Chapter 26 Exchange of Counterfeit Banknotes
"Oh my God" Kerim stared blankly at the two five-pound bills placed in front of him, one of which he had personally taken out of the bank, and after the assistant messed up the order, Kerim couldn't find the counterfeit note. In that mysterious room, Krim had already seen the counterfeit money printed, but this time he handled it himself. "Hahaha, get rich, get rich" The suitcase behind Kerim neatly contained the freshly printed 10,000 pound banknotes, which was not all counterfeit banknotes, according to Zhao Zhi's instructions, Kerim needed to use the 100,000 pounds to test the water in the bank first.
In order to make the counterfeit bills look more realistic, Kerim kidnapped almost all the rogue children in Southampton, and the only job of these rogue langes gathered by Kerim was to make the counterfeit money old. Stimulated by bread and sausages, the rogues rubbed the counterfeit bills like old ones with their cracked little hands, and the idle Morun made a special trip to the counterfeit money factory in Krim. A few pieces of barbed wire and some wooden strips plus a crank handle, Melun made a hand-cranked windmill for Krim, as long as the shaker handle, the barbed wire like a shrimp pot will keep rotating, the counterfeit money and rag heads in the cage will keep rotating and rubbing, as long as it takes just ten minutes, the counterfeit money in a cage will be old.
"Riley, take the money to the bank and deposit it, remember, open an account in Leslie's name" Riley is a temporary helper hired by Krim, this Irish Red Nose is the subordinate that Krim has received from the dead bigwigs. For such a risky thing, Krim will not use his subordinates, and if the bank finds out that these are counterfeit banknotes, the police will not be able to find his head.
Riley's new suit made Riley a little uncomfortable, but under Krim's warning eyes, Riley still sat upright in the car. In order to make Riley look worthy of the status of being able to come up with 10,000 pounds, Kerim specially found a tailor to customize a suit for him, and even Riley's leather shoes were specially bought from London by Klim's subordinates. Riley, who was originally long-looking, looked no different from those rich children who mingled among celebrities all day long after being dressed up by Krim.
"Go, we'll be waiting for you here, we'll go somewhere else later" The car stopped outside the coffee shop on the corner of Seventh Street, opposite the Southampton branch of the famous British bank Barclays. Unbeknownst to him, Riley strolls across the street with his suitcase and walks across the street to the bank where a young girl with an apparently Italian appearance, who has been sent by Klim to spy on Riley, enters the bank in front of Riley with a bouquet of flowers. Unbeknownst to Riley, as he entered the bank with the counterfeit bills, Krim, who was parked outside the coffee shop, hurried away, waiting for Riley's news at the phone booth down the street.
Xu is Kerim and they came too late, it was almost lunch time, so there were not many people in the bank hall, the girl holding the bouquet was obviously a frequent customer of the bank, and after greeting the familiar bank guard, the girl took out a few banknotes from her wallet to handle the deposit business, but her eyes always glanced at Riley who was not far from her, intentionally or unintentionally. Riley was a half-old man with round glasses who had accompanied his former boss to the bank a few times, and Riley knew that such a receptionist was a skilled person and would not delay his time.
"I'm going to open an anonymous account, in Leslie's name" The reason why Klim chose Barclays is because Barclays has an anonymous deposit business, which does not require the depositor to provide proof of identity, and only needs to confirm the signature and seal to complete the transaction. The old man was not surprised, but casually raised his eyes to look at Riley, and the young man sitting in front of him looked like the kind of rich family owner, and perhaps the purpose of using the anonymous account was just to hide his property.
"10,000 pounds" Riley was very imposing, and directly opened the suitcase under his feet, and took out those banknotes of different denominations from inside, including five pounds denomination, 10 pound denomination, and some 20 pound denomination. If a person dressed in ordinary clothes came to deposit 10,000 pounds, the bank might still be suspicious, but Riley's style made the bank's people put their doubts to the minimum.
"Please wait a moment," the old man politely brought Riley a cup of coffee, and took a few of the bills of different denominations and sent them to the appraiser quickly. Like other banks, Barclays has experts who specialize in identifying counterfeit banknotes, and customers like Riley who have too much money have to inspect the banknotes before they are deposited. The banknotes brought by Riley were of different denominations, and the two appraisers in the laboratory went into battle together, rubbing the paper, inspecting the watermarks, and finally taking a magnifying glass to look at the entire banknote again, only to confirm that the banknotes were genuine.
