Chapter 449: Something Happened Again
Under the nervous gaze of these cabinet officials, he vomited a few mouthfuls of blood, and although the president's face was gloomy, he was not in danger of fainting, he nodded heavily, and said: "The vault of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, four hundred and ten tons of gold belonging to us have been looted. ”
"Oh my God! How is this possible?" Thinking that the cabinet member exclaimed in shock, several big question marks suddenly appeared on his mind, and he immediately asked: "The location of the vault is Wall Street, are all the policemen patrolling blind? Isn't the security measures in the vault that say that not a single ant can climb out of the vault all decoration......s? Wait a minute. ”
Halfway through his words, his slightly stunned head came back to his senses a little, he looked at the president in astonishment, swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and said dryly: "Mr. President, you... You just said ...... Of the more than 8,000 tons of gold in the Federal Reserve Bank's vaults, only 410 tons of gold belonging to us have been lost. In other words......"
"You guessed it right. The president nodded with an ugly face and replied, "Only the gold of our country has been lost, and the rest of the gold stored in the vault, this robber has not taken a penny." ”
The speculation in the heart of "this ......" was positively responded and affirmed by the president, and everyone couldn't help but open their mouths wide and their eyes widened, you look at me, I look at you, dumbfounded.
"And there are two very sad pieces of news that I need to inform you. Glancing at the cabinet officials who were already dumbfounded, the president couldn't help but raise his hand and rub his temples, waved his hand at the female secretary, and said, "You can explain." ”
"Yes, Mr. President. Hearing the president's instructions, the female secretary, who almost shared the honor and disgrace with the president, of course understood the predicament that the president was facing now, so she nodded her head in agreement, took a small step forward, and said, "Gentlemen, ladies. In addition to the 410 tons of gold stolen from the Federal Reserve Bank vault, the Fort Knox vault in Kentucky has also been looted by robbers......
"Wait!" Before Emma's words could be finished, one of the cabinet members had already changed his face, stood up from his seat, looked at Emma in disbelief, and hesitated: "What do you mean by looting?"
The atmosphere in the conference room became more solemn, and under the gaze of everyone, she took a light breath and looked at each other. "Dear sir, when I say looting, I mean that the robbers have completely emptied the vault of Fort Knox......"
"This can't be!" A man in his fifties jumped up and roared with a gloomy face: "There are 4,570 tons of gold in the vault of Fort Knox, and besides, there are still our most elite army soldiers stationed in Fort Knox, and none of the robbers can break through the fire blockade and enter the vault, even if they enter the vault, 4,570 tons of gold." How can they loot it?"
The man's questioning almost spoke to the hearts of everyone present, and in the face of the inquiring gazes of these cabinet officials, she lowered her head: "I don't know how the robbers can get into the vault. And how did the gold be stolen, but the fact is that the vault of Fort Knox is now empty, and not only all the gold has been stolen. There are also a large number of precious jishu materials that have been stolen by thieves, and ......"
She glanced up at the gloomy but silent president, and sighed in her heart. He continued: "In addition to the theft of the Fort Knox vault, the newly developed Type A individual laser cannon was also stolen by thieves, including everything in the research base. ”
"Everything?" everyone was stunned.
"Yes, everything. Emma nodded affirmatively: "Including a broom for sweeping, a mop for mopping, a paper basket, a water dispenser, purified water, and a bucket...... The entire underground research base had been emptied, the thieves had left us nothing, and no useful clues could be found on site. ”
"Four hundred and ten tons of gold were stolen from the vault of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, 4,570 tons of gold were stolen from the vault of Fort Knox, as well as the A-type individual laser cannon that has been successfully developed and a large amount of jishu materials...... "The Minister of Finance calculated a little in her heart, and a sad feeling rose from the bottom of her heart, and she lost her voice: "A new weapon worth 100 billion US dollars, a trillion US dollars worth of gold, and a jishu material worth hundreds of billions of US dollars, oh my God...... That demon!"
"Bang!" the Minister of Finance had almost already seen the scene of the nationwide riot after the news was leaked, and she also dimly saw the scene of her current cabinet officials being torn to pieces by the angry people, plus the fear of that demon! She could no longer suppress the fear and panic in her heart, and the old problem happened at this time...... It was dark in front of him, and he fainted on the ground.
