My client Li Yunlong

Chapter 137 This is a silver dollar war, and we have unlimited troops.

"What does Tubalu want to do?"

In less than half a month, two consecutive Chiefs of Staff and Deputy Chiefs of Staff of the First Army were killed, making Yoshio Shinozuka realize that the Eighth Route Army might be targeting his positions as Chief of Staff and Deputy Chief of Staff.

Rather than a certain officer.

"Demonstration?"

"Show strength?"

"crazy?"

But it also left Yoshio Shinozuka puzzled.

Even if there is an attack, it should be against the actual commander, the brigade commander, or the regiment commander.

No matter how bad it is, he still has to be the captain!

The Japanese Locust Army has already established a contemporary military staff system. The staff is only an executive officer system and can be replenished in time.

Using the officers of the Locust Army to supplement their capabilities, unless the loss exceeds one-third, several staff officers will die. Even for positions such as chief of staff and deputy chief of staff, there will be no substantial loss in strength.

The Locust Army lacks grassroots troops, not officers.

At this moment, a staff officer from the Intelligence Section quickly entered and handed Yamamoto a report.

"What report?"

Yoshio Shinozuka asked.

At this time, the information sent urgently by the staff must be important information.

"According to the investigation."

Yamamoto Kazuki was silent for a while before answering:
"The father of Niu Wanlin, who attacked the chief of staff and deputy chief of staff in June, was a member of the Tubal Road underground party and was killed by the imperial army six months ago."

"Moreover, after the attack, his family of five, who were hiding near Ping County, also disappeared."

"That is to say."

The corner of Yoshio Shinozuka's mouth twitched:
"The attack in June was not an accident, but was deliberately planned by Tubalu."

"Correct!"

Yamamoto nodded.

"But why?"

But this investigation still did not explain Yoshio Shinozuka's doubts.

Tubal Road spent huge power three times in a row. The first time may not be counted, but the next two times, they both spent huge manpower and material resources to attack the Chief of Staff and Deputy Chief of Staff of the First Army.

What is the purpose?

Having fought against the Eighth Route Army for so long, Yoshio Shinozuka knew very well that this group of people was very smart.

"It's not clear yet."

Yamamoto was silent for a while again before continuing:
"However, I suggest that the security forces of the new chief of staff and deputy chief of staff be strengthened."

"I see!"

Shinozuka Yoshio rubbed his forehead.

After strengthening the security force, will Tubal Road continue to attack the Chief of Staff of the First Army?
···
"Nine million silver dollars a month!"

"Hahaha···"

Headquarters.

The boss looked at the telegram sent by the 16th Regiment near Yangquan. The corners of his mouth were raised. He was reserved for a while, but finally couldn't help it and burst into wild laughter.

"Hahaha,"

The deputy general staff and division commander also laughed in the same way.

To this day, several people still feel a bit dreamy.

In May, although they received [-] tons of grain supported by Li Yunlong, the financial situation of the troops and base areas was still very poor, with money everywhere and constraints everywhere.

I want to buy a few pieces of film, but I can’t afford it.

But it's only been more than a month.

Suddenly, there are nine million silver dollars every month, which is still the financial strength of cash.

Not only does the base area have no financial worries, it even has enough surplus to vigorously develop the base area economy, purchase machinery and equipment, import various materials, and attract talents and technology.

"So, do you agree to the application of the Jinan base area to increase investment in silver dollars in the market, use large doses of strong medicine to deal with currency chaos, and achieve anchoring of the value of the Jinan currency?"

the deputy general staff asked.

"can."

After thinking for a moment, the boss nodded in agreement.

According to the application from the southern Hebei base area.

Directly anchor the value of Hebei Nan coins with silver dollars and issue them one to one, that is, put [-] million silver dollars and [-] million Hebei coins into the market every month until the market recognizes that the Hebei Nan coins and silver dollars are one to ten. exchange ratio.

Four and a half million silver dollars per month is affordable with the current financial strength of the base.

The remaining [-] million per month is enough to cover other current base areas.

After all, there are [-] tons of grain, [-] sets of military uniforms, [-] pairs of military shoes, [-] first-aid kits, and [-] tons of other medicines supplied from the Taiyue base every month.

These supplies are enough to supply the entire Taihang, Taiyue, and Jinan base areas, and there is still some surplus.

Basically, most of the financial consumption has been wiped out.

If it doesn't work, kill a few more chiefs of staff of the Japanese First Army. Although the Japanese will definitely strengthen their defense after suffering three losses, but well, the new 120 mortars from the independent regiment are already online.

"Speak up."

At this time, the teacher spoke:

"Silver dollars are also currencies. If we issue them like this, will it cause a sharp depreciation?"

The teacher was a little worried.

