It's easy to tell who Naomi Ueno caught. It's most likely Jiro Takei.
Xie Xuan still wanted to confirm from the side. He contacted Ouyang Hui first.
"Brother Ouyang, when will we have a dinner date?"
"I'm sorry, I'm really busy recently. I'll express my gratitude to the director after I finish this period of work."
Because of rescuing Ouyang Jie, he has already delayed his family's business.
Xie Xuan did his best for his father's affairs, but he also paid the price. Three thousand US dollars was definitely a huge fortune, and Xie Xuan might not be able to spend it all in the rest of his life.
He knew that Xie Xuan was only in it for money, and he still had some conscience, but after all, traitors and spies could socialize, but not have deep friendships.
Their relationship should have ended after rescuing Ouyang Jie.
Xie Xuan didn't say anything more. He called Ouyang Hui just to confirm that he had not been arrested.
Ouyang Hui had no problem, and he could basically confirm that Ueno Naomi had taken action against Takei Jiro.
In order to verify his speculation, Xie Xuan found a public phone and called Takei Co., Ltd. and said he wanted to find Jiro Takei.
Sure enough, the other party replied that Takei Jiro went to Qingdao.
Later, Xie Xuan went to No. 15 Baihua Lane, which was the meeting place between him and Gong Bingxin.
Baihua Lane is located on the north side of Fuchu Road, close to Guangfu Middle School, and has a large flow of people around it.
The most important thing is that to the south of Foch Road is Huajie.
If there are problems in the concession, you can cross Foch Road to Huajie.
As long as you cross the center line of Foch Road, the concession patrol will no longer pursue you.
At the same time, if something happens in the Chinese community, as long as you cross the center line of Foch Road, the police station and the Secret Service here generally don't dare to take action openly.
If you join here, you can attack if you advance, and you can defend if you retreat. If that doesn't work, you can even join at Foch Road.
Much of our party's underground work involves meetings in public places, such as on the road, in shopping malls, and on trams.
It would be safer to meet, exchange information, say a few words in a hurry and then separate immediately.
However, Xie Xuan and Gong Bing's situation is different. They have special status, and some things need to be discussed clearly in person.
Xie Xuan said: "Takei Jiro is probably secretly controlled by Naomi Ueno."
"Why secret control?"
"It may be that they are worried about the negative impact. After all, the Japanese are communists, and it would be shameful to speak out. In addition, it may be that they deliberately block the news to see if Takei Co., Ltd.'s goods will flow to northern Jiangsu."
"So, we can only stop purchasing equipment from Takei Co., Ltd. in the future?"
Xie Xuan said: "The equipment produced in Japan is naturally not as good as that in the United States and Germany. In the future, you can buy it from Ouyang Hui."
Gong Bing nodded: "Okay. No matter what the reason is, Ueno Naomi has suspended buying equipment from Takei Co., Ltd."
Xie Xuan asked: "Have the printing factory, quilt factory, paper factory, and cigarette factory been built at home?"
"In addition to the quilt factory and the printing factory, the paper factory and the cigarette factory are still preparing. The leaders asked me to bring you a message. With you as the God of Wealth in the New Fourth Army's Northern Jiangsu Command, the conditions of the army have skyrocketed. But you don't know that in the past Soldiers can only wear thin military uniforms in winter, but now, not only are they provided with cotton-padded clothes, but also shirts. In the past, soldiers could only pick up cigarettes on the battlefield, or smoke leaves as cigarettes. After the cigarette factory was built, The soldiers can also smoke cigarettes produced by themselves. Commander Cheng said that cigarettes are also military supplies and can also improve the combat effectiveness of the troops."
"We only built one production line last time. Let Ouyang Hui build a few more production lines next time. With so many people in our army, we have to produce hundreds of them a day, right?"
Gong Bing said: "Don't worry yet, paper mills and cigarette factories need to purchase and transport raw materials, and they also need to raise funds."
Xie Xuan muttered: "I'll find a way."
He could imagine the hardships in the base area,
"The chief said that your main task is to lurk, so you must pay attention to your own safety. As for the funds, they will find a way. If they are solved for you, wouldn't you become the logistics director of the Northern Jiangsu Command? "
"I don't dare to take the position of Minister of Discipline. If the army is really in trouble, why not just print money ourselves? Issuing currency is the fundamental way to solve the problem of funds. Our base area is so large and the population is tens of millions, so we can issue currency , drive out the legal currency and so on, and just print it yourself as much as you need. With a printing factory and a paper mill, it won't take much to set up a banknote printing factory. "
"Money printing factory? Can the people accept the money we print?"
"The legal currency has been depreciating year after year. Last year, one hundred legal currency could buy a cow, but now it can only buy a sheep. According to this trend, in a few years, you can only buy a chicken, or even an egg. As long as we can solve it People will definitely accept the issue of preserving the value of banknotes."
Gong Bing said excitedly: "This is a big deal. I will report it to my superiors. If your suggestion is feasible, it will solve a big problem. Do you know that now the National Government only gives the New Fourth Army 80,000 yuan in military pay per month, while other Kuomintang The army ranges from 200,000 to 300,000. The New Fourth Army has tens of thousands of people, but the Kuomintang army generally only has more than 10,000, or even a few thousand."
Xie Xuan alone built four factories in the base area. No, to be prepared, it should be six factories.
Three quilt factories, plus a printing factory, a paper factory, and a cigarette factory.
If he builds another banknote printing factory, he can almost solve the funding problem of the entire army, and even our party's funding problem by himself.
The radio station controlled by Gong Bing reported Xie Xuan's suggestions to the Jiangsu Provincial Party Committee, the Northern Jiangsu Headquarters and the cave dwelling on the same day.
At this time, our army did have an economic crisis. As the war of resistance continued, the scale of our army became larger and larger, and there were also local comrades, all of which needed money.
The cave dwellings are already holding a production mobilization meeting, calling for self-reliance.
"What are we going to do now? Should we starve to death? Disband? Or do it ourselves? No one agrees with starving to death, and no one agrees with disbanding, so we might as well do it ourselves!"
Caodong saw the telegram sent by Shen Pu, and then held a meeting with relevant comrades to study it.
It was finally decided to pilot the system in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region and the Anti-Japanese Base Area in Northern Jiangsu. If feasible, it would be fully promoted.
Soon, Xie Xuan received a new task: to study how to make our party's currency accepted by the people.
As for the equipment and workers of the banknote printing plant, they can be solved through the comrades of the Shenpu underground party.
This task was a bit heavy, and Xie Xuan had no idea after thinking about it for several days.
He is just an agent, not a god.
However, this problem must be solved, otherwise the printed banknotes will be waste paper.
