On August 11, the 98th Army dispatched 64 B29 strategic bombers to carry out carpet bombing of Jinzhou's outer positions. After the Japanese positions were greatly damaged, the 98th Army immediately dispatched a large number of tanks. With the help of Stuka bombers and Dauntless dive bombers, a fierce exchange of fire broke out with the Japanese outside Jinzhou. The Japanese soldiers were severely injured, but due to the fierce Japanese artillery fire in Jinzhou City, only a small number of the 98th Army's heavy artillery arrived in Jinzhou in time. So after a day of fierce fighting, the 98th Army took the initiative to withdraw from Jinzhou's peripheral positions, and Jinzhou's periphery fell into the hands of the Japanese again. On August 12th and 13th, the 98th Army once again dispatched a large number of B29 strategic bombers to conduct large-scale bombings of the Japanese peripheral positions and Japanese artillery positions. This marked the beginning of the 98th Army¡¯s large-scale bombing of Jinzhou. But during the three days when the 98th Army bombed Jinzhou, the entire Jiyuan fell into a state of extreme panic. All grain stores have stopped trading, which makes people feel extremely worried. The streets were full of soldiers with guns and MI5 agents searching for Japanese spies, and the roaring sirens never stopped from day to night. A large number of checkpoints have been set up at the borders between Jiyuan and surrounding cities, prohibiting the export of any food, and also temporarily prohibiting all legal currency transactions. Faced with this extremely bad situation, if many people hadn't bought half a month's worth of food, I'm afraid the whole Jiyuan would have been in chaos. But even so, various rumors began to spread in the city. Three days later. Many people got up early to see how the 98th Army planned to solve this problem. Lao Zhangtou is no exception. He got up at 5 o'clock today, washed his face, put on a vest and went to the street. But unlike others, he had already gotten some information beforehand and knew that the 98th Army was likely to issue a new currency. He is not particularly optimistic about the approach of the 98th Army. It is definitely not easy to get people to give up their familiar fiat currency and use a new currency. But his superiors asked them to take the lead and work hard to support the policies of the 98th Army. This, of course, made Lao Zhangtou feel extremely confused. Soon after taking to the street, he found many people gathered together, so he quickly walked over and found that people were talking around a notice on the wall. There were two police officers near the sign maintaining order. Soon Lao Zhangtou saw a student-looking person in the crowd, so he hurriedly said. "Oh, primary school essay, what's on that notice, please read it to everyone." "Okay, Uncle Zhang." The student said quickly. "Due to the sabotage by Japanese spies in the past few days, our county's economy has been seriously damaged. Almost all the grain stocks have been snapped up by Japanese spies. Therefore, starting today, our county has temporarily stopped the circulation of all legal tenders to prevent Japanese spies. "The evil plan continues to succeed." Hearing this, many people were shocked. Isn't legal currency allowed to be used? Then isn¡¯t the money in their hands invalid? "In response, the county will issue a new currency, anti-war coins, to temporarily tide over this difficult time. Everyone can hold their account book and then go to Huaxia Bank (a bank opened by the 98th Army) to The legal currency in the currency can be exchanged for anti-war coins at a ratio of 1:1. The county also promises that all anti-war coins can be exchanged for anti-war coins at the market price at any time. " "Although anti-war coins can be exchanged for anti-war coins, any anti-war coins are strictly prohibited on the market. Circulation. There is only one kind of anti-war currency allowed in the market. Once any transaction using ocean or legal currency is discovered, all transaction money and goods will be confiscated immediately, and a fine of 30 anti-war coins will be imposed. If anyone is found using legal currency or ocean transactions, the user will be forced to undergo labor reform." After hearing his words, everyone started talking again. It¡¯s a good thing that the anti-war coins can be exchanged for oceans, but if they are exchanged for oceans, they are not allowed to circulate. What¡¯s the point? ?Compared to the Anti-Japanese War coins, people obviously have more trust in metal currencies like Dayang. "Here we hope that everyone will not accept money from unknown sources, because the number of anti-war coins exchanged by everyone will be recorded. Once we find that the amount of currency exchanged does not match your property, we will investigate