Chapter 143: Where Does the Money Come From?
Seeing this, Hu Weidong smiled and said, "I haven't finished speaking, you must know that Japan's underworld also has a deep impact on the army, especially the army, even if you only control a fraction of the gangsters in Japan, it is enough to influence thousands of Japanese troops, and even seize control of certain troops, this is the capital of your start, you must know that even our Chinese revolution is because it has mastered a part of the regular army from the beginning, it is possible to develop to the current point, if it all depends on the workers and peasants who have no combat experience, Without the core of officers and veterans in the army, how easy is it to quickly become a real army? In addition, if we can successfully reform and pass the test, the Japanese officers and soldiers captured in the war will also become the starting troops of the Japanese revolution in the future."
The three of them were all pleasantly surprised, they had all been in China for more than a year, how could they not know the truth that "power comes out of the barrel of a gun"? Hu Weidong went on to say, "In addition to soldiers, you must also have money."
As he spoke, Hu Weidong pointed out to the three Japanese comrades a shortcut to making money -- making counterfeit banknotes
The yen security jishu of this period was not advanced, but it was probably the most difficult banknote to counterfeit on the shijie, because several of the materials used were from rare tree species that were only found in Japan, so no matter how hard other countries tried to find a way, they could not imitate the counterfeit banknotes that could be counterfeited (a small amount is still possible, but it is meaningless). )。 However, the Japanese Communist Party was close to the water, and it was relatively easy to obtain materials, as long as there was the corresponding jishu equipment, it was possible to print counterfeit yen coins that could be messed with, and it was not difficult to find a relationship to arrange one or two people to work (study) in the banknote printing factory with Ozaki Shu's connections. Of course. This kind of forgery can be resolved as long as Japan issues a new version of the yen, but Hu Weidong does not intend to carry out a destructive mass forgery anyway. It's just that tens of millions of yen are printed every year to draw some blood from the Japanese, and it should be difficult for the Japanese government to detect it.
Hu Weidong's wishful thinking was very loud, but if this idea was to be put into practice, it was inseparable from Ozaki Hidemi, the only member of the Japanese Communist Party who had a certain status and connections, but this person directly belonged to the leadership of the Comintern in terms of organizational relations, not to mention that he was also an important member of the famous "Sorge Group" in the history of Shijie espionage. Although the "Sorge Group" has obtained a lot of important information in its history, there is a huge loophole, that is, so many members of this group actually have multi-directional connections, that is, the Japanese government only needs to find one of them and seize the list obtained from interrogation, so that all the members of this group will not want to slip through the net. Compared with the one-way contact method invented by Zhou Gong, the contact information of the Sorge group was simply a joke on the lives of comrades. Historically, they have all been arrested for this. The members of the group were either killed or imprisoned, causing huge losses to Shijie's anti-fascist war.
For this reason, Hu Weidong specially communicated with Ozaki Hidemi, but Ozaki Hidemi thought that it was too late to withdraw from the Sorge group, as long as the other group members did not know about instant noodles and counterfeit banknotes, there would be no major problems. He believed that even if he was caught, he would never succumb to torture and betray his comrades. At this point, Hu Weidong had no choice but to say no more, after all, he was still only a small character in China's party organization, so where was he qualified to order Ozaki Hidemi, a veteran of the Japanese Communist Party? Anyway, Ozaki Hidemi was not arrested until the eve of the outbreak of the Pacific War, and the money earned from printing counterfeit banknotes in a few years was enough for the Japanese Communist Party to grow and develop
However, this also prompted Hu Weidong to promote the "de-internationalization" of the Japanese Communist Party according to the original plan, and all nine former Japanese prisoners of war who accompanied him were retained, and the number suddenly exceeded that of the original Japanese Communist Party members, and most of them would be responsible for the most important gangster infiltration of Jihua. In the future, the new members of the Japanese Communist Party will certainly be much more developed than the original members, and when they take over the Japanese Communist Party, the Japanese Communist Party will naturally obey the orders of Yan'an, and will no longer obey the orders of the distant Comintern. Ozaki Hidemi couldn't help it if he was dissatisfied, unless he was willing to push out such a strong new liliang, not to mention that even now there were at least two pro-China factions among the three of them. Even he, Hidemi Ozaki, himself, can't tell whether he is closer to China or the Soviet Union...,
As for the fact that these people had been poisoned by militarist ideology, Hu Weidong was not very worried; first, the Red Army had confirmed that they had no blood debts; second, Hu Weidong also believed in the power of the Red Army's ideological education; and third, they had all withstood the test of the organization. As a matter of fact, perhaps because of the contrast between the old and new armies, as long as those "liberation fighters" in history have withstood sufficient tests, they are even more loyal to the party than the fighters in the liberated areas. What's more, these guys have all handed in the "vote certificate".
In order to avoid future accidents, these people did not forge new identities, but spent money to ask the old army to issue a certificate as deserters, restore their household registration and retire from the army, thus completely solving the trouble of identity, and being able to carry out the tasks assigned by Hu Weidong openly. At the same time, Hu Weidong also reasoned (indeed reasonable) to exclude Ozaki Hidemi from the leadership of the New Japanese Communist Party on the grounds that he was no longer suitable to engage in party leadership after infiltrating the top level of Japan, and simply existed as a high-ranking spy (his status would not be low after the victory, but during the incubation period, except for his downline, he generally did not have the right to command any party comrades, which is the rule of intelligence work). At this point, the "rebuilt" Japanese Communist Party and the newly established "Anti-War League" have basically cleared the influence of the Comintern, and completely obeyed Yan'an, which is currently not done in the Chinese Red Party, and Hu Weidong can't help but sigh after the incident, "It seems that there are fewer people and fewer people"
Among the nine men, there was a special Osaka man who was tasked with setting up an instant noodle factory in Japan. The reason why Hu Weidong chose to produce in Japan and not make such a far-reaching shijie invention in China is because the price of polyethylene packaging bags for instant noodles is still relatively high, and the shelf life of paper packaging is too short, so most of the current Chinese cannot afford to consume, and with the current situation in China, it is also very inconvenient to sell. This is not the case in Japan, where Japanese people generally like to eat noodles, and their incomes are always higher than in China, and the country is relatively stable, and the market prospects are much better. Besides, even if Hu Weidong is the first to make instant noodles in China, he will definitely be plagiarized by the Japanese soon, and I don't know who will take the benefits, so it is better to do it himself and earn money to help China in the war of resistance, which is much more cost-effective. The Osaka man had a noodle shop at home and had some relevant experience, and it was extremely difficult for the Chinese to do business in Japan, while the Japanese were much more convenient, so Hu Weidong handed over the matter of instant noodles to him, hoping to raise more funds for the development of the Japanese Communist Party through this new invention that appeared in advance.
