Chapter 670 Convergence
The news of Dahao's looting caused an irrepressible panic in the upper class of the concession, and the advance army blocked the road, and even the dock was blocked, and it was impossible to leave at all. At home, it's okay for the bodyguards in their own family to scare ordinary people, but in the face of bandits who can ransack the house of British Ambassador Henry, they are a joke, and they can't stop it at all.
Counting on sending troops? Counting on the police? That's obviously not right either. After all, the army and the police cannot stand on their doorstep.
My brain was spinning and I immediately thought of the bank. The bank's defenses are quite in place, although some items have to be registered and deposited, but it is better than nothing.
This will, no one cares about that cost anymore, compared to gold and silver jewelry, that cost is just a drizzle.
So, when the streets of the concession were still searching for robbers, small cars and trucks gathered at the bank.
The cars are loaded with what they think is the most valuable, and they will rest assured that they will deposit all the cash in the bank. When the rumors pass, I can return to China to be completely at ease.
The ambassador from the concession made Jonathan of the Ministry of Industry Bureau sweat on his steamed buns, and his home was not robbed, but it was the matter of the Ministry of Industry Bureau to solve the case. The police had all been dispatched, but in one night, nothing was found, not even the least suspicious person.
But they knew that there were at least a few dozen of them, and that their accomplices had apparently been arrested, which was a way of retaliation to force the police station to release them, although no one had been contacted so far, so it should be about the same.
Henry and a group of bigwigs stood in Henry's empty house, and they all understood that these people were not ordinary people, they must have been trained, and they were all masters.
Henry didn't really take his wife and bodyguard trapped together either, although he was ashamed and angry. But he's not stupid, first, this matter can't be spread outside, and second, his wife's underwear didn't take off, and the bodyguard's pants didn't take off, which is obviously an insult, not what his wife really has. After all, it's at your own home, and you're about to come back when you go out, by phone.
But his home was ransacked, and all the savings he had worked so hard for many years were all gone, how could he be willing?
So, the Ministry of Industry Bureau was naturally the place where he vented, and ordered him to solve the case quickly, after all, the stolen goods were still in the concession and had not left. Because the advance army is guarding, if people leave, it may be okay, but to say that the truck is driving out of the road is a fool's dream.
The night's search was fruitless, but it caused a storm in the city, so that those with small savings did not dare to put their things in their homes again, before the banks were open. The long queue lined up.
Jonathan was full of fire at this time, and was reprimanded by one big man after another. made him suddenly feel that he was actually a part-time worker, and he had to rely on others. But he didn't have any tricks at this time, except to pay close attention to the strange things on the streets, that is, to hurry up and find the whereabouts of the stolen goods.
When he heard that countless people rushed to the bank to store their valuables, not only did he not stop him, but he also suddenly remembered. There are still a lot of valuable goods at home. So, while he asked the police to maintain order near those banks, he asked his family to quickly sort out the valuable money and deposit it in Chase Bank.
At this point, the reputation is good. Ten banks, including the British-funded HSBC Bank, the British-funded Macquarie Bank, the British-funded Favorable Bank, the American-funded Citibank, the American-funded Chase Bank, the German-funded Deutsche Hua Bank, the French-funded CrΓ©dit Agricole CIB, the Dutch Dutch ABN AMRO, the Dutch Anda-Bank, and the Bhiskey Bank, were all so crowded that even the streets could not be passed, and they were all jammed with large and small vehicles.
At this moment, the vehicles of the concession can be said to have opened an auto show here, and there are all kinds of cars, one by one, next to each other, but there is no queue.
Those who don't know the road only see the car, and those who know the road will definitely be frightened. This long convoy contains astonishing riches, gold and silver, antique treasures, and some even curiosities that have just been dug up from the graves, all of which are of course Chinese.
Guo Weiquan was standing behind the window of a private house at this time, he quietly looked at the car dragon not far away, and was deeply impressed by Dong Ku's strategy.
The ransacking of the entire concession is bound to cause a huge commotion, and gunfights are inevitable, and once that happens, it is not easy to disguise or anything, and the scene is chaotic, and it is impossible to do everything at all, without making mistakes.
And Dong Ku gave a plan very much to love you, let them deposit themselves in the bank, and then collect them in a centralized manner, they only need to rob these banks with inventory, loot all the foreign banks here, and also piggyback on two larger Zhongnan Bank, China International Commercial Bank, and the Central Bank and other Chinese banks, so as to avoid arousing suspicion.
There are thirteen banks in total, and it is not easy to rob them, and they can't do it together, at least they must be staggered, so that it is convenient to arrange acting.
However, the robbery of the thirteen families is much easier and easier than the robbery of the thousands. After all, you don't have to go in and grab it openly, you can save the encounter of forcing a breakthrough.
