"Since you said No. 128 in Wusong District is a trap, then where is the most important place for printing counterfeit banknotes?" Tsuda Kiyokawa on the side also asked immediately after hearing what Saji Xiaoguang said.
"Chief Tsuda, the main place where counterfeit banknotes are printed is currently in charge of the people from the Matsushita Agency. They are currently on Di Siwei Road, using a chamber of commerce called Matsushita Trading as a cover. They are mainly responsible for all aspects of counterfeit banknotes.
Work, such as paper research, engraving of engravings and development of inks, etc. "
"So this is the main place for production and printing. As long as there is nothing wrong here, there will be no problems with those counterfeit banknote printing factories no matter how they are vandalized." After hearing Tsuda Kiyokawa's inquiry, Saji Xiaoguang
, also replied quickly.
However, Saji Akimitsu's answer made Tsuda Kiyokawa, Nishida Masato and others frown. It was obvious that this was the first time they had heard of the "Matsu Agency".
"Sir Tsuda, Matsu Agency is a department specifically responsible for manufacturing counterfeit currency." Saji Xiaoguang also quickly replied.
"Okay, you continue." After hearing Saji Xiaoguang's explanation, Tsuda Kiyokawa nodded slightly, and then continued to talk to Saji Xiaoguang.
In the empire, there are many so-called "organs", so they only need to understand what the "loose organs" do, and that's it. Naturally, they don't need to pay too much attention to the others.
"Hai."
"Currently, our counterfeit currency printing has actually reached a critical moment, because although the batch of counterfeit banknotes we printed before looked very lifelike, professionals can still tell
Flaws, this is why we ask those people and companies who spread counterfeit currency to continuously collect methods on how to detect the problem of counterfeit currency."
"After Song Guan's investigation and summary of the problems, the biggest problem currently faced is the problem of paper and engraving. In this regard, the people of Song Guan immediately made improvements."
"In terms of paper, Song Guan has made breakthrough progress. As for engraving, the best sculptor in the empire, Mr. Sakamoto Yulin, has come to Shanghai. He will be responsible for the subsequent engraving work. I believe it won't be long.
The problem of engraving can also be completely solved." Saji Xiaoguang immediately went on to explain.
As Saji Akimitsu's words fell, Kondo Yoshinori immediately realized why Sakamoto Yulin came to Shanghai on a ship with him. It turned out to be because of this incident!
After listening to Saji Xiaoguang's words, Tsuda Kiyokawa and others nodded slightly, and a smile appeared on their faces.
In any case, this matter can be regarded as a satisfactory solution.
"Okay, then our navy will participate in the printing of counterfeit banknotes, and we will even send troops to protect the factories where counterfeit banknotes are printed." Tsuda Kiyokawa then said with a smile.
"That's natural, that's natural." After seeing Tsuda Kiyokawa's appearance, Matsui Shimo showed a smile on his face and said quickly.
"Hahaha, then we will cooperate happily!" Tsuda Kiyokawa also said with a smile, and at the same time stretched out his right hand.
"It's a pleasure to cooperate." Matsui Shimo replied with a smile on his face, and then extended his hand and shook it with Tsuda Kiyokawa.
No matter how big the conflict between the navy and the army is, at this time, on this matter, the interests of the navy and the army are consistent, so both sides are very happy.
And for now, the counterfeit banknote matter can be considered to have found a good solution. Otherwise, if this matter becomes a big issue, once the military department and the cabinet investigate it, the people involved in this matter will
Basically, more than half of them will be forced to die to apologize.
Although printing counterfeit banknotes is the intention of the higher-ups, the higher-ups also want to have face, so if something goes wrong, it will be done privately by oneself and others, and the higher-ups cannot be involved.
However, this matter may be a happy thing for the navy and army, but for Kondo Yoshinori, it is indeed an irritating matter.
For him, the interests of the empire and the army are all bullshit, far less important than his own interests. As for the navy, at first he felt that the navy's treatment was good, and the Kondo family had a stronger foundation in the navy.
, he will join the navy, so his dependence on the navy is not very high.
It was precisely because of this that when he learned about the counterfeit banknotes from "Li Jiang", he was so concerned about this matter. After all, it was a matter that affected his own interests.
But in the end, it turned out to be what it is now, and the navy and army even joined forces to manufacture and issue counterfeit banknotes.
Kondo Yoshinori can imagine that in the near future, counterfeit banknotes will be rampant throughout Shanghai, no, throughout the entire area of China occupied by imperial soldiers.
By that time, my business with "Li Jiang" will definitely be greatly affected.
But if he wants to achieve his ideals, money is the most important thing, so when he thinks about possible situations, Kondo Yoshinori becomes a little irritable.
But at this time, he has no good way to solve this problem, and on the surface, he still wants to maintain the navy and army and contribute to the Empire of Japan.
Alas, it is really depressing!
The next day, in the Navy Club.
"Yoshinori, looking at you like this, has there been any progress in that matter?" Li Wei saw Kondo Yoshinori and asked with a smile.
As Levi spoke, he poured another cup of tea and handed it to Kondo Yoshinori.
"There is indeed some progress, but this progress is a little different from our expectations." Kondo Yoshinori could be polite, picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea, and then said to Levi.
After hearing what Yoshinori Kondo said, Levi was also stunned. It seemed that there was really some inside story about this matter. Otherwise, Yoshinori Kondo wouldn't be like this.
"Oh, what's going on?" Levi also asked with a smile on his face.
"If it's inconvenient to say it, don't say it. I won't make it difficult for you." Levi continued to add before Kondo Yoshinori could speak.
Although he also wanted to know the situation, he still had to pay attention to some propriety. Although he and Kondo Yoshinori knew many things well but did not say it out loud, there were some things.
It is destined not to be spoken out. Once spoken out, problems will arise.
