In a luxurious suite at the Shanghai Richa Hotel, former Prime Minister Yu Mashiro, a former AKB singer who had just returned from shopping on Nanjing Road, was excitedly rolling in the pile of jewels and coins on the big bed, and let out a burst of "giggle" laughter from time to time.

-- There is a proverb in the West that women, like dragons, are fanatical about all kinds of shiny things......

“…… Ruby, sapphire, opal, emerald, amethyst, diamond...... Wow! What a bumper harvest today! ”

Looking at the dazzling array of jewels on the sheets, shining under the illumination of electric lights, the little bird Yu Zhenbai didn't even know where to put his eyes for a while, he was really smiling and happy, and the squinted eyes and bent eyebrows were simply indescribably cute.

“…… All right! All right! Since you love rolling around in the pile of jewels so much, wait until you get back to play! It's not a safe place! ”

Wang Qiu chattered while dragging the little bird You Zhenbai away from the sheets, and teleported all kinds of jewelry into the wormhole, after accompanying a few women to walk around the street for a long time, he was so tired that his legs were weak, "...... After these things are brought back, they will be redistributed, and of course, the share that belongs to you is indispensable...... By the way, Professor Yang, how did you get today? Will all those pound bills work? He asked, turning his head.

“…… It should be okay! Although I didn't go to the bank to open an account, the shopkeeper and the guy in the pawn shops I went to were willing to accept pounds. ”

Professor Yang Wenli pushed the reading glasses on the bridge of his nose and hesitated. Then he replied, "...... I found some jade jewelry from these pawnshops. There are also several gold and silver ornaments...... Hey, all kinds of bronzes, Tang Sancai, Song Dynasty porcelain, Ming and Qing calligraphy and paintings, there are everything in the shop, but unfortunately there are too many fakes here, and my vision in this area is poor, I really can't recognize it, so I don't dare to buy it......"

“…… In fact, even if you buy a few fakes. It shouldn't be a big deal, anyway, we need as many banknotes as ...... as we want."

Ma Tong replied interjecting while packing up his "spoils". In today's shopping spree. She bought several mink scarves, two fur coats, and a pair of handmade deerskin boots," she ...... Then again. Now we're spending tens of thousands of yen. A few hundred pounds, such a small currency naturally can't make big waves. But what if we spend too much money in the future, causing alarming countries and even switching to new banknotes? ”

“…… First of all, this is very unlikely. Secondly, the banknote printing and anti-counterfeiting jishu of this year, the limit that can be reached is just that. For the banknote printing plant of the 21st century. No matter what kind of banknotes of this era, imitation is not a problem at all. ”

Kotori Yumashiro replied confidently. At the same time crawled down from the pile of jewels, "...... Unless they enter the whole country into a wartime system specifically for this purpose, implement the Jihua economy of the Soviets, where all basic consumer goods must be rationed with certificates, and those who only have money will not be able to buy anything at all - but whoever dares to play this will only be torn to pieces by the angry financial capitalists! ”

“…… Another option is to abolish paper money altogether, using only metal coins and checks, as before the Industrial Revolution, but the consequences may be even more disastrous - after the Industrial Revolution, the material wealth created by human society has skyrocketed tens, even hundreds of times, but the amount of gold and silver has not increased so much. If paper money is abolished and all metal coins are used, the entire capitalist shijie market will be finished! ”

Wang Qiu further added, "...... The results I can speculate on alone are enough to turn the whole shijie upside down: first of all, since the banknotes that have been used for many years are suddenly gone, the remaining gold and silver must represent the social wealth that has swelled many times since the Industrial Revolution, which means that global prices will skyrocket dozens to hundreds of times in an instant, and there will be a 'money shortage' everywhere during the price increase. Then, due to the insufficient quantity of money, the commodity market economy in many places had to completely collapse, so that commerce had to degenerate back to a state of barter, and a considerable number of factories would also close down due to the shrinking volume of trade...... If it really comes to this point, then nine times out of ten it will be the rhythm of red flags planted all over the world! ”

“…… In fact, there is another way to deal with counterfeit banknotes, Chiang Kai-shek's Kuomintang government used it during the Anti-Japanese War, and the effect was quite good, so that the Japanese occupation forces and Wang Jingwei's puppet government that forged legal tender almost lost their pants, but also lost their hearts and ...... hearts."

Professor Yang also interjected, "...... Specifically, it is to frantically start the money printing machine, which depreciates dozens of times every month, making printing money a loss-making business...... It is said that at that time, the bill that could buy a cow one month depreciated to the point that it could only buy a chicken the next month......

“…… In short, for this shijie capitalist power, we, the money printing and sweeping goods of visitors from other worlds, are like being sucked by a mosquito on the arm, although it is uncomfortable, but it is not painful, and compared with the economic crisis and the workers' movement, I am afraid that it is not even the problem of fur. ”

Wang Qiu Zuihou finally said, "...... But if anyone doesn't want us to suck blood, what kind of countermeasures do they have to adopt once and for all...... Then, switching to the jihua economy is like cutting off the hands and feet, abolishing paper money is equivalent to digging out the heart, and if you play a game of increasing production and depreciating with our money printing machine, it is almost equivalent to poisoning your own blood, to poison the blood-sucking mosquitoes...... Anyway, everything is a self-defeating rhythm! ”

“…… Unfortunately, you can't convert all these bills into silver dollars or gold coins! If you can do that, it will be much easier. At least we don't have to worry about the realization of these goods. Watching Zuihou's mutton fat jade Buddha statue disappear into the wormhole, Cai Rong sighed and complained.

