Yamamoto Xianzo's idea was very bold. He used the Japanese agents lurking in the mountain city to steal the legal tender engravings. As far as he knew, there were two sets of legal tender engravings. One set was in the mint in the mountain city. In order to prevent bombing, the mint was built in a cave. The other set was hidden in the underground vault of the Bank of China headquarters building in the mountain city.

Of course, the security in these two places is naturally very strict. It is impossible for outsiders to access the engravings. Only by bribing insiders who have access to the engravings can they steal the engravings.

If the engraving plate could be stolen from any place, even if the mountain city discovered it later, it would be impossible to replace the engraving plate and invalidate the previously issued legal tender. After all, the circulation volume is huge, which is definitely unrealistic.

Even if they wanted to change the engraving, it would take a long time to make the engraving. They could also take advantage of this time to print a huge amount of legal tender and disrupt the financial order in the Kuomintang-controlled areas.

Of course, the most important point is that this engraving is authentic. As long as the paper used to make legal tender is improved, the printed banknotes will be real legal tender, and they can be used smoothly. The effect will definitely be better than the engraving carved in Japan.

Yuan Ye was also surprised when he heard this. Yamamoto was really creative and actually came up with such a plan. But it must be said that this plan was indeed feasible.

Of course, the key to this plan is to bribe the people in the mountain city who are keeping the legal currency plates. Who can guarantee that some people will not be dragged into this trap under the huge temptation of money?

So the possibility of success is still very high, but fortunately I know this plan, so I will never let their conspiracy succeed.

Chu Yuntian must be told to take precautions, and he can even take advantage of the Japanese plan to catch the Japanese spies.

Kagezawa Tadaaki was obviously impressed by the plan and agreed immediately. He would arrange relevant personnel to carry out the operation and named it "Mining Operation."

Yuan Ye knew that the personnel mobilized by Ying Zuo Zhen Zhao must be the lone wolf team of the Special High Police lurking in the mountain city or the Silver Fox team of Iwai Mansion lurking in the mountain city.

It is more likely that the Silver Fox Group will be used because this group is better at subversion and has many precedents of successfully subverting Kuomintang officials and is very experienced.

This is exactly what Kagesa Tadaaki thought. He had already decided that the Silver Fox Team from Iwai Mansion was the only one who could do it. He was considering summoning Iwai Yuichi alone tomorrow morning and asking him to implement the plan as soon as possible.

Yamamoto Senzo also said that he planned to select a secret location in Shanghai to open a mint, and that the printing machines would be purchased from Germany. Printing banknotes in Shanghai would be more efficient, saving the trouble of printing banknotes in Japan and then shipping them to China, which would waste a lot of time due to the long journey. However, the location has not been decided yet, and he is currently working on this.

Ying Zuo Zhen Zhao agreed because he had the same idea. When he was negotiating with Wang Jianming and Zhou Fuhai, the two also proposed that after the new government was established, in order to compete with the mountain city for economic sovereignty, open up financial resources, and solve the funding problem for the government, it would be necessary to establish a mint in Shanghai to print and issue new currency for circulation in the occupied areas. Ying Zuo Zhen Zhao also agreed with this idea.

He felt that the two sides could cooperate to open this mint. Of course, this mint must be controlled by the Japanese. In this way, the economic lifeline of the new government could be in the hands of the Japanese. They would have the final say on what kind of banknotes to issue and how many to issue.

As the chief adviser of the future new government, in his eyes, this so-called new government is a puppet government supported by the Japanese and must serve the Japanese.

Ying Zuo Zhen Zhao not only agreed, but also put forward an idea, because he heard from Wang Jianming that before the occupation of Shanghai, the original mint moved to the rear area, and some technicians did not move with the factory and remained in Shanghai.

Now that a mint has been established in Shanghai, these experienced technicians are exactly what they need. Before the mint is established, these technicians can be secretly captured, and work can start immediately as soon as the machines are in place.

Compared with recruiting new workers and then training them, a lot of time can be saved.

Yamamoto Senzo was very happy and said that General Kagezawa was more thoughtful.

Yuan Ye couldn't help but frown when he heard this. He had to admit that the Japs' plan was indeed very thorough, but now that he knew about it, there was no way he could let them succeed. He had to find a way to transfer all these technicians. Although he couldn't stop the Japs from setting up a mint, he could at least slow down their pace and create some obstacles for them.

Of course, the key is to know where these technicians live and transfer them before the Japanese, but how can we know the addresses of these technicians?
