Chapter 965: What a sin!

Author: Jiangsu Zhaozi

When Gu Qi heard the Republicans who came with Xiao Leiwen, he said that he was Xu Enzeng's brother-in-law, and immediately became energetic. He was so tired that he had no time to find it.

The other party is a shareholder of Antaifeng Insurance. In order to avoid being said to be retaliated by private revenge, the Military Control Commission did not specifically arrest him during the previous arrest operation, but unexpectedly encountered him again.

But what the other party came to Meifeng Bank for? Could it be that it was because of that account, so it was even more unreliable. Gu Qi thought something and waved his hand again to let the spies arrest people directly.

The brother-in-law, who was pushed to the ground by the spy, was anxious and quickly called for help, begging Liewen to save him. His humble appearance was really disgusting.

But Little Leiwen just watched the other party being dragged away coldly and did not make any stopping actions. A small partner is not worth his own operation.

He raised his hand and patted it, and echoes kept ringing in the empty bank hall. After a moment, more than a dozen guards suddenly ran out of the corner and pointed their guns at everyone.

"Gentlemen, you can take this person away, but please leave the account book. Although my name is not in the shareholders' register, there are American citizens among the employees of MetFong Bank.

If you can stop this act of destroying diplomatic relations between the two countries, I will let you go safely and never let my friendship down, otherwise

Little Leiwen issued an ultimatum, and he seemed to be sure of winning in his words. He did not believe that the civil servants of the Gorge Party dared to shoot the American public, and he was very sure of this.

More than ten years ago, the United States issued too many dollars. Since the United States implemented a gold standard at that time, the US dollar could be exchanged for gold at will, resulting in Europe collectively selling the US dollar and demanding it to exchange it back.

The dollar value plummeted, which triggered a squeeze. Bank of America had insufficient gold reserves and went bankrupt one after another. 2,000 banks across the United States went bankrupt, and even the Federal Reserve had to temporarily close it.

In order to stabilize the dollar value, the United States thought of a solution was that it was insufficient gold reserves and silver reserves were collected. The general government signed a "Silver Acquisition Act" for this purpose.

Intent to attract global silver to the United States by raising the international silver purchase price, increase the US silver reserves and strengthen the US dollar currency value.

Against this backdrop, the international silver price soared from US$0.25 per ounce in 1932 to US$1.29 per ounce in 1934.

However, this selfish behavior was hurt by the Republic of China, which was far away from the other side of Taipingyang. At that time, the silver standard implemented in the Republic of China, and the main currency in the market was silver dollars.

Under the temptation of high prices from the United States, from 1934 to 1935, a huge amount of silver in the Republic of China flowed out, and silver reserves plummeted from about 602 million yuan to 288 million yuan.

The large outflow of silver directly led to serious financial panic in the Republic of China. First, banks, money shops and industrial and commercial enterprises collapsed on a large scale, and then evolved into a general depression in the economy of various industries.

To preserve the dollar's currency value by luring a financial crisis in the Republic of China is only the first step. In order to maintain the advantage of exports, the United States does not allow the government to depreciate its currency without authorization.

In 1935, the U.S. Secretary of Finance warned the Republic of China ambassador that for the sake of the public and future considerations of the "both sides", the best way for both countries is to peg the silver dollar to the US dollar.

The two sides maintain a fixed exchange rate and the government changes the exchange rate, so that they need permission from the United States to avoid unnecessary "misunderstandings" and affecting the good relationship between the Republic of China and the United States.

A weak country has no diplomacy, and the ambassador of the Republic of China has to agree if he does not agree. In this era when the strong are respected, the government can compromise even if the economic lifeline is controlled, let alone a suspect.

Little Leiwen looked at Guqi with interest, wanting to see how the other party would leave Meifeng Bank in shame. No one knew better than him the moral of these officials in the Republic of China to bully the weak and fear the strong.

Gu Qi Yu Guang swept the bank guards, and the deputy director's order sounded in his mind, the words "righteous" and "reasonable" were in his mind. He silently lifted the corner of his clothes and took out a gun and aimed at Xiao Leiwen, and gave a cold order.

"The Military Commission encountered obstacles from unknown personnel during its performance of official duties. According to the "Regulations on Punishment of Obstruction of Public Affairs", now I order that everyone close their insurance and be ready to shoot and fight back at any time."

"You can't"

“shut up!”

Guqi interrupted Little Leiwen with an angry shout, and his right thumb pulled the safety on the left side of the rear of the Walter pistol sleeve, his index finger tightly placed on the trigger, his eyes full of murderous intent.

With a hint of disdain, he said word by word: "Mr. Lei Wen, I also have a sentence to tell you that this is the Republic of China. I have the right to arrest anyone. This is the right granted to me by the law.

It is not me who should stop the cliff, but you. Your country's government will not go to war with the country's government because of you, a businessman. If you don't believe it, you can bet on whether my subordinates and I dare to shoot."

Before he finished speaking, the spies pulled the bolt and sleeve and advanced two steps without hesitation. The military orders were like mountains. Not to mention that there were more than a dozen guards ahead, they had to abide by them even if they were swords and fire.

Xiao Leiwen looked at the black muzzle and turned red. He hesitated for a moment and did not speak anymore. On the one hand, it was his own life and on the other hand, it was a customer. How to make a good decision on how to choose, isn't it?

