Chapter 1508 War is Everywhere

Tokyo, Japan. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Ishihara was pacing back and forth in his chief of staff's office, Seishiro Itagaki, deputy chief of staff, Kenji Dohihara, and army vice minister Sadaichi Suzuki frowned, and Koichi Ishikawa, commander of the Lanyin Front, and Okamura Ninji, commander of the Jilu Front, who had been recalled to report back to Japan, were also worried.

Ishihara Waner stopped, turned around, and looked at Kenji Dohihara:

"Dohihara-kun, why did Hideki Tojo launch an operation of such a scale, but there was no news from your staff department? This doesn't look like the style you've always had! Could it be that Dohihara-kun also believed that attacking China would be more conducive to the expansion of the empire's power than attacking the Far East? ”

Kenji Dohihara hurriedly stood up and bowed in apology: "I'm very sorry, Your Excellency the Chief Executive, the responsibility for this matter lies with me!" Half a month ago, in his capacity as commander of the Shina Dispatch Army, Senior General Nishio Shouzo ordered the headquarters of the various armies in China to send personnel, especially staff officers and intelligence officers, to Beiping for a military training period of half a month. At that time, I was discussing with Itagaki-kun and Suzuki-kun what kind of ruling policy should be implemented when they occupied the Far East, and I didn't go to Beiping to see it myself, because I didn't want an oversightful thing to happen......"

Ishihara waved his hand and smiled slightly: "Tufeiyuan-kun, sit down!" Everyone here is your own people, so you don't need to be polite at all. ”

Speaking of this, Ishihara returned to his seat and sat down, his eyes swept over a group of henchmen, and sneered:

"Some people are still unwilling to wait for us to jump to a high position, and always want to oppose us in a way...... During this time, the moths of the empire such as Sugiyama Moto, Umezu Mijiro, etc., who were driven away by us, were jumping up and down, looking for trouble for us, and around them, short-sighted people such as Minamijiro, Koiso Kuniaki, Nishio Shouzo, Matsui Ishine, etc., and Tojo Hideki, Muto Aki and others were their pawns. This time, let's just leave it alone, just look at the jokes, and let Hideki Tojo and them meet in front of An Jiajun and break the blood, and sober up. ”

Itagaki Seishiro was extremely confused: "Ishihara-kun, Tojo commanded an army of 500,000 to the south this time, and their opponent Shina army, the total number is only *** 100,000, there is no reason to lose this war, right?" If Tojo really attacked Shanxi, would the 'northward expansion' plan that we had worked so hard to formulate still be implemented? ”

Suzuki Sadachi also said: "The current energy of the Anjia Army is restrained by Mongolia and Nanhua, and in the entire Shanxi region, there are only five divisions of Lu Yixuan's division, and as far as I know, these five divisions are all newly formed divisions, and only some of the backbone of the former Fifth Army have been supplemented, and it is unknown how effective the combat effectiveness is, why is the commander so sure that Tojo will lose?" ”

Seeing everyone's puzzled gazes, Ishihara Wan'er smiled: "I don't know if you have noticed that the Anjia Army that the intelligence system has fed back in the past few days is constantly pulling out border troops to the Mongolian region?" According to the observation of the spies, the scale of this army was extremely large, marching all the way, stretching for hundreds of miles, covering the sky with dust, and everywhere they went, the local warlords in China were all side-eyed, rushing to welcome the labor army, lest one of them be bad or bad for themselves. It is reported that a mechanized corps of the Soviet army stationed in the Hami area has been put on alert, and at the same time, the Central Asian Military District of Soviet Russia and the Turkestan Military District have also carried out large-scale mobilization.

"Up to now, this army is still marching in Shaanxi, but they can turn around and march east at any time, even if they pass through Shaanxi, they can completely take advantage of Gansu, Ningxia, Suiyuan, Chahar and other grassland areas that are intertwined with our forces to break through to the east! According to the strike strategy of the Anjia Army's air-ground integration, Tojo's retreat may be cut off in serious cases, where can he be expected to occupy Shanxi or even Shaanxi? Taking a step back, what if Tojo captures Shanxi and Shaanxi? If nothing else, how should troops be allocated to garrison this vast mountain and millions of square kilometers of land, and how should we ensure that the logistical supply routes are not harassed and cut off by the guerrillas in China?

