You are my best student.

You've learned so much financial knowledge from me.

Can't I be sad that you are

working for the communists now?

I think working for the Communist Party

for the Communist Party.

I regret

not returning to Jiangxi Soviet sooner.

What did they do to you

that changed you like this?

The Communist Party cares for the people,

but your party

doesn't even treat them as humans.

Let me ask you one thing.

The treasury bills incident was so serious,

but was anyone really punished?

Why do you persist in your mistaken beliefs?

The Nanjing government is selfish and cruel.

They've never cared about the people.

How dare you!

Shen Jinzhen, how dare you?

Look at you now.

Look how powerful you are now,

Special Commissioner Tu.

Wei Ruolai,

I trained you back then

to turn you into a pillar of the party-state.

I didn't expect you to turn into this.

Sir,

I really hope you can go to Jiangxi Soviet

and see the bright smiles of the people there.

Although they are poor now,

their eyes are full of hope.

They believe that tomorrow will be better.

Wei Ruolai.

Do you really think I can't bear to kill you?

What are you going to do?

No, sir.

I just feel that sacrificing myself in a mission

is worth it.

It's the direction of the counterfeit money factory.

Erniu,

send Qian Fengshi a signal.

Ask him to reinforce the counterfeit money factory.

Guys, follow me.

Let's go.

Brigade Commander, Lin sent a signal.

Should we go?

Your people?

Chinese Soviet Republic National Bank Special Company.

Impossible.

It's night and there are soldiers ambushed along the mountain path.

They can't catch up to you.

I guessed the location of the factory.

You guessed it?

Before, I thought about

where I would put

a counterfeit money factory.

First, it must be concealed.

There are many mountains in Ganzhou.

Even the biggest commotion won't be discovered in the mountains.

There are so many mountains.

How do you know which mountain it is?

Second, printing and paper-making both need water.

You need to choose the right water source.

However, these techniques pollute the water source.

The wastewater drained out along the waterway

causes the nearby residents to fall sick,

get diarrhea, kidney failure, and other conditions.

So I asked someone to check in the hospital.

I have a favor to ask you.

What is it?

Take some people to Ganzhou for me.

If there are any of the below symptoms,

please check one by one.

The villages where patients are concentrated

will be downstream of the water source.

Following the water source upstream

will narrow down the scope a lot.

Third,

the tire ruts.

The villagers either walk or ride horses.

There are no tire marks on the road.

When a car passes by,

the grass will be flattened.

Look carefully.

This narrows the scope even more.

The last point

is the most important point.

There's smoke from cooking.

Over there. See?

Let's go.

Regular farmers have small stoves.

The concentration of the smoke is low and dissipates in mid-air,

but the printing factory feeds everyone at once.

The smoke is highly concentrated.

At meal times, the smoke will float in the air.

If we combine all the points and screen a few times,

the location of the printing factory is obvious.

You're still very smart, Wei Ruolai.

Since you know where the counterfeit money factory is,

you didn't have to come in person.

Why did you risk your life?

If I didn't come, you'd grow suspicious,

increase troops quickly, and cause unnecessary casualties.

Lie down.

Hide!

Sir, this isn't right.

It should be

Qian Fengshi's men on guard at this hour.

Stop shooting!

Guys over there,

are you Brigade Commander Qian Fengshi's unit?

Which unit are you from?

We're the Ranger Formation,

Ganzhou Detachment.

I'm Lin Qiaosong.

Captain Lin,

did you not say beforehand that you'll be coming?

It's hard to see clearly in the dark.

The counterfeit money factory in the mountain

was ambushed by the communists.

We need backup.

We didn't get any notice.

The superiors ordered us to ambush on the spot.

We don't dare to move

without the superiors' order.

You'll have to

do the rescue by yourselves.

Qian Fengshi, I'll deal with you later.

Please let us through.

We'll go alone.

Let's go.

Keep up.

Pull yourselves together.

