Chapter 1050: Beheading the hunchback! (Forty-nine)
ps: Xiaofeng is going to hit 1,000 orders, and there is still a long way to go. I hope that the students who read books will support them, order the genuine version, and bow to thank them!
October has begun without realizing it!
In the golden autumn of October, this is the harvest season in the pass. People are busy harvesting the farmer in the fields, but at this time the temperature in Heilongjiang has already reached sub-zero, the sky is foggy, and the clouds give people a very low feeling. The first snow may fall anytime and anywhere!
"Wang Yong, is it going to snow this day?"
"Yes, the window lattice paper will be blown by the wind to make the sound of "ancient and great", which is called "drawer wind". The old man in Northeast China said that this is a sign of snow!" Wang Yong explained.om
Lu Shan walked to the window and listened carefully. As Wang Yong said, the window lattice paper was blown by the wind and made a "old and ancient" sound.
This snow has a huge impact on the marching and combat of the troops. Generally speaking, countries will not choose to fight in winter, especially the offensive side, unless they have overwhelming advantages. Under harsh climate conditions, first, the soldiers' physical strength is consumed very much, and large-scale battles are difficult to supply, while the defense side is relatively better. Moreover, the bad weather also affects the performance of the weapon. On heavy snow, the aircraft basically loses combat effectiveness, and the world is covered with snow. Whether it is air combat or bombing on the ground, it will not have much effect. The integrated air-ground battle is seriously weakened!
This is aimed at traditional large-scale battles. Although small-scale battles are also subject to considerable restrictions, this is also a brand new challenge!
For the Special War Brigade, Lu Shan requires that he can fight around the clock. Whether it is rainstorms or heavy snow, these are the combat subjects they need to temper!
At the same time, this is also a blind spot for the enemy to understand. In their old military ideas, in such a bad weather, both sides will definitely be on the verge of fighting. Let’s wait until the weather gets better in the future!
Lu Shan just wanted to do the opposite!
Only when the infiltration, assassination and beheading of small groups of troops appear when the enemy unexpectedly expects it can achieve the greatest result!
This snow may be of some help to the special forces members this beheading operation, which can offset their vigilance against Qingshui Thirteen when occupying Huanan City!
Under heavy snow, the Japanese will definitely relax their vigilance. Although this has increased certain difficulties for the special operations team, it is good news!
"Mr. Lu, this snow will cause trouble for our troops to send troops to the hunchback gold mine!" Wang Yong said worriedly.
"It's nothing. It's just a heavy snow, I have my own way!" Lu Shan said with a smile.
When Zhao Momo came, Wang Yong naturally retired from Dong Shengtang. Besides, women's family cares more carefully than men, not to mention that they are still their own men. Zhao Momo is also more convenient in Yuan's house.
Thinking of the thousand-ton gold mine, Lu Shan was very excited. If this gold mine really exists and is extremely easy to mine, then Lu Shan will have a very favorable guarantee for the next step to establish his own bank and issue his own currency!
Only by having a certain amount of gold reserves and strong credibility can the issued currency be recognized by the people and be quickly circulated and used.
The financial market in North Manchuria has always been very chaotic. Although the Northeast authorities have also established many local banks such as official bank accounts in the Three East Provinces, the currency is relatively chaotic. In addition to the actual currency, there are also military tickets printed by the Japanese, old man tickets, various tickets from the Russian era, rubles. When foreign exchange settlement is made, the US dollar, pound, etc., and of course, there are also coin issued by the Three East Provinces, large amounts of silver bills and other currencies!
In fact, this is not a chaotic financial market in the Northeast. There is no unified currency standard in China. The current circulation is basically gold and silver. Although paper money is also circulating, the exchange rate changes too much. The major warlords have issued their own currencies. Once they are defeated or for some other reason, these currencies will instantly depreciate and be worthless!
Lu Shan is anxious to issue currency in order to deal with the upcoming famous "Silver Act" in the United States.
