Chapter 53 Someone Offered a Reward of 1.5 Million Silver Dollars for the Chief of Staff of the First Army of the Imperial Army?
"Sell a generation of southern Hebei coins in large quantities?"
Ze County.
The devil quickly found Old Man Jia.
Jia is a big landowner.
The opening is to exchange 20,000 oceans at a time, that is, 200,000 southern Hebei coins.
"Twenty thousand oceans?"
"Who?!"
Old man Jia was very wary at first.
I want his full quota at once.
Very suspicious,
A generation of southern Hebei coins are directly exchanged for silver dollars in large quantities, and they are generally unsightly guys, such as guys who transport silver dollars to areas controlled by devils and abroad.
It's normal for these people to be afraid to go to the bank to exchange money.
The Eighth Route Army severely cracked down on the smuggling of large quantities of silver dollars abroad or to areas controlled by devils.
"A big businessman in Guangdong Province."
The housekeeper replied:
"He said that he could discount the market price by 85%, and if he had ideas, he could have further interviews."
"Eighty-fifty fold..."
"Let's talk about it further."
Old man Jia was moved.
Because of his exemplary status, on the side of the Eighth Route Army, he used a generation of southern Hebei currency to exchange for silver dollars, which had a five-point discount.
Eighty-five folds,
That's twenty percent profit.
If we talk about it again, maybe it can be 25 percent, or even 30 percent.
Twenty thousand silver dollars, that is six thousand silver dollars profit.
"I'll choose the position of the negotiation."
The profit of thirty made Old Man Jia very excited, so he decided to take over the business.
After all, although the Eighth Route Army was clamoring to attack the areas controlled by the devils and transport silver dollars abroad on a large scale, causing an outflow of funds, it was actually only a verbal statement, and so far, he had not seen a businessman arrested for reselling silver dollars.
But his tone was still distinctly wary.
"Also, tell him that the first batch can't be 20,000 silver dollars."
"Five thousand at most."
Old man Jia decided to test the water with five thousand silver dollars first.
"Yes, sir."
The housekeeper immediately went to arrange it.
In the afternoon, the cooperation was reached.
After fierce bargaining, Old Man Jia bought 50,000 New Hebei coins from merchants from Guangdong Province at a nine-percent discount.
The reason why it is nine folds,
It is because the other party asks for more than 100,000 yuan that it can be discounted.
But Old Man Jia panicked.
For the first time, I was only willing to exchange 50,000 new Hebei yuan, and finally sighed at a nine-percent discount.
But even so, Old Man Jia was still elated.
Because he personally checked them one by one, these 50,000 generations of new Hebei coins are all genuine coins.
···
"To build trust."
"Of the first batch of 50,000 first-generation Hebei coins, only 5,000 are counterfeit coins."
"Everything else is genuine."
Stone Gate.
After the cooperation was reached, his subordinates immediately reported to Suzuki Fanji.
In order to build trust, or to paralyze Old Man Jia, the first generation of Hebei coins of the devil is mostly genuine, and only one-tenth is counterfeit.
This batch of counterfeit coins is so well made that it is very difficult to spot.
Even if Old Man Jia is an old greedy miser, he has not found any counterfeit money hidden in the real coin.
"Yo Si."
Suzuki nodded and shouted hello.
···
"Governor."
Southern Hebei Base Area.
Ze County.
At present, the president of the bank in the southern Hebei base area is the person in charge of economic warfare sent by the General Headquarters.
At this point, an officer updated the President.
"That old man Jia."
Officer says:
"Apply to us to exchange 50,000 11 southern Hebei currency."
"Fifty thousand?"
"Moving so fast?"
The governor was a little surprised.
It's only been a few days, and Old Man Jia has found a seller?
"According to the informant, the person who sold the southern Hebei currency to Old Man Jia was a businessman from Guangdong Province, and this person has a devil background."
"It should be the old man Jia who the devil took the initiative to contact."
The officer analyzed.
With the strengthening of the intelligence force of the headquarters, the intelligence force of the army has also been greatly improved, and the devil businessman who contacted Old Man Jia was investigated for the first time.
"I guess so."
The governor smiled and continued to ask:
"How many counterfeit coins are in there?"
The first batch only had 50,000 southern Hebei coins.
The devil will definitely not use a large number of counterfeit coins, at most, some counterfeit coins are mixed with a large number of genuine coins.
"It's a fake."
The officer's tone was horrified, with a hint of fear:
"If we hadn't concentrated our efforts and studied the devil's counterfeit money, I guess we wouldn't have been able to see it."
