions to problems will be valued.
He prepared a plan for the Shan Agency's mission, transferring the risk to the Shanghai Stock Exchange, thereby destroying the commercial network that smuggled supplies for the Japanese army in one fell swoop.
"I knew the Japanese wouldn't give up. This is a hugely profitable business. Is there any comparison between printing banknotes and getting profits?" Dai Li said bitterly.
"Secretary, if these six million counterfeit banknotes are put in, the problem will be too serious. It will disrupt the financial order of our Kuomintang-controlled area and cause materials to flow out in vain."
"Chunfeng suggested a plan to move the trouble eastward, using the accounts connected with our Military Command Bureau to digest all of his 10 million counterfeit legal currency notes in the Shanghai stock market, irritating the Japanese, disrupting the financial order of the Shanghai stock market, and by the way
Give the newly established China Reserve Bank a heart-wrenching punch."
"The trouble with this is that the Japanese military has restricted him to complete the procurement of six million strategic supplies within six months, but doing so will inevitably extend the procurement time, and using counterfeit money to purchase supplies also requires a process." Pan Qiwu said.
