In 1935, the Nationalist Government, in order to prepare for the logistics and economy of long-term warfare, forcibly introduced legal tender and stopped the use of silver dollars, military notes, customs gold notes and other currencies, making preparations for resisting the Japanese invasion of China. In response to this, the Japanese military secretly produced a large amount of counterfeit legal tender in Harbin, disrupting the financial and trade order. The Japanese army called it the "Black Cat Project". In response to the Japanese army's sabotage, Song Ziwen, the Minister of Finance in charge of legal tender, dispatched Li Daoren, the deputy chief of staff of the Tax Police Corps directly under the Ministry of Finance, to Harbin, with the aim of destroying the master copies and manufacturing sites of counterfeit legal tender. Meanwhile, Song Xiaoyan of the Nationalist Party jointly accomplished this task. The Japanese army dispatched Tsuchihihara and Kido to defend the "Black Cat Project" and killed Li Daoren and others. Both sides took advantage of each other's weaknesses and thus engaged in a life-and-death struggle. Li Daoren used Mu Hu's insertion to help his Japanese wife understand Mu Hu's movement patterns. By tracking Mu Hu, he found the counterfeit currency printing place and eventually destroyed the motherboard, completely destroying the "Black Cat Plan".[Collapse]
