Spy Wars: Get the Predator equipment at the beginning

After finishing the call, Akamatsu walked out of the office and saw the team leader directing the Japanese and workers to clear the rubble. He immediately called him over and asked, "How much French currency has been printed in the past few days?"

"More than 300 million were printed," the team leader replied.

"Where is it? Take me to see it!" said Akamatsu.

The team leader's expression froze. He hesitated and stammered, "Sir, the warehouse where the banknotes are stored was broken into by the Blue Shirts Society and set on fire, so, so..."

"So nothing was left after it was burned, right?" Akamatsu grabbed the captain by the collar and shouted.

"Hayi!"

"Baga, Baga Yalu! You, you are all good-for-nothings and trash. You didn't even know someone broke in and set fire to your house!" Akamatsu was almost mad with rage. It was bad enough that the equipment and factory buildings were blown up, but the banknotes printed in the past few days were also burned.

"Hayi!"

Zhang Yunhe came over and said hypocritically, "Sir, now that things have come to this, there's no point in blaming your colleagues. Now let's just hope the template is still in the ruins!"

"I hope so, eh!"

There were many people cleaning up the rubble, and it took only over an hour to clear the rubble. The parts of the equipment were also turned out, but they were completely unusable due to the explosion. The key point was that the template was not found.

When Akamatsu learned that there were no templates among the equipment parts that had been cleared out, his eyes went dark and he fell backwards.

"Sir, sir, what's wrong with you? Come quickly, lift Sir Chisong into the car and send him to the hospital for emergency treatment, quickly!" Zhang Yunhe shouted in a panic.

The next night, Zhang Yunhe hid in the study as usual to listen to the surveillance recordings.

"Director, there's news. Our insider at the Blue Shirts Society headquarters has reported that the template has been stolen by the underground party. Now Jiangzhou is sending people to negotiate with them and ask them to hand over the template."

Li Qun's voice came from the headset: "What is the attitude of the underground party?"

"The details of the negotiations are still unclear, but it will be very difficult for us and the Japanese to get the template back. Moreover, their negotiations are very confidential, and our insiders can't get in touch with them at all!"

"It seems the Japanese can only suffer in silence this time!"

"Who says it isn't?"

Li Qun then added, "Oh right, the Japanese have lost their templates this time. Their plan to print a large amount of counterfeit French currency to undermine its credibility and disrupt the economy has failed. They're naturally not willing to accept this. I heard they've decided to release the Central Reserve Bank Notes ahead of schedule!"

"What? Central Bank notes are going to be issued? Doesn't that mean the fiat currency we have is useless?"

Li Qun said, "How can it be useless? We can use it to pay off the Central Bank Notes. Anyway, the Japanese have already decided to use Central Bank Notes to replace the legal tender in the occupied areas. But there will be a buffer period. I heard it will take a year. After a year, the legal tender will not be allowed to circulate in the occupied areas!"

"Oh, right, the Japanese have also announced that merchants can purchase supplies in the occupied areas and sell them in the Kuomintang-controlled areas. They can also allow people from there to come and buy supplies with French currency and sell them back in the Kuomintang-controlled areas!"

"Huh? What do these Japanese mean? I can't understand their decision!" asked the subordinate.

Li Qun said, "To be honest, I don't understand it either. I'm not an economics major, and anyone who doesn't study economics wouldn't understand anything like this!"

After listening to the surveillance recording, Zhang Yunhe immediately understood the Japanese conspiracy.

It seems that the Japanese plan to print counterfeit money has failed, and they have come up with another vicious plan.

Allowing merchants to purchase goods in occupied areas with French currency and then resell them in Kuomintang-controlled areas – what conspiracy is there? Of course there is a conspiracy!

You must know that supplies in the Kuomintang-controlled areas are now in short supply. If merchants purchase supplies from the occupied areas and transport them to the Kuomintang-controlled areas, the prices will definitely increase exponentially, which will raise prices in the Kuomintang-controlled areas.

To some extent, this has also caused the fiat currency to depreciate to a certain extent.

"No, no, this probably has more than just one purpose. The Japanese can use this method to obtain a large amount of French currency from the Kuomintang-controlled areas. So what do they need so much French currency for? Are they going to use French currency to purchase supplies in the Kuomintang-controlled areas? But they have to be able to transport it there!"

Zhang Yunhe lit a cigarette, puzzled by the purpose of the Japanese devils' move.

The next morning, the Jiangzhou Blue Shirts Society headquarters received a top-secret telegram from Higanbana.

"Yuzuo, Higanhua sent a secret message with the latest intelligence. The Japanese are not resigned to the fact that their printing factory was bombed and their templates were stolen. They plan to issue Central Bank notes in advance and have them replace the legal tender as the currency in the occupied areas!"

"The red spider lily reminds us to take early action, otherwise we will suffer great losses!"

Yu Shuinong took the telegram, read it, and put it on the table, saying, "I already know about this matter, and I have made other arrangements. It won't be long before I make the Japanese lose more than they gain!"

Yu Shuinong had long ago sent people to contact the traitors who were responsible for the printing and issuance of the Central Reserve Bank's notes. He instigated a major traitor and obtained the printing plates and paper for the Central Reserve Bank's notes.

Not long after, Jiangzhou printed a large number of Central Reserve Bank notes. When the traitors issued the Central Reserve Bank notes, Jiangzhou also found a way to put a large number of Central Reserve Bank notes into the market in the occupied areas, making the Central Reserve Bank notes become waste paper as soon as they were issued.

The issuance of the Central Bank's notes did not achieve the desired effect or purpose that the devils expected, which made them even more angry.

Two months later, in September 1940, the factory buildings in Hong Kong Island were basically completed. James recruited a group of technicians and engineers who had worked in the arsenal with high salaries from the Joker and came to Hong Kong Island.

After receiving the telegram, Zhang Yunhe immediately made arrangements in Shanghai and rushed to Hong Kong Island. He took out large quantities of equipment from his backpack and stored them in the dock warehouse. Then he asked Tian Tao to take people to transport the production equipment for steelmaking, metallurgy, and manufacturing of guns, cannons, and ammunition to the newly built factory in batches for installation.

"The piles of metal ore obtained from Gong Er and Chen Yucai were also brought by Zhang Yunhe using his backpack and placed in the open air.

By mid-November 1940, after more than two months of equipment debugging and trial production, the steel company and metal smelting plant officially started production. The scene of steel ingots and alloy steels coming off the production line aroused cheers from all managers and workers.

"Go test the hardness and toughness of the steel to see if it is suitable for making guns!" Zhang Yunhe picked up a steel ingot and handed it to a technician.

"Yes, boss!"

A few minutes later, the technician removed the steel ingot from the testing equipment and said, "Boss, everyone, the steel we produced has the hardness and toughness to make guns and cannons!"

Everyone present was encouraged, and Zhang Yunhe immediately announced that the produced materials would be sent to the gun factory.
