Bright Sword: I took Li Yunlong to work in military industry

Kagesa Tadaaki and Inukai Ken realized at the same time that someone was definitely behind the scenes planning to use military cash against the Locust Army.

"I'll report it right away. Can you tell me how many silver dollars our Locust Army has left? Release them first to stabilize the value of our military notes."

Ying Zuo Zhen Zhao pondered for a while and gave his own solution.

"Hai!"

Inukai Ken lowered his head and responded.

"General, if we don't count the sealed ones, our current inventory still has 30 silver dollars and 1 small yellow croakers available for use." Inukai Ken quickly gave the result.

"First, sell 2 silver dollars to stabilize the price of our military notes."

Ying Zuo Zhen Zhao made up his mind immediately.

"Hai!"

"Also, send out all the people from our Mei Agency at the same time. I want to see who dares to go against the king of our locust army!"

A fierce look flashed across Yingzuo Zhenzhao's face. He now felt that a big net was covering him, but he had no idea what this big net was doing. This feeling of frustration made him extremely uncomfortable.

"General, I will go and deploy first."

Yingzuo Zhenzhao waved his hand without saying anything, and continued to hide in the shadow that belonged to him.

......

Inukai Ken brought his men to the Bund streets in Shanghai.

Here he saw many people standing on the street, shaking the silver dollars in their hands, making crisp collision sounds.

He was a little nervous. At least before yesterday, he had not seen anyone buying silver dollars on the street when he passed by.

Why does it feel like it appeared overnight?

He did not rashly try to catch these scalpers on the street, because he knew that those on the surface were just small shrimps, and the real big crocodiles were lurking in the undercurrent.

Inukai Ken found a private room facing the street in a teahouse far away, his eyes watching the silver dollar scalpers downstairs, but his thoughts had drifted to several warehouses deep in the Suzhou River not far away.

That's where the real problem lies.

Inukai Ken frowned. Faced with this fierce attack, he really didn't know what good way to solve it.

Strictly speaking, these warehouses are where the guys in the concession store their goods. In order to gain international support and reputation, he cannot touch these warehouses for the time being, but he is gnashing his teeth in hatred for them.

At the same time, the Japanese have always wanted to break away from Asia and join Europe to show that they have accepted the most advanced culture and system in the world, so they do not want to easily destroy the monetary system they have created.

Even though this military promissory note system was used to suck the blood of China and plunder the hard-earned money of the Chinese people, in many places in the north the Japs even forcibly levied and forced the use of military promissory notes. But this was in Shanghai, and the Japs still wanted to be a little more polite and decent in front of so many foreigners.

However, these people hiding beneath the surface and the traders thousands of miles away do not want them to be so respectable.

Just when Ken Inukai was having a headache, his subordinates came to report the current situation: "Colonel Inukai, the situation is very serious now. The more than 2 silver dollars we just invested did not even make a bubble, but were directly swallowed up.

Logically speaking, since our Locust Army officials are purchasing military bills themselves, some smart guys should be able to see that we are very angry about this and will probably stop exchanging silver dollars.

But I didn’t expect that the price of military notes would continue to fall.”

The Japanese soldier leaned over respectfully beside Inukai Ken and reported the relevant situation to him.

Inukai Ken's face turned pale in an instant. He didn't expect the situation to be so serious.

According to the information we originally had, there should be some people who maliciously purchased silver dollars to short military bills. The funds in their hands should be limited. As long as we use silver dollars to bankrupt these people, the problem at hand will naturally be solved.

However, no one expected that the throughput of the entire market was already so astonishing at this time that 2 silver dollars were thrown in and not even a single drop fell. This showed that it was not just the people behind the scenes who were operating it.

This has already guided people in Shanghai to do this.

This was equivalent to setting off an explosion in the entire Shanghai area, where people began to speculate on silver dollars and devalue military notes.

The wind starts from the tip of the green duckweed and in an instant it blows up into the sky.

Inukai Ken said with a very grim expression: "There is an old Chinese saying, 'When a storm is about to come, the wind will blow all over the building.' Now it is no longer the case, the storm is already here."

He had sufficient information in his hands, and Inukai Ken realized that he was now facing a dilemma.

Even though the Japs themselves despised the military notes issued by the Locust Army, it was, after all, the currency promoted by the Japs in China, and it was also their reputation.

According to Inukai Ken's speculation at this time, someone must have hoarded a large amount of military vouchers in advance, and speculated on silver dollars by purchasing locust army supplies and reselling them. Then he used military vouchers to purchase these silver dollars. When he had enough silver dollars in his hand, the person behind the scenes released these silver dollars at a high price to cash them in. Whether he exchanged them for US dollars or military vouchers, he had already made a lot of money.

According to this idea, Chinese scalpers who speculate on silver dollars can also make money, and the only ones who will be hurt are the Japanese.

Because in this way, the truth that the Japanese were unable to maintain the value of their military notes was completely revealed to everyone, and the Japanese were completely exposed for using this thing to plunder the Chinese people.

Only the little thing was shivering in the cold wind.

When he thought of this, he couldn't accept it at all, and said in a somewhat hysterical voice: "We are still the largest issuer of military vouchers, I don't believe how much supplies they can stockpile?

We can invest the remaining 28 silver dollars in batches, and use our gold reserves if necessary! However, we need to apply to the general for approval before using gold.

In addition, we announced to the public that all goods sold by our company must be settled with our military promissory notes, and silver dollars are not allowed.

Also, anyone who dares to hoard supplies and take advantage of the opportunity to raise prices will be arrested!"

"Hai!"

"By the way, take my official documents and go find the military police stationed here by the Locust Army. I don't believe anyone dares to offend this bad luck!" Inukai Ken's eyes were extremely crazy at this time. He wanted to severely kill the prestige of these people.

Inukai Ken wanted to let these people know that Shanghai was still in the hands of the Japanese.

However, when Inukai Ken issued this order, many things had already changed quietly. Due to the drastic depreciation, ordinary people in Shanghai no longer accepted the Japanese military notes, except for the Japanese joint-stock companies.

It can be said that the moment ordinary people got the military promissory notes, they would think about how to exchange them for physical objects as quickly as possible. Since the Japanese have opened up the joint-stock company as a channel for using military promissory notes, they might as well spend it here.

For a time, all the Japanese companies were packed.
