"Just a small businessman, more than two kilometers away from the headquarters!"

"It should be fine."

After leaving the water supply company, the Japanese team leader once again touched the stack of new Hebei Nan coins on his waist.

He counted it secretly and found it was about ten thousand yuan.

That’s a lot of money!

Recently, the new Hebei Nan dollar has appreciated again.

According to accurate information, in Jinan, one hundred new Jinan coins can be exchanged for twelve silver dollars.

The number of silver dollars sold every day has also reached 500,000.

Contrary to everyone's expectations, Tubalu once again increased the value of the new Hebei Nan dollar, becoming the only currency in the entire Republic of China and even the entire world that was still appreciating.

In other words, the stack of new Hebei Nan coins in his arms is equivalent to 1,200 oceans!
Even if you exchange it privately, it is equivalent to four hundred US dollars.

It’s enough for him to pay for a year and a half!
Why did he join the army?
For the emperor?

For the Japanese Empire?
Shit!

Not for that little military pay!
And this kind of locust army accounts for the majority, the vast majority.

As for suicide on the battlefield?

Who the hell is willing to commit suicide?
But once you surrender and are captured by the enemy, it will be a huge shame, which will affect your family members and make your family members back home suffer bullying.

Secondly,

If you become a prisoner, you will be abused by the enemy.

Better to commit suicide!

"Just a small businessman, more than two kilometers away from the headquarters!"

"It's definitely fine."

After touching a stack of money, the Japanese team leader became more and more certain.

He just took the opportunity to make some money, what happened?
The Eighth Route Army wanted to kill the Chief of Staff, but the assassination was successful just because of something he did?
How can there be such a coincidence in the world!
Why, the superiors are so generous, and he, a small captain, not only has to fight the enemy with his head up, but he can also only earn a meager military salary.

Why?
This time, if he had the chance, he would also make some money.

···
"strangeness!"

at the same time.

Shimen.

Suzuki Fanji looked at the intelligence information in front of him and raised his eyebrows.

Three weeks ago, Tuba Road appreciated the new Hebei Nan currency and raised the exchange price for silver dollars. The original 100 new Hebei Nan dollars were exchanged for 10 silver dollars, and the original 100 new Hebei Nan dollars were exchanged for 11 silver dollars.

He still didn't understand Tubalu's purpose of doing this.

The value of the new Jinan coins bound to silver coins is obviously very stable. Not to mention the Jinan area, Shimen, and even Beiping have begun to circulate on a large scale.

The locust army acquiesced.

Almost no one even uses the joint currency issued by the Locust Army itself.

And the day before yesterday.

Tuba Road once again increased the exchange price of new Hebei Nan coins.

The original exchange rate of 100 new Hebei Nan coins for 11 silver dollars was increased to 100 new Hebei Nan coins for 12 silver dollars.

As soon as the news came out, Suzuki Fanji was confused again.

He doesn't understand.

What is the purpose of Tubalu doing this?
what is the benefit?
The only thing he could think of was to promote the circulation of new Hebei-nan coins, which was really effective. Now, let alone the Beijing Review, even the Shanghai Stock Exchange has begun to see new Hebei-nan coins.

There are also side effects.

It will accelerate the outflow of silver dollars!
The issue is.

The purpose of the new Jinan currency anchored by the silver dollar must be to try every means to retain the silver dollar, but why compile the silver dollar?
It doesn’t make sense!

In order to promote the circulation speed of the new Hebei Nan coins, it is not necessary at all!

With the economic development of the southern Hebei region, even the empire has joined in spreading the new southern Hebei currency. There is no need to do this at all, and the gain outweighs the loss.

"strangeness!"

Suzuki Fanji, who was puzzled, stopped thinking about it in depth.

No need!
This matter, no matter what the purpose of the Eighth Route Army is, it is a good thing for him!
He received more silver dollars.

The empire sold these silver coins to the United States and gained more benefits.

Get more in one fell swoop.

As for the recent development and growth of Tubal Road.

When the empire's domestic strategic direction is oriented, and when the southward faction and the conservatives reach a strategic agreement on the future, the empire will concentrate all its efforts on the Tubal Road entrenched in North China.

Concentrate an army of 100,000 or even 200,000 people.

Concentrate superior air combat power and ground armor combat power, and then destroy it in one fell swoop.

By the time,
Facing the absolutely superior Locust Army, no matter how strong the Tubal Road is, it is impossible to resist.

The rest is not important at all!
Get huge benefits and glory.

Millions of dollars in revenue,
The soon-to-be-promoted major general,
Emperor Tian Locust personally conferred the title.

Suzuki Fanji was completely stunned and lost his previous keen observation and thinking. At this moment, he even lost his vigilance towards this silver dollar.

He used to think,
Is there a conspiracy behind it?

But now, I can only think that in the face of absolute strength, no matter what conspiracy is of no avail.

···
"In the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and tricks are of no avail."

Walking out of the North China Front Army Staff Headquarters, recalling the words of Chief of Staff Watanabe, Ishihara smiled and sighed.

He lowered his head,

He glanced at the stack of new Jinan coins in his hand.

The eyes are complicated.

