The Lend-Lease Act refers to an act provided by the United States for free or paid to France, Britain, the Republic of China and later the Soviet Union and other allied countries, as well as weapons and equipment provided between 1941 and 1945. It was signed into law on March 11, 1941 and ended in September 1945. Most of the time, aid was free, and some supplies such as ships were returned after the war. In return, the United States obtained the right to lease the army and naval bases on Allied territories during the war.

According to statistics, during the implementation of the bill, a total of US$50.1 billion of materials were shipped to the Allies. Among them, US$31.4 billion of materials were shipped to the United Kingdom, US$11.3 billion of materials were shipped to the Soviet Union, US$3.2 billion of materials were shipped to France, US$1.6 billion of materials were shipped to China, and the remaining US$2.6 billion of materials were shipped to other Allies.

The lease bill would help Britain and the Allies win battles in the coming years; the help given in the 1941 War was insignificant. But between 1943 and 1944, about a quarter of British ammunition was rented through lease. The leased aircraft (especially transport aircraft) accounted for about a quarter of the British use, followed by food, ground transport tools and steamers. Between 1943 and 1944, the United States' power in Europe and the Pacific began to grow in an all-round way, and lease continued. At this time, most of the Allied fronts were basically self-sufficient (such as tanks and fighter jets), but leases could provide some useful supplements at this time and provide logistics supplies (including automobiles and railway equipment), which provided great help to assist the Allied to achieve the final victory of World War II.

However, as the main force in the Japanese Empire against the Axis of Fascist Asia, the Republic of China only received US$1.6 billion of military supplies totaling US$50.1 billion.

In other words, as long as the "Baoning Railway" is packaged into the Third Reich version of the Lease Act and provide the Republic of China government with "adequate loans" equivalent to the US $1.6 billion provided by the US version of the Lease Act, the plot difficulties will be solved.

"Oh my God, $1.6 billion. The official exchange rate for the Imperial Mark to USD is 2.5:1, which is a total of 4 billion Empire Mark!" The female inventor Heidi Rama was shocked by the astronomical figures in front of him: "Where do we get so much money!"

"Referring to the development level of this era, investing $3 million is an epic production. Even if the 'million' funds can be raised, how can they safely arrive in China?" Anna Moffett, the second casting assistant who is very sensitive to numbers, also felt very difficult.

"I have a way out." After thinking for a long time, Mrs. Katy, the casting assistant director, decided to confess everything.

The leader of the "SA3 Sisters Group" and the chief casting assistant field girl Danielle immediately sent encouragement: "Tell me, Katie."

"Have you ever heard of the Bank of England?" When saying "Bank of England", Mrs. Katy, the casting assistant director, deliberately gestured in "quotation marks" with both hands. Obviously, this is not a bank located in Great Britain or related to the British government.

"You mean, which one is in the Saxony Hausen concentration camp?" Mrs. Elizabeth Talman, a businesswoman, thought immediately.

"Yes, it's the 'Bank of England' in the Saxony Hausen concentration camp where the Nazis were set up in the premiere of "National Honor: The Battle of the Great."

"In the 1943 Berlin, Germany, the 400 hectares of triangular Saxonyhausen concentration camp was founded. The SS commander received a letter from Adolf Eichmann, the chief responsible person in charge of the "final plan" of the Jewish Holocaust, demanding the return of the Jews taken from Auschwitz.

After reading the letter, the commander immediately replied to Adolf Eichmann, saying that he could not meet his requirements, but did not disclose the specific reason, but said that these people were serving the empire.

If Adolf Eichmann had any questions, he could directly ask his boss Heinrich Himmler. Then the commander walked to District 19. What was obviously different from other districts was that it seemed to be quieter here, and the guards saluted him.

Although he received an order from his boss to protect District 19, he had no idea what was happening in District 19.

In the 19th district, 134 Jews were held in Saxonyhausen concentration camps, and their mission was to carry out a confidential operation, ‘Operation Bernhard’. The purpose of this operation was to disrupt the British economy by forging large amounts of pounds and allowing them to flow into the British market.

