Chapter 405: Yen Counterfeit and India's First Move

"Will they be without gold? In Jiangsu and Zhejiang, what they looted was cleaner than what the dogs had licked. Meng Xiang snorted coldly. He said that he was crying poor, and his intention was to use barter or yuan to offset the account.

But Meng Xiang remembered some records of later generations, and some people in later generations counted that they had looted a total of 6,000 tons of gold, although this is not necessarily true, but the wealth of 6,000 tons of gold is absolutely there. With thousands of years of accumulation in China, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the gathering place of modern wealth in China, were looted by them door to door, far more than any looting. Many antique relics cannot be measured by money.

"Tell them that they only need gold and silver, and don't take those waste papers. If the money is not called out in half a month, three battleships will be sold to the Russians. Meng Xiang said directly, saying that he really can't take it out, and Meng Xiang doesn't mind selling another one to Soviet Russia. During this time, the Russians were very interested in the Nagato-class, and in addition to the one that the Vanguard had traded for them and the two that had been bought a long time ago, they ordered another one.

Stalin also had a plot of a big ship and a huge cannon, and in the face of the largest known naval gun in the world, he waved his pen and the deal was negotiated.

In addition to the 2 ships housed in the Pacific Fleet, the other two ships they intend to arrange in the Baltic Sea. With the connivance of Britain and France, the threat of the Germans was getting closer, and the coastal defense of the Baltic could not hold back the naval artillery bombardment of the Germans. After all, the Germans also bought two Nagato-class. When you can't make it quickly, it's best to buy it. In the past, no one was willing to sell the more advanced, but now that there is such an opportunity, how can they let it go? The Russians also had money, and the accumulated wealth of the country was dizzyingly large.

With the clouds of war looming over Europe, Europeans have begun to strengthen their armaments. The French also bought a Nagato-class to study and strengthen coastal defenses. At the same time, Turkey also bought one.

Since last November, Kemal passed away. Turkey is also embroiled in an internal strife. But at this time the situation in Europe was turbulent, and the Turks still felt uneasy. Their position determines that they will be on the front lines of the war. So there is such an opportunity to strengthen the Navy, and they will not let it go.

It was thanks to these orders that Meng Xiang slowed down the pace of trading the Yamato with the Germans, and even though the Yamato was now sold because of the shortage of money, the delivery time would have to wait until the end of March. Another reason is that Meng Xiang didn't want to be dazzled by butterflies when the Germans were about to attack the Czech Republic.

However, during this period, the Germans could first familiarize themselves with the Yamato-class battleship of the Vanguard Army in advance. The Germans also readily agreed, the Germans hoped to get acquainted with the Yamato-class as soon as possible with the help of the vanguard army, and Meng Xiang also hoped to use the experience of the German navy.

"Bartering is not needed. We only need gold, silver and dollars. Meng Xiang emphasized again.

Meng Xiang was trying to use gold, silver and foreign exchange to siphon off part of the reserve funds. At this time, it is still in the super stage. Imports are more than exports, and hard currencies such as gold, silver, and foreign exchange are particularly important. The less foreign exchange they have, the more volatile their economies will be, both in terms of imports and domestic financial stability. Add to that the attrition of war and the scarcity of resources, and they will look elsewhere.

As for Yue Yuan, Meng Xiang will not accept it. Since Meng Xiang came to this world, the idea of imitating Yue Yuan has not stopped.

All earthlings know that money from printing money is the easiest and lasts the most.

The Yuan is one of the most difficult currencies to imitate in later generations. But this is not absolute.

The counterfeiting technology of the person in North China is derived from the technology of the Yuan. The minting equipment was also provided by me. Because of this, Meng Xiang did not dare to issue banknotes easily, lest he take this as an opportunity to print counterfeit banknotes. He is not like the central political axe, which can greatly depreciate more than 300 times, and directly crush the act of counterfeiting fiat currency.

But in the same way, the counterfeit banknote team he set up can also be used to explore some Yuan technology.

At the end of '37, the counterfeit money group in the vanguard army was formed. However, there is a shortage of talent, and little progress has been made. The real period of development was after the arrival of the Jews, many of whom had been dealing with banknotes all their lives and were very proficient in the technology of making banknotes. Even the Benhard plan, in which the Germans forged the pound, used Jews.

Of course, Meng Xiang will not directly tell the Jews that they are printing counterfeit banknotes, but they are just going to prepare for the next step in the issuance of banknotes. Take this opportunity to train some Chinese people's own banknote experts and technicians.

