Chapter 103: The Great Robbery (1) (Part 1)

However, since the Wang puppet government singled out the financial secret war with Lao Jiang in the newspapers, the final way to deal with this matter can only be on the surface. Moreover, the military commanders did not dare to make any more moves. Feng Shui took turns, and Wang's puppet government and No. 76 took the initiative and became unscrupulous.

A few days later, the Yaerpei Road branch of the Central Bank of Shanghai in the French Concession was bombed, killing seven bank employees and customers and seriously injuring more than 20 others. At the same time, the Baike Road branch of the Anglo-American Public Concession was bombed, killing three people, wounding twenty-six, and six others were seriously injured and disabled.

The four major banks in Shanghai are still ordered to open as normal.

Immediately, the Jing'an Temple Road branch of the public concession was bombed, killing six people and seriously injuring about 70 people, of which more than 10 people died one after another because their injuries were too serious to be rescued. All branches of the Central Bank were blown up and had to be suspended. In addition to the leading central bank, the other three banks of the four major banks in Shanghai were also attacked to varying degrees by the No. 76 spy -- the Nanjing Road branch of the Bank of Communications in the public concession was bombed, and the female staff of the Peasant Bank was kidnapped! A ticking time bomb has been found in several banks. If it is not detected early, it will cause heavy casualties!

Hearing this news, the military commanders were furious! In the past, the military commanders were always pressed against No. 76, but now, No. 76 has 128 hostages in hand, which forces the military commanders to restrain their hands and have to swallow their anger. This has had a tremendous impact on the morale of the military commanders.

However, Chen Mo thought about it for a while, and finally came up with an idea to let No. 76 and Wang's puppet government also "eat Coptis chinensis dumbly, and they can't say anything about their suffering" -- Chen Mo suggested that the banknotes printed by Wang's puppet Central Reserve Bank be burned!

The banking system of this era has basically matured with nearly a century of exploration by the West. The country's banknotes are also printed and distributed with prescribed paper quality standards and printing quality standards. Private people want to print **, because there is no corresponding machine and pulp material, it is simply delusional!

And the central reserve bonds issued by Wang's puppet government are, in essence, just a kind of paper money. It was printed and distributed by the Japanese, with the space, machinery and raw materials provided. In addition, due to the shortage of materials during the war, the number of printed Central Reserve bonds was actually limited. Moreover, in order to control Wang's puppet government, even if they had sufficient materials, the Japanese had to supply puppet Manchurian currency, military bills, Huaxing bonds, and Union Bank bills at the same time, and it was impossible for Wang's puppet Central Reserve Bank to dominate alone.

Therefore, although Wang's puppet government screams loudly, it is actually just a paper tiger. It is not easy to print and distribute the Central Reserve Bonds, and the number is actually very limited. The printing house is an important place protected by the Japanese, and there is nothing to be done, but as long as a few truckloads of central reserve coupons are burned, the issuance of central reserve coupons will be affected!

And Wang's puppet government and the puppet China Reserve Bank, in order to ensure the smooth issuance of the China Reserve Bills, even if all the printed China Reserve Bills are burned, they cannot be hyped up!

Moreover, Chen Mo's subordinates have obtained relevant information, and in order to ensure that Wang puppet government is not completely controlled by the Japanese, the transportation and escort of the Central Reserve Bonds are all done by Wang Jingwei's henchmen. The protection is not tight. Moreover, in order to avoid long nights and dreams, the printed China Reserve Bank will be transported to Wang's fake China Reserve Bank within one day, instead of being transported in multiple batches. This is a good opportunity to start, burn the central reserve bonds, and see what Wang Jingwei will do to control the financial system in Shanghai at that time!

When Chen Gongshu heard Chen Mo say this, he also felt that it was feasible, so the military commander went out to collect relevant intelligence. However, after the information was sent, Chen Gongshu and Chen Mo were dumbfounded.

Wang's puppet government is not stupid, not only knows the truth of long nights and dreams, but also knows the truth that eggs cannot be put in one basket. Although 80 percent of the vouchers were shipped from the printing house on the same day, they were not loaded in a single vehicle. Instead, it is divided into dozens of vehicles, and the route is randomly selected by a veteran driver who is familiar with the road and has more than ten years of driving experience. Even the person giving the command cannot know exactly where each vehicle is traveling.

At the same time, there will be four soldiers in each vehicle who do not know each other to escort them. As soon as the destination cannot be reached within the allotted time, the soldier shoots. Therefore, there is no collusion, mutual containment, and absolute security.

And Chen Mo's banknote burning plan must burn a certain amount to be useful. If you just burn a few of these cars, it will only reduce the number of central reserve bonds by one or two percent, and it has nothing to do with the overall situation! After all, the banknotes themselves are worthless, and even if the materials are difficult, the Wang puppet government can still easily reprint a few truckloads of printed matter.

However, it's a shame that such a good idea is not needed. Chen Gongshu then ordered all the members of the military command Shanghai Station to go to the streets and ambush them on all possible routes. Once it is confirmed that it is the cash transport vehicle transporting the vouchers, blow it up immediately! If you hurt the innocent and blow up the wrong car, it's not a big deal. According to the rules of the military command, after the action plan and action objectives are determined and reported, there will be no punishment for accidentally injuring innocent people!

Moreover, Chen Gongshu also asked these people in the action team to contact some people who were sure of their anti-Japanese tendencies and could be trusted, and blew up the cash truck. Anyway, these people are not dispatched with the action team, and even if they are exposed, they will not be able to catch the military commanders.

All of a sudden, a large net was cast against the dozens of vehicles transporting the central storage coupons. According to Chen Gongshu's idea, if you can burn a few cars, it will be a few. Even if there is not much achievement, disgusting Wang Pseudo and No. 76 will greatly boost the morale of the military commanders! It's much better than just getting beaten and not fighting back!

Among the people Chen Mo contacted, there were Yu Sheng and Chen Tian. At this time, Yu Sheng had already told Chen Tian that he was going to evacuate Shanghai, and the two of them had been diving for several months, and they were completely prepared. And Nanzao Yunzi sent people to stare at the two of them for a long time, but they didn't find any clues, but the military commander did a few shocking cases through the Qing Gang! So he turned his attention to the Green Gang and the military commanders, and the surveillance of the two people was reduced.

Yu Sheng and Chen Tian could detect it, and with Chen Mo's information at this time, they both planned to make another fuss. Anyway, they are already leaving Shanghai Tang, and if they don't pit the Japanese and traitors who forced them to leave their hometowns, they will definitely have trouble sleeping and eating in the future.

On March 26, 1941, the board of directors of the General Office of the Fourth Union convened an emergency meeting in the afternoon by order of Chiang Kai-shek. In addition, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Chongqing Nationalist Government also made representations with the embassies of Britain, France, and the United States in China, as well as with the concession authorities, requesting that the concession authorities grant extradition or bail to the 128 arrested people.
