Chapter 760 Preparation (2) Happy Mid-Autumn Festival~
After Zuo Zhong introduced the job changes of Lin Fuichiro and Hase Ryosuke, he stretched out his hand towards the chair to signal Gu Qi to sit down, and then said.

"Just now there is something that I can't say publicly, Old Gu, I want you to go to the mountain city and find a hidden place to build a secret base.

The site selection criteria are very simple, the space can accommodate 100 people, there is water around, and it is convenient for air defense operations.

In the name of the Ministry of the Interior, I issued a certificate to you, requesting the full cooperation of the local government, and the external reason was to establish a reformatory school. "

After speaking, he took out another document, put it on the table and gently pushed it out. The vermilion official seal of the Ministry of the Interior was very conspicuous on it.

Similar official documents have always been the standard equipment for secret missions. Whoever makes the Ministry of the Interior have a big background and a lot of mountains, this kind of wool is not for nothing.

to the mountain city,
Still using fake documents.

Gu Qi picked up the document and looked at it, secretly guessing what the mission was, anyway, it must be more than just establishing a secret base.

Because the secret base can be built anywhere, there is no need to go to the southwestern region where the transportation is inconvenient, the terrain is rough, and the people are strong.

This is very uneconomical, and it will cost a lot of money just for infrastructure construction, and the funds of the Secret Service cannot afford such squandering.

Could it be that Chuli is going to set up a training camp to train intelligence personnel to encircle and suppress the surviving underground party in the Southwest? Gu Qi was thoughtful.

"Okay, stop thinking about it."

Zuo Zhong on the side knocked on the table and shook his head slightly: "I can't say the specific use and purpose of that place yet.

I can only tell you one thing, if the mission is successful, at least I can help you bring a general star, this is no exaggeration. "

Gu Qi heard that his breathing was a bit heavy, and it was a hurdle to go from a school officer to a general, and many outstanding warriors on the battlefield could not cross it.

So what is the mission? He was itching like a cat scratching his heart, and he immediately got up and answered with a military salute.

"Yes, I'm leaving tomorrow."

"Well, good place."

Zuo Chong saw that Lao Gu looked like he had been beaten up and smiled, who doesn't love fame and fortune, especially those who work in the government.

The party-state elites are officials with a salary of only a few tens of dollars. Is it really for the sake of the people?

He is not afraid of his subordinates being ambitious, it is human nature to want to make progress, as long as the mission goes well, he is willing to give the other party a chance to take the lead.

Suddenly, Zuo Chong seemed to have thought of something, and said again: "By the way, besides that, you can find Ma Tianchang from the Cao Gang.

In the smuggling case, this guy has a tendency to cock his tail, give me a good beat, let him understand who is his master.

By the way, order him to find a group of skilled engraving masters. The skills must be good, so you don't talk about it with other people. "

"Okay, deputy director."

After hearing this, Gu Qi didn't pay attention, thinking that Zuo Zhong had some personal work that needed to be handled by the sculptor, so he hurriedly said goodbye and left after chatting for a few words.

The mountain city is no different than Jinling and Shanghai. The local law and order is chaotic, and the armed forces of underworld, bandits, bandits, and landlords are intertwined.

If there were not enough guards, Brother Muddy Water Pao would light up the sky as soon as he left the city, and he was going to pick some actions to accompany him.

As for the danger, no matter how dangerous it is, you have to go. In a person's life, there are several opportunities to reach the sky in one step, and they must be firmly grasped.

If God can't take it, you must bear the blame,
If the time doesn't work, you will suffer from it.

Having worked in intelligence work for so long, Gu Qi understands this truth, and his official career has always been to retreat if he does not advance, and there is no room for too much hesitation.

Looking at his back, Zuo Chong recalled in his mind the second telegram from Lin Fuichiro, a piece of information about Japanese yen banknotes.

When it comes to Japanese banknotes, we need to start with the Yamada Yushu, which was issued in the Yamada area in 1600 with the credit of the shrine.

This kind of local currency is also called fanzha because it needs the consent of the shogunate. There were more than 200 kinds of currency during the Meiji Restoration.

Hanzha usually uses handmade Japanese paper as banknote paper. The processing method is unique, and the paper produced is of high quality and is not easy to imitate.

Using natural tuff as a paper dye, it is possible to produce famous salt goose skin paper with unique color and texture.

This paper craft is extremely complex,

Yield is very low.

In addition, the Japanese also learned the division of labor and cooperation without a teacher, dividing the bottom plate of banknote printing into several pieces and handing them over to multiple craftsmen for production.

Since these craftsmen come from different families, there is a relationship of competition among themselves, and there will be no situation of secretly imitating the master plate.

And every few years, the shogunate will revise the vassal papers, and the old banknotes will be burned and destroyed regularly every year to avoid counterfeit banknotes.

Due to the proper management and control of issuance, the strong supervision of the reserve payment system, and the effective anti-counterfeiting methods, fan letters have been in circulation for more than 270 years.

In 1871, the Japanese government issued a unified currency—the Japanese yen. With the help of the printing experience of the vassal letters, the anti-counterfeiting measures were quite perfect.

For example, when special bark pulp is added to the production of Mingyan Goose Paper, the natural pigment will dye the banknote paper into a unique light yellow color.

