My client Li Yunlong

Chapter 161 Someone offered a reward of million silver dollars for the Chief of Staff of the First Army of the Imperial Army?

"Selling a large amount of first-generation Jinan coins?"

Ze County.

The Japanese quickly found Mr. Jia.

Landlord Jia.

The opening is to exchange 20,000 oceans at a time, which is 200,000 Jinan coins.

"Twenty thousand oceans?"

"Who?!"

Old Man Jia was very wary at first.

His entire quota is required at once.

Very suspicious,

The first-generation Jinan coins were directly exchanged for silver dollars in large quantities, usually by shady people, such as those who transported silver dollars to areas controlled by the Japanese or abroad.

It is normal for these people not to go to the bank to exchange money.

The Eighth Route Army severely cracked down on the smuggling of large quantities of silver coins to foreign countries or areas controlled by the Japanese.

"A big businessman from Guangdong Province."

The steward replied:

"He said that we can offer a 15% discount on the market price. If he has ideas, we can further discuss it."

"15% off..."

"Talk further."

Old Man Jia was moved.

Because of his role as a model, the Eighth Route Army gave him a five-point discount when he exchanged the first-generation Jinan coins for silver dollars.

At a 15% discount,

That's 20 percent profit.

If we talk about it again, maybe it can be 25% or even 30%.

Twenty thousand silver dollars, that is a profit of six thousand silver dollars.

"It's up to me to choose the negotiating position."

The profit of thirty years made Old Man Jia very excited and decided to take over the business.

After all, although the Eighth Route Army clamored to attack the Japanese-controlled areas and transport silver coins abroad on a large scale, causing capital outflows, it actually only stated verbally. So far, he has not seen a businessman caught for reselling silver coins abroad.

But his tone was still obviously wary.

"Also, tell him that the first batch cannot be 20,000 silver dollars."

"Five thousand at most."

Old Man Jia decided to test the water first with five thousand silver dollars.

"Yes, sir."

The housekeeper went to make arrangements immediately.

That afternoon, the collaboration was concluded.

After fierce bargaining, Mr. Jia purchased 50,000 new Hebei Nan coins from a businessman from Guangdong Province at a 10% discount.

The reason why it’s 10% off is

It's because the other party requires more than 100,000 to get a 15% discount.

But Old Man Jia was panicking.

The first time I was only willing to exchange 50,000 new Hebei Nan coins, I ended up sighing at a 10% discount price.

But even so, Old Man Jia was still in high spirits.

Because he personally checked each one, these 50,000 generation new Hebei Nan coins are all genuine coins.

···

"To build trust."

"Of the first batch of 50,000 first-generation Jinan coins, only 5,000 were counterfeit coins."

"Everything else is real money."

Shimen.

After the cooperation was reached, his subordinates immediately reported to Suzuki Fanji.

In order to build trust, or to paralyze Old Man Jia, most of the first batch of Ji'nan coins were genuine, with only one tenth being counterfeit.

This batch of counterfeit coins is well-made and very difficult to detect.

Even though Old Man Jia was an old money-grubber, he didn't notice the counterfeit coins hidden among the real coins.

"Yoshi."

Suzuki Fanji nodded and said hello.

···

"President."

Jinan base area.

Ze County.

Currently, the president of the bank in the southern Hebei base area is the head of economic warfare sent from the headquarters.

At this time, a clerk reported the latest situation to the president.

"That old man Jia."

The clerk said:

"Apply to us to exchange 50,000 Yinan coins."

"fifty thousand?"

"Moving so fast?"

The president was a little surprised.

In just a few days, Old Man Jia has already found the seller?

"According to the tip, the person who sold the Jinan coins to Mr. Jia was a businessman from Guangdong Province. This person has a Japanese background."

"It should be Old Man Jia who was contacted by the Japs."

The officer analyzed.

With the strengthening of the intelligence power of the headquarters, the intelligence power of the army has also been greatly improved. The Japanese businessman who was in contact with Old Man Jia was immediately investigated.

"Guess so."

The president smiled and continued to ask:

"How many counterfeit coins are there?"

The first batch only had 50,000 Jinan coins.

The Japanese will definitely not use a large amount of counterfeit coins. At most, some of the counterfeit coins will be mixed with a large number of genuine coins.

"One percent counterfeit coins."

The officer's tone was horrified, with a hint of fear:

"If we hadn't concentrated our efforts and studied the Japanese's counterfeit coins, we probably wouldn't have been able to tell."

