One thousand seventy-four. Minister of Finance
The so-called "plan B" made Nash feel a serious crisis.
At the same time, it also gave him a new judgment on the current situation. He is in charge of intelligence work, and there are many things that are hidden from him by those high-level secrets of the government, and with his authority, he is not qualified to find out these things.
But the appearance of "Lieutenant Colonel Moyol" allowed him to finally see the current situation clearly, and even the Americans were ready to evacuate the British government.
He wasn't too worried, for from his first day in office, he was ready to die, and he was willing to give everything he had for the government.
However, he had to think about his wife and daughter.
Everyone thought he was a hard-hearted man, and he would be indifferent even when his wife and daughter died in front of him. But Nash was tempted to tell them that everyone was wrong, including his wife and daughter.
He loved them so much that he was willing to give everything for them, but given his position, he was unable to express his love, and this led to his tragedy.
Every time he thought of this, Nash couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
Now, the U.S. government is ready to evacuate the families of senior officials, and he hopes that his wife and daughter will leave this dangerous place and go to the United States, but his wife will never want to see him, and the only hope is on "Lieutenant Colonel Moyol".
May God be merciful to Himself.
Lieutenant Colonel Moyol would take care of it for himself, and Nash quickly freed himself from these distractions. He needed to confirm what "Lieutenant Colonel Moyol" had told him: that the British Treasurer, yes, was in secret contact with the enemy.
This would be a very terrible thing, because yes not only knew the economic fate of the United Kingdom, but more importantly, he knew too much top-secret information about the British government. Once the person defected. It will have an incalculable and terrible impact on the UK.
Nash would never allow such a thing to happen......
......
In the afternoon, the warm sun shines on London, and the city has a rare few days of good weather, which allows the British to enjoy it to the fullest.
The cafes on the streets, unaffected by the impending war, still gathered a large number of Britons who had to enjoy an afternoon tea no matter how busy and nervous they were.
Two big men appeared in front of a café on the corner, looking around nervously. After making sure that there was no danger, he nodded to a sedan parked in the distance, quickly. The Minister of Finance of the British Fenton government, Mr. Yes, stepped out of the car and walked briskly into the café.
A young man who didn't look very old had been waiting for him there for a long time......
"I'm yes."
"Hello, Mr. Yes, I'm Paris."
Yaes sat down across from the young man: "I didn't think Mr. Elliot would call me. I remember the last time I saw him in New York was three years ago. Is everything okay with Mr. Elliot? ”
"Ah, Mr. Elliot is very good, and he asked me to show you his respect for you......" Despite his youth, Paris showed a maturity that did not match his age: "Mr. Yas, your request to Mr. Elliot has been accepted, and we will arrange for your family to leave London in two days, rest assured, we will have someone to take care of the matter." ”
"Ahh I don't know how to express my gratitude. "The enemy will soon attack the British mainland, and I have personally decided to fight to the end with the British government to defend our territory," said yes very seriously. But war should not involve innocent people. To be honest, I am more than capable of sending my family out of the country, but if this news is leaked, it will cause unnecessary panic among the people, so I have to send a plea for help to Mr. Elliot......"
Paris smiled slightly: "Mr. Elliot can fully understand your distress, so this time he asked Mrs. Morgan to send an invitation to your wife and family to meet in the United States...... No one can make irresponsible remarks about normal interpersonal interactions. Mr. Elliott was very thoughtful and everything was already arranged. ”
Yes felt that he was finally able to breathe a long sigh of relief...... No one knows how far the war will go, and no one knows whether London will be able to hold it, and people are always selfish in such a situation. In addition, being able to send his family out of this city that will soon be covered by war can also allow him to devote himself to work without distractions. At least that's how Jesus comforted himself.
"This matter will be properly handled, so let's talk about another issue." Paris was quick to say, "About the war bonds? ”
Yes still felt a little strange. At the most critical time of the war, the Fenton government issued a batch of war bonds, but the British people's subscription sentiment could not be described as high, and the result was a great disappointment to the Fenton government, until now, even a third of the bonds have not been sold. This forced the Fenton government to borrow money from the U.S. government.