At the current rate, it won't take long to kill two more waves of Japanese chiefs of staff, and the base area will invest [-] million silver dollars in the market every month.

This is almost over-issuance of currency every month, and silver dollars are not even recycled.

In fact, based on the productivity level of the base area, even including the [-] tons of grain and [-] square meters of timber produced by the Independent Regiment each month, the base area can only sustain currency circulation of [-] million silver dollars per month.

It is equivalent to issuing the amount of currency demanded by the market every month.

Bifufu and French currency are crazy.

"You can rest assured about that."

The deputy general staff replied with a smile.

Seeing that the division commander was still a little worried, the deputy general staff took out a silver dollar, threw it away with a jingle, and said:

"You have to know that this silver dollar is both currency and a commodity."

"Moreover, as a commodity, the value of this silver dollar is higher than as currency."

"Ok?"

The teacher didn't understand it all at once.

Militaryly, the division commander has a rich reserve of knowledge, but economically, the division commander has little.

"One hundred silver dollars can be exchanged for one thousand Jinan coins, one thousand kilograms of high-quality packaged white flour brought by Li Yunlong, and one thousand sixty-seven hundred kilograms of bulk white flour."

"In U.S. dollars, that's about twenty-five dollars."

The Deputy General Staff continued to explain:
"But you have to know that in the United States, a hundred silver dollars, our silver dollar with a silver content of [-]%, has an actual value that fluctuates between thirty-seven and forty dollars."

"This...hiss!"

Suddenly, the teacher took a breath of cold air.

In other words, as long as the silver dollars are transported from the base to the United States, excluding handling fees and freight, you can almost make a profit of about [-]% to [-]%!
Such huge profits.

Don't talk about the Japanese.

Even foreign businessmen would come in droves to transport a steady stream of silver dollars from the base area.

"Understood!"

The teacher immediately understood the meaning.

For the base area currently controlled by the army, not to mention [-] million silver dollars per month, even [-] million silver dollars per month is an over-issuance of currency, which completely exceeds the demand for currency in the base area.

Theoretically, the silver dollar in the base area will become less and less valuable.

But the Japanese, domestic merchants, and foreign merchants will continuously transport these silver coins abroad in exchange for higher profits.

In this way, even if they spend [-] million silver dollars every month, the silver dollar will not depreciate. It will even maintain a stable value because the silver dollars continue to flow out.

"Ha ha··"

“Thanks to America’s Silver Act!”

The division commander thought of the U.S. fiscal bill that caused the economy of the Republic of China to regress for three to five years, caused a large number of factories to go bankrupt, and forced the Republic of China to reform its currency and anchor the legal currency to the U.S. dollar.

Unexpectedly, one day, the base area would actually benefit from this bill.

The base area is responsible for issuing currency silver dollars, while the United States is responsible for recycling the silver dollars on the market and stabilizing the value of the base area silver dollars.

With the United States' largest economic aggregate in the world and the distance between the base area and the United States, at least [-] silver dollars will have to be put into the market before it will have an impact. By then, the strength of the base area will inevitably increase exponentially, and both agriculture and industry will develop explosively.

In this process, although the Japanese will also make profits, the base area will be much larger than the Japanese in terms of strength growth.

"This is a silver dollar war, and we have unlimited troops."

In the boss's laughter, his words were domineering.

"Hahaha··"

Amid laughter, the topic suddenly changed:
"Let the intelligence forces in Taiyuan, Jinzhong, and Yangquan keep an eye on the Japs' movements, especially the news about the new Chief of Staff of the Japs' First Army."

"I feel like nine million a month is still not enough."

"Yes!"

The Deputy General Staff made arrangements immediately.

···
"Yo Xi!"

at the same time.

Yangquan,

Another person is happy.

That is Lieutenant Ogami Satoshi.

"Well done to the Eighth Route Army!"

After receiving that his railway brigade captain, one of the biggest obstacles that prevented him from making a fortune, was killed by the Eighth Route Army, Ogami jumped for joy.

"So, is the new captain..."

Then, the male superior's mind started to move.

The railway brigade is special. It does not belong to the regular army. It is under the direct jurisdiction of the brigade headquarters and is classified as an engineer. The right to appoint the brigade captain also belongs to the brigade headquarters.

And last night, the Eighth Route Army not only killed his captain, but also the former commander and deputy commander of the [-]th Brigade.

The new brigade commander has taken office, and the brigade troops have suffered heavy losses. So, does he have a chance to become the captain of the railway brigade?
As long as he becomes the captain, then as long as he transports weapons, ammunition and medicine, embargoed materials, and transports some machinery and equipment, materials, etc. to Tubal Road, there will be no problem at all.

Don’t you have a lot of money?

···
Also that night.

Northern Bureau, Xinhua News Agency, printing factory.

"it is good!"

