Chapter 546: 856 Tons of Gold, 125 Tons of White Gold, 40 Chests of Jewels and Relics

"Hello, Lieutenant Colonel Horn, please ask your soldiers to give me the radio, and I will contact Deputy Chief of Staff Hammond and let him speak to you. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info This ship is all General Hammond's cargo, I think you can understand. Abdul politely shook Yn's hand and said.

"No need, haha. Mr. Abdul, where are you going to transport these goods? "Lieutenant Colonel Wooen waved his hand again and again, how dare he, a lieutenant colonel, go to the deputy chief of the general staff of the Ministry of National Defense on the phone.

"Somalia, no comment on the exact place of landing. Lieutenant Colonel Wooen, you should know what it means to be confidential. If you have any questions, you can contact the head of the Ministry of Defense and he will give you an explanation. "Abdul has a tough attitude.

"Mr. Dürer, I think you are mistaken. I mean I can send warships to escort cruise ships, after all, Somalia is still a long way off. Said the lieutenant colonel.

"Okay, this can be there. However, our freighter is out of fuel and needs to be refueled at the shore for overhaul, and I hope that Mr. Lieutenant Colonel can help. I'll report back to the general when I get back. Abdul readily agreed.

"No problem, I'll arrange for the soldiers to pilot you at once." The bearded lieutenant colonel was flattered and nodded repeatedly.

An hour later.

The Awa Maru was successfully berthed at the port of Singapore, and the British military mechanics and maintenance engineers were busy filling the Awa Maru with fuel and overhauling the consoles.

It is clear from the enthusiasm of their work, what kind of orders their superiors gave them.

"Dürer, do you really know the Deputy Chief of the General Staff of the British Ministry of Defense?" Wang Liang asked Abdul curiously.

The conversation just now was in English, and although Wang Liang's English was not very good, he could still understand the general meaning.

During the conversation, Wang Liang clearly heard Abdul mention that he should be the deputy chief of the general staff of the Ministry of National Defense.

This is no small position.

The Ministry of Defence is the British government department responsible for the implementation of the government's defense policy and is also the headquarters of the British armed forces.

The Ministry of Defence affirms that its main objective is to defend Britain and its interests, as well as to strengthen international peace and stability.

The Ministry of Defence also manages the day-to-day operations of the armed forces, contingency preparedness and defence procurement.

The Chief of the Defence General Staff is the head of the professional military personnel of the British Armed Forces, assisted by the Deputy Chief of the General Staff of Defence and the professional military personnel of the three services.

There are also a number of Deputy Chiefs of General Staff (Chiefs of Staff) with specific responsibilities, such as Deputy Chief of General Staff (Equipment Performance), Deputy Chief of Staff (Personnel and Training) and Deputy Chief of General Staff (Operations).

In addition, there are a number of Assistant Chiefs of the General Staff of Defence, including the Secretary of Defence who served the British monarch at the court, and is also the Assistant Chief of the General Staff (Personnel) for Defence.

The deputy chief of the general staff of the Ministry of National Defense, who was in charge of personnel and training, mentioned by Abdul just now, is definitely a big man in the British army, which makes Wang Liang very interested.

This kid is an arms dealer, can he know such a high-level person?

It's a 6.

"Of course, when my father worked with him, he was only a brigadier general, a deputy division commander in the army. Unexpectedly, after only a few years, he was promoted to major general and served as the deputy chief of the general staff of the Ministry of National Defense. Abdul replied proudly.

"Woo said that he would send two warships to escort us until we arrived in Somalia, and I accepted." Abdul suddenly thought of what Wu En had said to himself in private, and said to Wang Liang.

"Okay, that's great."

Wang Liang naturally won't refuse, it is said that there are still many pirates in the Somali waters, and with two British warships, the security is even more spectacular.

That's a good thing.

Docking at the port of Singapore for nearly two hours, replenishing fresh water, moving food supplies, refueling and overhauling all of these takes time.

It wasn't until after eight o'clock that he set sail again.

The British warships were carrying out escort missions to the Awa Maru.

In this way, the people on the Awa Maru are more relaxed and can sleep peacefully.

Seeing this, the Japanese first mate was even more honest, and he didn't dare to make any more moths.

After determining its course, the Awa Maru headed straight for Somalia.

*********

It took more than 300 hours to walk until October 28, 1940, when he arrived in Somalia.

Because of the presence of British troops, and the fact that Abdul had greeted the British officers in the harbor in advance, the Awa Maru was able to land without incident.

Not only that, but the British army was able to provide a transport company for Abdul to carry the supplies on the ship.

This made Wang Liang once again refresh his perception of Abdul's ability.

The relationship is really hard.

Even with this transportation company, 36 trucks had to go back and forth dozens of times before all the things on the freighter were transported.

"Oh, shit, Dürer, what the hell are you doing. What the hell is this, doing so much, running so much. The commander of the transport company, who looked familiar with Abdul, complained.

"Haha, old look, some things bought from somewhere else. Come, Captain, this is for you, and it will not be treated badly to you. Abdul smiled, prevaricated easily, and pulled out a wad of bills and handed it to the commander of the transport company.

When the British saw the money, they immediately smiled and stopped asking.

Wang Liang and his entourage followed Abdul to his villa.

The villa is on the outskirts, a very secluded place.

The mansion of Abdul occupies a large area, a two-story villa, a manor of dozens of acres.

But it looks like no one has taken care of it for a long time, it's messy, overgrown with weeds.

Just let the British unload the big boxes in the yard and let them go back.

After that, the work of transporting the gold to the villa had to be completed by Wang Liang and the brothers of Abdul, which was another huge project.

Abdul seems to have a habit of making holes, and there is a very hidden basement under the villa, and an old driver like Wang Liang can't find it without Abdul's guidance.

The basement is the same as in Manila, surprisingly large, and seems to have been prepared for the gold for a long time.

Hundreds of large boxes just filled the basement.

Gold, jewelry, platinum, tin ingots, after these precious things are placed, Wang Liang can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

In the end, Wang Liang simply estimated the weight of these treasures based on the weight of an iron box.

856 tonnes of gold and 125 tonnes of platinum.

40 boxes of jewelry and artifacts, 196 tons of tin ingots.

856 tons of gold? Fart, right?

How could there be so many? Can a villa fit?

To explain here, gold is very heavy, one ton is 0.051733 cubic meters.

So 856 tons doesn't seem to take up much space, but the weight is terrible.
