The most cattle cottage in the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 538 Counterfeit Banknotes
Gao Jiu's career is a bandit, and he never gets tired of robbing to make a fortune.

However, it was different this time. Since Sakai died, Gao Jiu didn't plan to stay in Beiping any longer, so he planned to go back.

Gao Jiu said to Wang Yufeng and the others: "Forget it this time. I plan to leave for Shandong today. I have other things to deal with."

Wang Yufeng and others were very disappointed.Gao Jiu's visit this time has already brought a large amount of wealth to the Beiping Station of the Military Command, and he killed Sakai and dealt a severe blow to the North China Dispatch Army.Therefore, Wang Yufeng was a little embarrassed to say anything more.

He stretched out his hand and squeezed the deputy station master's back hard. The deputy station chief grinned in pain and turned to look at Wang Yufeng.

Wang Yufeng winked at him vigorously. The deputy station master is also a high-level spy. He understood, and said with a smile: "Jiu Ye, I know you are a busy man, but you rarely come to Peiping, so let the brothers come back again." Let's get some light with you."

"Yes, Master Jiu, you should pity us miserable underground workers." The spies also looked pitifully at Gao Jiu expectantly.

To be honest, the Military Control Beiping Station provided Gao Jiu with a lot of help this time.Since everyone begged so much, Gao Jiu couldn't cool everyone's hearts, so he nodded and said, "Okay then! I'll stay for another two days. Do you have any important goals?"

Seeing that Gao Jiu agreed, the secret agents cheered.Wang Yufeng took out a city map of Beiping, on which circles had already been drawn.

Gao Jiu was amused when he saw it. The circles drawn by these guys were not important military targets of the Japanese army, but all of them were economic targets of the Japanese and puppets such as banks, trading companies, and factories.

The deputy station master said, "Jiu Ye, Fuji Bank in Japan is very rich, so why not use this bank as a knife."

After thinking for a while, Gao Jiu said: "If you only want money, you don't need to go to such trouble. You can just choose some Japanese-funded targets and those big traitors, and send someone to notify them, and let them pay the money." gone."

When the spies heard this, they immediately smiled.Wang Yufeng said: "Really, with Jiuye here, do we need to work so hard? Jiuye is famous, and if you send a post, are you afraid that they will not obediently send the money?"

Wang Yufeng immediately brought a pen and paper, and wrote a lot of papers.

Ning Wu looked at him writing so hard, and said: "Stationmaster Wang, who can understand the writing is so long-winded? Let me write it."

He wrote a letter in a few words, which said: "I will leave Beiping soon, and I need some travel expenses. Please help me, otherwise, I will come to pick it up. The specific time and place to pay is as follows: Waiting for notification at home.

Peach Blossom Mountain is nine high. "

After finishing writing, Ning Wu handed the letter to Gao Jiu.Gao Jiu glanced at it, and said with a smile: "That's it. But, Ning Wu, your handwriting is really terrible. Station Master Wang, please make a new copy."

Speaking of this, Gao Jiu gave another warning, and said, "Don't be too secretive. The amount of money each household needs should not be too large, so as not to cause trouble."

Wang Yufeng nodded and said, "Don't worry, Master Jiu. We won't talk too loudly. We'll only make those guys feel bad. We won't feel sorry for them. There's no need to feel uncomfortable looking for some money."

There are many special agents in the Beiping station of the military command, and they are very active in this kind of money-making business, and soon sent the letter with the same content to the target they selected in advance.

When Wang Fulu, the chairman of the Peking Chamber of Commerce, received the blackmail letter, his first feeling was not to call the police, but to hurry up and prepare the money, give it to the bandits who came to extort money, and then live in peace.

He immediately ordered someone to prepare the money, and then waited for the call at home.When he received the call, he immediately ordered someone to take the money, and handed over the money at the time and place specified on the phone.

Wang Yufeng and others selected a total of 12 targets, and proposed different amounts of extortion according to their worth.Without exception, these 12 sufferers did not choose to call the police, and obediently sent the money over.

The reason why the extortion was completed so quickly was, of course, that Gao Jiu's name was so resounding that no one dared to call the police.The example of Sakai is there. The dignified deputy chief of staff of the North China Dispatch Army can't protect himself. No one dares to make them feel uncomfortable.

By noon the next day, all the sufferers had handed over the money, a total of 56 oceans.

