Chapter 544: Counterfeit Banknotes and Looting

HiSili Chess Club.

At the agreed time, Chen Miao rushed to the chess club, went upstairs, came to the door of the room, took off his gloves, and reached out to knock on the door frame.

"Please come in."

It was Xililongfu's voice. Chen Miao opened the door and walked in. He saw Xililongfu wearing a suit and tie sitting up on the couch.

"Mr. Fang is very on time, please sit down." Sililongfu made a "please" gesture while making tea.

Chen Miao walked over, took off his leather shoes, got on the couch, sat down, took off his hat and sunglasses, and placed it on the coffee table. Of course, the sitting posture was a little unruly.

He doesn't like the Japanese sitting method and can't learn it.

"Mr. Xili, don't call me Mr. Fang in the future. I'm afraid it will be bad to hear some people's ears." Chen Miao said solemnly.

"What should I call it, Comrade 033?"

"This is even worse, just call it Mr. Third." Chen Miao said with a clever inspiration.

"Mr. Third, this is quite interesting." Sirilongfu smiled, reached out to pick up a cup of tea and handed it over, "Please have tea."

"Thank you." Chen Miao politely reached out and took it over. Instead of drinking it immediately, he put it on the coffee table. "Mr. Xili, what important thing is there to ask me out today?"

"In the near future, Tokyo will send a congratulatory mission to China, including former Prime Minister Nobuyoshi Abe, Speaker of the House of Representatives Raisu Matsuhei, Speaker of the House of Representatives Matsusu Oyama and others. This mission is very high in size and will meet with Wang in Nanjing."

"Will the Japanese government recognize Wang's new government?"

"As far as I know, it won't be there for the time being." Xilin Longfu said.

"Haha..." Chen Miao smiled. This was very interesting. Japan instigated the Wang family to establish a new government, but it itself did not recognize the legitimacy of this regime.

This is a double-faced game.

It is obvious that it is just a fool to Wang, but unfortunately Wang was blinded by power, which is really embarrassing.

"They haven't given up on Chongqing's inducement?"

"Well, to be precise, they want the Wang family and Jiang family to merge again to form a puppet government under the control of the Japanese government." Sirilongfu said.

"I'm afraid the war madmen in the Japanese Army won't agree, right?" Chen Miao sneered.

"Yes, there are indeed many generals in the army who oppose negotiations with Chongqing. They want to completely eliminate this regime and achieve the goal of comprehensively occupying and controlling China."

"Who is the prevailing right now?"

"No one can convince anyone." Sirilongfu said.

"For us, the situation is not at its worst." Chen Miao nodded.

"But Japan's domestic economy has reached the verge of collapse, and all resources are used to expand military and prepare for war. This year, they will expand twenty divisions on the basis of the existing ones, which is simply crazy." Siri Ryufu's eyes turned red. After all, Japan is his motherland.

"Maybe they're not crazy?"

"..." Sirilongfu was silent.

"The Jiaozi plan has begun. The first batch of fake fiat currencies have been put into North China. After trial, the effect is pretty good. This time they are planning to put them in Shanghai."

Normal people understand the harm of counterfeit currency, but in this era of chaos in the currency system, there are too many popular banknotes on the market, and it is difficult to achieve standardized trials. The exchange rate of various currencies is exchanged one price per day, which is very chaotic, and there are many counterfeit currency that are originally popular in the market.

Once the number of counterfeit coins in the market increases and circulation is opened, the currency will inevitably depreciate and trigger a series of chain reactions.

Once the economy has problems, the consequences will be terrible.

"What will they do?"

"For such a thing, the Japanese official will definitely not be able to come forward. It is basically left to the Black Dragon Association to be responsible. In Shanghai, it is mainly Xuanyang Society." Sililongfu said.

"A small amount of fake fiat currency enters the market and will not cause any waves. Only when the amount is huge will it have an effect. They will never take a large amount of fiat currency to deposit in the bank, can the bank recognize it?" Chen Miao asked.

Sirilongfu nodded.

"They tried it, and most banks couldn't recognize it, but when someone found out, they couldn't pursue it, because these people had already taken away real money and silver through the means of withdrawing from other places." Sirilongfu said.

"Once such a thing is reported in the banking system, everyone will be alert."

"No, because the number is not large, the bank itself is a scandal. If this is spread, it will affect the bank's credibility. Therefore, banks that have suffered losses basically promote it to the public and quietly admit it. They are only more careful when collecting and storing large deposits." Sililongfu.

"How much did they get in North China?" Chen Miao asked with interest. This was a way of plundering that could not be seen.

"I don't know the specific number, it should be tens of millions."

Chen Miao took a breath.