"Also, is An Jiajun so easy to deal with? On the front line of Pingjin, eastern Hebei, Songhu and eastern Zhejiang, which of all the troops that fought against the Anjia Army did not make a fuss? In a word, the closer they get to the nest of the An Jiajun, the faster they will get supplies, and the more difficult this battle will be, on the contrary, for example, in North China, where our supply is superior to theirs, our army can occupy a certain advantage! Sacrificing one's own strengths and attacking the enemy's strengths, it is unreasonable to be undefeated! ”

Okamura Ninji nodded and added: "Actually, even the Sui, Hebei, Henan, Re, Chacha, Lu and other places that we occupy now are not peaceful, *** guerrillas are like the Monkey King who got into the belly of the princess of the iron fan, and in the mountainous and remote areas where our rule is weak, they have established local political power and guerrilla areas, once they let go and mobilize the people, they will be like maggots on tarsal bones, and it will be difficult to expel them!" In particular, at the end of last year, after the New Fourth Army, which was formed by the Red Army units in the south of the Yangtze River, crossed the Yangtze River and entered the Shandong Peninsula to fight, this trend is increasing indefinitely, and the top priority now is not to conquer cities and conquer cities, but to consolidate our occupied areas.

"Before that, it was the winter in China, and the indigenous people who migrated from the tropical Lanyin Islands were allocated to many sparsely populated areas, and for a while they could not adapt to this climate, and many people froze to death, so we had no choice but to slow down the speed of transportation. When the weather warms up, our migration efforts will resume. Making full use of the natives who don't understand the language to contain the development of the *** army is a plan formulated by the General Staff in January, and Hideki Tojo and their wanton behavior will not play any role except for the consumption of the strength of the empire in vain! ”

Koichi Ishikawa thought so: "Okamura-kun is very reasonable, for the sake of the great cause of the empire, Tojo will never be allowed to waste the resources of the empire without limit, I think that the chief and Lord Rikusuga, it is better to give a few orders to stop, no matter what the effect is, they should do their duty as the base camp!" ”

Ishihara nodded: "The order will naturally be given...... Let's first make the consequences of the adventure unmistakable, and let them weigh it carefully, whether it is worth the risk, otherwise the group of people in the future will not take the military order seriously! I have to issue a solemn warning, otherwise if Nishio Shouzo goes crazy and throws all the North China troops into Shanxi, or even stuffs the army we are ready to launch a war in the Far East into the swamp of the war against China, who will we go to complain? This time, I must give a little color to those who disobey the orders of the base camp, Senior Tojo, this time you found it yourself, and you can't complain about others! ”

After saying that, a cruel smile appeared at the corner of Ishihara's mouth, and when everyone saw it, their hearts were cold, and they all lowered their heads.

......

Nanhua, Xinjing, Office of the Chief of the General Staff.

An Yi looked at the desk in front of him suspiciously, full of fifty and one hundred denominations of dollars and francs, raised his head in confusion, and looked at Du Yi who was wearing a black lieutenant general's police uniform:

"You guy, why are you taking so much money to me all at once? You, a dignified Minister of National Security, are you not afraid that others will say that you have openly bribed me? ”

Du Yi smiled: "Chairman, you touch and see for yourself, and tell me how you feel and experience when you're done." ”

An Yi glanced at Du Yi, saw his mysterious appearance, shook his head, picked up a fifty-denomination dollar casually, slowly groped, felt the uneven touch of the resilient ticket, and looked at the office light, only to see that the whole banknote color coordination, three-dimensionality, soft and bright colors, anti-counterfeiting lines and watermarks are clearly visible. He thought for a moment and picked up a few more dollars of the same denomination, with different numbers and codes.

"It's all real money! Any questions? ”

An Yi frowned, seeing that Du Yi was still putting on an unfathomable look, he thought about it and simply called Ou Chuer, who was preparing for the affairs of the Central Bank of South China in Xinjing.

