"General."

Yang Spring.

Headquarters of the 29th Brigade:

"Joint order of the Dispatch Army Command, the North China Front Command, and the First Army Command."

A staff officer walked into the headquarters and reported to the brigade commander, Kotani Matsubara.

"Joint Order?!"

Kotani Matsubara felt that something was wrong.

As the commander of the Major General Brigade of the First Army under the jurisdiction of the North China Front, he was appointed to belong to the Republic of China Dispatch Army, that is, only the headquarters of the Republic of China Dispatch Army or the local base camp had the right to remove him.

Recently, the 29th Brigade has been losing one after another.

More than 5,000 men were attributed, a large number of garrisons were lost, and five chiefs of staff died in his precinct.

Not only the First Army and the North China Front, but even the sending army were very dissatisfied.

So, this order...

Kotani Matsubara took the order, glanced at it, and suddenly turned pale.

As he expected.

By order from the Dispatch Command, he was dismissed from the post of brigade commander of the 29th Brigade and even the post of deputy brigade commander of the 29th Brigade.

But he was relieved to see the order behind.

Although the brigade commander and deputy brigade commander were dismissed, he was still made chief of staff of the First Army, and deputy brigade commander was appointed deputy chief of staff.

Come to think of it, the superiors also know that these two mistakes are not a problem.

If Tubalu hadn't obtained those weapons and ammunition, Liao County and Yu County would definitely not have lost them.

"The chief of staff is the chief of staff."

Matsubara Otani sighed.

He is a major general, serving as the chief of staff of the First Army, which is obviously unreasonable, and it should be Dazuo in common sense, and the deputy brigade commander of the 29th Brigade is also Dazuo, and it is not reasonable to serve as the first army, and it should be Zhongzuo in common sense.

But it's good not to be swept away from the reserves, you can't ask for too much.

Moreover, the position of the chief of staff of the First Army is really good, and his rights are not low, as long as he makes achievements, he can restore the post of brigade commander.

"Let me leave for Pear County to investigate the details of the seizure of the Westfield United flag."

"And, during the battle, the new mortars that appeared on the Dirt Eight Road?"

Seeing the back, Kotani Matsubara's brows furrowed again.

Both 82 mortars with a range of more than five kilometers and 60 mortars with a range of more than two kilometers.

and

It is not a good thing to go to the jurisdiction of the 33rd Brigade to investigate.

The former shows that Tubalu's strength is getting stronger and stronger, and the locust army will face greater trouble in the future, and it is even less likely that he will make achievements and resume his original position.

In the case of the latter, the commander of the 33rd Brigade is his old opponent.

···

Same.

Midday.

Ze County.

Zexian is a county seat located in the border area in southern Hebei.

Due to the mountainous surroundings of Zexian County, there are only four roads, and they are relatively narrow, the products are scarce, and the grain output is relatively low, so Zexian is also a county seat completely controlled by the southern Hebei base area.

In the center of Zexian County,

There is a branch of a bank in the southern Hebei base area, and a propagandist is reading out the latest policy.

"Today, you want to issue a new southern Hebei currency?"

When the first policy news came out, the people were obviously very dissatisfied.

No one wants their money to be devalued.

However, since the devil came in, not to mention all kinds of miscellaneous coins, the southern Hebei currency issued by the base, the devil's coin, even if it is legal tender, is depreciating every year, except for the silver dollar, the other money is becoming less and less valuable.

The common people can see that it is completely just printing money when there is not enough money, and they don't care about anything else.

But it's impossible to live without money.

You can only spend the money you have as soon as possible.

And the issuance of new money means that the money will become worthless at an accelerated rate, and naturally no one will be happy.

"The new Hebei currency is more sophisticated? Is it easier to distinguish the authenticity? ”

The second piece of news is good news.

A few months ago, a large number of counterfeit money incidents, so far the common people have lingering palpitations, in just a few months, prices have almost tripled, which means that the money in their hands has also fallen three times.

Nowadays, the new Hebei currency is more sophisticated, which is a good thing.

"One-to-one exchange for old and new Hebei currency?"

The follow-up news made the people move one after another.

What if the devil throws a large amount of counterfeit money into the base area? This is something that people are worried about, and now that the new currency seems to be able to avoid counterfeit money, it is a good thing.

"Also 50% off miscellaneous coins, counterfeit coins?"

Listening to the news that the propagandist continued, the expressions of the common people were a little complicated.

Counterfeit money and miscellaneous money are forbidden to circulate in the base area, but because of the destruction of the devils a few months ago, as well as the flow of a large number of merchants in the areas occupied by the devils, and the need to walk the streets and alleys, most of the people have some miscellaneous coins and counterfeit coins in their hands.

The base area is not used.

