The most cattle cottage in the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 540 Super Big Cake

Gao Jiu and the others stayed in Taohua Mountain for two days, and then flew to Chongqing with Huang Banxian.

Gao Jiu went to Chongqing this time because he discovered a huge business opportunity. He wanted to participate in the manufacture of counterfeit money from the Japanese counterfeit side and get a share of it.

Gao Jiu is going to cooperate with the Military Command this time to launch an economic counterattack against the Japanese and puppet forces, because he is familiar with history and knows that the Military Command has presided over this economic counterattack in history.

During the War of Resistance Against Japan, due to the shortage of funds, the military and government officials of the government had to pay 20% of their salaries as patriotic donations, that is, everyone could only receive 80% of their salaries.

During the Anti-Japanese War, the military command never lacked funds. The number of special agents in the establishment alone reached more than 3000, and the special agents not only received 30% of their salaries, but even more than [-]% of their total salaries.

The reason why the military command is so rich is not the funds allocated by the national government, but that the military command has mastered a lucrative business, which is to manufacture counterfeit banknotes from the Japanese and puppet sides, purchase materials from enemy-occupied areas, and then send them to the national government. Sell ​​it on the black market in the district and make a lot of money from it.

Gao Jiu was ready to take part in it and cut a piece from this big cake.

Chongqing, Military Command Headquarters.

After Gao Jiu came to Chongqing, he had a secret talk with the big boss of the military command. The main content of the secret talk was to make counterfeit money from the Japanese side, and the two hit it off.

Not long after, the big boss of the military command reported the content of his secret conversation with Gao Jiu to the big shot, which attracted the big shot's attention.He instructed the parties concerned to hold a seminar immediately to discuss launching an economic counterattack.

This morning, Deputy Director Wang of the Military Committee's Attendant Office, the Big Boss of the Military Command, the Ministry of Finance, the Director of the Mint Department, the Governor of the Central Bank, and others held a secret meeting with Gao Jiu to discuss the economic war against the Japanese and puppet sides. , to implement counterattack operations.

This was a meeting of the highest level in the financial system of the government. Many people did not expect that Gao Jiu actually participated in this meeting.

It is true that Gao Jiu is an anti-Japanese hero, and his reputation is resounding, but in the eyes of many people, he is still a bandit from a rough background, and the label of a bandit is uneducated.They didn't quite understand why Gao Jiu was invited to attend such an important financial conference?

After the meeting started, the attendees found that Deputy Director Wang of the Military Commission's attendant office was very polite when introducing Gao Jiu, and the boss of the military command was also very respectful to Gao Jiu. They were secretly surprised by this.

Deputy Director Wang presided over the meeting.He said: "It was Mr. Gao who discovered the Japanese counterfeit legal currency to launch an economic war, and has already implemented a certain degree of attack on the Japanese puppet side. For this, the government expresses its heartfelt thanks to Mr. Gao.

First, Mr. Gao will introduce the relevant situation of the economic war launched by Japan. "

Based on the available historical data, Gao Jiu described the causes and consequences of the economic war launched by the Japanese government, the relevant personnel who presided over the economic war, the time and place of the forgery of legal currency, the equipment used, the paper materials used, and the degree of imitation of legal currency. All are described in detail.

Only then did the economic experts present realize that Gao Jiu's professional standards were no less than those of them.

After Gao Jiu introduced the basic situation, he said: "Currently, the Japanese forgery has achieved a high degree of imitation of legal currency. Although there are still defects that can be identified, it will not take long for the Japanese to thoroughly master the production of legal currency. Technology can produce legal currency that is exactly the same as the current legal currency, and it will be unrecognizable at that time, and the legal currency will suffer a serious blow. The legal currency will definitely depreciate sharply, and the price will skyrocket at that time, which will eventually cause the legal currency to withdraw from the circulation market.”

When Gao Jiu said this, everyone was shocked. This consequence is too serious. It will seriously hit the economy of the Kuomintang-controlled area, and even cause the economy to collapse.

Gao Jiu is definitely not alarmist.In history, after the outbreak of the Pacific War in December 1941, the Japanese army captured Hong Kong and seized the mint equipment and the latest version of the 12-yuan denomination legal currency of the Mint established by the Nationalist Government in Hong Kong, as well as the semi-finished products of the 10-yuan denomination legal currency and Banknote printing machines, legal currency codes, dark ledger books, etc. In 5, a submarine of the German Navy intercepted a U.S. merchant ship in the Pacific Ocean, seized semi-finished products printed by the U.S. Mint for China with a total denomination of 1942 billion French currency on board, and later handed them over to Japan.