Ten minutes later, Ou Chuer came to An Yi's office under the protection of the female guard, and after listening to An Yi's explanation, she also picked up the dollars and francs and looked at them carefully.

Since the seizure of Crédit Agricole CIB seized a large number of francs, Ochul did not need to touch them, just by looking at the hue to know that these francs were real, so the main thing was to look at the US dollar.

Now on the table, are three or four versions of the new dollar, the front of the main scene pattern is black, the back of the building is dark green, Ou Chuer carefully looked at it, this batch of dollars are made of extremely professional banknotes, red, basket color fiber silk randomly distributed in the whole banknote, uniform and harmonious, the front and back of the portrait, architecture, border and denomination numbers are engraved gravure printing, touch the concave and convex sense is very obvious.

Then he observed other features that could be identified with his bare hands, Ou Chu'er was almost certain that it was genuine, but there was no squeak, and he saw Du Yi unhurriedly take out a magnifying glass and a piece of white paper, hand it to her, and couldn't help but ask strangely, "How do you know that I need to use these?" ”

Du Yi smiled and said: "Madam, there are so many anti-counterfeiting items in dollars, how can I not know what you need?" Take it for testing. ”

Ou Chuer couldn't help but take the magnifying glass, carefully observed, only to see that the entire dollar has ink diffusion, ink overflow, and the lines are hairy, this is because of the natural phenomenon produced by the gravure under high pressure, and it is also an effective way to test the authenticity of the currency.

Ou Chuer wiped the green emblem and green number on the right side of the front of the dollar on the white paper vigorously, and found that there were clear "green marks" left on the white paper, so she couldn't help but take a long breath, raised her head to look at Du Yi, and asked strangely: "Old Du, I thought that your counterfeiting technology had made a new breakthrough, and asked me to identify it, but how could you give me real dollars for inspection?" ”

Du Yi smiled proudly: "How is it, don't you see it?" This is simply the dollar made by our underground currency factory, which is completely indistinguishable from the real dollar, or rather, it is the real dollar at all. Previously, we had already sent people with $200,000 to several US banks in Shanghai for cross-ocean exchanges, and none of them noticed any flaws. Our next goal is to produce 1 percent of the current dollar currency, and the chances of it being detected are slim to none. ”

An Yi looked serious: "Du Yi, can you really ensure that you don't get recognized?" If it is discovered that our government has organized fraud, according to the US Constitution, this is equivalent to a direct declaration of war! ”

Du Yi said very solemnly: "The dollar is not difficult to imitate, you must know that all kinds of pounds and francs, covered with a variety of complex paper lines, and the whole page is densely packed with watermarks, research and imitation of the cost is extremely high, and the dollar color is single, gravure printing technology we have long mastered, doped red, basket color fiber silk banknote paper is not difficult to imitate, due to the rapid development of computer technology, our codebreaker can easily deduce the number and code of the dollar, and the real dollar number selection program is no different, And the used number will never appear again. In particular, the magnetic matter introduced by the dollar in the third and fourth editions of the United States has been passed on by the Americans, in fact, it is nothing more than the use of fluorescent ink and magnetic ink, and the electromagnetic and optical technology of our research institute are at the world's advanced level. If in this case, it can't be imitated, then there are really ghosts! ”

An Yi was greatly moved, and turned to Ou Chu'er: "Chu'er, you see it's okay, right?" Is there anything I need to pay attention to? ”

Ou Chuer silently calculated in her heart, and then said: "Now the currency issuance of US dollars is about 20 billion, but most of these 20 billion are in the safe deposit boxes of various commercial banks around the world, in the form of books or bonds, and the actual circulation of US dollars is between 400 and 600 million, and we issue 200 million US dollars every year, the probability of finding it is indeed very small, but it is not ruled out that there is this possibility." Therefore, when spending this dollar, it must be cleverly designed to dissociate itself from the relationship with our South China government.

