116. Prepare to issue banknotes

Choibalshan's head was sent to the Ministry of National Defense in Nanjing, where it was placed on Li Bufan's desk, and the head was simply pickled with lime for embalming. But it was still possible to see that the eyes of the human head were open, and even though the eyes had been burned by lime, one could still imagine how dead Choibalsan was at that time.

"Why are there only human heads?"

Duan Qirui and Xu Shuzheng also rushed over after getting the news, but they only saw people's heads. In their opinion, even if the mastermind of Mongolia's biggest chaotic party can't be captured alive, at least he has to bring the whole person back, right? Can you bring just a head?

Wu Di coughed dryly and said: "After the Battle of Kulun, Choibalshan escaped, although our air force has been locking the direction of their escape, but he almost escaped to Soviet Russia. It was killed at a border post, and at that time, in order to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, a cavalry regiment rushed up to kill it, and the corpse had long been trampled by the horse's hooves, and it was good to be able to save a complete human head. ”

Duan Qirui could only smile bitterly, speechless. But Xu Shuzheng snorted coldly and said: "It's dead, he ran away back then, it's a big life." Xu Shuzheng was the hero of the recovery of Mongolia, there were many Mongolian rebels at that time, and Xu Shuzheng, who was furious, went on a killing spree in Mongolia, and he didn't dare to say that it was a river of blood, but it was also countless heads on the ground.

With the frequent outbreak of Chinese civil wars, Xu Shuzheng had to transfer the troops stationed in Mongolia, plus the Soviet Union raised the export revolution, Mongolia was once again in a state of semi-reading, led by Choibalshan and other rebels who were chased by Xu Shuzheng and fled to Soviet Russia.

Duan Qirui sighed: "Extraordinary, what are you going to do?" ”

Li Bufan said lightly: "There are also garrison personnel in the Martyrs' Shrine, and a toilet has been built on the side, so I will throw it into the toilet to comfort the souls of the Martyrs' Shrine." ”

"Toilets, toilets?" Duan Qirui and Xu Shuzheng were dumbfounded, they couldn't believe their ears.

Wu Di smiled cruelly: "Of course it's the toilet." My Nanjing Martyrs' Shrine is dedicated to the loyal martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the country, suppressing the national fortune, can I still offer these rebellions there? Of course, throw it in the toilet and let it never be reborn. ”

Duan Qirui and Xu Shuzheng both looked at each other, and felt that Li Bufan and Wu Di's cruel methods of dealing with traitors were simply outrageous. As far as traditional Chinese thinking is concerned, the dead are the greatest, and there is no need for people to die.

Li Bufan naturally knew the thoughts of Duan Qirui and the others, so he had to say: "Just think of it as an example of killing chickens and monkeys!" ”

Duan Qirui and Xu Shuzheng are in high positions, so they naturally know that as far as a country is concerned, there is no doubt that these traitors and traitors will cause the most damage to the country. In particular, China's current strong rise depends on a series of high-tech technologies that Li Bufan and Wu Di did not know where, but if a traitor leaks secrets and allows the powers to get these technologies, the consequences will be unimaginable, because with the industrial scale of the powers, the production capacity will be countless times that of China.

Duan Qirui suddenly realized that China does need to make an example of chickens and monkeys at present, and it is really in an extraordinary period. Although the situation seems to be calm at present, Li Bufan and Wu Enemy have clearly informed them that they have received information that the great powers are preparing to deal with China, and there is no doubt that the great powers will buy Han Jian, and in order to curb this situation, it is necessary to make an example of the chickens and monkeys.

Duan Qirui and Xu Shuzheng did not dwell on this issue, and their own attendants took the heads to deal with them, and changed them to the living room to sit down and discuss matters. Although Li Bufan and Wu Di were more confident in the whole situation, Duan Qirui and Xu Shuzheng were extremely afraid of the long-term accumulation of silver power by the great powers.

"Extraordinary. I thought it through. Duan Qirui said with some hesitation and a consultative tone, "I think the time for my country's rise is too short, and it is really not suitable to compete with the great powers. Can we find a way to ease the relationship between the two sides? ”

Li Bufan shook his head and said, "Impossible." At the beginning, Germany also made many concessions to the Entente led by Britain and France, but the result did not change the outcome, but was limited to more passive. Old Duan, think about it, the West industrialized hundreds of years earlier than ours, and their talents have long been systematically educated and cultivated, and their technology and foundation are much stronger than ours in all aspects. Although we are currently coincidentally obtaining advanced technology in several important fields, we are not well established, and our development will soon fall into a bottleneck. The great powers have a solid foundation and a huge talent reserve, and they are bound to not be willing to be overtaken by us, and will concentrate manpower and material resources on research and development, and have the courage to catch up. Our technology isn't much ahead of theirs, and we can't be ahead for long. ”

Wu Di continued: "Yes, the boss is right. In terms of the industrial capacity of the Western world, not to mention being caught up by them, even if several important technologies are approached by them, we will be crushed by their huge numbers. Therefore, the boss and I have been in a hurry to fight a decisive battle with the Western world, just to grab time. For example, airplanes, the current Western world's airplanes have a maximum speed of only 260 kilometers per hour, while our worst planes have a speed of 320 kilometers per hour. Now on the battlefield, one of our planes has a complete overwhelming advantage in air battles, and if we lose one plane in battle, then I estimate that the great powers will lose at least five, or even a dozen. But the speed of aircraft development is very fast, if their aircraft can reach 300 kilometers per hour, can we still achieve such a big advantage? ”

Duan Qirui and Xu Shuzheng wrote suddenly.

