C3079 Xiao Hexin in the South China Sea (1/2)
December 18, 1870, a super typhoon is brewing in the South China Sea. A sail battleship with a Chinese flag on its head is riding the wind and breaking the waves, heading towards Brunei.
Inside the command cabin of the battleship, the Chinese Minister of Residence Xiao Hexin was silently looking at the sea map.
Beside Xiao Tian King stood a group of young heroic military officers. Among them, there were a few new faces: Fang Dong, Wu Haoran, Huang Wanxia … They were all rookies that had emerged from the Kalimantan Island war and became important senior figures in China.
”Is everyone ready?” Xiao Hexin said indifferently.
”Reporting to General, three days ago, the last batch of brave warriors had already arrived. The people's ships that were recruited in the plan have all been put in place and are now waiting for the orders of the European leader!”
”They're all done …” Xiao Hexin raised his head and looked at the sky: ”But the sky is not beautiful yet, why does it look like a typhoon is coming in December?”
”General!” ”You don't have to worry, typhoons in the South Sea are extremely rare. At most, it will only cause heavy rain, and even if we suffer losses, we will be able to withstand it!”
”That's right!” General, please give the order. If you are afraid of death, don't fight. ”The Führer has won a series of battles in Europe. If we fail to achieve any victories, wouldn't it be a shame for us?”
”In the future, when our European brothers return, wouldn't we be ashamed to death?”
Xiao Hexin looked at the coastline that was faintly visible in the distance and laughed coldly, ”Manager Fan, Liu Chouchu, are there any rewards? I put all the burden of logistics on them! ”
”Don't worry, I'll keep an eye out for you. Nothing will go wrong!” A coquettish voice came out. The woman in the corner was Hidden Fog Kid.
Xiao Hexin looked at her silently, then suddenly stood up with a serious face: ”Everyone stand at attention!”
Pa! All the people inside command cabin saluted. Xiao Hexin opened an envelope and saw that it contained a telegram from Europa.
”Received the Führer's latest order! Operation Three Treasures immediately began! Each department will act according to the original plan! ”We must complete the mission no matter the cost!”
”When the leader returns, we must turn the entire South Sea into our inner lake!”
Everyone's face turned red as they shouted, ”Please do not worry, Leader, we will definitely complete this mission!”
Xiao Letian had gone to Europe, and Xiao Hexin and the rest who stayed in Asia were not idle either. A huge plan had been made for more than a year, and the Chinese people had invested more than $50 million into it.
The central bank led by Fan Lian had almost hollowed out the currency circulation in the Chinese market. If not for the fact that they had a very high credit rating, the Chinese financial markets would have crumbled long ago.
Xiao Hexin was very clear that the Chinese national treasury had already used up all of its silver and gold. If there was really a large scale public exchange of paper money for silver, the Chinese people would not have any money to exchange for silver.
This was an extremely dangerous operation, Liu Chouchu had once said that as long as there was a surge of more than 20 million silver taels appearing, the Chinese Central Bank would have to close the doors.
It was too dangerous, but it was also too exciting. Anyone who played with finance would want to experience such an exciting game once in a lifetime.
Right now, the Chinese currency market was based on the news of victory in the military!
