"According to the preliminary inventory from the front, the total amount of gold seized in Malaya should be about 550 tons, of which only 39 tons belong to the gold reserves of their central bank, and the rest are the families of various sultans, royal families and nobles......"

"Oh, these Sultans are so rich, there are 500 tons of gold in such a small place, how did these guys loot it? I remember there aren't many gold mines in Malaysia......" Boon Tak Si was a little stunned.

"Mr. Wen, this is what they have accumulated for thousands of years, and besides, Malaya was not short of gold in ancient times. Ancient Indians called the Malay Peninsula the Golden Peninsula, and on the world map of Ptolema, the Malay Peninsula was also called the Golden Peninsula, and the Strait of Malacca was called the Ivory Bay. In the Malayan Peninsula from the 3rd century BC onwards, Indians established states here such as Kada, Langyasu, and Ancient Johor. Relying on its geographical advantages, they obtained large quantities of gold and silver through entrepot trade. After so many years of accumulation, it is not surprising that there is such a amount. At that time, in order to stabilize the local order, the British cooperated with the local sultan and other upper echelons, and did not slaughter their fat sheep, so they still retained most of the assets......"

Liu Yang smiled and said, "However, it's ours now." ”

Wen Desi nodded, and also smiled: "Well, then according to the old rules, all those gold and silver products must be three-dimensional modeling and archiving." The best cultural relics and works of art are handed over to the National Museum, then to the local museum, and again to be auctioned off to the private sector. ”

He picked up a handful of crude gold cups, which were clearly a product of the 20th century and said, "Like this, which has no value, it is remelted and made into our standard gold and silver ingots." In the future, the space industry will need a lot of gold and silver, and I hope that more of it will be better. ”

Moon's passion for collecting precious metals was not just for the sake of financial order and economic stability, he valued these things, the value of wealth was only one of them, and the most important thing was their industrial value. For example, gold, a metal that plays an important role in the aerospace field due to its corrosion resistance, heat resistance, excellent thermal and electrical conductivity, and unique chemical properties. Gold is widely used in the aerospace industry. From the manufacture of spacecraft and launch vehicles to system control, they are inseparable from information, measurement, remote sensing, positioning, computers, photography, instruments and other equipment, and thousands of electronic components, instruments, and special materials are inseparable from gold. Silver and platinum group metals are also of similar nature and are very important industrial raw materials.

According to Wen Desi's memory, in the 23rd century he traveled through, at that time, an ordinary spaceship would use hundreds of kilograms of gold for various equipment. There is no way, thousands of electronic components, meters, and special materials are inseparable from gold. The military is even more, and a space frigate costs more than two tons of gold. It's like China's Tiangong-1 now, which consumes more than a dozen tons of gold and dozens of tons of silver.

And there are not many such things as gold in the universe, and even if he can go to an alien planet to mine, it is much more troublesome than on the earth, so he is so keen to collect precious metals such as gold, silver, and platinum group metals.

It's all for the sake of the sea of stars in the future, and now as long as he looks at those gold stocks, Wen Deji will automatically convert them into how many spaceships and how many space warships in his mind...... In addition, these precious metals are not only useful in the aerospace industry, but also in the places where they are needed on the earth, so it can be said that there are not too many of them.

At this time, Liu Yang came over and said: "Mr. Wen, according to the information I have obtained, the Central Bank of Australia has 823 tons of gold reserves, and the Central Bank of New Zealand has 252 tons of gold reserves, but they are ready to send this gold to the United States, you have to keep an eye on it......

"Hmph, if you want to run, how can it be so easy? I've already asked people to block the sea and air passages between Australia and New Zealand, and not a single fly is allowed to leave!" said Wen Deji viciously. Yankees want Lao Tzu's gold, but it's not that easy!

Yes, the Yankees are indeed ready to play like this, and the aid they give to Australia and New Zealand is not free. Just kidding, my rice is not a good church, how can I do a loss-making business? Like the later generations of the original time and space, Ukraine exchanged 33 tons of gold for 300,000 boxes of instant food aid, many of which are still about to expire......

It doesn't matter if you don't have enough money, don't you have gold in your family? Just use gold as collateral. My rice is the hope of mankind, the pioneer of white skin, the beacon of freedom, and it will never black your golden drops!

It's just that this time China has long been guarding against this move, and as soon as the ultimatum is delivered, it has already blocked the sea and air passages between Australia and New Zealand.

Ships and aircraft coming out of or entering Australia and New Zealand will now be seized and inspected before they are released. As of yesterday, more than two dozen ships, eight aircraft, and three airships had been seized by the Chinese Navy and Air Force, and 35 tons of gold had been seized. Eighty percent of them are from the United States, and because of this, Sino-US relations have deteriorated again.

........................................................................

May 10, Republic 2782 (1941), off the Marquesas Islands.

The Marquesas Islands are located in the south-central Pacific Ocean and are a group of islands in northern Polynesia. It is composed of 6 large volcanic islands such as Nukushiva, Khivawa and Wapu and some small islands nearby, with a total land area of 1,274 square kilometers. It was originally part of French Polynesia, and this would have been the case many years later in the original plane.

