"Captain, 120 seconds of fuse should be enough!"

The commandos who were measuring the fuse turned to Karen and asked Karen as they had piled up boxes of high-explosive ZHA pills outside the steel vault gate, and no one was worried about the loud noise that would alarm anyone, because they were all "ultra-violent robbers" from Germany.

"Hmmm! Just 120 seconds! Now all of them get out of this house and light the fire! Cullen nodded in satisfaction, and before leaving, he knocked on the steel door with his fist, "What a good gate, what a pity!" ”

Soon, with a rush of footsteps from near to far, the fuse burst into flames.

After a loud bang, everyone's mood became anticipatory and apprehensive, how much gold was hidden there, this is what many people want to know very much, and the answer lies in the underground vault where the smoke has not yet dissipated.

Norfolk Military Port on the East Coast of the United States.

"Oh God! Are these people going to sail this fleet back to England? Looking at the warships that were on fire and anchoring in the harbor, an old sailor said with emotion that he had served on one of the battleships not long ago, but when these battleships were sold to the British, he and a large number of other sailors were temporarily "unemployed" before the new battleships were launched.

A lieutenant next to him seemed to know more about the situation, "I heard that the Germans were about to attack, and the British were forced to do so!" ”

"But now the sailors on these ships are basically half the standard, and many of them are novices. If you run into the German fleet on the way home, I doubt that a few cannons will be able to fire! "For the veteran sailors who have been on the ship for many years, these ships are like their family. Although their ownership had been transferred to the British Navy, they still did not want to see the American-made warships ruined.

"Don't worry too much about this, the Germans are now massing their main fleets on the coasts of France and Belgium, and there are no Allied naval forces left in the Atlantic other than German submarines!" The lieutenant was more optimistic about the fate of the fleet, and in fact Germany still retained the raiding fleet under the command of Hippers in the Atlantic. Although the number of warships of the German raiding fleet alone could not be compared to that of the American fleet, the destruction of the main French fleet provided a good example of surface warships and submarines working together, and those who ignored them would be in bad luck.

"British, Australians, New Zealanders, Canadians and even Asians, sailors, fishermen, mariners and some strange volunteers, the composition of this fleet is really complicated!" The other old sailor, who had been sitting silently beside him, also sighed that it was the funniest thing he knew to him, but he could not laugh anyway.

"Captain!" "Captain!" ……

When a lieutenant commander approached, everyone stood up and saluted.

"Alas! I'm now a bare-pole captain without a ship! For the first time, the captain, who usually had a straight face, sat among the sailors and talked with them, "Are those two small islands really worth this huge fleet?" The government has probably forgotten how fiercely it was attacked after buying Alaska for millions of dollars. ”

"Having sold this fleet, before the new ships are put into service and formed into combat effectiveness, there will be practically no sea barriers left on our east coast! Can those mud fortresses really defend against possible attacks from the sea? "A young sailor gave his opinion.

"Fool, who is going to attack us from the Atlantic!" The other lieutenant said dismissively.

"Won't the Germans? They can land on British soil, and they can cross the ocean to attack us! The young sailor asked rhetorically, unconvinced.

"Germans? When did those barbarians who were good at rampage on land become so interested in the ocean! The lieutenant colonel said with some frustration that once Britain is completely suppressed, Germany will inevitably actively replace its maritime supremacy, and it is only a matter of time before Germany and the United States compete for the sea.

"Look, they're starting to raise the flag!" The old sailor's shout pulled everyone back from their thoughts.

With a low and majestic whistle, the British St. George Cross naval flag slowly raised on the many warships in the harbor, and at this time several warships still flying the American flag in this harbor looked so lonely.

Soon after, the "Utah" gave the signal to "set sail," and in the louder whistle, the British special fleet, consisting of six dreadnought battleships, 12 armored battleships, 12 cruisers, 21 destroyers, 15 submarines, and 40 transport ships, slowly sailed out of the harbor one after another, heading for the distant British mainland, and those transport ships were also carrying a batch of army weapons and ammunition "gifted" by the United States Government.

In other major ports on the east coast of the United States, other large and medium-sized cargo ships responsible for transporting mineral resources and machinery to Germany set sail one after another, and for the United States Government these were two very good deals, which made a great deal of money from the transaction without offending either of the belligerents.

Standing on the bridge of the USS Utah, Churchill had mixed feelings at this time, and it was natural to be happy to be able to bring such a large and barely qualitative fleet back to the beleaguered Britain, but there were also huge hidden dangers in sailing out of the harbor before the personnel were fully recruited. According to the latest information from the British Naval Intelligence, the Japanese have agreed to send two-thirds of the capital ships of the Japanese Navy to the Polynesian Islands and Clipperton Island in the east-central Pacific Ocean. If the Japanese act in accordance with this agreement, the relations between Japan and the United States, which are already becoming increasingly conflicting interests, will become even more tense, and the Japanese naval forces will be greatly drawn closer to the US mainland, which will definitely be a very serious matter for the US government. Churchill believed that once the US government received this information, they were likely to delay or even cancel the deal, but Britain had no time to continue.