-- At this time, the whole country was in the midst of a capitalist economic crisis of unprecedented proportions, and although the gold standard was still being implemented, the outflow of gold and silver was generally restricted. Therefore, if you want to exchange a large amount of paper money for silver or gold coins, it is difficult to do it at least in Shanghai: a few thousand yuan may be fine, but if you want to exchange tens of thousands...... Then someone may come to you to "talk" to you.

“…… Alas. Be content! We can take almost unlimited amounts of things for free this time, and we have already taken a big advantage! Wang Qiu pursed his lips disapprenously, "...... No matter how much trouble it is. Is it still the hard work of cutting down trees in ancient England in Arthurian times for money? ”

――――――――――――――――――――――――

In the following days, Wang Qiu and others' luxurious money transfer journey of the Republic of China continued to be popular.

Every day, from morning to night, they carry a large number of real yen, pounds, francs and US dollars, and frequently haunt the jewelry stores, pawnshops and department stores in Shanghai, selling all kinds of high-end abalone, gold and silver jewelry, gemstone pearls, fur coats, French truffles, natural wild ginseng, and century-old wine...... And all kinds of things that can be sold at a high price in modern shijie, all of which are swept away.

Of course, if you always let the same face go to splurge. Then I am afraid that it will be easy to be discovered and remembered by some "people with a heart...... Then, on a remote street corner, some tragedies and farces that were very popular in old Shanghai Tang occurred......

Fortunately, now Wang Qiu's subordinates of the time-space city management. It is no longer an embarrassment of two or three big cats and small kittens, but a prosperous lineup of more than 2,000 "foreign amateur mercenaries". Although these amateur mercenaries have very poor combat effectiveness and can't fight any hard battles, they don't need to fight at all now. As long as they help with the shopping – specifically. It is to let these foreigners change into clothes that suit the background of the times, and then take a large number of "real money" printed and distributed in the 21st century, and take turns to scan the goods in various commercial streets and wholesale markets in Shanghai, from gold, silver and jewelry to skin and herbal medicines, from silk cloth to machinery and equipment, from soap matches to ink pens, from perfume rouge to handkerchiefs and folding fans...... Almost any product is acquired!

Even if there are some things that no one wants in modern Shijie, you can still get the ancient Egyptian plane of Queen Cleopatra. The stuff of the Republic of China era is enough over there! For example, the rice seeds here can be sown on the banks of the Nile...... For this purpose, they also leased several warehouses.

Thereupon. Large sums of yen, pound, franc and dollar bills poured into Shanghai, reducing unemployment in Shanghai to some extent, boosting the economic boom of the Shanghai market and increasing tax revenues for the authorities...... And it did not attract much attention from the official and business circles at all.

The reason why these "perfect counterfeit banknotes" did not attract attention is also very simple: at this time, the yen, pound sterling, franc, and US dollar were basically the common currencies in circulation in China's coastal cities, and they were far more reliable and trusted by the common people than the notes issued by the various warlords and banks in China -- the banknotes of the Beiyang government often failed to cash the silver dollar -- so that the market for all kinds of foreign currencies in China at that time was astonishingly large. According to a rough survey at the time, there were more than 500 million yen in circulation in China alone, and this was when Japan occupied the three northeastern provinces and the anti-Japanese tide in Kannai was rising. As for the amount of the British pound and the dollar in circulation in the Chinese market, I am afraid it is even higher.

In addition, Shanghai is the largest currency circulation center in East Asia - some may find it hard to believe, but at this time Shanghai is indeed one of the four major cities of Shijie, alongside London, Paris, and New York, and even more prosperous and wealthy than Hong Kong, Tokyo, and Singapore.

In this era, Shanghai Tang, which was divided by the concessions of other countries, was a veritable international metropolis, not only the largest financial center in the Far East, but also the largest financial markets in Asia, such as stocks, gold, and foreign exchange. It is not only the world's second-largest futures trading center after Chicago, but also the world's largest gold spot trading center, the world's second-largest diamond spot trading center, and one of the world's three major non-ferrous metal pricing centers. Almost all of Shijie's famous banks, insurance companies, etc. have settled in Shanghai, and Shanghai is also an important source of revenue for the national government, and has the reputation of "China's wallet...... Therefore, the banknotes brought into Shanghai by the traversers did not stir up much at all, and they were easily drowned in the vast sea of the capitalist Shijie economic system.

At the same time, the historical wheel of this shijie is still rolling forward along the inherent trajectory......

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Shanghai Public Concession, the living room of the small western-style building of the women's liberation movement standard-bearer "Mr. Qiong Yao" Jin Qina's house.

