Spy Wars: Get the Predator equipment at the beginning

In just less than three months, the Japanese's counterfeiting project of the legal currency template progressed so quickly that it was beyond Zhang Yunhe's expectations.

Printing counterfeit money is not a simple task. It is purely a technical job. If the technology is not up to standard, there will be discrepancies in the imitation. If you hold a counterfeit money in your hand, you can tell whether it is real or fake if you pay a little attention.

If you want it to be usable, it has to be at least obviously fake.

It is obvious that Akamatsu is a person who strives for perfection, otherwise the fake legal tender printed with the third template could be put on the market now.

Zhang Yunhe knew that Chisong wanted to forge counterfeit banknotes that were so real that they could be mistaken for the real thing, so that he could solve the problem once and for all. In that case, the credit and financial system built up by the legal tender in the past five years would completely collapse.

Now that we know that the Japanese designed the template for counterfeit legal tender here and may print fake legal tender on a large scale in the future to disrupt the financial market and undermine the credit of the legal tender, Zhang Yunhe did not act rashly.

First of all, the Japanese are not very satisfied with the existing counterfeit legal currency templates. They will continue to research templates with higher imitation technology that can be indistinguishable from the real ones.

Even if sabotage is carried out now, it will not be a big blow to the Japanese. As long as the losses are not too great, they can gather another group of people to continue secretly researching and imitating in other places.

If we really want to take action, we have to wipe them out when the Japanese have made a major breakthrough and have just produced a counterfeit legal tender template that is indistinguishable from the real thing.

By then, the Japanese had invested huge amounts of money, but ultimately failed.

Moreover, Zhang Yunhe did not intend to do it himself this time. The Blue Shirts Society had already invested manpower, material resources and funds to investigate this matter. Since the Blue Shirts Society had already intervened, he did not need to steal Yu Shuinong's limelight. He could just provide intelligence to the Blue Shirts Society and make some money in the process.

After quietly withdrawing from the Sanyo Mold Foundry, Zhang Yunhe drove back to Ishida Villa.

It was just past 11 o'clock in the evening. The sound of Zhang Yunhe coming upstairs was heard by Ishida Ryoko, who was still awake. She sat up and saw Zhang Yunhe pushing open the bedroom door and coming in.

"Why did you come back early today?" Ryoko said as she stood up to take off Zhang Yunhe's coat and hang it on the hanger.

Zhang Yunhe said, "We finished work early today, why aren't you asleep yet?"

"I'm just getting ready for bed!" Liangzi said casually. When she was undressing Zhang Yunhe, she smelled a special smell on his clothes.

"Why do you smell like metal, mixed with some paper and ink? Where did you go at night?" Ryoko asked curiously.

"Your nose is quite sharp. I went to Yangshupu area to perform official duties at night. Don't ask about official matters. There are confidentiality regulations!" Zhang Yunhe said.

"Hello!" Ryoko agreed.

After Zhang Yunhe showered and returned to the bedroom, as soon as he got into bed, Liangzi squeezed in and leaned against his chest, chatting. "Isn't that strange? Yesterday, I was shopping in the concession, and I bought a lot of things with one hundred French francs. But today, I'm shopping in the Chinese area, and the same one hundred French francs can only buy a little bit. The price difference between the concession and the Chinese area is huge!"

Zhang Yunhe also knew this. This situation occurred after the Japanese recently ordered the forced devaluation of the French currency in the occupied areas. However, the prices in the concession could not always be so low. They should soon be on par with those in the Chinese area. After all, merchants are not stupid.

Zhang Yunhe said, "This is normal. In a few days, the prices in the concession will also rise until they are almost the same as those in the Chinese area. After all, the French currency is worthless. Merchants in the concession won't be stupid enough to sell at a loss. They purchase their raw materials from the Chinese area and use French currency!"

"Furthermore, the Chinese territory will introduce new currency to replace the legal tender after a period of time. As the war progresses and continues, the legal tender will continue to depreciate!"

Ryoko asked curiously, "Why are the prices in the Chinese area and the concession so different these days?"

Zhang Yunhe then briefly introduced the Japanese strategy to destroy the economy of the Chinese area.

After hearing this, Ryoko asked, "If we just force the currency to devalue, I'm afraid it won't be enough. The new currency has no credibility. People would rather barter than use the new currency!"

"Of course. They're also planning to mass-produce counterfeit fiat currency to impact the fiat currency market and undermine the fiat currency's credit system and financial markets. They're currently researching the templates for minting fiat currency!"

After hearing this, Ryoko seemed to be thinking about something.

After work the next day, Zhang Yunhe contacted Ma Dazhi by phone.

"We've found the location where the Japanese were researching and counterfeiting the legal tender templates. It's at the Sanyo Mold Foundry in Yangshupu. According to the information I received, they've already produced the third version of the template. This template has fewer flaws, only two or three. If you hold the printed price in your hand without paying close attention, it's really hard to tell it's fake."

"However, the Japanese high-ranking officials are still not satisfied with this template. They want to imitate it and make a more realistic one, or even print counterfeit currency that is indistinguishable from the real thing. Feel free to telegraph this news to Jiangzhou."

Ma Dazhi agreed on the phone: "I understand. I will find a time today to spread the news."

When Zhang Yunhe was talking to Ma Dazhi on a virtual phone in the police office, Honma Ryoko had already left the house and got into a taxi.

The taxi business was very good at that time, and there was a great demand for taxis in Shanghai. Although rickshaws accounted for the mainstream of transportation in Shanghai, there were also many taxi companies that served high-income people and those who did not have much money but liked to pretend to be rich.

"Go to Yangshupu"

"Okay, ma'am!" the driver agreed and started the car and drove towards Yangshupu.

Just over ten minutes later, the taxi brought Ryoko Honma to Yangshupu. The driver asked as he drove, "Madam, where are you going in Yangshupu?"

"Drive slower and drive around the streets of Yangshupu. Let me see the environment here. You won't lose any money," said Ryoko Honma.

The driver agreed upon hearing this: "Okay, ma'am!"

Ryoko Honma took out a folded map from her purse and quickly found her current location by comparing it with the road signs outside the window.

"Master, are you familiar with Yangshupu?" asked Ryoko Honma.

The driver smiled as he drove and said, "Of course, I came to China 20 years ago and I'm very familiar with this place. Wherever you want to go, just tell me the address and I'll definitely take you there."

Ryoko Honma thought for a moment and asked, "Are there many factories in Yangshupu?"

"Yes, there are many factories here, and many of them were founded by merchants from the empire!"

"Then do you know how many mold foundries there are here?"

The driver replied, "I know that. A mold foundry requires a high level of technology and machinery. It's not something that ordinary businessmen can open. There are only three mold foundries in Yangshupu."

"Oh really? Take me there!"
