It was dark, all the cars had their lights out, the battle was not fierce, and there were not many flashes of rifle fire, but Li Hong still saw the glittering golden light at a glance, and in the shortest possible time, he determined what he was transporting. No wonder Du Yuming personally told him so many times...... The bombed car seems to be a Buddha statue, and it is not small, so how many good things does the entire convoy, a total of twenty-four cars, have?

In an instant, Li Hong actually had the intention of throwing everything aside, grabbing the car and running as soon as he could, running as far as he could, and leaving this war-torn country forever. But fortunately, years of battlefield baptism made his mind extremely firm, and his greed was suppressed in a flash.

"Bang!"

stepped forward to pick up the Buddha's hand and threw it directly into the carriage.

"What do you see? Haven't seen a Buddha statue yet? Seeing that a soldier next to him had been staring at his movements, Li Hong's face turned cold and he reprimanded.

"Company commander, this is Huang, Huang ......"

"Huang you M!" Li Hong slapped the soldier's head, "I don't know how to look forward in the war, do you want to die?" Stay for a while and charge you at the front, dare to take a slow step, Lao Tzu will collapse you. ”

“…… Be. ”

……

The attack did not last long, because there had been many attacks along the way, and such attacks were relatively common in the "Chinese occupation zone", so Li Hong and others dealt with them appropriately. Not only did there be no major losses, but they also easily wiped out the guerrillas who had dealt a blow to the Vietnamese. However, because of the need to vent their feelings, this hapless Vietnamese guerrilla force did not leave a single survivor.

And after this skirmish, the convoy continued on the road. Li Hong faithfully carried out his task, drove the convoy to the predetermined place on time, and delivered all the items to the person in charge who came to receive it. From the end of this mission, Li Hong continued to the last few years of his life. After the incident had basically been leaked, he mentioned it to his descendants. However, although he knew that he was transporting a batch of gold, he did not know how much he had transported...... The specific amount of this batch of gold was only known to four people at that time and in the future, these four people are: Lao Jiang, Qin Wei, Minister of Finance Yu Hongjun, and Shen Zui, the head of the military command Burma station. And where the gold comes from. Only three people knew it completely, and even Yu Hongjun only knew a rough idea.

……

"The young man is bold and motivated, but unfortunately this matter has to be kept secret, and he cannot be given a promotion. I'm really sorry for him. ”

A week after Li Hong and others arrived in Guangxi, the gold transported in several batches safely entered the Chongqing treasury. The total is more than sixty tons. Besides. There are also more than two hundred tons of silver. and $27 million in U.S. Treasury bonds. For China as a whole, this is an unspeakable amount of money. Before Lao Jiang got the news that this treasure was in the warehouse, he didn't even want to say much, he was just worried all day long, for fear that something would happen on the way. And after getting the exact news, his whole person seemed to have been relieved of a thousand pounds of burden. I feel like I have to talk to people who don't know the truth, and I think that the Japanese have been defeated.

"Chairman, just keep it in mind. Speaking of which, the kid is still young. Now he is already a major general. If you rise again, will it be difficult to arch the hat? Qin Wei sat casually in front of Lao Jiang and said with a smile.

"Hehe, Yu Nong's subordinates can gather so many elite soldiers and strong generals, and their vision is really good." Lao Jiang smiled, "But you help me tell him that I will not forget his contributions, and the country will not forget them...... When the limelight passes, it should be his credit, and it will never be a penny less. ”

"Then I'll thank you for your promotion first." Qin Wei arched his hand towards Lao Jiang and said with a smile.

"It should." Old Jiang smiled and sighed again, "By you, I think of Zhou Fohai and those people in Ding Mo Village again...... It's all the same people, why is the difference so big? Those people, when they have the opportunity, dare to swallow most of the property belonging to the state. But what about you? In the face of greater wealth, but unmoved...... This person is really incomparable. ”

"Hehe, chairman, don't praise me. I don't lack these, but it's not how high the ideological realm is. Therefore, if you want to praise you, praise them for being drunk. Qin Wei smiled: "Seriously, I really didn't expect this guy to be able to resist the temptation and hand over such a large amount of treasure...... I thought he was going to have to get by. ”

"The wind knows the strength of the grass, and the board knows the loyal ministers! At a young age, he was reused by Yunong, and he was valued by you, I think this drunken is still worth cultivating. Lao Jiang praised twice, and put away his smile again, "But this time the action is not trivial after all, have the Philippines and the Americans noticed it?" ”

"You can rest assured that they passed a few hands in succession, basically erasing all traces. And it is the local armed forces of the Philippines that really do it, which can be regarded as their own people. Now that these people have been wiped out, it is useless even if the United States and the Philippine government send another blow. Qin Wei smiled: "What's more, they are not sure whether this treasure has been lost at all, and even if it is confirmed, they must only think that the Japanese have taken it...... After all, at that time, the Japanese launched an attack on the Philippines from several directions, and they were afraid that the treasury would fall, so they were anxious to transport it away. But they didn't want to think about how likely it was that hundreds of thousands of people's troops were scattered on a small island and encountered their treasure team. Think that if you are familiar with the path, you can avoid it by knowing a few small paths? This kind of goods sent to my door is not right for my conscience if I don't take it. ”

"You...... Just know that Lu Dao said this kind of cool words. But that's fine. Lao Jiang was relieved, "The treasury of the entire Philippines...... Tsk, I didn't expect that someone from my Jiang would be a robber one day, hahaha! ”

"Chairman, it's not just the Philippine treasury." Qin Wei said with a smile, "Before the Japanese attacked, the Philippine treasury was 51 tons of gold, more than 170 tons of silver and the $27 million U.S. Treasury bonds. The rest are 'tribute' from Cambodia and Vietnam, as well as Laos and other countries. ”

"We saved them from French colonial rule, and they deserve a little payment." Lao Jiang snorted disdainfully, "A few tons of gold, dozens of tons of silver, what is this?" …… Sun Liren and Du Yuming have done a good job, and this is also to be commended. ”

"Chairman. I see you're getting worse. Qin Wei said with a smile.