After the first few "shopping". The traversers, who were tired of shopping, handed over the matter of purchasing goods to the employees, and then nested in the small western-style building of Jinchina's house. While watching over the life-threatening time-span wormhole, he passes the time by reading the newspaper or listening to the radio.

In the summer of 1934, the most important news in China was naturally the good news of the Kuomintang army's successive victories in the "suppression of bandits" in Jiangxi.

“…… Chairman Jiang delivered an important speech at the Nanchang camp and ceremoniously commended the meritorious soldiers in the Battle of Guangchang...... He also reaffirmed once again the principle of 'settling the inside before attacking the outside world,' and encouraged the officers and men to exterminate the Red Bandits as soon as possible and recover the bandit areas. Decree on the unification of the State......

…… Recently, some people have talked about anti-Japanese ...... The work of suppressing bandits is really a prerequisite for resisting Japan, and in order to resist Japan, it is necessary to first suppress bandits. If you can suppress bandits, you will definitely be able to resist Japan. Everyone must always remember that the success or failure of our revolution and the absolute rise or fall of our country will be completely determined by the suppression of bandits at present, and if the suppression of bandits fails. Then everything is going to fail. are irretrievable. You can't even suppress the bandits, where can you still resist Japan, isn't this self-deception......"

"......'If you go outside, you must first settle inside'! Jiang Guangtou was dragged to death by this strategy! ”

Listening to the news broadcast on the radio, Wang Qiu couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, "...... In the 20th century, he considered problems based on the experience of the late Ming Dynasty, and sat in the position of national leader, but still held the idea of a local warlord. Stale and narrow-minded, without a global concept. How can you achieve great things? ”

-- After staying in this era for a long time, Wang Qiu gradually understood that Jiang Guangtou Weishenme was under the pressure of boiling national resentment, and he was still determined to "settle the inside before the outside": First, the Northeast and North China invaded by Japan were not his own territory in his eyes, and it didn't matter if he lost them; Secondly, the Jiangxi Red Army was close to his territory in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and it was an undying enemy, even if it was temporarily connived at and appeased, it would never be possible.

From the perspective of a local warlord, this is understandable. As early as the era of the Beiyang government, President Feng Guozhang had already come to the conclusion that in China in this era, the name of the central government was a big fire pit, which looked very glittering, but the taste of really sitting on it was really terrible: foreigners coerced, literati ridiculed, warlords denounced, and students made trouble...... There are not many benefits that can be obtained, but the basin that betrays the country and seeks glory is deducted on your head!

At the beginning of the 21 st century, because Chinese mainland was in the name of a central government, it suffered an unknown amount in the Taiwan Strait dispute -- the Taiwanese could not regard themselves as Chinese, but the Beijing government could not help but take care of the Taiwanese as compatriots. For example, when a fishery dispute broke out between Taiwan and the Philippines, Philippine sailors shot at Taiwanese fishermen, and Taiwan's sissy strawberry soldiers did not even dare to let out a fart. At that time, the CCP did not gloat, let alone fall into the trap, but tried its best to support and put pressure on the Philippines...... Who knew that Zuihou was also heavily attacked by Taiwan's green camp, declaring that he would rather have Philippine bullets than help from the CCP...... It's really infuriating, and it's thankless to bother and work hard!

But there is no way to do this, since you want to be the leader of the country, you have to take care of all the sons and daughters of China as your own!

-- In short, many local warlords can do dirty things, but as a central government, they can never do.

Chiang Kai-shek, on the other hand, wanted both the authority of the central government and the responsibilities of the central government...... However, in modern China, patriotism and nationalism have long become the popular desire of the Chinese nation and the basis for the legitimacy of the rule of any political regime.

In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, if the CCP had not played a majestic and imposing role in the Korean War, how could the subsequent public ownership reform be so smooth?

On the contrary, against the backdrop of the gradual invasion by the Japanese invaders, Chiang Kai-shek's policy of compromise and concession simply repeatedly touched the scales of the Chinese nation, aroused the anger of the broad masses of patriotic people, and gradually lost his reputation and the legitimacy of the Nationalist Government. When the Xi'an Incident broke out, if Chiang Kai-shek continued to adopt a reactionary policy of compromise with foreign countries, the army, which was the pillar of his rule, would have rebelled!

-- In many cases, in the face of a powerful opponent, knowing that you are invincible, you must resolutely show your sword, and even if you fall, you must become a mountain and a ridge!

Those who can do it will become heroes; And those who can't do it will become a stepping stone for heroes.

“…… However, no matter how much Chiang Kai-shek's policy of compromise and concession was lost, Ruijin's Central Soviet District was in danger of being doomed this time. ”

According to the information in newspapers and radios, combined with historical data, Professor Yang marked the current confrontation front between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party on a map of Jiangxi in the Republic of China...... But...... With a million-strong army equipped with aircraft, artillery, tanks, and vehicles, they encircled and suppressed the 100,000 Red Army, which lacked guns and ammunition, and did not even have enough to eat...... Even the Russians are not so ashamed to fight the Chechen war! This is Chairman Jiang's ability, and he can really only command one class! (To be continued......)