Judging from the current situation, Tubal Road cannot have the strength to threaten the Locust Army no matter what.

No matter how advanced the weapons obtained each month are, the size of only one regiment, or one brigade, is destined to only gain a local advantage over the Locust Army.

When quantity has an absolute advantage, quality is not so important.

This can be proven by a lot of information.

The empire has been planning and operating the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Strategy for decades, with a vast and in-depth layout. It deployed a large number of latent spies in the Republic of China. These people went deep into the Republic of China and were extremely concealable.

Some people even lived in the Republic of China for decades.

As Tubalu's strength increased, the empire also transferred some intelligence personnel to the Eighth Route's sphere of influence and obtained a large amount of intelligence.

Just because of the short time, the Eighth Route Army's counter-espionage methods are really powerful. The intelligence they have obtained so far is not much, and there is a lack of core intelligence.

For example, the purpose of this silver dollar depreciation.

And the way and means he planned to attack Chief of Staff Watanabe.

Not even the most basic information is available.

However, even if there is a lack of information, Ishihara Wanji always has a feeling in his heart.

In the face of absolute strength, it is true that all conspiracies and tricks are of no avail.

Just like the empire and the United States, no matter how the empire plans and layouts, it is impossible to defeat the United States by itself.

The strength gap between the two sides is too big!

The empire does not have the means to threaten the core industrial facilities and economic cities on the West Coast of the United States.

Even if all the current U.S. naval forces in the Pacific are destroyed, it will not prevent the balance of power between the two sides from tilting.

This is why he firmly supports conservatives.

Therefore, Ishihara Wanji always had an idea in his heart.

in the end,

Who is the party with absolute strength?
A mysterious force that can quietly transport millions, or even tens of millions, of various materials to the Taiyue Mountains, and can produce advanced weapons that the empire cannot even imagine.

Is it possible to be stronger than the Empire?
Much stronger?
Is the Empire actually the clown?

But ideas are just ideas, and Ishihara Kanji lacks evidence to prove his ideas.

He could only bury it deeply in his heart.

"Eight million dollars!"

Ishihara Wanji changed his mind and thought of a piece of information Watanabe gave him.
He actually doesn't get along well with Watanabe.

But the two have a common friend, Okamura Neji, so their relationship is okay on the surface.

through intelligence data.

he knows.

From late August to late September now, that is, during the Hundred Regiments War, the North China Front made a total of eight million US dollars in profits through trade directly controlled by the military, silver dollar transactions, and other means.

It's profit.

rather than income.

In fact, the industrial and industrial equipment obtained this month in the Jinan area controlled by the Eighth Route Army is only about US$1.3 million based on international market prices.

And most of them are old machines and equipment.

low efficiency,

The technical level is low.

Compared with the benefits obtained by the empire, they are simply not worth mentioning.

No matter where you look, the advantage lies with the Empire.

but!
Ishihara Wanji always has a doubt.

why?
Why did the Eighth Route Army import these useless, or in other words, machines and equipment of little use?

Even if the empire is not destroyed, given the technical level of these machines and equipment and the supply of raw materials in their base areas, it is impossible to complete the establishment of a set of functional industrial equipment within ten years.

and.

Even stranger.

Most of the equipment is actually placed in the plain terrain of southern Hebei.

Almost right under the eyes of the empire.

indeed!

At present, the empire does not have the strength to attack the Taiyue Mountains and Taihang Mountains.

Firstly, it is difficult to assemble troops. Secondly, the Eighth Route Army in these two base areas is very strong and has sufficient reserve forces.

but··
In the southern Hebei region, there is endless flat terrain.

The road is relatively smooth.

As long as the North China Front Army is willing to give up part of the occupied area, it can gather a division of troops at any time, rush in here, destroy the machinery and equipment here, and burn down the development of the Eighth Route Army in the past few months.

and so.

What did the Eighth Route Army think?

Ishihara Wan'er instinctively felt something was wrong, but couldn't figure it out.

···
“Where are the industrial statistics?”

"Already done!"

at the same time.

At the headquarters, the Deputy General Staff received the statistical data handed over by a clerk:

"In the southern Hebei region, the production line of the new Type 40 submachine gun has completed all stages from mining, raw material smelting, to finished product manufacturing."

"However, due to limited talent, lack of equipment, poor quality, and energy supply, it is currently unable to operate normally and can only be produced manually in very small quantities."

Spending tens of millions of silver dollars will eventually pay off.

"it is good!"

The deputy general staff was overjoyed.

Now that the fight has started, the problem is not big.

"The next step is to expand the scale and cultivate talents."

“Actually putting it into production can be put aside.”

The deputy general staff warned.

It is almost impossible to build an industrial system from raw materials mining, primary processing, deep processing to actual industrial finished products by yourself.

No amount of money will do.

But...

Those two printing presses, which are 50 years advanced in the world, are not theoretically accessible to the army.

"Has the independent regiment's defense been arranged?"

the deputy general staff asked.

They have separate regiments.

"It's all arranged."

"Independent regiments are stationed wherever industrial equipment is located!"

The clerk replied.

"very good."

The deputy general staff nodded with satisfaction. (End of chapter)
