Chapter 617: Returning with a full load, finally leaving France

The Banque de France, located in the 1st arrondissement of Paris, is the central bank of France, established on January 18, 1800 by Napoleon Bonaparte, the first consul at the time, monopolized the national currency issuance power in France in 1848, and completed the transition to a modern central bank in the following 30 years.

It is no exaggeration to say that whoever controls the Banque de France controls the economic lifeblood of France.

Shortly after the bank opened today, dozens of military trucks stopped in front of the main entrance of the bank, and a tall, handsome British major jumped out of the first truck and strode towards the bank alone.

Needless to say, this product is Huang Shaohong, since the moment he decided to take all the Chinese workers with him, he had already planned to do something to the Banque de France.

With enough money to settle these Chinese workers, he can also lay his own foundation in this world in advance.

According to the information written down by Huang Shaohong before entering the mission world, at the end of 1913, Britain, France, the United States, Germany, and Russia accounted for two-thirds of the world's gold stock.

One can imagine how abundant France's gold reserves are, and the Bank of France is the place where France uses to reserve gold and foreign exchange.

As soon as Huang Shaohong entered the main entrance of the Banque de France, he was attracted by the luxurious, majestic and rococo art deco-style decoration in the hall.

As far as the eye can see, the walls of the rectangular hall are covered with gold ornaments, separated by continuous arched windows, the corners are surrounded by gently curved surfaces, and the ceiling is also made of curved surfaces, and the intricate carvings conceal the weight and strength of the columns.

Let people be in the hall, not only can experience the solemnity, majestic, but also give people an interesting artistic feeling.

Dozens of military trucks were parked at the door of the bank, and it was impossible not to attract the attention of the bank staff, so Huang Shaohong raised his head and didn't take a few looks, when a staff member in a dark suit greeted him with a warm smile on his face.

"Sir, I am the hall manager of the Banque de France, is there anything I can do to help you?"

This is for the hall manager to see Huang Shaohong wearing a British military uniform, and his mouth is an authentic London accent.

Huang Shaohong also opened his mouth to introduce himself: "I am Major Tom Cruise of the British Expeditionary Force and the Second Infantry Division, I have something very important to meet the person in charge of your bank, please introduce me!" ”

The emir paused slightly, then smiled again, "Can you ask what you are looking for our manager?" ”

Huang Shaohong's face suddenly sank: "Military secrets, nothing to say!" ”

He was already the emperor of several worlds, if he became serious, he had a supreme majesty exuding from his body, and when his face was straightened, the emir suddenly felt that his breathing was not smooth.

As the hall manager of the Banque de France, the emir has received countless royal families and dignitaries from various countries for more than ten years, and he feels that even King Edward VII of England does not have the majesty in front of him.

If you want to say something similar, it was only about eleven years ago that the big man from the Far East, called Li Zhongtang, had a trace of such majesty, but it was still much worse than this British major.

Emir was thinking in his heart, when he suddenly found that the person in front of him had a pair of black pupils, which were as charming as black gems and as deep as an abyss, which made him unconsciously put his eyes into them.

Huang Shaohong and Emir looked at each other for a long time, and suddenly stepped forward and whispered: "Take me to see your governor immediately!" ”

The emir bowed slightly, and in a humble tone he whispered, "Obey my master!" ”

Following the emir, Huang Shaohong met with the current president of the Banque de France Moreau in the famous 'private conference room' of the Banque de France.

Huang Shaohong went straight to the point and said the words he had thought of directly to the president in front of him:

"Governor Moreau, the Germans have once again launched an assault on the Marne defense line, and now the battle situation is tight, and the Germans may break through the defense line and attack Paris at any time, I have been ordered to immediately transfer the gold from your bank's reserves to London, please open the vault immediately!"

"What?"

President Morrow was stunned for a moment, and then immediately said solemnly: "I need to confirm with the board of directors, otherwise I will not let any of the gold bricks leave the bank!" ”

Huang Shaohong rolled his eyelids, it seemed that he had thought in vain, and he had to rely on hypnosis!

Immediately use the 'Soul Shifting Dafa 20.' again and turn this Mr. Moreau into his faithful servant!

A minute later, Huang Shaohong took a cigar from Mo Luo's hand, lit it, took a puff, and said, "It's time to open the bank vault!" ”

Moreau explained: "The gold reserve is in the vault on the eighth floor of the basement, and it takes two keys to open the vault, one of which I have, and the other in the hands of the chairman, Mr. Crewed!" ”

Huang Shaohong was not surprised by Moreau's statement, although it was 1917, but after all, it was the Bank of France, and it was definitely impossible for the treasury to have no defensive means.

He said directly: "Then call your chairman, I'm telling him the story!" ”

Mo Luo hurriedly said: "The chairman is usually not in the bank, I will call him now and trick him over!" ”

Huang Shaohong looked at the wall clock on the wall: "Is it possible to blow up the wall?" ”

“......”

Huang Shaohong's suggestion was still not implemented, because if the vaults of the Bank of France were to be blown up, it was estimated that the whole of Paris would be alarmed.

