Three hundred and twentieth chapters save the loss
The Wang Puppet Government is one of the three major puppet regimes established by Japan in China. According to region, it is the so-called "Puppet Manchukuo" established in Northeast China, the "Puppet North China Provisional Government" established in North China and the "Wang Puppet Government" in central China.
"Although after the establishment of the Wang Puppet Government, it merged with the Puppet Regime in North China, in fact, the three parties still performed on their own stage, and no one could control the other.
The Mei Agency was the core of the military advisory group of the Wang Puppet Government. Japan established many intelligence agencies in China, which were gradually dismantled. However, because of its support for the Wang Puppet Government, the Mei Agency was not only retained, but also became very popular in the Army Ministry and the base camp.
The Japanese government currently pursues the policy of using special measures to control Wang, and does not trust Wang Jingwei and the Wang puppet government, because although the number one traitor has succumbed to Japanese pressure, he is actually not that submissive and unwilling to be a puppet in name only.
Since the establishment of the Wang Puppet Government, it has continued to compete for power from the Japanese army. To be honest, the autonomy of the Wang Puppet Government is much stronger than that of the Puppet Manchukuo.
Under such circumstances, the Mei agency, as the manipulator behind the scenes, must take measures to monitor the Wang puppet government and restrain the "expanded" Wang Jingwei, and using the secret service is one of the main measures.
Secretary-General, Li Shiqun mainly benefited from the policy guidance of the Japanese government.
"Look, this is what Li Shiqun did. He put the counterfeit banknotes on the market and ignored them. However, many factories and companies in Shanghai successively found counterfeit banknotes in the payment of goods. Even the workers' salaries were checked and found to be counterfeit banknotes. It was simply
A disaster.”
"The dealers and manufacturers were arguing endlessly, even going to the police station, and official documents from the concession board were sent to the city government. They are really a bunch of bastards who fail to succeed but fail to succeed." Chen Gongbo made no secret of his dissatisfaction with Li Shiqun.
Although the Japanese print and use counterfeit banknotes, they will never bear the losses of the victims. It is too late for them to cover up their crimes. How can they take the initiative to get involved?
The municipal government led by Chen Gongbo actually thought about trying to win people's hearts, but due to its own financial problems, it was impossible to spend such a large sum of money. The result was that the people suffered.
Those small-scale factories with insufficient strength are likely to go bankrupt once there is a problem with their payment. The salary of ordinary workers is only more than 30 yuan. If they cannot spend the counterfeit money, the whole family will go hungry.
The manufacturer must negotiate with the dealer. Damn you, you brought counterfeit money to buy my goods. What you did is so unethical. You have to compensate for my losses!
The dealer will definitely not admit it. When I paid you, I didn’t say it was counterfeit money. Now that something has happened, who knows who you paid the counterfeit money from?
The police station is only responsible for filing cases and investigating and confiscating counterfeit currency. As for the issue of compensation, that is not the scope of the police. Let’s go to the city government to solve it!
Facing the scolding in Shanghai, Chen Gongbo hated Li Shiqun with all his heart. Even though he was a complete traitor, he also hoped that he, the mayor, could have a better reputation in Shanghai. But Li Shiqun, a bastard, was clearly trying to tear him down.
On the stage, the attitude is naturally very bad.
"I think this is a good opportunity for China Reserve Bank. Aren't everyone unwilling to use China Reserve Bonds? You can discuss with Minister Zhou and ask people to exchange counterfeit coins for China Reserve Bonds. It's only 10 million. China Reserve Bank
The banks can totally afford it.”
"This not only wins over people's hearts, but also suppresses the legal currency. Our city government can also fulfill its responsibilities and establish an image of serving the people." Chen Mingxiang said.
Chen Mingxiang did not want to hurt the people of Shanghai because of his plan. Life was not easy for everyone during the war. He took advantage of the Wang Puppet Government, Wang Jingwei, Chen Gongbo and Zhou Fahai's psychology of seeking fame and reputation to come up with such a "bad idea" to solve the problem.
question.
Does 10 million China Reserve Bonds count? The answer is simple, it doesn’t even count!
In fact, as long as the Japanese agree, the Bank of China can print as much money as it wants, which is nothing more than running the money printing machine for four or five days, consuming a little bit of printing materials and paper.
"This is a good idea. You are right. The municipal government should do something practical for the people of Shanghai. You should write a report and submit it immediately. I will sign it and send it to Chairman Wang for approval. I will call Zhou Fahai later.
, communicate in advance and let him do the work for the Japanese."
"You also reported this matter to the Mei Agency, the Central China Liaison Department of Xingya Yuan and the Military Police Headquarters. On the one hand, it shows that the Jinling government has just been established for a year, and its current foundation is not solid yet. It needs to win over people's hearts. On the other hand, in order to maintain the Shanghai stock market
To achieve economic prosperity and social stability, we need to appease those people who have suffered losses."
"More importantly, the concession board of directors is very concerned about the counterfeit banknote incident and has put pressure on the municipal government. In order to avoid expanding the impact, decisive measures must be taken." Chen Gongbo said.
Wang Jingwei will definitely agree. This will be good for the reputation of the Jinling government and the loss will not be big. Just print more money. The Japanese will even agree. The Jinling government and the city government will come forward to clean up this mess. This is the best outcome at the moment.
Sure enough, things went very smoothly. The high-level officials of the Wang Puppet Government agreed to this plan, and the Japanese side also agreed very happily. Therefore, Chen Gongbo issued an announcement in the name of the Municipal Government and the Social Affairs Bureau, requiring all counterfeit banknotes found in the Shanghai Stock Exchange to arrive as soon as possible.
China Reserve Bank Shanghai Branch redeems China Reserve Bonds.
"Recently, unscrupulous businessmen have secretly printed counterfeit banknotes for profit, which has seriously disrupted the social order and people's livelihood in Shanghai, and caused huge losses to the people of Shanghai. The consequences are serious. As the mayor, I feel the same way."
"With the approval of Chairman Wang of the Jinling Government, the China Reserve Bank and the municipal government decided to bear this loss to relieve people's hardship," Chen Gongbo said in an interview with the newspaper.
The matter seems to have been solved perfectly, but is it really so?
Chen Mingxiang also understands that the circulation of China Reserve Bonds in the market is very small, especially food, vegetables, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, etc. that are related to daily life. They are all unavailable because people do not recognize them. However, the circulation of China Reserve Bonds is inevitable.
What he had to do was to endure it for a while, which was the best he could do.
"This is the best news I have received since the Anti-Japanese War. Since Britain and the United States want to impose sanctions on Japan and impose an embargo, the steel, oil, machinery, aircraft, automobiles and other military supplies used by Japan to launch the war will soon be in crisis.
This will greatly reduce the pressure on our mountain city governments."
"Chunfeng has done a very good job. He can even obtain this kind of national-level intelligence. I will report it to the committee immediately. I believe the old man will be very excited. Since the beginning of the all-out war of resistance, we have been overwhelmed.
We can finally see some results." Boss Dai was overjoyed when he received the message.