Don't let go of a single communist.

Yes.

I came here to destroy the counterfeit money factory.

I also wanted to meet the mastermind in Ganzhou.

You've seen him.

What now?

You want to take me to Jiangxi Soviet to work for the Communist Party?

Can't I, sir?

Jiangxi Soviet is the future of China.

Please trust me and visit Jiangxi Soviet with me.

I believe—

Sir, the Communist Party is too powerful.

We can't hold up any longer.

Run!

Get out! Get out!

Come out!

Hands up!

Who are you?

Sir, I'm not a bandit.

I'm one of the workers.

How many doors are there?

Two doors.

The back door is the workshop.

The front door is the resting area.

Chunmiao,

take two men to find Ruolai and Instructor Shen.

The rest of you, follow me to the printing workshop.

Okay.

Let's go.

Sorry, Wei Ruolai.

I can't go to Jiangxi Soviet with you.

Please come with me.

Let him go.

I can leave with you.

Shen Jinzhen, don't think that I won't dare to shoot.

Don't make more mistakes.

Let him go and I'll leave with you.

Sir, we're running out of time.

Go get the car, Congyun.

Tunan,

I said I'll leave with you.

Let him go.

Go.

I can leave with you if you let him go.

I'm telling you to go.

Calm down. Don't do anything stupid.

This way.

Tunan, don't make more mistakes.

Go!

Tell me, where is the workshop?

Inside and on the second floor too.

Sanqiangzi,

burn it!

Young man,

these are the best equipment.

They can still be used after being disassembled.

I heard that you only have one lithograph in Jiangxi Soviet.

Sanqiangzi,

take them apart.

Comrades, take them apart.

Let's go.

Come to Jiangxi Soviet with us.

Go!

Don't move!

Put the gun down!

Don't shoot!

Don't shoot!

Sir,

put the gun down.

Tunan,

come with us to Jiangxi Soviet.

I'm not going.

I will never betray the Kuomintang.

Instead of being executed in Jiangxi Soviet,

I'd rather kill myself now.

Tunan.

Don't shoot!

Calm down. Think about it.

Think about Yu and Sister-in-law.

Yu is still in the hospital.

If you end your life like this,

what will happen to them in the future?

Okay?

Calm down.

Sir, whether it's the counterfeit money

or the passcode,

it's just a means to control the economy in Jiangxi Soviet for you,

but you don't know

what it has brought

to the people of Jiangxi Soviet.

Prices have skyrocketed recently.

Many families have almost died

because of what you did.

We are all Chinese.

Don't you

have any empathy for your own compatriots?

Sir, come to Jiangxi Soviet with us.

I believe your opinion will change

once you're in Jiangxi Soviet.

Trust us, sir.

Tunan,

please trust us.

Come with us.

Tunan.

Take him away.

Don't move!

Don't move.

Let's go.

What about the machines?

We can't carry them away.

This is a Kuomintang-controlled area.

There are enemies down the mountain.

Burn them.

Sanqiangzi.

Sanqiangzi.

Yes.

Sanqiangzi,

Burn it, comrades!

Burn it!

Kong, there are torches down the mountain.

It should be the Kuomintang's reinforcements.

We should retreat now.

Young man, I'll go with you.

I'm good at making coins. I'll be useful to you.

Take him away.

Retreat!

Let's go.

Put out the fire!

Hurry up!

Sir!

Sir!

Sir!

How are you?

How are you?

Are you okay?

Sir,

who knows how many bombs are in there?

Let's retreat.

Sir!

Let's retreat.

Let's retreat.

Get up.

They took Mr. Shen away.

Now it seems

the Guangdong Army and Kuomintang aren't on the same side.

They are a bunch of scum,

trampling on the interests of the Kuomintang.

If it weren’t for Qian Fengshi...

Captain Lin!

We wouldn't have suffered so many losses today.

Lin Qiaosong

I got it!

I have a solution.

Sir.

Sir.

Hello.

