A day later, the cruiser Volga hurriedly appeared in the area.

Captain Nikolai, with an anxious look on his face, held his binoculars and looked around, but there was still the Eugene freighter.

"Is it possible that the Eugene radio was too bad and ran ahead of us, Captain?" The first mate worriedly said another possibility.

Captain Nikolai said. "It's also possible. Tell the dispatcher to continue calling the Eugene, and send telegrams to the Rage and Komsomol to keep them looking for the Eugene. ”

The day when Eugene did not receive a telegram made the Volga worry to the upper and lower levels. However, the Eugene was nowhere to be seen on the sea, which made Captain Nikolai, who was in charge, feel that the situation was not good.

Of course, they could not find the sinking Eugene, and now the Boyahi, carrying more than 500 tons of gold, had joined the task force and under its protection crossed the Strait of Gibraltar and entered the Mediterranean.

On board the Boyahi, a brief celebration was taking place. Holmemmann was holding a glass and making a brief speech about the success of the operation.

"Well done, boys. You are the heroes of Romania and the country is proud of you, so enjoy it. ”

Holmenmann's speech in Hol made the members of the action cheer. There is nothing more pleasant than a compliment from the head of one's own department.

Holmemman looked at the excited players below and beckoned Filkeev, the captain, to his side. "Filkoff, this operation did not disappoint me, you did a very good job, I applaud you."

In the face of the compliment of his boss, Filkov said in return. "Thank you Director for the compliment, this is what we should do. This can only be done with the cooperation of other colleagues in the department and the Navy. ”

Holmemmann was pleased with Filkoff's answer. I saw him continue. "Next, I need you to lead the young man to continue to work hard and escort this batch of gold back to China with the ship."

Hearing his boss's arrangement, Filkoff put down his glass and agreed. "Director, please rest assured, we will definitely protect the gold and send it back to China."

Holmemman continued after Filkov had finished. "In this escort mission, in addition to you, there is also the help of the navy."

At this time, Rear Admiral Midrafael, the commander of the task force who had not spoken all this time, interjected. "Rest assured, I will escort you home on the grounds that the heavy cruiser Brebusta is out of order and needs to be repaired."

In response to Major General Midrafael's speech, Holmemmann said. "Thank you for the Navy's support."

"It's all for Romania."

……

Of course, the news of the success of the operation needs to be known to Eder, and if nothing else, the credit of the intelligence services in this operation alone will not let Edel know too late. In fact, early in the morning after the successful operation, Eder learned the news.

"It's really good."

When Eder got the news of his success, the whole person was happy, much happier than he had been to seize Kazan gold before.

The reason is simple, the Kazan gold was stored in Eder's memory, and it was prepared for six or seven years in order to seize it. And this time, it took less than a month from knowing the news to the success of the operation.

One is that there is a long waiting period, and that surprise has consumed a lot of expectations in this long wait. And this time it belongs to the one who knows it, of course, it is full of anticipation, and the joy after success is also incomparable to the former.

Now that this batch of gold has been seized, the issue of how to spend it cannot be avoided. The first is that the military and intelligence services need to be separated, because this operation is entirely dependent on the cooperation of the military and intelligence services.

Among them, the intelligence department spent more than $5 million on intelligence alone, not counting manpower and material resources for this operation. Because of the tight time and urgency of the task, although there is information that should be provided, the content of his knowledge is limited, and it is impossible to fully understand the trend of this time, and basically everything is Qian Kaidao.

As for the military, the cost is even greater. The more than 20 submarines scattered in the Atlantic alone would require a lot of money, in addition to the cooperation of other warships. In addition, although the army and air force can provide less help, they also need to share in the profits.

Although Eder could decide what the gold would be used for, the military's attitude had to be taken into account as the atmosphere of World War II intensified. Although the military is currently a staunch supporter of the royal family, any support needs to be long-lasting. Even Eder, as the best king of Romania, needed to take into account the feelings of the military.

In addition to these two, this batch of gold Edel intends to take out a part of it to stabilize the economy. Romania's current economy, while still looking good, has already shown its hidden dangers.

The massive issuance of currency and the impact of military expansion have made life difficult for ordinary people. After all, the tilt of resources towards the military will inevitably affect the lives of the people. And Eder intends to take part in stabilizing the lives of the people. Because Romania's economy is not enough, and the people's resistance to economic depression is not enough, it is best to stabilize it.

As for the remaining gold, Eder intended to purchase various supplies that were urgently needed in Romania before the war, such as rubber, tin ore, tungsten ore, tung oil, and other products. After all, in the ensuing war, Romania had a lot of demand for these materials, and the country did not produce them. If you don't stock up in advance, will you adopt other alternatives like Germany? While these alternatives can be used, they can only be substitutes in the end.

While the Romanians were jubilant about the seizure of the gold, news of the disappearance of the Eugene reached Moscow.

In the Kremlin today, everyone is terrified, because Comrade Stalin, who is at the helm of the big ship of the Soviet Union, is in a bad mood.

Ever since Minister Yezhov entered the Iron Leader's office, the Leader's roar could still be heard in the soundproofed room. There were not many things that could make Comrade Stalin lose his temper on the spot, so no one wanted to touch his head.

"Smack." Stalin's famous corncob pipe flew a long distance and smashed into Yezhov's forehead with precision. The head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs who was hit also had a frightened expression.

In the face of the angry Stalin, even Yezhov, who was famous in the Soviet Union, did not dare to look at him.

He was reluctant to meet Stalin this time, but he did not dare to hide such a big news about the disappearance of gold, so he could only report it to Stalin.

When Stalin calmed down a little, he looked at Yezhov, who did not dare to come out in front of him, and anger welled up in his heart.

"Check it out for me immediately, I want to know what kind of national forces dare to touch the Soviet Union."

Yezhov, who had been instructed, quickly fled and left the place. But he didn't notice that after he turned around, there was a hint of cruelty in Stalin's eyes.
