Chapter seven hundred and eighty seventh military management
Shanghai is the financial center of the Far East. Not only China, but also Western countries regard this kind of free city as the best financing location. However, suddenly, the channels for the free circulation of capital were cut off, and the foreign exchange that came in could not be exported.
Go, the stock market is turbulent. It is conceivable that as soon as the market opens, countless people will sell stocks crazily. By then, these pieces of paper will really become a pile of waste paper.
This is definitely not a trivial matter. Just after Zhang Tinglan announced this order, the phones at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Presidential Palace, the Vice President's Residence, and the hotel where Zhang Tinglan was staying were all buzzing. People from all walks of life came to ask Brother Tao to speak.
Those usually gentle diplomats all showed ferocious faces and joked. Who doesn't know that financial capital is the invisible government of Western countries. How many heads can bear the damage caused to these uncles?
This group of people was aggressive and jumping up and down, but unfortunately, Zhang Tinglan ignored them at all. He was currently discussing countermeasures with the central bank governor Wang Shuhan and several financial experts.
When Zhang Tinglan was preparing to attack Shanghai Beach, Wang Shuhan had secretly drawn up an action plan, and now it was time for a showdown.
"Vice President, there are three levels of goals we want to achieve this time. The first level is to combat Western financial forces, the second level is to eliminate all kinds of garbage forces in Shanghai, and the third level is to establish a standardized financial system.
Order. The entire action plan is like this. First, we close the foreign exchange market and the stock market to limit the incoming funds. Then we open the stock market first. The stock price will inevitably plummet. Western capital will not be able to arbitrage and leave. Wait until the right time, and then open the foreign exchange.
business, forcing Western capital to cut off its flesh and leave. As long as this foreign black hand is cut off, the rest will be easy to deal with."
Zhang Tinglan nodded: "President Wang, have you ever estimated how much money you can get from Westerners this time?"
"It will be at least about 500 million yuan. Their capital in Shanghai is one billion yuan. The Shanghai stock market must be suppressed by at least half, or even two-thirds, to squeeze out the bubble. But it cannot be suppressed too hard.
, after all, the stock market can also serve the purpose of financing and plays an important role for some Chinese companies. The next step is to regulate the market."
"Well. After getting 500 million from Westerners, the domestic investors will have to cut off at least another 1 billion, plus the search for problematic personnel, I estimate that we can get at least 2 billion this time. With this money
But it’s so important!”
Having said this, Zhang Tinglan also showed a proud smile on his face. Next year will be the economic crisis of 1929, and Zhang Tinglan will definitely make a big deal. With these two billion as the basis, he will get more than one billion US dollars from the US market.
The investment in the entire Second Five-Year Plan is already in sight. And there is enough capital to build a three-carrier battle group. It is even said that with this money to lay the groundwork, it will not be a problem to compete again with Russia or Japan.
Already.
This trip to Shanghai was indeed not in vain. Of course, we must achieve this step and solve the immediate problem to ensure that we can eat this piece of fat safely.
"Vice President, there is still a loophole that needs to be filled." Xu Jinghong said: "Foreign capital is coming in. Some are converted into Chinese dollars, and some are still foreign capital. Although Shanghai's financial market is developed, it is far from standardized. Foreign capital
There is still a possibility of escape, so I propose to control the foreign banks in the concession."
Xu Jinghong has worked at Fengtian Bank for more than eight years and is quite proficient in finance, so the suggestion is also to the point. Wang Shuhan also said: "Vice President, it is true that foreign banks are a loophole, but the leasing is still foreign after all. If we rashly enforce the law, will it be wrong?"
Will it cause international disputes? After all, there is a difference between closing a bank and arresting a few criminals."
Zhang Tinglan also frowned. After pondering for a long time, he said: "If you don't do it, don't care about these things since you have already broken your skin. But you must also pay attention to skills in doing things. Let's start with the French. Aren't they drug dealers?
This matter serves as an entry point.”
Drugs are something that everyone hates. Once a government gets involved with drugs, it loses all legitimacy. Take the British, for example. They fought two Opium Wars, but they still have to publicize it as a trade war at home.
It's just to deceive people.
Zhang Tinglan holds Du Yuesheng in his hand and knows everything about the drug trade in France. He can completely control the French concession under the banner of anti-drug control and immediately declare other concessions to be under martial law. This is reasonable.
Of course, the great powers will definitely protest and even yell at each other, but it doesn't matter. The Fengtian aircraft carrier battle group is not just for show. If you don't know how to show off, you can show off openly and openly to see who is tougher.
After Zhang Tinglan made the decision, the order was quickly conveyed. Immediately afterwards, groups of soldiers quickly entered Shanghai. In Shanghai, the center of the storm, countless ordinary people finally experienced the powerful force of the central government for the first time.
, even foreigners who have settled in Shanghai for a long time are horrified.
The troops that marched into Shanghai this time were all wearing military uniforms with special patterns, long and short ones, and even had oil paint on their faces. They looked like they had crawled out of hell, they were fierce and fierce. There were tanks on the ground clearing the way, and even in the sky.
