Chapter 531: The Gestapo
"Uh-huh!" Qin Chuan handed Dwig a cigarette and lit it, then took out a Β£10 sterling from the document and put it on the table, slowly pushed it in front of Dwig, and said, "I don't think I need to remind you that you have no other choice!" β
"I know, Captain!" Dwig picked up the pound and flicked it in his hand, saying, "Look at this, its pattern is specially commissioned, and the watermark process is a masterpiece." The cross-shaped linen is densely packed and difficult to forge using the multi-layer overlay process, and more importantly, the number coding on it...... It is calculated deliberately, not randomly or sequentially. In short, the pound is a work of art, almost no one can imitate it! β
What Dewig said Qin Chuan knows is mainly because the currency of the British pound is in circulation in most countries in the world...... The sun never sets on the empire, and the British colonies all use the pound sterling, and the British trade with the British also uses the pound, so it is almost like the status of the dollar in modern times.
Therefore, the pound must have a sophisticated manufacturing process and a set of effective anti-counterfeiting design, otherwise it may affect the international dominance of the pound, and eventually make the pound lose credibility and let Britain step down from the altar of the world's first power ahead of schedule.
"Captain!" Seeing that Qin Chuan was silent, Devich added: "If I can do it, I don't need to wait until now, I will use this to get me out of trouble!" β
"I believe in you!" Qin Chuan replied.
"So......" Dwig said, spreading his hands.
"You may not be able to do it alone!" Qin Chuan said: "But have you ever thought that if we mobilize the talents you need to collaborate, such as the best engraving experts and papermaking technology experts, do you think we can succeed?" β
Hearing this, Dwig's eyes lit up.
Dwig did not expect this, mainly because the less people who know about counterfeiting, the better, so he subconsciously does not cooperate with the seeker but does it independently.
But now the situation is different, now there is the backing of the Frankfurt Security Bureau, which means that De Vig can rest assured that he can find people to cooperate with, and even because of the reason that he specializes in the art industry, these people are better than De Weig.
After thinking about it, Dwig replied: "I need more mathematicians, and more than one!" β
Qin Chuan nodded: "Use them to analyze the coding rules?" β
"Yes!" Dwig nodded.
"You're going to get everything you want!" Qin Chuan said, and then raised his head at the guards on both sides, and they took off the shackles for Dwig.
"They'll get you a room and plenty of food!" Qin Chuan said: "Of course, these are all based on the situation that you are useful!" β
Dwig nodded and stood up, and after a few steps he turned back and said, "Thank you, Captain!" β
"You don't need to thank me!" Qin Chuan replied: "This is what you deserve!" β
"No matter what, thank you!"
Qin Chuan understood what Devich meant, and Devich knew that she was not the only choice, there were many people who could make counterfeit money, and the reason why Qin Chuan chose Devich was ...... It's all because she's the fiancΓ©e of her comrade-in-arms.
From this point of view, Dwig does have a reason to thank Qinchuan.
Walking out of the interrogation room, Colonel Koch nodded at Qin Chuan, he heard the whole process in the other room, and Devig also gained the trust of Colonel Koch...... Colonel Koch trusted De Vig for the simple reason that she did not hide the difficulties of making pounds, and even said that she could not do anything at first, and in this case, the final acceptance showed that there was a certain certainty.
But then Qin Chuan thought about it, Dwig seemed to be deliberately acting like this, and his purpose was to win the trust of the people who were secretly observing...... From this point of view, Dwig's psychological tactic was a complete victory.
Things soon unfolded, and Colonel Koch used his influence to bring in several sculptors and mathematicians from the University of Frankfurt, as well as several paper-making specialists and related equipment and materials from the paper mill.
Of course, these people are strictly controlled, in effect, they are under house arrest in the laboratory like prisoners...... This is necessary, otherwise once the news is leaked, the British side is likely to implement countermeasures in advance, such as issuing new banknotes and other means to burn Qin Chuan and Koch's efforts.
But it wasn't all smooth sailing.
A few days later, Colonel Koch told Qin Chuan with a little nervousness: "Captain, we are being targeted by the 'State Secret Police' (Gestapo)!" β
"Why?" Qin Chuan pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Didn't you report to your superiors?" β
"Of course I have a report to my superiors!" "But it's because I reported it that I got into trouble!" β
Qin Chuan pretended to be puzzled.
In fact, Qin Chuan knew the reason, as I said before, although Himmler and Heydrich were both important officers of the Gestapo...... Himmler was the head of the Gestapo, and Heydrich was second only to Himmler as head of the Reich's General Security Service.
But in fact, the two men were secretly fighting, and as mentioned before, Heydrich was trying to replace Himmler.
As a result, the "Gestapo" secret police became a tool for infighting, as Heydrich had done before.
"It's a bit complicated!" Colonel Koch carefully raised some of the curtains and said, "There are some things you still don't know better, and if I knew that what we did would attract the 'secret police,' I'd rather bury them all in a coffin!" β
"But now is not the time to say that!" Qin Chuan said.
"Yes!" Colonel Koch nodded, then walked out into the hall and walked back and forth a few times.
Qin Chuan knew what Koch was worried about, there was a saying that "there is no word for the crime that you want to add", not to mention that Koch, as the head of the Frankfurt Security Bureau, could not be clean, which could make Koch suffer because of his involvement in the feud between Himmler and Heydrich.
On the other hand, it was this that forced Koch to choose between Himmler and Heydrichli, but whichever side he chose would offend the other, and neither side could be offended by Koch, the director, could not afford to offend.
This can also be said to be a kind of sadness in Germany, when the foreign enemy is surrounding the country and the country is at a crisis juncture, but the internal struggle is still open and secret.
"If it's me!" Qin Chuan said: "I will choose Himmler!" β
Colonel Koch couldn't help but be stunned, then raised his head and asked, "Why?" β
"No why!" Qin Chuan replied: "Because he is the chief of the German police, the highest officer of the Security Bureau!" β