"The mix of genuine and counterfeit money, combined with the traces of use, makes it more difficult to distinguish than a simple fake."
Fortunately, the second-generation southern Hebei currency has been promoted, otherwise this batch of fake devil coins may really cause heavy losses to the base area, and even completely destroy the achievements of the southern Hebei base area for so long.
"Give it to him."
"According to the set conditions, all of them will be exchanged for him."
"Counterfeit money is also exchanged."
"By the way, say something nice to him and put him at ease."
The Governor waved his hand.
Since you have decided to put a long line to catch a big fish, you naturally have to give some sweetness.
"What about food prices?"
The president quickly changed the subject.
Compared with food, the problem of counterfeit money is not a concern at all.
Even if you eat all the counterfeit money of the devils, it won't cost much money, not much loss, and it's just a chief of staff of the First Army.
The food issue is the most important thing.
"It's still going up."
The officer smiled bitterly:
"These dogs are even more ruthless than we thought."
"Nowadays, the ordinary grains and millet on the market have reached a pound of southern Hebei currency, and the price of our imported grain is even as high as two yuan a pound outside."
"And the devils have also begun to wreak havoc, maliciously raising the price of food."
"It's more than doubled!"
The Governor sighed.
Compared to the previous month, food prices have doubled.
Although during this period, during the war, it is not uncommon for the price of grain to double, and the common people are even used to it, but it is very rare for the price to double in a month.
Although the increase in food prices is temporary.
When the grain is transported from the Taihang base area, the price of grain can be stabilized, but in the near future, the people will definitely suffer some hardships.
"Ask the headquarters, when will the grain transportation be solved?"
The Governor frowned.
In the economic war, it is nothing to suffer a little loss, and it is a big deal to get the field back in the future, which is difficult to affect ordinary people.
But when it comes to food, the governor is unwilling to compromise.
This will make the common people suffer.
Now that the troops have enough food, there is no need to compromise on food.
We must always remember that we are the people's team, and we must think of the people in everything and do our best to protect the interests of the people.
Zhao Gang, the political commissar of the Independent Regiment and the person in charge of the material supply of the Taiyue Base Area, agreed with the words of the president - always remember that the Eighth Route Army is the army of the common people.
···
Meanwhile.
XVI Regiment.
"Energetic."
"Haha, another 1.5 million silver dollars in hand!"
“·····”
"Not one and a half million silver dollars, but one and a half million silver dollars a month."
Outside the training ground, the regiment commander who had finished a day's work sat on a stone to rest for a while, looking at the soldiers who were training in the distance, he couldn't help but think back to the previous chief of staff of the artillery devil.
At a distance of 3.5 kilometers, six 120 heavy mortars, consuming 300 shells, killed the chief of staff of the First Army of the devils, and received 1.5 million silver dollars per month.
This battle is not only a successful completion of the mission.
It also made the commander of the 16th Regiment deeply appreciate the power of the 120 heavy mortars.
Thinking that in the future, the 16th Regiment could also have 120 heavy guns, he was extremely excited.
I couldn't help but discuss it with the chief of staff of the regimental headquarters.
"Chief of Staff of the First Army?"
"One and a half million silver dollars?"
But what the commander of the 16th Regiment and the chief of staff did not notice was that at the edge of the training ground, only ten meters away from the two of them, an officer who was in charge of repairing the fence at the edge of the training ground moved his ears and looked at him.
muttered even more about what the commander of the 16th Regiment had just said.
Kill the Chief of Staff of the First Army and get 1.5 million silver dollars.
"Yaga!"
Then, silently spit out a baga.
This person is an intelligence agent sent by a devil.
The massive expansion of troops, the chaotic situation, and the large number of victims who are difficult to trace back to the source also pose a problem.
It's very easy for devils to infiltrate spies.
In the army, it can be closely controlled to avoid intelligence leakage and sabotage losses caused by espionage, but it cannot be 100%.
Not to mention, other departments.
At this time, a devil spy infiltrated into the engineering unit of the 16th Regiment and became a grassroots soldier.
"One and a half million silver dollars a month."
The devil spy's eyes widened suddenly.
····
Also at the same time.
Taihang base.
A hidden meadow near the headquarters.
This is one of the sub-stations of the air transport battalion of the Separate Regiment.
At this time, on the lawn, a biplane was parked, and one by one the warriors were carrying generations of silver dollars into the cabin and then securing them.
"No problem."
"You can take off."
