The second verification plan will be implemented soon.

As Dwig estimated, the plan went very smoothly. German intelligence personnel successfully exchanged 90,000 US dollars in Swiss banks with a few bundles of pounds. You should know that at this time, the US dollar can be directly exchanged from the central bank for gold (one dollar can be exchanged for 0.888671 grams of gold).

So this can almost be regarded as a direct exchange to wealth.

When the Security Bureau received this information, it cheered again... The nature of the successful exchange was essentially different from the previous one, because the intelligence personnel clearly observed that the Swiss bank staff had different expressions, and they even avoided it for a while, obviously in order to hold a meeting to discuss how to solve the exchange behavior of "suspected counterfeit banknotes".

But in the end they had no choice but to accept the pounds... They had no evidence to prove the counterfeit money, so they just knocked off their teeth and swallowed them into their stomachs.

For Qin Chuan and others, this actually confirms one thing from another: the British side does not have an effective way to distinguish the authenticity of these pounds.

"But we are not sure yet!" Colonel Koch said again while excited: "Because this may be a hidden compromise made by Switzerland under some pressure, such as political or military considerations!"

Although Colonel Koch did not explain further, Qin Chuan knew what this said meant.

At this time, Switzerland can be said to be one of the few neutral countries that were not occupied or controlled by Germany.

But there is a saying that "How can there be a complete egg under the collapse of the nest?" The reason why Germany did not occupy Switzerland was not because of the attitude that Switzerland had put in...sending hundreds of thousands of troops to defend the border was not because the Swiss army had strong combat effectiveness, nor because Switzerland stated that it would remain neutral in the war.

In fact, at this time, Germany only needed to send a legion to occupy the entire territory of Switzerland in a few days. Even Hitler estimated that Switzerland would not dare to resist... The reason is that the Swiss army is simply not worth mentioning compared to Germany, and most of the surrounding countries and regions are under the control of Germany. It is almost a "siege war" that Germany wants to launch a war against Switzerland.

The reason why he did not do this was because Hitler considered that not occupying Switzerland might be more advantageous than occupying it.

What can you get by occupying Switzerland and Germany?

Switzerland's failure to cooperate, so Germany had to send extra troops to garrison, and like other protectors, they had to deal with underground guerrillas.

On the contrary, Germany has many benefits if it does not occupy Switzerland.

For example, Switzerland's comprehensive cooperation... For example, opening up the Saint Gothard and Xinjinlong tunnels from Germany to Italy, and producing arms for Germany.

Of course, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is actually Switzerland's strategy.

As the saying goes, "There are only interests between countries." Switzerland did this to make Hitler understand one thing: as long as you don't attack Switzerland, you can negotiate anything, arms, supplies, and transportation, and provide you with everything you can. Once you attack Switzerland, it may not be the case.

Switzerland even made a tough stance: the Germans had to pass the two tunnels mentioned above to transport materials and troops to Italy. Switzerland had already planted a large amount of explosives in the tunnel. Once the German army invaded Switzerland, the Swiss would immediately blow it up, which would interrupt the only connection between Germany and Italy, and the consequences would be unimaginable. This was something Hitler didn't want to see.

Therefore, after balancing these interest relationships, Hitler believed that there was no need to occupy it.

Similarly, Sweden also opened up its own transportation and even directly helped Germany transport troops and supplies.

This is a helpless choice made by a small country sandwiched between the struggles of big powers, and it is undoubtedly the right way to do it from the perspective of national interests. But the so-called "neutral country" is just a fig leaf.

In this case, it is also possible that the Swiss banks accept these pounds not because of the pound itself, but because of pressure from Germany.

However, it is not difficult to verify this, because a few days later, a counterfeit banknote worth 300,000 pounds was also shipped to London.

On this day, everyone held their breath and waited for news from London.

Things seemed a bit surprising, because the first batch of redemption should have been completed half an hour ago, when the telegram of the redemption result should have been received, but the correspondent had no news.

"Is the exchanger a British?" Qin Chuan asked.

"Yes!" Colonel Koch replied: "A bankrupt businessman bought by intelligence officers, and we gave him two thousand pounds!"

"Are fake banknotes separated by pounds of different denominations?" Qin Chuan asked again.

"Of course!" Colonel Koch replied.

This is because Dwig's reminder that in order to make the exchange more concealed, intelligence personnel mixed fake banknotes into real banknotes, and there were banknotes of different denominations.

But in fact, Qin Chuan also knows that this will not have any effect.

The reason is that it was a war period, and Britain was under the full blockade of Germany, and it also implemented a rationing system, so it is impossible for ordinary people to carry and even rarely own so many pounds. To exchange it will definitely arouse suspicion from bank staff.

However, in some ways, this is exactly what Qin Chuan hopes for, and Qin Chuan wants to see how the British side will deal with this batch of counterfeit banknotes.

After waiting for about twenty minutes, the correspondent finally received a message. After the translator translated, he reported excitedly: "The exchange was successful!"

Everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief to celebrate each other. Although this was expected, they still felt a little worried.

It is obvious that the UK chooses to calm down the issue, and they do not want the impact of this matter to expand.

But this approach obviously cannot solve the problem, because it has allowed Colonel Koch and Qin Chuan to confirm that this version of counterfeit banknotes can enter mass production.

The news soon reached British Prime Minister Churchill.

Churchill looked at the telegram and looked as if he was dead. Then he asked two questions.

The first question is: "How large?"

"The scale is not large!" The consultant replied: "The Swiss bank has a total of 500,000 pounds and the Bank of England has a total of 300,000 pounds!"

After thinking about it, Churchill, who was holding the telegram, asked again: "All of them are worth 10 pounds?"

"Yes!" The consultant nodded.

Churchill smoked violently with a cigar in his mouth, and he frowned in the smoke.

He knew that this was a dangerous signal from Germany, or it could be said that it was a test by the Germans. Next, it was time for counterfeit banknotes to flood into the UK on a large scale.

After a while of silence, Churchill asked, "Is it possible to recover the pound of 10 pounds worth of pounds?"
Chapter completed!
