As the earliest Japanese-funded bank to enter Shanghai, Yokohama Zhengjin Bank is also an old foreign-funded bank in Shanghai. As the Japanese army waged a war of aggression, the bank's role in the war was also important.

The mere payment of military salaries to the invading Japanese army shows the importance of this bank. Not to mention, the bank itself is also plundering the wealth of Huaxia, and most of the gold, silver and funds plundered by the Japanese army on the front line will be stored in this bank.

According to the information provided by the military commanders, the bank would even escort a batch of gold and silver back to Fuso every once in a while. These plundered funds will also be exchanged for various war materials to support the Japanese army for warfare.

The decision to ransack this bank is more aware that the vast majority of the funds stored in this bank were plundered. Robbing such a bank, Hu Biao will not have the slightest psychological burden, on the contrary, he will feel extremely happy.

Even if the Zhengjin Bank is separated by a while, it will escort a batch of gold and silver back to the mainland. But as a bank, they also need to be backed by reserves of gold and silver to issue currency. Even the reserves stored in the vault are definitely a lot in Hu Biao's opinion.

Not to mention, this bank also provides safe deposit box business, and many traitors and traitors who have taken refuge in the little devils will also store some valuables in the bank's safe. So that in case of emergency, these valuables can be exchanged for money.

Situations like this are common among many foreign banks in Shanghai. Although there are also Chinese-funded banks in Shanghai, after the fall of Shanghai, the deposit and loan business that the Chinese-funded banks that are still in office have become extremely rare.

As for the bank's reserves of gold and silver, naturally, they were all transferred to the rear in advance. In order to avoid chaos in the financial market, the little devils do not dare to go too far with these Chinese-funded banks with foreign shares. The situation that can be suppressed is certainly unavoidable.

Hu Biao, who decided to raid, also hoped to take advantage of the opportunity of the ransacking of Zhengjin Bank to cause financial turmoil in Shanghai. If the credibility of the bank is to be maintained, it is necessary to mobilize funds in the shortest possible time to cope with the possible run.

After confirming that nothing unusual was found on the first floor of the bank, and that no lurking posts were found outside the bank, Hu Biao signaled the soldiers who were climbing on the wall to start landing. As five or six fighters entered the bank, Hu Biao also began to look for a way to enter the bank.

Although he could enter at the door, Hu Biao felt that it was not safe. Under normal circumstances, the security guards stationed in the bank will lock the bank door at night to prevent people from entering the bank through the doors and windows.

Hu Biao, who knew about the situation, called Tian Tiezhu to his side and said, "Give me the rope!" Later you will be on guard, and I'll climb to the third floor first. When the rope is tied, you climb up one after another. Remember, don't move too much. ”

"Understood! Captain, be careful! ”

Taking the rope handed by Tian Tiezhu, Hu Biao followed the chosen climbing route and began to climb to the balcony on the third floor of the bank. Everyone staying downstairs was very nervous at the moment, watching Hu Biao move and climb on the wall like a gecko.

With the help of the bank's windows and steps, Hu Biao, who had made a little effort to reach the balcony on the third floor safely, eased his breath a little. I listened carefully to the movement in the building. After confirming that there was no problem, he threw the rope down.

Seeing the rope hanging down, several specially selected commandos quickly walked up the rope. If it is daytime, the movement of the team members climbing will definitely not avoid the surrounding pedestrians. It can be climbed at night, and the commandos can naturally rest assured and bold.

The only thing to pay attention to may be that you can't alarm the little devils on duty in the building. When the commandos arrived at the balcony on the third floor, Hu Biao had already opened the door and entered the dark corridor.

"Stick to the wall and take it easy! The guard on duty is on the second floor, and he controls the passage and staircase first! ”

After a whispered explanation, Hu Biao and his entourage walked cautiously in the dark corridor. After adapting to it for a while, with the help of the open door, the team members can still see the situation in the corridor. Most of the rooms in the hallway are closed.

Leaving three team members on the third floor to control the corridor and staircase, Hu Biao took Tian Tiezhu and another team member to the second floor and began to search the second floor by sticking to the stairs. It was already early in the morning, and except for the guards on duty, the rest of the guards were asleep.

In the bank with electric lights, the lights in the duty room provide the best lighting and instructions. Arriving at the staircase on the second floor, Hu Biao gestured to stop the two team members who were following him, and leaned against the wall and listened carefully for a while.

After confirming that there was no one in the corridor, he carefully checked with the probe. Finding that the lights in the duty room were still on and the door seemed to be open, Hu Biao lowered his body and pulled out the three-edged bayonet inserted in his leg, and approached the duty room with Tian Tiezhu.

Another member of the team stood on the other side of the stairs, alerting the movement on the other side of the duty room. Once the door is opened, all the team has to do is kill the person who comes out of the room. No matter who the other party is, there will be no mercy!

