"Shanghai received information that half a month later, U.S. Senate member Polott would come to Nanjing to negotiate aid to China. The director of Ying Zuo ordered our team to cooperate with the "Crane Group" to stop this negotiation. Therefore, I ordered Shen Haisen to
Before Polot sets off, kill Zhong Yuhan." Yin Yimin said.
"ah?"
When Lin Chuang heard the news, he was immediately shocked!
The reason why Lin Chuang was shocked was because Senior Counselor Zhong Yuhan was very extraordinary. Many of China's major economic decisions were planned by him, and he personally had a very good relationship with the United States.
If he dies, the aid from the United States will be completely wasted.
The war is about the economy, and the economy can also trigger wars - as a future generation soul, Lin Chuang knows this truth very well.
In a sense, Japan's launch of a full-scale war of aggression against China was also related to economic considerations.
Speaking of this matter, we have to start from the beginning of the founding of the Republic of China.
After the founding of the Republic of China, the silver standard was implemented. After the "abolition of the two currencies and the reform of the Yuan", although the currency was unified, the government's financial and economic difficulties were not solved. In order to control China's currency power, the three countries of Britain, the United States, and Japan strengthened their control over the Chinese economy.
The plundering and fierce competition started.
First, the United States introduced the Silver Act, which caused a large amount of silver to flow into the United States from all over the world, and China was no exception. The large amount of silver outflow caused a serious economic crisis in the Republic of China, and the severe economic crisis forced the National Government to abandon the silver standard system and further reform the monetary system.
.
In the twenty-fourth year of the Republic of China, the Republic of China government issued an announcement announcing the implementation of a legal currency system nationwide. This currency reform completely decoupled China's currency from silver. However, at that time, the Republic of China government lacked enough gold or silver to determine the gold content of legal currency, so the government
The plan is to collect silver and gold from the Chinese treasury and the private sector, and sell it in the New York and London markets in exchange for foreign exchange as a reserve to ensure the issuance of legal currency, using foreign exchange as the basis for determining the value of legal currency.
The first to take action was the United Kingdom, which loaned 10 million pounds to the National Government and obtained legal currency reserve status.
The U.S. government was extremely dissatisfied with this and obtained legal currency reserve status with a loan of US$50 million.
In other words, the issuance of legal tender is based on British pounds and US dollars. Without British pounds and US dollars, the issuance of legal tender is a castle in the air.
Many people are very grateful to the United Kingdom and the United States, thinking that they have extended a helping hand to China and are China's benefactors. However, Lin Chuang understands very well that neither the United Kingdom nor the United States has good intentions. They have controlled the right to issue legal currency in disguise and strengthened the
to plunder the Chinese economy.
As a result, China's economy lost its independence.
The Japanese were very angry about this. They also wanted to control China's currency issuance rights, but were flatly rejected by the Republic of China government.
In order to completely separate the Chinese economy from the control of Britain and the United States, Japan adopted the so-called "complete block" method after being rejected by the Chinese government, mainly exerting military and political pressure.
It was against this background that the all-out war of aggression against China arose.
Of course, this is something.
But now, the Japanese want to assassinate Zhong Yuhan, firstly to vent their anger, and secondly to destroy.
Why do you say that? Because Zhong Yuhan is pro-rice and anti-Japanese. Not only was Zhong Yuhan instrumental in pegging the legal currency to the US dollar, but he also tried his best to prevent the Republic of China government from contacting the Japanese government.
The most important thing is that he and Poirot are classmates majoring in economics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the United States, and they have a very good personal relationship. Poirot's trip to China was facilitated by Zhong Yuhan using his personal relationship.
Lin Chuang was very clear about the history of the issuance of legal currency and the role Zhong Yuhan played in it. Therefore, he quickly realized this major crisis from Yin Yimin's confession.
If Polot had received news of Zhong Yuhan's murder on the eve of his departure for China, the biggest question would be whether he would still come.
Moreover, it is not difficult to find from Yin Yimin's confession that the Japanese also activated the "Crane Group" agents and prepared to try their best to sabotage this negotiation.
In other words, even if Poirot finally makes his trip, the "Crane Group" agents will definitely obstruct him in every possible way and create trouble.
If nothing happened to Zhong Yuhan, relying on his personal relationship with Poirot, some things might be able to be turned around; on the contrary, if he is not here, if something goes wrong, this China aid loan negotiation will fail.
…
"Yamaguchi Minye, have you ever issued assassination orders to Zhang Yingchun and Ran Hao?"
Lin Chuang silently digested the information Yin Yimin confessed, thought over and over again, and finally came up with an idea.
So, he asked the last question.
"No. The two of them successfully broke into the Ministry of Industry and Commerce and the Ministry of Finance. Their purpose was to assassinate Gong Hanzhang and Zong Yuwen when necessary. These two people were economic officials of the Republic of China government and were in charge of the lifeline of China's economy. As long as they were killed,
The economy of the Republic of China will collapse." Yin Yimin said.
After hearing Yin Yimin's answer, Lin Chuang ended his interrogation with satisfaction and withdrew his mental control.
Looking at Yin Yimin again, his head drooped and he fainted again.
Lin Chuang knew that when he woke up again, he would not remember that he had confessed. In his opinion, it was almost like a dream.
Lin Chuang opened the door of the interrogation room and quickly compiled the interrogation records. However, he selectively ignored the section about "invisible words".
He wanted to use this unknown secret to hide the truth, get rid of Fu Sheng, and complete the tasks assigned by the organization.
After sorting out the interrogation records, Lin Chengliang immediately picked up the phone on the table and called Hao Ligang's office.
The phone rang twice and Hao Ligang picked up the phone.
"Senior brother, are you back?" Lin Chuang asked.
"I just came back, how is your place?" Hao Ligang asked.
"Yin Yimin has been recruited. Just wait, I will go find you right away." Lin Chuang got off the phone, picked up the interrogation record, said something to the guard at the door, and quickly walked to Hao Ligang's office.
"Xiao Zhai, we have gained a lot this time. After working for several hours, we finally found the radio station and the code book. Yin Yimin is so cunning. Guess where he hid the code book?" Lin Chuang opened the door when he saw it.
Coming in, Hao Ligang didn't wait for Lin Chuang to speak, but he excitedly talked about the results of the victory.
"Brother, if there is a serious situation, please take a look at the interrogation record first." Lin Chuang did not answer Hao Ligang's words and directly handed him the interrogation record.
"Ah? Is this okay?!" Hao Li just read the record and stood up in shock.
"No, I have to report right away." Hao Ligang said, picking up the phone on the table.
"Team leader, I have an important report." Hao Ligang said immediately after hearing Wen Xuesong's voice.
"What's going on?" Wen Xuesong asked.
"We successfully captured Yin Yimin and found a radio station and a code book. Lin Chuang started interrogating overnight, and it only took four hours for Yin Yimin to confess. According to his confession, the order he gave to No. 26 was to assassinate Zhong Yuhan
Counselor Zhong, and Vice President Gong and Minister Zong have Japanese spies around them, so something big could happen at any time." Hao Ligang tried his best to use concise language to report.
"Ah? You and Lin Chuang wait first, I will report to the superior immediately." When Wen Xuesong heard this, she was also shocked and quickly hung up the phone.