This time, Wang Yufeng and others were very conscious, they didn't dare to take half of it, so they only asked for 16 oceans, and let Gao Jiu take the rest.For them, the 16 oceans were enough to make them so excited that they couldn't sleep for three days and three nights.

Wang Yufeng and others hosted a banquet in honor of Gao Jiu and others, and saw him off.

Gao Jiu planned to leave Peiping after dinner.

At this moment, Shen Mengyuan, who was studying at Yenching University, came suddenly.

Gao Jiu was very happy to see her, and said, "Miss Shen, I was thinking of saying goodbye to you, come, sit down, let's have a drink."

Shen Mengyuan was also very happy to see Gao Jiu, and everyone chatted together.

Shen Mengyuan smiled and said, "Jiuye! Ever since you went to Yenching University, many of my female classmates have praised you for being suave and suave. They all envy me for having a cousin like you. Ge Ge, Ge Ge." Here, she smiled smugly.

Hearing this, everyone laughed together.

Wang Yufeng said: "That is, Master Jiu is suave, handsome and talented. No matter where he goes, he will be favored by beauties and famous ladies."

Shen Mengyuan said: "Station Master, Master Jiu, there is a Xiaokai in our department who has been pursuing me. He heard about my cousin and got very jealous. He ran over to me and took me to buy it. Got some jewelry.

I said this not to show off, but I found a strange thing, this little Kai was very generous this time, he was very generous when paying, and took out a lot of brand new legal currency at that time.

The owner of the jewelry store saw that the money was new, so he held it up to the sun and carefully examined it for a while, but he didn't find any problems, so he accepted it.

I was a little curious at the time, so I asked him for some legal currency, and specially brought it here for Lord Jiu and the station master to see. "

As she said that, she took out some French coins, which were very new and smelled of ink.

At this time, the currency in use in the Japanese-occupied area included ocean, Japanese yen, French currency, and North China notes printed by the Japanese counterfeiters. Among them, the legal currency was no longer the mainstream currency, and was banned later.

After all, Shen Mengyuan is a professionally trained spy, she is very sensitive, so many fiat currency appeared at once, and it was so new, which aroused Shen Mengyuan's curiosity.

Wang Yufeng and the spies took the French coins and looked at them carefully for a while, but they couldn't see anything wrong.

The deputy station master said: "There is nothing wrong with the money. It is nothing if the rich have stored some new legal currency."

Gao Jiu took the legal currency, looked at it carefully, his expression suddenly became serious, and he said, "This is fake."

"What, fake? Impossible!" Wang Yufeng and the others couldn't believe it. They even took out their original legal currency and carefully checked it, but they still couldn't see any problems.

Gao Jiu pointed to the lower right corner of the portrait, and said, "Look carefully at the sunlight and see what's different here."

After Gao Jiu's guidance, everyone discovered that in this place, the real legal currency has a watermark, and the fake legal currency also has a watermark.If you don't observe carefully, you can't see the difference between them, but if you compare them together, there are still some slight differences in the middle.

After all, Wang Yufeng is a senior secret agent, and he is also aware of the seriousness of the problem.He asked: "What is the identity of that Xiao Kai?"

Shen Mengyuan said: "His father is a senior assistant at the Fuji Bank of Japan."

Gao Jiu nodded and said: "No wonder. I have long been worried that the Japanese will do this. It seems that the Japanese have already prepared and implemented it. They are going to launch an economic war."

The spies at Beiping Station, including Wang Yufeng, knew little about this.The deputy station master said, "Master Jiu, what are the Japanese going to do? Please tell the brothers."

In the history of the Anti-Japanese War, in order to destroy the economy of the Kuomintang-controlled area, the Japanese printed a large amount of counterfeit French currency, sent people to the Kuomintang-controlled area, and purchased various strategic materials in the Kuomintang-controlled area, resulting in skyrocketing prices and causing serious damage to the economy of the Kuomintang-controlled area. The majority of the people also suffered from it, which to a large extent weakened the government's ability to resist Japan.

Gao Jiu introduced the relevant knowledge about economic warfare to everyone.

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and they all angrily denounced the insidiousness and cunning of the Japanese devils.

The deputy stationmaster said bitterly: "Master Jiu, this time Fuji Bank is really too cheap. We only paid him a ransom of 8 yuan. If we had known earlier, we should have hit them hard."