There were planes circling, and gunboats and ships appeared on the Huangpu River. It could be said that they were dispatched by sea, land and air together. The scale and momentum were beyond imagination.
The troops sent by Zhang Tinglan are the Marine Corps. These people in Shanghai have great eyes and ears. If ordinary troops were mobilized, they would have been able to get the information. The Marine Corps is Zhang Tingshu's responsibility, which is equivalent to the troops in Zhang Tinglan's sleeves.
reliable.
Moreover, the Marine Corps is stationed in East China, so it is easy to mobilize. Zhang Tingshu has been gearing up for a long time. Since the establishment of the Marine Corps, the number of personnel has continued to expand. It already has three brigades, and the equipment has been constantly updated, and the troops have been replaced.
The latest developed camouflage uniform.
Just in time to show off his skills, after receiving the order, Zhang Tingshu decisively ordered that the entire army was divided into three groups and marched into Shanghai. At the same time, the East China Sea Fleet also sent ships to block the Yangtze River estuary, plus the aircraft carrier Fengtian outside, now
Shanghai Beach is under full control, not even a fly can fly out.
The Marines quickly entered the urban area of Shanghai with sonorous steps. Zhang Tingshu had already received the order. He rushed directly to the French Concession and wanted to operate on the Gallic rooster first.
At this time, the French Concession was already in chaos. Gallic Rooster was a famous loan sharking empire. After the end of World War I, the domestic economy was in decline and the foundation was already empty. The French relied more on financial arbitrage. For the French, Shanghai had
They have invested huge amounts of money here. In addition, the drug trade is also an important source of black gold. Tens of millions of capital flows back to France every year.
Originally, the French planned to push up the Chinese stock market bubble and make a huge profit, but unexpectedly, the situation suddenly changed, a large number of senior financial officials were arrested, and the stock market and foreign exchange market were all suspended. The keen French people already knew this.
This is definitely a move targeting foreign capital. China wants to catch them all in one fell swoop.
The French were also red-eyed. While actively putting pressure on China, they were also planning how to allow capital to escape safely. But at this moment, Zhang Tingshu led the Marine Corps and rushed outside the French Concession.
The French military police set up a cordon outside, and all the soldiers were armed and ready. However, in Zhang Tingshu's eyes, their actions were just a joke.
"Tanks move out of the way, don't fire cannons, if they dare not to get out of the way, just crush them to me!"
Zhang Tingshu gave an order, and the two tanks lined up in a row and rushed towards the French cordon unceremoniously. Facing the impact of the steel monster, the French were all frightened, and the rifles in their hands hit
These giant beasts are like scratching an itch and have no effect. Do they still need flesh and blood to compete with tanks?
Just when the French were trembling, Zhang Tingshu asked his men to shout loudly, asking the French to get out of the way or they would be crushed. The tanks roared and got closer and closer to the French without any pause.
These French people finally felt scared. A soldier suddenly threw his gun on the ground, then turned around and ran away. If there was one, there would be a second one. All the French military and police stepped aside, and the tanks' tracks crushed all the guns.
Became parts.
Under the guidance of the tanks, the soldiers rushed into the French concession. They first entered Gongguan Road and took control of the headquarters of Sanxin Company. Since Du Yuesheng had already explained the situation, they easily obtained the French concession.
Evidence of drug trafficking.
Then Zhang Tingshu led his men and horses and rushed directly to the patrol room. French Inspector General Favory was the backend of Du Yuesheng's usual transactions.
When they saw the sudden arrival of the Chinese army, the patrol house was still extremely shocked. No one could have imagined that the Chinese army would dare to attack the French patrol house. Wasn't this trying to provoke a dispute between the two countries?
The French still wanted to argue, but Zhang Tingshu had already ordered the tank's muzzle to be pointed at the patrol house. Anyone who resisted would be shot on the spot without mercy.
China's tyrannical attitude finally made the French succumb, and Fevory became a prisoner. Now things became easier. Zhang Tingshu found a large amount of evidence of illegal drug trafficking from the patrol room, including a huge amount.
, it is simply beyond imagination, not only in China, but also a large amount of drugs are sold to Europe, including France.
After mastering the personal and material evidence, China took the initiative and all concessions were forcibly taken over. China's public opinion offensive was also fully launched.
A large number of Chinese and foreign reporters have long gathered in Shanghai, wanting to know what happened. Just after Zhang Tingshu took control of the French Concession, a large amount of detailed evidence was revealed. France sold a large amount of drugs through the concession and made huge profits from it.
Not only the Chinese people have been harmed, but even the French will not be spared. The Chinese government, in line with its responsible attitude towards mankind, will definitely crack down on drug crimes vigorously.
Zhang Tingshu made a strong oath in front of reporters, but at the same time, a more important news came out. Zhang Tinglan informed various countries that in view of the severe situation in Shanghai, all areas, including the concessions, were under military control.
