Chapter 206 Assassination and Fiat Currency

On November 1, 1935, the weather was clear in Jinling.

That morning, the Sixth Plenary Session of the Qingbai Party Central Committee opened, and many officials gathered in front of the first conference hall to take photos.

Seeing that the venue was in chaos, Mr. Qing did not attend because of his excuse of being unwell, David Wang stood in the middle and took a photo.

As soon as the spotlight flashed, a young man suddenly rushed out of the reporter group, pulled out his pistol, and shot Wang repeatedly. Wang Zhongsan fell to the ground.

After the gunshots, Mr. Qing and David Wang's wife ran out of the auditorium one after another. Mr. Qing helped David Wang from the pool of blood. Wang's wife Chen Biyu saw that Mr. Qing was not present when taking photos, and suspected that the matter was planned by him. She immediately cried: "Mr. Qing, if you don't ask David to do it, just explain it. Why do you have to do this?"

Mr. Qing was speechless and very embarrassed.

The assassination of David Wang was carefully planned by the assassination of the king Wang Yaqiao in the Demon City.

Wang Yaqiao was entrusted by Li Jishen and Chen Mingshu to prepare to assassinate Mr. Qing during the meeting. This assassination was deployed 10 days before the Sixth Plenary Session of the Qingbai Party, and Sun Fengming volunteered to carry out the mission. The night before the charity, everyone held a farewell to Sun Fengming in the small attic of Chenguang News Agency.

On November 1, Sun Fengming walked into the venue with a press card hanging on his chest. Seeing that Mr. Qing had not appeared, he followed the second plan and rushed out and shot David Wang.

At the same time, he was seriously injured by the guards and was on the verge of death after being sent to the hospital.

The head of the matter was anxious to chase the envoy behind him and asked, "Why do you need to assassinate President Wang?"

Sun Fengming replied: "Please look at the map. Is the entire Northeast and North China still ours?"

He asked again: "Why are you assassinating now?"

Sun replied: "After the Sixth Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee is held, we must sign it. If we don't fight, we will destroy the country and become a slave to the country."

David Wang is a powerful and powerful figure in modern Chinese history. He was born on May 4, 1883 and his ancestral home is Wuyuan, Anhui (now belonging to Jiangxi).

When he was young, David Wang was born with beautiful eyes and smart eyes. He was known as one of the "beautiful men" of the Republic of China. He passed the exam for scholarship in the spring of 1902, and in 1904 he passed the exam for official fees to stay in Japan, and went to Japan University of Political Science and Law to study abroad. In Japan, he began to join the revolution and became Mr. Sun's most capable assistant.

He spoke clearly, organizedly, and ups and downs during his speech, and became an idol of many young people for a while. During his speech in Nanyang, a daughter of a wealthy overseas Chinese named Chen Biyu, who put aside her studies and chased David Wang's itinerary and listened to Wang's wonderful speech. The two got married in 1908. At that time, David Wang was 26 years old and Chen Biyu was only 17 years old.

In the spring of 1932, David Wang came to power as the president of the Executive Yuan, proposing the policy of "resisting on one side and negotiating on the other side". He advocated that when a conflict between China and Japan, China should "tolerate as much as possible, and make every effort to make concessions, indicating that we have no intention of provoking." Under the leadership of this idea, in the following years, he betrayed China's sovereignty.

It is precisely because of this that the assassination was caused. He was then sent to the hospital for emergency treatment and escaped death, but a bullet remained in his body and often inflamed, causing him to die several years later.

In fact, if he had died at that time, it would have been a good thing.

After this incident, Qin Di wrote a letter to Wang Yaqiao, vaguely speaking, and the implication was: "In the next year, you will have a disaster in the south, why not go to the north to avoid it?"

In another year, Wang Yaqiao will be killed by his sworn brother Dai Li in Guangxi. The reason is that the two have different ideas. Wang Yaqiao wants to kill Mr. Qing, and Dai Li firmly wants to protect Mr. Qing.

If Wang Yaqiao leaves the south and throws into Baota Mountain, he might be able to create a new world.