"Please take it, this is your cheque book" Riley did as Kerim instructed, and directly received the cheque book in Leslie's name, which he could use to pay for purchases throughout England as long as Riley did not write a cheque higher than the amount he had deposited. Riley came out, carrying an empty suitcase, and the men who stayed in the café and kept an eye on the bank called Kerim, and while Riley was looking around for the car, Kerim drove back from the street in front of them, and the whole operation was completed safely.
After Krim returned to the port with Riley, Zhao Zhi, who was far away in Portsmouth, also received the good news, and the success of the counterfeit pound banknotes marked that Zhao Zhi was about to get a steady stream of supplies from the British, and the next goal was to counterfeit the francs, and the fleet transporting the Jews would send the counterfeited francs to the port of Marseille. "Tell Kerim that you can start moving" Zhao Zhi gave an order, and dozens of Kerim's shrewd subordinates rushed to the counties of England with the first batch of 300,000 pounds printed to order food and medicine for the coming wave of Jewish refugees, and of course some military supplies were included in these food and medicines.
Zhao Zhi's counterfeit banknote factory in Southampton is different from the German printing house in Sachsenhausen, the Germans are all Jews, and most of them have experienced the Holocaust, so although these Jews dare not resist the Germans, they will not really print counterfeit banknotes for the Germans. Zhao Zhi's counterfeit banknote factory in Southampton is different, except for a few technicians who are masters of counterfeiting and crime that he brought from the United States, and the rest of the printers are Italian gangsters from Sicily.
If the Jews are the best people in the world at collecting money, then the Italians from Sicily are natural masters of crime, and it is only fitting that they should be responsible for the production of counterfeit banknotes. And Zhao Zhi not only paid them a very high salary, but also promised Kerim that in the entire counterfeit operation, the Italian gangs led by Kerim accounted for 20% of all profits, Zhao Zhi gave Kerim a rough calculation, when the war between the British and French forces and the German army spread to the English Channel, the Southampton counterfeit money factory could at least counterfeit at least nearly 100 million pounds sterling and no less than 50 million francs, so Kerim hated to use those printers as two people.
Hans led a team of mercenaries to kill almost all the Italian gang leaders who migrated to England, and Klim, who was protected by Zhao Zhi, suddenly rose up and took over the forces and territories left by the gang leaders, and the Italian gangs were guilty of not being able to live with their families, so after Krim paid a large amount of money to settle in, the widows of those gang leaders were sent back to Sicily. Being able to treat the widow of the opponent well shows that Kerim is a gentleman, so after the widows settled in Sicily, a large number of Sicilian young people with gold rush dreams came to Britain to join Kerim.
Kerim is an ambitious person, and Zhao Zhi knows his thoughts, but he pretends not to find out, the counterfeit money operation also needs the cooperation of Italian gangsters, and Zhao Zhi values not counterfeit banknotes, but those materials that are about to arrive. Gangsters are gangsters after all, in the face of the army's strong combat effectiveness, all gangsters are in vain, once the German army successfully crosses the sea into Britain, what awaits the Krim gangs will only be destroyed, and their only way to retreat is to take refuge in themselves, so Zhao Zhi is not in a hurry now.
Like Krim, Hunter has benefited from the counterfeiting operation, and this new star of the CIA has received a large amount of cash support from Zhao Zhi, which has alleviated the depletion of funds for the CIA's British station, and of course, Zhao Zhi will not tell Hunter that the pounds he provided to him are counterfeit banknotes. With the support of a large amount of money, the intelligence agents in Hunter's possession obtained a large amount of confidential information from the British high-level, and Hunter, who had already boarded Zhao Zhi's ship, would naturally share this information with Zhao Zhi, but he did not know that some of the confidential information had been sent to Germany by Zhao Zhi through secret channels.
Since Britain and France declared war on Germany, German intelligence agents lurking in Britain and France have been arrested on a large scale, and the intelligence network that has been painstakingly built up has also been seriously damaged. The information sent by Zhao Zhi became a timely rain, so that the German army had a certain understanding of the movement and arrangement of the British and French forces, for which Germany loaded a batch of arms on the Jewish refugee ship from Bremerhaven, which was called a gift to the refugees to protect themselves, but in fact it was a gift to Zhao Zhi as a gift for transmitting information.
