Chapter 8: The Gold of the Japanese
The magic capital under the flashing neon lights exudes an enchanting atmosphere. Gao Yang, who completed the task of suppressing bandits, gained 4,400 energy points. After a brief trial, all the bandits who were captured were shot with blood debts, and the rest were sent to the mines to be used as coolies, which took at least five years to dig.
Gao Yang's main target in the magic capital this time was the gold of Kolchak in the hands of the Soviet Union and Japan. The gold from the imperial treasury, which Kolchak had carried with him at the time of his defeat, disappeared along with it, and the world said that it sank into Lake Baikal. Gao Yang scoffed at this, if it was really in Baikal, Stalin would have fished out the gold even if he drained all the water.
Not to mention where did the money come from a few years later to buy a lot of industrial equipment from the United States? As for the gold in the hands of the Japanese, not much of it was paid for by Kolchak for the purchase of arms, and some of the gold transferred by the nobles was also swallowed by the Japanese.
Gao Yang was very interested in these gold, and because the Soviet Union was undergoing currency reform, there were not many channels to hedge money, so Gao Yang exchanged all the new rubles in his hand for dollars, and then used dollars to tie gold.
Gao Yang's main target is Japan, and the reason doesn't need to be explained much Everyone on the earth knows it. The origin is also very eye-catching to send the mission: "The super battleship that appeared in advance made the Yamato-class battleship, which cost one-tenth of Japan's gross national product, appear earlier than history." β
"Huh this?" Gao Yang touched his nose and thought, "Let the Japanese put all their energy into the navy, and start building it after the end of the Washington Treaty." β
Gao Yang spent a lot of money in Europe to buy the British Navy's nearly 100-year-old technical MKI 18-inch naval gun and triple turret. Although it was a technique from a hundred years ago, after all, it was a military technique, and it took Gao Yang a lot of money to buy all the materials from the black market, filling a full six large suitcases. Possess all the materials and drawings.
Walking into the Japanese Consulate in Hongkou District, he said to the reception staff in a pure Tokyo accent, "I have important things to meet Mr. Navy AttachΓ©." β
Toshihide Nakamura is the nephew of Vice Admiral Yoshio Nakamura, deputy chief of staff of the Combined Fleet, and came to the magic capital a few years ago to serve as the naval attachΓ© at the consulate. Toshihide Nakamura is a playboy in Tokyo, and he women everywhere and is sent abroad by his uncle, and the magic capital is gilded. After the signing of the Washington Treaty, the atmosphere within the Japanese Navy was very depressing.
"The contemptible person is the naval attache of the Consulate of the Imperial Japanese Empire in the magic capital, Nakamura Toshihide, what do you call this gentleman?" Toshihide Nakamura asked politely.
Gao Yang smiled and didn't speak, and took out a stack of materials from the leather bag next to him and handed it to Nakamura.
Nakamura took the document and did not rush to look through it, but sat on the sofa next to it and looked through the document with a relaxed face.
Gao Yang didn't say anything, he took out his cigarette and lit it, and before Nakamura finished reading the first page, his face changed violently, and he looked at it with shaking hands.
Nakamura looked at it very quickly but carefully, and Nakamura, who was born in a naval family, could still tell the authenticity of the documents.
Closing the document, Nakamura calmed down his excitement, organized his words, and said to Gao Yang: "This gentleman, please go to the VIP room to rest and enjoy the exquisite dance of the Japanese Empire." Consul Shinji Takeda will be here to welcome you shortly. β
Nakamura respectfully invited Gao Yang into the VIP room and motioned for the servants to entertain him. Nakamura immediately ran towards the consul's office.
Gao Yang drank sake and watched the white-faced geisha perform, but he scolded in his heart, "What is it?" I danced like a ghost fight, but fortunately I didn't eat. β
It didn't take long for Toshihide Nakamura to hurriedly walk in with a short old man.
Came to the side of Gao Yang, bowed ninety degrees, and said, "Contemptible, is Shinji Takeda, the consul of the Consulate of the Imperial Japanese Empire in the Demon Capital, may I ask the gentleman, my surname?" β
Gao Yang lazily said to Shinji Takeda, "It doesn't matter what my name is, the important thing is that I have something that interests you, let's talk about money." β
Takeda waved his hand and motioned for the geisha to stand down and sit down cross-legged across from Gao Yang. Nakamura picked up the flask and filled it for the two of them. Takeda raised his glass and gestured to Gao Yang. After drinking, Gao Yang said to Takeda, "Mr. Consul, you can call me Smith, and I will give these things to you to take back for identification first." After saying that, he handed the document bag to Nakamura. After a pause, he said, "I'm a businessman, and these materials are priced at 5 tons of gold, and they don't bargain. β
Takeda's hand holding the wine glass shook, and most of the glass spilled out. said to Gao Yang, "Mr. Smith, this price is unacceptable"
Before Takeda's words were finished, Gao Yang waved his hand and said, "You can't decide, send the news to someone who can decide." I'll be back in 10 days and look forward to your answers. β
Refusing Nakamura's offer, he got up and left the consulate. After a few turns, the spy Gao Yang, who shook off his heels, returned to Bern.
In the next few days, in addition to showing his face from time to time in Feng County, Gao Yang's main focus was on registering and opening a number of foreign trade companies in the original time and space. He flew to the northern capital to set up a foreign-funded import and export company, purchased a large amount of rice and flour, and purchased a lot of coal mining equipment from a machinery factory in a small city in the south. The delivery address is a leather bag company opened by Gao Yang in an equatorial country in Africa.