Of course, these people are also not suitable to participate in the final plan, and the clones are the last to carry out this mission.

Although the technology of Yue Yuan is more complicated, it is not particularly difficult, and the most important thing is that the paper used by Yue himself is mulberry paper with several special plant fibers. In World War II, both the Chinese and the Americans had intended to forge the Yuan, but they were blocked here.

But later generations Meng Xiang had seen information about this. In the paper used by Yue Yuan, the most important raw material is added to the yellow Ruixiang bark pulp, which is actually the three-bark pulp made from the bark of the Chinese three-tree tree. Then mix it with three ordinary plant wood pulps: the tree tree, the goosebark tree, and the Portuguese tree.

The three trees are everywhere in Yuexi, Anhui Province, except for the goosebark tree, which is a unique tree of the Wild Goose Tree, and the others are widely introduced in the northern part of China.

None of this was a problem for Meng Xiang, and in order to worry that his memory would be wrong, Meng Xiang sent three spies into his own mint. One of them has direct access to the paper industry. Because they are only directly replacing the original people, except for some dull and wooden, which is similar to the original. Even the paper-making and coinage processes were studied for a long time before they were sent out.

With their help, some of the problems are no longer problems.

The paper that has been tested thousands of times is exactly the same as my own. With the help and training of the Jews, three Chinese miniature carvers succeeded in creating the engraving of the Yuan Dynasty. The math team is also constantly looking for the pattern of numbering.

"Copying, what we need is copying, not botched fakes." Meng Xiang plans to do a long-term job, so that he can work for Huaxia for free.

Although the finished product has not yet appeared, it is close to the final success. Because of this, Meng Xiang will not go to the banknotes of the Yuan. Even the pound, which I am afraid will soon be attacked by the plans of the Germans Benhard, is not safe. It was only in view of the appreciation and preservation of the value of the US dollar in World War II that Meng Xiang accepted the US dollar.

Forge Yuan, since the forgery is so realistic, if it is to destroy the issuance of the surname, it is too wasteful. It is more suitable to slowly siphon away their own profits, and then slowly control their economy through shadow companies. Although there are few annihilations, Meng Xiang has a lot of spies in his hands. Unless there are special circumstances, they will smash out a lot of them to destroy their own financial system and cause turmoil.

With the ability to make counterfeit banknotes, Meng Xiang's vision will not be limited to this.

The Russian ruble, Citigroup's dollar bills, the British pound, the French franc, and even the German mark will all be the targets of Meng Xiang's pursuit.

The short life of the German mark and the strict control of the ruble made forgery not very convenient, and only the most widely circulated British pounds and dollars, especially the US dollar, were suitable for printing. Once the circulation range is wide, there is a certain space for counterfeit banknotes in the total amount of currency issued. After all, realistic replicas are suitable for a long stream.

A fluctuation of one or two points will not have much effect. But just one or two of this total amount is an astonishing fortune.

Of course, no matter how realistic a counterfeit banknote is, it is not a real banknote, and there will be problems with the code at any time. As long as there is an abnormal situation, the long stream of water will become a flood of beast-like plunder.

In short, Meng Xiang has the loyalty of the clones in his hands, and the internal response of the spies, and the danger of exposure has been minimized. In the future, the engraving will be carried out by a cloning engineer, which greatly reduces the risk of leakage. As a result, the cornucopia organization in Meng Xiang's hands gradually took shape. Their organization of counterfeit money and money laundering has been lurking at the top of the dark world.

With counterfeit banknotes, even goods can be bought at any time, except for gold and silver, which are more strictly controlled, and are easy to expose, other goods are not needed. And where else can the cargo of the umbrella be delivered? Different from the well-known close relationship between the vanguard army and the cottage company, there is no need to cover it up, and I have a lot of ghost eyes, and I am afraid that from the transportation and sales of goods, I can analyze some clues of the umbrella company.

The appearance of a large number of Chinese people on the land of South America has caused a lot of speculation. Although it can be said that Chinese labor is cheap and affordable, it is not suitable to be involved too much with the vanguard army. So most of what the umbrella company collects is gold, silver and foreign exchange. And it's all paid in cash, with one hand to pay and one hand to deliver.

"Tell them that we can sell them one or more Nagato-class. Ask them if they want to? The price is much cheaper, but the full amount must be paid upfront. Meng Xiang calculated that the Nagato-class has now sold 18 ships. He said that he had 3 ships, 4 Soviet and Russian ships, 2 Germans, 1 American, 3 South American ships, 1 Mexican ship, 1 Turkish ship, 1 Dutchman ship, 1 British ship, and 1 French ship.

