Chapter 167 The Locust Army was defeated not only in the military struggle!

"Triple the price."

Although Colonel Heze has nine economics skills, he still knows nothing.

But he also knew.

It doesn't matter to the Locust Army that the price of mule and horse feed is tripled. After all, the issuance of the joint currency is directly controlled by the North China Front Army, so it is almost costless to the Locust Army.

As much as you want.

Likewise, he knew it too.

Once the triple price is given, subsequent food prices will skyrocket further.

This has nothing to do with economics.

After the European War, there were many similar examples, cited in military textbooks. Prices collapsed due to excessive currency issuance, and the situation was chaotic.

Stable finance, controlled by the occupier, is key to the stability of the occupation.

"what happened?"

Colonel Heze frowned.

At this time, Colonel Heze was completely unaware of why this problem occurred.

"After you ordered Chi County to ban the Eighth Route Army's new Hebei Nan currency and use joint currency for settlement, the number of merchants in Chi County began to decrease significantly, and the market prices began to skyrocket."

The staff officer lowered his head and answered.

Colonel Heze's frown deepened.

Economically, he didn't know the details, but as a soldier, Colonel Heze knew how to analyze the situation.

After he banned the Jinan coins on Tubal Road, prices in Chi County immediately collapsed and continued to rise.

this means,

In Chi County, Tubal Road's financial war has taken an absolute advantage.

"what happened?"

A bad feeling flashed through Colonel Heze's heart.

Militarily, it will suffer a setback, and if it fails again economically...

at this time,

Jingle Bell··

The phone rang.

"Report."

"Suzuki Colonel's phone number."

The Japanese staff officer held the phone and looked at Colonel Heze.

···

"idiot!"

Shimen,

When Suzuki Fanji heard that Chi County banned the use of new Hebei Nan coins, he even took them away by force.

Suddenly he was so angry that he yelled.

New Jinan coins are not circulating in the areas controlled by the Locust Army. How can he collect the new Jinan coins, convert them into silver dollars, sell them to Americans domestically, earn foreign exchange, and then purchase military supplies needed domestically?

And the market has accepted the new Jinan currency.

At this time, forcibly excluding it will have no effect and will only aggravate the devaluation of the joint currency issued by the Locust Army.

Hundreds of harms but no benefit.

"Take my call from Colonel Heze."

Suzuki Fan blew his beard and stared in anger.

···

"Immediately withdraw the order banning new Hebei Nan coins and liberalize the circulation of Eighth Route Army currency in Chi County."

The call was quickly answered.

Suzuki Fanji was not polite and said directly in a commanding tone.

"idiot!"

"You are siding with the enemy!"

Colonel Heze was immediately so angry that he yelled:

"One of the keys to determining the outcome of the war is economic struggle."

"You are betraying the empire by allowing Tubal's currency to circulate in areas controlled by the Locust Army."

"Betrayal of the Empire..."

Suzuki Fanji sneered:

"Opening Chi County around Ze County and allowing the circulation of new Hebei Nan coins on Tuba Road is an order agreed by the North China Front and signed by Chief of Staff Miyano Michichi."

"You can apply to the Chief of Staff."

What is the current income in the southern Hebei region?

Sixty thousand Canadian silver dollars are transferred to the United States every day, which is more than twenty thousand US dollars per day and nearly ten million US dollars a year.

Enough to build a light cruiser.

What a huge amount of money.

It doesn't matter if a few county towns are given over to Tuba Road. "Nani?!"

After the words fell, Heze Dazonani said something, and then fell into silence for a long time.

Suzuki Fanji and he were both colonels, but their responsibilities were completely different. He commanded a regiment, and Suzuki Fanji was in charge of the government department, responsible for the economic confrontation between the Locust Army and Tubal Road around Hebei Province.

Since the other party dares to say this, it means that the headquarters really has an order.

"Silver dollars?"

After thinking for a moment, Colonel Heze understood the reason.

In Ze County and other areas controlled by Tuba Road in southern Hebei, new Hebei coins can be exchanged for silver dollars at a ratio of ten to one.

"It's good that you know."

Suzuki Fanji hung up the phone.

···

"Is this the purpose of Tubalu?"

Suzuki Fanji hung up the phone arrogantly, but his expression was the same as that of Colonel Heze.

All frowned.

When a large amount of silver coins came in, he took the initiative to open the area controlled by the Locust Army around the Jinan base to accommodate these new Jinan coins. He then collected these new Jinan coins through the banks controlled by the Locust Army, and then exchanged them all into silver dollars and sold them. Earn the difference in international markets.

Because the locust army controls major transportation lines, monopolized industries, financial industry, etc.

Costs are also not included, so profits are high.

More than 20,000 US dollars a day, almost all of which is profit.

He was immersed in this huge gain, unaware of it, thinking that he was in control of the situation.

But now it seems...

"Is this the purpose of Tubalu?"

“Promote the new Hebei South Coin to areas controlled by the locust army?”

Suzuki Fanji frowned.

Colonel Heze is right. These new Hebei Nan coins in circulation are the best propaganda for the Eighth Route Army, especially when the Locust Army also begins to use the New Hebei South coins.

Even if it is an area absolutely controlled by the locust army,

When those who surrendered to the empire saw that the locust army was using Tubal Road's currency, it would definitely strengthen the impression of Tubal Road in these people's minds.

From a war perspective,

He should resolutely resist or even sabotage the outward expansion of the new Jinan currency.

but··

"Sixty thousand silver dollars a day, and the maximum can even reach 80,000."

"Today it even reached 100,000."

Looking at the statistical list, Suzuki Fanji took a deep breath and looked hesitantly.

Thanks to the Locust Army's absolute control over the rich areas of Hebei Province, almost all transportation is controlled by the Locust Army, so he can collect more than 60,000 silver dollars every day.

Especially today, with the help of the landowners in the Tuba Road base area, they began to use fake Hebei Nan coins to exchange excess amounts for silver dollars.

Today's profit is one hundred thousand silver dollars.

Over thirty thousand dollars!

If he continues, he could raise more than $5 million for the military this year.

Five million dollars in funding.

At the current exchange rate of Japanese yen to US dollars, that is more than 27 million yen.

This fund is enough for him to take a step forward.

Finally, Suzuki Fanji put away his hesitation and continued to advance his plan to collect silver coins.

···

That night.

Northern Review.

suburbs.

With a low spiraling sound, a biplane landed on the lawn.

As soon as the plane stopped, several comrades from the Beijing Review began to open the cargo compartment and unload the cargo. With skillful movements, they took out bags of silver coins from the cargo compartment.

At the same time, Shen Sheng opened the cockpit cover and handed out a large stack of the latest printed Xinhua Newspaper.

Wen Sheng, one of the leaders of the Beijing Review underground party, took over the stack of Xinhua Newspapers.

"Headquarters orders."

Shen Sheng conveyed the headquarters order by the way:

“Paste this newspaper on the wall of the Beijing Review as soon as possible.”

"Put it on the wall?"

Vincent was stunned and looked down at the newspaper in his hand.

With the help of the moonlight, he could clearly see the headlines on the front page of the Xinhua Newspaper. Suddenly, his eyes widened like bells:

"The troops want to kill Miyano Michichi?!"