But Wang Yufeng said: "Jiu Ye, this matter is too serious, I don't know how much legal currency has flowed to the rear, what should I do?"

Gao Jiu said: "Miss Shen has done a great job this time, I can conclude that these French coins have not yet flowed into the rear.

After the legal currency is printed, they will take out a small part and first circulate it in the Japanese theater to test its recognition.

The employees of Fuji Bank should have received some of these counterfeit coins, and they should have been instructed to circulate them in small batches for testing.

What they didn't expect was that our Miss Shen was so charismatic that Xiao Kai took out so many counterfeit legal coins all at once.At the same time, Ms. Shen was very astute, and she did a great job in discovering the problems with these fiat coins in time.

I suggest that your military command should reward Miss Shen heavily. "

Shen Mengyuan was a little embarrassed by the praise, she was very good at talking, and said with a smile: "It's still Jiu Ye who has the eyes to recognize gold, and none of us can see that these legal coins are fake."

Gao Jiu said decisively: "Station Master Wang, let me draft a telegram. In the name of the Military Command Beiping Station, report this matter to the Military Command headquarters."

Chongqing Military Command Headquarters.

The big boss received a secret telegram from the Beiping Station of the Military Command, which shocked him.He said with emotion: "Gao Jiu really deserves to be Master Gao Jiu. He has made great contributions to the country."

He didn't dare to be negligent, and immediately asked to see the big man, and reported the matter to him.

The big shots were also taken aback, and hurriedly consulted with experts from the Ministry of Finance, the Central Bank and others.Everyone is aware of the seriousness of the problem, and they hope to eliminate the dens for making counterfeit banknotes as soon as possible, and nip them in the bud.

The big shot gave the military command a death order, telling them to destroy the dens where the Japanese and puppets made counterfeit banknotes, and get the electric boards for printing legal currency. It is best to wipe out all the Japanese and puppet experts who made the counterfeit banknotes.

This matter is too big, and its nature is too serious, and the military command is under great pressure.

The big boss of the Military Command personally sent a telegram to Gao Jiu, asking him to assist in handling the matter, and gave a death order to the Military Command Beiping Station, asking them to assist Gao Jiu with all their strength.

His tone was very strict, and he ordered Beiping Station to complete this task at all costs, even if all members sacrificed.

At the same time, in order to cooperate with Gao Jiu in completing this arduous task, he also specially sent Wang Xilin, the deputy director of the counter-intelligence department who was familiar with Gao Jiu, and Zhou Mingshan, the station chief of the Nanyang Station of the Military Command, to Beiping to assist Gao Jiu. Nine to complete the task.

Gao Jiu sent a telegram back to the big boss of the military command, and there were only four words on it: "There is no shirkable responsibility."

Regarding Gao Jiu, the big boss was full of confidence, and he couldn't help laughing easily.

The military controlled Beiping Station.

This matter is too big, Gao Jiu and the others have to be very cautious.

Gao Jiu and others not only want to get the electric board and destroy the dens that print counterfeit banknotes, but also capture those Japanese and counterfeit experts who made counterfeit banknotes.

The clues they have now are that Fuji Bank in Peking is a den for the circulation of these counterfeit banknotes. It is not clear where the counterfeit banknotes are produced, who owns the electric board, and where the experts are.

Wang Yufeng and the others were very cautious about such matters, and they expressed that they would obey Gao Jiu's arrangement.

Gao Jiu said: "Miss Shen, you have to work hard on this matter, get in touch with Xiao Kai more, and learn as much as possible from him."

What Gao Jiu meant was for Shen Mengyuan to seduce Xiao Kai and get information from him.This somewhat makes Shen Mengyuan feel a little embarrassed.

Shen Mengyuan is a professionally trained secret agent. She knew the seriousness of the matter, she immediately stood at attention and saluted, and said solemnly: "Yes. I will definitely do my best to complete the task."

Gao Jiu asked the other agents of the Beiping Station of the Military Command to secretly investigate the engraving, printing paper, and transportation channels of the counterfeit banknotes, and find as many clues as possible.

Next, Gao Jiu and the others patiently waited for news from all sides.

On this day, Wang Xilin and Zhou Mingshan, escorted by the Taohuashan Special Forces, came to the liaison station in Liangxiang, Beiping Station of the Military Command.