While Mr. Churchill was worried about the future of this special fleet and of Great Britain, the German commandos were overwhelmed by what appeared before their eyes.

"Oh God! Are these yellow things gold? It's wonderful! "Quite a few commandos from civilian families opened their mouths wide.

"This ...... How much gold is here! Even a spy like Cullen felt his heart beat when mountains of gold appeared in front of him, and he tried to estimate the amount of gold here, but it was a bit dazzling in the light.

"Can we take them all back to Germany?" At this time, he was still thinking about his motherland, and Helim proved with his actions that he was indeed an excellent German soldier.

"We're probably only going to be able to hold five or six tons of gold in our trucks and wagons, and they're going to be very slow!" Captain Xie Ding proved with calm that he was a good traditional spy, "It is more appropriate to bring 2 or 3 tons, we can scatter some of the gold around the vicinity, and bring more trouble than gold to the British people and the government, and if time permits, we will hide the rest of the gold, and wait for the main army to land before it is shipped back to Germany." ”

"It's a shame that there are at least ten tons of gold here! Considering that this is only a medium-sized vault, it seems that the wealth in the number one treasury of the British Empire is enough to dislocate your jaw! Haylim kept stroking those cold gold bricks, but he couldn't feel how many blood and tears of the people of Asia, Africa and Latin America were hidden behind the gold, knowing that the wealth of the British Empire was looted from all over the world.

"Alright, let's do it! Carry the outermost two piles of gold bricks to the truck or ox-and-horse cart, and don't try to fill the wagon, the gold is a very heavy thing, and if the cart is crushed, we will have to retreat with the gold on our backs! Cullen, who had counted the piles of gold bricks, stood up and ordered, according to his estimates, that a pile of gold here was about a ton, and that there were fifteen piles in this vault, and according to intelligence, there were about fifty tons of gold stored in this vault before the war, and it seemed that the British had transported more than half of it. As for the gold that has been shipped, it may still be somewhere hidden in the UK, or it may have been shipped to a safe Commonwealth country such as Canada, or it may have been spent in previous deals with the US.

The commandos, who had been a little flustered since entering the vault, finally became active, gathered around the two piles of gold bricks, and used their hands and bags to carry out as much gold as possible. Even if they can't have them, being able to hold a sufficient amount of gold in their arms is already a thing to boast about.

"Don't worry, everyone, it's better to find some tools like a small cart, we still have enough time!" Cullen looked at his watch, and according to the plan, they had about three quarters of an hour to carry the gold and evacuate, after which Tobias's troops in charge of blocking the attack would retreat.

While the commandos occupying the vault were busy carrying large piles of gold, the corpses of the Canadian cavalry and horses had been lying in front of Tobias's blocking position for some time. However, in the telescope of Tobias and others, the scene of billowing dust and smoke reappeared, and this time it was much louder than before.

"It seems that this is the first British unit to come to the rescue of the defenders of the vault, and now is the real test for us!" Sigurt whispered to Tobias that it was almost impossible to forcibly rob a vault on British soil without being detected, so the commandos were also ready for a tough battle.

"Not bad! There are also two battalions of more than 500 British cavalry! This time we can use brute force! There was no trace of panic on Tobias's face, his so-called violent weapon was a high-explosive ZHA drug buried on the road, and a kilogram of this violent ZHA drug was enough to blow several war horses into the sky. However, on the premise of ensuring that he could blow up the door of the vault, Cullen only left two boxes of this kind of ZHA medicine for the blocking troops.

"Corporal, get the soldiers in front ready, wait for a hundred British cavalry to detonate the zha medicine!" Tobias called a commando and ordered.

"Yes!"

The commando ran away with an excited face, which seemed to be the nature of the German soldiers' desire to fight.

Soon, the commandos could clearly see the figure of the British cavalry with the naked eye, they were one man and one horse, wielding sabers in their hands, and carrying cavalry short guns on their backs, it seemed that this was not a temporary conscripted army. The German soldiers double-checked their weapons and ammunition, and no one wanted their weapons to malfunction in the face of a cavalry onslaught, or to spend wasted time replenishing ammunition. In particular, the machine gunner behind the two heavy machine guns carefully made sure that the bullet belt was stuck in the correct position.

"Ready......" Tobias shouted in a low voice, his fingers clasped on the trigger of the revolver, just waiting for the soldiers in front to detonate the bullet.

The slightly tired but energetic British cavalry seemed to be oblivious to the two cone-shaped stone piles on the edge of the road, which were more than 30 meters apart and about 1 meter high, and they ran towards the assault area without slowing down.

"5, 20, 30...... It's so fast, it looks like there are 100 of them! A young commando stared at the British cavalry passing rapidly on the road ahead, his eyes could not count how many cavalry had passed, and after a moment's hesitation, he slammed down the lever of the detonator.