Shen Sheng closed the engine compartment cover, walked down the ladder, and after removing the ladder, gave a thumbs up.
"Good work."
On the side, a headquarters staff officer responded with a smile.
Because of the lack of logistics personnel, Shen Sheng and several other pilots had to work part-time as logistics personnel.
Fortunately, their group not only transported funds to the underground party comrades of the Beijing Assessment, but also went to the Beijing Appraisal to transport five mechanical talents back.
"Haha, this plane is of good quality."
Shen Sheng said happily.
In all fairness.
The performance indicators of this aircraft in front of you are not advanced.
Low flight speed and poor maneuverability.
The ability to dive is almost non-existent, and it is completely incapable of fighting.
But as a light transport aircraft, it is an extremely advanced aircraft.
Good range.
A full load can transport 1.5 tons of cargo to a distance of 500 kilometers and then return without refueling, not to mention the time when he participated in the war, even now, few aircraft have such performance.
And it can take off on any non-paved grass.
Easy to master and simple to control.
and
The failure rate is incredibly low.
So far, he has flown nearly 100 hours and mastered the aircraft's performance, but during this time, he has not encountered any mechanical problems.
There were no glitches at all.
The same goes for the other five aircraft.
Nearly 100 hours of flight time without any mechanical failures.
Is the average failure, even the lowest level of mechanical failure, greater than a hundred flight hours?
Shen Sheng is well aware of how incredibly reliable this is.
And also
Kind, based on radiolocation navigation equipment.
The most feared thing about airplanes is getting disoriented, but the easiest thing about airplanes is getting disoriented, and it is difficult to discern position and direction in the sky, especially at night when they need to fly.
With this navigation system based on terrestrial radio signals, it means that they will hardly lose their way.
It's so important!
Shen Sheng then climbed into the cabin, turned on the engine, and when the propeller just began to turn, an officer suddenly ran over and said to Shen Sheng:
"Can you bring some newspapers to the comrades over there?"
As he spoke, he held up a stack of newspapers in his hand.
This stack of newspapers made Shen Sheng stunned.
The beautiful newsprint, and the pictures as clear as the photographs, were lifelike, almost as if they were looking at the photographs directly, clearer than some of the hardcover books he had seen abroad.
How is this printed?
Is the technology so good now?
"No problem."
Putting the newspaper into the cabin, Shen Sheng didn't ask much, he then pushed the accelerator, carrying tens of thousands of silver dollars, and flew the transport plane to Beiping.
···
"What kind of technology is this?"
Headquarters.
Xinhua.
Located in the Printing Center on the ground floor.
Xu Lin, a printing technician, looked at the printing press in front of him and the newspapers that were quickly spit out, and he was shocked when he looked at the exquisite photos on the newspapers.
From the manual, this is a relatively ordinary newspaper rotary printing machine, suitable for large-scale printing of newspapers.
But
Such a printing press.
Although somewhat large.
All the equipment combined, it is much larger than the devil's tank, and it can't fit in a single house.
But how can you do it, and you can print 600,000 newspapers a day?
There is also one in the other printing room, and the two together can print 1.2 million newspapers a day.
1.2 million copies, enough to spread across the country.
What's even more incredible is that the machine-printed photo is almost as clear as the original.
Not to mention Japan, even the top printing technology in Europe and the United States can't do it.
Who is the boss behind Li Yunlong?
"I don't know."
Photographer Lao Xia shook his head.
He also knows a little bit about printing technology.
The printing press in front of him also shocked him greatly.
But Lao Xia knows that no matter what technology is used in this machine, it means that from today onwards,
"Still, I know that from today onwards, the devil is going to be in big trouble."
Lao Xia exhaled loudly.
The newspaper in front of me, the picture is as clear as a photo.
The texture is also poor, and it will be blurry after using it for a long time.
But it doesn't matter, newspapers don't need to be stored for a long time.
Didn't the devil use blurry photos and false news to tell the news of his Xinhua News?
Now that this newspaper is out, he wants to take a look at it, how the devil still quibbles.
···
"General."
Taiyuan.
Inside the headquarters of the First Army, Kazuki Yamamoto walked quickly into Yoshio Shinozuka's office and reported the latest piece of information.
"Nani?"
"Someone offered a reward of 1.5 million silver dollars for the chief of staff of the First Army of the Imperial Army?"
Yoshio Shinozuka's eyes widened suddenly.
"Not one and a half million silver dollars."
"That's 1.5 million silver dollars a month."
Yamamoto emphasized!