Gao Yang flew to an equatorial country to visit the president of that country, and after a large check was delivered, Gao Yang's mining company was opened, and Mr. President owned 30% of the dry shares. Gao Yang didn't care about this, it was just a pretense.
Ten days passed quickly, and Gao Yang walked into the Japanese Consulate in 1924 again with his briefcase.
In the past 10 days, there has been a lot of noise in the Japanese Navy, and there have been big fights between those who support and those who oppose them. In the end, an agreement was reached under the pressure of the top. Get the blueprint in hand, then kill Smith and get the gold back.
In 1924, the navy was still the world of large ships and huge guns, and although Japan already had the technique of triple turret, it was just a simplified version of the technique learned from the British, and it was not up to par at all. As for the 18-inch naval gun, it is a high-tech dream of the Japanese Navy.
After the appraisal of naval experts, the authenticity of the information has been confirmed, and what is now to do is to get the complete version of the information and blueprint from Gao Yang.
Toshihide Nakamura welcomed Takyo to the VIP room, and Shinji Takeda accompanied a short old man in a traditional kimono to greet him.
Gao Yang looked at Nakamura beside him, and then at the two short men opposite, and suddenly said to Nakamura, "You're not Japanese, are you?" You're so tall and they're so short? β
When Nakamura was stunned, Takeda had already walked over and introduced Gao Yang and said, "Mr. Smith, this is Vice Admiral Kojiro Yamashita of the Great Japanese Navy's Armament Director. β
"General Yamashita, is the gold ready?" Gao Yang went straight to the point. Yamashita was stunned and then said, "Mr. Smith, are your things ready?" β
"At ten o'clock tomorrow night, the No. 7 warehouse of Zhabei Heshun Warehouse will come with gold." After Gao Yang finished speaking, he handed the briefcase in his hand to Nakamura Toshihide, and then said, "There are things you are interested in, if you want, we will talk about it tomorrow night." With that, he turned and left.
A few people under the mountain watched Gao Yang leave, and returned to the secret room to open the documents and browse. "Bring Mr. Takajo and Mr. Nanbu here." Yamashita didn't finish reading it before he instructed Nakamura.
After a while, two men in kimonos walked in and bowed to Yamashita. I took the file and looked at it. Yamashita and the others waited quietly. About an hour later, one of them took off his glasses and said to Yamashita, "It's a carburized case-hardened manganese-chrome alloy steel formula, but it's only one-fifth, and the key ratio is not at all." β
"Trouble Mr. Takashiro." Yamashita said with a slight bow.
"What now?" Shinji Takeda said.
"Reporting to the military department, this is no longer something we can decide." Yamashita said.
The next night, Gao Yang, who drove a Dodge heavy truck, came to the No. 7 warehouse of Zhabei Heshun warehouse. Gao Yang walked in with a huge suitcase, full of Japanese soldiers in the warehouse. Gao Yang, who was pointed at dozens of guns, came to Yamashita Kojiro with an expressionless face.
Pulled over a chair, sat down, lit a cigarette, looked down the mountain, and said, "Where is the gold?" β
"Mr. Smith, the gold is ready." Yamashita waved his hand, and the Japanese soldiers behind him pulled down the black cloth, and the neatly stacked gold mountain appeared in front of Gao Yang.
Gao Yang smiled, patted the box and didn't speak.
The box was opened, and several experts began to look through the materials and blueprints. When Gao Yang finished smoking the whole pack of cigarettes. Masao Takashiro nodded at Yamashita and said, "That's right." β
Gao Yang stood up and said to Yamashita, "General, put all the gold on the car outside." β
"Mr. Smith, about Knubber's armor," Yamashita said, getting up.
"Ten days later, this is the place at this time. Or five tons of gold. After Gao Yang finished speaking, he mouthed at the gold pile Nunu.
"Mr. Smith, nice to work with." Yamashita gritted his teeth and shook hands with Gao Yang.
The military department sent him an order to give the gold to Gao Yang, and then arrest Gao Yang and recover the gold when he traded Knoob's armor next time. Yamashita instinctively refused, this is five tons of gold! It's all the gold of the Great Japanese Empire!
Gao Yang hummed a little song and got into the truck and drove all the way to the Huangpu River. The newly created biochemical warriors carried the gold onto the ship and headed for the Yangtze River. Collect all the gold into the storage space and travel back to the original plane. The biochemical fighters set fire to the fishing boat, jumped into the river and dived away. The special high-tech people who were following the shore were dumbfounded. How to chase this?
Come to Libreville, a coastal port in an equatorial country, and meet mercenaries recruited from Europe. These mercenaries were recruited by Gao Yang from the most reputable mercenary companies in Europe, and all of them were experienced veterans who had received various assignments many times, and of course they received high salaries.
The team was led by a black American man with a nine-year career as a special forces. He has been a mercenary for more than 10 years and has a lot of experience, and he has been to Africa many times.
"The boss, my name is James, and I'm the team leader this time. Our team members Hans, Gabry, Cherkov, Che Renbiao" James introduces his team to Gao Yang. There were seventeen in all, including French, British, Russians, Americans, Germans, and Koreans.
"It's hard work, I'll leave it all to you this time." Gao Yang smiled.
Boarding five off-road vehicles respectively, the group drove towards the inland forest.
