Chapter 177: Action (1) [Fifth Update]
"Hello, what business do you need to handle?", the girl was still smiling, without the slightest expression of impatience, and did not have the slightest disdain for him because of the little guy sitting opposite her, who was eleven, twelve, or thirteen. As one of the most accomplished receptionists at the Imperial Central Bank in Turnell City, she had heard a lot of gossip, one of which was about a child doing business.
The content of the story is probably that a certain branch received a child who was only a teenager one day, and the reception staff seemed a little impatient, and the tone and attitude were naturally a little biased. But no one thought that this child was actually the son of the branch president, and in the end, this matter was reflected to the president, and naturally the thunder was furious, and the entire branch was "bloodbathed" from top to bottom.
Almost the vast majority of bankers, especially those working at the Imperial Central Bank, have heard of this rumor, and it seems like it has really happened...... Yes, as if it had actually happened, this is a false rumor designed to improve the service attitude of the bank staff. The capitalists have tried almost every means to exploit their hired workers, even to fabricate rumours and admit semi-official attitudes, what else can't happen?
Savi heard the girl's voice, but his eyes were fixed on the clock on the wall of the bank, and as time ticked by, he waited, waiting for Durin to tell him what he needed to do.
The plan to rob the bank vault seems complicated, but it is actually a matter of a few words. Ever since he realized that it was impossible to rob the vault by storming, he changed his tough way to a smart one, and he wanted to take a million deposits from the bank vault civilly, and he didn't mind taking anything else with him. The key to the execution of the plan was Schubert, the escort, who had to pretend to be an escort from Ordo, and gave the items that exceeded the list as a necessary condition to enter the vault, and the manager took the initiative to open the elevator for them to enter the vault.
The plan was bold, and Doolin believed to have a high success rate. The reason is very simple, firstly, because the Imperial Central Bank in Turnaire City has not been robbed by any forces since the war, and even the escort vehicles have not been looted, which will breed an arrogant mentality among all the staff in the bank. Although this arrogance is also true in some ways, no one in Turnaire City or Canres would dare to take action against the Imperial Central Bank, and they cannot afford retaliation from the Empire's largest economy. Under the interference of this arrogant emotion, there will be laxity and slackness in many key places, such as the escort car that was supposed to be escorted in strict accordance with the regulations, but because of their arrogance and arrogance, they were robbed by Durin. Then the staff of the bank naturally had this kind of arrogance, and they thought that no one would dare to hit their attention, which left plenty of possibilities for Durin's plan.
The second point is that the communication of information is not smooth, it is said that telephone and telegraph services have begun to rise in the heart of the empire, but there is no civil telegraph in the border town of Turner, which gives Durin enough time to pretend to be a member of the Orodore Bank. The use of information asymmetry can completely convince these people that Durin is Ordo's staff. Coupled with Schubert's cooperation and the paralyzing carelessness of arrogance, there is absolutely no problem in wanting to succeed in looting as long as nothing happens.
In fact, there is a third point, this group of staff who have long been accustomed to strictly implementing the standards set by the bank headquarters as their work habits, have long forgotten how to deal with emergencies flexibly, once an accident occurs, their first thought is not how to deal with things well, but to think about which rules and regulations are the most appropriate to deal with in the face of emergencies. The rigid and rigid work style made up for the last of Durin's shortcomings, which prompted him to be willing to venture into the underground vault with Dover and the others, desperately for the million dollar deposit and possibly more valuables.
In the last few seconds of Savi, the elevator slowly landed, and after a brief tremor, the elevator doors opened. Du Lin glanced at the sorting table, hiding the shock in his heart, and Du Buddha just glanced at it and withdrew his gaze. Their unconcerned appearance didn't alarm anyone, but no one could understand the shock in their hearts at this time.
It was a huge assembly line, connected by twenty-four pipes, glass pipes, and at the same time that each deposit fell from the pipe, the coins would fall through a screen, and then on a slope they would slide according to the size of the volume into the sorting tunnels, and finally pile up in a smaller glass tube. Whenever the accumulation of fifty coins is reached, the support hand under the tube will slowly sink because it cannot bear the weight, and then the fifty coins will be drawn into a groove, and the staff will roll a layer of brown paper and put aside.
