Chapter 54: Under the Cherry Blossom Tree (Part II)

Two pieces of news in the newspapers were particularly striking. One was the news about the Carlisle, and Lynhan had made that vote at sea, and the British didn't feel that something was wrong until forty-eight hours later, when they couldn't contact the Carlisle. After repeated attempts to make contact, and after another twenty-four delays, a fleet was sent from Shanghai to search for traces of the Carlisle along the way.

The Carlisle, which was loaded with a full 35 tons of gold, suddenly disappeared for no reason, and after the news spread, it suddenly became a big news sensation around the world, and the United States and Japan also helped send fleets to search for it. Soon they found a large area of oil on the surface of the sea not far from Shanghai, and later salvaged a large amount of floating debris related to the Carlisle. A week after the Carlyle's disappearance, the British finally identified the location of the Carlyle's sinking.

Thirty-five tons of gold, which is a huge amount of money, in order to find out the cause of the wreck, the British cordoned off the area where the wreck was located, and at the same time mobilized relevant diving equipment to explore the wreck. Today is the day when the equipment arrives and is preparing for the dive exploration. Of course, the British would never have been able to find the gold, which was now pressed into the bottom compartment of the Sephiroth as ballast. However, because of this incident, the Shanghai area has become the focus of global attention, making it even more impossible for the Japanese 6th Navy to "go alone" here again and cause trouble.

In fact, after the Tohoku incident, the Japanese military department is now in a state of paranoia and self-shock.

In the Fengtian Bank incident, hundreds of Japanese ronins and agents were ambushed and wiped out there, and nearly 50 tons of gold were removed. When the Japanese captured Mukden and took the bank and occupied the vault, they found less than twenty tons of silver there. In addition, the whole city was later sold, and more than ten tons of silver were recovered, and as for the gold in the Fengtian Bank, none of them were found.

After the incident, the Japanese side conducted a detailed investigation into the incident, and the biggest suspect quickly locked on the mysterious foreign investors. However, they were like morning dew in the sun, and they had long since disappeared without a trace after the Mukden Incident. The agents sent by Lin Han to the Northeast to pretend to invest are also professional fraudsters who were fished out of prison and entered Mukden as American investment businessmen, and the so-called technicians who entered during the period deliberately confused the nationality of the country, including personnel from Germany, France, Britain, and Russia -- anyway, in the eyes of the buns in the Northeast, these foreigners are the same thing, and they can't tell the difference at all.

The only thing the Japanese can be sure of in the end is that there must be a very powerful force operating secretly on that night. As for where is this force sacred? Being able to kill hundreds of people in a matter of minutes must have been the work of some powerful force. The Japanese thought about Britain, the United States, and even Soviet Russia, but they didn't think of the current ruin and settlement in Germany.

The United States, the Soviet Union, and Britain are not the objects that Japan can provoke today, and under the threat of self-scare, the Japanese military department has strengthened its control over the middle and lower strata, and no longer acquiesced in allowing them to "go alone" and cause trouble. After swallowing the Northeast, Japan is now only focusing on digesting the territory of the Northeast. The 28 Incident will never happen again in this situation.

The other news was about the Olympics, which in 1932 would be held in Los Angeles. Historically, China has sent a three-member delegation, but Liu Changchun is the only athlete. Looking at this news, Lin Han's mind was thinking about how to use the opportunity of the Olympics to earn more faith points for himself. Because of the birth of Katyusha, Lin Han used all the faith points he had earned in the past to jump the god in Europe, and if it weren't for the extra supplement he got from the missionary Shun Lì in Southeast Asia, he was almost "sucked dry" by this bad girl next to him.

In addition, what Lin Han is still thinking about is how to open up new sources of wealth. Robbing the bank and robbing the gold, although the money comes quickly, but it can be one or the other, this kind of thing will happen sooner or later, and it can only be temporarily closed. Although it is a good source of money to go to the bottom of the sea to salvage ancient ships and sell treasures, shipwreck antiquities are like luxury jewelry, and there is an upper limit to the world's annual spending power, and you have to think of other tricks.

As for the traverser's favorite money-making killers, antibiotics and the like, the strains with high yield and low toxicity are still being cultivated, and it is still far away to become profitable. -- Whether it is penicillin or streptomycin, the difficulty in producing these antibiotics is not to find a suitable medium, but to cultivate low-toxicity and high-yield strains, and the cultivation of qualified strains can only be piled up little by little by luck, massive investment and time. In those passage-through novels, the author's mouth is full of jokes about the mass production of antibiotics and the big fortune of mass production, all of which are nonsense from people who don't know how to do it. As for the direct artificial synthesis of antibiotics by organic chemical methods, this must be at least a technology after the sixties and seventies.

