"You're really bad enough, because Hans still treats you as a friend, and if you don't have this idea, you'll send Hans to death." When he met with Lu Yuan again, he learned that Hans was about to leave Shanghai and return to Germany to plan a counterfeit banknote plan, and Xu Huanshan couldn't help but teach Lu Yuan a lesson in person. Although some information provided by Hans indicated that the Germans were about to start a war in Europe, the war had not yet happened, and once Hans's plan to counterfeit money was exposed, Hans's fate would be miserable.

"You know, after the Japanese occupied Shanghai, you can see how much higher the prices were. In the past, merchants in Shanghai still recognized fiat currency, but now, when trading in large quantities, people only recognize foreign currency and ocean gold bars, and fiat currency is no longer valuable. What is the reason, that is, the Japanese were secretly counterfeiting fiat currency long before the war. The market is flooded with fiat currency, and the materials in demand are bought by the Japanese with counterfeit fiat money, and the prices on the market are naturally high. ”

Lu Yuan looked at Xu Huanshan with disdain, reports about the Japanese forging counterfeit banknotes during the war abound on the Internet in later generations, but Lu Yuan usually doesn't pay much attention to reports like this, otherwise he can now tell Xu Huanshan in front of Xu Huanshan about the locations where the Japanese made counterfeit banknotes in their homeland. Xu Huanshan knew that Lu Yuan was never ambiguous in some major matters, so Lu Yuan's words just now shocked Xu Huanshan, if what Lu Yuan said was true, the domestic economy would collapse step by step with the further coercion of the Japanese army.

"So, it's not just about military capabilities, it's about economic capabilities. If a country does not have the ability to produce the materials and equipment needed for war on its own, and there is no external channel to obtain these things, do you think the country still has the ability to continue fighting? Just like what we have done now, if it weren't for the fact that most of the factories in the enemy's war zone had already moved south, and they were just filling with human lives, we might not have been able to win this war in the next few decades. Lu Yuan's words made Xu Huanshan nod secretly, if it weren't for the backing of those factories that moved south, it would have been impossible for the national army, which had already been disrupted and disabled, to confront the Japanese army in a stalemate.

"But if you want Hans to counterfeit dollars, pounds, and fiat currencies, Britain and France have been intermediating, and besides, haven't the Americans also been providing financial assistance to the Nationalist government?" After a short silence, Xu Huanshan, who found that he had been deviated from the topic by Lu Yuan's words, turned the topic back abruptly.

"Bullshit mediation!" Lu Yuan was furious because of Xu Huanshan's words, "The First World War is a good example, the British and French did not take our China seriously at all, even if we sent hundreds of thousands of laborers to support the European war formation, but later, they did not give our Qingdao to the Japanese." And now, the Japanese occupy half of our country, have Britain, France and the United States said justice? They actually only care about their own interests, and occasionally help us speak, but also to balance interests, and it is also a loss to you who read books will believe it. ”

"The Americans could not be trusted, either, for if they had not supplied so much steel and supplies to the Japanese, they would have been able to produce so much war material in an island country like Japan, where no bird lays eggs. The Americans are now just sitting on the hill and watching the tiger fight, and once the war expands to the point where they see the point of interest, the Americans will immediately take action, just like a jackal sees food, and will never let go when it bites. ”

Britain, France and the United States can be regarded as the strongest countries in Europe, but in Lu Yuan's mouth, these three countries are all countries that are obsessed with interests and have no credibility at all, Xu Huanshan is somewhat unacceptable, but he can't find a place to refute Lu Yuan. "It is an indisputable fact that China is the largest country in Asia, and since the Japanese opened the war first, it is not up to the Japanese to decide when this war will end."

"My idea to Hans was not for nothing, and according to what I had received, the Germans had begun to equip themselves with new infantry weapons on a large scale. So, in the hands of the Germans, there is currently a large number of infantry weapons that have been produced and replaced in warehouses. Hans returned to Germany this time, and as long as he could persuade Hitler to start the counterfeiting program, a large number of German-style infantry weapons would soon be shipped to Asia, and China would be the recipient of these German-style weapons. ”

Lu Yuan didn't want to hide it from Xu Huanshan, but he didn't know that what he said had already surprised Xu Huanshan and almost turned his back on the spot. "What you say is true? Will there really be German-style weapons delivered to China? Xu Huanshan didn't care that this was a public place, so he directly grabbed Lu Yuan's arm, and asked with a distorted face. Being held tightly by Xu Huanshan's arm, Lu Yuan was not annoyed by this, because he knew the excitement in Xu Huanshan's heart at the moment.