Sir,

I'm here to visit you.

Why?

To laugh at me?

No.

I want to take you to the bank.

Don't think that you can change me.

I don't know if I can change you,

but I want you to know

what Jinzhen and I are committed to.

Slow down.

Brother.

This is for you.

Thank you.

Mom said we should thank you for teaching us how to notice counterfeit money,

so we weren't cheated.

Here.

You can keep this. I have more.

Are you also from the Red Army?

Yes.

Mom said everyone who protects us is from the Red Army.

I want to join the Red Army when I grow up.

Me too!

Sir, I know what you're thinking.

It won't be the end of the world

even if you seal off Sanjiang Kou.

We still have tungsten ore.

This is liquid capital.

Even without Sanjiang Kou,

we have other ways.

We want to buy government bonds.

Folks, don't push!

Don't push! Don't push!

There are sufficient government bonds.

Everyone can get their share.

Folks,

the Kuomintang wreaked havoc recently.

In order to protect the people,

the Red Army destroyed the Kuomintang's counterfeit money factory

and arrested the Special Commissioner.

Now that our bank is in trouble,

let's do whatever we can within our capabilities.

We were tricked by the spy

to exchange it at the bank.

Now, we understand.

We support the Red Army!

Support the Red Army! Defeat the Kuomintang!

Please line up in an orderly manner.

Come up one by one, okay?

Okay.

Don't crowd together.

Okay, thank you.

Come on, take a step back.

Let's take a step back.

Line up orderly.

I don't understand.

They're already so poor.

Why are they still buying these government bonds

that have no hope of being redeemed?

Are they crazy?

The people also supported the Kuomintang before

and bought treasury bills to support the nation's construction.

The Kuomintang at the time

was also loved by the people.

Even the higher-ups said that the people's support was useful,

but what did the Nanjing government do?

So?

Are you sure the Communist Party is right?

Of course.

You once said

the foundation of finance

is credibility

and credibility is what we have the most of.

This was also built up

bit by bit by the Red Army

and Chinese Soviet Republic National Bank through actions

over the years.

The people's wishes are more important

than money.

I only understood

the true meaning of finances in Jiangxi Soviet.

This was Donggu Civilian Bank at first.

Later, it developed into Jiangxi Workers & Farmers Bank

After that,

it merged with Bank of Western Fujian

to establish

the Chinese Soviet Republic National Bank.

I remember the content

of the report you gave me before.

You told me then

that the Communist Party was not a threat.

Someone asked me to write that.

He hoped to give Jiangxi Soviet some time to develop.

You already joined the Communist Party at that time?

No,

but I'd already given up on the Kuomintang.

We now have seven departments,

including the Operations Department

and Accounting Department.

It's small,

but it's well-equipped.

Everything is still in the grassroots stage.

Many parts are not perfect yet

and it's not as impressive as the Central Bank.

For a bank,

the most important thing is not whether it's impressive or not,

but the credibility

that you mentioned.

We have credibility.

Our main business

is to help farmers.

There are few big clients.

The clients are mainly local yeoman farmers.

Last year, we gave out loans

and provided seeds, cattle, and tools for our clients.

The autumn harvest in Jiangxi Soviet has increased

25% compared to last year.

If there's no siege this year,

the people of Jiangxi Soviet

will fully achieve post-tax self-sufficiency.

Do you know what makes me the happiest?

What?

Every day I come to work after the autumn harvest,

I can see items that the people gift us.

Sometimes, it's just a few eggs.

Sometimes, it's a basket of corn.

The villagers are not good at expressing themselves,

but they all know

who helped them have good lives.

They are all grateful.

This also makes me feel

that all our efforts

were not in vain.

Communist Party members?

When they see us,

they all have smiles in their eyes.

We are not blind.

We know who's good and who's not.

Brother.

This is for you.

Thank you.

I want to join the Red Army too!

Support the Red Army! Defeat the Kuomintang!

