"What do you want to do?"

In less than half a month, two successive First Army Chief of Staff and Deputy Chief of Staff were killed, making Yoshio Shinozuka realize that the Eighth Route Army may be targeting his positions as Chief of Staff and Deputy Chief of Staff.

And not a certain officer.

"Demonstrations?"

"Show your strength?"

"Crazy?"

But it also made Yoshio Shinozuka puzzled.

Even if it is going to attack, it should be the commander with real power, the brigade commander, and the wing commander.

No matter how bad it is, you have to be a captain!

The Great Japanese Locust Army has long established a contemporary military staff system, and the staff officers are only executive officer systems, which can be replenished in a timely manner.

With the officers of the Locust Army to supplement their capabilities, unless the loss is more than one-third, a few staff officers will die, and even for the positions of chief of staff and deputy chief of staff, there is no substantial loss in strength.

The locust army is a lack of grassroots troops, not officers.

At this moment, a staff officer of the Intelligence Section walked in quickly and handed Yamamoto a report.

"What report?"

Yoshio Shinozuka asked.

At this time, the information urgently sent by the staff officer must be important information.

"According to the survey."

Kazuki Yamamoto was silent for a while before replying:

"Niu Wanlin, who attacked the chief of staff and deputy chief of staff in June, whose father was an underground party member of Tubalu, was killed by the imperial army half a year ago."

"Moreover, after the attack, his family of five who were hiding near Ping County also disappeared."

"That is."

The corners of Yoshio Shinozuka's mouth twitched:

"The June attack was not an accident, but was deliberately planned by Tubalu."

"Yes!"

Yamamoto nodded.

"But why?"

But this investigation still does not explain the doubts in Shinozuka's heart.

The Tubalu cost a huge amount of strength three times in a row, the first time may not be counted, but the next two times, both of which cost huge manpower and material resources, attacked the chief of staff and the deputy chief of staff of the First Army.

What is the purpose?

After fighting the Eighth Route Army for so long, Yoshio Shinozuka knows very well that this group of people is very shrewd.

"It's not clear."

Yamamoto was silent again for a moment before continuing:

"However, I propose to strengthen the security forces of the new Chief of Staff and Deputy Chief of Staff."

"I see!"

Yoshio Shinozuka rubbed his forehead.

After the reinforcement of the guards, will the Tubalu continue to attack the chief of staff of the First Army?

···

"Nine million silver dollars a month!"

"Hahaha..."

Headquarters.

The boss looked at the telegram sent by the 16th regiment near Yangquan, the corners of his mouth were raised high, he was reserved for a while, and finally couldn't help it, and let out a rampant laugh.

"Hahaha,"

The Deputy General Staff and the division commander also laughed in the same way.

To this day, several people still feel a little dreamy.

In May, although 200,000 tons of grain were received from Li Yunlong's support, the financial situation of the troops and the base areas was still very poor, and they were short of money and constrained everywhere.

I want to buy a few pieces of film, but I can't afford it.

But it's only been a little over a month.

Suddenly, there were nine million silver dollars a month, which was still the financial strength of cash.

Not only do the base areas have no worries about their finances, but they even have enough surplus to vigorously develop the economy of the base areas, purchase machinery and equipment, import all kinds of materials, and attract talents and technology.

"So, do you agree to the application of the southern Hebei base area to increase investment in the market silver dollar, deal with currency chaos with a large dose of fierce medicine, and realize the anchoring of the value of the southern Hebei currency?"

Deputy General Staff asked.

"Yes."

After a moment of contemplation, the boss nodded in agreement.

According to the application of the southern Hebei base area.

Directly anchor the value of the South Hebei currency with silver dollars, and issue them one to one, that is, 4.5 million silver dollars and 45 million South Hebei dollars will be put into the market every month until the market recognizes the exchange ratio of South Hebei currency and silver dollars to 1:10.

4.5 million silver dollars per month, with the financial strength of the current base area, it can bear it.

The remaining 4.5 million per month is enough to cope with the current other base areas.

After all, there are still 50,000 tons of grain, 50,000 sets of military uniforms, 50,000 pairs of military shoes, 5,000 first-aid kits, and 500 tons of other medicines from the Taiyue base area every month.

These materials are enough to supply the entire Taihang, Taiyue, and southern Hebei base areas, and there is still some surplus.

Basically, the bulk of the fiscal consumption has been wiped out.

It's really not good, kill a few more devils The chief of staff of the First Army, although after suffering three losses, the devils will inevitably strengthen their defenses, but well, the new 120 mortars on the side of the independent regiment have been launched.

"Speaking of which."

At this time, the division commander spoke:

"The silver dollar is also a currency, and if we issue it like this, will it cause a drastic depreciation?"

The division commander was a little worried.

At this rate, it won't be long before two more waves of devil chiefs of staff are killed, and fifteen million silver dollars will be invested in the market every month.

