Ning Zhiheng nodded and said, "Then I'll leave it to you. Fortunately, this is a concession, so we don't need to worry too much about the Japanese. Find them as soon as possible, otherwise I'm really worried. I'm afraid they've already infiltrated our ranks and we're still completely unaware."
"Yes, Chief, I will make arrangements immediately. With this photo as a reference and the condition of having about a month, our search will be much easier."
Ji Hongyi is an outstanding worker, so Ning Zhiheng is quite at ease entrusting this matter to him.
At this moment, Huo Yueze took out a document and handed it to Ning Zhiheng, saying, "Chief, we acquired some intelligence yesterday. The content is very important, and we were just about to ask you for instructions."
Ning Zhiheng took it, examined it carefully, and was immediately startled. He asked, "Did you buy this from an American?"
Huo Yueze nodded and said, "The American printing company is specifically responsible for printing legal tender for our country. They print semi-finished legal tender in the United States and then transport it to the Nationalist government for the final printing work. This time, the Japanese launched a surprise attack on Guangzhou Bay, and their cargo ships were seized by the Japanese. Someone in the intelligence market found out that this batch of banknotes and printing presses will be transported to Shanghai in the near future. The Japanese will definitely complete the final printing in Shanghai and put it into the market."
Ning Zhiheng rubbed his forehead, saying with a severe headache, "This matter is extremely serious. A full ten billion yuan of legal tender. If they manage to print it successfully, it will disrupt the financial market and lower the value of the legal tender, resulting in severe losses for us. I must report to headquarters immediately and have them come up with a solution as soon as possible."
He then instructed Huo Yueze: "Immediately spread the word in the intelligence market and buy up any intelligence and information about this batch of banknotes and the printing press at high prices. I need to know where they are now, which department is in charge, and even the specific person responsible for printing these banknotes. Remember, at any cost!"
"Yes!" Huo Yueze nodded in acceptance.
After seeing them off, Ning Zhiheng hurried to the telecommunications group, handed the intelligence to Zuo Rou, and instructed, "Translate it into a telegram immediately and send it out urgently."
The telecommunications team is now well-staffed. The telecommunications personnel that Ning Zhiheng brought from headquarters are all highly skilled, and the rooms on the third floor of the Tan Mansion are all occupied.
The telecommunications group is now just waiting for the ordered telecommunications equipment to arrive so that it can set up a small telecommunications base to receive all the radio signals sent by the Japanese in Shanghai. This is also the most important direction of modern intelligence warfare.
Zuo Rou was the only team leader who had access to the coded message. She took the intelligence, read it through, and, realizing the seriousness of the situation, quickly began translating it.
Ning Zhiheng watched from the side until the translation was completed and handed to the telegraph operator. Only after the intelligence was successfully transmitted did he breathe a sigh of relief.
Zuo Rou followed Ning Zhiheng out of the telecommunications group and asked softly, "This matter is quite difficult. Headquarters will definitely send people to destroy this batch of banknotes and printing presses. Will the Director send us to do it?"
Ning Zhiheng shook his head and said in a low voice, "The Director is a man who values power above all else. He and I had agreed beforehand that I cannot interfere in any operations in Shanghai, otherwise he would think that our Baoding faction is resentful. We only need to provide intelligence."
Zuo Rou finally felt relieved. She didn't want Ning Zhiheng to take on such a difficult task. It was easy to imagine that the Japanese would protect this batch of legal tender very carefully. To destroy this batch of legal tender while surrounded by the Japanese would be like snatching food from a tiger's mouth, which was extremely dangerous.
Ning Zhiheng knew what she was thinking, took her hand, and comforted her with a smile: "Don't worry, our current missions are very safe. Whether it's buying intelligence or smuggling goods, I don't need to do anything personally. I just need to sit in the middle and oversee things. It's safe to say there's no risk at all."
Zuo Rou was immediately in a good mood. She smiled and said, "Sometimes when I think about it, you've risked your life and made so many contributions to get to where you are now. What does it matter? I just wish that you, your brothers, and your younger brothers can get through this war safely."