After a loud bang, even the German soldiers who detonated the ZHA medicine felt a ringing in their ears. The British cavalry very close to the explosion point was naturally fragmented or even shattered, and the huge impact of the high-explosive ZHA medicine also gave the stones covering the outside of the ZHA medicine box a huge kinetic energy, and these stones of different sizes flew around like shrapnel, and they instantly penetrated the bodies of the nearby British cavalry and war horses. Clouds of blood erupt from the bodies of humans and horses, and the stones often have a lot of energy after penetrating a body, and then they have a chance to make intimate contact with other bodies until they stay in the body of a person or horse, or fly far away.

In less than a second, another pile of rocks was detonated. The British cavalry saw only the shadow of a swarm of stones in their eyes, and before they could think for a moment, their bodies were pierced by high-speed hard stone objects of various sizes, and then they died almost painlessly. Perhaps because they have larger bodies, the horses often lie on the ground gasping for breath after being pierced by stones, and they can't see their gurgling and bleeding bodies, only the intense pain that spreads throughout their bodies.

After the two ZHA points were detonated, a burst of gunfire erupted from the assault position, the sound of rifles sounding rows and bursts, while the machine guns were much more coherent. The previous violent explosion obviously greatly interfered with the advance of the British cavalry, and the more than 100 cavalrymen who had rushed through the explosion area were fiercely blocked by German fire, while the hundreds of cavalry behind the explosion area slowed down or stopped their advance, and the explosion area where the smoke gradually cleared was the corpses or limbs of nearly 100 cavalrymen, as well as the remains of their faithful mounts.

More than 100 British cavalrymen who had already rushed past the explosion site were stunned by the explosion and the sudden bullets, and many of them actually rode their horses in circles without stopping, and naturally fell off their horses one by one, while the few cavalrymen who reacted quickly rode their horses and ran back, or dismounted and lay on the ground, using their cavalry short guns to barely return fire.

Bang...... Click......

A handsome-looking commando with a cold expression calmly and quickly pulled the gun and pulled the trigger again and again. The Enfield rifle was fitted with a 5x scope, and although he had only been exposed to this British rifle for a short period of one month, he had apparently combined his sniping skills with this rifle. At a distance of 6 or 700 meters, the British cavalry who tried to find a place to hide could not escape his guns, and the British constantly stopped moving in his scope.

There are a total of 5 specialized snipers in Tobias's blocking force, and 9 in the assault team attacking the vault, although they are not many in number, they are often able to suppress the opponent's fire points and snipe important targets. Before the British cavalry behind the blast area decided to assemble and attack, most of the more than 100 cavalry in front went to Heaven to report for duty.

In the "Royal Treasury No. 11", Cullen's commandos were sweating profusely carrying heavy gold nuggets, and when they heard the sound of explosions and gunfire in the distance, Cullen knew that the first British reinforcements had arrived.

"Everybody, hurry up! Our companions are desperately trying to stop the enemy from coming to their aid, and if we stay here for every minute, they will have to bear more danger! Cullen shouted encouragement to the panting commandos. Of the more than 180 commandos he brought, more than 50 died in the battle to capture the vault, 20 remained on guard around the convoy, 30 were responsible for handling the prisoners and making sure that no fish had slipped through the net, and the remaining 80 or so commandos all joined the queue to carry the gold, although each person only needed to carry a small amount of gold, but it was a long distance from the basement to the car.

As for the vault defenders who surrendered and were captured, the commandos cleanly killed them all and blended them into the British soldiers who had died in battle. You must know that this is British soil, it is not wise to leave some British soldiers who have seen themselves, if the British army sticks the portraits of Cullen and others on the streets and alleys according to their descriptions, I am afraid that the commandos will have to hide in the woods.

"Captain, those two piles of gold have been moved, and it looks like our cart and ox-and-horse cart will have a hard time loading anything more! What to do with the dozen or so piles of gold left in the vault? Blow it up? ”

Karen was a little depressed, because there was little point in blowing up the gold nuggets, "How many more zha pills do we have?" ”

The commando counted with his fingers, "It took three boxes to blow up the wall, three boxes to blow up the gate of the vault, and now we don't have much ZHA medicine left, just four boxes!" ”

"I'm afraid it's not enough to blow up the vault! We'd better blow up the vault and the buildings on it, bury the rest of the gold in the earth, and don't think an ounce of gold ever leaving the UK again! Karen looked around, "Corporal, you take a few soldiers to the barracks and storehouses of the defenders and search to see if you can find some more zha medicine!" ”

At this moment, the gunfire in the distance stopped. Cullen knew that it was only a temporary halt to the British attack, and that if Tobias couldn't hold it and was about to retreat, he would fire a red flare. In the best-case scenario, however, the red flare is raised from the vault first, so that the blocking force can calmly evacuate.
