Long Live Money in Anime Crossover

In contrast to the vibrant and bustling scene at the central level, the Jinling Military Region was shrouded in gloom and despair.

Jinling Military Region, one of the most developed and affluent military regions in China, has never lacked money and is also a place where various nobles and wealthy merchants gather.

However, the recent viral outbreak caused all the wealth of the Jinling Military Region to flow away in an instant. Afterwards, the central government issued a new RMB and related laws, which immediately made all the wealth in Jinling illegal.

How could the wealthy people of Nanjing remain indifferent to this?

If it weren't for the Liu family of the Jinling Military Region stepping in and using all their gold as hard currency to stabilize the situation, Jinling would probably be in internal strife by now.

With the full support of the Liu family, the Suzhou-Hangzhou Bank of the Jinling Military Region finally began the work of reconstructing the data bit by bit. Using all existing paper documents and vouchers, as well as various witness testimonies and physical evidence, they began to classify all the industries in Nanjing by their owners.

Of course, there were also those who wanted to take advantage of the situation and engage in speculation. For the sake of property, all sorts of elaborate feuds, self-destruction, mutual slander, and family dramas were staged here every second, which completely refreshed the values ​​of the staff of Suzhou and Hangzhou Bank.

At the same time, relying on the forceful intervention of the military, the Jinling Military Region temporarily implemented a system similar to a military-controlled government and a planned economy, with the Suzhou-Hangzhou Bank starting to issue various notes as temporary substitutes for paper money.

With this two-pronged approach, the overall situation in the Jinling Military Region finally stabilized.

However, the people of the Jinling Military Region dared not speak out against their anger. After all, banks might be willing to reconstruct data for a wealthy person's massive assets, but would they go to the trouble of managing a few hundred or a thousand yuan in savings for an ordinary citizen?

Many Nanjing residents are secretly inquiring about the current policies of the three military regions under the central government, wanting to know if the central government's claim of compensating every affected citizen is true.

At this time, a group of outsiders with somewhat imperfect accents began to wander the streets and alleys of Nanjing. They seemed to know a lot about the Central Military Region and could answer any question asked by the locals.

In addition, their eloquence made the people happy to listen to their stories. As a result, in the minds of the people, a perfect, happy, upright, and promising Central Military Region began to take shape.

Some of them were carrying peculiar black digital devices that allowed them to connect to the central and global networks, breaking through the military region's network blockade and seeing the current world situation and the central government's development.

As a result, the information shortage caused by the information blockade and the military-controlled government was gradually eliminated under the guidance of these people. People became more and more familiar with the Central Military Region, and the news that the Central Army was about to attack Nanjing began to spread in Nanjing.

This caused unrest among the people of Nanjing. Many people compared the actions of the Liu family in Nanjing with what they had heard from those people about the actions of the central government. One by one, they began to wish that Nanjing would return to the embrace of the orthodox Chinese nation as soon as possible.

Soon, these people caught the attention of the military government in Nanjing, and squads of soldiers began to arrest them. However, these people always managed to disappear without a trace and then find an opportunity to reappear.

Moreover, this time, they didn't just tell stories; they also said something strange to some people they had their eye on.

"Friend, have you ever heard of the Chinese Party?"

Fourth update

134 Hello, please call me Sixth Master

These guys who ask strange questions from time to time don't seem to have much ability, and they don't look much different from ordinary people. However, they all seem to be well-informed and have great supernatural powers, and they have never been captured by the Liu family's army.

Soon, as the Liu family intensified their investigation, these people disappeared from the crowd. However, the news they spread could not be stopped and spread throughout the Jinling Military Region.

At this moment, the power of the phrase "public opinion is a fearsome thing" truly became apparent.

At first, these mysterious people were simply telling everyone the truth about the current situation of the Central Military Region, without much exaggeration. However, after they disappeared due to the search, the information circulating among the people gradually changed.

The Central Government was no longer a simple, desirable place, but had become a paradise on earth. The Central Army's advance was no longer as difficult as simply attacking; the Nanjing Military Region was suffering defeat after defeat, and the Central Army was about to arrive in Nanjing. Even more alarming, a rumor circulated that the current monetary chaos in the Nanjing Military Region was actually a trap set by the Liu family to plunder the wealth of all the people.

Otherwise, where did all that money go? Could it just disappear into thin air?

Ordinary people naturally couldn't conjure up theories about money out of thin air, and there was no one to explain them to them at the moment. Although the Liu family's army could arrest those who spread rumors with ulterior motives, they couldn't simply arrest every single person chatting idly.

Unless the Liu family has truly lost all hope, believes that their military region is completely unable to resist the Central Army, and simply gives up and engages in indiscriminate killing.

The Liu family currently feels that they still have some strength.

First, not all of the Central Army's troops came to attack Nanjing; only the First Army Group led by Artoria went south.

According to the Liu family's intelligence, Artoria's direct troops number around 30,000, and with other auxiliary troops, the entire army group only has a mere 40,000 men.