It can be used to go to enemy-occupied areas, but it is too far to come and go, and it is not cost-effective.

It's just that the five-fold discount is a bit of a loss.

It's reluctant.

Just when the people were struggling, the propagandist's last sentence suddenly detonated the crowd outside the bank.

"What?"

"Can the New Hebei Southern Dollar be exchanged for ninety-five silver dollars?"

"Ten to one?"

Someone asked in disbelief.

"Yes."

The propagandist exclaimed:

"The new southern Hebei currency can be exchanged for ninety percent of five silver dollars, and ten southern Hebei coins can be exchanged for a large ocean, with a daily limit of two thousand oceans."

While the propagandists loudly repeated the latest economic policies, the counter staff of the Zexian branch of the bank in the southern Hebei base area also opened the silver dollars in the safe for the people to display.

Although the soldiers with guns and bullets on the side made the people fearful, the pieces of silver dollars with silver luster still attracted everyone's attention.

All the people were breathing heavily.

The New Hebei South currency can be exchanged for silver dollars, ten to one.

The old southern Hebei currency can be exchanged for the new southern Hebei currency on a one-to-one basis.

Counterfeit currency and miscellaneous currency, fiat currency, can also be exchanged for the new Hebei currency, although it is a five-fold exchange, but if the new Hebei currency can be exchanged for silver dollars, it is not a loss at all.

There's even earning!

The silver dollar will not depreciate!

"I'm going to exchange silver dollars."

In an instant, some people took out the currency they were carrying, while others rushed to their homes at high speed.

Outside the Zexian branch, there was chaos, and it was finally the armed guards who stabilized the order.

And contrary to the expectations of the person in charge of the Zexian branch,

Only 30 minutes later, the exchange of 2,000 oceans was completed, and an hour later, the 200,000 New Hebei Southern Coins prepared were also swept away.

In the face of the dissatisfied people, the person in charge of the branch had to take out tomorrow's 2,000 silver dollars and 500,000 southern Hebei coins for everyone to see, so as to maintain order.

···

"It's not good!"

Late that night.

The head office of the bank in the southern Hebei base area.

When the headquarters came, the person in charge of economic warfare in the southern Hebei base area received the statistical data of each branch.

His brow furrowed deeply.

On the first day, the fifteen branches were 2,000 oceans each, and the fastest was exchanged in ten minutes, and the slowest was only half an hour. Even the 200,000 New Guinean Coins didn't last an hour.

It's late at night, and according to the report, there are still a large number of people waiting in line outside the branch, just waiting to exchange silver dollars tomorrow.

On the black market, the price of the new Hebei southern currency to the silver dollar is already 20 to 1.

It was completely different from what he expected.

The investment of 2,000 oceans per line per day, a total of 30,000 oceans per day, is completely unable to make the people establish a little confidence in the new Hebei currency.

Judging from this level of madness, continuing to invest 30,000 oceans into the market every day, for two months, it is simply impossible to establish a new southern Hebei in the hearts of the people

Be confident enough.

"It seems that the common people are suffering from currency confusion and depreciation!"

The person in charge smiled bitterly.

Such enthusiasm can even be said to be crazy to exchange various currencies for silver dollars, which shows that the common people have been extremely disgusted with all kinds of currencies that depreciate at every turn, and if they are not without choice, they will definitely not use them.

"It is necessary to increase the exchange volume of silver dollars every day."

In the meeting room, someone said the main point.

Although the base area of southern Hebei has recently shrunk, it has a large population, a developed economy, a large number of merchants, and a high demand for currency.

"The best."

"It can be put into 60,000 oceans every day."

The man proposed.

"60,000 oceans a day."

The head of the economic war fell into deep thought.

At present, the economic situation of the base area in southern Hebei is a serious illness!

Serious illnesses can either be treated slowly and slowly, or they should simply be treated with strong medicine.

At present, it seems that 30,000 oceans a day, the treatment of the economic situation, and finally the stabilization of the currency value of southern Hebei, will not work at all, then

There is only one other treatment that can be used.

Fierce medicine!

The new Hebei dollar that is put into the market every day is halved, and only 1.5 million is hairstyled, and then the same amount of silver dollars is put into the market, that is, 150,000 silver dollars per day, until the market is completely trusted - ten new Hebei coins are equal to the price of silver dollars.

But in this way, the amount of silver dollars needed is incalculable.

After all, no one can estimate how long it will take for the market to fully trust the new Hebei coin, and how much damage the devil will cause from it.

"I'll report to headquarters."

As a matter of common sense, a compromise should be taken.

However, there is an order from the headquarters, and when there is a problem such as insufficient funds, it is necessary to consult with the headquarters first.

···

Meanwhile.

Yang Spring.

"It's a pleasure to work with."

