In the vault under the Reserve Bank of Bucharest, Edel was looking at the gold engraved in Russian in front of him while praising Milok and Kaloust who were following him.
This batch of gold in Kazan was escorted by Christo, Silka, Varisi and others for nearly half a month, and finally arrived in Romania safely. After their ship arrived in Constanta, the Guards sent a
The team is responsible for its safety, and also controls the entire route arrangement to prevent it from leaving sight. The task is not completed until everything has been transported to the underground vault of the Reserve Bank.
As for the safety of the Reserve Bank, this is not a problem at all. The bank has multiple protections. The underground vault door alone has three doors, all made of full metal. In addition, the Reserve Bank is not open to the public, so it will not give people any
An opportunity to fish in troubled waters. And there is a military camp a hundred meters next to it, where a regiment of the Guards is stationed. There is an alarm in the bank directly connected to the military camp. If there is an emergency, the fully armed troops will be there within three minutes.
It will appear in the bank. Unless the enemy reaches Bucharest, it will be absolutely impossible to transport it away.
Listening to the king's praise, Milok, who was mainly responsible for the specific work, said carefully: "This is not just the ability of our intelligence department to rely on our intelligence, but also the result of the efforts of the whole kingdom."
Facing Milok's humble words, Edel did not reply. He looked back and said: "Among them, the ability of your intelligence department is the key to this operation. There is no need to be modest about this. Do you deserve the credit?"
People can take it away, and this is also the best reward for those who have made sacrifices for Romania."
Why did Edel say this? It was because the captain of the guard handed him the list of intelligence personnel who died in this operation. This touched Edel greatly. Even though this operation went so smoothly, it actually relied on the efforts of many departments.
Only through cooperation can it be completed.
In order to ensure this operation over the years, the intelligence department as the main body has only the basic information on each route as large as three or four file boxes, not to mention the infiltration and bribery of officials in various places, as well as the setting up of sites, etc. These are all
It is the painstaking efforts of unknown and hard-working front-line intelligence agents.
For these gold reserves, which have greatly contributed to the development of Romania, the list of victims alone is several pages long. Many of them were caused by natural disasters and man-made disasters, and only a few of them were discovered and eliminated.
For example, Edel saw the 'Black Wolf' Baropeck on the list. This was a veteran intelligence officer who had performed many missions and had a good reputation. In 1911, he was sent to Russia as the head of the intelligence station.
Later, he was killed by gangsters in October 1916. The reason was very simple. His disguised identity was that of a small grain merchant, and the gangsters were just looking for money and killed this excellent intelligence officer for more than ten or dozens of rubles.
Of course, Barro Parker is not an isolated case. For example, the "Red Fox" Luo Liya, the "turtle dove" Schalke, the "Black Panther" Natalie, etc. on the list all encountered various accidents.
Therefore, the intelligence officers sent abroad are not as glamorous as everyone thinks. Many of them have to face various environments that they do not like at all. As for the executioners who killed their friends and colleagues, they completely chat and laugh. In order to obtain information
Various means were used, and the sacrifices made were also very high.
In order to succeed in hiding, it has become common sense to fully integrate into one's identity. Just like Felicis's transformation from a student to an aristocratic persona, to a skilled worker in a shipyard, these are all his basic skills.
And Edel also learned about the hardships and difficulties of intelligence personnel through this list and Kalust's narration. It is not at all like the beauties with beautiful cars, graceful demeanor, or strong skills and high-tech skills that he knew from movies and TV shows in his previous life.
Blessing. And these are basically to satisfy the people's various fantasies about the intelligence agencies.
The real situation is that you may have been lurking in the local area for several years, more than a decade or even a lifetime. You have almost forgotten your family or friends, and you can only live silently in the local area, waiting for the call of the organization. Even if it means sacrifice
They are basically unknown, and they are not even recognized by the motherland. And they can maintain this two-faced life entirely because of their love and persistence for the motherland.
Of course, as their superiors, Milok or Kalust and others are also very concerned about these front-line intelligence personnel, and provide all kinds of help to their families and intelligence personnel. For example, they allow them to read letters from their family members, and sometimes secretly organize them
Gather together to bond and let them feel the care of the organization.
However, as an intelligence department, there is not only warmth, but also a sharp cold wind. It has also carried out many hunts for intelligence personnel of rebel organizations. After all, people have all kinds of ideas, and many ideas are dangerous. These methods can also make people
They understand the dangers of intelligence officers, allowing them to have more concerns when making choices.
Of course, these are the last resort, and more require their personal integrity and perseverance. Therefore, in the selection of intelligence personnel, the requirements for all aspects have always been very strict. This is not only for the country and the organization, but also for their consideration.
Romania's rapid development is not only due to Edel's foresight, but also the support of all aspects of Romania. His role is only to avoid detours and cannot directly replace its progress. As the eyes and ears of the kingdom
, the intelligence department is of course very important.
Edel was very aware of this, so he brought Mirok and Kalust with him when inspecting the results. This was an affirmation of their achievements.
Of course, in addition to spiritual encouragement, material rewards must also be given, but half of these rewards are given to the middle and lower classes. For those who have reached the level of Kalust and Milok, recognition from the king is the biggest reward.
As Edel continued to check the gold, he asked: "Please make a list of the rewards for this operation, and I will distribute them face to face to these people who have worked hard for the kingdom."
As the main person in charge, Milok, who has some gray hair, replied: "Okay, Your Majesty, I will draw up one when I get back."
Looking at Milok's gray hair, Edel sighed and said, "I'm very satisfied with your work, Milok, just don't work too hard."
Facing the king's concern, Milok still said in his expressive tone: "This is all for the sake of the kingdom. The current situation in Europe prevents our intelligence department from relaxing at all."
Milok's words reminded Edel of the current war situation, and he couldn't help but sigh. "Yes, it is too important for Romania now, so we cannot relax."
"But Milok, you need to take care of your health. You are the most capable intelligence manager in our country. If you are exhausted, I can't find anyone to take over."
Facing Edel's teasing words, Milok also replied: "I will pay attention, Your Majesty. I will not let Romania be suppressed by others in terms of intelligence."
The conversation between Edel and Milok did not cause any disturbance in Kalust's heart at all. As a guard captain, he knows his strengths and weaknesses. As the most trusted person around the king, this is his advantage. But in
In terms of intelligence work, he is really not as good as Milok, after all, this is not his specialty.
"By the way, what happened to Donovsky who took five tons of gold and left?"
"We have exchanged him for checks and treasury bonds of the same value, and he has left Romania with these. As a smart man, I believe he will take this secret into the coffin."
At this time, Donovsky, who was in high spirits on a cruise ship, suddenly sneezed. Helping his wife next to him asked with concern: "Honey, what's wrong?"
Donovsky looked at the Mediterranean Sea, feeling the warm Dead Sea breeze, and answered his wife: "It's okay, I just suddenly felt a little itchy on my nose."
PS: Sorry, I wrote the wrong chapter name in the previous chapter. It should be Chapter 47. I blame myself for not looking carefully. (To be continued)