Although the Jinling Military Region only dispatched 15,000 men in the Battle of Luoyang, it would not be a problem to gather 100,000 fully armed troops to defend against the Central Military Region's attack.

The numerical advantage was a reassurance for the Nanjing Military Region, and the other military regions also expressed their support and took action, contributing their strength. The Central Military Region was destined to disperse its forces to guard against other places; otherwise, if the other military regions took advantage of the situation to invade, wouldn't the Central Military Region be utterly defeated?

With these conditions in place, the Nanjing Military Region did not feel that it was at a great disadvantage, but rather that the Central Military Region was a worthy adversary to be fought.

The troops of the Central Military Region seemed to confirm this, as they did not rush to move their troops, but instead approached Nanjing slowly, as if they were afraid of actually starting a war.

Despite feeling that they had a better chance of winning, the Liu family of the Jinling Military Region still mobilized all of the region's resources, frantically deploying potential forces and stockpiling all soldiers in the northern part of the Jinling Military Region, preparing for a decisive battle with the central government's army.

……

"Is our transportation capacity still insufficient?"

Artoria watched the train rushing towards them and couldn't help but shake her head and sigh. Standing beside her was Zhou Xianglin. As one of the key members of the former Special Reaction Force, she still followed Artoria and was her second-in-command.

“That’s right, General.”

Zhou Xianglin nodded and said, "Although the newly developed trains have been put into use, the speed of transporting supplies and the volume of freight have been greatly improved, but our railway conditions cannot keep up and we cannot push these newest trains to their speed limit."

"Moreover, the number of these new trains is still too small to form a complete transportation system."

After listening to Zhou Xianglin's report, Artoria nodded and looked at the diesel locomotive parked in front of the station.

In the past three months, the Central Military Region has been making rapid technological progress. However, time is limited, and although many things have made breakthroughs, they have only remained at the level of the first time.

For example, the diesel engine of a train, a massive diesel engine for a freight train, is definitely a masterpiece of industrial art. Currently, three of these engines have been built regardless of cost, and after passing testing, they have been quickly modified onto locomotives for Artoria's emergency use.

As for the actual establishment of production lines and mass production, it will probably still take some time.

There's no other way; without a train equipped with this kind of engine, it would be impossible to transport these enormous creatures.

At present, the entire train station has been taken over by the army. After the train stopped, the soldiers, their faces full of excitement, boarded the train under the command of their officers. They untied the military green canvas covering the behemoth, and under the military green canvas, a series of camouflaged steel monsters were exposed.

If it weren't for their superiors stopping them, these young soldiers would probably have screamed with excitement at the sight of their newly acquired steel comrades.

A day apart feels like three autumns, whether it's with my girlfriend or my best friend.

One by one, the soldiers crawled into the steel monster. Soon after, under the command of the ground soldiers, the steel monster was started up, slowly disembarked from the train, left the train station on a specially paved road, and headed to the designated assembly point.

Because of discipline, no soldier spoke, but their excitement at the operation of this steel monster was written all over their faces. If it weren't for the constraints of discipline, they would probably all be cheering wildly.

"It is truly... a steel masterpiece worthy of awe. I never imagined that industry and technology could give birth to such a massive steel monster."

Even Zhou Xianglin, watching those steel monsters driving out of the train station, showed an expression of admiration.

"But General, why is this new tank called the Type 59 tank? Although I asked Mr. Mo, his answer was that this tank has five pairs of road wheels, so it must be a Type 59 tank. What is the reason for this, or is there something I don't understand?"

Artoria smiled slightly and said, "This is probably just one of his quirky interests, don't worry about it. But you can remember that there are five pairs of road wheels. The reason there are only five pairs of road wheels now is because our current industrial and technological capabilities are not yet sufficient. Later, when tanks with six pairs of road wheels are born, that will be the true crystallization of heavy industry."

Zhou Xianglin's mouth dropped open in surprise, and she began to look forward to the tank with six pairs of road wheels that Artoria had mentioned.

The tank with five pairs of road wheels is the Type 59 medium tank, which had a legendary history of having five pairs of road wheels in its predecessor, Momo. The saying "Type 59 descends the mountain" refers to this generation of tanks that occupied an important place in Chinese history.

The Type 59 tank has strong firepower, good armor protection and mobility, is relatively light in weight and small in size, has a simple structure, is reliable in operation, and is relatively easy to use and maintain. This is why Momer chose to produce this tank.

After all, a tank is a complex engineering project, and its numerous systems represent the culmination of a nation's military industry. Currently, the Chinese Empire, while aiming to build more advanced tanks, lacks the corresponding electronic systems to support them.

Therefore, the legendary Type 59 tank caught Momo's eye. The simple and durable Type 59, coupled with its extensive experience in modification, was enough to allow it to be quickly transformed into a version suitable for the world of Code Geass.

