Chapter 1039 Shocking achievement
Chongqing, Military Command Headquarters.

Holding the telegram in his hand, Dai Li seemed to be in disbelief of what he saw. He seemed to be asking Mao Renfeng, and he seemed to be asking himself:

"This is real?"

"It should be true."

Mao Renfeng had an incredulous expression on his face: "Meng Shaoyuan, I would never joke about such a thing, it would kill my head."

"Quick, prepare the car!"

Dai Li woke up like a dream: "I want to meet the chairman immediately!"

……

"This is real?"

The first sentence of the chairman's question was exactly the same as Dai Li's question.

"It's true, principal." Dai Li stood up straight: "Under the command of the District Chief Meng Shaoyuan, the Shanghai District of our Military Control Bureau successfully captured the assistant director of the Financial Regulatory Bureau of the Ministry of Finance of Japan, Iwabuchi, and the vice president of the Bank of Japan, the Central Bank of Japan. Taro Onishi, Bank of Japan Banknote Issuance Superintendent, Banknote Expert Tomita Shikiyoshi and other five people, the entire army of Japanese financial experts was wiped out!"

"well!"

The chairman was overjoyed: "Power on to reward, power on to reward!"

"Principal." Dai Li hastily reminded: "This time the entire Japanese financial expert group has been arrested, and the Japanese side may become angry after being panicked. If there is a public call to reward at this time, I'm afraid it will..."

"Yep."

The chairman nodded: "I am too happy, and I neglected this point. The arrest of these Japanese experts not only dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese financial system, but also made Japanese finance no secrets in front of us. This victory, no doubt Yay, we won a successful battle. Yu Nong, you are very good, and your soldiers are very good."

For the chairman, this is already a very high praise.

"It's Meng Shaoyuan again." The chairman seemed very excited: "He gave us a surprise every now and then. He solved Yanagawa Yasujun, and then rescued Someya Xingyu, so that we can more effectively target the poisonous gas of the Japanese army. Attack, now, he gave us such a big gift again. Tell me, how should we reward him?"

"Principal, if you give me a commendation, I'm afraid his tail will go up to the sky again. Maybe he will cause some trouble again in a few days." Dai Li said what he said from his heart: "I think it's better to remember this time. Let’s wait until he gets into trouble in the future to offset it.”

"You, Dai Yunong, are very considerate of your subordinates." The chairman of the committee smiled and said, "Okay, but you must be awarded honors. Chongqing, you don't have to come, Shanghai still needs him. In addition, about this bonus……"

"Appointment, Minister Kong, please see me."

"Okay, let him in."

"Commissioned seat, great news." Kong Xiangxi said excitedly as soon as he came in.

"Yongzhi, don't be in a hurry." The chairman interrupted him: "I also have a piece of good news, and it really has a lot to do with your Ministry of Finance. Yu Nong, you should report to Minister Kong."

"Yes!"

Dai Li immediately explained in detail how Meng Shaoyuan arrested the Japanese financial expert group.

"Oh my god." Kong Xiangxi said incredulously, "He, he arrested all the experts? Come on, let him send all these Japanese to Chongqing. This is an incalculable wealth! "

As he said that, he still seemed a little disbelieving: "How could it be, how could it be, how did he do it? How did he do it?"

"We don't know how to do it. We can only ask Meng Shaoyuan face to face." Then the chairman asked, "Yongzhi, what good news do you have?"

Kong Xiangxi pulled himself together: "It's also related to Meng Shaoyuan."

"Oh, it's him again? Tell me."

"It took only 28 days for Meng Shaoyuan to issue patriotic government bonds in Shanghai, and all of them have been sold. Now, all the funds have been handed over to our central bank in Shanghai!"

"28 days? He has issued all the [-] million yuan bonds?"

"Yes, all of them have been issued. According to the agreement, 2000 million yuan will be rewarded for the activities of the Military Control Bureau in Shanghai. The remaining 8000 million yuan is a lot of money. The interest is [-]%, and the interest is paid once a year."

"The interest rate is so low?" The chairman was stunned: "I remember that the construction bond we just issued has an interest rate of 25%, and the interest is paid twice a year. It will be paid off in [-] years, right?"

"That's right, Shanghai's patriotic bonds are actually construction bonds, and most of them don't have to be repaid."

"why?"

Dai Li interjected: "Principal, this is the case. Meng Shaoyuan sold most of the patriotic bonds to those profiteers who have contacts with the Japanese. By then, these will be fake properties."

"No wonder." The chairman suddenly realized: "He is using this brain, this person, in the eyes of those businessmen, I am afraid that now he is a bully image."

"Commissioner, I think there are still fewer bullies like this." Kong Xiangxi said with a smile: "If there are more bullies like this, I, the Minister of Finance, will have a much better life."

The chairman of the committee was still pondering how Meng Shaoyuan came up with this method: "2000 million, I think the reward is still too little. He has repeatedly created miracles, and I don't think it's too much to reward him with all the [-] million yuan."

Kong Xiangxi and Dai Li glanced at each other.

It is rare for the Chairman to say such words.

"2000 million, enough for him for a long time." Dai Li also knew that the headmaster said so casually: "How much is the monthly funding of our military command bureau headquarters? I think I have to send a telegram asking him to give half of the money to support Let's go to the headquarters."