The bank guards were also in panic. They were holding short guns. They had long guns and short guns, and the number was several times higher. They were not so stupid to fight for the bank.

"take away!"

Seeing the other party's reaction, Guqi uttered two words contemptuously, and then pulled Bai Wenzhi, who was hiding beside him, giving the other party a glorious task - to check the passports of the Americans present.

As the saying goes, the military commander is famous. Today, the Military Control Commission came to Meifeng Bank to investigate spy cases and check passports. It has nothing to do with Xu Enzeng and the Central Commissioner. No matter who comes, he will answer this.

After a while, my brother-in-law's mouth was stuffed with a cloth strip, and he put on a hood and pulled it out. The bank guard seemed to have not seen this scene, and continued to "confront the spies without being outdone.

Let’s talk about Little Lei Wen, who lost face in front of so many people, glanced at the spies present with gloomy eyes, turned around and left along the stairs, wondering if he was asking for help from the senior officials of the State Government.

When such a thing happened, Guqi felt that it was no longer insured to freeze the account just because the bank was actually under the control of the Americans, and the other party was fully capable of forcibly unfreezing the account and transferring funds.

Without any hesitation, he directly ordered the bank staff to wire all the money in the account to the Central Bank of the State Government. If his worries come true, the Military Control Commission really has no way to deal with these Americans.

The so-called wire transfer means that after the transfer business is handled, the receiving bank will write a notice to the bank where the payment account is located. After receiving the payment bank, contacts the receiving bank and increases the balance in the account.

As for cash delivery, generally every quarter, both parties will take out the receipt and payment orders to calculate the difference, and once the required physical cash is delivered, the account and the actual account are consistent, so that the transaction is completed.

In order to ensure that the funds are implemented on the books, after the wire transfer notice of Meifeng Bank was issued, Guqi asked the spy to immediately drive to the Central Bank to handle business, while he was staring at Meifeng.

At the same time, he used his own channels to contact the staff of the Central Bank and asked the other party to send someone here to hand over the cash immediately after receiving the wire transfer notice.

Two hours later, the Central Bank's accountant walked out of the treasury of Meifeng Bank with several large suitcases and returned under the escort of a team of spies. Xu Enzeng's small treasury was completely emptied.

It wasn't right. Guqi also left a fiat currency with the other party. He was very particular about this. Then he led the team to leave Meifeng, Bai Wenzhi threw away his passport and followed him and escaped.

The two of them exchanged a few greetings at the bank gate. The frightened old Bai jumped into the car and ran away, fearing that the Military Control Commission would let him and his subordinates do any offensive work.

Gu Qi looked at the smoke and dust rolled up by the police car, and got into the car and said, "I must report the matter between Xu Enzeng's brother-in-law and Xiao Leiwen immediately, especially the latter. The blame is too big and he can't take it."

In fact, he guessed very accurately. When he came to Zuo Chong's office, Deputy Director Zuo, who had always been strong, was standing at the desk, bowing his head and saying something to the other end of the phone.

"Yes, commissioner, we are enforcing the law reasonably."

"Yeah, it's really related to the case."

"Okay, I understand, I will never commit any more in the future."

Zuo Chong said all his good things, and then he fooled someone. After the other party hung up the phone, he sat back on the stool and rubbed his face. He pointed his fingers at Gu Qi weakly and asked helplessly.

"Lao Gu, why are you so serious and reasonable? Why is the scene so big? You are facing an American with a gun. You can't do this in the future. The commission scolded me.

If there is no one around you in the future, you will deal with it all. Anyway, the public security in the mountain city is so chaotic, and if something happens, Lao Bai will take responsibility."

Gu Qi leaned over and replied: "Okay, Deputy Director, Xiao Leiwen is really too arrogant. Knowing our identity, he still let his subordinates stop the action. There is nothing he can do about humiliating.

There was no real conflict, and the task you assigned was successfully completed. But for security reasons, I asked Meifeng Bank to transfer all the funds in the account to the Central Bank of China.

The amount is not small, with a total of 500,000 US dollars, 40,000 US dollars and 10,000 pounds. According to the account book, this is likely to be just a month's gain, and the previous one was transferred by the person named Xu.

The money is collected using our bureau’s account. Without the permission of you and the bureau’s officer, no one can move the money. In addition, Xu Enzeng’s brother-in-law was arrested by us. How should we deal with it?"

Zuo Chong's expression was strange. He was also very lucky when talking about this brother-in-law. His second sister was Xu Enzeng's wife, and his eldest sister was Xu Enzeng's favorite outdoor room. He was worthy of being a family and was not at all.

After thinking about it, he gave an answer: "Leave it to Gui Youguang for treatment, and get all the people's money collected by the other party. The bureau has recently purchased a batch of radio stations, which is just short of funds.

If you take it from the people and use it for the people, just treat it as the contribution made by Xu Enzeng and his family to the anti-Japanese cause. I will ask the commission for the contributions of Lao Xu from the commission. This must be kind."

After saying that, he and Guqi looked at each other and laughed loudly. The office was filled with joy. There was nothing happier in the world than using the money from the Central Government to do the military affairs.

When they were happy, Xu Enzeng's head was buzzing. His main room and the outer room knelt on the ground, holding his pants without letting go, and cried and asked him to rescue his brother.