the source of your property. Once It is determined that the source of the holder's property is unknown, and we will consider treating the holder as a Japanese spy." Hearing this, many people took a breath. This is really cruel. He was directly labeled as a Japanese spy. How do you deal with Japanese spies??Of course he was dragged out to get shot. Hearing this, some people who were originally planning to have some evil thoughts immediately gave up the idea. "In addition, the local government refuses foreign merchants to use legal currency to exchange for anti-war coins. There is only one way for foreign merchants to obtain anti-war coins, and that is to use oceans to exchange for anti-war coins. The county temporarily refuses to use any legal currency. Once any foreign merchants are found to use oceans Or trading in legal currency will be regarded as the same crime as the locals. " "" It took a full two minutes for the primary school student to finish reading this notice. This notice made relatively strict regulations on the use of currency in Jiyuan. Although there must be some loopholes due to the rush of time, overall there are not many problems. After Lao Zhangtou returned home, he discussed the matter with his wife, and then asked a little confused: "What do you think we should do? Should we exchange all our money for anti-war coins?" His wife also frowned. Wrinkle tightly, this is a major matter related to your own property, there must be no carelessness. "We'd better exchange all the legal currency into oceans first, and then exchange a small amount for some anti-war currency. This is the safest way." His wife thought for a while and said. The simplest citizen¡¯s thinking allowed her to make the simplest and most correct judgment in the shortest time. Old Zhangtou also agreed very much after hearing this. It is indeed a mature strategy for the country. Dayang is still the safest these days. And even if those anti-war coins are scrapped, there should not be much loss. ****** ****** ****** Inside the military headquarters of the 98th Army. Lu Mingxuan, Zhang Yushu, Zhang Boya, Zhang Qinglian and others all paid close attention to the exchange of anti-war coins today, and even the war in Jinzhou was temporarily put aside by them. "Reporting to the military, our ocean has been exchanged for 1 million yuan, and the anti-war currency has only been exchanged for 9,000 yuan." "I understand." Lu Mingxuan said. After Huaxia Bank started its exchange business, someone would come to report to him basically every hour. And in order to avoid some people pretending to be others, all residents who come to exchange are exchanged under the organization of the local security chief and armor chief. This ensures to the greatest extent that someone pretends to be someone else and comes to exchange for the ocean. Sometimes Lu Mingxuan is really grateful for the Baojia system of the Republic of China, because this system minimizes the possibility of enemy spies infiltrating. "It seems that people still prefer Dayang." Lu Mingxuan said to Zhang Boya with a wry smile. "Of course this is human nature." Zhang Boya nodded slightly. "Reporting to the military seat. Our ocean has been exchanged for 3 million, and the anti-war currency has been exchanged for more than 30,000 yuan." "" "Reporting to the army, our ocean has been exchanged for 10 million, and the anti-war currency has been exchanged for More than 90,000 yuan." Hearing this, Lu Mingxuan's face began to sweat. 10 million oceans, when did Jiyuan have so much money? "Reporting to the military, our Dayang has been exchanged for 20 million yuan. The anti-war currency has been exchanged for 190,000 yuan." "I understand." Lu Mingxuan nodded, and then said to Zhang Boya: "Mr. Zhang, I'm afraid I have to trouble you today. I went to Luoyang and exchanged these French coins for oceans." "You're so polite, this is what I should do," Zhang Boya said quickly. They had made a decision three days ago. After accumulating a certain amount of legal currency, they would transport the legal currency to other places and exchange it for the ocean to transport back again. This will ensure that the 98th Army¡¯s ocean reserves will not be exhausted. After saying that, Zhang Boya left here and prepared to go to Luoyang. Of course, there was a newly established armored division going to Luoyang with him. After all, this was 20 million French currency. Lu Mingxuan felt like crying if he was robbed on the way. ¡°In addition, notify all the big households in the city and let them exchange for the ocean in two days. If they are willing to do so, we will record their affection.