If it weren't for the fact that part of the money from the transaction was invested in the base, I am afraid that the accumulation of close to the base would not be enough.

The last Nagato-class is almost complete. In the future, with the advent of the Yamato-class, the Nagato-class will no longer be produced. 18 ships may be the final figure.

Of course, if he was willing to pay all the money first, Meng Xiang wouldn't mind selling them a few more. After all, in the case of base manufacturing, the profit of the Nagato-class is much higher than that of the Yamato-class.

Then the news came, saying that he had promised to pay for the three Nagato-class battleships in gold, silver and dollars.

However, he still refused to buy more. They have the Yamato, and it is no longer inevitable for Nagato. At this time, the reason for the purchase is that the umbrella company can deliver the goods in time, which can eliminate the hidden danger of insufficient combat power of the navy during this period of time. After these three Nagato-class ships cooperate with the remaining Nagato, which is enough to stabilize the situation, their focus is still on the Yamato-class.

It's a pity that they don't know that even the Yamato-class will be copied, and their biggest secret is about to become a cabbage on the side of the road.

It was the transaction of these eighteen Nagato-class battleships that made the umbrella famous in one fell swoop, and also made Meng Xiang's finances much easier. Hundreds of millions of dollars in real money and foreign currency bonds have become a strong pillar of reforms in the war zone. It is also the cornerstone of Mengxiang's consolidation of China's industrial system.

And said that the time of my delivery is set for around March 20th. They are the last of the pack, and all the Nagato will be cleared out before that to make way for the appearance of the Yamato.

"It's March, and March is going to be stormy." Meng Xiang sighed. In history, March was a turbulent period, during which various contradictions would burst out. In addition, the Yamato-class will be unveiled at the end of March, which will intensify the conflict.

Butterfly wings in China don't necessarily affect storms elsewhere.

Pius XII was still pope on March 2. The Church has always existed in the spheres of influence in Europe. Their power is equally terrifying, although the rise of the modern revolution has brought them down from the front of the stage, but the millennium of history has made them still one of the masterminds behind the scenes. It's just that they are too far away from ordinary people, and they have an extra layer of charitable faces, and they are often forgotten on the edge of the dirty political sauce pit.

Of course, the butterfly wings still tugged at the situation in Asia, and India's Mahatma Gandhi 3 had only begun a hunger strike to protest against the British colonial rule, because the base in Nanyang had sold a lot of guns and weapons to India, which intensified the conflict and had to go on a hunger strike a day earlier.

"We can't just sit idly by! It is not enough to expect the British to compromise automatically. Room 33 shouted.

Since he came to India, he has thrown himself into the tide of opposition to British colonial rule. He joined the radical Indian National Congress Party on the instructions of Meng Xiang. He relied on his status as a Brahmin who was chosen by thousands of people, and he also led the Congress Party to the arms line of a copycat company. Gained a foothold in the Congress party.

With the help of fellow Indians such as 53 and Meng Xiang's financial support, he has a higher and higher position in the Congress Party.

"Disruption can only make things worse, what we need is stability." 43 began to retort that since 33 had gained a foothold in the Congress party, he had joined the moderate National Freedom League of India, a faction that advocated compromise with the British, and was generally reluctant to exacerbate the conflict as long as it did not endanger their rights.

He is also a Brahmin. In India, the idea of the caste system is deeply ingrained in the marrow. Even in the Hereafter, it is as serious. Without a good identity, no matter how great your ability is, you have to spend it on the strict hierarchy ladder.

With the support of the British, 74, and the capital provided to him by Meng Xiang, his company has squeezed into the list of India's richest people. Also because of his pro-British position, he was particularly favored by the British.

The rise of the two also made Meng Xiang a little hesitant about their future development. He would love to drag India into World War II, but if the Indians' loose surnames were tempered by the war, it might become an opportunity for them to rise. Without experiencing the flames of war, it is difficult to have the capital to rise in the international Colosseum, and it is difficult to create the opportunity for nirvana for the nation.

If history changes, they will also stand in the forefront of the great powers little by little through favorable external conditions and the advantage of a huge population.

In the future, even Meng Xiang can't see clearly, when he is planning a new layout for World War II, the future development has deviated from his original impression.

It was precisely because he couldn't feel the pulse of the future, so Meng Xiang chose to bet on both ends. Let's stand firm and extract resources first. As for whether Gandhi was hungry or not, Meng Xiang didn't care, the eight shadow companies he arranged in India had already begun to share food on the table.