And when he made his request to Mr. Eliot, Mr. Elliot made a similar request to Yes, asking for a bond worth £10 million.
£10 million is not a big number for a government, and the question is, what does Eliot, the super-rich, want this ten million pounds? And to be fair, once the Fenton government falls, these so-called bonds will be worthless.
Yaes again raised his question: "Paris, is Mr. Eliot really sure that he wants to subscribe for ten million pounds of war bonds?" ”
"Yes, ten million." Paris nodded.
"But I can't imagine how ten million pounds would mean anything special to Mr. Eliot...... "yes said with a frown, "which is an astronomical sum for the average man." But for Mr. Eliot, he simply didn't care. ”
Paris smiled slightly: "Mr. Elliot has a special affection for the British, and he knows that your war bonds are not selling very well. The British people were not interested in using the war bonds, and Mr. Eliot wanted to show everyone in his way that the Fenton government could be trusted. ”
Although this explanation is a bit far-fetched, it still fills Yes's heart with gratitude. After all, there are some true friends in the most difficult time in the UK......
"Of course, we have a special request." Paris continued: "Mr. Elliott has asked you to personally write a document certifying that this bond was purchased by Mr. Elliot from the British government by lawful means, whatever happens in the future. The UK government must recognise the authenticity and validity of these bonds. ”
Yes didn't even think about it...... At this time, he felt that Mr. Eliot's request was really ridiculous......
What if you write this document yourself? If the Fenton government had been in place, then the bond would have been valid, but if the Fenton government had collapsed. Will the new British government give Mr. Eliot an exchange for the documents it has done?
Perhaps these super-rich people have never been very sensitive to politics, or are they trying to use these war bonds to blackmail the new government in the future?
"Then I think we've had a great time working together......" Paris stood up and shook Yes's hand, "I'll be waiting for you here this time tomorrow afternoon, Mr. Yes." I'll bring my check. And I'd love to see your handwritten documentation. ”
"Of course, tomorrow is still this time, but why don't you go directly to my office?"
"I love the air."
Paris said this and left the café quickly......
......
"The man's name is Paris." In another café across the street, Wang Weiyi pointed to Paris who was in the car: "He is a confidant of Elliot of the Wittgenstein family in the United States, in fact, you don't need me to say anything, you also know something about the special relationship between the Wittgenstein family and Germany, right?" ”
Nash nodded quickly: "Yes, we have done some research before this, and the Wittgensteins are inextricably linked to the German side. Eliot, in particular, had been a follower of Baron Alexon back then. But we never had any real evidence. And the United States did not dare to touch Eliot easily, and he maintained a long-term close relationship with the Morgan family and the Rockefeller family...... The influence of these big American conglomerates in your country is just too great......"
Wang Weiyi took a sip of coffee: "And we also have other information, yes is through the Wittgenstein family and the German side secretly established contacts, he had been to the United States a few years ago, and it was at that time that he met Eliot. Mr. Nash, their contacts are becoming more and more frequent, and the Queen's intelligence service, through this network, promises to protect the family of Yes, and at the same time will give Yes a large sum of money on the condition that Yes must betray the interests of Britain and the United States......"
For such a traitor, Nash is extremely hateful. What he could not imagine was that a high-ranking official so trusted by the president could do such a despicable and shameless thing.
"They'll start trading tomorrow afternoon." Wang Weiyi said casually: "I think your subordinates also heard clearly in the eavesdropper just now. ”
Nash's men quickly arrived in front of them from a hidden room, and at the same time proved the judgment of "Lieutenant Colonel Moyol", which made Nash even more convinced of "Lieutenant Colonel Moyol".
"Well, I think tomorrow we will reveal a false and ugly true face!" Nash struggled to control his anger: "But what about Paris? This is probably a tricky question. ”
"yes, that's a pretty tricky question." Wang Weiyi sighed: "Once Paris is arrested in the UK, it will cause a series of reactions from those big American conglomerates, which is not very beneficial to us." And Paris was just an intermediary, and his arrest could have been entirely personal, and I can assure you. In a few days, Paris will return to the United States safely. ”
Speaking of this, Wang Weiyi was silent: "Through the information we have and Paris's line, I think we can probably dig up more moths." ”
Nash groaned, then nodded slowly. Yes, Lieutenant Colonel Moyol is fully justified in saying that a Paris will not make up for the situation, but his presence may be more beneficial to himself......