"Genuine and counterfeit coins are mixed together, and coupled with traces of use, it is more difficult to distinguish than pure counterfeit coins."

Fortunately, the second generation of Jinan coins has been promoted, otherwise this batch of Japanese counterfeit coins may have caused heavy losses to the base area, or even completely destroyed the achievements of the Jinan base area for so long.

"give him."

"According to the agreed terms, all will be exchanged for him."

“Counterfeit currency is also exchanged.”

"By the way, say something nice to him to put his mind at ease."

The president waved his hand.

Since you have decided to play the long game to catch the big fish, naturally you have to give it some sweetness.

"What's the price of food?"

The president quickly changed the topic.

Compared with food, the problem of counterfeit currency is not a concern at all.

Even if he eats all the Japs' counterfeit coins, it won't cost him much money, he won't lose much, and he will only be the Chief of Staff of the First Army.

Food issues are the top priority.

"The price is still rising."

The clerk smiled bitterly:

"These dogs are more ruthless than we imagined."

"Nowadays, common cereal millet on the market has reached one Jinan yuan per catty, and our imported grains are even sold for as high as two yuan per catty outside."

"Moreover, the Japanese have also begun to cause sabotage and are maliciously raising food prices."

"It's more than doubled!"

The president sighed.

Compared with last month, food prices have doubled.

Although during this period of war, it was not unusual for food prices to double. People were even used to it, but it was very rare for prices to double in one month.

Although the increase in food prices is temporary.

Once the food is transported from the Taihang base area, food prices will be stabilized, but in the near future, the people will definitely suffer some hardships.

"Ask the headquarters, when will the food transportation be solved?"

The president frowned.

In terms of economic war, it’s okay to suffer some losses. The worst thing is that we will regain the position in the future, which will hardly affect ordinary people.

But on the food issue, the president was unwilling to compromise.

This will cause the common people to suffer.

Now that the army has sufficient food, there is no need to compromise on food.

We must always remember that we are the people's team, we must think about the people in everything, and do our best to protect the interests of the people.

The president agreed with the words of Zhao Gang, the political commissar of the Independent Regiment and the person in charge of material supply in Taiyue Base Area - always remember that the Eighth Route Army is the army of the common people.

···

at the same time. Sixteenth Regiment.

"interesting."

"Haha, I got another 1.5 million silver dollars!"

"..."

"It's not 1.5 million silver dollars, it's 1.5 million silver dollars every month."

Outside the training ground, the regiment leader sat on a rock to take a break after a busy day's work. Looking at the soldiers training in the distance, he couldn't help but think back to the previous bombardment of the Japanese chief of staff.

A distance of 120 kilometers, six heavy mortars, consuming rounds of shells, killed the Chief of Staff of the Japanese First Army, and received million silver dollars per month.

This battle is not just about successfully completing the mission.

It also gave the commander of the 120th Regiment a deep understanding of the power of the heavy mortar.

He was extremely excited when he thought that in the future, the 120th Regiment would also have heavy artillery.

I couldn't help but discuss it with the chief of staff of the regiment.

"Chief of Staff of the First Army?"

"One and a half million silver dollars?"

But what the commander and chief of staff of the 16th regiment did not notice was that at the edge of the training ground, only ten meters away from the two of them, an officer in charge of repairing the fence on the edge of the training ground moved his ears and looked at him. This way.

He was even muttering what the leader of the 16th regiment had just said.

Kill the Chief of Staff of the First Army and get 1.5 million silver dollars.

"idiot!"

Then, he silently spit out a Baga.

This person is clearly an intelligence agent sent by the Japanese.

The massive expansion of the army, the chaotic situation, and the large number of victims who are difficult to trace their origin also bring about a problem.

It is very easy for the Japanese to infiltrate spies.

In the army, strict control can be carried out to avoid intelligence leaks and damage losses caused by spies, but it cannot be 100% achieved.

What's more, other departments.

At this time, a Japanese spy infiltrated into the engineering unit of the 16th Regiment and became a grassroots soldier.

"One and a half million silver dollars per month."

The Japanese spy's eyes suddenly widened.

····

Also at the same time.

Taihang base area.

A secluded meadow near the headquarters.

This is one of the branches of the Independent Regiment Air Transport Battalion.

At this time, a biplane was parked on the lawn, and soldiers were carrying generations of silver coins into the cabin and then fixing them.

"no problem."

"You can take off."