Thanks to these trophies, the Noborito Research Institute finally cracked all the secrets of legal currency production, so that it was able to produce counterfeit legal currency banknotes that were authentic enough.By the time of Japan's surrender in August 1945, the Noborito Research Institute had printed a total of counterfeit French currency with a denomination of more than 8 billion yuan, which was unique among the countries participating in World War II.Yamamoto explained after the war: "The minimum monthly amount was no less than 40 million yuan, and with the increase in trade volume and the need for inflation, the amount of counterfeit currency continued to increase."

"This is impossible." The Director of the Mint Department of the Ministry of Finance raised doubts, because Gao Jiu's words implied that the production technology of legal currency would be stolen by the Japanese, which indicated that there were loopholes in the internal management of the Mint Bureau, which meant that Therefore, he, the director, may have seriously neglected his duties.

He said: "Mr. Gao, I'm afraid you are a layman. Let me ask you a question. Do you know where the legal currency is printed?"

The economic experts present all knew that legal currency was not printed in the country, and they all looked at Gao Jiu to see if he really knew what he was doing.

Gao Jiu said: "The French currency is printed jointly by the Central Bank of the Ministry of Finance and the British and American mints. The American mint is on East 24th Street in Seattle, and the British mint is at 16 Queen's Road in Hong Kong."

"This, this, how do you know?" This is highly confidential, and the Director of the Mint Department really did not expect that Gao Jiu would know such details, he asked in horror.

The others, including the deputy director of the attendant Wang and the big boss of the military command, were also shocked, and they all looked at Gao Jiu with questioning eyes.

Naturally, Gao Jiu couldn't say his source, nor could he say that there would be a Pacific war in the future, which would lead to the leakage of the secrets of legal currency.He said: "This is not a secret, the Japanese spy agencies are not just for nothing."

So far, everyone has no doubts about Gao Jiu's magic.

Deputy Director Wang asked: "The situation is so serious, what countermeasures does Mr. Gao have?"

Gao Jiu said: "Actually, there is nothing to worry about.

First of all, it is necessary to remind the British and the United States to strengthen relevant measures of technical secrecy. As long as there is no internal leak, the Japanese still cannot grasp the secrets related to the production of legal currency for the time being, so there are still traces of their counterfeit legal currency.

Secondly, taking advantage of the defects of counterfeit banknotes produced by Japan, the Ministry of Finance, banks and other economic departments, using newspapers, magazines and other means, carried out extensive publicity activities to remind and educate the general public to guard against counterfeit banknotes.

Special inspection agencies were set up in various departments of the military command and military police to strictly prohibit the circulation of counterfeit banknotes and strictly investigate and deal with those who sell counterfeit banknotes for profit. "

Everyone nodded frequently.

The governor of the central bank said with some concern: "I am afraid that the circulation of counterfeit money will not be completely banned."

Gao Jiu said: "What you said is very reasonable. We can only do our best to minimize the damage to the government's economy caused by counterfeit banknotes.

So far, the measures we have taken are all passive.We must take the initiative to fight poison with poison, counteract fakes with fakes, and counterattack the economic war launched by the Japanese army. "

Gao Jiu opened a suitcase that he brought with him, and took out nine kinds of currency issued by the Japanese and puppet sides and currently in circulation in the market.

He picked up a piece of currency and said: "Currently, the largest and most influential currency in the enemy-occupied area is the China Reserve Bank. We will first start by imitating the China Reserve Bank, and when the technical strength is sufficient, we will imitate other currencies. The Japanese and puppets launched a counterattack."

The China Reserve Note is the currency issued by the central bank of the traitorous government supported by Japan. The head portrait of the great man used is the same as the head portrait of the great man used in the legal currency.

The people present are all experts, imitating any kind of currency is very difficult.Gao Jiu chooses China National Reserve Securities and concentrates on technical strength as a breakthrough, which is the best choice under the current circumstances.

Everyone discussed and agreed.

The Director of the Mint Department considered himself an expert in minting, but he didn't expect to be crushed by the reckless Gao Jiu, and he felt a little embarrassing.He said: "Mr. Gao, there is some reason to choose the China Reserve Bank as a breakthrough, but I am afraid it is not the best choice. The largest circulation in enemy-occupied areas is the yen. Why not just counterfeit the yen?