I asked you to come...

Chief Lei,

what is it?

The superiors have done research and decided

that Shen Tunan

will be executed.

It will be the day after tomorrow.

It's confirmed?

Deputy Chief Wei.

My last supper?

Tunan.

Jinzhen,

Yu and your sister-in-law

are at Ganzhou Hospital.

Find a way

to send them away from Ganzhou.

Help me tell your sister-in-law

that I'll repay what I owe her

in my next life.

Okay.

I promise you.

Where do you want to send them?

She wanted to go abroad.

If possible,

try your best to help her.

Don't worry.

Here.

Drink with me.

Ruolai,

when you were arrested

on accusations of colluding with communists in Shanghai,

I rescued you

despite the great pressure.

Yes, sir.

Without you,

I wouldn't have been released.

If you

remember this favor,

please

take good care of Jinzhen for me.

She's my only sister.

My parents passed away early.

I brought her up since childhood.

I spoiled her and doted on her.

That's why she has so many bad habits.

She is very willful.

In the future,

please tolerate her.

Okay, sir.

Take care of her.

Here.

Don't see me off tomorrow.

You don't have to collect my body either.

Sir—

When you think of me in the future,

I hope that the image you see

is of that mature, wise,

and responsible mentor.

You're not only my mentor,

but also an older brother.

Older brother.

I actually regret it.

I shouldn't have

given in at that time

and cared about the so-called big picture.

For the counterfeit coins and the treasury bills,

even if I'd fallen out with them,

I'd at most be dismissed from my position.

In that case,

I may have lost my career,

but my conscience

wouldn't hurt this much.

After I arrived in Ganzhou,

I often can't sleep at night.

I think of those rickshaw drivers who died in vain

and the people who went bankrupt due to the treasury bills

and wailed hopelessly on the streets.

When I think of all this,

Ruolai,

my heart...

Sir.

I thought you'd changed.

Fortunately, you didn't.

Ruolai,

I actually envy you.

For what?

As someone in the financial industry,

I also want to eat eggs and corn brought over

by the people.

I also want to be respected

and acknowledged by them,

and treated as someone

that they trust,

but I failed.

I failed.

Sir,

you just took the wrong side.

It's not your fault.

I'm fine.

Ruolai, you did many things

in Jiangxi Soviet's banks,

many concrete and good things,

especially for the people.

To be honest,

I'm glad.

I'm proud of you.

In Jiangxi Soviet,

I saw the beginnings of a modern country

and the class integration

that all the past dynasties

couldn't achieve.

The street vendors that I saw

were all at ease

and had a sense of security.

It's obvious that they hadn't been exploited or plundered before.

There was also a kid

who was dressed in rags

and ran wildly while holding a pinwheel.

When I looked at him,

his eyes were so clear

and his smile was so bright.

He was so carefree.

It's great.

At that moment, I had to admit

that the Communist Party

has taken shape.

Compared to them,

the Kuomintang

has done too little for the people.

Too little.

All these years of endless plundering and exploiting

has hollowed out the foundation of the state.

I often feel that

I'm willing to contribute to the country,

but there's nothing I can do.

Tunan,

are you willing to stay

and work with us?

I can't do it. It's impossible.

I believe in the Three Principles of the People.

Even if this ship sinks,

I'll sink with it.

I'll fight until the end.

Otherwise, I'll be ashamed of myself toward the Kuomintang.

Sir,

the corrupted Kuomintang

is not worthy for you to contribute your life to.

Don't speak further.

Don't.

Ruolai,

you're smart,

ambitious, and have aspirations.

No matter what happens in the future,

remember your original intention.

Don't be like me.

Only caring about wins or losses

will make you forget your true self.

Yuanbao,

what's wrong?

It suddenly started burning.

It suddenly started burning?

Yes.

Comrade.

Yuanbao,

after the fire is put out,

count which documents are damaged.

Okay, will do.

Don't fall behind.

Chief Lei.