Shen Sheng closed the engine compartment cover, stepped down the ladder, and gave a thumbs up after removing the ladder.

"Thanks for your hard work."

On the side, a headquarters staff officer responded with a smile.

Due to the lack of logistics personnel, Shen Sheng and several other pilots had to work part-time as logistics personnel themselves.

Fortunately, this group of them not only transported funds to Beiping underground party comrades, but also went to Beiping to transport five mechanical talents back.

"Haha, the quality of this aircraft is very good."

Shen Sheng said happily.

To be fair.

The performance indicators of the aircraft in front of me are not advanced.

The flight speed is low and the maneuverability is poor.

It has almost no diving ability and no combat capability at all.

But as a light transport aircraft, it is an extremely advanced aircraft.

Not a bad voyage.

It can transport 1.5 tons of cargo to a distance of 500 kilometers when fully loaded, and then return without refueling. Not to mention the time when it participated in the war, even now, few aircraft have such performance.

And it can take off on any non-paved grass ground.

Easy to master and simple to control.

as well as,

The failure rate is incredibly low.

So far, he has flown for nearly a hundred hours and has mastered the performance of this aircraft, but has not encountered any mechanical problems during this period.

No glitches at all.

The same goes for five other aircraft.

In nearly 100 hours of flight time, there was no mechanical failure.

The mean failure, even for the most minor mechanical failure, is greater than one hundred flight hours?

Shen Sheng knows very well how incredible reliability this is.

and also,

That, based on radio positioning and navigation equipment.

The biggest fear of airplanes is losing their way, but the easiest thing for airplanes is to lose their way. It is difficult to distinguish the position and direction in the sky, especially at night when they need to fly.

With this kind of navigation system based on ground radio signals, it means that they will hardly get lost.

This is so important!

Shen Sheng then climbed into the cabin and turned on the engine. When the propeller just started to rotate, an officer suddenly ran over quickly and said to Shen Sheng:

"Can you bring some newspapers to the comrades over there?"

As he spoke, he raised a stack of newspapers in his hand.

This stack of newspapers made Shen Sheng stunned.

The exquisite newsprint and pictures were as clear as photos, lifelike, almost the same as looking at photos directly, and clearer than some of the hardcover books he saw abroad.

How was this printed?

Is technology so good now?

"no problem."

Putting the newspaper into the cabin, Shen Sheng didn't ask any questions. He then pushed the accelerator, loaded tens of thousands of silver dollars, and flew the transport plane to Peiping.

···

"What technology is this?"

Headquarters.

Xinhua News Agency.

Located in the printing center on the ground floor.

Printing technician Xu Lin looked at the printing machine in front of him and the newspapers that were spitting out quickly one after another. He was shocked when he looked at the beautiful photos on the newspapers.

According to the manual, this is a relatively common newspaper rotary printing press, suitable for large-scale printing of newspapers.

but,

Such a printing press.

Although a little big.

All the equipment put together is much larger than a Japanese tank and cannot fit in a house.

But how is it possible to print 600,000 copies of newspapers every day?

There is another printing room, and the two combined can print 1.2 million newspapers every day.

1.2 million copies, enough to spread throughout the country.

What’s even more incredible is that the photo printed by this machine is almost as clear as the original photo.

Not to mention Japan, even the top printing technology in Europe and the United States cannot do it.

Who is the boss behind Li Yunlong?

"do not know."

Photographer Xia shook his head.

He also knows something about printing technology.

The printing press in front of him also shocked him greatly.

But Lao Xia knows that no matter what technology this machine uses, it means that from today on,

"However, I know that from today on, the Japanese will be in big trouble."

Lao Xia exhaled loudly.

The newspaper in front of me has pictures as sharp as photos.

The texture is also a bit poorer and will become blurry after being used for a long time.

But it doesn't matter, newspapers don't need to be stored for a long time.

Didn’t the Japanese use blurry photos and false information to tell the news of their own Xinhua Newspaper?

Now that this newspaper has come out, he wants to see how the Japanese can make excuses.

···

"General."

Taiyuan.

Inside the First Army Headquarters, Kazuki Yamamoto quickly walked into Yoshio Shinozuka's office and reported the latest information.

"Nani?"

"Someone is offering a reward of 1.5 million silver dollars for the Chief of Staff of the Imperial Army's First Army?"

Yoshio Shinozuka's eyes suddenly widened.

"It's not 1.5 million silver dollars."

"It's 1.5 million silver dollars per month."

Yamamoto emphasized!