Because of this "Silver Act", the United States implemented a "three golds, one silver" monetary reserve policy. The US government acquired a large amount of silver, which caused the world's silver price to soar. At this time, China was the third largest silver standard in the world. A large amount of silver flowed out, and the amount of currency circulating decreased. While the silver dollar appreciated, its purchasing power did not respond to it. At the same time, the United States bought a large amount of silver, causing the US dollar to depreciate invisibly. The export competitiveness of its own enterprises increased significantly. A large number of exports caused the US economy to recover and escape the dilemma of the Great Depression!
This is a war without seeing the smoke of gunpowder. Because China is a silver country, a big country, or a weak country, it is naturally the loser!
Although the United States used this policy to recover its own economy within a timely manner, in fact, they are also losers!
A few American financial institutions such as the US Silver Interest Group and Citibank that were deeply involved in silver speculation benefited a lot at one time, but the US fiscal has paid a huge price for this.
If other methods are used to create jobs for silver industry workers, the cost will be much smaller.
American-funded enterprises in the real economy sector are also in a full-scale depression, and U.S.-funded enterprise executives and diplomats in China generally blame this situation on the US silver policy.
Even if the benefits of the US silver group are only temporary, this greedy and short-sighted group attempted to open up the Chinese market for American goods by raising the silver price and increase the use of silver, but it destroyed China's long-term import capacity and forced China, the largest silver-using country, to abolish the silver standard that lasted for nearly 400 years.
China and the United States are both losers in the Silver Purchase Act crisis, and Japanese militarists are the only winners.
The Japanese were not only happy to see that the United States greatly weakened the power of the Nanjing National Government and shook its financial foundation, but also saw that the silver crisis aroused a strong anti-American trend in Chinese society, even the group that was always regarded as "pro-American" was no exception, thus weakening the United States' own East Asian diplomatic strategy and making a lot of profits from silver smuggling.
Although Japan is increasingly aggressive in the Far East to challenge the interests of the United States and Britain, and the United States also objectively needs China to help them fight against Japan's challenges, the United States is doing everything that may help Japan due to the austerity of China's economy.
This is a bill that harms others and is not good for oneself, which has caused a heavy blow to China's economic and financial order. However, this also forced China to completely get rid of the silver standard. However, since there was no strong government, although it ended the silver standard and issued the "fiat currency", China's financial order still did not improve. Although the issuance of fiat currency has made certain contributions to China's anti-Japanese cause, for a considerable period of time, gold and silver currency was still a hard currency and circulated in the market!
It was not until the founding of New China that the issuance of RMB and the chaotic financial order were truly effectively governed. But that was already twenty years later!
The Japanese made profits because of the "Silver" Act in the United States and smuggled silver, which is not something Lushan is willing to see!
In fact, from the end of 32 to the beginning of 33, silver has fallen to an unimaginable bottom price. This is the time to buy silver at the bottom.
If a large amount of silver can be imported at this time and the silver bill is implemented in the United States in the future, it will make a big profit!
This money cannot be taken away by the Japanese like this. The silver bill has not yet been released, so the Japanese have not made any major moves.
Lu Shan had a bold plan in his mind. It was to quietly buy all the physical gold in his hands and hoard them. Anyway, silver is also a physical currency. It will only appreciate in the future and will not depreciate. Therefore, even if all gold is turned into silver, there will be no loss for Dongkang!
Of course, Lu Shan did not intend to absorb silver in China. His targets were Japan and Southeast Asian countries. Also, Mexico and India, which were all silver-based countries.
Secretly hoarding silver, and then wait until the United States implements the "Silver Purchase Act" and then sell the hoarded silver to the US government, it will inevitably be several times the profit!
And as long as he can provide enough silver from the United States to saturate the US government's silver reserves, the silver outflow from China will inevitably be relatively reduced, and Japan's profits from smuggling silver will be relatively less!
As one goes up and down, China's economy may not be as bad as in history before the War of Resistance Against Japan. And the strength of the Japanese will inevitably be worse!
Of course, this may delay the time for Japan's full invasion of China. But perhaps because of this, Japan may be eager to start a war!
This thousand-ton gold reserve mine gave Lu Shan hope of a big fight. Originally, there were not many gold items in Dong Kang's hands, and the original reserves of the official silver accounts of the three eastern provinces totaled less than ten tons!