"Yunong, this is extortion." The chairman actually made a joke.

"Meng Shaoyuan is notoriously stingy, if you ask him to take out half of it, it will really kill him." After Kong Xiangxi finished speaking, he said seriously: "At the same time, Meng Shaoyuan also suggested to the Shanghai Council of the Four Federation Headquarters that in view of the current The struggle situation in Shanghai is severe, can we evacuate our four major banks in batches? Especially those machines and reserve silver."

The smile on the chairman's face disappeared.

Although Shanghai fell, the four major banks, the Central Bank, Bank of China, Bank of Communications, and Farmer's Bank, still stick to the public concession.

At the same time, the General Office of the Four Unions was established, that is, the joint office of the Central Committee, China, Communications, and Chinese Farmers. The chairman served as the chairman of the Council of the General Office of the Four Unions, and a separate council was established in Shanghai.

After the fall of Shanghai and Nanjing, apart from military tickets issued by Japan, legal currency was still in circulation in the occupied areas at that time.

Therefore, the Shanghai branches of the two major banks of China and the Central Bank avoided the concession, not only had the original central bank’s money printing equipment, but also continued to undertake the task of currency issuance.

In addition, it also takes care of the more than 2000 million taels of silver reserves that were transferred from Pingjin by Sino-French Industrial and Commercial Bank of China and Agricole Bank in the concession.

"Meng Shaoyuan's idea is good, but the Four Banks must not withdraw." The chairman of the committee said in a deep voice: "The Four Banks support in Shanghai hard, and I am also concerned about it day and night, but the Four Banks' work in Shanghai has a very close relationship with the country's overall financial security. Big, once the four banks in Shanghai retreat, not only will there be drastic changes in the legal currency and foreign exchange markets, but it will also destroy the financial stability in the rear, and the economic power of the southeastern provinces will inevitably be snatched by the enemy, which is not good for oneself, and will also affect the international market. audiovisual."

This is also the key reason why the chairman and the national government insisted on not withdrawing from the four banks in Shanghai.

"Meng Shaoyuan is a layman in the country's economy, and he can't understand the meaning of this level." Kong Xiangxi nodded: "He is also under a lot of pressure, and he has to fight the Japanese traitors, and he is also responsible for protecting the four industries in Shanghai. what."

"It's strenuous, and it's very strenuous." The chairman was silent for a while and said: "But this matter is too involved, no matter how tired you are, you have to persevere."

"I am also a layman in economics." Dai Li said: "But I see if it is possible to do this. Can we ship back half of our 2000 million silver reserves in Shanghai? This is to prevent changes in Shanghai and reduce emergency evacuation Second, it can also support Chongqing."

"Yongzhi, you are in charge of finances, what do you think?"

"I think it's feasible." Kong Xiangxi calculated in his mind: "Although Shanghai has reduced its silver reserves by half, 1000 million taels can still handle it. In case of a run on storm, the four banks in Shanghai will support each other, and I expect to be able to handle it."

"Let this matter be handled by Meng Shaoyuan." The chairman no longer hesitated: "Let him work with the four banks in Shanghai to come up with a detailed plan. 1000 million taels of silver, one or two of which must be given to me Safely transport it back to Chongqing. As for the rest of the reserve silver and money printing equipment left in Shanghai, let him help the government keep a close eye on it."

"With Meng Shaoyuan sitting in Shanghai, nothing will go wrong." Dai Li is full of confidence: "It's just that I heard that someone in the Overwatch Council is preparing his black materials. Principal, the work of military command has its own special features, and Shanghai is even more special. Things are inevitable, but he is always being sued like this, I am afraid it will chill the hearts of the soldiers in front."

"I've also heard about this matter. After all, it's nothing more than a trivial matter." The chairman snorted coldly: "They have the ability to sue, but they are not good at fighting. These people. I just talked about the award. It seems that there is still a reward. Meng Shaoyuan has made outstanding contributions, and he will be rewarded with 2 yuan in legal currency, in addition."

The chairman paused there: "Meng Shaoyuan commanded the Shanghai District of the Military Control Bureau to assassinate the tycoon Yanagawa Yasunari, rescue the chemical weapons expert Yukyu Someya, and capture all the members of the Japanese financial expert team. The credit is beyond words. Therefore, I will ask Meng Shaoyuan to be awarded the Order of Blue Sky and White Sun!"

Both Dai Li and Kong Xiangxi were frightened.

The Blue Sky and White Sun Medal?

Dai Li hurriedly said: "Principal, since the 19th year of the Republic of China, Young Marshal Zhang won the first Blue Sky and White Sun Medal. For so many years, apart from the fallen soldiers, the recipient of the honor is also a major general at the lowest level. Meng Shaoyuan is only a major."

"The rank of the position is not enough to be confused with the commendation of meritorious service." The chairman said slowly: "According to Articles [-], [-], and [-] of the awarding regulations, those who are suitable for planning and receiving all merits; Those who resolutely rise up and fight to restore the decline in times of hardship should be awarded the Blue Sky and White Sun Medal, and Meng Shaoyuan fully complies with the three requirements!"

Then he said in an indisputable tone:
"Yunong, I know you are afraid that Meng Shaoyuan will attract attention, but this matter is settled like this!"