This is almost a month of over-issuance of currency, and does not even recover silver dollars.

In fact, with the level of productivity of the base areas, even if the 50,000 tons of grain and 50,000 square meters of timber per month of the independent regiment are counted, the base areas can only bear 15 million silver dollars in currency circulation every month.

It is equal to the amount of currency that is issued once a month in demand by the market.

It's crazy than preserved fiat money.

"You can rest assured of that."

The Deputy General Staff replied with a smile.

Seeing that the division commander was still a little worried, the deputy general staff took out a silver dollar, tossed it once, and said:

"You see, this dollar is both a currency and a commodity."

"And, as a commodity, the value of this silver dollar is higher than that of currency."

"Huh?"

The division commander didn't understand at once.

Militarily, the division commander has a wealth of knowledge, but economically, the division commander is almost something.

"One hundred silver dollars, you can exchange for one thousand southern Hebei coins, you can buy one thousand catties of high-quality packaged white noodles from Li Yunlong, and you can buy 1,600 or seven hundred catties of bulk white noodles."

"In dollar terms, that's about twenty-five dollars."

The Deputy General Staff went on to explain:

"But you know, in the United States, a hundred silver dollars, which is our kind of silver dollar, which is ninety and five percent of the silver dollars, the actual value fluctuates between thirty-seven and forty dollars."

"This... Hiss! ”

Suddenly, the division commander took a breath of cool air.

In other words, as long as the silver dollar is transported from the base to the United States, excluding handling fees and shipping costs, you can get about 30 to 50 percent of the profit!

Such a huge profit.

Don't talk about the Japanese.

Even foreign merchants would flock to transport a steady stream of silver dollars from the base area.

"Got it!"

The division commander immediately understood what he meant.

As far as the base areas currently controlled by the troops are concerned, not to mention 15 million silver dollars per month, even if it is 9 million silver dollars per month, it is still an over-issuance of currency, which completely exceeds the demand for currency in the base areas.

Theoretically, the base silver dollar will become less and less valuable,

But the devils, domestic merchants, and foreign merchants, will transport these silver dollars abroad in a steady stream in exchange for higher profits.

In this way, even if they have 20 million silver dollars per month, they will not depreciate the value of silver dollars, and even maintain a stable value because of the continuous outflow of silver dollars.

"Haha..."

"Thanks to the Silver Act of America!"

The division commander remembered this US fiscal bill, which led to the regression of the economy of the Republic of China for three or five years, the bankruptcy of a large number of factories, the forced reform of the Republic of China's currency, and the peg of the fiat currency to the dollar.

I didn't expect that one day, the base area would actually be able to profit from this bill.

The base area is responsible for issuing the silver dollar, while the United States is responsible for recovering the silver dollar in the market and stabilizing the value of the base bank.

With the United States having the largest economy in the world and the distance between the base areas and the United States, it will only have to be 5,678 million silver dollars to be put into the market before it can be affected.

At that time, the strength of the base areas will inevitably be multiplied, and agriculture and industry will be able to achieve explosive development.

And in this process, although the devils will also profit, but in terms of strength growth, the base area is far greater than the devil's.

"This is a silver dollar war, and we have unlimited troops."

In the boss's laughter, the words leaked domineeringly.

"Hahaha..."

In the midst of laughter, the topic suddenly changed:

"Let the intelligence forces of Taiyuan, Jinzhong, and Yangquan keep an eye on the movements of the devils, especially the news of the new chief of staff of the first army of the devils."

"I feel that nine million a month is still not enough."

"Yes!"

The Deputy General Staff immediately made arrangements.

···

"Yo Xi!"

Meanwhile.

YANG Quan,

And one more person was very happy.

That's Lieutenant Captain Uechi.

"Good job on the eight roads!"

After receiving his captain of the railway brigade, one of the biggest difficulties preventing him from making a fortune, was killed by the Eighth Route Army, Nan Shangzhi jumped up with joy directly.

"So, isn't the new captain..."

Then, the man's mind moved.

The railway brigade is relatively special, it does not belong to the regular army, it is under the direct jurisdiction of the brigade headquarters, and it is classified as an engineer, and the right to appoint the captain is also under the brigade headquarters.

And last night, the Eighth Route Army not only killed his captain, but even the former commander and deputy brigade commander of the 29th Brigade.

The new brigade commander took office, and the brigade troops suffered heavy losses, so does he have a chance to become the captain of the railway brigade?

As long as he becomes the captain of the brigade, then as long as he transports weapons, ammunition and medicines, embargoed materials such as the Eighth Road, and transports some machinery and equipment, materials and whatever, there will be no problem at all.

Isn't there a lot of money?

···

Also on the night.

Northern Bureau, Xinhua News Agency, Printing Factory.

"Good!"

