689 Economic warfare
"Under the premise of frozen soil, it is very unwise for us to rely on the sapper shovel in our hands to dig by manpower.
This first one is a bomb crater, a bomb crater formed by the explosion of shells thrown by the enemy, this is an excellent bunker, if it is big enough and deep enough, it can simply save us from digging again, and it can be used as a cover directly.
In addition, the devil artillery subconsciously did not continue to drop bombs on the bombed crater, but it was safer.
If it is not large enough, you can use a sapper shovel to excavate a part, and at this time the frozen soil has been broken, and it is relatively easy to excavate.
The second is that we can do it ourselves, we can dig a small hole in the frozen soil first, and then stuff the grenade into it, and directly blow up a pit as a cover.
How to do it, how to control the amount of grenades, and where to blow up the opening......"
"Report."
The communication soldiers from the regimental headquarters of Qi Village at the foot of the mountain interrupted the training of Han Feng and his party.
"Report to the regiment commander, the political commissar said that you need to return to the regiment headquarters immediately with the commando."
Han Feng frowned: "Did the political commissar tell me what the hell was going on?" ”
"No, but the political commissar said that if the regiment commander asked, he would say that it was an urgent order from the headquarters."
Han Feng said: "I know, I'll set off with the commando, you go back to your life first!" ”
"Yes."
Han Feng turned to the soldiers and said, "Next, I will give full authority to Duan Peng and the three battalion commanders to carry out your special training. ”
After explaining some details and matters to Duan Peng and the three battalion commanders, Han Feng led the assault team down the mountain and went straight to the regimental headquarters in Qi Village.
He could hear the urgency from Xu Zilin's words from the signal soldiers, it should be some urgent order from the headquarters, and he needed to take the commando team to complete it.
When she arrived at the regiment headquarters, Xu Zilin was already waiting outside the gate of the regiment headquarters, and when she saw Han Feng and his party appear, she hurriedly greeted her.
"Lao Xu, what's wrong, go, said in the house."
Xu Zilin nodded, and followed Han Feng into the regimental room, the room was quiet, only the two of them were left, at this time Han Feng noticed that there was a very large wooden box on the kang in the regimental room, and the box mouth was locked with a lock.
"Lao Xu, what's going on?"
Xu Zilin said: "I don't know how to say it, you can open this box yourself first!" ”
Han Feng took the copper key handed over by Xu Zilin in confusion, then inserted the lock cylinder to open the lock, opened the wooden box and looked at it, and was stunned.
Money, a lot of money, a whole box full of fiat currency.
After the central bank of Guomin issued these fiat currencies in a unified manner and imposed their use with relevant policies, this fiat currency became popular in most parts of the country.
During this period, it was the currency that was used almost everywhere.
At present, the depreciation of fiat currency has not shown a big tendency, and 100 yuan fiat currency can still buy a pig!
So how much actual value does this whole wooden box of fiat currency have, Han Feng knows it all too well in his heart.
"Lao Xu, so much fiat currency, you asked me to come back with the commando, what order came from the headquarters?"
Xu Zilin said: "The commander's order, repeatedly emphasized, let us send this money to Luxi in the Hebei-Shandong-Henan border region as soon as possible, the Luxi base area has recently encountered difficulties, and this time I see that the coldest time is approaching, and there are still a large number of comrades there who do not have cotton clothes for the winter!" The 600,000 legal tender was specially used to buy winter clothes for Comrade Lu Xi and tide over the difficulties. ”
Han Feng said: "I understand, the commander meant to let me take the assault team and escort this box of fiat currency to the Luxi base area." ”
"Yes."
"Okay, then without further ado, I'll go and inform the bull that they are ready to go."
"How are you going to go?"
"If you want to arrive as soon as possible, I am ready to cross the Yellow River south with the big cattle."
"On the way, you will inevitably pass through enemy-occupied areas, and once these fiat currencies are discovered by the Japanese counterfeiters or by the fruit army, then you will be in trouble."
Han Feng said with a smile: "Don't worry, there are few of us, try to walk close to the mountains, you also know the ability of the commando, it is impossible for the devil to find us." ”
Speaking of which, looking at this box of fiat currency, another war without gunpowder suddenly appeared in Han Feng's head:
Economic warfare, monetary and financial warfare.
As a matter of fact, the launching of a war is by no means singular, it includes many and a wide range of other aspects, and is dominated by military wars, political wars, economic wars, and cultural wars, and the contradictory political systems of the two sides attack and fight each other.
Only then did Han Feng realize that he had always neglected the economic war, and instead devoted all his energy to military warfare.
As everyone knows, such a war without gunpowder smoke also plays a pivotal role in the overall war situation.
Of course, political power comes out of the barrel of a gun, and if wars in other areas are to be started, they all depend on the premise of victory in military wars.
But this still does not deny the enormous role that financial warfare can play in a war.
Just like the box of fiat currency in front of him, it gave Han Feng too much inspiration.
Thinking of this, Han Feng suddenly asked, "Old Xu, have you heard of financial wars?" ”
Xu Zilin nodded, "When I was in college, I heard a little bit from an economics lecturer, the term finance was first coined after the Meiji Restoration of the Japanese army, and financial war probably refers to a battle without gunpowder to maximize the interests of each other's two groups through currency, reputation and some economic activities. ”
"It's worthy of being a famous college student, Lao Xu, you know a lot."
Xu Zilin said: "Learning, learning is endless, it's better to know a little more, over the years, many bases have suffered a big loss in this regard because they don't understand this knowledge."
Why did he issue fiat currency? A big reason is that he wants to control the economic lifeline of our base area through this only form of circulating currency, so as to control our team.
But after all, he thought all this too beautifully, and our base also has a way to deal with this kind of monetary monopoly.
Over the years, many of our border areas have produced their own auxiliary coins, and these border coins, because of the good reputation of our Eighth Route Army, have an attitude that they will not let the people suffer, but they are extremely popular among the people. ”
Han Feng said with a smile: "Then do you think that our Zhongtiao Mountain base here should also start this financial war, and we must not let the little devils take advantage of it in vain." ”
Xu Zilin came back to her senses and said, "But although our base is becoming more and more stable, the equipment and corresponding technology for printing banknotes at hand are not at all.
Moreover, if we want to fight this financial war, we must first have a start-up capital that is enough to win the trust and protection of the people. ”
Han Feng said: "Don't worry, I'll figure out a way to do this, after I leave, you first notify Dai Xing and Fang Wenfu, and let the two of them contact the comrades of the underground party to see if they have any experience and technology in printing money, if it really doesn't work, wait for our equipment to come back, and then send someone to the headquarters banknote printing factory to study." ”
