"Comrade Lao Zheng, someone called you at the newspaper office an hour ago. I said you were not here, so he asked you to call him back. He was mysterious and asked who he was. He said that you heard three words of Xifeng wine.
You can tell by the words." The newspaper team members found Zheng Tonghui.
The Shancheng government deliberately provoked trouble, weakened the underground party's military strength, and reduced its scope of activities. This also attracted great attention from the base area.
It was impossible to withdraw completely. The underground party was not a puppet of the mountain city government. However, considering the overall situation of the anti-Japanese war, we finally decided to make some concessions and withdraw some of the main forces in Anhui Province to Jiangbei first.
The army of Anhui Province is not the only one operating in the Jiangnan area. The other troops still have to persist in fighting and develop and strengthen themselves.
The material procurement team in Shanghai held a meeting with the underground municipal committee of Shanghai this evening to discuss how to support the construction of other base areas. As a result, Zheng Tonghui received such news.
"I know who this is. I'll find a public phone and call him back right away." Zheng Tonghui guessed that the man who called himself Xifeng Jiu was Chen Mingxiang.
It was probably a major life-or-death incident, otherwise he, who had very little contact with the underground party, would not have directly called the newspaper office.
Within three minutes, Zheng Tonghui ran to the meeting place with an anxious look on his face and sweat on his forehead.
"Comrade Zheng Tonghui, what happened?" the secretary of the underground municipal party committee asked hurriedly.
"We have received accurate information that the Shancheng government's troops have set up an ambush in Jingxian County to ambush our troops. There are as many as ten thousand people. Please notify the troops to avoid this area immediately!" Zheng Tonghui said.
The comrades present were immediately shocked. Those people from the mountain city government were so insane and crazy!
By this time, the sky was already getting brighter, so the underground municipal party committee quickly used the radio to send the information to the head of the base area, but everyone felt heavy in their hearts and feared that it would be too late.
"Did the comrades lurking within the enemy spread the news?" asked the leader of the underground municipal party committee.
"No, but his identity is very reliable and special and needs to be kept secret for the time being." Zheng Tonghui shook his head and said.
Chen Mingxiang also didn't sleep all night. He couldn't leave the cocktail party at the Military Police Headquarters yesterday. Not only did he meet the commander of the Thirteenth Army, Shigeru Sawada, but he also met the head of the Central China Liaison Department of Koya Institute, Vice Admiral Tsuda Shizue.
, in addition to material procurement, we also talked about counterfeit banknotes, and it was almost two o'clock when the show ended.
After he left the military police headquarters, he hurriedly found a public phone booth in the concession and called the newspaper office, but Zheng Tonghui was not there.
For his own safety, Chen Mingxiang could only use code words to reveal his identity. After he returned home, drank a cup of strong coffee and smoked a cigar, Zheng Tonghui called.
The conversation between the two only took a minute. As for the outcome of the matter, Chen Mingxiang had no choice but to do everything he could. He was just an agent, not a god.
Moreover, doing so has violated the principles that he needs to abide by. The Military Control Bureau regards the underground party as the enemy. If Boss Dai knows about this, he will definitely use family rules to deal with him.
Wang N’s Central Reserve Bank made its debut, and at the same time, the Central Reserve Bank’s exchange notes, the so-called China Reserve Notes, also officially entered the issuance stage.
The Central Reserve Bank issued an announcement that China Reserve Bonds are temporarily circulating at the same price as legal tender. All the military, government and institutions within the jurisdiction of Wang n will pay wages in China Reserve Bonds.
Wang N's Central Reserve Bank signed an agreement with the Cabinet Printing Bureau of Japan. The reserve certificates printed in Tokyo, Japan, are divided into denominations of one yuan, five yuan, ten yuan and fifty yuan, as well as denominations of one cent, two cents, one dime and five cents.
of auxiliary currency notes.
"I have communicated with Xingyayuan and exchanged opinions with Shan government agencies. There is currently no good solution to the possible backflow of counterfeit banknotes, but it will not put Huatong Trading Company in trouble. Xingyayuan's
Minister Shizue Tsuda proposed to use China Reserve Bonds to make up for your losses."
"You also know that China Reserve Bonds are printed in Japan. According to our secret agreement with the Jinling Government Central Reserve Bank, the imperial army has the right to use military notes to exchange for China Reserve Bonds. According to the ratio of ten to one hundred, Xingya Yuan will give
If you have enough compensation, Xingyayuan will replenish the amount of China Reserve Certificates you have lost," Kinoshita Eichi said with a smile.
"Your Majesty General, I am worried that those big customers in Chiang Kai-shek's district who received counterfeit banknotes will use the money to purchase supplies in the Shanghai market. This will disrupt the financial order of the Shanghai market and the counterfeit banknotes will not be covered up." Chen Mingxiang
said.
"You are indeed thoughtful. Xingya Yuan also has such concerns, but it will take a long time for China Reserve Bonds to replace fiat currency, and fiat currency cannot completely withdraw from the market."
"The Shan Agency believes that these counterfeit banknotes are highly imitated. As long as they are not stored in banks, there is no possibility of being discovered. If counterfeit coins are really collected, they can only blame themselves for being unlucky. The imperial army will also give a portion of the money to the central bank appropriately."
Coupon." Kinoshita Eichi said.
According to this statement, the Japanese army compensated those smugglers with China Reserve Bonds. Then didn't Chen Mingxiang's plan have a big loophole?
This is not how things look. After all, China Reserve Bonds are a newly issued currency, and it will take time to gain market recognition.
However, those smugglers who received counterfeit banknotes may not be able to wait for such a long time. With a pile of China Reserve Certificates that they could not buy anything, the liquidity chain was completely cut off, and they were ready to jump off the building.
"Is the matter over in Anhui Province over?" Chen Mingxiang asked Gangcun Major.
He had been worried that the main force of the underground party in Anhui Province would be wiped out, which would be a huge and irreparable loss for the anti-Japanese forces, so he wanted to inquire about the current situation in the extra-high school class.
"The General Headquarters of the Expeditionary Forces attaches great importance to this matter and has dispatched aircraft for reconnaissance. The personnel of the Special High School Division are also keeping a close eye on this matter. The two sides are still fighting fiercely!"
"The underground party's army often fights with the imperial army and has rich actual combat experience. It is not that easy to swallow up the mountain city government's army. I estimate it will take ten days anyway."
"It is a pity that this kind of encirclement and suppression has not been found in other places for the time being. The underground party's army has a wide range of activities. Anhui Province, Hubei Province, Su Province, Hunan Province, Zhejiang Province and Henan Province all have so-called base areas. If Shancheng
If the government really wants to launch an attack, the imperial army will be happy to help." Major Gangmura said.
Chen Mingxiang breathed a sigh of relief. He found that he had entered a misunderstanding. In his opinion, the mountain city government's army was waiting for work and ambushed the underground party's army with twice the strength. The battle would be over in two or three days at most, and the weapons and equipment of both sides were not the same.
hierarchical.
Unexpectedly, the opponent's combat effectiveness was much higher than he thought. The ten days that Major Okamura mentioned must have been a rough assessment based on the battlefield conditions.