"It's better to be bad. The worse a person is, the more people will be afraid. Old Jiang smiled, "I learned this from you, Chief Qin." ”

"Really? I'm so honored. ”

"Haha......ha

……

When Qin Wei left Lao Jiang's office with a smile, Lao Jiang still looked like he couldn't close his mouth. There is no way, although he has been the leader of the country for more than ten or twenty years, his leader is really poor compared to the great powers, and even some small countries are much richer than him. If nothing else, just look at this Filipino ...... Not to mention earning dozens of tons of gold and more than two hundred tons of silver at a time like this, Qin Wei gave him an undersea treasure at the beginning, that is, a few tons of gold and dozens of tons of silver. After fishing it out, wasn't he so happy that he almost couldn't find the north? What's more, gold and silver have been rising sharply in the past few years, and if this treasure is converted into dollars, it may now be worth one billion, which is one or two times more than the loans they asked the Yankees. How could he not be happy? And the most important thing is that the money is secret. Few people know about it. And those who know the Tao will definitely not leak secrets. So, this is a huge amount of money that can be left to him at his disposal...... His old Jiang relied on a cannon in one hand and the ocean in the other, and now he has a "special payment" worth almost one billion US dollars, how many times do you laugh well, then he is not a saint?

But then again. Dozens of tons of gold were given to Lao Jiang in vain, saying that Qin Wei was not distressed, which was fake. But he could get this money, but he couldn't handle it, so he could only watch Lao Jiang get rich...... Because it wasn't he who did it. It's drunk.

As mentioned earlier, the vast majority of this treasure comes from the Philippine treasury. Originally, after the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor and then the U.S. mainland, the Philippine government planned to quickly transport the money away and hide it, or simply deposit it in a U.S. bank, considering that the Philippines might be attacked. However, after that, the Japanese were silent for several months, and MacArthur and the US government patted their chests again and again and said that they would definitely be able to hold the Philippines, so the Philippine government put this matter on hold for the time being. As a result, it was not until the Japanese suddenly attacked and MacArthur's line collapsed almost at the touch of a button, that the Philippine government realized that something was wrong. But at this time, the Japanese came from all directions, not to mention the transfer of the treasury, and it was difficult for people to escape. What to do? But there is no way, and you have to find a way to get the money away. Because if the treasury is not transferred quickly, the money will remain in Manila, and it will still be in the pockets of the Japanese. Try to transport it out, at least there is a few chances to escape the black hands of the Japanese. As the chief general of the Philippines, MacArthur did not know where he heard the "gossip," nor did he want the Philippine treasury to fall into the hands of the Japanese, forcing the Philippine government to transfer the treasury. In this way, the matter was settled, and the plan was quickly formed. But neither the Philippine government nor MacArthur knew about it, and some people knew about it before they made the plan formalized.

Speaking of which, the Philippines is also unlucky. Originally, if Qin Wei had not intervened, their treasure team would have directly transported this gold and silver to the sea, but because they ran to the wrong place, they did not wait for the American submarine to respond, but they encountered the Japanese army, and then, in order to survive, the people of the treasure team handed over this huge wealth, which triggered a twenty-year international lawsuit between the two countries after the war. But such an eye-catching lawsuit happened to be known by Gu Changjun, who was "studying" the history of World War II and modern Chinese history. Writer Gu Da just mentioned it to Qin Wei in passing, but as a result, when he learned that the treasure team had successfully transported this treasure to the seaside, and then waited stupidly on the beach for a day and a night, Qin Wei was tempted...... According to what he said when he lobbied Lao Jiang:

"If you don't take it, you will be blamed!"

As a result, Lao Jiang couldn't resist the temptation and agreed. Then, Qin Wei arranged it through the overseas department of the military command, that is, the drunken Burma station, and after several changes, he found a place in the Philippines to divide the armed forces, and took advantage of the situation to "take" this treasure. And when the local armed forces had taken the treasure, another group of people took the opportunity to destroy them. However, because of the large quantity, this batch of treasures could not be shipped out of the Philippines for the time being, but was directly sunk into the sea. The water is not deep, only a few meters, but it is enough to hide from many people. Then, Qin Wei arranged for the rescue of the American army and gathered a large number of steamers, one of which happened to pass by nearby...... So, together with some of the American troops, this batch of treasures was sent to North Vietnam, to Du Yuming, and then, in the name of transporting military supplies, they were transferred back to China.

The whole process can be said to be unaware and unaware. However, although it was a joy to get such a large amount of treasure, Qin Wei was even happier about it: the gift from the Germans had arrived. (To be continued......)