A Yangquan underground comrade handed over the final payment of a thousand oceans in cash to the squadron leader of the devil's Yangquan Railway Brigade, the male captain Shangzhi.

"Happy working together!"

Looking at the 1,000 oceans of cash in front of him, the man swallowed his throat - plus the previous 1,500 oceans, and the deposit of 300 oceans, with his captain's salary, this is a sum of money that he will need five or six years or even longer to save.

And now,

It's just that he took advantage of his duties and put a batch of materials through.

He also inspected the supplies.

It's just some printing presses, newspapers, inks, not military embargoed materials, and even if they are discovered, there will be no big problems.

Moreover...

"Happy working together!"

The man put away a thousand oceans.

The whole bag of the ocean weighing more than 20 kilograms made the man stumble, and the ocean in the bag jingled, but the smile on his face was indeed getting richer.

With these silver dollars, he is still afraid of being discovered?

Give the captain some, can't you just get through the relationship?

And

"If you need it in the future, you can also come to me."

"The price is negotiable!"

The man said directly.

As long as the ocean is enough, the captain of the railway brigade is his position.

The railway brigade belongs to the local engineering unit, belongs to the brigade engineer wing, and the appointment power is in the hands of the brigade, so he has the opportunity to be the brigade commander.

"No problem."

The smiles of the comrades who came to hand over also became more and more intense.

The transportation channel of Shimen only Yangquan has been opened!

···

Also at night that day.

Stone Gate.

Suzuki Fanji, head of the Hebei Provincial Organ and head of the economic warfare of the North China Front, also received a report from the front.

"Tubalu Bank in the southern Hebei region is issuing new and better anti-counterfeiting coins in southern Hebei."

"And also to recycle miscellaneous currency, co-currency, and fiat currency on the market?"

"Even, open for silver dollar exchange?"

"Ten Hebei southern coins for one silver dollar?"

Looking at the information in his hand, Suzuki's eyes widened suddenly.

In the southern Hebei region, the issuance of a new currency was expected by him.

In the past few months, Tubalu suffered a big loss from the counterfeit currency created by the locust army, although they have strengthened the identification of counterfeit money, but this is not a long-term solution, the best is to issue new currency and strengthen anti-counterfeiting.

Not surprising.

However, it is inconceivable to recover the miscellaneous coins on the market, the joint coins issued by the Locust Army, and the fiat currency.

If so, he could barely understand.

Cut the flesh to heal the wounds!

A five-fold fiat currency is also profitable.

But what Suzuki couldn't understand the most was that Tubachi actually exchanged silver dollars at a price of ten to one, with a limit of 30,000 silver dollars per day.

It also promised to maintain a 10-to-1 exchange price in the future.

He is not afraid that a large number of miscellaneous coins and coins will flow into the base area?

Even if the time limit is one month, the locust army and those speculative businessmen are not dry, and in a month, Tubalu will lose at least 10 million, or even tens of millions of new Hebei dollars.

That translates to a loss of millions of silver dollars.

If he really continues to maintain the price of ten to one silver dollars in the future, then, if he moves casually, Tuba Road in southern Hebei will lose millions of silver dollars every month.

There are so many silver dollars on the dirt road?

What kind of team of ordinary people is nothing more than that.

"Look for death!"

Suzuki sneered, and called a few of his subordinates:

"Order all banks to organize a batch of coins and miscellaneous currencies to go to the Tubalu base area to exchange them for New Hebei Southern Currency."

"Bring all the coins that will be new for the next two months."

He wants to let Tubalu know that not only militarily, but also economically, the locust army also has an absolute advantage.

···

"What's new."

Late at night.

Yangquan, South Lane Mouth, Yao Ji Soy Sauce Shop.

The shopkeeper of Yao Ji received a piece of information.

"The commander of the 29th Brigade stationed in Yangquan, Otani Matsuhara, was removed from his post and will be the chief of staff of the First Army in the future, and the deputy brigade commander was also removed from his post and served as the deputy chief of staff of the First Army."

"I'm going to Lixian in the near future."

"The commander of the new brigade and the deputy brigade commander are not decided for the time being."

Suddenly, Yao Ji's shopkeeper's eyes lit up.

Three million, he's here again!

Due to the recent continuous loss of troops and the ambush of the 16th Regiment against the devil's convoy near Pingxian not long ago, the 29th Brigade sent most of its troops to Pingxian to strengthen vigilance.

Therefore, at this time, the defense of the headquarters of the 29th Brigade was very weak.

There are less than fifty devils.

The rest, all puppet army!

Part of it is still a garrison that ran from Liao County.

Although the strength of about fifty devils is not weak, and the size of the force is a small team, with the strength of the current troops, it is not difficult to organize a strong attack.

For three million!

The shopkeeper of Yao Ji immediately sent a report to the headquarters.