India's various resource conditions are too good. It is not an exaggeration to be called the jewel in the crown by the British.

Even after decomposition, India has 170 million hectares of arable land, or 2.55 billion mu. Most of the territory is also in the subtropics, so it can be easily double-cropped a year. There is no problem with perennial production. But with so much arable land and still a large number of people who have not solved the problem of food and clothing, it can only be said that Indians are too speechless. Most of their land is planted for one season, and the rest is idle. Despite this ability to cultivate the land, Indians are often notoriously lazy.

With such close arable land resources around, Meng Xiang naturally will not let it go. 43. The accumulation of wealth in the hands of the first and foremost is the land. With the help of the British, the land was incredibly cheap, and through some despicable non-violent means, it was gathered into the hands of Room 43 and eight shadow companies.

The war is approaching, and in the face of the imminent explosion of food prices, Meng Xiang's shadow companies are making a final gathering. Under the balance of grain in various places, the gap in the supply of subsistence food is no longer a headache for Meng Xiang.

India's tea production is the world's largest producer, and it has been in the first place for a long time. And the cultivation of tea in India only started in the 19th century. Although there are tea plants in Bengal, the British in the 19th century introduced tea varieties from China and found two Chinese tea masters, and easily obtained the process of making tea. Only then did the famous black tea consumption in later generations.

Even the war could not stop people from consuming tea and coffee. After all, the diet of Europeans determines the need for tea. Therefore, the shadow company's activities in India are also focusing on tea trees. Although India is mainly black tea, and Huaxia is green tea, the functional common surname of tea makes it possible for Huaxia tea to be dragged and sold at a low price as long as Indian tea is available.

Without a monopoly, it is difficult to have room for profiteering. Meng Xiang only hopes to slowly grasp the Indian tea, plus the Chinese tea, and control the global tea market in one fell swoop. The tea market in Southeast Asia is also easy to control, as for Africa, the Americas and other places tea production is after all a minority, the main ones are still China and India. Only by controlling the right to speak on prices can we create huge profits.

Tea should also be a profiteering resource brand that is easy to make in Huaxia, after all, thousands of years of tea culture is incomparable to others.

India's red jute, cotton, etc. are also abundant, because India has a lot of land, and the planting area of many crops is the first in the world.

Meng Xiang is also interested in India's steel and coal. India doesn't have a lot of oil, but it does have a lot of coal. Reserves of more than 100 billion tons. If it weren't for the fact that there were too few sub-bases, Meng Xiang would like to place a sub-base in India to collect some resources. Birlai, and other places are also rich in iron ore. The bonanza resources are the envy of China.

Watched by the huge power of the British, this is not a good time to mine, but it does not prevent Meng from occupying the land. Based on his impressions, Meng Xiang focused on iron and manganese from Bilai, aluminum and coal from Ranchi, and iron and manganese from Bangalore. Of course, the specific location is not known, and Meng Xiang can only rely on his general impression to enclose the surrounding land. He has always been glad that he used to be good at geography.

India's mica resources are the largest in the world, so naturally they will not let go. Rutile ilmenite resources and zircon resources on the southern coast of the Indian Peninsula are also not missed, although titanium metal is difficult to refine, and is not valued now, but it is known as a space metal in the future, but its future development prospects are broad, the more the merrier. Even the submarine oil near Mumbai has been occupied by shadow companies, and long-term exploration and production contracts have been signed.

There is no need to use the banner of one's own country, but to use other people's resources for development, and there is no need to give a penny more, which is undoubtedly a new colonial method.

"I like it!" Meng Xiang was a little complacent. When the Indians find that their resources are exhausted and they don't have enough supplies to rise, I wonder if they regret their laziness.

Meng Xiang's attention was focused on the situation abroad, because the war at home had not changed much. Although the combination of heavy artillery and giant artillery of the vanguard army is simple, once it is formed into a scale, combined with the grasp of air supremacy, it is unbreakable. The base produces ammunition every day, and the giant artillery of the vanguard army has not stopped much, as long as there is a threatening target, it will bombard a few times.

And the devil can only stare dryly and sigh constantly. Under the cannon, ordinary fortifications are useless. Those strong fortifications did not have the time and conditions to build for the time being. No, only a slight return. With the Zero aircraft still suppressed and the number is insufficient, it is not yet possible to talk about continuing the offensive.

The defense line is temporarily unharmed, so Meng Xiang has more attention to the situation abroad, and he is not inserting a few tricks. But a piece of news suddenly drew his attention to the country.

"What? Wang Jingwei: Is this about to set up a pseudo-political axe? ”