In the end, Lin Han could think of a way to get money quickly, and at present, the only thing left was to print counterfeit (crab) banknotes.

Although the counterfeit (crab) banknotes come quickly, and the technology of printing counterfeit (crab) banknotes has long been opened, the use of counterfeit (crab) banknotes in large quantities will inevitably be recognized by all countries, so when using fake (crab) banknotes, we still have to be very cautious. So far, there is only one kind of counterfeit (crab) banknote that Lin Han dares to let go, and that is the fiat currency of the cannon party. He had just received a telegram from Germany, saying that all the technical difficulties in printing fake fiat currency had been overcome, and that the newly printed fake fiat currency could be "more real than real money." Lin Han had already planned in his heart, and after the first batch of fiat currency was printed, it would be sent over, and it would all be handed over to the Red Army to deal with, and by the way, he would also help Song Ziwen "quantitative easing". It's 1932, and the Silver Act after Roosevelt came to power was a big robbery against China, a country on the silver standard. Rather than being robbed by the Americans, it is better to rob it yourself.

Historically, in order to increase exports to China and pass on the economic crisis, Roosevelt decoupled the dollar from the gold standard in order to print money for "quantitative easing". On the one hand, the "Silver Purchase Act" was introduced, and from China, the only country in the world that adopted a silver standard monetary policy and hoarded a large amount of silver, it wantonly bought silver on a large scale, leading to a large loss of silver dollars and silver in the Chinese market, forming a strict deflation. In the words of the U.S. State Department, "we drained China's money."

In the Silver Dollar era, China itself basically did not produce silver, and after the rise in the price of silver, coupled with the influx of foreign goods. Domestic prices have plummeted, agricultural products have fallen particularly sharply, all industries in the rural areas have withered, and peasants have complained of bitterness. Ye Shengtao's novel "Collected Three or Five Buckets Overcharged". It is famous for depicting the "harvest disaster" of farmers during the Republic of China, and the background is this silver trend. It was no less dangerous than the collapse of Japan's bubble economy in later generations.

In the face of such a critical situation, like the future Japan and the Asian Tigers, the first reaction of the comprador regime of the Artillery Party was to beg the United States for mercy -- on August 3o, 1934, Kong Xiangxi, Minister of Finance of the Nanking Government, sent a telegram to Roosevelt, imploring the United States to consider China's plight and that "China will express its gratitude." The U.S. government refused.

By the beginning of December 1934, China's finances were on the verge of collapse, and even the U.S. Treasury Secretary couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to "help these poor fellows" and put Roosevelt on buying silver. Roosevelt still refused to adopt it. At this time, the Nanjing government can be said to be extremely miserable and embarrassed. European and American journalists commented: "The Chinese are not capable of dealing with the Japanese army and are facing a financial crisis. The world speculated that they would have to submit to Japan because they could not find any help. ”

In the original time and space, China would have flowed 60,000 taels to 80,000 taels of silver, and the precious metal wealth accumulated for thousands of years would be wiped out in one fell swoop.

In Lin Han's view, instead of China's silver being snatched away by the Americans for nothing, it is better for me to print counterfeit (crab) banknotes and snatch some of this batch of silver for my own use. Sitting under the cherry blossom tree, Lin Han had already thought that not only fake fiat currency, but also fake US dollars, fake British pounds, and holiday dollars, he would use them in large quantities in China without any scruples, cashing out silver and other materials to aid the Communist Party. As for the rampant counterfeit (crab) banknotes and the collapse of the economy, anyway, the dead friends are not dead and poor, and it is also Song Ziwen's business to cry.

"As for Roosevelt, you lame man, with the kind of thing you did in the Silver Act, you still want to live to be the president of the United States for three and a half terms? Think beautifully! When the matter in Japan is over, I will go to the United States and kill you! ”

Thinking that one of the famous Yalta Triumvirate, known as the greatest president in American history, would die at his own hands, Lin Han couldn't help but get excited, and the newspaper in his hand was unconsciously crumpled by him.

"Onisan, people just received faith"

When Lin Han was thinking about how to kill Roosevelt, a jade arm climbed up his neck, and he didn't need to look at him to know that it was her arm.

Lin Han glanced around, and now there were countless pairs of male hot eyes around him focusing on Katyusha. Katyusha, who was drunk and crazy just now, sang and danced, and the buttons of the sailor's uniform were torn off by herself at some point, revealing half (crab) naked breasts.

"Can Uncle Weird also contribute Faith?"

Lin Han muttered in his heart, and slapped Katyusha's ass hard with his palm, causing her to moan like a cat, and reluctantly put her clothes back on. Lin Han, an undisciplined guy, suddenly had an idea at this time: "It seems like a good idea to make Katyusha a star idol, and then collect the beliefs of fans all over the world and earn a little money." ”;
