690 River crossing
"Third brother, are we going to Luxi?"
"It's not just Luxi, maybe I'll go to Lunan by the way."
"Why did the commander suddenly let us go to Russy?"
Han Feng pointed to the wooden box on the ground: "We have to send this thing to the Luxi base area." ”
"Third brother, what is it in this box, heavy?"
Han Feng looked at Li Hai and the group of commandos who were asking, and smiled: "Money." ”
Lehi's eyes widened, "Such a big box of money, good boy, how much does this have to be?" ”
"600,000 fiat."
"600,000!"
Lehi's mouth grew long enough to fit a fist, "I've never seen so much money in my life." ”
Han Feng said: "It's good to remind you earlier, this kind of banknote itself has no value, it is a means of media exchange, what is media exchange?" That is, you exchange the ticket in your hand for the physical object in the hands of others, food, clothes, oil and salt, etc.
The purchasing power of this currency depends on the stability and credit of the government, and in the event of a war, it often suffers a huge shock, causing prices to skyrocket.
So don't look at the money, maybe you can buy 6,000 pigs with this money now, and after two months, there will only be 3,000 left, and when the money is even less valuable, maybe this box of money can't even be exchanged for a few grains of rice. ”
"No, then this money is not as useful as butt wiping paper!"
This time, the assault team was relatively complete, except for the captain Duan Peng, who was left in Crouching Tiger Village by Han Feng to continue the special training of the Far Eastern Army soldiers before going to the Northeast, the others were basically there.
During this time, Lao Hei, Xu Jingyou, and Shen Ping assisted Dai Xing and Fang Wenfu in making the underground organizations in the Yangcheng area impressive, and the Japanese spies were so busy that some of the enemy-occupied counties and towns were even a little muddy.
After handing over the work at hand, the three of them withdrew and returned to the commando.
Lao Hei was in charge of the intelligence work of the commando, and he spent most of these years collecting intelligence and information in enemy-occupied areas, which can be described as well-informed.
Lao Hei was deeply touched by the magic of currency: "This coin can also be used to fight, if you use it well, if we don't use it, all the materials and equipment in the enemy-occupied areas of the devils will run to our base area, and if we don't use it well, then all our things will run into the hands of the little devils."
The head of the regiment is right, although this thing sounds bluffing.
But now it's messing around, sometimes in a small county town, there are as many as a dozen kinds of this kind of coins alone, who do you say you should use to buy things?
So the more wars are fought, for ordinary people, money is the least valuable in their hands. ”
Li Haidao: "Lao Hei, then you say, if I have a large amount of money on hand now, what should I do?" ”
Lao Hei said disdainfully: "I've calculated the appearance for you, you are a poor bachelor of the third generation, and you are just the third in your life, don't expect to get rich." ”
Everyone laughed, and Lehi said with a dark face: "I mean seriously, how do you know that I have been a poor bachelor all my life?" When this battle is over, I still want to do some business, become a businessman and earn more money, so that I and my family can live a happy life! ”
Lao Hei said: "Then you have to use the money in hand to exchange for the goods that appreciated the fastest at that time, for example, what rose the fastest in price during this war?" Of course, it's grain, rice, noodles, the more you hoard these things, the better, you have the goods in your hands, and in the future, it doesn't matter how much currency there is in circulation, who is in charge, you have this grain in hand, this is the real wealth. ”
Then everyone discussed the issue of taking the 600,000 fiat currency to the Luxi base this time.
Han Feng's idea: "The 600,000 fiat currency is too eye-catching to put in this wooden box, we have a total of seventeen people, if we divide these fiat currencies equally among each of us, not even 100,000, almost more than 30,000 per person, with the denomination value of this fiat currency, one person will carry more than 3,000 sheets, almost four or five catties."
As for the 3,000 pieces of fiat currency, they will be carried on the backpack captured from the Japanese army, and we will do camouflage after crossing the Yellow River. ”
The order of the headquarters is urgent, and the soldiers in the Luxi base area are in the cold, and the time is pressing, just waiting for this fiat currency to solve the urgent need!
After Han Feng and everyone discussed some possible changes on the road, he set off with the commando team transporting fiat currency.
17 people, each dressed in a white robe, and even the backpack they were carrying was covered by the white robe, pulled into a line, like an elven army on the snow, straight south, because it was still in the mountains, the horses were not easy to use for the time being.
Soon after going south, there was the Yellow River, and several crossings of the Yellow River were guarded by the Japanese army, but this river basin was so long that it was easy for Han Feng's small team to cross the river.
The fiat currency in the rucksack has long been wrapped in waterproof oiled paper.
At the corner of Zhongtiao Mountain, the commandos chose a hidden path to cross the river, looked at the rushing water of the Yellow River and prepared to cross the river.
Lao Hei threw the two finger-thick hemp ropes he was carrying on his back to Li Hai, "Haizi, it's up to you." ”
Lehi looked at the snowy sky and the rushing Yellow River, and couldn't help but shudder, this is the time of the cold winter wax moon, go into the water...... Fortunately, during the special training, he was really kicked down by the third brother of the devil coach.
Han Feng smiled even more: "Don't worry, Haizi, it's warmer in this water than on the shore!" ”
Li Hai gritted his teeth, didn't take off his clothes, temporarily handed the backpack he was carrying to Xu Jingyou on the side, and jumped into the river with a thud.
This river is just a slightly upward relief surface, the river is not very turbulent, Lehi's water is good, but the weather is a little colder, swimming in the water feels a little cold, it took a few minutes, more than ten meters wide river surface was swam by him.
When he got ashore, he immediately felt the extreme cold, and Lehi's mouth trembled, and he hurriedly tied one end of the hemp rope he had led across the river to a thick tree trunk on the bank of the river, clinging to the shore.
The other end of the hemp rope was tied to the trunk of the tree on the other bank by Lao Hei, and after it was tied, Lao Hei pulled the hemp rope hard, which was very strong enough to support the weight of the people floating in the water.
"Let's go!" Han Feng ordered.
Without hesitation, everyone carried this backpack into the water one after another, and crossed to the other side of the river with the help of this rope.
Don't look at what Han Feng said when he comforted Li Hai before, the water was warm, but after he really jumped down, he realized that it was still cold, and his whole body seemed to be soaked in this cold, so he could only grit his teeth with willpower and get through it with all his might.
A team of more than a dozen people, in this icy and snowy place, with the help of a rope, quietly crossed the Yellow River, which was strictly guarded by the Japanese army at various crossings.
