This is a "China Daily".
The title of the "New Fourth Army Disobedience and the Chongqing Government destroyed the Great Wall", saying that the Chongqing government "suppressed the Communist Party" and criticized the Red Party for "undermining peace" and called on the people to support the Nanjing government's "coexistence and prosperity in China and Japan."
Cheng Qianfan flipped over and there was a "New Report" from Nanjing on the table, which was the "public mouthpiece" recognized by the Wang puppet regime. The newspaper published a statement from the Wang puppet government, accusing the Red Party of "inciting people to resist Japan" and praising the Chongqing National Party for "purposing military discipline." It is obvious that this is an attempt to alienate the relationship between Yanzhou and Chongqing.
"The Red Bandits have suffered a big fall this time." Cheng Qianfan put down the newspaper and said with a tsk.
He said to Liu Xia, "I only knew that such a big thing happened when I saw the newspaper on the boat. Sister Xia, you don't know. I am so happy that I really want to set off firecrackers to celebrate."
"Stop talking about you, even Mr. Wang was extremely happy when he heard this news. Mr. Wang, who rarely drinks, opened a bottle of hidden wine." Liu Xia said with a smile.
"The Chongqing pseudo-government finally did a good thing." Cheng Qianfan nodded, "It seems that Chongqing also realized that the Red Bandits are the real threat."
"Mr. Wang is considering awarding Gu Mosan the Red Medal for Suppressing Rebellion and Suppressing the Red Army," said Liu Xia.
"This is good, this is good." Cheng Qianfan laughed.
...
Leaving Yihe Road, Cheng Qianfan got into the car under the protection of the bodyguard.
When he returned to the hotel where he was staying, he lay alone on the sofa, his face darkened.
Obviously, Chongqing took action against the New Fourth Army and did things that loved ones were sad and haters were happy, and the entire Wang Puppet regime in Nanjing was also filled with a relaxed and cheerful atmosphere.
For traitor regimes such as the Wang Puppet regime, the Kuomintang’s attack on the Red Party is definitely great news and will greatly alleviate the pressure faced by the Wang Puppet regime.
Another very important point is that in the eyes of the Wang regime, Chongqing has always advocated anti-Japanese resistance and 'slandered' Nanjing. Now, Chongqing has taken action against the Red Party that is fighting against Japan. This is similar to the program of peace, anti-Red and founding the country that Nanjing has been shouting.
In the words of those from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, this will greatly weaken the basis of the so-called legal anti-Japanese regime in Chongqing and will help Nanjing further consolidate the only legal regime in the government.
Two days later, regarding Chongqing's encirclement and suppression of the New Fourth Army in the South, there was a clear title in the official documents that the "Southern Anhui Incident".
And here in Nanjing, further situations in Chongqing were also reported.
Just the day before yesterday, the latest version of Xinhua Daily in Chongqing opened a "skylight" on the front page, leaving only the inscription of Comrade Xiangwu: "A strange injustice for all ages, a leaf in the south of the Yangtze River; if you fight with each other in the same room, why not fight each other!" It caused a sensation.
...
The weather is clear this day.
This day is also the Little New Year, and the streets of Nanjing are rarely filled with a sense of festive hustle and bustle.
"I think about the situation you are talking about, and it's really strange." Zhang Ping said to Cheng Qianfan.
"I accompanied Mrs. Li to play cards a few days ago. I heard them say that the Appeasement Army issued a batch of military pay before the New Year, and it was all legal tender." Zhang Ping said.
"Is it legal currency?" Cheng Qianfan asked immediately.
"It's fiat currency." Zhang Ping nodded, "The wives are still joking, saying that they don't know where the above got so many fiat currency. Could it be that the government is having a talk with Chongqing again."
"Freak." Cheng Qianfan thought, "Next time playing cards, please check carefully to see if those fiat currencies are all fiat currencies of the central bank."
"Okay." Zhang Ping nodded.
She looked at Cheng Qianfan and said with a smile, "You have hoarded so many weapons, ammunition and supplies, and this time I finally have a reasonable excuse to send it to the team."
"You didn't see it, comrades want to kill me." Cheng Qianfan said with a wry smile.
"When I first met you with Comrade Abacus, I almost shot me." Zhang Ping said with a smile.
"No matter what, those supplies, weapons and ammunition are at the hands of our own team, which is a mistake that has caused my concern." Cheng Qianfan said.
Oda Yuichi's troops mobilized the Qingdong area because there was a gap in the Cai Tuan uprising, and the New Fourth Army guerrillas obtained those weapons, and the Cai Tuan uprising troops had the ability to tear open the Japanese encirclement.
...
"There will be no flaws or troubles left." Zhang Ping asked.
