Rebirth of the National Marshal

Chapter 61: Assets of Specie Bank

"What the hell is that? Commander, don't I say that this Type 30 rifle is really useless? Look at how small its caliber is. It will just make a hole when it hits a person, and it won't do much damage. Look at this Type 30 light machine gun, it's far inferior to our Czech light machine gun. How can we use this thing? Look at this Type 250 heavy machine gun, when it's in use, there has to be someone loading ammunition next to it. If the bullets can't keep up, the machine gun will be useless. The worst thing is that there are only rounds in a row. What can a heavy machine gun do with rounds? Although our Maxim is a bit old, we can make as many -round ammunition belts as we can. Why do we collect these broken weapons?" When Zhang Dashan heard about cleaning up the battlefield, he said so many strange things. It was no wonder. They didn't think highly of the Japanese weapons supplied by Mao Yuanshan. They only cared about the Japanese artillery, but the problem was that the artillery had been blown up long ago.

"Stop talking nonsense to me, kid. Go to the 29th Army and see what they are still using. Even if the Type 29 rifle is not as good, it is much better than the Hanyang rifle. Also, collect all these bullets. I will need them in the future." Director Mao had his own ideas for doing this. There were people from the th Army around. If they saw that he didn't even clean up the battlefield, these things would really be rubbish to him. He couldn't let them think that he was so rich, otherwise how would he explain so many weapons and ammunition in the future?

Zhang Dashan reluctantly ordered his brothers to clean up. Seeing the looks of his men, Director Mao became furious and kicked two soldiers in succession before he started to move.

Stare, annihilate the Japanese Army's Fourth Guard Battalion, and be rewarded with 1926 merit points. Kill 12 Japanese officers and soldiers, and be rewarded with merit points.

Wow, he originally had over 100,000 merit points, and now so many more have come. Director Mao really feels that his merit points are not being spent quickly enough, mainly because he has not yet unlocked some of the more expensive weapons. If those planes, warships and the like come out, these few merit points will definitely not be enough.

"Captain, come and see, there is a warehouse here, we are going to make a fortune." Zhuzi came running over shouting, Director Mao looked at him with contempt, what could make you so happy? If you want to hang out with us, you have to have a long-term vision, there will be so many good things in the future, what did you find that makes you so happy.

"I say, Zhuzi, you are the battalion commander after all, and you have 2000 brothers under you. Look at what you look like. What kind of thing can make you so happy? You have to be a little cunning and remain calm even when faced with a collapse of the mountain." Director Mao was about to say a few more words to Zhuzi, but he stopped talking immediately when he saw that Zhuzi was holding four gold bars in his hand. My goodness, there is gold in this place.

"Captain, I'm not short-sighted. There are simply too many things here. Come and take a look. There are several boxes of gold like this." Director Mao was no longer calm. These days, gold is the best store of value. Thinking of the news that Monkey had spread some time ago, some things from the Specie Bank and the Japanese Concession were being transported to the barracks outside the city. Could it be that they were being transported to this place?

When Director Mao rushed to the warehouse, he was dumbfounded. The dozen boxes of gold were just opened and placed there, and the remaining dozens of boxes were all filled with valuables. Looking inside, he saw bundles of banknotes, including legal tender, Japanese yen, US dollars, and British pounds. How much money was there?

The Japanese Zhengjing Bank can be said to be an economic invasion agency of the Japanese devils in China. It is absolutely no problem to say that it is rich enough to rival a country. Mao Yuanshan felt that things were getting serious and immediately gave an order in his mind to summon all the clone soldiers nearby and exclude all the others. It's not that he didn't trust his men, but people have emotions and desires, and it is inevitable that they will tell these secrets when they are drunk or talking in their sleep. The clone soldiers are completely loyal, so there is no need to worry about them telling these things.

"Zhang Dashan, tell your brothers to keep today's events secret and not tell anyone. Each of them will be given an extra ten dollars." Looking at Director Mao's face, Zhang Dashan knew that the matter was serious, so he agreed and quickly told his brothers to keep the secret.

"Throw the other things here first, gather all the means of transportation, and immediately transport these things back to the security team." They are really too valuable.

The clone soldiers were counting and loading the goods at the same time. Their efficiency was very high. Only one-third had been transported away so far, but the estimated value of the gold and foreign currency was over 1 million silver dollars.

It is no wonder that there is so much money. Zhengzheng Bank can be said to be a relatively large bank. Some Chinese dignitaries also like to keep their money there. There is nothing they can do about it. In the old days, banks opened by Chinese people tended to go bankrupt quickly. Banks opened by foreigners are different. Their banks are backed by powerful powers and can continue to operate as long as they do not make major mistakes.

The last few boxes turned out to be some antique calligraphy and paintings. Although Mao Yuanshan didn't know much about these things, he knew that they were huge treasures. Their value was very low during wartime, but in peacetime these things were worth a lot of money, definitely much more expensive than the gold carried out before.