......
"Paris. You've done an excellent job. Wang Weiyi looked at Paris standing in front of him, as if he saw the young and energetic Paris again.
"Thank you for your appreciation, Baron." Paris was a little more poised than the younger Elliot: "I think yes has completely fallen into our trap. We use two hundred thousand pounds. He bribed the butler beside him, a butler who had followed Jesus for twenty years, and who trusted him even more than his wife. ”
"Twenty years. Two hundred thousand pounds. £10,000 per year. Wang Weiyi smiled: "Is this the value of a person?" ”
Paris also smiled: "Everyone is valuable, it depends on whether we can properly assess his value, and yes is no different." ”
Wang Weiyi found himself admiring Paris more and more...... To be honest, he wasn't very familiar with Paris before, but he was completely reassuring to hear Eliot introduce this young man to his business, and now it seems that he may be even better than Elliot described.
"Paris, tomorrow you will also be arrested by British intelligence...... Wang Weiyi said slowly, "you will be interrogated." But Nash will release you soon, just maybe you'll be deported. ”
"I'm not used to the weather. If Mr. Nash could get me back to the United States, I would be grateful. Paris shrugged indifferently.
Wang Weiyi's smile looks so bright, and a good show directed by himself is beginning to be staged in London......
......
At this time, President Fenton also received a secret report from Nash, and the anger and sadness in his heart were completely indescribable......
He trusted Yes so much, put the entire country's economy in his hands, and no matter what important decisions he made, he would always ask for his opinion as soon as possible, but such a person he trusted betrayed him so ruthlessly. He wanted yes to stand in front of him right now and ask him what he thought. But reason made him restrain his uncool approach......
"Are you sure?" Fenton tried to make his tone sound calmer.
"It's almost certain, and I've heard it myself."
Nash's answer was so confident, but what he would never have imagined was that the content he heard through the bug had already been manipulated by Wang Weiyi through the Ziguang Military Base, and what he heard was just some specially processed recordings.
Sometimes, people's eyes and ears can also deceive themselves......
"Mr. President, I just spoke on the phone with U.S. Deputy Secretary of Defense General Phillips, and the general confirmed the identity of Lieutenant Colonel Moyol......" Prime Minister Wilkins walked in.
Now, Nash can rest assured that he can't talk directly to General Phillips, but President Fenton and Prime Minister Wilkins can. Since there is nothing to doubt about Lieutenant Colonel Moyol's identity, he can fully consider him a reliable ally in the future......
An alliance that uses Americans against Americans!
"Working closely with Lieutenant Colonel Moyol, who knows a lot of ......secrets that we have simply kept in the dark," President Fenton said at once, "Let Lieutenant Colonel Moyol be involved in the plan." Mr. Nash, I grant you special powers to arrest Minister Yes when you see fit, and all suspicious officials as you see fit. ”
Nash finally waited for the immense power he had been waiting for for countless days...... And the strange thing is that at this moment, it is not President Fenton who he wants to thank, but Lieutenant Colonel Moyol, who he has regarded as his lucky star.
"And what about his family?" Nash asked cautiously.
The murderous intent flashed through Fenton's eyes: "Don't let them leave London for half a step, keep a close eye on their every move, and the Paris you mentioned, you must severely reprimand him, and then drive him out of England, and never allow him to set foot on British soil!" ”
"But I'd suggest you keep him." Nash was quick to offer a different view: "He was able to lead us to bust more ambitious elements, and it was without his own knowledge." ”
Fenton wasn't too reluctant, knowing that a man was a very dangerous person, but for some special reason he couldn't give him the punishment he deserved, which didn't quite look like what a president should do. But on the other hand, he had to admit that Nash was right.
He nodded reluctantly: "Then do as you say, but I must warn you to keep an eye on this American for me every step of the way." ”
"Mr. President, on this point I can make a solemn promise to you with my honor!" (To be continued......)
