Both Kappa and Su Hui were eyewitnesses to the Battle of Ringanqiang, and their words were naturally convincing. Originally, Huang Ke felt that it was a little strange for the deputy head of the regiment to report his merits than the head of the regiment, but now after they said it, he felt that it was even more strange.

"Go and call Chen Liewen over." After Huang Ke finished speaking with a cold face, Yang Yibing got up and took on the role of an attendant officer, and after he went out for a while, Chen Liewen walked in.

"Commander, are you looking for me?" Chen Liewen didn't know why when he came in, so he stepped forward and asked in a low voice.

Huang Ke handed him the commendation order and said: "Don't issue the commendation order for the time being, you can find all the battle history of this Lin Zhangyan and report it to me after compiling it into a book." ”

Chen Liewen didn't need to look at the list, he already had some confidence in his heart. Chen Liewen is still clear about the following report and reward system, which is mixed with a lot of cats, and I think it may be that the following false report of war exploits. However, in front of Su Hui and Capa, naturally they can't say it too thoroughly.

After receiving the commendation order, he said, "Okay, commander, I'll go and check the details, and I'll send it to you later." ”

Saying that, Chen Liewen and Yang Yibing both went out. Huang Ke stood up and assured Kappa and Su Hui that the matter would be thoroughly investigated, and thanked them for providing some information on the front line.

"This may be a mistake in our work, and after it is verified, if there is any favoritism and malpractice, it must be investigated and dealt with in accordance with the law." After Huang Ke finished speaking, Kappa and Su Hui also exchanged a few words of greeting, and then left.

After they left, when Huang Ke returned to the office, Yang Yibing was already waiting at the door. Seeing Huang Ke come back, he stretched out his hand to help him open the door, and after Huang Ke entered, he sat on his chair, pointed to the opposite position, and motioned for Yang Yibing to sit down as well.

"Sit down, tell me what's going on in Shanghai?" Huang Ke had already gotten an overview in advance, but Yang Yibing still needed to report on it.

Yang Yibing didn't take any information, but directly dictated: "That's the case, we have obtained an important intelligence ...... at the intelligence station in Shanghai."

He recounted the plans of Wang Puppet and the Japanese intelligence agencies to sell fiat currency to our region and undermine the financial order by forcibly purchasing fiat currency.

Finally, he added: "At present, the Japanese may be doing this in parallel by confiscating fiat currency and issuing counterfeit money. In this way, not only can we plunder the wealth of the people in the occupied areas, but also use fiat currency to arbitrage a large number of strategic materials from our side, which directly weakens the economic strength of our anti-Japanese war, and seriously undermines the wartime financial order, making it impossible for fiat currency to accurately control the flow of materials, thus affecting the normal return of fiat currency, and eventually leading to inflation and financial panic in the rear, and also seriously threatening the credit security of fiat currency and the credibility of the government during wartime. ”

Huang Ke's face didn't change much when he listened, after all, this is not the first time that the Japanese have made moves against fiat currency. At the beginning of the war, the Japanese forged a large amount of fiat currency to undermine the financial order of the Nanjing government, but later under repeated suppression, it was naturally overcome.

This time, the Japanese are doing the same trick again, and it is clear that they have already thought of a solution to the previous bottleneck, otherwise they will not take any more risks.

"Tell me what you think." Huang Ke asked Yang Yibing.

Yang Yibing's eyelids drooped, and after thinking for a while, he said: "If the Japanese confiscate the fiat currency of the enemy-occupied area, we can counterattack it through the same measures." However, the reserve notes issued by Wang's puppet government are not very satisfactory now, and if they were not forcibly implemented, I am afraid that no one would have wanted them a long time ago. If counterfeit money were used to counteract, I don't think it would have been too desirable. ”

Huang Ke agreed with him, "You're right. If we take the same measures to fight back, it will not be much to disrupt the other party's financial order, after all, Wang's backers are the Japanese, and their economy collapses, and the Japanese can also save the market by issuing new currency. ”

He lit a cigarette, took a puff and said: "It has no big impact on the Japanese, it is nothing more than hurting a little bit of Wang's hypocritical fur, and it can't move the foundation." In the end, it is still time-consuming and labor-intensive, so I think it is better to start with the Japanese yen. ”

The meaning of starting with the Japanese currency is naturally clear, that is, the Chinese side is also destroying the financial order of Japan by counterfeiting the Japanese currency, but this measure is not feasible when you think about it simply. Yang Yibing did not hesitate, and said bluntly: "Commander, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to fake Japanese currency." The yen was not widely circulated in the occupied areas, and even the intelligence agencies in Japan were now using a large amount of counterfeit fiat currency as a means of funding, and there was no direction for counterfeiting Japanese currency. ”

"I didn't say it had to be put in our own country." Huang Ke seems to be a further explanation.

Yang Yibing understood that Huang Ke was preparing to drop counterfeit Japanese currency on the Japanese mainland. In this way, it is natural that these tasks will be handed over to the Reserve Cadres Department for concrete implementation.