"Good!"

"Good!"

Looking at the new newspaper rotary printing machine in front of him, Xu Lin, the editor and printing technician, couldn't help but call a series of good.

He checked it, and although it was not the latest newspaper printing press in foreign countries, its technology was also very advanced, and the printing quality and efficiency were much better than that of the one used in the original base area.

The quality of newsprint and ink, too, is better.

Especially photo-plate-making equipment,

"When will it be ready?"

The editor-in-chief of the newspaper asked.

"Tonight."

Xu Lin looked at the English materials that came together, and his tone was serious.

"Okay."

The editor-in-chief immediately said:

"Strive to print a batch of Xinhua newspapers tomorrow, and this time we will put up the two devil wing flags."

"Hehe, I want to see what the little devil does."

"Yes!"

Xu Lin immediately stood up and saluted.

Last time, in order to avoid waste, the special issue of the seized flag of the Xitian United was reprinted and published, because the quality of the photos was poor, and the actual publicity effect was not good.

This time the new machine arrives, let the devil take a good look.

Is it true or not?

···

"Tada-kun."

Same.

It's also nighttime.

Northern Review.

Inside the headquarters of the North China Front.

"Hey!"

Commander Tada Jun was holding the phone and kept bowing his head.

On the other side of the microphone, it was the commander of the Republic of China Dispatch Army, General Shunroku Hatata, and only his boss could make Tada Jun so honest.

"The United Flag has been captured twice in a row, not only the base camp, but also the locusts are already very dissatisfied."

"The base camp meeting has made a decision, if you can't solve the security problem in North China within four months, find the forces to support the Eighth Route Army, and cut off the Eighth Route Army's foreign aid channel."

"So..."

Shunroku Hata's tone aggravated:

"The commander of the North China Front will be served by the former commander of the 11th Army, Gangcun Ningci."

In order to put enough pressure on Tada Jun, Shunroku Hata directly told Tada Jun of the results of the base camp meeting in advance.

"Four months..."

Tada Jun smiled bitterly.

In four months, he was still sure that he would find the forces that would support the Eighth Route Army and cut off the Eighth Route Army's foreign aid channel.

When the 27th Division swept through the Taiyue Mountains, nothing could be hidden.

But to solve the problem of public security in North China,

Is it possible?

Even if the Tuba Road is cut off from foreign aid materials, the remaining Tuba Road is still a big problem, and unless the strength of his North China Front Army is doubled, it will not be able to solve the problem of public security.

The plan for the military station is far away.

"Hey!"

But Tada Jun can only bow his head and say hello loudly.

Hanging up the phone, Tada Jun suddenly had a bitter gourd face, and his brows were furrowed - it would be better to solve the public security problem in four months, it would be better to let him get out of here.

"General."

On the side, Suzuki Fanji, who came to report the situation, suddenly said:

"I have a suggestion that can solve the current dilemma in North China."

"Tell me?"

Tada replied casually.

"The fundamental task of the base camp to North China is not to solve the Tuba Road, but to establish a military station plan, to achieve war support, and even to provide funds and materials for the empire."

Suzuki Fan immediately said:

"So, as long as we provide enough funds and supplies to the Empire, we can persuade the base camp to support you."

"Do you have a way?"

Tada squinted at Suzuki.

That's right,

But if we don't solve the Tuba Road, how can we transform North China into a military station to provide military expenses and materials for the locust army?

"Not long ago, I seized a batch of silver dollars from the train that had been secretly transported."

"These silver dollars are all newly minted, and they contain ninety-five percent silver, and the number is eight thousand."

His subordinates reported 6,000, but Suzuki finally recovered 2,000 and was only deducted 4,000.

"This is a silver dollar that was transported to Beiping by Tuba Road and used to secretly purchase supplies."

"And a few days ago, Tuba Road in the southern Hebei region began to issue new southern Hebei coins, and put the same kind of silver dollars on the market at a scale of 30,000 oceans per day."

"It shows that Tubalu has not only obtained a lot of materials, but also a lot of money."

As he spoke, Suzuki took out a bundle of silver dollars and said:

"Militarily, it will be difficult for us to solve the dirt road in a short period of time."

"Even if the external passage of materials is cut off, I am afraid that Tuba Road will also hoard a large amount of materials, so I suggest that in addition to launching a large-scale military attack on the Taiyue Mountains, we should focus on economic attacks on other base areas."

"As long as you get certain benefits and materials, then maybe the base camp will support you again."

"Yo Si."

Tadajun's eyes lit up suddenly.

The lack of troops limited him from carrying out a sweep of the Tubalu base area.

But for an economic offensive, there is no need for so many troops, as the commander of the imperial military and political power in North China, he has the right to mobilize devil merchants, and he can even be directly managed by the army.

emmm self-driving out of the cold region, tomorrow update will be stable.