The current version of the tank is simply a crude addition of steel armor on all four sides. Although it sacrifices some mobility, it can basically remain invincible against all infantry tactics in this world.

In this world, even the thin-skinned electric tanks can only be bounced off their small shells when they hit the rear of the current version of the Type 59. Apart from being afraid of landmines under its belly and bombs overhead, the current Type 59 tank, equipped with steel plates, is basically invincible.

The only pity is that, although Momo focused on the manufacturing of tank combustion engines and the localization of the Type 59 tank from the very beginning in Luoyang, he has only just completed the conversion of a few Type 59 tank production lines. Even after exhausting the production capacity of several major heavy industrial plants, the number of tanks is still less than two hundred, not even enough to assemble two fully-equipped tank regiments.

However, this was enough for Artoria. For the tanks of the Chinese Empire's local forces, the Type 59 would definitely show its style in this world.

Moreover, several production lines in the three military regions of the Central Military Commission are currently undergoing renovations, and the production speed of the Type 59 tank will continue to increase. It is not a problem to stabilize at more than 100 tanks per month in the future. Any further production capacity would actually be of little significance.

Artoria knew that even if an internal combustion engine tank were developed now, it would still face an absolute disadvantage against Knightmare's high mobility in the future.

Knightmare can easily close the distance to a tank and then attack its weak points. It is no exaggeration to say that Knightmare is the natural enemy of tanks. Tanks are just a weapon that can be used in the Chinese Empire at present.

Compared to tanks, Artoria is more concerned about another type of weapon, one that currently only has one unit.

"Let's go, Karin, let's go meet Xiaoxue, she should have arrived by now."

Zhou Xianglin nodded. Although she was somewhat reluctant to part with the armored and steely splendor of the Type 59 tank, she still accompanied Artoria to a nearby airport that had been renovated, waiting for the arrival of the important weapon that Artoria had mentioned.

Zhou Xianglin knew nothing about this weapon. All she knew was that it was equipment belonging to the Air Force and was controlled by Mo Xue, one of the wives of former General Mo Momo, the "Kirin Talent".

But since Kuroyukihime controls the air force, then this time the weapon will most likely be an airplane, right?

What role can an airplane play? Can it really decide the outcome of a battle?

However, when Zhou Xianglin heard the ear-piercing roar from the sky and saw the enormous creature with a wingspan and length of over thirty meters descending from the heavens, a feeling of being stared at by a ferocious beast lingered in her heart, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.

"General...is this an airplane?"

Artoria smiled and nodded, saying, "That's right, this is one of our decisive weapons in this attack on Jinling. According to Momo, you can call it Sixth Master."

Author's Note:

This is the fifth update; there will be another update shortly.

135 Sending warmth late at night

Days passed quickly, and the Chinese Empire's army continued to actively mobilize and prepare, while the Nanjing Military Region's troops began to establish a solid defensive line. Generally speaking, anyone who crossed such a line would suffer a devastating blow.

This development has given the Liu family in Jinling even more confidence.

When the central government suddenly declared war on the local authorities and chose Nanjing, the capital of the Liu family, as its target, the Liu family was thrown into a panic for a while.

However, panic was of no use, so the Liu family, having calmed down, began to actively prepare for war. They were not like the Kong family, foolishly handing over all their wealth without any resistance and content to remain wealthy men.

Afterwards, the Liu family desperately contacted other powerful families and warlords for support, and at the same time, they desperately mobilized their war potential. Now they have established a complete defensive line, which has finally put their minds at ease.

So the Central Army wasn't all that great after all!

Despite the boastful talk before the heat, the speed of mobilization and preparation was not too surprising. After all, even the most capable Central Army is still human.

When people are killed, they die.

If a member of the Central Army were hit by a bullet, they would certainly die.

Having figured this out, the Liu family seemed to truly believe that although they could not guarantee a complete victory, it would still be no problem to keep the Central Army north of the Yangtze River and outside of Nanjing.

If we can prevent it, then everything will be fine!

With peace of mind, the Liu family members were finally able to sleep soundly at night. But they didn't know that tonight, a massive aircraft took off from the military base in Altria, carrying a belly full of gifts, to bring warmth to the children of the Jinling Military Region.

After all, Sixth Master was getting old and had a very peaceful temperament. He couldn't withstand too much strenuous activity. He flew at a speed of about Mach 0.75 at an altitude of 10,000 meters, like a giant bird from outer space, silently crossing the entire defense line of the Jinling Military Region and arriving at the core area of ​​Jinling.

What, you're asking who Sixth Master is?

Sixth Master was naturally another legend in the history of China in Mo Mo's previous life. He was born into a generation of outstanding talents and served China for decades. His service was even longer than many people's lifetime working years. He was a grandfather-level figure who was still vigorous in his old age.

The H-6, in its predecessor to the Momo, was a bomber developed by China based on its older brother, the Tu-16. It began mass production in 1969 and remained in service until 2020.