"Now there are two major economic systems in the world, one is the imperial most-favored system entity with the Commonwealth as the main body, this system includes the Netherlands, Denmark in Northern Europe, Western Europe, Argentina in South America, and the entire Commonwealth countries, mainly with the British pound sterling as the settlement currency between countries; There is also a reciprocal trade system dominated by the United States, which includes the United States and all American countries except Argentina, and Japan, which is heavily dependent on American industrial production, and which uses the US dollar as the main settlement currency. Due to the political turmoil in France and the rigidity of officials, the franc that had maintained the gold standard did not announce its devaluation until the year before last, and the franc area has shrunk a lot in recent years, only limited to France and its neighboring countries, as well as French colonies.

"Due to the mutual constraints of the two systems, trade barriers are strict, it is difficult for British goods to enter the United States, so the probability of relying on the sale of goods to obtain dollars as foreign exchange reserves is greatly reduced, it can be said that in the countries of the pound sterling system, the dollar reserves are very small, and the dollar is not in circulation at all, therefore, we do not prevent this characteristic, increase the intensity of printing dollars, I think even if it is 500 million US dollars thrown into the pound area every year, the chance of discovery is very small.

"We can create a large number of leather bag companies by registering and owning equity in France, Britain, the Netherlands and other places, and use these real dollars to purchase goods from the countries of the pound zone, and the destination of the goods is the countries of the dollar zone, and then through a series of commercial operations, they can be converted into export commodities in the dollar zone, shipped to China, and then flow into South China. After a lot of risk aversion, I think the chance of being found is very low! ”

Du Yi nodded again and again, obviously listening to Ou Chuer's explanation, he gained a lot.

Hearing his wife, who was proficient in financial knowledge, also say this, An Yi was finally relieved, and his eyes fell on the franc on the table: "Then what's the matter with this franc?" Don't tell me you've made up ......."

Du Yi's eyebrows fluttered and said: "It turns out that this Crédit Agricole CIB itself undertakes the function of issuing currency and has a well-equipped banknote printing factory. They produce manufacturing francs according to the printing quota set by the French Central Bank, and then issue Annam coins according to the amount of francs.

"As soon as we received a full set of money printing equipment from Crédit Agricole, we organized the workers to work almost without any changes, and soon printed 100,000,000,000 francs as wages for the prisoners of war and the French who worked in the shipyards and factories. The money was meant to be real money, and the French who got it were very happy. In the next six months, with the issuance of the Chinese dollar, both the franc and the Annam currency must be converted into the Chinese dollar at a certain rate before they can be used in South China, so that the francs we print will be transferred back to our banks as foreign exchange reserves. In other words, we didn't actually pay the French extra money, they got nothing more than a string of virtual numbers.

"Also, after listening to Madame's explanation just now, I realized that this money has to be in the right place, and I think that in the future, the use of the franc can completely follow the example of the US dollar and put it in the pound zone and the US dollar zone, so that we will have another stable income."

Seeing Ou Chu'er nodding in agreement, An Yi was very happy: "Now that money is needed in all aspects, it is naturally a great thing to be able to open up financial resources!" By the way, how much does it cost to print these coins? ”

Du Yi said with some regret: "Because of our pursuit of quality and excellence everywhere, the cost of a hundred dollar banknotes is controlled in one ocean, and the cost of fifty dollar denominations will cost two oceans for every three printing." Although the exchange rate between the franc and the dollar is now maintained at five to one, the cost of the franc is higher than that of the dollar due to the European monetary system's emphasis on anti-counterfeiting means such as watermarks. ”

An Yiwan smiled: "Don't worry about that little money, high investment will have high output, no matter what, we will earn!" Your national security department must handle this matter well, and take it as the top priority at present, and now the Far East and North China are in a mess, and our construction in South China also needs funds everywhere, if it can really be a great success, I will give you credit! ”

Du Yi smiled: "Chairman, do you think this is okay, the beans on my shoulders are not as good as Lao Ding, everyone wears police uniforms when they are in the office, and they are all ministers, but they feel low when they walk together, if things are done for us, help me make up a bean, then the national security and *** will be evened!" ”

An Yi did not hesitate: "I can make a decision on this matter now, as long as you can really do it, everyone in your national security department will be promoted to the next level!" ”

"Yes!"

Du Yi happily saluted An Yi and turned to leave.