The sorting of banknotes is relatively difficult, it is manual sorting, a total of four sorting workers, they wear one-piece clothes, there are no pockets or places to put things on the clothes, this is to prevent some people from hiding coins in order to satisfy greed. They divided the coins into six categories and sorted them onto different conveyor belts according to different types. The worker in the middle of the conveyor belt will put the flattened stacked and clumped together on the conveyor belt again. Not far behind, there was something like a boiler, about two meters long, and every two meters of transmission this thing would fall on the conveyor belt, and then burst into a burst of steam. By the time the conveyor belt was in operation again, the coins that might have been wrinkled had been steamed, ironed out, and placed neatly in a box after the final neat yards of a funnel-shaped restraint.
There is a counting machine at the bottom of the box, and every hundred sheets are automatically bandaged and sorted into a larger box, where the coins are stacked neatly. The money ends up in a vault and piles up. At the end of the month, if the bank had more than a million in cash, the excess was packed into boxes and sent to Ordo's branch, where it was transported to the gold vault in the southwestern part of the empire.
With so many coins tumbling in the small border town of Turnaire alone, one can imagine what a horrible picture it is in the sorting places of the big cities and even the capital.
Du Lin had a faint urge in his heart, if the act of robbing the vault of the Central Bank of the Tenel Empire was just a measure, then at this moment, he had a desire to go to the treasury of the Imperial Central Bank headquarters in the capital.
No one can be indifferent to a mountain of money, not even God.
He gathered his mind and continued to follow the manager towards the vault, which was actually a huge cage, with neatly stacked cash shining with a charming luster under the light of several searchlights. To Durin's surprise, he also saw gold bricks, which were the thickness of his calf and more than a foot long, and there were ten of them, piled up in a triangle.
In fact, Dulin did not know that these gold bricks were transported while he was in prison. The victory over the Federation in the Great Patriotic War was not a complete victory, but it was finally a solution to the external trouble. The external troubles were solved, but the internal troubles were still problems, and some revolutionary armies that had re-emerged began to appear in people's eyes and actively carried out activities. Instead of trying to shake the country in a destructive way, as they did before, they have learned from the experience of the last defeat and adopted a more civilized way to form a political campaign with a party as the core. This was more worrying to the upper echelons of the Empire than mere sabotage, especially the old party's hatred.
If the new party is a successful "revolutionary army" that overthrew the rule of the old party and the emperor and holds the power of the current empire, then these revolutionary armies are the representatives of defeat, they also want to overthrow the rule of the nobles and the emperor, but they choose the wrong means and are ruthlessly suppressed. In the face of the resurgence of the revolutionary army, the top of the empire held two attitudes, the first was the attitude from the old party, which suppressed the revolutionary army at all costs.
There is also an attitude that comes from the New Party, which does not demand the suppression of the revolutionary army, but also does not want to support the revolutionary army, but simply ignores it and treats it as invisible. In fact, for Mags, the re-emergence of the revolutionary army is a good thing for the new party, because it will attract the firepower of the old party, but he also knows very clearly that it is enough for the empire to have both the old and the new parties, and it is definitely not a good thing to have another revolutionary army.
Therefore, Maggs hoped to limit the problem of the revolutionary army to a controllable range, not to allow the old party to suppress it by violent means, but also to give the revolutionary army too much room for development. This is why this batch of gold exists, and at the critical time, this batch of gold will be used as the main means to win over and buy the top brass of the revolutionary army, and other conditions will be attached, and there is nothing more attractive than gold. And in the event of a fight, this gold can also be used as a bargaining chip to pacify civilians in the war-torn area and rebuild funds, after all, one gram of gold is equal to sixty star dollars, and here is half a ton!
The manager walked over to the large iron cage and opened the iron door, and Durin and the others walked in with two small carts, and they opened a box in front of the manager, and took out four black velvet bags with red bands.
After checking it, the four bags were placed in the personal vault at the edge of the cage, and after everything was done, the manager took out a checklist, checked a few boxes and filled in a few items for Durin to sign, as soon as he signed his task was completed, he had to return to the upper level.
At this time, Savi, who was on the upper floor, suddenly showed a sunny smile, "Sister, can you pour me some water to drink?"