This will not only hit the economy of the enemy theater, but also directly hit Japan's domestic economy.Wouldn't it be better? "

Gao Jiu glanced at him, but didn't speak.

The Director of the Mint Department thought that Gao Jiu had been questioned by him. In order to show his talent, he said: "Although our domestic technical strength is not up to the mark, there should be no problem with the British and American technical strength. The relationship is close, and it should be possible to invite some experts from them to study the yen.

Instead of this, it is better to focus on imitating the yen. "

Gao Jiu still didn't say anything, just looked at the Director of the Mint Department with playful eyes.

Other economic experts felt that something was wrong. They didn't think there was something wrong with Gao Jiu, but that the Director of the Mint Department might have said something stupid.

The big boss of the military command is full of confidence in Gao Jiu. He believes that Gao Jiu must have his reasons for proposing to use the China Reserve Bonds as a breakthrough.

As for coinage, Deputy Director Wang in the attendant's room is a real layman.He thought that the Director of the Mint Department had stumped Gao Jiu. In order to avoid Gao Jiu's embarrassment, he smoothed things over and said, "As for the choice of China National Reserve or Japanese Yen, we can discuss this matter further. Let's analyze their pros and cons reasonably. , I think a better conclusion can be drawn.”

Gao Jiu picked up a brand-new Japanese yen, and said: "The Japanese yen is only printed and issued by the Bank of Japan, and the printing process is mastered by many people. It is almost impossible to obtain the relevant secrets. It is extremely difficult to imitate.

The mulberry paper used by the Japanese yen is very unique in itself, and unique Japanese plant fibers are added to it. With the current technical strength of Britain and the United States, it is impossible to imitate it.

"So it's like this!" Everyone sighed, Gao Jiu actually knew the secret hidden in the yen.

The director of the mint department was finally convinced, he felt a little ashamed, and stopped talking.

After the meeting, the deputy director of the attendant Wang and the big boss of the military command reported to the big shot.

The big shots were very happy to see that they had found a way to launch an economic counterattack against Japan, and instructed them to take practical and effective actions.

The big boss said that he has reached an agreement with Gao Jiu, and Gao Jiu will assist the military command to complete the production and distribution of counterfeit currency.

The big man was well informed, he knew that Gao Jiu had close contacts with the military commander, so he agreed that the military commander should be responsible for this matter.

The big boss of the military command was very happy to get such a big cake, and he invited Gao Jiu to a banquet.

He said, "Brother Gao, I'm an amateur in this matter, how do you think it should be done?"

Gao Jiu was aware of the methods adopted in the history of military reunification. Based on the historical trajectory, he suggested the establishment of an economic war room against the enemy in the military reunification, and recommended Mr. Deng Baoguang, a famous economist, to preside over it.Choose a location in Chongqing to build a professional counterfeit banknote printing factory.

Regarding the secrets of the Central Bank, Gao Jiu promised to wait until the military command had set up an economic war room against the enemy, and after the personnel and equipment were in place, he would be responsible for stealing the relevant secrets from the Japanese and puppets.

As for the relevant paper and equipment for printing counterfeit banknotes, Gao Jiu is responsible for purchasing from the United States, and Gao Jiu can make a lot of money in this regard.

Gao Jiu is not a greedy person. He made an agreement with the big boss that after the counterfeit banknotes are printed, Gao Jiu will be in charge of the three provinces of Shandong, Henan, and Hebei, and hand over the purchased materials to the military command to sell them in the national control area, and the profit will be [-]% Open it, and leave [-]% of the profit to the military command.

As for other areas, all belong to the military.

The big boss knew Gao Jiu's character very well, and he was very satisfied with it.He is also a very good man. He asked Gao Jiu to send someone to join the economic war room. In fact, he reassured Gao Jiu that the military command would never hide anything from Gao Jiu.

Gao Jiu brought Huang Banxian here this time. On the one hand, Huang Banxian is an expert in counterfeiting. On the other hand, he also wanted to insert Huang Banxian into this project.

Hearing what the big boss said, Gao Jiu was not polite and recommended Huang Banxian to him.

After finishing this matter, Gao Jiu was satisfied, he thought of Ouyang Xue, and called her.

At this time, Ouyang Xue had already resigned from the aviation committee, and put her main energy on the production and operation of anti-Japanese medicine.

After receiving Gao Jiu's call, Ouyang Xue was very happy. She hurriedly changed into a suit of clothes, dressed up meticulously, and came to Gao Jiu's villa in Chongqing.