In order to establish the Northern Bank, these golds are used as reserves and are prepared to be used for issuing paper notes and cannot be used at will.
Gold has always been a precious metal in China, with low reserves and output, and its exchange price with silver is higher than that of some foreign countries!
Japan is a major silver producer, but since Japan has abandoned the gold standard, the currency circulating in China has been paper-based, and physical silver is just a precious metal, they can make huge profits in the "Silver Purchase Act" enacted by the United States!
All Lu Shan has to do is to reserve Japanese silver. Of course, if Dong Kang does this matter himself, it will definitely not work. He can only do it through other people's hands.
For example, Bai Jing, who is far away in the United States, and Lu Shan’s other identity is Shingetsu Intomi. Bai Jing can enter the Japanese silver market by setting up an agent, while Shingetsu Intomi is even simpler. With his identity, he can completely use the bank in his hands to open up the acquisition of physical silver!
Bai Jing from the United States is already taking action, and Lu Shan’s other identity layer, Ship Yue Inmin has also taken action.
What Lu Shan is short of now is funds, that is, money, and this money is gold!
With gold, you can do a big fight in the Japanese market. The Japanese government will definitely not stop the smuggling of silver, but will instead strongly support it. And Futsugo Hitoshitoshi's identity has no resistance at all!
It seems that these interests have entered the Japanese government's pocket, but in fact, they are actually Lu Shan's pocket in the end!
With money, Lu Shan can acquire shares in major Japanese companies and turn them into his private property one by one!
It can be imagined that if this plan is completed, all Japan's core industries will fall into Lu Shan's hands after the war!
Although he may not be able to stop these companies from strike, after the war, it may bring Japan back to primitive society!
Because he could say that all these factories were packaged and moved back to China, and then claim a sky-high compensation from Japan, but Japan could not use these companies as collateral. At that time, even if Japan takes all the crotch cloth, it would not be able to afford it!
Therefore, this thousand-ton gold mine has become particularly important to Lu Shan, and his appearance has made up for the most critical link in all his plans!
Once this link is filled, the plan can speed up the action!
Because of this plan, he still has reason to let Mieko Sakai stay in Japan to take charge of this plan, and he does not have to return to Manchuria for the time being.
This can be considered a killing of two birds with one stone, and it also avoids the situation where Mars hits the earth when Moriyama Yumi and Sakai Mieko meet!
It would be even harder for him to deal with Moriyama Yumi, and it would be even harder for him to deal with it with Sakai Mieko!
However, this plan is easy to say, but difficult to do. It is rare to transport gold to Japan. A special person is needed to be responsible for doing this. He is bold and meticulous, and has to be meticulous, especially reliable.
If this matter is done successfully, it will cause a sensation all over the world!
"Mr. Lu, Miss Yu sent someone to report that Dong Shengtang was awake!" Yang Shangwu's report interrupted Lu Shan's thoughts.
"Oh, when did you wake up?" Lu Shan paused and asked.
"Half an hour ago, as soon as someone woke up, Miss Yu sent someone over!" Yang Shangwu said.
"Let's go and have a look!" Lu Shan said.
"Mr. Lu, it's time to have a meal. Let's go after dinner?" Yang Shangwu reminded.
"It's time to have a meal. I haven't felt hungry yet. What time is it now?" Lu Shan asked.
"It's already half past twelve!"
"Then let's have a meal, and go after the meal!" Lu Shan shook his head and smiled.
Dong Shengtang had just woken up and kissed me and me to express his feelings. It wasn’t they going there at this time, so it doesn’t matter if they go later!
While having a meal, I met Wu Zi.
"How is it, is there any news about Matsuda?" Lu Shan asked.
"Not yet, but according to the puppet troops at the four gates, they have never seen Matsuda leave Huanan City!" Wu Zi said.
"So, Matsuda may be hiding in Huanan City?" Lu Shan said in surprise.
"It's not that there is no such possibility. I have sent someone to secretly visit the streets!" Wu Zi said.
"How do you check?"
"Check who raises pigeons at home!" Wu Zi said.
"This is a good idea. I'll notify me immediately if there is any news!" Lu Shan nodded.
"yes!"
Chapter completed!