At this time, Dong Ku had already received Guo Weiquan's report, and he said to Zuo Boyang with a smile: "When they are all saved, it should take a day, no one will save it tomorrow, and we will do it the day after tomorrow, will you go?" β
"I really haven't done it before, you can feel it, maybe the advance army will be disbanded in the future, and I can still rely on the robbery I learned to eat."
Zuo Boyang also smiled and joked, "It's you, why do I feel like you're going, you're a half-dead person and you're going to rob?" β
"Ha Lu Ha!"
Dong Ku Da said with a smile: "In Harbin, I robbed 60 tons of gold from Japan, so that my funds were full at once, and in Shanghai, I robbed Japan's Yokohama Zhengjin Bank and the Bank of Taiwan again, you don't know how to do it, these two banks have 170 tons of gold, as well as those Japanese belongings in the Hongkou Concession, I have made a good fortune." By the way, you also got it back by beating rabbits while robbing the Black Dragon Society. β
"Ha Lu Ha!"
Zuo Boyang also laughed heartily, "Captain, he also said that Xing Yuan is the leader of the bandits, and he learned the full set of bandits in the hands of Lao Zhang, I think, you are the real bandit leader, otherwise, how can you bring out the bandits' soldiers?" β
After Zuo Boyang finished speaking, the two of them laughed.
Dong Ku's calculation was not to kill people, it was not appropriate to kill people at this time, and he was sure that all the looted items would be secretly transported out, and through the tunnels prepared during the attack on Shanghai, the concession would be robbed, and he could only dig three feet into the concession and could not find a trace. And those passages, after carrying these supplies, blew up, bringing in water from the Suzhou Creek, flooding the tunnels and completely disappearing all traces......
Without evidence, this will be an unsolved case, and the clues left behind will of course make countries wary of each other and suspicious of each other, and it will be a matter of calculation whether to increase troops or not.
At this time, all the materials left in the No. 1 base were entering the Hongkou military camp in a steady stream, entering the storage site of the built good house, hitting those massive riches, and thoroughly sorting and storing those antique treasures. The labor of thousands of people is estimated to be carried in two days at most. And the base will also be blown up at the last moment, leaving two enough.
When Dong Ku's side was in full swing to prepare, those banks were crazy. Both floors of the underground vault have been fully opened, and the price of commissions has more than doubled, and it still can't stop the people who store things. It seems, just let it go.
This is especially true of cash, which in a short period of time is equivalent to the sum of a year. In particular, the stock of gold is even more amazing, when it gets dark, the Citibank in the United States has deposited nearly 20 tons of gold, so that their vaults have nearly 150 tons of gold, not counting those gold jewelry and utensils, conservative estimates, the bank does not count those gold treasures, the number of gold stocks is probably 200 tons.
The other banks are similar, with nearly 100 tons of gold, and the worst of them are more than 400 tons, which can be said to add up to more than 700 tons.
Of course, more of them are those antique treasures, those various calligraphy and paintings, and those precious ancient books and porcelain, all of which are in the category of storage.
During this period, the trolleys have entered the tunnels in the tunnel, and the directions are all those banks that are locked in good places, and several banks are not fully excavated, and their positions are close to the sewers, not far from the sewers.
In the tunnel, oxygen cylinders and blowers were working, and the soil was secretly transported out and poured into the river, making the river water unusually turbid, provoking the residents who relied on the river water to wash rice and vegetables, but they still didn't know what was going on.
No one paid attention to these, and for a day in the concession, in addition to being busy guarding the blocks where the village goods entered the bank and avoiding robbery, it was to continue to check suspicious locations and look for the stolen goods of the looted tycoon.
A large amount of self-tightening, a large number of valuables deposited in the bank, so that the bank also began to be nervous, they not only mobilized the army, but also let the guards into the underground vault, the nearest defense, to avoid mistakes.
But none of these can stop Dong Ku, Dong Ku's way of robbing the bank will never be something that these people can guard against now, it will be a god-like transport, it will be a robbery like a crossing of the Yin soldiers, and there will be no clues that do not want to be left on the scene.
In the busy opening of the concession, all walks of life also knew that Yu Ci, the supreme commander of the advance army, was unconscious and in critical condition.
Heilongjiang, Mongolia, Siberia, Central Asia, all the senior generals have been notified, and they all cooperate to show extreme anger, especially Heilongjiang, where Junzi set up countless cannons when he returned to train recruits, and practiced artillery bombardment in the face of Japanese positions along the line, and received the news of the attack on Dong Ku, he even ordered to rain shells around the clock, and in the loud roar, the soldiers covering the Huya and the Flying Tigers braved the wind and snow to enter Jilin and lurk towards their respective targets.
The fierce reaction of the advance army made the Japanese understand and nervously entered the defense, focusing on the area under shelling to prevent the enemy from really attacking the aircraft. Soviet Russia is also ready for a counteroffensive, and when the wind stops completely, they will launch a counterattack on all fronts. (To be continued......)