The finance minister's coma made the tension in the conference room even stronger, and the secretary quickly stepped forward and grabbed the finance minister's acupoint, and after more than a minute, the finance minister opened his eyes in confusion and shouted: "Lord, what should we do now!"
"Now the first thing we need to do is to immediately block all the news of the theft of the vault, and we must not let this news leak out!"
I saw him get up and take a step forward, and said in a deep voice: "Secondly, I think, we need to find a sum of money as soon as possible." ”
"Money?" everyone was stunned.
"That's right, it's money" The president took a deep breath and said slowly: "If we can't find the stolen gold, we can only find a way to continue to buy gold from other sources, the news can't be blocked forever, we can only be completely prepared!"
"But the question is, where does the money come from?" the secretary of state threw out one of the biggest questions, yes, the government's finances have fallen into a state of crisis, and all the ways to make money have been thought of, where will the money come from?
Hearing the other party's confusion, the president was inevitably stunned, yes, where does the money come from?
Just when everyone was stunned, there was a man with a thoughtful look on his face, and after a few minutes, he slowly spit out four words: "Drugs, arms!"
Since the Second World War, the United States has been by far the largest arms dealer and drug dealer on Shijie!
However, since Wang Ming last destroyed the American base in the Golden Triangle region, the United States has much less control over there, but the United States is fully capable of regaining control of it and letting the American Navy act as a transporter, as long as there are no accidents in this process, the American government will soon be able to raise a large amount of funds to deal with the current financial crisis, and even buy back the stolen gold through other means to fill the gap.
In addition to drugs, arms is undoubtedly one of the most lucrative industries on Shijie, and the United States is the largest arms dealer on Shijie, they have a well-established transportation network and sales terminals, as long as they increase the output of arms, it is completely feasible to raise large sums of money.
These two solutions, although old-fashioned, are also the best way to solve the current problem.
Moreover, the United States has not done this kind of thing, and the base in the Golden Triangle that was established in the first place is the best case
Thinking about it, everyone was inevitably a little moved, and even the president showed a look of interest.
As if seeing everyone's reaction, the man who opened his mouth to propose struck while the iron was hot and said: "Moreover, although our shili in the Golden Triangle has been shattered, the leaders of the strongest liliang are still our people, and we only need to integrate these liliang and provide certain support, and it is just around the corner to restore our position in the Golden Triangle region." The Director of National Intelligence has those guys in control, and I think that's a good solution. ”
Everyone likes to get something for nothing, and they also like a book of profits.
The man's zuihou words completely dispelled everyone's concerns, and the president immediately clapped his head and said, "That's it"
It's just that as soon as the president's words were spoken, the female secretary who had just left appeared at the door of the conference room again, and this time, she brought a very bad news to the president, she shouted: "Mr. President, it's not good, something happened again!"
"What's wrong?!" the president was annoyed, and his tone was very unkind.
The female secretary outside the door looked very flustered, and her voice trembled a little: Mr. Tong, Mr. Oreo, he...he's also kidnapped!"
If it is said that the kidnapping of the director of the CIA a few days ago was just a shock wave, then the kidnapping of Oreo is tantamount to a thunderbolt from the sky, and the president and others were stunned with a bang!
Who is Oreo? He's the one who was just mentioned by that cabinet member! That's the director of national intelligence in the United States! If the director is in charge of global information, he is the intelligence emperor, but he has to report to Oreo! And he is not Oreo's only subordinate, there are fifteen intelligence agencies in the United States under Oreo's jurisdiction!
If the bureau is compared to the big brother of the spy chief, then Oreo is the well-deserved emperor among the heads of all shijie intelligence agencies! Because he is responsible for reporting intelligence to the president, he's usually in the White House!
Oreo was kidnapped too?Did the demon come to the White House?What did he do to Oreo? Did he shudder at the four of them now, and scanned the empty conference room suspiciously, while the president of the United States forcibly calmed his emotions and asked the female secretary in a relatively calm tone, "What did the kidnappers do to Oreo?" What they didn't know was that Wang Ming had already come once before, but he was shocked by the divine court before he showed up.
"The place where Mr. Oreo happened is in his office!" replied the female secretary quickly! )
