After Zuozhong introduced the job changes of Fuichiro Hayashi and Ryosuke Hase, he stretched out his hand toward the chair and motioned for Gucci to sit down, and then said.
"There's something that I can't say publicly just now. Lao Gu, I want you to go to the mountain city and find a more private place to establish a secret base.
The criteria for selecting a site are very simple, as long as the space can accommodate a hundred people, there is water around, and it is convenient for air defense operations.
I issued a certificate to you in the name of the Ministry of the Interior, requesting the local government to fully cooperate. The external reason is to establish a reformatory. "
After saying that, he took out another document and put it on the table and gently pushed it out. The vermilion official seal of the Ministry of Internal Affairs on it was extremely conspicuous.
Official documents like this have always been standard for secret missions. Who knows that the Ministry of Internal Affairs has a strong background and many mountains, and this kind of wool will not be white or white.
Go 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 southwest region where transportation is inconvenient, the terrain is rugged, and the folk customs are strong.
This is very uneconomical. Just infrastructure construction will cost a lot of money, and the Secret Service's funds cannot afford such a squandering.
Could it be that the department is setting up a training camp to train intelligence personnel to encircle and suppress the remaining underground parties in the southwest, Gu Qi thought thoughtfully.
"Okay, stop thinking about it."
Zuo Zhong, who was 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 succeeds, it will at least help Brother You gain a general star. This is no exaggeration. "
Gu Qi's breathing became a little heavier when he heard this. From a school officer to a general officer, there is a hurdle that many outstanding warriors on the battlefield have not been able to cross.
So what kind of mission was it? His heart was itching like a cat scratching him. He immediately stood up and gave a military salute and answered.
"Yes, I'll leave tomorrow."
"Yeah, good place."
Zuo Chong smiled when he saw Lao Gu looking like he was getting blood. Who doesn't love fame and wealth, especially those who work in the government.
Are the elites of the party and state working as officials with a salary of only a few dozen yuan really just to make decisions for the people? Don't be ridiculous, they are only interested in profit.
He is not afraid of his subordinates' ambitions. It is human nature to want to make progress. As long as the mission goes well, he is willing to give them the opportunity to rise to the top.
Suddenly, Zuo Zhong seemed to have thought of something and spoke again: "By the way, besides that, you can find Ma Tianchang from the Cao Gang.
During the smuggling case, this guy had a tendency to stick his tail up, so I gave him a good beating to make him understand who his master was.
By the way, order him to find a group of skilled carvers. The skills must be good, and you should not talk about this matter with others. "
"Okay, Deputy Director."
Gu Qi didn't pay attention after hearing this. He felt that Zuo Zhong had some private work that needed to be handled by the engraver. After chatting for a few words, he hurriedly left.
Mountain cities are no better than Jinling and Shanghai. The local public security is chaotic, and the gangs, bandits, bandits, and landlord armed forces are intertwined.
If there weren't enough guards, Brother Muddy Waters Robe would probably light him up as soon as he left the city. He was going to pick some action experts to go with him.
As for danger, no matter how dangerous it is, you have to go. In a person's life, there are only a few opportunities to reach the sky in one step, and they must be firmly grasped.
If God cannot take it, you must suffer the consequences.
If you fail to do so at the right time, you will suffer the consequences.
After working in intelligence work for so long, Gu Qi knows this truth. The official career has always been about retreating if you don't advance, and there is no room for too much hesitation.
Looking at his back, Zuo Zhong recalled in his mind the second message sent by Hayashi Fuichiro, a piece of information about Japanese yen banknotes.
When talking about Japanese banknotes, we need to start with the Yamada feather book issued in the Yamada area in 1600 with the help of shrine credit.
Because this kind of local currency required the approval of the shogunate, it was also called a feudal currency. By the Meiji Restoration period, there were more than 200 types.
Hanzha usually uses handmade Japanese paper as banknote paper. The processing method is unique, and the paper produced is of high quality and difficult to be copied.
By using natural tuff as a paper dye, we can produce the famous Salt Goose Paper with unique color and unique texture.
The paper craftsmanship is extremely complex.
Yield is very low.
In addition, the Japanese also learned to divide labor and cooperate without any teacher, dividing the banknote printing plate into several pieces and handing them over to multiple craftsmen for production.
Since these craftsmen come from different families and are in a competitive relationship, they will not secretly copy the originals.
And every few years, the shogunate will revise the shogunate, and old banknotes are burned and destroyed regularly every year to avoid counterfeit banknotes.
Due to proper distribution management and control, strong supervision of the reserve system, and effective anti-counterfeiting methods, Fanzha has been in circulation for more than 270 years.
In 1871, the Japanese government issued a unified currency, the yen. With the help of the printing experience of feudal lords, anti-counterfeiting measures were quite complete.
For example, when special bark pulp is added to the production of famous salt goose bark paper, natural pigments will dye the banknote paper into a unique light yellow color.
The greater the face value,
The darker the color.
