June 1, 1941, Wuchang, New First Army Headquarters
"This is what you want. There is a place inside. The paper, ink, and coding logic are all there." Li Yunlong smiled and pushed a small suitcase in front of Colonel Rudolph.
"General, the Air Marshal asked me to convey his respect to you. One hundred tons of gold will be delivered to the warehouse of Hans Bank later." Colonel Rudolf opened the suitcase and inspected it carefully and said in a somewhat trembling tone, The thing in the suitcase was none other than a set of ruble printing plates. Although he was not a professional, he could confirm that these were the printing plates and molds used by the other party to print those rubles with small denominations.
With these things, they can print as many rubles as they want. Not only can they be used before the war breaks out, but they can also be used after the war actually breaks out. At most, they can just serve as military coupons for the soldiers. Although the alliance is not a free economy, it can be used by ordinary people. The wisdom is infinite, and these rubles will eventually flow into the hands of the alliance.
In addition to these, the Air Marshal also contacted their Asian allies and proposed to use the rubles of bank reserves to exchange part of North Korean bank notes to stabilize their financial structure. Naturally, the Japanese hurriedly agreed to this, and all kinds of sordid changes between them and the alliance There are many ways to get these rubles to the alliance.
As for those North Korean bank notes, they will not be wasted. Although they cannot be arbitraged and shipped back to Europe, those things are actually what we commonly call "golden tickets" in China. They have a strong face value and are widely circulated. You can use them to arbitrage purchases in Europe. Some fixed assets and so on, and then the people Hans hates the most will take the money to North America, and then use it for the trade between Bald Eagle and Japan. You know, the trade between them is very close.
"These things have nothing to do with me from now on. I also hope that you will not leak relevant information. After all, my position is a bit delicate." Li Yunlong explained very seriously. This is also the request of his superiors. If there is a problem in the future, the first one to die The one who has no burial place is Li Yunlong.
"General, please rest assured. The only people with knowledge of this matter are me and the Air Marshal. We will not leave any written information now or in the future. These are all done by our Hans experts themselves." Colonel Rudolf said gently. Patting the suitcase, he said in the same serious tone that he naturally knew what Li Yunlong was worried about. The Air Force Marshal understood this very well. He also did not want what he had done to be exposed. If the Air Force didn't get the money through special channels, how could it get more money and power?
"How is the Air Marshal? I heard that he has developed a lot of oil fields in the North African enclosure." Li Yunlong said with a smile. The oil development in North Africa has been on the right track, and with the change of control of the Mediterranean, The oil shortage situation in Europe no longer exists, and even Hans and Noodle Country are still trying to expand people's oil consumption. It is said that Rome even plans to provide free heating diesel to people this winter to promote the use of diesel heating furnaces. Sale.
"It is true that a lot of oil fields have been built, but the consumption is also very large. The Imperial Air Force has been bombing the British colonies in North Africa." Colonel Rudolf was somewhat embarrassed. He couldn't explain it. You can't say that the Marshal fell to his left On the right hand, on the one hand, it helped the Air Force save military expenses, and on the other hand, it put a large amount of military expenses into its own pocket.
In fact, not only in the Pharaoh Kingdom, the Hans Air Force, which has let itself go, has relied on its low bombing cost to expand the war deeper into Africa, including Togo, the Gold Coast, Nigeria, Northern Rhodesia, Nyasaland, As long as the plane can fly, it is their target, and it does not necessarily have to bomb military and industrial infrastructure. If this is not possible, farmland, forests, etc. can also be bombed. In order to bomb these low-value targets, Hans military industry experts also A ten-kilogram incendiary bomb was specially designed, and a new sight was even designed, which was directly thrown manually by soldiers.
The British have been mobilizing heavy troops against the Pharaohs and along the Suez Canal, so that in those "rear area" areas, not to mention decent air defense forces, there are not even many armies. Now, face the Hans's Letting themselves go, they actually had no solution at all. On several occasions, the Hans Air Force even arrogantly sent paratroopers to clear out the British police and border posts on the ground. They were so arrogant that they had no choice but to continue to send paratroopers from Asia, especially Tianzhu. They mobilized troops and technical weapons to enrich the African region, so that their colonial army and British army in Tianzhu combined were less than 100,000 people, and their equipment was quite poor. Many colonial armies even had single-shot rifles.
Well, in fact, the colonial troops transferred from Tianzhu to Africa are similar, because the local military factories in Tianzhu cannot produce them at all, and even the weapons produced must be shipped to Europe and North Africa first to equip the British troops. Behind them were the white colonial troops waiting. These Tianzhu troops have no chance at all.
"It's really not easy for the Air Force Marshal." Li Yunlong felt the same, but he didn't agree in his heart. It's not like he had never seen the Air Force Marshal before. He had already figured out what kind of temper he had. He was really concerned about the country and the people. , but greed for money and lust is also true, pure dedication without asking for anything in return? He didn't believe it.
"General, I heard that Qijiang Special City has been able to mass-produce 'committee' rifles?" Major Rudolf changed the subject. After Li Yunlong moved to Wuhan, many people in the top government wanted to put their hands into Qijiang, even that person The famous second lady, but after Zhao Xiuqin tied the second lady to a torpedo boat and almost drowned in the Qijiang River, no one dared to take any chances in Qijiang County.
After repeated negotiations with northern Shaanxi, Qijiang County was upgraded to Qijiang Special City, with Xue Feng, the original mayor of Qijiang County, as the mayor. Originally, the mayor was planned to be Zhao Xiuqin, but considering that Zhao Xiuqin was pregnant, Comrade Hu Bicheng made concessions and only secured the position of deputy mayor for Zhao Xiuqin, while the position of security commander of Qijiang Special City was still reserved for the Eighth Route Army, but he could only be promoted from the original officers of the temporary 68th Division, so Ever since, Xie Baoqing, the former bandit leader of Heiyunzhai, unexpectedly took over as the security commander of Qijiang Special City. However, in the future, the Qijiang Security Command will definitely not have as strong a military force as before. Both Wuhan and northern Shaanxi agree with this. of.
