Chapter 1194: The Financial War

Ji Xiangqing was assassinated, and the news soon spread to the 76th, Li Zhiqun was in full charge of the implementation of the Central Reserve Currency, and when he heard that the deceased was a commissioner of the Shanghai branch of the Central Reserve Bank, he immediately felt that something was wrong.

He immediately took someone to investigate the scene, and when he went downstairs, he called Luo Xingchao out, and the two of them rushed to the scene together.

At the entrance of the alley, where the accident occurred, the local patrol police were maintaining the scene, and as soon as Li Zhiqun arrived, they hurriedly stepped forward to report the situation.

Li Zhiqun ignored it, waved his hand directly, and motioned Luo Xingchao to listen to the report and personally investigate the traces left behind.

After Luo Xingchao finished inquiring about the situation, he turned around and came to Li Zhiqun, and reported: "Director, these patrol officers are quite effective, and it took a lot of effort to find two witnesses, according to them, it was two people who committed the crime, attacked Ji Xiangqing with a short gun, and a car was responsible for answering, that is, in a blink of an eye, he completed the assassination action, ran away in the car, and the action was very fast, he must be a veteran." ”

Speaking of this, Luo Xingchao lowered his voice and continued: "Director, I don't seem to be good, is it that the Chongqing agent is out of the concession?" ”

Li Zhiqun nodded when he heard this, and said in a cold voice: "It should be them, it seems that these people have started to enter the city again." ”

Since the contact point was discovered, Chongqing agents quickly hid in the concession, and all along, the targets of assassination were traitors and officials who entered the concession, and did not operate in the city.

As for the two assassination cases that caused a lot of uproar before, including the murder of Chen Jinbao, Li Zhiqun knew in his heart that he had nothing to do with the Chongqing agents, and this was originally designed and implemented by himself, but it was his own plan to blame the trouble.

As for Fu Sheng'an's death, after the investigation, the Chongqing agent did not show up during the whole process, and it was all done by the servant himself, as for the newspaper speculation that it was caused by the Chongqing agent's strategy, Li Zhiqun did not believe it.

Fu Sheng'an has not been a traitor for a day or two, an old servant who has followed for many years, really wants to be a traitor for the country, he has already started it, how can it be delayed until now, if there is no major conflict of interest and changes, there will be no such thing, and the problem is mostly on the servant himself.

So these two cases have nothing to do with the Chongqing agents, it's just that Li Zhiqun pushed the boat down the river, and they were all on the body of the Chongqing agents, and the other party also acquiesced, anyway, the dead are all traitors, and they have merit, so why not do it.

But this time, Li Zhiqun clearly knew that it must have been done by the Chongqing agents, and he had dealt with the Chongqing agents for many years, so he could see it at a glance.

"These guys don't shrank their heads and turtles, and they're finally willing to come out." Li Zhiqun said viciously.

"This shows that the Chongqing agents will have further actions in the urban area next, and Ji Xiangqing's death is just the beginning." Luo Xingchao also said with a serious face.

Li Zhiqun pointed to Ji Xiangqing's corpse and analyzed: "This is for the China Savings Bank, I believe that during this time, there will be other assassinations one after another, and it will not be rude, just so I have to give them some colors to see, and I can't let those guys in Nanjing see my jokes!" ”

Luo Xingchao's heart suddenly, Li Zhiqun's personality, he knows best, he will report it, there will be retaliation next, and he must report it quickly.

Thinking of this, he asked in a low voice, "Do you need me to deal with it?" ”

He was ready to take over the matter and get further information, but Li Zhiqun shook his head: "The next actions are all in the concession, and it is still necessary to use the disciples of the Green Gang who are familiar with the situation, this kind of thing, Wu Shicai is the best at it." ”

Luo Xingchao couldn't help but be a little disappointed, but he still smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Yes, Captain Wu hasn't acted for a long time, so it's okay to move." ”

As soon as this remark came out, Li Zhiqun also felt the same way, now Wu Shicai has been snubbed by himself for a long time, and the suppression is almost over, it's time to reuse it, in the end, it is his henchman in the grass creation period, and it is not a good thing to blindly squeeze out!

The group returned to No. 76, Luo Xingchao returned to his office, and sure enough, after a while, he saw Wu Shicai being summoned by Li Zhiqun, and after talking in the office for a long time, Wu Shicai left in a hurry.

Luo Xingchao saw everything in his eyes and knew it in his heart, and quickly passed the information to the contact point.

After Ning Zhiheng received this news, he knew that this was the signal for the start of the Shanghai station, and then the two sides would have a fierce showdown around the implementation of the Chinese currency storage, and all he could do was to try to warn the Shanghai station and reduce some losses, and the others could not be intervened, and he did not want to get involved.

The message was drafted and sent to the headquarters in Chongqing, and soon the warning was received at the Silian branch office in Shanghai and the Shanghai station.

