Chapter 523: The 'Fish' Project

Churchill left the Chancellery almost with a grim face, he knew that from the perspective of the French, it was no problem for them to choose this way, after all, the French have always been arrogant, and their plan was to transfer all the French troops to Britain and leave the French territory to be ravaged by the Germans, which must be even more unacceptable.

Since the French did not intend to save these troops, they had to rely on themselves, Churchill left the Chancellery with a black face, and immediately after leaving the Chancellery, he took a plane and returned to London, he endured the torture of physical disability, and entered into the frenzied work to save the troops that remained on the European continent!

Churchill left, and a meeting that decided the fate of France was over.

Coming out of the room, the Minister of Finance, Lucien Lamollet, was worried. He got into his carriage and soon found himself in a secret manor house on the outskirts of Paris.

Here he met his friend again, the president of the Banque de France, Pi-Fourier, and at this point, neither of them had the heart to say hello and get straight to the point.

"How's our gold ready?" Lucien asked.

"At your command, we have now transferred all our gold quickly and secretly to the coastal ports of Toulon, Brest and Le Vert East. Now, just wait for the order. ”

Fourneer swallowed and said, "All of them, a total of 2,226 tons, of which the gold in the port of Brest is the largest, with 1,465 tons of gold. ”

Now, the vaults of the other banks in France are empty, including the Banque de France in Paris, and all the gold is secretly transferred to these three ports, ready to be shipped away at any time!

This gold can be said to be the wealth that France has accumulated over the years! Reserves have been in place since before the colonial period, and until now, these valuable treasures have been available.

Even the pirate period.

From these three ports, the gold would be secretly sent to the colonies of Canada, the United States, and France, to be sent back later, when the country was restored.

It is understandable to transport away the gold of one's own country when the country is about to collapse, and any political party, any country, will choose to do so, is it left to the Germans?

In fact, not only the French, but also the British, at the most critical time, planned to ship their gold to the United States.

Although at the meeting, Wei Gang swore to hold the line of defense, but if you think about it with your brain, you can know that the end of France is at hand, and they will not be able to stop the invasion of the terrible German army!

Lucien gritted his teeth and said, "Now, we can't delay any longer, and from tonight, we will officially start the second step of the 'fish' plan!" The Navy, for its part, has already been contacted. ”

This is more than 2,000 tons of gold, which can not be transported so easily, in history, it took about a month for France to transport this batch of gold, and it took more than a dozen warships to transport all this batch of gold.

Now, it's May 18th, judging from the battle situation, don't have any illusions, and immediately start the second step of the 'fish' plan.

The first step is to evacuate all the gold from all over the world to these three ports, and the second step is to transport the gold through warships!

Start the second step of your plan now!

Brest, a suburb, a secret estate.

From the outside, this is an old manor, outside the manor, are a large area of grape fields, at this time, bunches of grapes, are hanging on the vines, it has reached the harvest season, a lot of grapes, are purple red, people mouth-watering.

"Rumble, rumble." At this moment, the roar of the engine broke the silence of the night sky, and trucks were driving on the country road, and in front of these trucks, the Ford logo was quite conspicuous.

It's a lot of fun.

At the beginning, Ford Motor set up a factory in Germany and produced Ford's ten-ton trucks, which were used for both military and civilian purposes.

As soon as it was put on the market, it was immediately well received and quickly occupied the market, not only in the United States and Germany, but also successfully sold to other countries in Europe.

Renault was hurt, originally, in France, Renault was the flagship product, but when the Ford truck came out, Renault immediately became scum.

The biggest problem is the engine, the diesel 230 horsepower engine, which is quite powerful and fuel-efficient! You know, in this day and age, diesel is much cheaper than gasoline.

It's a pity that Germany's local factories are not exported, and now, in German factories, the cars produced are provided to Germany itself, you know, Germany now has sufficient funds, and as much as it produces, it will sell as much as it wants.

Therefore, the batch of cars imported from France was transported across the ocean from the Ford factory in the United States, although it cost a lot of money, but it was still worth it.

It is necessary not only to have money, but also to have connections to be able to order such a car.

Renault Automobile Factory has learned from the pain, and is also developing diesel engines, but unfortunately, there are no results yet, at this time the Renault factory, has long regretted it, to know that research and development is a waste of time, simply copy this car directly.

It's just that the exported cars are all rear-wheel drive, not all-wheel drive, even so, the high-horsepower diesel engine, that characteristic roar, makes many people very proud.

This is the best truck in France!

Of course, at this time, the people sitting in the car are not so excited.

They wore navy uniforms, and the cars were painted in navy blue, and this convoy was sent by the navy.

It's very common, after all, this is the port, the cars of the Navy, everywhere.

When the convoy approached the manor, it heard the sound of pulling the bolt of the gun in front, and in the grape field in front, suddenly more than a dozen soldiers burst out, and behind them, under the cover of grape leaves, there were even a few small-caliber guns!

"Password, run, the old world is behind you!" In one of the cars at the front, a naval officer stuck his head out and shouted outside, in order to avoid suspicion, he only hung up the rank of second lieutenant, in fact, he was a major general!

Major General Peake looked at the other side and handed him a note with the seal of the Banque de France and the Ministry of Finance.

The other party carefully checked it before withdrawing.

The car continued to move until it reached the manor, where the cashier of the Banque de France, Favre Jolly, was anxiously awaiting their arrival.

"Why is it so slow?" He couldn't help but ask.
