Ning Zhiheng nodded, for all the anti-counterfeiting secrets and methods of Zhongchu Coin, Gu Feng has found out all of them, and they have all been explained clearly, so that there is no difficulty in anti-counterfeiting at all.

Master Yang continued, "However, the only difference is that our machinery is more advanced than theirs, and it is a cut above the definition level. ”

"What?" Ning Zhiheng frowned, his face suddenly sank, and he looked at Huo Yueze beside him, "Why didn't you say it earlier?" ”

The money printing machine purchased by the Intelligence Bureau from abroad at a large price is currently the most advanced model in the world, and there is absolutely no problem with the quality of the printing, but on the contrary, it has become a defect.

Huo Yueze hurriedly explained: "We have already adjusted. ”

Master Yang saw that Ning Zhiheng's face was not good, and his heart was also sudden, and he quickly explained: "It's all because I didn't make it clear, this problem has been solved, we have adjusted the machine and parameters, I can guarantee that the finished product printed now has no deviation from the banknotes printed by Zhengjin Bank, if I don't know in advance, even it is difficult for me to identify." ”

Huo Yueze also continued on the side: "We have all checked, it can be said that what we do is more real than the real thing, and it should even be said that what we do is real money, the whole process is exactly the same, even the code is printed in accordance with the number sequence provided, I can guarantee that the Japanese will not find the problem with such a degree of forgery." ”

Huo Yueze has absolute confidence in this, mainly because the preparation for the counterfeiting of the Zhongchu currency is very complete, and the details that can be taken into account have been taken into account.

Ning Zhiheng saw that everyone was full of confidence, and he was quite satisfied, and accompanied by everyone, he inspected the entire banknote printing factory, which ended the inspection and left the underground banknote printing factory.

In the car, Ning Zhiheng said to Huo Yueze: "Three days later, the Nanjing Central Reserve Bank will be officially announced, and the China Reserve currency will be officially issued. This will be our biggest source of finance in the future, and you have to take care of this work yourself! ”

The previous financial income of the Intelligence Bureau, of course, was to operate a smuggling business, and although the profits in the middle were very huge, the expenses were also large, which were used to open up various joints, buy high-level officials from China and Japan, and pay salaries of personnel involved in business activities, etc., and a series of corresponding inputs and losses also accounted for a large part, and they also bore corresponding risks.

But the printing of the storage currency is not the same, there is almost no loss and input in the middle, the input is just the cost of some raw materials, in the banknote printing workshop to go, in a blink of an eye it has become a real money and silver banknotes, and then with the help of Fujiwara Club laid in East China and Central China, the huge business network, you can easily distribute it, it can be said that it is definitely a real Wanli!

Moreover, with the expansion of the scale, the proportion of the revenue from the storage of coins in printing will account for the financial income of the Intelligence Section, even several times that of the smuggling business, which makes Ning Zhiheng have to put this work in the first place.

Huo Yueze also knew this, and immediately nodded and said: "Please rest assured, I have mobilized all the intelligence and operational forces to devote myself to this work, and I will definitely ensure that I am safe." ”

On January 6, 1941, the Nanjing Central Reserve Bank was established as scheduled, and the Shanghai branch of the Reserve Bank was officially opened in Shanghai.

Zhou Fushan, as the president of the Central Reserve Bank, came to Shanghai again and began to lobby all parties, and ordered that the commercial banks, department stores, and major trading companies in Shanghai must be forced to accept the Chinese Reserve Currency, and those who dared to disobey should be immediately arrested and severely punished.

This iron-fisted measure has worked well, and the China Reserve currency began to gradually enter the Shanghai market, but as expected, Shanghai's financial circles have a negative attitude towards the issuance of the China Reserve currency and resolutely resist it.

On the second day after the establishment of the Nanjing Central Reserve Bank, all the major newspapers in the Shanghai Concession issued a statement calling on all sectors of industry and commerce to support the fiat currency, and all walks of life refused to accept the Chinese Reserve Bank.

The two major associations of banks and money industry in Shanghai unanimously decided to resolutely refuse to deal with the Shanghai branch of the Central Reserve Bank of Nanjing.

Zhou Fushan tried his best, but in the end there was no substantial progress, so he pointed the finger at the four major banks of the Chongqing government, and asked these four major banks to exchange the China Reserve Bonds and establish account opening exchanges.

Of course, this was his wishful thinking, and the four major banks of the Chongqing government explicitly rejected this request, and Zhou Fushan was greatly dissatisfied, and immediately forced the four major banks to withdraw from the public concession and withdraw from Shanghai's financial circles through the Japanese military.

Under pressure, for the sake of safety, the three major banks of China, Communications, and Peasants moved to the French Concession, and only the Central Bank, as the largest bank of the Kuomintang government, finally decided to stick to the public concession and was unwilling to relocate for the sake of face, and the two sides were at a stalemate for a while.

