Years of the Republic of China 1913

Jiang Zhiqing is even more familiar with the Japanese currency than those domestic bank notes. After all, he has lived in Japan for so many years and has been using the Japanese currency, and the circulation of the Japanese currency in China is not small, especially in the past few years. However, due to national turmoil and economic imperfections, foreign currencies such as ri yuan, British pounds, francs, marks, and US dollars are directly used as domestic currency in many places. ()

The ri bill in his hand is extremely exquisitely made and feels good to the touch. No matter in terms of color, paper, printing, anti-counterfeiting (although Jiang Zhiqing is not good at anti-counterfeiting) and other aspects, it is a genuine banknote at a fair price.However, Fang Zida told him clearly that it was a counterfeit banknote, and Jiang Zhiqing was shocked.

"This...fake?" Picking up his hands, he looked at the sunlight from the window and stared his eyes as big as a bull's eye. Jiang Zhiqing still couldn't tell where it was fake.At the same time, he opened his mouth so much that he could almost stuff an apple into it, and with a turn of his mind, he instantly understood what the special department that Fang Zida wanted to set up was for.

As expected, Fang Zida, who was sitting behind the executive desk, smiled lightly, pointed to the counterfeit banknotes he was holding, and said, "The main task of the special department is to spend the money, but you must pay attention, the money can only be spent in Japan , it must not be allowed to circulate in the country.”

"This is impossible!" Jiang Zhiqing exclaimed: "President, the ri yuan is a hard currency in China. Even if I spend the money in Japan, it will circulate in the country. How can this loophole be blocked?"

Fang Zida waved his hands and said with a smile: "The new foreign exchange management system of Zhongyang Bank will be implemented soon. From next month, the country will restrict the circulation of currencies of various countries in the country. All foreign currencies must be exchanged through Zhongyang Bank. Hehe, what do you think, Are we going to get back the money we spent?"

"If that's the case, then there's no problem." Jiang Zhiqing breathed a sigh of relief, but he hesitated again: "But this money... is it reliable to use?"

In order to cheer up Jiang Zhiqing, Fang Zida said frankly: "Rui Yuan! Although this money is fake, it is no different from real money. In other words, it is just produced in our printing factory. In terms of general inspection methods, Ri's own bank will never be able to detect its authenticity. Of course, it can still be judged through some special methods. Therefore, you must be careful when using it, not to attract the attention of the other party, and not to leave any traces As for how to do it. How to do it well, I believe you will have a way.”

Jiang Zhiqing thought for a while, then stood up: "I understand, President, I am willing to accept this job."

"Okay!" Fang Zida put his palms together and laughed, very happy in his heart. He has been preparing for this plan for a long time. It can even be said that he started it quietly when he took over Bank of Communications to establish Zhongyang Bank. Everything was done without anyone noticing. .Now, qualified fake ri yuan has been produced.The specific implementation must be in charge of a very reliable, bold and careful person who is familiar with Japan. For this candidate, Fang Zida considered for a long time and finally chose Jiang Zhiqing.

In order to give Jiang Zhiqing a little more motivation, Fang Zida not only allocated [-] oceans as start-up capital, but also assured him that every ri spent will be used as a reward fund for the special department at a ratio of: Using these funds was not what Fang Zida considered.

:, although this ratio does not seem to be much.But Jiang Zhiqing's face flushed with excitement after hearing this.This is not a trick to do business, it is simply a huge profit!As long as it works well, there is almost no pressure to spend hundreds of thousands or even millions of ri per month, which means that his special department can at least have several thousand or even tens of thousands of ri per month in the account?You must know that a small foreign house in the French Concession in Shanghai is only worth a few thousand ri, which is enough to make Jiang Zhiqing a veritable rich man in the shortest possible time.

As for the outward circulation channels.Fang Zida also made preliminary arrangements for Jiang Zhiqing.During these days in the south, he quietly acquired several small private private banks.And a series reorganization was carried out.On the surface, these banks are still private banks, but in fact they are secret subsidiaries of Zhongyang Bank, and are directly managed by Fang Zida.In addition to maintaining the original operation, another important task of them is to cooperate with the special department to circulate these ri yuan.As for the work in Japan, Jiang Zhiqing had to rely on himself. Fang Zida believed that with his ability, he would definitely give him a satisfactory answer.

Except for Jiang Zhiqing who was directly selected by Fang Zida, the members of the special department were secretly investigated by Zhou Yuanliang, and his family members were firmly in control to ensure absolute safety and confidentiality.The war between the two countries, in addition to the real swords and guns on the battlefield, there is also a battlefield without gunpowder. The economic war is exactly what Fang Zida wants to use.Under the current circumstances, China is not yet capable of launching a frontal war with Japan, and cannot easily use troops. With the development of the country, what is urgently needed is internal stability. Once a war with Japan begins, the constitutional government that has been implemented is If it can continue, will Sun Wen and other revolutionaries jump out to make trouble again, and will some covetous forces revive?These are all issues that Fang Zida must consider.

