Chapter 626: Accepting the Quest (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Although the tone of the bureau seat was flat, it made Huang Xianzheng feel shocked in his heart, how did Xu An die, he naturally knew very well, it was still the task he gave Wei Liangbi, and Wei Liangbi personally went out and got rid of it ruthlessly, but this case was done seamlessly, but today the bureau suddenly mentioned this matter, what is the purpose?
Huang Xianzheng said: "I've also heard about this matter, but didn't the bureau let Director Bian deal with it?" He fell into the water and died, and the old things were brought up again, what does it mean? ”
The bureau then exerted pressure and said: "Faithful, how did Xu Ancai die, you and I both know that Changde is located on the only road from Changsha to Chongqing, and this person is insatiable and overly wealthy, of course, he is innocent of death."
It's just that Wei Liangbi was nearby at that time and the 57th Division was investigating and handling the theft of military salaries, don't you think it's a coincidence? ”
"It's just a coincidence! The bureau is too careful! Huang Xianzheng naturally bit his mouth to death, anyway, there is no conclusive evidence, it can be proved that it was Wei Liangbi's hand, so he naturally refused to admit it.
"Of course it's just a coincidence! Haha, it's faithful that you're so hearty! The bureau laughed, and then his face became solemn, "I can act as if nothing happened, I don't care how big your smuggling channels are, I don't want a penny, as for how Xu Ancai died, I don't care, it's just a wine bag and rice bag gangster, as long as I am faithful to you, let Zhiheng destroy the billion fiat currency, everyone is business as usual, what do you think?" ”
Huang Xianzheng felt bitter in his heart, he still couldn't fight this evil wolf in the end, and he was so pinched to death.
"Bureau, it's not that I refuse to let go, it's just that this mission is too dangerous, if Zhiheng has an accident, the Shanghai Intelligence Department will be difficult to preserve, and our losses will be too great!" Huang Xianzheng finally tried to change the idea of the bureau.
"You don't have to worry, I have never seen anything that can be difficult for him Ning Zhiheng, I am full of confidence in him, and this time it is a last resort, I promise that I will never let Zhiheng take risks again next time!"
Huang Xianzheng saw that the matter was irreparable, and finally said helplessly: "Okay, it's just like this, let the bureau decide!" ”
Ning Zhiheng soon received a telegram from the headquarters, the content was the same as he expected, and the task of destroying the fiat currency was still handed over to him, but fortunately, he had already prepared for this, and he was not surprised.
In fact, Ning Zhiheng had his own ideas about the plan to stop the Japanese from printing fiat currency, and he felt that to complete the task, it was not necessary to destroy fiat currency.
He only needs to postpone the successful printing of fiat currency to bankrupt this Japanese conspiracy.
The reason is simple, that is, the fiat currency circulating in the national control area is depreciating rapidly.
Two years ago, on the eve of the outbreak of the Battle of Songhu in 1937, the total amount of legal tender issued by the Nationalist Government was only more than 1.4 billion yuan, and the legal tender at that time was the strongest period.
However, with the outbreak of the war and Japan's full-scale invasion of China, in order to sabotage the rear economy of China's nationalized areas, the Japanese forcibly purchased legal tender with military bills issued by Japan in the Japanese occupation areas, or smuggled materials to cash out fiat currency, and then sent them to Shanghai to exchange foreign exchange from Britain and the United States from banks opened by the Chinese government.
Finally, in 1940, a year later, the Nationalist Government abolished unrestricted foreign exchange trading, and the value of fiat currency began to plummet.
By the time of the War of Liberation, the amount of fiat currency issued had reached more than 600 billion yuan, equal to nearly 500,000 times before the War of Resistance Against Japan, and prices had risen 40 million times, and the fiat currency system had finally completely collapsed.
At that time, there were paper mills that used low-denomination fiat currency as raw materials for paper production, that is, the so-called banknotes are not as good as paper, and this is indeed true.
It was now February 1939, and the fiat currency had begun to fall sharply, for example, a hundred yuan of fiat currency, in 1937, you could buy two cows, then now you can buy a pig at most, by next year, that is, in 1940, at most the price of a bag of flour, in 1942, you can barely buy a chicken, in 1945, you can buy two eggs, and finally on the eve of liberation in 1949, you can't even buy a piece of paper.
This time, the semi-finished fiat currency seized by the Japanese was all in a face value of 10 yuan, which is still an astronomical amount of money, and it is barely possible to crush the economy of the Kuomintang region, but a year later, after the Chinese government issued a large denomination of fiat currency due to inflation, this billion fiat currency can be regarded as a huge amount of money at most, and the destructive power is very little.
Therefore, Ning Zhiheng's idea is not to take a big risk to destroy fiat currency, he only needs to postpone the time when the other party successfully prints, preferably until next year, after the Chinese government cancels the foreign exchange trading system, then even if the billion fiat currency is successfully printed, it will not play much role in investing it in the national control area.
There are many ways to postpone the printing of fiat currency, and there is currently one of the easiest methods, that is, to directly destroy the engraving of the face value of the ten-yuan fiat currency engraved by the Japanese government.
