Chapter 734 War Money Is Really Good

Commonwealth of America.

Los Angeles, Bunker Branch.

The special guards who come in and out every day are the same as before. As the situation in Europe becomes more complicated, more and more rich people hire bodyguards.

S.H.I.E.L.D., with a 100% mission completion rate, is the most trusted institution for rich people.

The special guards of the North American base were transferred overseas in large numbers, in the name of supporting the branch and business adjustment.

This also caused fewer and fewer people in the North American headquarters and branches, and special guards began to become more sought-after.

"Boss, we are almost running out of people." In the office, Hans looked at Li Zitao and said helplessly.

"Transfer people from Vladivostok and let the old Maozi be in charge of the security of the Spanish branch. I think they will be happy to do so."

Li Zitao flipped through the report in his hand and said without raising his head.

Compared with the current situation, he is more concerned about interests. Spain's recent gold consumption is a bit large.

Although the Armada has become history, the heritage left by Spain during its hegemony is still there.

Its domestic gold reserves are as high as more than 1,100 tons, which is a terrifying figure.

You must know that in the same period, the gold reserve of small RB is only 30 tons, and it is already a modern and powerful country in Central Asia.

After the two parties reached an agreement, the government of the Republic first handed over 200 tons of gold, and the transportation channel was directly into Switzerland via France.

The branch in Switzerland has been built, and there is finally some stock in the newly built brand new vault.

But then the Republic procrastinated again and again, until the Fort Segil incident occurred, and there was a rebellion in Morocco, and then it readily began to transfer gold reserves again.

But to his headache, the government of the republic was making a deal with the Soviet Union.

At present, 100 tons of gold and various munitions have been ordered, including aircraft, tanks, cannons, and automatic weapons.

It is said that this order is not the final plan. The Republic plans to order 5-600 tons of gold arms at one time to win the war.

As for why gold is used for settlement, it is naturally the request of the Soviet Union.

Because of the civil war, the Spanish currency was severely depreciated, and the Soviet Union demanded that it be settled in gold before agreeing to aid it.

"600 tons, it's all my money." Li Zitao muttered, frowning.

600 tons of gold is not a small amount, which is related to the future status and influence in Switzerland.

1100 tons of gold, it is impossible for Spain to transfer all of them.

Li Zitao's original plan was 800 tons, and Spain would keep 300 tons for itself, so there will be nothing left to talk about.

But now if 600 tons are paid to the Soviet Union, the second batch of 100 tons transferred by the Republic may be the last time.

From 800 tons to 300 tons, Li Zitao couldn't stand the grievance.

Compared with the German guy, he was much more generous. He directly sent 500 million marks, and now the money has been safely transferred to Ruilian, adding an income to the Lee Fund.

"War money is really easy to make." Considering the current environment in Spain, Li Zitao decided to give Manuel a little more motivation. '

...

...

In Morocco, under the pressure of Franco, a large number of police and army took to the streets under the order of the government to arrest the rebels who were causing trouble in the territory.

But overnight, these rebels seemed to disappear from the world, without any trace at all.

All areas also fell into a strange calm, and the mysterious team that defeated the 6,000-strong army in Fort Segil earlier disappeared.

Franco's military staff believed that these mysterious forces were under pressure and hid first, waiting for them to relax their vigilance and come out again.

But this judgment was soon slapped in the face. Franco designed one trap after another. The last time he even released arms worth hundreds of millions of marks as bait, and he was mentally prepared for the loss of these arms.

However, nothing happened and everything remained calm.

In desperation, those staff officers who were slapped in the face could only think that,

The opponent was scared away by the three forces of Germany, Italy, and the rebels who became serious.

Without the harassment from the rear, Franco mobilized all his forces to start a new round of fighting against the Republic, and Manuel's pressure increased greatly.

Madrid, Spain.

In the capital, Manuel, who was listening to the report in his office, trembled and turned blue.

"Whether it's Western capitalists, the Soviet Union or other countries, they only care about their own interests and don't care about our situation at all.

Those damn bandits deserve hell, and the damn FXS, Franco... damn traitor. "

Hearing the general's complaint, Manuel looked at him indifferently and said, "Go to hell, we are the ones going to hell now."

"How's the deal with the Soviet Union on the arms order?" After speaking, Manuel ignored the general's ugly face and turned to look at his adviser.

"The current finalized order is worth 300 tons, and we are striving for the most advanced Soviet weapons, such as TsKB-26 transport aircraft, T-32 tanks, etc."

Hearing the consultant's words, Manuel thought for a while, raised his head and said with a gloomy expression: "Transfer the order of the transport plane to the skunk, I think they will find a way."

No matter how huge the Soviet Union is, the direct help that can be given to the Republic now is not as fast and effective as the S.H.I.E.L.D.

The riots in Morocco some time ago took away a lot of Franco's experience and allowed the Republic to fight two beautiful counterattacks.

Now that the advantage he just gained is about to be lost again, Manuel can only choose to compromise: "Reduce purchases from the Soviet Union... within 300 tons, keep 300 tons in domestic reserves, and transfer the rest to Switzerland."

Although Manuel was forced to compromise due to the situation, it was not without arrangements.

In the government memorandum, the recorded amount of gold transferred is 800 tons. Once the Republic fails, I believe Franco will not let him go easily.

As a politician, how could Manuel not have a backup.

If he fails, no matter whether it is the Soviet Union or the Chinese rich man, don't want to get rid of the relationship, and someone will naturally find trouble with them.

Greater Los Angeles area, Castle of Dreams.

The castle is decorated with lights and festoons, and the banquet is being prepared. The Li couple will hold the biggest New Year party in the castle tonight.

This is the happiest year Li Zitao has ever lived. The 500 tons of gold reserves are more than 600 million US dollars based on the market price alone.

Although this gold is 'kept on behalf of', the national reserve gold will not be used easily, which means that the gold can be used at any time.

It's not every day that you use other people's money to make money for yourself.

Besides, if the government of the Republic really failed, Li Zitao would not accept the account.

The gold entrusted to him by the government of the republic wants the representative of the republic to come and collect it.

The big deal is to give half of it to the Federal Reserve or Washington. I believe they are happy to act as the vanguard and help themselves withstand the pressure.