Looking at the new newspaper rotary printing press in front of him, Xu Lin, editor and printing technician, couldn't help but say "hello" a series of times.

He checked it and found that although it was not the latest foreign newspaper printing machine, the technology was very advanced and the printing quality and efficiency were much better than the one used in the original base area.

The quality of the newsprint and ink is also better.

Especially photo plate making equipment,
"When can it be installed?"

the newspaper editor asked.

"Just tonight."

Xu Lin looked at the English information that he came with and spoke in a serious tone.

"it is good."

The editor immediately said:

"We will try to print another batch of Xinhua News tomorrow. This time we will put both Japanese flags on them."

"Hey, I want to see how the little devil can quibble."

"Yes!"

Xu Lin immediately stood at attention and saluted.

Last time, in order to avoid waste, a special issue of the captured Westfield United flag was printed and published. Because of the poor quality of the photos, the actual publicity effect was not good. The Japanese even ridiculed the fakery in the newspaper but had to do it seriously.

This time the new machine arrives, let the Japanese take a good look at it.

Is it true?
···
"Tada-kun."

same day.

Also at night.

North review.

Inside the North China Front Army Command.

"Hi!"

Commander Tada Junzheng was holding the phone and kept lowering his head in response.

Opposite the microphone, it was General Hata Shunroku, the commander of the Republic of China Expeditionary Forces. Only his boss could make Tada Shun so honest.

"The alliance flag has been seized twice in a row. Not only the base camp, but also the Locusts are very dissatisfied."

"The base camp meeting has made a decision. If you cannot solve the security problem in North China within four months, find forces to support the Eighth Route Army and cut off the Eighth Route Army's foreign aid channels."

"So··"

Shunroku Hata emphasized his tone:

"The commander of the North China Front will be the former commander of the [-]th Army, Okamura Neiji."

In order to put enough pressure on Tada Jun, Shunroku Hata directly informed Tada Jun of the results of the base camp meeting in advance.

"Four months..."

Tada Jun smiled bitterly.

In four months, he was still confident that he would find forces to support the Eighth Route Army and cut off the Eighth Route Army's foreign aid channels.

When the [-]th Division sweeps through the Taiyue Mountains, nothing can be hidden.

But to solve the security problem in North China,
Is it possible?
Even if the foreign aid supplies on Tubal Road are cut off, the remaining Tubal Road will still be a big problem. Unless the strength of the North China Front is doubled, the public security problem will not be solved.

The military depot plan is far away.

"Hi!"

But Tada Shun could only lower his head and shout loudly.

After hanging up the phone, Tada Shun suddenly had a bitter look on his face, and his brows furrowed as Lao Gao - four months to solve the security problem, it would be better to just let him go.

"General."

On the side, Suzuki Hoji, who came to report the situation, suddenly said:
"I have a suggestion that can solve the current dilemma in North China."

"Tell me?"

Tada Shun answered casually.

"The fundamental task of the base camp for North China is not to solve the Tubal Road, but to establish a military depot plan to support war with war, and even provide funds and materials for the empire."

Suzuki Fanji immediately said:

"So, as long as we provide the empire with enough funds and materials, we can persuade the base camp to support you."

"Do you have a solution?"

Tada Jun glanced sideways at Suzuki Fanji.

That's true,

But without solving Tubal Road, how can North China be transformed into a military depot to provide military expenses and supplies for the Locust Army?
"Not long ago, I seized a batch of secretly transported silver coins from the train."

"This batch of silver coins are all newly minted, with a silver content of [-]%, and the number is [-]."

His subordinates reported six thousand, but Suzuki Fanji finally recovered two thousand, and only four thousand was withheld.

"This is the silver dollar transported to Beiping by Tuba Road and used to secretly purchase supplies."

"And a few days ago, Tuba Road in southern Hebei began to issue new Jinan coins, and put the same type of silver dollars into the market at a daily rate of [-] yuan."

"It shows that Tubal Road not only received a large amount of materials, but also received a large amount of funds."

With that said, Suzuki Fanji took out a bundle of silver coins and said:

"Militarily, it will be difficult for us to solve Tubal Road in a short time."

"Even if the external channels for supplies are cut off, Tubal Road may still have a large amount of supplies hoarded. Therefore, I suggest that in addition to launching a large-scale military attack on the Taiyue Mountains, we should focus on economic attacks on other base areas."

"As long as you get certain benefits and supplies, maybe the base camp will support you again."

"Yo Xi."

Tada Jun's eyes suddenly lit up.

Insufficient troops limited him from launching a raid on the Tubal Road base area.

But economic offensive does not require so many troops. As the commander who integrates the imperial military and political power in North China, he has the right to mobilize Japanese merchants, and can even be directly managed by the army.

　emmm, I have traveled out of cold areas by car, and the update will be stable tomorrow.
