The decisive battle against the Third Reich

The Germans transported Heydrich's body back to Berlin and held a grand funeral for him.

The funeral was attended by dignitaries of the Third Reich and personnel from the navy, army and air force, but figures like Qin Chuan and Colonel Koch did not attend the funeral.

The two listened to the live broadcast of the funeral on the radio at the Security Bureau, as well as Hitler's speech:

"I have only a few words to say about the deceased: He was the best Nazi Party member, the most powerful defender of German ideals, and the most powerful opponent of Germany's enemies. He was the most powerful person in the defense of Germany's security. And sacrificed. As the head of the party and the country, I must award you, dear Comrade Heydrich, the highest honor... the German Order of Merit. You are the second person to win this honor since the Nazi Party ruled Germany. people!"

(Todt refers to Fritz Todt. He was not only a scientist but also the German Minister of Arms, responsible for the operation of Germany's labor force and various engineering constructions. Germany's highways, ports, airports and fortress defense lines, including the Atlantic Wall, were Built under his leadership, he died in a plane crash a few months ago)

Then, Heydrich's coffin was carried to its destination amid Beethoven's "Eroica Symphony"... He was buried in the cemetery on Scharnhorst Strasse.

It was only then that Colonel Koch breathed a sigh of relief, and the stone hanging in his heart was completely put down.

The next second, Colonel Koch stood upright in front of the radio, took off his hat, lowered his head and observed a few minutes of silence.

Qin Chuan could understand Colonel Koch's feelings. Although they became enemies with Heydrich due to differences in some aspects, it was undeniable that Heydrich made contributions to Germany that ordinary people could not match.

Qinchuan was a little numb, because for him, no matter what contribution he had made, whether he was a general or a soldier, whether he was Heydrich or not, there were too many people who paid their lives for this war. From a life perspective, they are all the same and there should be no difference.

The most direct impact of this is... Schmidt and others can return to their homes again.

Schmidt still felt a little strange about this.

"Why now?" Schmidt asked: "Have the enemy's assassins given up on you?"

"You can say that!" Qin Chuan replied: "You know, they successfully assassinated Heydrich. We will conduct a comprehensive cleansing of the enemies lurking in Germany. In addition, Colonel Koch will also send additional personnel to monitor and protect the surroundings. , so we are safe!”

Schmidt nodded to express his understanding. After a while, Schmidt said: "My child, you may not be safer at home. If you can, go back to the battlefield as soon as possible!"

"I will!" Qin Chuan replied.

Qinchuan knew that Schmidt was affected by the assassination of Heydrich... If a high-ranking person like Heydrich would die under the assassination of the enemy, then how could Qinchuan, the "legendary sergeant" What kind of? !

But Schmidt probably never imagined that this matter itself had something to do with Qin Chuan.

There was one person who noticed it.

A few days later, when Qinchuan, Derwig and others were printing counterfeit banknotes, while others were busy, Derwig leaned towards Qinchuan, who was comparing and checking the counterfeit banknotes, and whispered: "Nice job!"

"What?" Qin Chuan replied with a smile: "Are you praising yourself?"

"I'm not talking about counterfeit money!" Derwig shook his head.

"Then what you are saying is..."

"Your opponent!" Derwig said as if intentionally or unintentionally: "I heard that they arranged Heydrich's funeral a few days ago!"

Qin Chuan couldn't help but be stunned, and then replied calmly: "You are thinking too much!"

"Maybe!" Derwig laughed: "I don't mean anything else, I just feel sorry for your enemies!"

After a pause, Derwig added: "Actually, it's not difficult to guess. The resistance to making counterfeit banknotes has always been him, otherwise it wouldn't be our turn. Now the only resistance is gone, isn't it?"

Derwig was right. If it weren't for Heydrich, counterfeit banknotes would have been mass-produced long ago.

But of course Qin Chuan would not admit it. He put down the magnifying glass in his hand and said to Derwig impatiently: "What exactly do you want to say?"

"I've said all I want to say!" Derwig shrugged: "In addition, I also want to say... If nothing else happens, our counterfeit banknotes have been successful!"

"Why do you say that?" Qin Chuan asked.

"You sent pounds to Swiss banks!" said Derwig.

"Yes!"

"The people at the Swiss Bank will not be so stupid!" Derwig explained: "They will be suspicious of the pounds you sent, because the UK has no trade relations with Germany or even France, and it is difficult to appear in Europe. A few bundles of 10-pound pounds!”

Qin Chuan couldn't help but said "oh" when he heard this.

The huge amount is on the one hand, and the face value is all 10 pounds on the other hand. Switzerland is almost surrounded by German-controlled areas, so they do have reason to be suspicious.

"What do you think they will do if they become suspicious?" Derwig asked.

"They will send these pounds to London for appraisal!" Qin Chuan said.

"Yes!"

"But they didn't respond at all!" Qin Chuan said.

"Because there was no reaction, I said we can be considered successful!" Derwig explained: "Because there are only two possibilities... One is that they can't tell the difference, and the other is that it is difficult for them to tell the difference! "

Qin Chuan nodded in agreement. If these counterfeit banknotes are easy to distinguish, then the British will use an open method: confidently tell Swiss banks and even the world how to distinguish counterfeit banknotes, so that it can be effective to prevent the circulation and use of counterfeit banknotes.

The problem is...these counterfeit banknotes are so real that even professionals can't tell them apart or it's very difficult to tell them apart. In this case, the British side doesn't dare to publicize them to the outside world at all.

Because the result of the propaganda is that banks and people around the world are confused... They don't know whether the pounds in their hands are real or fake. This will cause everyone to be afraid to use or refuse to use it. The result will be the complete destruction of the status of the pound and even the UK. economy.

"So!" Derwig said: "Actually, you don't need to send the pounds to London for verification, because the Swiss Bank has already done it for you. All you have to do... is to take a few more bundles of counterfeit banknotes to the Swiss Bank to exchange them and then take a look. Their reaction, if they look reluctant but still bite the bullet and accept it..."

"Does this prove that our counterfeit money is successful?"

"Uh-huh!" Derwig nodded.
