Chapter 478 The real goal
The Shanghai Stock Exchange Financial Management Bureau, the full name of this department is the Jiangnan Region Financial Management Office.
Of course, it has another name in the Shanghai Stock Exchange, which is the Shanghai Branch of Japan Specie Bank.
This bank was opened after Shanghai was occupied by the Japanese. It has only been in operation for more than a year, but its business covers a wide range.
The mission that the Shanghai Military Control Station led by Zhao Lijun had received was to attack the HKMA at night, blow up its safe, and seize the gold reserves that the new government was preparing to use to issue new currency.
Yes, after Wu Gengshu, code-named Magician, left the Shanghai Stock Exchange, the task of preventing the issuance of new currency did not stop there.
The fighting on the European battlefield is now fierce, and the British also need financial support.
The Jinling government was just about to cooperate with the Bank of England to issue new currency, and the other party would certainly be very happy at this time.
If we just rely on a few people to negotiate, it will basically be just some nonsense.
The only way is to steal the reserve gold and make their plans fail.
This time, in order to prepare for the issuance of new currency, the new government almost pawned its underwear and finally managed to collect three tons of gold.
If this batch of gold was stolen, the new government would not be able to gather a certain amount of gold reserves in a short period of time.
This new currency issuance plan naturally became a joke.
When Chen Yang was a financial consultant, he had visited the Bank of China many times, and the surrounding conditions had long been entered into the system.
The system also analyzed that the only way to sneak in without causing any disturbance was to crawl into the backyard of the Monetary Authority through the sewer.
The guards of the Monetary Authority of Singapore were naturally no match for the professional agents. Within a few minutes, all the patrol officers were dealt with by the action team.
In that era, there was no surveillance video, and the action team cleared the entire building in less than half an hour.
Taking out the map he had prepared in advance, Zhao Lijun determined the location of the safe according to the location marked on the map.
The door of the safe is a special one, several centimeters thick steel door that requires a special key to enter.
Moreover, there are not just one key, but three.
It can only be opened with the presence of the department manager, the president of the Bank of Japan, and the director of the Financial Management Department.
However, the door is specially made, but it does not mention that the walls are also specially made.
It is always easier to blow up a wall than a door.
At this time, there were still 34 minutes left before the agreed pick-up time, and Zhao Lijun hurriedly asked everyone to hurry up and get to work. Ten boxes of explosives were fixed to the wall in order.
Two boxes of explosives were hidden under the bodies of the patrolmen.
If anyone moved the bodies or accidentally stepped on the fuse underground, it could explode at any time.
Everything was ready. Zhao Lijun calculated the time and prepared to blow up his safety pants...
At the same time, on the other side of the city, on Baqi Street.
The fighting on Baqi Street has been going on for some time.
More than twenty guards were not necessarily at a disadvantage when fighting against more than a hundred martial arts men.
However, there are heroes among the grassroots.
The closer the fight gets to the end, the greater the pressure these guards feel.
That’s because the thugs with little strength had been dealt with early on, and those who were left were naturally the best.
Seeing the number of guards decreasing, Fuqi's face finally became anxious.
"Commander Fu, we are here." At this moment, footsteps were heard on the long street, and countless Eight Banners descendants joined the battle with weapons in hand.
This unexpected change was indeed somewhat unexpected. The situation on the battlefield was reversed in an instant, and Fuqi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Tian Shenzhi and Ye Zhuoshan, who were on the second floor of the house, both changed their expressions when they saw the scene.
There were about two hundred people in this group of Eight Banners descendants, who were extremely brave. In just a few rounds, they defeated the group of people who were trying to steal national treasures.
Even with the dozens of people they brought, even if added together, they didn't seem to be of much use.
The two hesitated whether to retreat or not. It seemed there was no hope tonight.
When Wu Sibao saw this scene, a smile appeared on his face.
That’s right, now he has figured out Chen Yang’s plan.
The plan to steal the national treasure was fake. His goal was to unify Shanghai with the Green Gang.
The dispute between Baqi Street and the Green Gang is no longer a secret in Shanghai.
Previously, the Baqi Street had launched an unprovoked night raid on the Green Gang's territory, killing Jin Dayou, Lin Fusheng, Zhang Deqin and other big brothers of the Tong and Wu generations.
This incident even alarmed Mr. Zhang, the only surviving member of the older generation.
If Ma Yongzhen had not led the people of Xiaotongqiao to kill people indiscriminately that night and blew up Jingtai Tower, the Qing Gang would have lost all face.
In the end, the matter was only suppressed after Ma Yongzhen held a memorial service with Nalan Yuanji's head.
But secretly, the Qing Gang has always been unwilling to accept it.
Wu Sibao also came from a gangster background. He started fighting on the streets when he was a teenager. It was common for him to hack and chop people, and to be hacked by others.
Based on his understanding of Chen Yang, he must have spent so much time and effort going around left and right not just for these national treasures.
Eighty-one national treasures are nothing. Only after he has leveled the entire Eight Banners Street can the entire Shanghai market be truly under his control. Ma Yongzhen can also gain greater prestige and sit more firmly in his position.
These are much more valuable than national treasures...
"Don't panic, the fun has just begun, we have a chance."
Ye Zhuoshan was stunned for a moment and said, "Fourth Master, what do you mean by this?"
Wu Sibao seemed very confident and said: "You don't know that person, I know him very well."
"He is a very cautious person. I wondered why he would pay these cannon fodders to take advantage of him. So this is his idea."
"That person? Who?" Ye Zhuoshan was a little confused.
Wu Sibao smiled mysteriously and said, "Third Master, there is no need to ask so clearly. It is not good for you to know too much."
"We are just watching here. The show is just beginning."
Tian Shenzhi and Ye Zhuoshan both had puzzled looks on their faces, but neither of them moved.
I've already been waiting for a whole night, so I don't mind waiting a little longer.
The shouts and cries of killing on the long street soon spread to the periphery. Ma Yongzhen blew out a smoke ring, spit out the cigarette butt, and shouted to the people in front of him: "Go in and level the Eight Banners Street."
"Yes." Many voices said in unison, and countless figures raised their axes and gathered from all directions into a black torrent, rushing towards Baqi Street.
On Baqi Street, it seemed that this group of heroes were about to be wiped out.
At this time, a group of men in black rushed out from the street.
Those heroes seemed to have seen their savior, and the scene was like the "Water Margin" performed on stage.
He was clearly in a desperate situation and had lost all hope, but at this moment, a deep voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Don't panic, my good man. I'm here to help you."
In this situation, who wouldn't say that Master Ma is kind and righteous...
The black torrent was like a mountain torrent, carrying the Eight Banners descendants towards the other end.
Wu Sibao clapped his hands and said, "While the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits."
"Captain Tian, this matter is done, let's go down."
"Hahaha, the Fourth Master is still smart." Tian Shenzhi whistled, and the people hiding in the houses on both sides rushed down with pistols in their pockets.