Although the fiat currency has depreciated significantly now, it can be regarded as a relatively stable currency. Tens of millions of fiat currency are such a huge fortune.

Just like that, the Japanese used a pile of paper and ink to get rid of it?

"They probably won't keep this money in their own hands, right?"

"Of course, the money was quickly exchanged for various resources and materials by them, and some even went to places controlled by the Chongqing government to purchase grain, cotton and other materials on a large scale. This is part of the proposed war to support the war." Sililongfu explained.

Chen Miao took a breath of cold air.

"Mr. San, do you understand the horror of this Jiaozi plan now?" said Sirilongfu.

Chen Miao nodded. If this plan is really implemented and succeeded, it will not only have a huge impact on the domestic economy but also on the financial order, but it will indirectly affect the direction of the war.

Isn’t modern warfare just about resources and industrial strength?

"In addition, there is opium. The biggest income of the Black Dragon will be opium. Do you know how much money can they make in a month by smuggling opium into China?"

"Although I don't know, it should be an astronomical figure."

"Conservatively estimated that an average of 100 million yen per month!"

Chen Miao was stunned. How much is 100 million yen? You should know how much tax the National Government had in a year before the War of Resistance Against Japan? Just opium and drugs that harm people were born with such high profits, not counting the opium tax collected.

All this money was converted into resources for Japan to expand its military and prepare for war, and it was finally used to invade China and enslave the Chinese. This is really a great irony.

The bloody money earned from the Chinese was finally used to invade China and kill the Chinese. This is the cruelest thing in the world.

"Mr. Xili, what should we do?" Chen Miao browed deeply. This was not his task, but as a Chinese, he had the responsibility and obligation to prevent this terrible thing from happening.

"I don't know, I can only tell you these situations. As for how you do it, I don't know." Sirilongfu shook his head.

"I want to know when will they implement such a plan in Shanghai?" Chen Miao asked.

"I don't know either, but you can pay attention to the situation of some banks. If it is a relatively large amount of fiat currency, then you should be alert." Sirilongfu said.

"I will pay attention, thank you for your reminder." Chen Miao said.

"Also, you killed Itomori, right?" Shiri Ryuu asked with a smile.

"He died of a dirty disease and had nothing to do with me." Chen Miao denied it. Although it didn't matter if he admitted it, why should he admit it?

"Whether you recognize it or not, you did this thing really beautifully," said Ryuu Shiri. "Itomori is a currency expert at the Japanese Central Bank. He came to Shanghai to directly create more counterfeit coins in Shanghai, but unexpectedly, before he could start manufacturing counterfeit coins, he would have his life first."

"Oh, what's going on with Professor Lan Yu Hailan?"

"I don't know much about the specifics. It should be that Lan Yuhai had participated in the production of fiat currency master versions. Even now, the fiat currency master versions printed by the National Government of Denaro Company have his own versions. The fiat currency of your country is limited to the printing technology of the country and can only be printed. The yuan tickets are handed over to foreign companies for printing, but the master version is not entirely completed by foreign companies, because this is your core secret. The fiat currency also needs to be printed with special codes and president's seals to take effect. Professor Lan has the nickname of "ghost hand" in the carving world. I guess, in addition to engraving the master version, he also participated in the production of president's seals." Sililongfu said.

"What do you mean is that Professor Lan can not only make fiat currency master versions, but also imitate the president's seal?"

"Yes, even if the money is not used as a seal made by him, it is not difficult to imitate one with his ability, and it is difficult for people to see it." Sirilongfu said.

"So, just controlling Professor Lan can destroy most of their plans?"

"They stopped their actions in North China. On the one hand, they felt that they could not do too much at once and attracted the attention of all parties. On the other hand, they should be that their counterfeit coins were not perfect enough, otherwise they would not be discovered soon afterwards and had to stop." Sililongfu analyzed.

"Did you let me kill Professor Lan?"

"No, we cannot attack an innocent man without any fault. Mr. San, this is not in line with our purpose." Sirilongfu immediately rejected.

"Then you let me custody myself, rescue Professor Lan and send him out of Shanghai?"

"Can you do it?"

"No, why should Professor Lan listen to me? Moreover, he is different from us. Once the news leaks, not only will he be in danger, but I may even be exposed. This will make it even more worthwhile." Chen Miao said, "It's better to find a way from the Black Dragon Society."

"You mean to destroy their plans?"

"When they feel that everything is ready and they are about to succeed, it is better to have a success?" Chen Miao said, "Since they are going to build a fake legal currency manufacturing factory in Shanghai, then wait for them to come out. If we put out the source now, they will choose something else, and then we will be out of reach."

"It makes sense, but are you sure?"

"It's not clear, but at least I have more resources available now than before." Chen Miao smiled.