Half an hour later, 'Croud', the current chairman of the Banque de France, who received a call from Moreau, hurried over.

At this time, dozens of military trucks had already driven to the back door of the bank under the guidance of the hall manager, Emir, so the chairman did not notice anything unusual.

However, as soon as Klude entered the bank hall, he was stunned, and saw no less than 200 heavily armed soldiers wearing British military uniforms standing in the hall.

But strangely, these soldiers were not blonde white men, they were all tall and muscular Orientals.

Moreau walked towards him with a major officer of the British army, and Claude hurriedly stepped forward and asked:

"Morrow, what's going on?"

Moreau made a gesture of please: "Let this Major Tom Cruise explain to you!" ”

Huang Shaohong stretched out his hand and shook Klaude's hand, and then he was about to take out his words, but when the words came to his lips, he thought about it, and it was estimated that he would definitely not believe it, and in the end he still had to rely on hypnosis.

Immediately, the corners of his mouth hooked, and he said in English:

"That's right, 'Jack' ate 'Tom' and killed 'Popeye', and 'Conan' who went to solve the case also died in his hands, and then this thing was even more frustrated to salute 'robot cat' and insult 'Optimus Prime'!"

"In the end, this 'Jack' actually colluded with the 'Namek' and joined forces with 'Thanos', planning to invade the earth to find the 'Seven Dragon Balls', and then summon the 'Divine Dragon' to realize its great wish to treat nail fungus, and resolutely not to infect the two of them!"

Huang Shaohong clenched Crude's hand with a serious face: "Mr. Chairman, I am ordered to immediately transfer the gold stored by your bank, please open the vault immediately and let us in to rob it...... No, it's the transfer of reserve gold! ”

Claude felt that his English level was very poor at this time, and he didn't understand any of the names of the people said by the other party, so he was slightly stunned: "Who is Jack.....?" ”

"A mouse!"

Huang Shaohong didn't need to say anything more, his eyes like stars made Crude fall into confusion, and a minute later, another person was added to his slave list.

Fifteen minutes later, the vault on the eighth basement floor was opened, and rows of neatly stacked gold bricks appeared in front of everyone, and the moment the vault lights were turned on, the entire vault shone with golden light.

Crude introduced: "Master, the gold bricks stored here, each weighing about 12 kilograms, are all more than 99.9% pure! ”

Huang Shaohong looked back at his group of subordinates who had never seen the world, laughed, and waved his hand:

"Don't be so unproductive, don't be good, hurry up and move it for Lao Tzu!"

Under the command of President Mo Luo, they neatly stacked the gold bricks on the metal carts specially used to transport the gold bricks inside the bank.

Then through the special elevator, go up to the first floor of the bank, push out from the back door, and start loading.

Huang Shaohong didn't plan to get out much, the gold thing was too heavy, according to the more than 9,000 Chinese workers under his command, each carrying 50 catties of gold, this time it was barely possible to get 250 tons of gold out.

Did he say that France had so many gold reserves during the First World War? Huang Shaohong can tell you responsibly:

"Knud, leave this question to you....."

Chairman Crewe introduced to Huang Shaohong on the side that most of the wealth accumulated in France over the centuries is here, and the total amount of gold exceeds 2,000 tons!

Huang Shaohong asked more than 200 Chinese workers to carry it first, and 250 tons of gold would have to be like this for a while, and he asked Crude and Morrow to open the vault of foreign exchange reserves, and pick the largest denomination of old pound sterling banknotes and fill ten large cowhide boxes for people to take away.

The British pound during the First World War was still the 'white pound', with a seated statue of the goddess Britannia, as well as denominations and descriptions, with a maximum denomination of 1,000 pounds.

Huang Shaohong's ten large leather boxes were filled with 1,000 pound bills, and the ten boxes added up to no less than 100 million pounds.

The value of the pound in this period was extremely high, and Huang Shaohong looked at the data, according to the British Consumer Price Index (CPI), one pound in 1917 was equivalent to 50.78 pounds in 2015.

That is to say, the value of Huang Shaohong's ten suitcases of pounds is equivalent to five billion pounds in later generations.

However, the First World War is not over yet, and countries have frozen gold circulation, causing the gold standard to collapse and the value of the pound to fall.

But as long as Huang Shaohong waits until the end of the war and then releases these old pound notes, he will immediately become one of the richest people of this generation.

Of course, he didn't look at the money, and he took the ten suitcases of pounds, just considering that when he used the money, he didn't have to go to the trouble to exchange it for gold, just for convenience.

After the Chinese workers saw the gold, the enthusiasm and potential that burst out were unimaginable, and about 250 tons of gold were loaded into the truck in less than an hour under the sweaty labor of 200 Chinese workers.

Dozens of military trucks were paved with two layers of gold bricks at the bottom of their bodies, which could not be seen from the outside, Huang Shaohong asked people to carry ten large boxes of cowhides, and waved his hand at the group of Chinese workers:

"Get in the car and let's go!"