To know that the making of a carving plate is not easy, it requires a carving master with extremely advanced engraving skills, carved little by little under the microscope, any mistake will lead to irreparable damage to the entire engraving, the success rate is very low, sometimes the completion of a carving plate takes nearly a year.
So Ning Zhiheng put the idea on this engraving plate from the beginning, and in ten days, He Siming will take the Japanese carving master Kanda Yushan to Shanghai, and bring with him the engraving that is almost complete.
As a rookie in Japan's overseas art scene, he can legitimately contact this master of engraving and look for an opportunity to destroy the engraving of fiat currency he carved, so that when he re-engraves a engraving, the rapid depreciation of fiat currency has already begun.
If the engraving can't be damaged, then simply assassinate Kanda Tamayama and let them choose a new master carver, which can also be postponed for a while.
If these can't be done, then you can only take the risk to destroy this batch of fiat currency, of course, this is only as a last resort, until the last resort, he is unwilling to take this risk, after all, the printing base is really not easy to attack, and the inside is well guarded, even if you take it yourself, it is difficult to succeed.
But the necessary preparations still had to be done, he needed to know whether Duan Tiecheng and Wang Hanmin had any information about the library building in their hands, and he didn't believe that with the experience of these two people, they didn't do a little preparation in advance and started to take action.
They must have what they need, and they must take it, so who will take it?
Of course, he can't come forward, the best way is for Huo Yueze, the chief of the Shanghai Intelligence Section, to come forward, so justifiable and the matter is explained clearly, Duan Tiecheng and Wang Hanmin will be willing to hand over the information, as for how to deal with the two, that is the matter of the headquarters.
It's just that now the Japanese are searching the whole city, and the passage from the concession to downtown Shanghai has also been blocked, and Huo Yueze can't enter downtown Shanghai for a while, so this matter still has to wait for this limelight to pass.
Ning Zhiheng calmly waited quietly, and the Japanese blocked the streets in the downtown area of Shanghai, searched vigorously, and searched for three whole days, turning over the entire city of Shanghai, but still did not find any trace of this group of Chinese agents, but arrested many innocent floating people, and were sent to the military police headquarters for strict interrogation.
Blockading a city with a population of nearly three million for three days is already the limit of what the Japanese can do, and if the blockade continues, the impact will be too great, and finally the military finally ordered the blockade of Shanghai to be lifted, and the city returned to the previous order.
After receiving the order, Huo Yueze crossed the Suzhou Creek as soon as possible, entered the downtown area of Shanghai, and met with Duan Tiecheng and others.
In a room in the flour mill, Huo Yueze, Duan Tiecheng, and Wang Hanmin sat opposite each other.
"Director Duan, Stationmaster Wang, Huo Mou came this time, there are two main things, the first is to inform the headquarters of the disposal of the two of you!" Huo Yueze said softly.
Duan Tiecheng and Wang Haiming heard this, their hearts immediately tightened, in the past few days they were hiding, in addition to worrying about the search of the Japanese, they were worried about the headquarters' handling of the failure of the two's operation.
"I wonder what the headquarters has done with the two of us?" Duan Tiecheng asked in a low voice.
Huo Yueze smiled slightly, and said softly: "Please rest assured, this time the headquarters is quite considerate of the two, and also knows that this mission is difficult, and you are also forced to do it, the headquarters order, after Director Duan received the order, he returned to the Chongqing headquarters to wait for punishment. ”
Huo Yueze's words made both of them look relieved, and the stone in their hearts was finally put down.
In the past few days, they have been worried about this, for fear that they will escape the search of the Japanese, and they will not be able to escape the severe punishment of the bureau, and they will either be unable to save their lives, or they will be imprisoned like Zheng Hongbo and spend the rest of their lives.
"Thank you, Section Chief Huo, this time we made such a big mistake, we didn't expect the bureau to be gracious, but now that we can get this result, Wang is grateful!" Wang Hanmin excitedly grabbed Huo Yueze's hand, shook it again and again, and escaped again, making it difficult for his mood to calm down.
Duan Tiecheng couldn't hide his sorrow, this mission failed, as a special commissioner, he couldn't escape the blame, this time he returned to the headquarters, I don't know how the result will be done to him, but it is obvious that he was spared a life, let's make plans for the future.
"Chief Huo, I want to know, who will take over the task of destroying fiat currency next?" Duan Tiecheng asked.
The mission was not completed, and he was still unwilling.
Huo Yueze looked at him, smiled indifferently, and said: "The headquarters gave me this task, so I have a second thing this time, that is, the two of you want to give me a report on the situation of your previous investigation and hand over the known information to me." ”
Duan Tiecheng and Wang Hanmin glanced at each other, they couldn't hide their surprise, Huo Yueze was still a junior in their eyes, how could the headquarters give him such an important task, there must be something hidden in this, but now that the two of them are guilty, naturally they don't dare to ask more.
Next, Duan Tiecheng explained the simple structure of the library building and some of the situations he had detected to Huo Yueze in detail.