Although there are intelligence branches stationed abroad, at this site in Japan, because the Japanese suppress them in many ways, let alone the large-scale work of issuing counterfeit coins, it is difficult to successfully complete even some difficult intelligence spying.

When the time comes, if the execution of the task is greatly reduced, will it not be a shooting in the foot?

"It's just that our intelligence agencies in Japan are too weak to complete this task for the time being." Yang Yibing is very honest, he knows that it is better to be honest at this time than to be honest when the task cannot be completed.

Huang Ke rubbed his temples, "You can assist in this matter, and don't take the initiative to sell." Go back and let the central bank set up a special office group to be responsible for the supervision and handling of this matter. After counterfeiting a batch of Japanese currency, he sprinkled it on the streets of Tokyo as * along with the bombers that bombed Japan. ”

Hearing Huang Ke say this, Yang Yibing had a plan in his heart.

After a while, Chen Liewen knocked on the door and came in, saying that Lin Zhangyan's matter had been found out, and that it had been reported by the War Department, and that they were now being ordered to strictly investigate the specific process of Lin Zhangyan's participation in every battle.

Huang Ke didn't rush to make a statement, thinking that it might be that Capa and Su Hui didn't see this Lin Zhangyan. There were so many troops on the move at that time, and it was normal not to see this person.

However, Chen Liewen's next words aroused his alarm, Chen Liewen said: "This Lin Zhangyan is a frequent visitor to the newspapers recently, and many newspapers have published that he commanded the Battle of Ren'anqiang and rescued many besieged British troops. It seems that these newspapers are all wearing a crown. ”

"A regular in the newspaper?" Huang Ke couldn't help but wonder, "Which newspaper, go find it and show it to me." Looking at the original sources, if he really did what the newspaper said, no amount of praise could be given to him. ”

After explaining what he wanted to do with Chen Liewen, Huang Ke didn't talk to Yang Yibing for too long. First, Yang Yibing wears many hats, and he is very busy every day, and the matter has been clearly explained, so there is no need to waste time here. Second, Yang Yibing does not know much about the economy, and he has to consult those experts from the Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank to counter counterfeit money, and they brainstorm together to come up with the most suitable solution.

Huang Ke told the attendant's room that other activities in the afternoon would be postponed for two hours, and he would help him find Yu Hongjun and others from the Central Bank and ask them to discuss a solution together in the afternoon.

After the attendant's room was arranged, he was notified. However, there are some problems encountered when notifying, except for a deputy minister of the Ministry of Finance, Yu Hongjun, most of the offices are still in Wuhan; The central bank is better, but there are also many people who are no longer in Nanjing, and if they rush over to inform the past and now, unless it is a special plane, they will not be able to catch up in any way in terms of time.

The attendant's room reported to Chen Liewen, Chen Liewen glanced at the list and said: "Yu Hongjun is here, and the other people in Nanjing will be notified to come, and if they are not there, they will directly send a telegram to their unit." The chairman of the committee wants an economic expert, not necessarily an official position, and isn't there a lot of finance professors at Chuo University? Find a few standouts. ”

After the people below understood, they just scraped together, and in the afternoon, they still gathered a table of economic experts.

Huang Ke came to the meeting on time, and directly stated the plans of the Japanese and the countermeasures decided by himself. thought that Yu Hongjun and others would support him unconditionally, but what he didn't expect was that Yu Hongjun was the first to stand up and put forward a seemingly opposing opinion.

"It is much more difficult to counterfeit the yen than to counterfeit the currency of the puppet government in the occupied areas. First of all, paper, yen paper is a synthetic paper, which is mixed with Japan's specialty bark pulp in the manufacturing process, and it is difficult to find the raw materials on this point. At the same time, the use of anti-copying ink, the ink used for capitalized denominations and portraits is magnetic, and the anti-counterfeiting is relatively high. Yu Hongjun's eloquent words surprised Huang Ke a lot, he thought it was as simple as forgery, but he never thought it would be so difficult.

He then asked, "Is there no way to counter it?" ”

Yu Hongjun lifted the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said: "Although the yen is difficult to make, it is not impossible to make." Since this is to disrupt the other side's economic order, I think it would be better to buy some of these papers from Japan. As long as the paper problem is solved, the rest will be easy to do. ”

Then, according to the actual situation, other experts reached a four-point proposal, which is to issue a new fiat currency and prevent the new version of fiat currency from flowing into the occupied area; Second, in view of the poor ability of ordinary people to distinguish between genuine and fake fiat currency, use propaganda agencies to increase the awareness of citizens and help people distinguish between genuine and fake fiat currency; Finally, it is necessary to strengthen the supervision of law enforcement, strictly prevent and increase the punishment, and all acts of counterfeiting legal tender will be punished as traitors.

These measures can be said to be more appropriate, and Huang Ke also agreed on the spot, and then after the detailed rules are promulgated, they can be designated for implementation.

However, Huang Ke still did not give up the idea of counterfeiting Japanese currency, after all, it is a good way to treat others in the way of others. Huang Ke then told Yang Yibing about the plan and asked him if he could get special paper for Japanese currency.

Yang Yibing scratched his head, "Yes, I thought that this person might be able to access this kind of thing." ”