"Naturally it's true, Lao Xu, we've known each other for so long, don't you know what kind of person I am." Lu Yuan patted Xu Huanshan's arm, which made Xu Huanshan sit down again. "Not only will a large number of German-style weapons be sent to China, but from next month, I will also provide Japanese-style weapons to the Eighth Route Army through various channels. It's just that I still need the help of your underground party, because I took the initiative to go to the door, and the Eighth Route Army may not be able to get my feelings, which still requires you to communicate in advance, and I don't want to be mistaken for a spy and locked up. ”

Leaving Shanghai and heading south into the war zone was something that Lu Yuan had been considering on his way back to Shanghai, and once the Germans provoked a war in Europe, the Japanese army in Shanghai would certainly find all kinds of excuses to reach into the concession. Once a war broke out between Britain and France and Germany, Japan, which was allied with Germany, would use this to deal with the British and French forces in Shanghai, and the concession would naturally bear the brunt of the new control of the Japanese army in Shanghai. The reason why Lu Yuan has been nourishing in Shanghai is that as long as he relies on the protection of foreigners like Hans, if the Japanese army in Shanghai starts to deal with foreigners in Shanghai, his own protection will be useless.

Since there is no external protection, Lu Yuan naturally has no possibility of continuing to stay in Shanghai, and it is better to go south and enter the war zone than to be treated as a slave by the Japanese army in Shanghai. "Lao Xu, I don't care what method you use to persuade your superiors, if you can't convince your superiors to support me before I leave Shanghai. Then, the Japanese-style weapons I got can only be handed over to the national army or other anti-Japanese forces, you know my temper, I am not a character who likes to rush. Lu Yuan stretched out his hand and tapped on the table with a calm face, and the sound of the knock was faintly like the sound of Jin Ge in Xu Huanshan's ears.

Xu Huanshan, who left the teahouse, looked a little serious, not because Lu Yuan said that he was leaving Shanghai, but because of Lu Yuan's expression when he said the last words, which was a kind of dispensable indifference. Xu Huanshan has never broken off contact with Lu Yuan, on the one hand, because of Lu Yuan's ghostly skills, and on the other hand, Lu Yuan left a large number of weapons and equipment for the local underground party several times when he left Shanghai. What the Eighth Route Army lacks most at present is weaponry, and as long as it has enough weapons and equipment, the Eighth Route Army will immediately be able to arm front-line troops with extremely combat effectiveness.

Moreover, Lu Yuan also said just now that the weapons and equipment he provided to the Eighth Route Army did not cost money, compared with the underground party's small-scale purchase of weapons from the national control area or the enemy's war zone, Lu Yuan's line can be regarded as cheap and high-quality without any risk. After separating from Lu Yuan, Xu Huanshan immediately contacted his superiors and relayed Lu Yuan's original words to his superiors word for word, including the Germans' plan to manufacture counterfeit foreign currency banknotes on a large scale.

"This Lu Yuan doesn't look very old, but he doesn't want to be a ruthless person." The news reported by Xu Huanshan was passed to Yan'an one by one, and after deliberation among the high-level leaders in Yan'an, the Shanghai underground party finally gave an answer. agreed to Lu Yuan's request in principle, and Xu Huanshan also became the only contact between the underground party and Lu Yuan, in other words, from now on, Lu Yuan can contact Xu Huanshan if he needs any help.

"I need information now, or I mentioned to you earlier, I need some intelligence information on traitors and traitors in Shanghai. Before I leave Shanghai, I want to teach the special high school and No. 76 a lesson, and by the way, I will also get some money for myself. You know I'm not a person who likes to live a hard life, even in a war zone, I want to be more comfortable. Knowing that Xu Huanshan had been authorized by his superiors, Lu Yuan, who was overjoyed, immediately made a request, but Xu Huanshan didn't expect that Lu Yuan still remembered the special high class and No. 76.

Because of the authorization of his superiors and Xu Huanshan's great help, the information that Lu Yuan needed began to appear in the study in a steady stream, and after careful consideration, Lu Yuan targeted several of the traitors. "Lao Xu, I still need a few helpers, just like the previous times, I want to give priority to people who can drive this time." Lu Yuan handed over the action plan he planned to Xu Huanshan, and after taking a closer look, Xu Huanshan was also speechless by Lu Yuan's audacity.

"Isn't this plan of action too bold? You're going to raid three places in one night, and if there's a problem with one of them, the whole operation will be dragged down, and it's a small matter if you don't make a mistake, and if you don't make a good scene, you may all be exposed. The Japanese have strengthened their security forces for a while, and if there is a deviation in the movement, it will be difficult for you to get out. Xu Huanshan, who had read the action plan, was worried, but Lu Yuan just laughed.

"Harvest always goes hand in hand, and if you want to reap the benefits and benefits, you have to put in more effort and come at the cost of danger. You know what I'm capable of, you just need to arrange the manpower at that time, and I'll take care of the rest. ”