This gives the Japanese yen a sense of vicissitude that other currencies do not have. Many people have tried to imitate it, but of course they have failed.
Only a few people in Japan know what tree this mysterious bark pulp comes from, and the specific ratio is a top secret.
Before Tokyo Station was destroyed, people were sent many times to inquire about relevant information, but nothing was found, and the Japanese intelligence agency almost targeted it.
As for Hayashi Fuichiro's information, it was clearly stated that the bark pulp came from Mitsuba bark, and I don't know where he got the information.
However, the Mint of Japan is a first-level subordinate agency of the Ministry of Finance, so this guy has a way to understand this information.
It's officialdom,
I understand everything.
It is said to be confidential, but not everyone will abide by the confidentiality rules, especially the superiors, and the stubborn Japanese are no exception.
In short, Zuo Zhong checked the information and found that the Mitsuba tree is a plant of the Daphne family, which is said to be endemic to Japan and not distributed elsewhere.
This was a bit nonsense. He didn't believe that there were any unique species on those small islands. There must be similar plants in the Republic of China.
That's why he asked Gu Qi to find a secluded place in the mountain city to try to see if he could "copy" the Japanese yen to supplement funds.
Just knowing the composition of banknote paper does not mean that you can successfully copy it. Watermarks, inks, letterpress printing machines, and serial numbers are all problems.
Anything goes wrong,
Then all previous efforts will be wasted.
Zuo Zhong couldn't help but think of a line in a certain movie in Hong Kong City in later generations - you first get the acid-free paper, and I'll get the color-changing ink.
The painter teacher will teach you how to copy banknotes step by step. Watermarks are easy to solve. Just sandwich the watermarked paper between two pieces of salty goose leather paper.
There are no shortcuts to ink. You can only try again and again. If it doesn't work a hundred times, try it a thousand times. If it doesn't work a thousand times, try it ten thousand times.
The letterpress printing press is the simplest. No matter what, the government is still a state power and can legally purchase printing presses from Europe and the United States.
The rare thing is the serial number. Firstly, there must be no duplicate numbers. Secondly, the number written must conform to the rules of the serial number of Japanese yen banknotes.
This work required professional analysts and mathematicians to work together, and it also required engineers to make complex modifications to the printing press.
copy yen,
It's really not easy.
Zuo Zhong was a little hesitant, but thinking about the benefits of success, he immediately decided to continue this work, even if the hope was slim.
Modern wars are all about money. If it can disrupt the Japanese financial order, it will be worth the cost and time.
Originally, printing counterfeit currency of enemy countries was one of the common economic methods used in war. If the secret service printed a large amount of Japanese yen, it would flow into the market.
As a result, the yen can quickly depreciate, the lives of ordinary Japanese will become poor, and the army will naturally have little combat effectiveness.
Without military pay or pensions, one can be fooled for a while, but not for a lifetime. No matter how brainwashed the Bushido spirit is, it cannot be used as food.
Secondly, as long as they are willing to spend money, they may be able to win a battle without bloodshed. He does not believe that the Japanese do not love money.
How much is a division commander worth?
Is 1 million enough?
If it's not enough, add more.
Anyway, I printed it myself.
The more Zuo Zhong thought about it, the more he felt that copying the Japanese yen was a clever idea, so he simply sat down in front of his desk and started writing a report.
The content is to apply to the bureau headquarters, and the Secret Service will be responsible for carrying out the task of counterfeiting Japanese yen, and at the same time, requesting the support of the cheap teacher.
Dai Chunfeng entered the palace for the second time in Gangcheng and Chang'an. He was in a low mood and was easily suspicious. This matter must not be hidden from him.
At the same time, if you just rely on Ma Tianchang to find people, you will have to wait until the year of the monkey to crack the yen, and you must bring in professionals to speed up the process.
A skilled craftsman,
painter,
sculptor,
ink expert,
Mathematician.
These people are needed both left and right. Unlike a war where bayonets see 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 lose his pants, to disagree. Then again, Dai Chunfeng may have had this idea a long time ago.
Otherwise, why would Tokyo Station take the risk to find information about the Japanese yen? They couldn't just be looking for trouble, there was something wrong with it.
Zuo Chong wrote thousands of words eloquently. After finishing writing, he put the report into his briefcase and drove to the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics.
The result was as he expected. Lao Dai immediately approved the operation after reading the report, and even gave the operation a good codename himself.
——Operation Parchment.
Following the canned plan, the Secret Service once again launched a secret plan against the Japanese, both of which were equally important.
No matter which one succeeds, it can deal a heavy blow to the Japanese invaders and break the other side's extravagant hope of ending the war in three months.
Zuo Zhong held Dai Chunfeng's instructions, stood in the cold wind of Jinling, tightened his collar, bent down and got into the car and quickly disappeared on the street.
The lively Jinling City is as prosperous as ever, but no one knows that a disaster is coming, and the bloody light gradually shrouds the sky over the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties.
wind sound,
It seems to be getting bigger,
Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, I just finished writing, the war of resistance will begin tomorrow.
