Chapter 2073 Infiltration Plan 7 Everyone Has Their Own Thoughts
Chapter 2073 Infiltration Plan 7—Everyone has his or her own agenda
Taking out 30 billion US dollars at a time will not be a big deal for the current Heiyun Bank. Employees of Heiyun Group keep most of their savings in their own bank; they have absolute trust in their boss.
Coupled with the bank's own profits and capital reserves, it ranks among the best in the world!
Even so, President Yuan was shocked when he learned that his boss had agreed to lend money to the UK, which amounted to US$30 billion!
For one thing, Bao Zixuan never asked about specific affairs; maybe he was playing a big game of chess!
President Yuan said with great certainty: "Boss, the bank has sufficient fund reserves, but there are some troubles in transferring them to the UK; in addition, the fund reserves in Fujairah need to be mobilized!"
Most of the funds of Black Cloud Bank are placed in Fujairah. Of course, Hong Kong also has a lot of local reserves; but there are not many in the UK.
British people jump over the wall in a hurry and do some outrageous things; it's too late to regret!
Coupled with the recent events, Hong Kong companies have been aggressively acquiring British companies; they are basically supported by Black Cloud Bank, and the capital reserves in the UK are already seriously insufficient!
Bao Zixuan thought for a moment and said: "I agree to activate the capital reserve in Fujairah. Of course, Xiangjiang will also have to use part of it to cope with it; is there any problem with US$5 billion!"
President Yuan is not very clear about how much money the boss has. However, through the conversation just now, he has a new understanding of the financial resources of the richest man Bao!
The one-time mobilization of US$25 billion in cash from Fujairah shows that the reserves will only be larger.
Regarding Fujairah, don’t talk about Governor Yuan; the whole world knows what’s going on! It can’t even be called Bao Zixuan’s back garden, it’s clearly our own territory!
Unless foreign enemies come in, the funds are absolutely safe; putting most of the cash in Fujairah is a routine operation!
President Yuan said very seriously: "No problem; we can prepare it in three days!"
Bao Zixuan pays attention to efficiency when doing things, and President Yuan understands this very well; he must not be held back at critical moments!
Hearing this, Bao Shoufang was very pleased; choosing the right person is very important, otherwise it would not be as easy as today!
After hanging up the phone with President Yuan, Bao Zixuan called Zhang Zhan again; transporting 25 billion US dollars to the UK is really difficult!
The ground effect aircraft can complete the mission in one go, but it passes through too many countries along the way; if it encounters an unreasonable owner, it will be too late to regret it!
Anyone would be tempted by such a huge wealth! The British sent warships to receive them, but it was even more impossible.
The once empire on which the sun never set and the world's most powerful navy has long become history; now the British Navy has difficulty in dealing with the front lines of the Falklands and has no ability to carry out missions in the Middle East!
As for the British Air Force, there is no spare capacity; in the end, you have to rely on yourself!
Although it is not clear why the funds are transported to the UK, after so many years of contact, Zhang Zhan is absolutely convinced of his boss, and even worships him in his heart!
Without any hesitation, he immediately stated that as long as the British side agreed to open its airspace, the funds would be delivered within a week!
Bao Zixuan personally called Iron Lady and his attitude was very clear; if he wanted to get funds as soon as possible, he must open the airspace. A military transport plane is needed to transport the US dollars, so that the funds can be absolutely safe!
During the Cold War, against the background of the confrontation between the two major military camps in the East and the West, the United Kingdom relied on the support of the United States on the one hand; on the other hand, it actively strengthened its strategic nuclear deterrence capabilities and tried to use the European continent as a barrier to resist the military threat of the Soviet Union. However, due to the pessimistic domestic financial situation, the UK can only create a "minimum nuclear deterrence strategy", which can only ensure a limited nuclear counterattack after a nuclear attack on its homeland.
The British Empire, which has always been on the defensive, dare not open its airspace easily; who can guarantee that planes will not bomb.
What's more, transport planes from five different countries and six regions landed in London this time, which was very risky. Therefore, when the Iron Lady asked the Air Force Commander, the other party's attitude was very clear; foreign military transport aircraft will never be allowed to enter British airspace!
When encountering a problem, the first thing I do is not think about how to solve it; I just reject it clearly. This is the level of the commander of the British Empire Air Force, it is simply ridiculous! No wonder the war with Argentina has never been decided. The answer was finally found in the senior military generals!