"It's okay." Cheng Qianfan said, "Whether it is the Japanese or the Wang Baihai regime, I will only turn a blind eye. I still have value."
Zhang Ping nodded and said nothing more.
Both of them were a little silent. The incident in southern Anhui made both of them feel very depressed, and huge pain and sadness lingered in their hearts.
...
The next day.
"Stop it, this represents Mr. Wang's expectation for you." Chu Mingyu said with a smile.
"My nephew must continue to work hard and live up to the expectations of Mr. Wang and Uncle Chu." Cheng Qianfan said seriously.
On that morning, Wang Baihai met with representatives of the officers of the Pacification Army's meritorious generals and leaders of the Pacification Army, and Cheng Qianfan attended as a meritorious general.
Wang Baihai comforted and encouraged many traitors and officers and generals and awarded medals to commend them.
Cheng Qianfan was awarded the Third Class Medal of Peaceful National Founding.
"The New Year is coming soon, but things are getting more and more. You can help me in Nanjing for a few more days and then go back to Shanghai on New Year's Eve." Chu Mingyu said.
"Yes." Cheng Qianfan nodded, "I can't save my nephew."
He looked at Chu Mingyu and said, "National affairs are difficult, Uncle Chu must pay attention to his health."
"I know." Chu Mingyu nodded, and sighed, "All industries are waiting to be developed. Even if you want to have three days of leisure, you don't have time. Once you are idle, you will never dare to slack off when you think of the 100 million people."
"There are Uncle Chu and Mr. Wang in China. China is very lucky and the people are very lucky." Cheng Qianfan said with emotion.
...
After leaving the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Cheng Qianfan sat in the car. He opened the box, looked at the medal in the box, and couldn't help but sneer.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Brother Fan, what is that?" Haozai asked. He just came to Nanjing from Shanghai today.
"The Medal of Peaceful Founding of the Country." Cheng Qianfan chuckled, "Work harder and strive to enjoy the treatment of Wang Baihai's medal as soon as possible."
"Even if you give it to the dog," Haozai curled his lips.
"Hahaha." Cheng Qianfan laughed.
He glanced at the medal and was even more disgusted.
The Wang Puppet Regiment’s Medal of Peaceful Founding of the People’s Republic of China was awarded the military and political personnel and pro-Japanese elements who had made contributions to the “peaceful founding of the People’s Republic of China”.
The central pattern of this medal is the sun and plum blossoms. The sun symbolizes Japan, the plum blossoms symbolize the Wang Puppet regime, and the ribbon is yellow, blue and white.
Looking at the sun on the medal, Cheng Qianfan couldn't help but sneer.
It is said that the design of the Order of Peaceful Founding of the People's Republic of China was participated by Japanese people. Some people may be dissatisfied within the Wang Baihai regime, but they could only accept it with their noses. The true face of the traitor and puppet regime can be seen.
Cheng Qianfan picked up the newspaper, flipped through it, and couldn't help but snorted coldly.
On the official newspaper of the Wang Puppet regime, the front page is an article advocating the "Greater East Asia Prosperity" and establishing a new order of peace in East Asia.
In August last year, Japanese Foreign Minister Yoeu Matsuoka proposed the so-called "Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Circle" at a press conference, claiming to establish a "coexistence and co-prosperity" system including Japan, China, Manchuria, Southeast Asia and the western Pacific islands.
At the press conference, the Japanese also announced the scope of the Greater East Asian Co-prosperity Circle they sought:
It reaches Midway Island in the east, India in the west, and northern Australia in the south.
The so-called Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Circle proposed by the Japanese Foreign Minister in public has aroused strong dissatisfaction among the British and Americans.
Even the Vichy regime in France also expressed their concerns about this.
However, that's all. The Japanese have begun to constantly mention the so-called Greater East Asian Co-prosperity Circle on some occasions.
Within the Wang puppet regime, the so-called Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Circle was also begun to promote to cater to the Japanese propaganda needs.
However, it is the first time that the public publicity of the "Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Circle" is so public.
...
Cheng Qianfan couldn't help but frown.
Although the Wang Baihai regime was dependent on the Japanese, the Wang family still dreamed of making a difference. Therefore, the Wang puppet regime has always maintained the so-called "bottom line of respect" towards the great powers such as Britain and the United States.
Now, the Wang puppet regime publicly promotes the so-called "Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Circle", and this formal statement is very rare.
Is it the Japanese's request?
Use Wang Baihai’s propaganda attitude to test the British and American sides?
Cheng Qianfan is not sure.
This incident attracted his attention and alertness. He felt it was necessary to ask Chu Mingyu more questions in the past few days to inquire about the Wang puppet regime.
...
"Brother Fan, there is a car to follow us." Haozai looked at the rearview mirror and said.
"Go to the department store." Cheng Qianfan said immediately.