¡± Lu Mingxuan said to a messenger beside him. "Yes. Military seat." After the messenger left, Lu Mingxuan sighed. Unexpectedly, there was a time when he begged the wealth leaders. He believed that those wealthy locals wouldn't mind giving him face, otherwise he would have to find an opportunity to visit them in the future. When Dayang redeemed 30 million, the exchange rate slowly slowed down. It was not until eight o'clock in the evening that Hua Xia Bank stopped operating. LuMingxuan's Dayang exchanged a total of 35 million coins, while people exchanged only a little more than 300,000 anti-war coins. Lu Mingxuan could only smile bitterly at this point. 35 million yuan flowed from his hands to the people. This will be a big challenge to his financial situation. But overall, this is a pretty good start, after all, nothing major happened today. The next step is to force the promotion of anti-war coins. He believes that as long as this kind of thing is implemented carefully, there shouldn't be much of a problem. ******* ******* On August 15, a piece of news spread almost as quickly as possible throughout China. Because Japanese agents used a large amount of legal currency to purchase food and other livelihood supplies in Jiyuan, the food in Jiyuan was almost sold out, and Jiyuan's economy was also severely damaged. According to the estimates of the 98th Army, the losses suffered this time were at least 50 million French currency. After this battle, Jiyuan's economy suffered heavy losses, and the losses were unprecedented. And because the grain reserves were sold out, a large number of residents took to the streets to buy food, which almost caused an explosion. In order to avoid the occurrence of explosions, the 98th Army had to contribute what little military rations it had to meet people's needs for food. At the same time, the 98th Army spent a large amount of military expenditures to purchase food in surrounding cities. In view of the serious consequences of this destruction, the 98th Army solemnly announced that they will temporarily issue a currency anti-war currency to resist financial attacks by Japanese spies. As soon as this news came out, the whole country was in an uproar. Although many people understand Lu Mingxuan's behavior, some people think that Lu Mingxuan's behavior is obviously excessive. It is wrong for China to issue its own currency when there is still a central government, especially those newspapers controlled by the Kuomintang. Lu Mingxuan's behavior has been criticized at length. "Niang Xipi! Niang Xipi!!" Chiang Kai-shek suddenly felt like he had been shot while lying down. It was obvious that the Japanese came to Jiyuan to cause destruction, but why did the fire finally hit him? "Go and send electricity to Lu Mingxuan. His behavior is treason! Does he understand treason? I order him to stop issuing anti-war coins immediately, otherwise I will remove him from all positions!" Chiang Kai-shek said a little hysterically. Chen Cheng looked embarrassed. Although he thought the first half of Chiang Kai-shek's words was not wrong, the second half was a bit too much. So he had to say carefully: "Commissioner, please stay calm. I think that removing Lu Mingxuan from his position will not help. His subordinates will still be loyal to him. And if you do this, it may even make us and 98 You must think twice about the possibility of a military meeting. " Chiang Kai-shek knew that he was just talking out of anger, and I'm afraid he wouldn't agree to it if he really did this. But he still said with an annoyed look: "Then what do you think I should do? Do you just want to see what anti-Japanese coins he issues?" "Look at this, is this still my country? Those Communist troops don't listen to my orders. Forget it, but look at the Kuomintang, how many of them are willing to listen to me seriously? How many of them have paid taxes to me? I think they all have their own agenda. Warlords! Scum! They are all the worms of the country!" Chiang Kai-shek became more and more angry, as if he wanted to kill them all. Although Chen Cheng understood Chiang Kai-shek's difficulties, he also understood Lu Mingxuan's difficulties. It is true that the Japanese spies used French currency to buy things in the Kuomintang-controlled areas, causing huge damage to the economy of the Kuomintang-controlled areas. ¡°But the Kuomintang-controlled area is very large after all, and the damage caused is limited no matter how bad it is. But Jiyuan is different. It is just a small place and cannot withstand the impact of millions or tens of millions of French currency. This kind of impact caused too much damage to a small place. Although he understood Lu Mingxuan's behavior, it did not mean that he agreed with his actions. At this moment, a staff officer knocked on the door and came over, then handed him a telegram. "Report to the chairman of the committee, Lu Mingxuan's telegram." "I would like to see how he plans to explain this matter." Chiang Kai-shek said with a sneer.