The Iron Lady said very enthusiastically: "The other party only sent military transport planes here to transport funds to us; the front line is in urgent need, and the British Empire has reached a moment of life and death."
"Instead of thinking about how to solve the problem, you are worried about a significant increase in workload. If you still have this attitude, I suggest you resign as Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Air Force; give the opportunity to someone who is capable and responsible!"
As a prime minister, especially a woman, she rarely interferes with specific affairs of the military. As for personnel appointments and dismissals, the Iron Lady rarely participates. Today’s words are very strong and my attitude is very clear; you can imagine my mood!
Seeing the Iron Lady angry, the Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Air Force of the British Empire realized the seriousness of the problem!
In the past, they were more perfunctory with the Iron Lady; they believed that she was a milkmaid and didn't understand military affairs at all. Maintaining superficial respect is more about financial allocation, we just don’t want to make the relationship too tense!
Unexpectedly, he was asked to resign directly today. You must know that this is a wartime situation; the resignation of the Air Force Commander is not insignificant.
The Falkland Islands frontline is basically supported by the navy, and the ground combat is also carried out by the army; the air force has little room to play. You can't use strategic bombers to attack the Argentine mainland, then the situation will only get worse!
Without much room to play, the military budget will naturally be worse; this is also the reason why the Air Force Commander is dissatisfied!
During the Cold War, the military industry developed very rapidly, and it was not so easy to catch up if it fell behind a little! The Air Force Commander was also very angry because he had applied to the Iron Lady for additional funding many times but was not approved; otherwise he would never be so perfunctory!
The Air Force Commander said with a serious expression: "Prime Minister, I am not being perfunctory, but there are not many fighter jets that can take off and fight at present!"
"In recent years, military spending has been tilted towards the navy. The Air Force has not added new fighter jets, and even maintenance and basic training are seriously insufficient!"
"At present, there are no more than 80 aircraft that can take off and fight at any time in the entire British mainland. We must also guard against threats from the Soviet Union and other countries."
"It is difficult to achieve all-round surveillance when transport planes come here. Please understand, Prime Minister!"
The Iron Lady did not pay too much attention to the real level of the Royal Air Force. There are too many things that need her to coordinate and deal with. As long as the mainland is not attacked, it is good to maintain the status quo!
Every time they meet, they cry poor and ask her for money. It's very annoying!
I just didn't expect the Air Force to be so unbearable. How did the British Empire decline? It is also one of the five permanent members of the United Nations. The Air Force's combat power is seriously mismatched with its status!
The Iron Lady thought for a moment and said, "I know the difficulties of the Air Force, but the British Empire is in a more difficult situation at the moment."
"We must overcome all difficulties. After the funds are in place, we will give priority to the Air Force!"
It is an exchange of interests. They are all smart people. They naturally know what to do next.
As long as they can get military funds, everything else is fine. The Air Force Commander immediately expressed his position and promised to complete the task. He would never let the Prime Minister down!
The Iron Lady's promise to the Air Force Commander was not a secret at all. After learning about the situation, the Navy and the Army immediately quit!
You must know that it is the Navy and the Army who are working on the front line of the Falkland Islands. Why should the Air Force, which is in the rear, get priority funding? Is it because the Air Force Commander is tough and simply doesn't take the Navy and the Army seriously!
The Navy Commander and the Army Commander came to No. 10 Downing Street together, and their attitude was very clear. The Iron Lady must give them an explanation, otherwise things will never get through!
The Navy and the Army are still needed on the front line, and they dare not offend them at all. In addition to trying their best to appease them, they can't do anything else!
The final result is that the Navy will receive an additional $5 billion, the Army an additional $3 billion, and the Air Force an additional $2.5 billion.
Spending money to buy peace can be regarded as calming the anger of the three armed forces; $50 billion is indeed not a small amount, but an additional $10.5 billion was allocated in just one day; the more I think about it, the more headache I get, and the Iron Lady is so angry that she didn't even have dinner!
There is no obstacle for military transport aircraft to enter British airspace, and the next step is naturally to act according to the plan!
At the same time; Bao Zixuan also wants to show his strength and shock the British; he can also feel better when he pays back the money! The large military transport aircraft independently developed by the Black Cloud Aircraft Manufacturing Company came to the British Empire for the first time to perform a mission; it gives the world a huge imagination space!