What's more, Japan himself has always been loyal to China. With China's stable development and gradually becoming stronger, they seem to be a little restless now. Okamura Ningji's actions have aroused Fang Zida's great vigilance. Ben has been considering whether to Fang Zida, who implemented this plan, finally made up his mind, and only then did he give Jiang Zhiqing a heavy responsibility.

This method, Fang Zida is not original.No matter it was used by all countries in World War II in history, even in the 2nd century, this method was not uncommon between countries.The main purpose of economic warfare is to use various financial means to disrupt the opponent's economy, paralyze its economy, and weaken the opponent's national strength.In today's initial stage of world economic development, especially financial development, Fang Zida is temporarily unable to use exchange rate, stock market, futures and other means to achieve his goals, and using this simplest and most effective method has become his only choice.

Although the currencies of various countries have anti-counterfeiting and other measures, the measures are not as delicate and complicated as decades later. Except for the particularly complicated old currencies such as the British pound and the Mark, it is not too difficult for Yang Bank, let alone Fang Zida gathered a group of elite soldiers as early as the establishment of the Zhongyang Bank, and conducted research on the major currencies of various countries. One of the important objects is the Japanese Yuan.It can be said that Fang Zida worked hard for more than a year to make this kind of ri yuan, no matter in terms of paper, ink or printing anti-counterfeiting, there is no difference between it and the real one, except for the difference in number calculation and arrangement. Forget it, as long as he operates carefully, Fang Zida believes that Japan will never pay attention to it in a short period of time.

Jiang Zhiqing's ability is still very strong. A few days after Fang Zida handed over the special department to him, he officially started work.The first batch of ri yuan handed over to him totaled 5 yuan, and it didn't take Jiang Zhiqing much time to spend all of it. Not only did it not attract any attention, but it also brought Fang Zida a huge harvest.Equipment, semi-finished products, industrial products, chemical products... These are all materials that are in short supply in the country. Jiang Zhiqing, who is waving a large amount of "ri yuan" in his hand, never refuses anyone who comes, and he found Fang Zida excitedly within a month or so. , and asked to continue to allocate another ten thousand ri to him.

For the great achievements he had achieved, Fang Zida was uncontrollably excited. To be on the safe side, he temporarily stopped Jiang Zhiqing in order to observe Japan's reaction.When it was found that Japan hadn't noticed it at all, it gradually gave Jiang Zhiqing several million yuan, and repeatedly told him to put safety first, stop immediately if there was any trouble, and monitor all participants involved all staff.

Banknotes are a reflection of a country's credit. In Japan's modern age, when the system and control of financial institutions are not perfect, using this method to disrupt the economy may be too late after the other party finds out.Fang Zida smiled triumphantly, playing with a big ocean in his hand. For the time being, China's currency is mainly minted. Although he has already started to issue legal tender, before the formation of the strict financial system of Zhongyang Bank, this work is only in the In preparation.Fang Zida is not a brainless person. Once Japan knows that he has suffered such a big loss, he will definitely look for the mastermind behind the scenes. Absolutely no way to find them.But there is no guarantee. After the Japanese suffered a loss, they turned their anger on China, and they also used this method to deal with themselves. Therefore, Fang Zida must first tighten his own fence to prevent problems before they happen.

Zhou Yuanliang had already graduated from the short-term training course of the Zhongyang Military Academy. After graduation, Fang Zida arranged for him a position in the General Staff, awarded him the rank of lieutenant colonel, and set up a special department with Yuan Shikai's help.Although this department is attached to the General Staff Headquarters, it is actually based on intelligence and is divided into two departments. One is the Military Intelligence Department, which mainly assists the General Staff Headquarters in collecting various intelligence information. Chief Wang Shizhen selects capable staff members to participate, and the other is the secret service department, which Zhou Yuanliang is directly in charge of, and it is subdivided into several departments, such as the intelligence department, counterintelligence department, operations department, telecommunications department, and so on.

It can be said that Fang Zida's intelligence department was formally established at this point, and it became a favorable tool in his hands.And Zhou Yuanliang did not disappoint Fang Zida's hope, and new information was sent not long after. After Okamura Neiji, Japan sent another person to Beijing, but this person's whereabouts were even worse than Okamura Neiji's. Secretive, on the surface, he is just an ordinary Japanese grocery merchant, but after monitoring, it can be confirmed that he, like Neiji Okamura, has a special mission.

This person is none other than Okamura Ningji's old classmate, Kenji Doihara who is as famous as him.
