Regarding Matsui Shita Ken's "performance", Tsuda Kiyokawa and others also watched quietly without speaking.
As the saying goes, you "perform" yours, and we just watch.
However, Matsui Shita Ken can blatantly slap an army colonel in the face in front of himself and others, which is considered very good. After all, in Matsui Shita Ken's position, many things are no longer necessary after reaching this point.
Say more and everyone will understand.
"Mr. Tsuda, the matter has reached such a point that it is useless to say anything else. In my opinion, we still have to come up with a solution. But in my opinion, it is better not to expand this matter.
.”
"It's better to resolve the problems of our army through negotiation among ourselves. Don't cause trouble with the cabinet, let alone alert His Majesty the Emperor. Otherwise, it will be very disadvantageous for us." Matsui Shimo Ken immediately said softly to Tsuda Kiyokawa.
As Matsui Shimo's words fell, Nishida Masato and Kondo Yoshinori also looked at each other, while Tsuda Kiyokawa lowered his head and pondered.
To be honest, when he learned about this matter from Masato Nishida, he became concerned about it. So on the one hand, he asked Masato Nishida to investigate, and on the other hand, he also talked with some senior naval officials, and even the military
Communicated with people in the department.
It is precisely because of this that he knows more about the inside story than Masato Nishida. Naturally, he also knows that printing counterfeit banknotes is a strategic measure taken by the top management of the base camp, so the army is also following orders.
Therefore, this matter was carried out by the will of some high-level officials in the base camp, and there was no way to overturn it on my own.
So when it comes to this matter, whether it is me or the top brass of the Navy, what makes them angry is not that the Army prints counterfeit money, but that the Army secretly prints counterfeit money without telling other services.
That's why he acted like that when he faced Saji Akimitsu and Matsui Shitaken just now.
But now Matsui Shita Ken first hit his subordinate Saji Akimitsu in front of him and others, and then said this, and he also understood the meaning of his words.
"Sir Matsui, I agree with your idea. The counterfeit money matter can be avoided by the military and cabinet, but the army must give an explanation to the navy." After Tsuda Kiyokawa thought about it, he said to Matsui Shimoken
.
Naturally, it is impossible to bring this matter to the military and cabinet, because that would not only destroy the base camp's plan, but also make this matter a fuss.
By then, if all the countries in the world knew that the Imperial Japanese Army was secretly printing counterfeit banknotes, it would definitely cause an international commotion, and even have a huge impact on the international image of the Imperial Japanese Empire.
When the empire's face is damaged, the military and cabinet will definitely be held accountable. As the person in charge, Matsui Shita Ken will definitely not be able to escape, but can he escape?
"Of course." Matsui Shimo Ken felt relieved when he saw Tsuda Kiyokawa relenting, and then said immediately.
"Since the current legal currency of the Army is very limited, it is impossible to meet the needs simply by relying on the military notes issued by the military headquarters. It is precisely because of this that the printing of counterfeit banknotes is actually an order from the Army Headquarters."
Matsui Shita Ken immediately explained to Tsuda Kiyokawa.
Regarding Matsui Shita Ken's explanation, Tsuda Kiyokawa also understood that it was an explicit explanation. After all, some things cannot be said openly.
"Hmph, to be blunt, such an order is too shameless, and it completely violates the military's principle of supporting war with war, and it is a plunder of all military services." Tsuda Kiyokawa listened to Matsui Shita Ken
After saying this, he also said with some dissatisfaction.
For a soldier, this kind of order and this kind of practice is indeed a very bad behavior, and it also goes against the explicit policies of the empire.
"Mr. Tsuda, you are right, but when you said this, you only considered the interests of the army, but did not take into account political factors at all." Matsui Shimo Ken saw Tsuda Kiyokawa, Nishida Masato and others.
After thinking about it for a while, he continued to speak to several people.
As Matsui Shimo's words fell, Nishida Masato and Kondo Yoshinori also looked at each other, and then looked at Tsuda Kiyokawa. At this time, the two of them are just listeners. The specific matter still depends on Tsuda Kiyokawa and Tsuda Kiyokawa.
Matsui is chatty.
Moreover, the two of them are not fools. They heard a lot from the conversation between Tsuda Kiyokawa and Matsui Shita just now, so it is hard to say how this matter will develop in the future.
"Matsui-dono, what do you mean by this?" Tsuda Kiyokawa immediately asked Matsui Shimoken.
"Sir Tsuda, you also know that legal currency is actually currency issued by the Chinese. Therefore, when it comes to printing counterfeit banknotes and disrupting market order, the Chinese are actually the ones who suffer the most."
"So you can think about it carefully. If we completely disrupt China's market and currency circulation, then China's economy will also be destroyed."
"This kind of thing will be a heavy blow to the Chongqing government, and this kind of blow may be impossible for our army to achieve on the battlefield, and its impact will be extremely far-reaching, not only in the military
, and can give the Chinese government a strong blow politically."
"It is precisely because of this that the cabinet and the military have long demanded that all areas occupied by the Empire of Japan must abandon the use of legal tender and use military stamps instead of legal tender."
"It's just that all the military branches of the empire privately hold a large amount of legal currency, so the military finally decided not to adopt a one-size-fits-all strategy."
"But for the navy, the legal currency you have will always be used up one day, so at that time, counterfeit currency will become a good thing, and it can even be said to be a cost-effective but hugely profitable thing."
"What do you think, Mr. Tsuda?" Matsui Shita Ken then explained softly to Tsuda Kiyokawa and others.
As Matsui Shita Ken's words continued to spread, Matsui Shita Ken and others also nodded gently. Tsuda Kiyokawa also felt that Matsui Shita Ken's words made sense.
Moreover, all of the people here are outstanding talents from the empire, so for many things, you only need to click a little bit, and you will basically understand them.
And as Takeru Matsui said, in the end it is the Chinese who suffer from this kind of thing, but it is the Japanese who benefit, so why not do it?