However, the plane is a little different, the owner of this place, France, was beaten too badly by the Germans in World War I, and in order to pull the United States into the water, he packaged this place and the whole of French Polynesia to the United States in exchange for the United States to enter the war.

And the Americans didn't care about it after they got it, because the territory here is small and far enough away from the mainland of the United States, except for local products such as dried coconut, taro, breadfruit, coffee and vanilla, there are no resources worth mentioning. Conscientious capitalists naturally don't look down on this place, and there is a lot of territory waiting to be developed in Africa, so how can they be in the mood to come to these broken islands.

You said that this place was a famous tourist attraction in later generations? Well, that's true, but that was decades later, and now that the whole world is at war, how many people are willing to come and travel?

However, the U.S. military# side has some interest here, especially after the cold relations with China. This includes the Polynesian Islands, which happen to be on the main route from South America to China, and China's tentacles have made many consecutive in South America over the years, which makes the Yankees angry and hateful, so it is natural to pay attention to this place. What's more, China's [Eastern Pacific Special Zone] is not far from here, and if it is not built into a few military bases, how can the Yankees sleep?

Therefore, the United States has built airfields, supply ports, and military bases on these islands, and the Yankees have the money and resources, so they have built more than 20 military bases here in one go with full enthusiasm, basically just a slightly larger island. Within the United States, the Polynesian Islands have been referred to as "Hadrian at Sea" or "South Pacific Barrier".

Since tensions between China and Australia, New Zealand and Malaysia, the U.S. military presence here has increased. After China's ultimatum was announced, the United States significantly strengthened its military presence here. In order to prevent the Yankees from stirring up trouble, China has also strengthened its military presence in the Pacific region.

So the two sides are glaring at each other here, and of course, now that the two countries have not torn their faces, this situation is not even a confrontation. The Yankees won't really stand up for the kangaroos and China, and they are not surnamed Lei. Don't forget, the Sino-US Treaty of Commerce, Friendship and Mutual Assistance signed between China and the United States has not yet expired, and theoretically speaking, the two countries are still quasi-allies.

Of course, there is no relationship between countries, and the kind of thinking that tries to personify the country is very naïve. The basis of international relations is interests, and only interests are eternal. Don't say it's a "quasi-ally", if necessary, even a genuine ally can be sold as such. In the past, China and the United States were united because of common interests, but now they are also drifting apart because of their interests. This is also something that can't be helped, the earth is too small to accommodate two overlords.

The Mako Shark submarine.

This new submarine with the number 9527 is operating on the territory of the "quasi-ally" Idamai. Of course, there is not only one submarine that has come, six Great White Shark-class electric ocean-going attack submarines, ten bottlenose Dolphin-class ocean-going attack submarines, and four "Seawolf-class" nuclear-powered attack submarines, a total of 20 attack submarines are distributed throughout the waters of the Polynesian Islands.

The captain of the boat, Major Taiming, was chatting online at this time.

The screen in front of him shows the interface of the "Navy Special Line Network Exchange Platform", which is equivalent to a network chat room in the original space, space and later generations, but this is dedicated to the Navy, and the users in it also have to register with their real names, and if they register, they can't do it, and they have to take the information to the Naval Information Bureau and the Secret Bureau in person to open it, and a person can only have one ID, and he is not allowed to play with the vest.

Now this chat room is called "Dragon Diving Abyss", and the users are all officers and soldiers of the submarine force. The ID of Taiming on the intranet is called "Daming 75", and 75 refers to the year 2775 of the Republic (1934), that is, the year he graduated from the military academy. "Da Ming" is his nickname, of course, it is more called "Xiao Ming".

Mu Mu San 8888: "Xiao Ming, I heard that you went to the Great White Shark?"

Daming 75: Yes, it's only been more than a month since I took over, and the chair hasn't been hot.

Revelation 1935: "Brother Daming is really lucky, I can play with Great White Shark, and I am still on the sea lion." Brother, what are you doing now? I'm doing the daily liver boat in District 1-1, it's so boring......"

Well, "liver ship" is the black word of the Navy, which means daily patrols.

Butterfly Dance 11112: "Be careful! Don't ask each other about specific tasks, don't talk about yourself, don't want to go in for tea, right?"

Revelation 1935: Senior brother, I know, I won't say the specifics......

Daming 75: I'm also in the liver boat in the 3-2 area......

"Zone 1-1" and "Zone 3-2" are also the black words of the Navy. The former refers to the Bohai Sea, the Yellow Sea, the East China Sea, and the waters of Taiwan and the Ryukyus. The most heavily defended sea area in China is naturally nothing to do, and it is generally an area for rookie novices to level up, also known as the "novice village". And the latter "Zone 3-2" is the guide to the eastern part of the Pacific Ocean.

At this time, a line of prompts pops up on the interface: "Dragon's Takeoff" is online.

As soon as they saw this person online, everyone clamored.

What "Uncle Long is good!", "Uncle Long, you are here" and other greetings are constant.