It took hundreds of horse-drawn carriages several trips to transport all the things here back to the security team. Although some people were suspicious during the process, everything was covered tightly and the security team had just won, so no one came to make trouble.

Watch out, successfully seized a large amount of supplies from Japan's legitimate bank and was rewarded with 5 merit points.

It turns out that the system also has its own judgment criteria. It didn't give it to me when I found it just now. Now that I have shipped the things back, they are in my pocket. The clone soldiers made a rough estimate and found that the total value should be around 5000 million oceans. However, there is no way to estimate the value of antiques, calligraphy and paintings, jewelry and the like, and the clone soldiers don't have that ability.

"Immediately take people to support the Chief of Staff to stop the Second Garrison Battalion. If it doesn't work, kill them. It's not the first time we've done it anyway." After returning to the headquarters, Director Mao discovered that the Chief of Staff and Xie Tianhua were still leading people to stop the Second Battalion.

"Okay, commander, don't worry. I will take the first battalion and beat the shit out of these Japs." The morale of the security regiment was greatly boosted after this great victory.

To be honest, the Chief of Staff and Xie Tianhua had a difficult time fighting, mainly because Xie Tianhua's independent battalion had only been established for more than half a month, and the training had not kept up. At the beginning, there was a lot of trouble, and nearly 100 people died.

However, with the help of veterans and clone soldiers, the situation was quickly stabilized. The Japanese Second Battalion's heavy weapons were not as good as the Fourth Guard Battalion, and they were the attacking party, so they suffered greater losses. Now they have lost 1/3 of their people, but they still haven't broken through the defense line. A regiment of the 29th Army is already rushing towards this side.

"Chief of Staff, the regiment commander has won the victory. Battalion Commander Zhang and a battalion of troops are here. Should we fight off these Japs or annihilate them completely?" Xie Tianhua said while holding a telescope and looking at the chief of staff Wang Bing in front of him.

"We can't compare with the regiment commander's men. The regiment commander leads all the elite troops. We are all second-line troops. It is already very difficult to fight on equal terms with the Japanese. Together with the regiment of the 29th Army, we just need to force the Japanese to retreat. Besides, the regiment commander has seized such a large batch of supplies. The Japanese will definitely not give up. We should preserve our limited strength." Xie Tianhua also nodded. He was afraid that the chief of staff would get hot-headed and lead these people up. You know, those people in the independent battalion are all good seedlings, but they just lack training.

The Japanese Second Battalion had been attacking for a long time but had suffered heavy casualties. They heard that the Fourth Battalion had been completely wiped out and there was no strategic significance for them to pass through here. They saw that the regiment of the 29th Army had already deployed its forces. If the enemy really attacked, they might be able to wipe out the Second Battalion. The Japanese devils would never allow both battalions to be wiped out by the Chinese soldiers on the same day, so the captain of the Second Battalion wisely announced a retreat.

When the North China Garrison Command received the news, they were shocked. How could the Chinese wipe out a special brigade of 2000 people within two hours? Even if the Chinese used twice the number of troops, it would be impossible. Even if they used more than five times the number of troops, they would not be able to do anything.

Coupled with the large amount of property of the Japanese Specie Bank, the Japanese devils really couldn't bear it this time. Originally, they were the provocative party in North China, but they didn't expect that now they would become the ones being provoked.

The North China Garrison Army liquidated all its troops. Originally there were more than 2000 people killed, but now there are less than 29 people left. According to their thinking, as long as they can wipe out the security group, there will be absolutely no problem. But the problem is that there is a 29th Army watching them covetously. If they win, it will be fine. If they lose, the th Army will not just stand by and watch. It will definitely pounce on them like a tiger. At that time, everything the empire has done in North China will be ruined.

Finally, these masters of the North China Garrison Army decided to report the situation here to the headquarters and let them see what to do. If you want to attack, our current strength is definitely insufficient. Even if we defend on the spot, we will need to add two more battalions.

The reply from the Japanese military headquarters came quickly. They were going to attack, but they had to transport troops from mainland Japan, which would take one or two months. During this period, they should not have any conflict with the Chinese, and they should not publicize the large amount of property lost by the Specie Bank. Once it was publicized, people all over the world would know that a Chinese security group had killed one of their special battalions. This would definitely be a huge blow to the morale of the entire Japanese.

Since the Japanese didn't want to publicize this, Master Mao, who made a fortune quietly, certainly wouldn't tell anyone about it. If others knew that he had 5000 million yuan, who knows how many people would come to ask for money? It's better to ask for money from the door. The most feared thing is those who openly rob. The 29th Army has been poor for a long time, and there is no guarantee that they won't have other ideas.

The central government was also rather strange this time. Normally, with such a big incident, the Japanese would definitely launch a tough military attack, and they would be held responsible diplomatically. But now the Japanese are silent. Since the Japanese said nothing, the weak central government would not take the initiative to cause trouble. This incident was balanced among all parties as if it had never happened. Everyone avoided talking about it, and only the ordinary people spread the word through the grapevine that the security corps had killed a battalion of Japanese devils.