Although Wang Yaqiao, as the "assassination king", took measures that were incompatible with Baotashan, his thoughts were very similar to those of the anti-Japanese concept. Moreover, he had privately sponsored the underground party to run newspapers and sent Deli to the northwest to contact him. Because of this, he concluded after his death: "I made great contributions to the fight against Japan, and I was not guilty of killing the enemy. I had no doubts about the minor matters, and I was not confused about major matters."

After Wang Yaqiao received the letter, he read it and burned the letter.

He was a little arrogant and did not take Master Qin's reminder to heart.

He is smart and travels around the world for many years. He has been surrounded many times, but he cleverly avoided him and then assassinated many big shots, so he felt a little arrogant in his heart. Besides, he was unwilling to give up the powerful Axe Gang.

At this time, the Axe Gang had become the "Iron Blood Anti-Trait Group" and the organization scale was very large.

Moreover, Wang Yaqiao received support from Li Jishen, Li Zongren, Bai Chongxi and others, and was not at the end of his life. He just didn't expect to fall into Dai Li's trap.

Qin Di did not wake him up directly. "The way of heaven is good for reincarnation, who will the heaven spare?" As the king of assassination, even if the motives and methods do not conform to the way of heaven, it is normal to be killed in the end.

A few days later, the Republic of China government announced a major policy: abolish the silver dollar and adopt fiat currency! The three banks of the central government, China and transportation will buy and sell foreign exchange without restrictions.

This move caused a stir in the economic field.

Before this, China had long adopted the silver standard. Before the "abolition of the two and the times changed to the Yuan Dynasty" in 1933, silver and silver dollars were actually used together.

The United States abandoned the gold standard in April 1933 and then passed the Silver Acquisition Act.

The United States' silver policy has caused a fatal blow to China, causing China, which has suffered from the low silver price to fall into a disaster of high silver prices, outflow of silver, and deflation. All of this ultimately led to the collapse of the national economy, the national tax revenue decreased, the national treasury was empty, the expenditure was difficult, the fiscal panic, and the social crisis deepened, thus affecting the ruling foundation of the National Government.

In the crisis of China's economy on the verge of collapse, the government decided to abandon the silver standard and implement the fiat currency policy. However, due to insufficient monetary reserves and shortage of foreign exchange, it is necessary to obtain the support of British and American imperialism so that currency reform can proceed smoothly.

China initially placed its hopes on Americans, but in order to avoid conflicts with Japan, the United States adopted a negative attitude of "non-cooperation" towards China's currency reform.

Britain was the first old-fashioned Western capitalist country to invade China. It has its own special economic interests in China and its attitude is much more proactive than the United States.

In September 1935, the British government sent chief economic adviser Li Zilus to visit China. After many secret talks with Li Zilus, the National Government finally officially announced the implementation of currency reform on November 3, 1935.

On November 5, the central bank announced the fiat currency ratio to the pound: 1 fiat currency = 1 shilling 2.5 pence. This regulation marked the National Government's joining the pound group.

The United States was very dissatisfied with this and forced the National Government to sign the China-US Silver Agreement through external pressure. According to the agreement, the U.S. government acquired 50 million ounces of silver from China at a price of 50 cents per ounce; fiat currency is pegged to the US dollar, and fiat currency = $30.

To be honest, China's purpose of introducing currency reform is good, but the timing is very bad. It happened to happen that the Japanese army invaded China, and a large area of ​​China's territory was lost and the economy completely collapsed, which led to the failure of the fiat currency.

The Qingbai Party government adopted an inflation policy, which caused the fiat currency to depreciate sharply.

In 1937, you can buy 2 cows for 100 fiat currency, a pig in 1939, a bag of flour in 1941, a chicken in 1943, two eggs in 1945, and only one piece of paper in 1949. This shows how ridiculous it is!

The effect of the implementation of the fiat currency is that the official banks plunder the wealth of the people and turn people's savings into vanish.

Although Qin Di knew the trend of the fiat currency, he would not take the opportunity to make money from the national crisis, because the failure of the fiat currency is a tragedy of the country and the nation. Even if the four major families plundered the wealth of the people, wouldn’t their final outcome be destined? How much wealth can they take away when they fled to the island? All they can take away is gold and silver, and paper money cannot take away. Land, factories, houses, and these things are always left on the mainland.

In such a huge China, what is really valuable is more than 9.6 million square kilometers of land and 40 million people who work hard and are creative. In addition, all wealth is drizzling.
