What Liu Youjun said also taught Lu Chengzhou a lesson.
At the national level, the low price of imported goods is due to the massive loss of silver.
Once China's industrial and commercial enterprises close down on a large scale, foreign enterprises will eventually be allowed to occupy the market. In the long run, the interests of ordinary people will be harmed.
The increase in silver prices will also cause China's currency exchange rate to rise against major Western countries, stimulating imports, while exports will decline significantly during the same period.
The export value of China's main commodities, such as raw silk and tea, has been decreasing year by year. This year, the export value is only one-third compared to five years ago.
China's currency reform is the biggest obstacle, perhaps not from the people, but from Japan.
Lu Chengzhou did not report to Nozaki immediately, but contacted Li Xiangxue first.
"Currency reform is still beneficial to the country." Li Xiangxue said slowly.
The Communist Party has a broad mind. As long as it is beneficial to the country, it will support it without hesitation.
"That's what I want to think about," Lu Chengzhou said.
"There is good news. The leading troops of the Central Red Army have arrived in northern Shaanxi and the local Red Army has joined forces." Li Xiangxue said with a smile.
The Red Army had been on a long march, and the Kuomintang troops pursued and intercepted them along the way, causing the army to suffer heavy losses.
This time in northern Shaanxi, after joining forces with the local Red Army, the Red Army can at least rest for a while.
"That's great." Lu Chengzhou said happily.
"One more thing. The superiors have instructed that the student self-government associations of universities and middle schools in Peiping and Haigu will issue a "Declaration of Fighting for Freedom to Resist Japan and Save the Nation." Li Xiangxue said.
"This declaration will definitely stimulate the Kuomintang government." Lu Chengzhou said.
"So, you need to pay attention to this situation." Li Xiangxue reminded.
"I am in contact with progressive students in Haigu under the orders of the military commander and the Japanese secret service," said Lu Chengzhou.
"What step is it now?" Li Xiangxue asked.
"We haven't had formal contact yet." Lu Chengzhou introduced to Li Xiangxue the situation of contact with Xiao Dianrong.
"What do you think?" Li Xiangxue asked.
"Since Wen Jianmin is actively moving closer to the organization, we can just take the opportunity to give him a chance to perform." Lu Chengzhou said with a smile.
Lu Chengzhou had already considered how to use Wen Jianmin.
The reason why Wen Jianmin's identity has not been revealed is to deliver false news to the enemy.
Wen Jianmin couldn't contact the students, so he went to Ningyuan every day.
After wandering around for a few days, he finally met Xiao Dianrong.
"Classmate Xiao, is everyone okay?" Wen Jianmin asked with concern.
"Thank you for the news. Everyone is safe." Xiao Dianrong said gratefully.
"As long as everyone is safe," Wen Jianmin said humbly.
"We will go to Peiping at the end of next month, and we will ask you for more help then," Xiao Dianrong said.
"At the end of next month? No problem." Wen Jianmin's eyes flashed with joy.
That night, Wen Jianmin excitedly ran to Kawasaki Hiroshi and reported the good news to him.
"You mean, students in Haigu will have activities at the end of the month?" Kawasaki Hiro squinted his eyes and said slowly.
"It should be." Wen Jianmin said firmly.
Kawasaki Hiroshi quickly reported Lu Chengzhou's information to Nozaki.
"Is Wen Jianmin's information accurate?" Nozaki asked.
Lu Chengzhou also sent him information that students in Haigu may issue a national statement at the end of this month or early next month.
"It should be accurate." Kawasaki Hiroshi said.
Wen Jianmin had just eliminated a disaster for the students in Haigu. Xiao Dianrong was extremely grateful to him. The news he had revealed unintentionally must be true.
"However, the news from the Railway Station is that students in Haigu will have an event at the end of this month or early next month." Nozaki said.
"At the beginning of next month?" Kawasaki Hiro frowned. This required him to judge between Wen Jianmin and Lu Chengzhou. After all, they were one month apart.
"I think the news about the 'railway' is more reliable," Nozaki said.
He was relatively reassured about Lu Chengzhou's ability.
"Nozaki-kun and Wen Jianmin were the first to contact the students, so his information is the most accurate," Kawasaki Hiroshi said.
"The 'Railway' also reported something. The National Government is preparing for currency reform, issuing banknotes and canceling the circulation of silver dollars." Nozaki said slowly.
"What?" Kawasaki Hiroshi said in surprise.
China is like a patient, and currency reform is a good medicine that may make China recover.
This is something Japan absolutely cannot allow. Once China's economy begins to recover, it will be a huge threat to Japan.
"Japan must oppose this currency reform of the Chinese government!" Nozaki said firmly.
"The information on the 'Railway' is very important and needs to be reported to the garrison immediately." Kawasaki Hiroshi said.
Compared to the student movement, this information about Lu Chengzhou is more important.
No matter how violent the students in Haigu are, they will not threaten Japan's security.
However, if the Chinese government's currency reform goes smoothly, it is very likely that China will rise from there.
This is the outcome Japan least wants to see. It must strive to nip the Chinese government’s currency reform in the cradle before it even begins.
Although Hiroshi Kawasaki is an instructor at the police training center, he is also a staff officer of the garrison army.
"Where did your information come from?" Takashi Sakai asked in a deep voice after listening to Kawasaki Hiroshi's report.
As the chief of staff of the garrison, he already knew some information in this regard from other channels.
"Information provided by 'Railway'." Kawasaki Hiroshi said respectfully.
Although Lu Chengzhou worked at the Nozaki Mansion, he could serve the garrison at any time as long as the garrison needed it.
The most important thing is that Lu Chengzhou was developed by him.
The more important the information Lu Chengzhou obtained, the brighter his face would be.
"The 'railway' of Nozaki Mansion?" Takashi Sakai said.
"It's him. The Railway is currently performing very well, and the military commander attaches great importance to him." Kawasaki Hiroshi said with a smile.
"Very good, you should pay more attention to people like this." Sakai Takashi said thoughtfully.
The garrison army asked Nozaki to pass information to Lu Chengzhou and keep an eye on the latest news from the Kuomintang.
"Japan attaches great importance to our country's currency reform, and it is estimated that they will interfere." Lu Chengzhou said.
"We have the support of the United Kingdom. Even if they interfere again, we must carry out the reform to the end." Liu Youjun said firmly.
"Mr. Liu, the students in Haigu may organize a big movement with the students in Peking at the end of October or early November." Lu Chengzhou added.
"These students are mostly bewitched by the Communist Party. Students in school don't study hard and think about resisting Japan every day. With the national army here, what are they doing?" Liu Youjun said dissatisfied.
"Students are just fooling around." Lu Chengzhou agreed.
On November 1, 1935, the student self-government associations of ten colleges and universities in Peiping and Haigu issued the "Declaration of Freedom for Resisting Japan and Saving the Nation," demanding freedom of speech, conclusion, and assembly.
