Chapter 113 Transporting Cultural Relics

In August 1948, the temperature in the north was the highest at this time, but such a high temperature did not warm the cold hearts of ordinary people.

The Nationalist government suffered repeated defeats on the frontal battlefield. At this time, Taiyuan had been besieged by the Communist army for several months, and this one of the few large cities in the north was about to change hands.

In the Northeast, the two sides also changed their offensive and defensive directions at this time. Changchun was completely surrounded by the communist army, but the national army in Shenyang did not come to the rescue. At this time, Changchun was standing still and waiting for help.

The battlefield in the Central Plains was also retreating steadily, and Zhengzhou, a big city in Henan, was also captured by the communist army at this time.

Several cities in Shandong have also been in the hands of the Communist army, and Jinan will soon be besieged.

At this time, in order to raise military expenditures, the national government issued a new currency - gold round coupons.

The government stipulates that all people in the Kuomintang-controlled areas, whether they are civilians, businessmen, or government officials, must exchange their oceans, gold bars, French currency, and U.S. dollars at home for gold coupons.

Originally, this national policy was still very good, especially at this time of internal and external troubles, but although the policy was good, when it came to implementation, it was not the case.

The upper echelons of the national government know that the national army does not have an advantage in any battlefield in the entire north, and half of the country is about to change hands, so who would be stupid enough to exchange the hard currency at home for that pile of waste paper at this time.

But some ordinary people don't know, even if they know, there is no reason for the soldiers who come to the door.

Therefore, a lot of funds have been raised from the private sector during a period of time, but after these funds have been peeled off layer by layer, very few of them finally fell into the national treasury, and the four major families took the lead.

Moreover, President Jiang ordered many cultural relics located in Beiping to be packed and transferred to the south, making two-handed preparations. Of course, outsiders do not know about this matter, but the safest way to transport cultural relics out is by sea, so the Tianjin Secrecy Bureau He received this special task. Of course, Wu Jingzhong was the only person in the entire Tianjin Secrecy Bureau who knew what the task was. The others only knew that it was to maintain law and order and ensure the safety of the pier. The escort team was all regular troops from Nanjing.

When Wu Jingzhong talked about this with Wang Mo and Yu Zecheng in the conference room, Yu Zecheng didn't respond yet, thinking that some high-ranking officials were transferring property, but Wang Mo knew what was going on as soon as he heard it.

Because Yu Zecheng was in charge of the action team, this task fell on Yu Zecheng, and Wang Mo was in charge of coordinating other departments.

After the meeting, everyone went to work on their own. Wang Mo asked the six sons to drive him to Ling Dai's work unit.

There are dense crowds of people on the road, all of whom are holding money in their hands to exchange for gold coupons, and some of them are holding gold coupons to buy things.

The car honked its horn along the way and drove forward slowly.

"Brother, what do you think the government thinks, that gold round coupon is not as good as a butt wipe, one price per day, and now many brothers in the station are very repulsed to receive gold round coupons." Six sons turned around and said.

"Who knows, maybe the people above know that the north can't hold it anymore, so let's search for a batch at last!" Wang Mo

After arriving at the government building, it is also a mess here, and you can basically see the situation of the entire national government.

Seeing Wang Mo coming to look for her, Ling Dai greeted others and came out.

"Why are you here?" Ling Dai asked curiously.

"Find a convenient place to talk." Wang Mo looked around and said quietly.

As soon as Ling Dai heard it, she knew that Wang Mo had important information to pass on by herself.

"Come with me." Ling Dai took the lead upstairs.

A room was opened on the third floor, and the two entered.

"What's the matter?" Ling Dai

"Is it safe to speak here?" Wang Mo asked

"Safe, this is my father's room, no one will come in casually." Ling Dai

"In three days' time, a batch of cultural relics will be transported from Beiping. They are going to be transferred to Taiwan. This is the first batch. It is expected that there will be no shortage. They are escorted by the Nanjing Garrison. The security of the periphery is kept secret by the Tianjin Garrison Command. Bureau, if you want to stop it, you must prepare enough people, and I guess there will be no shortage of guards by then." Wang Mo

"Why is there no news about such a big event?" Ling Dai asked in surprise.

"The people in charge of this matter are all from Nanjing. Even the Tianjin Secrecy Bureau is only known by Wu Jingzhong, and even I haven't notified you. You know how strict the secrecy measures are. And not only Beiping, but now the Central Bank of Shanghai is estimated to have started to transfer gold bars Now, this is their preparation for the worst, even if you occupy these places, it will be completely barren, and it will be hard for a clever woman to cook without rice." Wang Mo

"Okay, I got it. I'll spread the news before night. Is there anything else?" Ling Dai

"I don't know if it's accurate or not. Because your troops in North China are all on the front line in Taiyuan, so Xibaipo's guards must be insufficient. Commander Fu is secretly planning to attack Xibaipo, so as to encircle Wei and save Zhao, and temporarily dispel President Jiang. Let him send troops out of Shanhaiguan to rescue the Northeast, but I can't be sure about this news, I just heard it." Wang Mo

"Even the fake news has to be passed on, what if it is true? Is there any more?" Ling Dai

"No, that's all for now. You..." Wang Mo hesitated.

"What's wrong with me, isn't this the way you usually speak?" Ling Dai asked curiously.

Wang Mo put on his military cap again, "Forget it, let's talk about it later, I'll go first."

After speaking, she opened the door and went out. Ling Dai behind her was also suspicious when she saw his figure. She knew that Wang Mo must have something to say to her just now, but she seemed to have some considerations and didn't say anything.

In fact, what Wang Mo just wanted to ask was when Ling Dai was going to withdraw from Tianjin, because Wang Mo knew that as soon as the battle in Northeast China was over, it would be Tianjin's turn, and he didn't want Ling Dai to stay in Tianjin by then.

When the person in charge of the Communist Party in Tianjin received Ling Dai's information, they also realized the importance of the matter. Neither of these two matters was a small matter, and both of them needed to be reported to the central government, and they had nothing to do with it. intelligence.

When the central authority in Xibaipo received this information, they also held a meeting overnight, especially the first one, so many important cultural relics, they must not be allowed to be transported out, as for the second one, they don't know if it is true False, it takes time to discern.

Three nights later, when several cars were driving towards the pier in Tianjin in the dead of night, there were soldiers from the Security Command on both sides of the road, and there were also some personnel from the Operation Team of the Security Bureau at various intersections.
