The decisive battle against the Third Reich

"Is there any problem, Captain?" Seeing Qin Chuan's silence, Colonel Koch asked Qin Chuan with some confusion: "I thought you would be willing to accept this suggestion!"

"I'm a soldier, Colonel!" Qin Chuan replied.

"Me too!" Colonel Koch replied.

There is no problem with this. The German police also have militarized training, which is why they can fight the guerrillas on the second line on the battlefield.

"But that doesn't affect your speech, does it?" Colonel Koch asked.

"That's not what I meant!" Qin Chuan replied: "I mean, as a soldier, I will choose a more direct, more effective, and more practical method instead of..."

As he spoke, Qin Chuan spread his hands and said: "I think speeches are just drawing cakes to satisfy hunger. It may be effective in the short term, but in the long run, it is even harmful because it makes the people feel like they have been deceived. , will make them lose confidence in Germany!”

"Uh-huh!" Koch replied with a smile: "You may be right and very insightful. In fact, you surprised me, Captain, because other people did not refuse this suggestion, and You are the exception!”

Qin Chuan knew that Koch's suggestion would only benefit him and not hurt him, because at least it would improve his reputation in Frankfurt and even Berlin, which would be a stepping stone for future promotions.

"But, Captain!" Koch said: "What other direct, effective, and practical methods can we have? You have also seen that the people have to use most of the materials and wealth they produce to support the front line. , for this reason, the vast majority of them can barely have basic living necessities, and these must even be exchanged for labor..."

"Colonel!" Qin Chuan replied: "That's what I'm talking about!"

"Oh, that's great!" Koch replied: "What can you do? Teach people to grow potatoes like you did in Africa? No, Captain, our people already know how to grow potatoes!"

From this sentence, we can see that Koch has conducted an in-depth investigation of Qinchuan.

"No, of course not!" Qin Chuan replied.

"I'm listening, Captain!" Koch raised his glass: "Tell me your method!"

"I went to Würzburg yesterday!" Qin Chuan said.

"I know!" Koch said: "Although it was not my fault, I was just trying to apologize to you for it!"

"That's not the point!" Qin Chuan replied: "The woman I saw was arrested for disguising her ID and counterfeit money!"

"Uh-huh!" Colonel Koch walked to the table, pulled out the cork of the wine, and poured wine into his own glass: "If you want to plead for a woman, I hope you won't say it!"

"No!" Qin Chuan replied: "I'm not begging for her, I'm just thinking... why don't we use people like her to make pounds or dollars?"

Hearing this, Colonel Koch couldn't help but look at Qin Chuan in surprise, so much so that the wine spilled out.

"You know!" Qin Chuan continued: "We are supported by many countries in Africa, such as Egypt, Libya, and even Greece, and these countries all use British pounds. If we can create counterfeit banknotes and hand them over To the guerrillas...do you know what this means? We don't need to provide additional assistance to these guerrillas. They can even use these counterfeit money to buy weapons and supplies from the British, which means using British equipment. and supplies to arm their enemies, and by the way put their financial system into crisis..."

"That's a good idea, Captain!" Colonel Koch interrupted Qin Chuan: "But you don't know how difficult it is to counterfeit pounds!"

"We have to try!" Qin Chuan said.

In fact, Qin Chuan may know much more than Colonel Koch in this regard... At this time, Germany was already secretly studying counterfeiting, and the progress was very rapid.

But there was an episode: Germany's No. 3 Heydrich ambitiously wanted to replace Himmler, the No. 2 man, and Himmler was responsible for making counterfeit banknotes. If the forgery was successful, it would be used. Heydrich was unfavorable, so Heydrich arrested and exiled several important figures who forged counterfeit banknotes on various charges, and the work of forging counterfeit banknotes was stranded.

Of course, these are high-level secrets for Germany. As the director of the Security Bureau, it is impossible for Koch to know these inside stories.

"Interesting!" Colonel Koch was silent for a while, then nodded and said, "You are right. If successful, this is indeed a direct, effective and practical method, because it will obviously save us a lot. Resources, we can even exchange them directly into the currency we need through Swiss banks and convert them into resources! ”

Colonel Koch is right, Switzerland is a neutral country, and more importantly, the Swiss Bank is a bank that does not ask about the origin of coins, only whether they are genuine or fake... So Germany can freely exchange counterfeit banknotes for real US dollars, francs, etc. , and then convert it into a physical object.

"But the premise is..." Colonel Koch said: "We have to make these counterfeit bills unrecognizable to them!"

"Just like I said!" Qin Chuan said, "Why don't we try?"

"Yes!" Colonel Koch raised his glass, touched it with Qin Chuan, and said, "This is no loss to us!"

Then Colonel Koch no longer hesitated, and immediately ordered Derwig to be taken from Würzburg to Frankfurt.

Colonel Koch's order was still very useful. An hour and a half later, Derwig was taken to the interrogation room of the Frankfurt Security Bureau.

Qin Chuan walked into the interrogation room while flipping through the information about Derwig in his hand, then sat in front of Derwig and said, "We meet again!"

"Yes!" Derwig looked surprised when he saw Qin Chuan's face: "I thought your National Defense Force wouldn't mix with the police!"

"Everything has exceptions!" Qin Chuan replied: "After all, we all serve Germany!"

"Okay!" Derwig looked a little restrained under the dazzling light: "Tell me, Captain, why did you bring me here?"

"Can't you guess?" Qin Chuan asked without answering.

Derwig thought for a while and then said with a smile: "You finally thought of using my skills!"

"You are very smart!" Qin Chuan expressed his sincere admiration.

"You are very smart too!" Derwig said: "I guess this was your idea, at least they didn't think of it!"

"Maybe!" Qin Chuan said, "But it's not important!"

"But I'm going to disappoint you, Captain!" said Derwig. "What you don't know is that counterfeiting pounds is an almost impossible task!"
