"Your Majesty General, you also know that when the army invaded China, it entered the interior too late and encountered stubborn resistance from the Chinese army. Although the soldiers of the empire were not afraid of sacrifice, they continuously defeated the Chinese army and occupied
A large territory, but there are ironclad laws in war."
"So the Army of the Empire of Japan also suffered heavy losses. At the same time, the amount of gold, silver dollars and French currency seized by the Army was extremely limited, and it was completely unable to make ends meet."
"In response to this matter, the Military Ministry also distributed military coupons to the Army, and even strictly ordered the market to speed up the circulation of military coupons. However, military coupons are rootless water after all, so what merchants privately charge is still gold, and silver coins are still
Let fiat currencies and other hard currency.”
"It is precisely because of this reason that the Army has a huge crisis in purchasing military supplies, so..."
"That's why I came up with this method of printing counterfeit legal currency." Saji Xiaoguang looked at Tsuda Kiyokawa and said very respectfully.
For Saji Xiaoguang, this is naturally the reason he knows for printing counterfeit banknotes.
As for the deeper meaning, as a soldier, he naturally wouldn't think too much about it. After all, he was also following orders.
Besides, he is also one of the beneficiaries of the "counterfeit money", so naturally he doesn't want to know about other impacts and significance.
But as his words fell, not to mention Tsuda Kiyokawa, even Nishida Masato and Kondo Yoshinori standing aside also changed their expressions.
From their point of view, it is understandable that the Army does this, but what about the Navy and other services of the Empire of Japan?
Furthermore, do we need to say more about how much impact counterfeit currency will have?
So the people in the Army are completely a bunch of "bastards".
And none of the people sitting here are fools. Although they don't fully understand the consequences of issuing counterfeit banknotes, they still know more or less.
So this approach of the Army is really a bit angry!
"Hmph." Tsuda Kiyokawa snorted coldly, and then looked at Saji Xiaoguang with an angry look on his face, his expression was also very dissatisfied.
"You are drinking poison to quench your thirst. You are doing the opposite and are plotting to sabotage the holy war." Tsuda Kiyokawa shouted loudly.
As his voice fell, Saji Xiaoguang also felt the anger of Tsuda Kiyokawa, so his whole body started to tremble a little, and then he quickly lowered his head.
"I will send the person who created this conspiracy to the military headquarters to receive the severest punishment." Tsuda Kiyokawa said with increasing dissatisfaction when he saw Saji Xiaomitsu like this.
"Hai." Saji Xiaoguang trembled a little after hearing Tsuda Kiyokawa's words, but he immediately agreed.
At this time, the door to the room was suddenly pushed open. This movement interrupted Tsuda Kiyokawa's mood for an instant, and everyone in the room also immediately looked at the door.
In the sight of everyone, the commander of the Shanghai Garrison Headquarters, Matsui Shimotake, also walked in quickly.
After seeing Matsui Shita Ken, Saji Xiaomitsu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, only he understood how much pressure he faced in front of Tsuda Kiyokawa.
Moreover, this is the home base of the Navy, so it’s really like a year for an Army person to live here!
But now the army bosses are here too. If anything happens, let you bosses do it!
"Sir Tsuda, I'm late." Before Tsuda Kiyokawa could speak, Matsui Shita took the initiative to speak.
As Matsui Shita Ken spoke, Tsuda Kiyokawa also glanced at Saji Akimitsu, then ignored Saji Akimitsu and looked at Matsui Shita Ken.
Now that Takeru Matsui is here, he naturally no longer needs to communicate with the small role of Saji Akimitsu.
On the side, Masato Nishida and Yoshinori Kondo quickly saluted him after seeing Takeru Matsui.
Although we all belong to different ranks, Matsui Shita Ken is a lieutenant general, and we must be respectful in front of him.
Just like when Saji Xiaoguang faced Mr. Tsuda just now, it was the same.
"Matsui-dono, I don't want this to alarm you." Tsuda Kiyokawa also said softly.
"Sir Tsuda, I already know about this matter." Matsui Shimo Ken quickly replied when he saw Tsuda Kiyokawa.
"Oh, now that Mr. Matsui knows about it, what kind of explanation should Mr. Matsui give us about this matter? After all, printing counterfeit banknotes privately, and even allowing counterfeit banknotes to circulate is a violation of the Empire of Japan.
The serious desecration of the image of the imperial army is an insult to the empire, so your army should pay the price for this." Tsuda Kiyokawa then looked at Matsui Shimo Ken with a calm expression and asked.
Naturally, he would not be as aggressive towards Matsui Shita Ken as he was towards Saji Akimitsu. After all, Matsui Shita Ken and himself had the same rank of lieutenant general, so we were all on the same level.
And if strictly speaking, Matsui Shita Ken's rights in Shanghai are greater than his own. Although he is the commander-in-chief of the navy, Matsui Shita Ken is the commander-in-chief of the empire's garrison headquarters in Shanghai.
Although in peacetime, Matsui Shimo basically manages the army and some special departments and intelligence departments under the army, and he manages the navy, in wartime, Matsui Shimo is the commander-in-chief and has the command
The rights of all troops, although this right is nominal, except for the army, other services and the navy will not pay attention to him.
However, in the military department, Matsui Shita Ken has a greater say than himself, so when facing Matsui Shita Ken, he naturally cannot be arrogant.
Of course, in this incident, the Army has no reason, so the initiative lies in its own hands.
After Matsui Shimo Ken heard Tsuda Kiyokawa's loud words, he was also a little irritated. After all, he was really unreasonable about this matter!
However, Matsui Shita Ken didn't reply to Tsuda Kiyokawa immediately. Instead, he walked up to Saji Xiaomitsu. Without waiting for Saji Xiaomitsu to react, he slapped Saji Xiaomitsu twice, then looked at him and said: "Huh, it's you.
It is unfavorable to do things, so it has repeatedly caused conflicts between the navy and the army. It is simply unreasonable and unreasonable."
Saji Akatsuki was also stunned by Matsushita Ken for a moment, but after hearing Matsui Shita Ken's words, Saji Akatsuki was also stunned, but he still reacted immediately, and then quickly bent down and lowered his head and said: "Hai."