He originally planned to go to Jinyin Street to meet his elder brother Lu Xingge in secret, but now he has decisively changed his decision.
After carefully selecting gifts for Zhang Ping in the department store, Cheng Qianfan returned to the East Asia Association where he was staying.
"I'm sure, those fiat currencies are all new coins and all the bank notes of the central bank." Zhang Ping said to Cheng Qianfan.
As she said that, she took a few fiat coins from her wallet and handed them to Cheng Qianfan, "This is a win by playing cards."
Cheng Qianfan took the fiat currency and looked carefully. They were all brand new fiat currency, all of which were the central bank's banknotes, just like the fiat currency he exchanged for Haozai in Cai Tuan.
He took the fiat currency to the sun and looked carefully.
"Fake?" Zhang Ping asked.
"Really." Cheng Qianfan said.
"The Wang puppet government sends military pay to its troops with fiat currency, which is unreasonable." Zhang Ping said.
You know, the Wang regime is already shouting to ban the fiat currency.
"There must be a problem. I have thought about it before, but I have never figured out the joints." Cheng Qianfan said.
"Do you suspect that the enemy has printed fake fiat currency?" Zhang Ping thought for a while and asked.
"At first, I suspected that these fiat currencies were fake, but I looked carefully and it was indeed real money." Cheng Qianfan said, frowned, "I have studied this money many times."
"Unless these are indeed fake coins, but they have already achieved the point of being fake and being real, and they can't be seen at all?" Zhang Ping's eyes lit up and she suddenly said.
When Cheng Qianfan heard this, he thought for a moment and his eyes suddenly shone.
Zhang Ping's words made him suddenly realize.
If these fiat currencies are indeed fake coins, but they can be fake and real, then all this can be explained.
...
"Suppose first, assuming that our guess is correct, these are indeed fiat currencies." Cheng Qianfan said, looking at Zhang Ping, "Then, why did the enemy send these fiat currencies to the puppet army as military pay?"
"It's almost a business without money to pay military pay with fake coins," said Zhang Ping.
"No." Cheng Qianfan shook his head and said, "The legal currency is well-made and the cost is not low. These banknotes are fake and real, so the cost must be not low."
He said to Zhang Ping, "And, I'm listening to them talk about something on Yihe Road. Nanjing has established a central reserve bank and is preparing to issue its own currency, called China Reserve Coupon."
Cheng Qianfan said, "Strictly speaking, if you use this Chinese deposit coupon to pay military salaries, it will be a huge profit. You must know that the legal currency is an internationally recognized Chinese currency. Who would recognize this Chinese deposit coupon at the beginning?"
"Then, there is only one explanation." Zhang Ping thought about it and said, "They made these fake legal coins and took out part of them as military pay. Their purpose is very direct, to test whether these legal coins can be circulated normally and whether they will be seen as fake currency."
"This explanation makes sense." Cheng Qianfan nodded slightly.
"However, all of this is just our guess, and there is no evidence yet." Zhang Ping said, "Maybe we were wrong. The enemy didn't know what the reason was, but they just used real fiat currency to pay military salaries."
"I want evidence..." Cheng Qianfan pondered, and he looked at the fiat currency in his hand, "This may be evidence."
He looked at Zhang Ping's puzzled look and said, "For us, we are ordinary people who use fiat currency. We can't see that there is something wrong with this banknote, but just ask professionals to judge professional matters."
...
Gold and Silver Street.
That night.
Lu Xingge was already asleep. At this moment, he suddenly opened his eyes, quickly took out a short gun from the pillow, turned off the safety, and gently got out of the bed. He was ready to shoot at any time.
Dong.
Dongdongdongdongdong.
Dongdong.
Dongdongdongdongdong.
Dong.
Very light knocking.
Listen carefully but with rhythm.
Lu Xingge breathed a sigh of relief, but he still didn't dare to be careless. He came to the door, hid behind the wall, and asked in a low voice, "Who?"
"Boss Ge, it's me, Hu Erlang of Tilanqiao."
Lu Xingge opened the door quickly.
...
"Second brother, when did you come to Nanjing?" Lu Xingge put away his short gun, closed his insurance, and hugged his second brother happily.
"It's been a while." Cheng Qianfan sat on the bed and said, "I originally planned to come to see my elder brother this morning. I had to come to the evening with my tail."
"Tail?" Lu Xingge asked, "Do you know what it is?"
"I guess it's from No. 21 Yihe Road." Cheng Qianfan said, "Su Chende and I have a grudge. Knowing that I'm coming to Nanjing, I can't say I'm going to do my best to deal with me."
"Do you want to find a way to kill that turtle grandson?" Lu Xingge sneered and said.
"I'll talk about this later." Cheng Qianfan said, "Brother, I'm here to see you this time, there's something wrong."
