In terms of politics, after more than a year of rectification after the defeat of the Kuomintang last year, although from the perspective of political opponents, the political corruption has become much more intense, Congress has been suspended, democracy has disappeared, and the power of Yuan Shikai, as the president, is almost

Emperor. However, the political situation has stabilized. The modernization reforms inherited from the New Deal are proceeding steadily. The reform of the judicial and civil service systems is gradually becoming formal. At least the regulations have been formulated. The entire situation, in the words of many politicians, is "

The country is initially determined."

But now Japan is trying to get involved in China when the great powers have no time to look east. Doesn't this upset Yuan Shikai and make him angry? But knowing China's strength, he knows that diplomacy depends on military power.

rather than emotions.

“drink tea”

Another two words came out of Yuan Shikai's mouth again. At this time, he could not give any answer. Refuse, does China have the strength to refuse? Accept, how could such humiliation be accepted? At this time, the only option was to sit down.

It's just dragging it on.

"Yuan Shikai can delay, but we can't."

Looking at the intelligence sent by Zhao Pingpu, Li Zicheng sighed. Just like what happened in history, the Japanese really refused to let China take back Jiao'ao. But what could Yuan Shikai do? Diplomatically, at this time, the British would definitely not go to China for China.

If you offend Japan, you can only protest in the end.

But considering the overall interests of the country, he could only sit back and watch Japan invade and occupy Jiao'ao, but he couldn't. Jiao'ao was really... too close to Lianyun.

"Master"

As he spoke, Zhao Pingpu took out a folder from the package.

"Operation Bernhard has been successful"

"oh"

Overjoyed, Li Zicheng quickly took the folder and saw four denominations of pounds sterling: 5, 10, 20, and 50. Operation Bernhard was the "operation code name" he directly applied, and more than twenty years later,

Just like the Germans - copying pounds, they handed over this task to the Security Department of the People's Republic of China, and the Security Department invited dozens of technicians from the Lianyun Banknote Printing Bureau, and it took only a few days to create

With the signature and year template of the current Chancellor of the Exchequer, as well as tens of thousands of special British pound papers in the submarine, it was possible to quickly print out fake British pounds.

I took out the four pounds and took a closer look. The pound banknotes in my hand had obviously been aged and looked like 70% new old coins. There were even pin holes in the upper left corner. This is the British habit of using banknotes.

Li Zicheng raised his head and looked at Zhao Pingpu, smiling.

“How many can we make in a month now?”

"Master, the printing workshop of the Security Department can print 12,000 pieces of banknote paper a month. Each piece of banknote printing paper can print 8 banknotes, but only half of them are perfect grade."

"Is that enough paper?"

"Now the papermaking workshop is using old linen cloth to trial-produce special paper according to the process. Now it has made corresponding progress. I believe that enough paper will be provided soon."

Nodding with satisfaction and putting the pound into the document, Li Zicheng remembered the most important question.

"Does the Investigation Department now have a plan to circulate this money?"

Counterfeit money has been created, but the most important thing is to circulate the money. Only after it is circulated can we recover the money and materials we need.

"Master, I'm afraid we need help from the company."

"company?"

"Yes, Master, we have considered it carefully. Now the company not only has branches in the UK, but also has agents in Singapore, Malaya, Myanmar, India, Egypt, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand and other British colonies and autonomous territories.

If it is utilized, at least three to four million pounds can be circulated every month, and companies can directly use pounds to pay. Now that various countries have restricted the outflow of gold and silver, arbitraging funds is undoubtedly the most realistic."

Listening to Zhao Pingpu's explanation, Li Zicheng nodded. Being able to arbitrage supplies can at least reduce his gold and silver expenses. Now that he needs money, he can exchange it at a British bank in China. In the end, these pounds will have to flow back to the UK. Finally, he explained

road.

"Well, that's good. Please pay attention. You must do a good job of keeping secrets. It would be better to have less circulation and keep a good job of keeping secrets. This kind of thing must not be discovered to be done by us Chinese. You

Let’s see how we can think of a way to draw the matter towards the Germans, so that even if the UK discovers that there are a lot of counterfeit coins on the market, they won’t be suspicious of us.”

There are some things that cannot be acknowledged even if they are beaten to death. The matter that we have to deal with now cannot be acknowledged even if it is beaten to death. Since the British will soon disguise the currencies of Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Turkey, then let the Allies bear this crime.
