Chapter 570 Intensifies
"This batch of counterfeit banknotes is very realistic, even I didn't see any flaws, but it is indeed fake!"

Misuke Tanaka's tone was full of bitterness, because the gendarmerie captain understood how harmful counterfeit banknotes are.

"Your Excellency, how were these counterfeit banknotes discovered, where did they come from, and how many are they?"

Kawashima Kintake couldn't distinguish such realistic counterfeit banknotes, so he was very puzzled how Misuke Tanaka found out.

"Hey, how could I find the flaw, if the people from the bank didn't find me, I still don't know about it."

Misuke Tanaka's tone was very helpless, and he also felt very ashamed. After all, he didn't notice such a big thing at all, especially when he was reminded at the headquarters of the special high school.

Next, Misuke Tanaka introduced what happened, and it took more than ten minutes to tell the story.

It turned out that the reason why the counterfeit banknotes were discovered so quickly was that a staff member of the Japan Specikin Bank accidentally discovered several banknotes with different numbers, which caused him to panic.

Because the numbers issued by the yen have certain rules, and these yen numbers obviously should not appear, so the staff immediately reported the matter to the bank manager.

The manager was also very surprised when he saw these yen. He immediately knew that something was wrong, so he checked the warehouse immediately and thoroughly checked all the yen.

After a thorough investigation, many yen with abnormal numbers were found. The manager knew that the matter was important, and immediately contacted the issuing bank of the yen to confirm that these codes had not been used.

After getting this result, the manager summoned professionals to carefully observe the yen, and finally found a tiny flaw.

However, non-professional financial professionals cannot distinguish these tiny flaws at all, and even bank staff cannot see them unless they distinguish them carefully.

Although these flaws were discovered, the manager of the bank was unable to deal with the matter, so he had to inform the gendarmerie of the matter, hoping that the gendarmerie could crack the case.

Although the manager of the bank knew that this was a big deal, he didn't know the truth of the matter. He thought that some criminals were secretly counterfeiting the yen, and he didn't think the scale of the counterfeiting would be large.

In addition, the counterfeit banknotes had just been used, most of which were in the hands of individuals, and there were not many in the bank, so he did not expect serious consequences, thinking that this matter only occurred in Tianjin, and the matter was still within the controllable range.

But when Misuke Tanaka received the information from the Headquarters of the Super High School, he naturally thought of the fact that the National Government was imitating counterfeit banknotes to pay, so he broke into a cold sweat at that time.

But this matter cannot be made public, because once it is made public, it will cause confusion in the market, and even ordinary people will not recognize the yen, so Misuke Tanaka is under a lot of pressure, so he found Kawashima Kintake to discuss countermeasures.

Before Tanaka finished speaking, Kawashima Kintake said solemnly: "Your Excellency, the most important thing now is to quickly notify the headquarters of this matter, and let General Ao Tuoyuan order the intelligence agencies in various places to thoroughly investigate this matter?"

Kintake Kawashima, who knew the seriousness of the matter, immediately put forward this suggestion. After all, if the counterfeit banknotes were printed by the Nationalist Government, they would definitely not be used in Tianjin, so the entire Japanese intelligence agencies needed to work together to deal with this matter.

"I have notified the headquarters of the matter, but how to deal with the Tianjin matter, these counterfeit banknotes are too realistic, once the Chinese people use them on a large scale, there will be very serious consequences."

What Kawashima Kintake could think of, Misuke Tanaka could also think of. After all, in terms of the overall situation, this gendarmerie captain is very insightful, otherwise he would not be a major general of the Japanese army.

But he didn't know how to deal with the matter in front of him. After all, he was a Japanese soldier and had no relevant experience.

"Your Excellency General, we have no good solution for the time being. We can only notify the major chambers of commerce and ask them to pay attention to minimize losses."

Kawashima Jinwu also had no countermeasures. After all, the counterfeit banknotes were too realistic, and there was no way to stop them. They could only inform the matter, because only major chambers of commerce would use counterfeit banknotes on a large scale.

"No, once the matter is notified to the major chambers of commerce, the matter will be exposed, which will easily cause great turmoil. If the people lose confidence, it will cause very serious consequences if they do not accept the yen."

Misuke Tanaka did not dare to inform the matter. After all, doing so would cause serious consequences, and may even lead to a crisis of confidence in the yen.

Once this happened, he, the captain of the gendarmerie, would be very troublesome, so when the bank notified the matter, he specifically asked for secrecy.

"But General, if you don't notify, if this kind of counterfeit banknotes are used on a large scale by the Chinese, and the people of the empire don't know about it, then the loss will be great."

Kintake Kawashima knew that the national government would definitely use this kind of counterfeit banknotes on a large scale. After all, it was a sharp weapon that would bring serious consequences to Japan, so he wanted to make the matter public to reduce losses.

"No, this matter will cause a lot of commotion. It must not be made public now. Even if it is made public, it cannot be done by us."