This action began as early as 1939, with the Central Security Director Reinhard Heidrich supporting Alfred Nauyox for counterfeiting the pound. The pound is the most stable currency in Europe. If a large amount of counterfeit money flows into British society, it will have a serious impact on the British economy.

However, the reason why the British pound is stable is not only because of the stability of the economy and society in the UK, but also because the British pound was one of the most exquisite and mysterious designs in Europe at that time, and it was extremely difficult to forge it.

However, the difficulty of forging depends on the resources and capabilities that the forgery team can mobilize. When the forgery team is the entire country and the highest person in charge of the team is Hitler, the then head of state, the resources they can mobilize are amazing. The best carving engineers in Germany, paper experts and mathematicians responsible for calculating the pound numbers are all gathered together.

Gluck SS members are responsible for forging £5 counterfeit bills. Although they can distinguish the authenticity under a microscope, only experienced bank tellers can identify them based on their naked eyes and feel.

After successfully exchanging francs, the Nazis began to order the Jews in the concentration camp to print pounds and US dollars in a crazy way. The fake banknotes carried the blood and tears of Jews, and the room where they stored was ironically named "Bank of England".

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! In order to resist, Jewish printers will mark fake banknotes so that insiders can see that they are fake banknotes at a glance, and resist the fate of being forced to become counterfeit criminals.

The original intention of the Bernhard operation was to destroy the British economic environment and make the pound lose its credibility by injecting water. It seems that the action has been a success to some extent.

By 1945, one-third of the pounds circulating on the market came from the German "Bank of England". By 1959, the real Bank of England had received about 3 million fake pounds, which were marked with obvious Jewish marks, and it was speculated that Germany had forged nearly 600 million pounds of fake pounds.

Although this purpose seems to have been achieved today, at that time, the British government took great blockade measures to prevent the counterfeit banknote incident from causing panic. Therefore, although a large number of counterfeit banknotes did seriously disrupt the British economy at that time, in British society, ordinary people did not feel panic due to the government's actions.

As the war spread, the value of hard currency on the British islands increased, and the participation of the United States and the Soviet Union also weakened the practical significance of the British economy. Therefore, Germany decided to use these counterfeit and counterfeit banknotes as activity funds to purchase materials around the world to support its own war.

This is a wonder: forging the British banknotes and using these counterfeit banknotes to buy materials that actually originated from Britain to support wars against Britain. In neutral countries such as Chile, Portugal, and Argentina, staff at the German embassy used these counterfeit pounds to exchange them for local currency and purchased necessities and supplies; in the underground black market, the Germans used these counterfeit banknotes to buy gold, medicines and food; in the Balkans, they used these counterfeit banknotes to trade weapons with guerrillas; in the UK, France, Turkey and other places, they used these counterfeit banknotes to pay for the funds and remuneration of espionage activities.

Because the realism of these counterfeit coins is too amazing, the Germans spent no scruples at all. They even used the "Unternehmen Eiche" to rescue Mussolini in 1943. In the operation full of bizarre and tortuous, known as the "devil's masterpiece", the rescue team's activities were all counterfeit banknotes from the "Bank of England" in Berlin, Germany.

In December 1944, the Nazi regime, which had been exposed, transferred the printing equipment in the Saxony Hausen concentration camp, and the operation Bernhard officially ended. At that time, although the British believed that the counterfeit banknotes flowing into the market were from the German Nazis, they lacked conclusive evidence. The spies sent before were unable to obtain any information about the incident. It was not until the rescued Jewish printing workers revealed the detailed process and scale of the German counterfeiting of pounds that the truth was revealed.

In 1946, after the war, Britain launched a new version of the pound banknotes, replacing the old version. They strengthened the anti-counterfeiting design, and each banknote was embedded with special metal strips. The old banknotes containing a large amount of counterfeit banknotes were recycled by the banks and became a "perfect copy" of some people's blood-stained. The Nazi Germany, which forced innocent victims to become criminals, was washed away by the torrent of history without a trace." - Reprinted from "Can the country print currencies of other countries when it is out of money? In 1943, Germany secretly printed pounds when it is out of money."