Zhou Fushan's work to implement the Chinese currency storage in Shanghai was blocked, and after nearly a month of back-and-forth competition, he finally had no choice but to give up, and this task was naturally handed over to Li Zhiqun.

In the office of the headquarters of the Chongqing Military Command Bureau, several high-ranking officials are urgently negotiating on this matter.

The bureau first said: "Everyone knows the situation, the Nanjing government has actually forced our four major banks to withdraw from Shanghai's financial circles, this is simply unbearable, the commission ordered, the military control bureau must go all out to block, regardless of the cost, unscrupulous means, must stop the implementation of the Chinese reserve currency!" ”

Huang Xianzheng also said: "What the bureau said is that Shanghai is the financial center of the country, and it is of great significance for the four major banks to stick to Shanghai, once they withdraw from Shanghai, it will be very unfavorable to our financial system, so we must not retreat slightly, we must face up to the head and teach the Nanjing government a lesson!" ”

The forces of the Military Control Bureau in Shanghai are naturally subordinate to the Intelligence Section and the Shanghai Station under the two bureaus, but everyone knows that although the strength of the Intelligence Bureau is strong, they are all engaged in meticulous work and are mainly responsible for conducting intelligence.

So Bian Ze responded: "The personnel of the Shanghai Station have been replenished recently, the supplies are abundant, and Chen Hongchi has been preparing to take more active actions to deter the enemy and puppet forces, this time is just an opportunity, he is a good move, and he is good at doing these things!" ”

"Then order his general!" The bureau nodded coldly, "When I transferred him to Shanghai, I valued his ability to act, but he has been in Shanghai for more than a year, and he has not been able to take a big action, but was forced to hide in the concession, if it weren't for the help of the intelligence department, I don't know what went wrong, you tell him clearly, this time the operation is extraordinary, if you don't handle things effectively, I will be held accountable!" ”

"Yes, I'll warn him!" Bian Ze hurriedly nodded and took the order.

The bureau looked at Gu Zhengqi again and asked, "Don't you have an inside line in the Silian branch, what's new over there?" ”

The Silian Branch Office is a special organ of the Chongqing government set up in Shanghai to coordinate the management of the four major state-owned banks, and Gu Zhengqi has placed a nail here and has a very detailed grasp of the changes in Shanghai's financial circles.

Hearing the bureau's inquiry, Gu Zhengqi hurriedly replied: "The situation over there is very bad, the other three major banks are fine at present, but the central bank is a little inappropriate, it is said that the agents of the Nanjing government are blatantly blocking the door, the bank's business has been affected, many customers have been scared away, these people have no fear, they may attack the bank staff stationed at any time, making people panic, bureau, we must take action, otherwise if this continues, the central bank will not be able to hold on." ”

"Humph!" The face of the bureau seat was gloomy, and he slapped the table, "The intelligence department also sent a message, Zhou Fushan, who was in charge of the implementation of affairs before, ran away, and now all the work is handed over to Li Zhiqun, this guy is a hardcore traitor, he goes with the Japanese with an iron heart, and he is ruthless and unscrupulous, I estimate that he will do it soon, we can't wait passively, we must take the first step, and strike first." ”

Speaking of this, Huo Ran stood up and solemnly ordered: "Order Chen Hongchi to do it as soon as possible!" ”

The order was soon transmitted to the Shanghai station, and Chen Hongchi did not dare to slack off when he received the telegram, and immediately gathered his main cadres and arranged operational tasks.

Two days later, at around 9 a.m., at the door of an apartment in downtown Shanghai, a middle-aged man in a crisp suit walked out of the house with a briefcase in his hand, and he was Ji Xiangqing, a commissioner of the Shanghai branch of the Nanjing Central Reserve Bank.

There was a car parked at the door, and when the driver saw Ji Xiangqing coming out, he quickly pushed the door and got out of the car, greeted him, and said respectfully: "Mr. Ji!" ”

Ji Xiangqing just nodded, the driver opened the rear door, Ji Xiangqing bent down and got into the car, the driver immediately got into the car, the car started, and drove in the direction of the Reserve Bank.

As soon as the vehicle drove out of the alley, I saw a sedan speeding from another direction, and a sudden brake just blocked the way.

The driver was startled, quickly braked, and the vehicle stopped.

Before Ji Xiangqing had time to ask, two figures appeared on both sides of the vehicle, which were members of the action team who had been ambushed here for a long time and disguised as pedestrians.

They moved quickly, raised their guns to shoot as soon as they got closer, and the Browning in their hands kept firing, the glass of the car was shattered, and Ji Xiangqing and the driver did not react at all, they were shot several times and collapsed to the seat.

The team member responsible for killing Ji Xiangqing, in order to ensure the completion of the operation, simply put the gun into the car, aimed at Ji Xiangqing's head and fired two shots again to confirm that it was correct, and then nodded to his companion, and the two of them quickly ran to the car blocked in front, opened the car door and got in, the vehicle started at the same time, and soon lost its trace.
