Chapter 169: Robbery
Kent was a very popular name, just as he did not have a prominent surname, and after the New Party came to power, his good days came, because of his special habits and connections with the nobles who had previously driven for the nobility, and became a cashier of the Central Bank of the Reich, as well as a chauffeur. The city of Turnair is not large, and there is only one bank in the entire city, which is the Central Bank of the Empire. It stands to reason that the Imperial Central Bank, which is the only one seedling, does not need any capital escort, but in fact, it needs to escort a batch of savings money to the state bank every month, as well as some valuables that need to be placed in the state bank.
It was a matter of routine, and the reserves of the Imperial Central Bank of Turnair City were capped at one million, and any excess money, as well as valuables declared by distinguished guests to be placed in the state bank, would be transported to Ordor for storage and transshipment on this day. The reason why Kent was able to become the driver of the mortgage car was that he had rich emergency experience, and secondly, because he drove the car steadily enough.
He went out at half past seven in the morning, as he had done every time he had worked, and drove his newly purchased bicycle through three streets before pushing it into the back door of the Imperial Central Bank. He then donned heavy body armor—several layers of canvas and filled with fine sand, which was heavy but effective against pistol bullets and long-range rifle bullets.
Even though I've been doing this job for seven years and haven't had a single accident, rules and regulations are rules and regulations, and they don't change because of other factors. After putting on the body armor, he put on fireproof gloves and a helmet, which were specially made to protect the driver's safety. There is no bulletproof glass in this world, so the front of the escort car is two layers of barbed wire, with a layer of glass sandwiched in the middle, in case of some special situation, the robber is very likely to attack and kill the driver from the front, thus forcing the escort car to stop.
He slipped a pistol into a holster, opened the heavy door, sat in the driver's seat, ignited the ignition, and reversed the escort truck onto the loading platform inside the bank. He dropped all the door locks and safety locks in the cab, pushed hard to make sure there were no hidden dangers, and then smoked a cigarette and hummed a little song.
Everyone has their own work, and no one can do anyone else's work for others, this is a problem of the system, and only by strictly abiding by the system can we survive in the Central Bank of the Reich.
Two heavily armed escorts entered the compartment of the van first, and then the staff of the bank pushed two carts to load a box of money and a box of valuables into the escort car, and after the main person in charge of the escort signed and confirmed, the escort car carrying four armed men and a driver drove out of the unloading area at the back door of the Imperial Central Bank, and headed along the road in the direction of Ordo.
The speed of the car is not fast, only about 40 kilometers per hour, and the heavy body makes it difficult to increase the speed, and secondly, it is also to avoid the phenomenon of overturning in special circumstances during high-speed driving. As before, there was not the slightest wave, and there were not even a few people who paid attention to the car, and the car entered the suburbs after more than 30 minutes of travel. Entering the suburbs, there was a knocking sound in the cabin, which signaled Kent to speed up, and Kent responded by pressing the power pedal deeply.
The speed of the car was much faster, and there was a slight bump, but the armed men in the carriage quieted down. It is a short road from Turnier to Ordo, and at the current speed of about fifty or sixty kilometers per hour, it takes two days to reach Ordo. During this long, boring time, gambling may be the only pastime besides sleeping. After someone asked the bank if they could add some other entertainment and it was dismissed, this was the only way they could spend their time.
Taking off their heavy body armor and helmets, they sat cross-legged in the warm compartment in their underwear, took out a pair of pokers from a small box, opened some food bags and put them where they could reach them, and began to play the game as usual. Kent, who was driving in the cab, also took off his helmet and unbuttoned his body armor, and he was almost out of breath from this outfit. He took out a roasted dried beef cube from a paper bag in his pocket and stuffed it into his mouth, humming the most popular song happily, seemingly unconcerned about the speeding of the escort car and his own irregular behavior.
"When they leave the city, they get a noticeable increase in speed, which is one of their fatal mistakes!"
Lying lurking in the wilderness on both sides of the road, he remembered what Doolin had told him before his action, which was not discovered by Doolin himself, but by a "madman" in the prison, a felon, who was sentenced to 730 years in prison for brutally killing four innocent passers-by. According to himself, he killed not passers-by, but a group of drug dealers who tried to take his money but did not intend to give him the "purple elves". The purple elf is another name for narcotics for some people, and those who are addicted to it like this name very much and think it is very vivid.
This guy had dealt with Doolin, and he asked Dolin for a few cigarettes, and he exchanged this information for it. He himself said that he had observed these escort vehicles more than once, with the aim of running away after making a fortune, but unfortunately he was arrested before he could implement it. He hoped that after Durin was able to accomplish this feat, he would give him some personal accounts and make him feel better in prison.
The escort car soon ran into some minor troubles that were not trouble, and it was normal for the road to become more rubble. The winds in the wilderness outside the city are very strong and often blow some dirt and stones onto the road. However, when the escort vehicle is driving at high speed, these small troubles are tireless. The bumpy escort cart made some of the water-storing vessels jump up, making a mess in the carriage. The person in charge opened the small window between the carriage and the cab, which was almost completely sealed for communication, and asked Kent to put the car aside. Not only do they need to clean up some spilled drinking water and food, but they also need to go to the toilet.
"The second fatal mistake is that the designer who designed the escort car did not consider planning a place for excretion in the escort car!"