Chen Hongchi knew very well that this operation was of great importance, and he would not be allowed to retreat in the slightest, so not only did he not stop, but also decided to increase the intensity of the attack.

Just when Li Zhiqun was meticulously planning and preparing to counterattack, the Shanghai branch of the Nanjing Central Reserve Bank was attacked by another bomb, and during normal business hours, a time bomb exploded at the counter in the bank hall, killing and injuring the business manager of the Shanghai branch and several bank employees on the spot, and many customers were also affected.

Li Zhiqun was angry, the action of the Shanghai station was so fast, he didn't have time to retaliate, the other party came to the door again, and immediately decided to launch it in advance.

In the evening of the same day, at the gate of the Central Bank of the Chongqing Government in the Public Concession, several central bank employees who had just left work walked out of the gate, and a car sped up.

Once the fire of war was provoked, it could not be extinguished, and it spread rapidly, and in the following time, the two sides went out separately, blasting, attacking, intimidating, assassinating, and all kinds of means were used to set off a bloody battle on the Shanghai beach.

Chen Hongchi personally led the team to infiltrate the city, and a few days later, in front of his home, he shot and killed the deputy director of the investigation department of the Central Reserve Bank of Nanjing.

Li Zhiqun immediately sent a large number of spies to storm the dormitory of the staff of the Kuomintang Bank, gathered 12 bank employees on the second floor, and then opened fire and killed all of them.

Yang Wenbo, the captain of the Shanghai station, led people to infiltrate the Dahua Hospital, killed Zhang Yonggang, head of the business section of the Central Savings Bank, as well as several employees and guards of the Central Savings Bank who were injured in the bombing.

Wu Shicai led a team to kidnap three employees of the Chongqing government's Bank of Communications and carried out bomb attacks on two offices of the central bank in the Public Concession and the French Concession, killing a total of 15 people.

……………

In just over two months, you have come and gone, countless violent actions, each side has paid heavy casualties, both sides have killed each other, and even the consulates of various countries in the concession are so frightened that they retreat, ordering their subordinates to be restrained, and allowing both sides to attack and kill.

Until late one night at the end of March, Li Zhiqun launched an all-out campaign, and a large number of No. 76 operatives rushed into the staff dormitory of the Bank of China, kidnapped nearly 200 employees of the Bank of China, and brought them back to the prison of the secret service headquarters. As soon as the agents at the Shanghai station took another action and killed an employee of the Nanjing Central Savings Bank, he shot and killed three employees of the Bank of China. ”

This ruthless move suddenly made Chen Hongchi soft!

In the past three months, not only the staff of the four major banks have suffered heavy casualties, but also the Shanghai station has paid a great price, and almost half of the operation personnel have been lost, and even the operation captain Yang Wenbo was also killed in an attack.

Chen Hongchi was also exhausted and unable to fight again, and in the face of such a grim situation, he had to ask the Chongqing headquarters for help again.

At the same time, the four major state-owned banks could not support such a tragic attack, and jointly petitioned the Chongqing Military Government Headquarters to stop this bloody fight.

The British, American, and French governments respectively put pressure on the Chongqing government and strongly called for an early end to this bloody situation.

In such a situation, the high command had to reconsider, if the situation continued to develop, its own side could not afford heavy losses, and finally had no choice but to end the war.

He was then instructed to make private contacts with the Nanjing government, shake hands and make peace, guarantee the financial status of the four major banks in Shanghai, and rescue 200 employees of the Bank of China as soon as possible.

This can make it difficult for the bureau, this thing is easier said than done! Now that the military unification side is unbearable to fight again and is at an absolute disadvantage, how can the Nanjing government and No. 76 be so easy to speak?

In particular, Li Zhiqun has performed prominently and is in the limelight in this financial war, and it is precisely when he is raising his eyebrows and exalting himself that he still wants to take advantage of the victory to pursue and completely squeeze the four major state-owned banks out of Shanghai and make a big appearance in front of the Nanjing government, so as to earn enough capital and consolidate his position.

Therefore, it is not feasible to unilaterally propose an armistice, and now the initiative is in the hands of Li Zhiqun, and only by negotiating with him can we avoid greater losses.

The bureau has been thinking about it for a long time, and it is really impossible to think about it, before he had a secret conversation with the Japanese in Hong Kong, but he was not secret, and almost suffered a big loss, if it wasn't for Ning Zhiheng to turn the tide and get the drawings of the engine, I don't know how to end it now!

After that, he unilaterally suspended the negotiations, and the channels of communication with the Japanese were cut off, and he now had to seek help from a third party.

In the end, he still decided to let Ning Zhiheng take the risk and directly intervene to prevent the situation from continuing to deteriorate, after all, with Fujiwara Tomohito's identity, it was enough to suppress Li Zhiqun and not dare to make another incident.