After Huang Shaohong boarded the car and sat in the co-pilot, he waved his hand at the three bank executives of Klude, Moreau, and Emir, and then directly asked someone to drive!

In this operation, Huang Shaohong hypnotized the entire bank staff with the 'Soul Shifting Dafa 2.0', and under the hint in his heart, the hypnotic effect would be automatically lifted after three days.

And these people will forget everything about Major Tom Cruise and the two hundred Chinese workers.

In this era without surveillance, Huang Shaohong showed such a method, which is destined to make this robbery of the Bank of France the biggest mystery in history!

Huang Shaohong looked at his watch as the convoy headed southeast from the 1st arrondissement of Paris to the 12th arrondissement, and the train to Marseille was about to depart in an hour's time, and they had to rush back to load the gold immediately.

Otherwise, although he hypnotized the stationmaster and several important people at the Lyon station in Paris, the number of trains and passenger traffic at the Lyon station is also very large, and if the departure is delayed, it is easy to cause trouble.

If the gold matter is exposed, I think that the French government will be desperate to play with him, but I am not afraid, and these Chinese workers may not have a chance to return to China.

The car sped through the streets of Paris, honking its horn to drive away pedestrians, and soon it was onto the road on the west bank of the Seine, speeding southeast.

Huang Shaohong saw Notre Dame Cathedral on the other side of the Seine River when he saw Notre Dame Cathedral on the other side of the river, and his heart moved, should he do it and snatch the 'crown of thorns' in this world and use it first!

After thinking about it for a while, Huang Shaohong gave up this idea, the crown of thorns is here, if it is really useful, you can come and get it whenever you want, or don't make any extraneous branches first, first take more than 9,000 Chinese workers, and leave France safely.

If you want to say that things are coincidental, sometimes the more you rush the more you encounter things.

The convoy was about to cross the bridge over the Seine, and was about to be in sight with the station of Lyon, when five military trucks came from the opposite side, and as soon as the two convoys met, the intersection was blocked, and no one could cross.

Huang Shaohong looked back, his fleet of dozens of cars was too long, and besides, there were pedestrians on the road, and it was too troublesome to reverse, so he immediately stretched his hand out of the window and made a gesture for the other party to reverse.

But what he didn't expect was that not only did the other party not reverse, but on the opposite side of the military truck, a French officer directly opened the door and got out of the car, striding towards this side.

When the other party saw the British military uniform on Huang Shaohong's body, he couldn't help but look a little unpleasant, and shouted loudly in half-baked English: "British, hurry up and go back, we have to go to the front line of the Marne, we have an important military mission!" ”

Huang Shaohong said with a smile: "Coincidentally, we also have an important military mission, and our convoy is too long, so it is inconvenient to turn around, so please step back a little, give up a position in the body, and let us get on the bridge!" ”

"Phew, the main force on the Marne front line is all our French, you British are only 100,000 soldiers, and you have an important mission!"

The French officer didn't know what was going on, and seemed to be a little dissatisfied with the British, and immediately walked behind after he finished speaking: "I want to see what you are pulling in the car, and you dare to say something unashamed about what important military tasks!" ”

He didn't wait for Huang Shaohong to stop him, took two steps, lifted the canvas on Huang Shaohong's truck body, and looked inside.

This corner was opened, and the sunlight shone through the gap, and the carriage suddenly shone with golden light.

The French officer only felt that the golden light was dazzling, and before he could react to what was going on, Huang Shaohong held the revolver in his hand, stretched out from the car window, and raised his hand to the head of the cargo is a shot.

With a 'bang', the French officer was suddenly shot in the head by him, the peach blossoms bloomed, and the surrounding streets were suddenly chaotic.

In the military vehicle opposite, many French soldiers got out of the car one after another, ready to start a war, Huang Shaohong opened the door and got out of the car, stretched his hand behind him, and immediately handed over a Maxim machine gun with a bullet chain pressed in the car body.

Huang Shaohong took it with both hands, and the muzzle of the gun was aimed at the French military vehicle on the opposite side and directly pulled the trigger.

The French soldiers who got out of the car fell one by one before they could fire back, and all of them were shot and died.

Huang Shaohong waited for him to get out of the intersection, and then he took a few grenades from the hands of the Chinese workers and threw them one by one, blowing up the five military vehicles into scrap metal.

"Made, don't be ashamed!"

After Huang Shaohong got into the car, he scolded and instructed the driver: "Go to the bridge and cross the river!" ”

The small episode did not delay too much, and the convoy finally arrived at Paris Lyon station in time, and under the cover of the station master, more than 9,000 Chinese workers quickly carried the gold bricks on the truck to the truck to Marseille.

Half an hour later, the train departed on the hour, a distance of more than 700 kilometers, and arrived in Marseille in the afternoon of the next day.

Huang Shaohong repeated his old tricks, and after controlling the station master, he got more than a dozen trucks on the dock to transport gold bricks, and after spending money to rent an ocean-going freighter, he sailed out of the dock at night.

The Chinese workers finally took a successful step on the slow journey home.