Here.

What's wrong?

Shen Tunan escaped.

It's good that you're back.

I'm back.

I'm back.

Mr. Shen,

I believe

you are a true patriot.

Otherwise, you wouldn't have given up

Europe's superior conditions and return to China to work.

The Three Principles of the People

once guided countless people with aspirations

to work tirelessly

for world harmony.

But now?

The philosophy is still there,

while the Kuomintang has changed.

Countless cruel facts

are right in front of you.

You know that they're a group

obsessed with power and wealth.

Why are you still so stubborn

and aid the evil?

I hope you can think carefully

about why you returned to China back then.

I hope you can figure out

what you should do

and whom you should work with

to truly realize

your original noble dream.

That day, I could feel

that he was touched inside.

I believe he should

have some changes this time.

I hope he won't do more bad things

after he returns.

I don't think he will.

He was quite moved after coming

to Jiangxi Soviet this time.

Let's not talk about him anymore.

Let me show you something.

Tungsten wire?

I made it myself.

I've tested it. The quality is good.

I thought

that since we can’t sell tungsten ore,

we can make tungsten wire.

It’ll be much easier to sell than the ore.

How are the production costs?

Mineral processing takes time and effort.

It'll take hundreds of people to build a factory.

The production process is not complicated.

The equipment

can be taken care of easily.

This is great.

If we turn

tungsten ore into wire,

into a civilian product,

then we can export it ourselves

and even export to the world.

We can’t be too optimistic.

The production of tungsten wire is limited.

If we can’t increase the production,

it'll be useless.

That's easy.

We just need to increase our production.

But

if we have tungsten wire,

we can negotiate with the Guangdong Army.

If they don't buy it,

we can export it ourselves.

We'll have the upper hand now.

Thank you for your confidence.

I need you to help me make a report

for the fund to recruit people.

I'll establish the production line as soon as possible.

Okay, no problem.

Don't be scared.

I'm here.

I had a scary dream.

I dreamed...

Dreamed...

Dreamed...

I'm scared.

Don't be scared.

Darling, I'm here.

I'll always be

by Yu's side.

Yu,

why are you crying?

Mom, I'm scared.

Yu,

I'm Dad.

Tell him to leave.

Dad is a murderer.

I don't want to see him.

Tell him to leave.

Alright, stop crying.

I'll ask Dad to go.

Mom

will tell him to leave.

Take care of her.

Dad has left.

Don't be scared.

Don't be scared.

Sir.

I must take down Qian Fengshi within the month.

Yes.

Chief Lei,

this is the account of the Trade Bureau's procurement

of medicine and table salt.

Take a look.

How is it?

The bank is getting less and less income,

while we pay more and more silver coins

to buy scarce supplies

like salt and medicine.

At this rate,

we'll be hollowed out

without the Kuomintang making a single shot.

That's right.

Once the vault is empty,

the Soviet currency's credit will also collapse.

This will then cause inflation.

The Kuomintang...

Operation Cord Severance

really put Jiangxi Soviet's economy at a dead end.

To overcome it,

I'm afraid

we need to find a breakthrough with the tungsten ore.

I agree.

The lockdown of Sanjiang Kou

led the tungsten ore's black market to skyrocket.

The market is short of goods and we're short of money,

so I’m thinking

can we trade the tungsten ore

by using a futures contract?

Futures contract?

How?

We can use a voucher

at a lower price

to sell to the big and small tungsten ore merchants.

This way, we can have some cash.

After we break through Sanjiang Kou,

they can get the goods at an affordable price

and get some profits

using the time difference.

That's a great suggestion.

I'll report it to the president as soon as possible.

Okay.

Wait, there is a problem.

If those tungsten ore merchants

are willing to trade

with a futures contract,

how can we make them trust

that in the near future,

they'll get the tungsten ore?

In other words,

how can we increase

their faith in us?

Their faith in us?

I think it comes from two points.