When he came to the door of the duty room, Hu Biao could also hear Tian Tiezhu who was following him, his breath seemed to be a little short, and then he gestured and said, "Calm down!" Take a deep breath and don't be nervous! Look at my gestures! ”

Half-squatting at the door of the duty room, Hu Biao paused for a moment to listen carefully to the movements in the room. I found that I didn't hear the officer on duty talking, and I could only hear a very even breathing sound. Judging by the sound of breathing, there should have been two guards on duty inside.

He continued to gesture towards Tian Tiezhu beside him: "There are two people inside, they should be asleep!" Get ready to get your hands dirty! ”

After Tian Tiezhu nodded, Hu Biao finally looked inside. Seeing the two guards, who were sleeping on the table in cotton coats, Hu Biao quickly rushed in after a long sigh of relief.

Just as the two guards noticed that someone next to them had opened their eyes, a sharp saber had already plunged into their necks. The two guards were tightly controlled, and it was not until the two guards finally stopped struggling that Hu Biao and Tian Tiezhu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Captain, my heart is about to jump out!"

"It doesn't matter! You're doing a great job! This kind of thing will get used to after two more experiences. ”

After praising Tian Tiezhu with a smile, Hu Biao quickly walked out of the room and began to walk to the first floor. Open the back door, and all the team members who are on guard outside will be accepted into the bank, and then let them stand guard on each floor.

As for Hu Biao himself, he only took Tian Tiezhu to the bank's underground vault. Taking out the key to the vault he had obtained earlier, Hu Biao quickly opened the iron door to enter the vault and saw the large vault door behind the iron door.

Compared with the electronic ciphers of later generations, the vault doors of this era were more mechanical. If you don't know the rotation rate, it will be difficult to open the door of the vault smoothly. And the password that Hu Biao got before was actually the rotation rate.

"Pillar, you are on guard outside, don't disturb me!"

"Yes, Captain!"

Hu Biao, who took a deep breath, grasped the circular turntable of the vault door tightly and began to rotate carefully. According to Ikeda's rules, Hu Biao quickly rotated more than half a turn to the left, stopping precisely at a scale.

There was a "click" sound, and Hu Biao, who focused all his attention on the door of the vault, was secretly happy in his heart. Continuing to place the door counterclockwise, the click inside the door is heard again when it is rotated to the second scale.

If there is a slight mistake, the mechanical lock will not fall, and it is impossible to open the vault smoothly. If you want to blow open the door of such a sturdy vault, it will be difficult to do it in a short time. This is also the reason why Hu Biao kidnapped the manager.

After rotating half a turn counterclockwise, Hu Biao rotated more than half a turn clockwise, stopping accurately on another scale. When the third click sounded, Hu Biao pulled the iron door back with both hands, and the vault door was quickly opened.

Looking at the open door of the vault, Hu Biao said happily: "Cool! It seems that the old devil is not lying, I hope the contents will not disappoint me too much! Pillars, stay outside on guard! ”

"Yes!"

Although I really want to go into the vault to see how much gold, silver and jewelry there is. Ketian Tiezhu also knew that since Hu Biao didn't let him pass, he just had to obey the order. In fact, he was also curious about how Hu Biao transported the contents of the vault.

When Hu Biao entered the vault and saw the neatly stacked gold and a large amount of silver, as well as a large number of banknotes stored in the vault, Hu Biao, who had seen the world, couldn't help but blurt out: "Lao Tzu sent it!" ”

Judging from the gold piled up in the vault, Hu Biao felt that there were at least a dozen tons of gold, and with the silver, its value was incalculable. Even if there are banknotes stored in the bank, many of them are foreign currencies, and the amount is also quite large.

"Close! Hurry up! With this money, you shouldn't have to worry about running out of money to spend in the future! ”

Hu Biao, who knew that time was pressing, although he was very excited in his heart, still calmly began to collect the gold on the shelf. After collecting the gold, Hu Biao began to collect silver and the ocean, and finally collected those banknotes.

A few large bags prepared earlier, Hu Biao used to collect banknotes issued by the Japanese army. Although these banknotes are not easy to use, they can still be exchanged with other banks. This kind of foreign currency exchange business is also the main business of foreign banks.

In general, the money that is worth storing in the vault for the little devil can be circulated and used normally. After filling a few bags, Hu Biao did not let go of those personal safes. He didn't have time to check, so he could only pull it open first and then directly retract it into the space.

Even if some things are sealed in a document bag, Hu Biao has to wait until he is in a safe place before considering checking the contents of these personal safes. And many of the ornaments looted are worth a lot of money in Hu Biao's opinion.

When the war is over, these valuable ornaments will be auctioned at random, and they can be exchanged for a lot of money. If this money is swallowed privately, Hu Biao feels that he will not be able to spend so much money in his life.

Fortunately, Hu Biao understood that the original intention of robbing Zhengjin Bank was more to raise the funds needed by the troops in the future. Being in the rear, to feed so many subordinates, it is really difficult to move an inch without money. If you have money, you can do a lot of things.

In such war years, it is not a bad thing to have a little more money on hand. As long as he has enough money in hand, Hu Biao can also purchase more combat materials, expand more descendant troops, and make the little devil pay a heavier price!