Wu Di continued: "Old Duan, you can think about it, the speed at which our military industry makes guns is okay, but what about making artillery? It's slow, it's slow. The standard artillery of our troops is not even 30% of the standard of the Western powers, and most importantly, in fact, many of our troops are not even equipped with this standard of artillery. If we do not have air superiority to bomb and destroy the enemy's artillery fire, then our firepower in ground operations will be greatly suppressed by the enemy, and then the losses in battle can be imagined. ”

Duan Qirui nodded solemnly and said, "That's right, I studied artillery in Germany back then. 'Artillery is known as the god of war', and its power in war can be imagined. ”

Wu Di Zhengse said: "That's right. In other words, how have our sovereign interests been lost? It was snatched by the great powers with the cannons of huge ships, and each of us is very aware of the pressure brought by the cannons. We don't have much artillery, and the artillery shells that our military industry can produce are even less than those of the great powers, and what we can rely on is to use airplanes to destroy the enemy's artillery superiority and suppress the enemy's artillery fire, so that even if our artillery fire is less, then on the battlefield, we can fire at will and play a huge role, so as to ensure victory. ”

"I see." Duan Qirui and Xu Shuzheng finally understood completely, they had not been able to understand why Li Bufan and Wu Di were like crazy demons who wanted to start a war with Yuben, Soviet Russia, and the great powers as soon as possible, even if they thought that it was completely possible to go step by step, the most critical problem was the time limit for technological leadership, and they were afraid of losing this advantage.

Li Bufan and Wu Wei glanced at each other, and they both saw the joy in the eyes of both sides. Although they say so, in fact it is not the case, the high-level clone talent that Wu Di got in the 25th world is fully equipped with all kinds of advanced weapons technology, including the jet era, and the restriction is only the equipment update. Their concern is not about technological leadership, but about the belief that if China wants to achieve greater growth, it must have more resources and a more secure strategic environment, at least for now, when it is the best time to seize Southeast Asia. The biggest problem is the population, at present, China is conducting a census, the population is a few million to 500 million, with the development of China's traditional idea of having more children and more blessings, then more than ten years later, and during the World War II period, the population may reach 700 million, with China's current arable land is not able to feed so many people, what kind of situation will it be? Even if industry develops again, there will still be famine, and I am afraid that it will provoke mutiny and revolution, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

Li Bufan got this estimate from Wu Di's mouth, and deliberately investigated grain output and other related issues, and found that China's current grain output should feed 500 million people, and if there is not much waste, then there is actually no problem, and if there are many disasters, it will be more mysterious, so he has to approve such an expansion plan.

Li Bufan and Wu Di saw that Duan Qirui had basically been fooled, so Li Bufan didn't want to dwell on this issue too much, so he said: "Actually, I invited Duan Lao over this time, and there is one more thing I want to discuss with Duan Lao." ”

Duan Qirui was surprised: "What's the matter?" ”

Wu Di Zhengse said: "Issue banknotes." ”

Duan Qirui was taken aback and said: "Extraordinary, Mr. Wu, the issuance of banknotes is not trivial. This requires very advanced technology, and if paper money is counterfeited by some forces or people with good intentions and circulated on the market, it will be a fatal blow to the country's finance. ”

Li Bufan said with a smile: "Boss Duan can rest assured in this regard, we have advanced technology, and others will never be able to imitate it." The Great Powers have been plundering our wealth with the fluctuation of the price of silver and the lack of weighty silver dollars, and this must not continue. ”

Duan Qirui nodded and said, "What are you going to do?" ”

Li Bufan said: "The issuance of banknotes in the silver standard currency model to collect the silver root, prohibit the circulation of gold and silver in precious metals, and when the basic completion is completed, the silver standard currency will be directly abolished, and the national credit standard currency will be adopted." ”

Duan Qirui was taken aback and said, "Credit-based currency? But if the great powers don't recognize it, how can they trade with it? ”

Li Bufan sneered: "If you don't admit it, then stop trading, or if they don't feel troublesome, then you can settle it with gold and silver." Of course, he dared to say that, in fact, it was based on the fact that the main equipment for the import was expected to be basically in place, that is, it was sure that it was in a trade surplus. Otherwise, there is no need to wait until now to issue banknotes.