The greater the face value,
The darker the color.

This makes the yen have a sense of vicissitudes that other currencies do not have. Many people try to imitate it, but of course they fail.

Only a few people in Japan know what kind of tree this mysterious bark pulp comes from, and the specific ratio is a top secret among top secrets.

Before the Tokyo Station was destroyed, people were sent to inquire about relevant information many times, but they found nothing, and they were almost targeted by Japanese intelligence agencies.

However, Lin Fu Yilang's information clearly stated that the bark pulp came from the bark of the three-branch tree, and he did not know where he got the news.

However, the Japanese Mint is a first-level institution under the Ministry of Finance, and this guy has a way to learn about this information.

officialdom?
You know everything.

It is said to be confidential, but not everyone will abide by the confidentiality rules, especially for the chief, and the Japanese are no exception.

In short, Zuo Zhong checked the information, and the three-branch tree is a kind of Daphneaceae plant. It is said that it is unique to Japan, and it is not distributed in other places.

This is a bit nonsense. He doesn't believe that there are any unique species in those few small islands. There must be similar plants in the territory of the Republic of China.

That's why he asked Gucci to find a secluded place in the mountain city, and wanted to see if he could "copy" the Japanese yen to supplement the expenses.

Just knowing the composition of banknote paper does not mean that it can be copied successfully. Watermarks, inks, letterpress printing machines, and serial numbers are all problems.

anything goes wrong,

Then all efforts are lost.

Zuo Zhong couldn't help but think of a line in a certain movie in Hong Kong City in the future - you first get the acid-free paper, and I'll get the color-changing ink.

The artist teacher will teach you how to copy banknotes. The watermark is very easy to solve. Just put the watermark paper between two pieces of famous Yanyan leather paper.

There is no shortcut for ink, only try again and again, if it fails a hundred times, it will be a thousand times, and if it fails a thousand times, it will be ten thousand times.

The letterpress printing machine is the simplest, no matter what the government is, it is a state power, and it can legally purchase printing machines from Europe and the United States.

The rare thing is the serial number. First, there must be no repeated numbers. Second, the number should be written in accordance with the rules of the serial number of Japanese yen banknotes.

The work required specialist analysts and mathematicians, as well as complex modifications to printing presses by engineers.

copy yen,

It's really not easy.

Zuo Zhong couldn't help being a little hesitant, but thinking about the benefits of success, he immediately decided to continue this work, even if the hope was slim.

Money is what is fought in modern warfare. If it can disrupt the financial order of the Japanese, it will be worth the cost and time.

Originally, printing counterfeit currency of the enemy country is one of the economic methods commonly used in war. If the Secret Service prints a large amount of yen, it will flow into the market.

On the one hand, the yen can be depreciated rapidly, and the life of ordinary Japanese will become poor, and the army will naturally have little combat effectiveness.

Without military pay and pensions, you can be fooled for a while, but not for a lifetime. No matter how brainwashed the Bushido spirit is, it can't be eaten.

Secondly, as long as he was willing to spend money, he might be able to win a battle without seeing blood. He didn't believe that the Japanese didn't love money.

How much is a division commander worth?

Is 100 million enough?

Not enough plus,

Anyway, I printed it myself.

The more Zuo Zhong thought about it, the more he felt that copying the yen was a clever plan, so he simply sat down at the desk and wrote the report.

The content is to apply to the headquarters of the Bureau, and the Secret Service will be responsible for the task of counterfeiting Japanese yen, and by the way, ask Mr. Cheap for support.

Dai Chunfeng entered the palace for the second time in Hong Kong City and Chang'an, and his mood was in a period of depression. He was easily suspicious, and he must not hide this matter from him.

At the same time, relying on Ma Tianchang to find people, if you want to crack the yen, you have to wait until the year of the monkey, and you must bring in professionals to speed up.

skilled craftsman,

painter,

sculptor,
Ink Specialist,

mathematician.

These people are all needed. Unlike the battle where the bayonet sees red, this war without gunpowder is about brains and calculations.

In the report, he listed the various benefits and wonderful prospects of the counterfeit banknote program, emphasizing that it can effectively supplement funds.

It is impossible for Lao Dai, who is already so poor that he is about to become a trouser, to disagree. Then again, Dai Chunfeng may have had this idea very early on.

Otherwise, why would Tokyo Station take the risk to find information about the yen?

Zuo Chong wrote several thousand words eloquently. After finishing writing, he put the report in his briefcase, and then drove to the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics.

The result was exactly as he thought, Lao Dai read the report and immediately approved the operation, and even personally gave the operation a good code name.

— Operation Parchment.

Following the canning project, the Secret Service once again launched a secret plan against the Japanese, and the two are equally important.

No matter which one succeeds, it can deal a heavy blow to the Japanese aggressors and break the opponent's extravagant hope of ending the war in three months.

Holding Dai Chunfeng's instructions, Zuo Zhong tightened his collar while standing in the cold wind of Jinling, bent down and got into the car and quickly disappeared on the street.

The bustling Jinling City is as prosperous as ever, and no one knows that a disaster is coming, and blood gradually shrouds the sky over the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties.

wind sound,

seems to be getting bigger,
　Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, I just finished writing, and the war of resistance begins tomorrow.