Misuke Tanaka's tone is very firm. After all, once the matter is made public, he will be under a lot of pressure. Even the Japanese cabinet and military will keep an eye on this matter.

At that time, the responsibility for resolving this matter will be on Misuke Tanaka. After all, Tianjin is the first to discover this matter.

Therefore, in Misuke Tanaka's heart, as long as the situation in Tianjin is stable, then even if the incident breaks out, he will not be found, so he tried his best to conceal the news.

"Your Excellency General, what should we do? Do we just sit back and watch the Chinese use these counterfeit banknotes?"

Kawashima Kintake is not a fool either. After a little thought, he understood Misuke Tanaka's purpose, but he was unwilling to let it go. After all, it would bring great losses to Japan, so he asked.

"That's why I asked you to come here. We must think of a good countermeasure. We must not only conceal this matter, but also reduce the loss of the empire."

"Your Excellency, this is embarrassing me. If you want to achieve this goal, unless the Chinese don't use this kind of counterfeit money.

But the Chinese are in financial difficulties, and this move will bring us great harm. How could they not use these counterfeit banknotes. "

Kawashima Jinwu's tone was very embarrassing, because he couldn't solve the matter at all, and he didn't even have any ideas.

Hearing that Kawashima Kintake had no idea, Misuke Tanaka frowned even deeper. After all, if this situation continues, the counterfeit banknotes may not be concealed.

After a few minutes of silence, Kintake Kawashima said in a complicated manner: "Your Excellency, why don't you call Captain Wu from the Special Forces. This person is quick-witted and familiar with the situation in China. Maybe he can give you some advice."

Wu Baozhong is very capable, even stronger than the Japanese agents. Kawashima Kintake also knows this, but he doesn't want to admit it. After all, the Japanese have strong self-esteem.

The reason why he was able to say these words was because the matter was of great importance, Kawashima Kintake had no choice, that's why he was like this, and speaking like this was tantamount to admitting that he was inferior to others, which made this proud little devil feel very uncomfortable.

"No, you can't discuss with him!"

Misuke Tanaka refused without hesitation, which surprised Kintake Kawashima. After all, in his heart, he believed that the gendarmerie captain attached great importance to Wu Baozhong.

"Your Excellency, why is this?"

Kintake Kawashima is Japanese, and he is also a high-ranking member of the special high school, so he has no scruples. Since he has doubts in his heart, he immediately asks, and looks at Misuke Tanaka with a puzzled look.

"The fact of counterfeit banknotes is too big. Once exposed, it will cause a lot of trouble, so we have to be cautious."

After a pause, he continued: "No matter how powerful Captain Wu is, he is a Chinese. We can reuse them, but we must be careful."

For Wu Baozhong, Misuke Tanaka thinks highly of him, but he doesn't trust him, because this little devil also understands the truth that if he is not of my race, his heart must be different, so he uses Wu Baozhong and guards against him, so he will not trust him completely .

Kawashima Kintake was taken aback by Misuke Tanaka's words, but he didn't say much. Instead, he was a little happy in his heart, but he didn't show it.

Since the two of them couldn't come up with an idea, and they didn't dare to discuss with others at will, the matter couldn't be resolved. In the end, Misuke Tanaka had no choice but to order the special high-level class to conduct a secret investigation to try to find any clues.

Three days passed quickly, and in the past few days, there have been some rumors about counterfeit banknotes. After all, counterfeit banknotes can be circulated, so naturally someone will take them to the bank for use.

The most convenient place to use the yen is naturally the Zhengjin Bank, because this bank is opened by the Japanese.

But the Zhengjin Bank has already discovered the counterfeit banknotes, so it will naturally check them carefully, so people who use counterfeit banknotes will naturally be discovered by the bank's staff.

Naturally, the staff of Zhengjin Bank would not do things that were obviously at a disadvantage, and these counterfeit banknotes were too realistic, almost the same as the real ones, so that people who used counterfeit banknotes did not believe the result, which caused some disturbances.

As soon as it came and went, the matter spread. Many businessmen and ordinary people knew that there was a fake yen in the TJ market. Even though the intelligence agencies and the gendarmerie tried their best to block it, they did not cover up the news.

As time passed, counterfeit banknotes became more and more serious, and many merchants and people who could not tell the real ones from the fake ones were no longer willing to accept yen transactions in order to avoid unnecessary losses.

Merchants are unwilling to accept the yen, which soon caused serious consequences, because Japanese soldiers and most Japanese people use the yen, and now the yen has caused a crisis of trust. Even if the yen in the hands of these people is not It becomes waste paper and begins to depreciate, and it depreciates very quickly.

This situation quickly alarmed the Japanese high-level, and even the entire Chinese intelligence agencies were investigating the matter.

And the market in Tianjin was flooded with a large number of counterfeit banknotes, which disrupted the entire market. Even the North China Front Army Headquarters and the North China Liaison Department of Xingya Academy had repeatedly asked about this, which made the Gendarmerie Captain feel overwhelmed!