First,

we must break through Sanjiang Kou

and develop a new tungsten ore trade line.

Second,

we can revitalize some of the difficult

or abandoned mines.

This way, production will increase

and there'll be no problems with redeeming the vouchers.

I totally support you.

Go do it.

Okay.

Ming Da,

the effect of the economic blockade

will soon be shown in the battles.

Tunan,

the chairman of the Standing Committee asked me to remind you

that the root is still tungsten ore.

The international price of tungsten ore has increased by 30%.

The government's supply still can't keep up.

The Westerners also put a lot of pressure on us,

so you must not slack off.

Send me the report on the mine distributions and situations

of the Communist-controlled areas as soon as possible.

Understood.

We will do our best.

Don't worry about your matter

of getting taken to Jiangxi Soviet.

The higher-ups have already investigated it.

Yes,

I thank the chairman for his trust.

The transportation line has been sealed.

What we should do next

is to restrict the tungsten ore production.

Let’s work harder.

I've already made arrangements.

The explosives have been secretly transported into the common area.

They were removed from shells

and are more powerful than traditional explosives.

You want to blow up the mines?

How can I restrict the production without bombing the mine?

The mine in Pangu Mountain is the largest in Jiangxi Soviet.

If we blow it up,

they won't be able to produce ore for months.

That way,

the communists won't even be able to feed themselves.

Good job.

Thank you for your compliment, Special Commissioner.

It's Pangu Mountain.

Oh no.

The mine exploded!

Hurry!

Rescue the people!

Hurry!

Rescue the people!

Hurry!

Rescue the people!

Recently, several mines in Jiangxi Soviet

have suffered damages of varying degrees.

The Kuomintang

is targeting our most critical points.

They just blocked off Sanjiang Kou

and bombed the mines now.

They're obviously targeting the tungsten ore.

Here.

Take it

for self-defense.

Thank you, Chief Lei.

These days,

Kong will strengthen his protection

of you and Instructor Shen.

You must be careful.

Okay.

Ming Da,

we are strictly executing

the chairman's order.

We cut off all trade dealings

of the Communist Jiangxi Soviet with the outside world.

Next,

we will continue the blockade of tungsten ore,

while also attacking something else,

which is

table salt.

The priority now is still salt.

One silver dollar can buy seven catties of salt in the Kuomintang-controlled area,

but in Jiangxi Soviet, it can only buy 0.73 catties.

The people say that salt is equal to 0.73 catties.

There are 4.35 million residents in Jiangxi Soviet.

They consume 75,000 kilograms of salt every month.

I calculated it roughly.

With the current salt reserve,

we can hold on for another month at most.

We must break through Sanjiang Kou

to open up the tungsten ore trade.

Only then can salt can enter.

But the point is

we sell tungsten ore

to merchants in Ganzhou.

Qian Fengshi

takes dry stock dividends from the merchants.

Only by getting Qian Fengshi on our side

can our salt come in

and tungsten ore go out.

Is Qian Fengshi reliable?

He's cowardly and views money as his life.

He won't be hard to deal with.

However,

it's dangerous in Ganzhou now.

It's too risky to enter now.

But if we wait until the salt is used up,

Jiangxi Soviet's crisis will be worse.

I'll go there myself.

Okay.

Bring comrade Jinzhen.

You worked together very well

in the last mission.

Okay.

Jinzhen came into the city?

Yes, Wei Ruolai too.

They must be looking for Qian Fengshi to buy salt.

Just do whatever you want.

You must get the evidence of Qian Fengshi colluding with communists,

but don't touch them

before they make the trade.

Just do it?

Yes.

What about Shen Jinzhen?

She's a communist first

and my sister second.

Then, I'm sorry.

Wait.

Let me remind you.

Jinzhen has strong anti-tracking abilities.

Be careful.

Don't let things backfire.

Special Commissioner, don't worry.

Since they are here for Qian Fengshi,

we just need to keep an eye on Qian.

Okay.
