One day later, the cruiser Volga hurriedly appeared in this area.
With an anxious look on his face, Captain Nikolai held up his binoculars and looked around, but the freighter Eugene was nowhere to be seen.
"Captain, is it possible that the radio on the Eugene is too bad and has jumped ahead of us?" the first mate said worriedly about another possibility.
Captain Nikolay said. "This is also possible. Let the transmitter continue to call the Eugene, and also send a telegram to the Fury and the Komsomolets, and ask them to continue to search for the Eugene."
After not receiving a telegram from the Eugene for a day, the crew of the Volga was worried. However, the Eugene was not seen anywhere on the sea, which made Captain Nikolay who was responding feel that something was wrong.
Of course they could not find the Eugene that sank to the bottom of the sea, and now the cargo ship Boyahi, carrying more than 500 tons of gold, had merged with the task force and sailed through the Strait of Gibraltar under its protection and entered the Mediterranean Sea.
On the cargo ship Boyaxi, a short celebration meeting was being held. Hall Monkman was holding a wine glass and making a brief speech for the success of this operation.
"Well done, boys. You are Romania's heroes and the country is proud of you, so enjoy it."
Hall Monkman's speech made the team members cheer for joy. There is nothing more joyful than praise from the head of one's department.
Hallmonkman looked at the excited team members below and called the captain Firkoff to his side. "Firkoff, this action did not disappoint me. You did a very good job. I applaud you."
Facing the compliment from his superior, Firkoff said in return, "Thank you, Director, for the compliment. This is what we should do. This can only be accomplished with the cooperation of other colleagues in the department and the Navy."
Hallmonkman was very satisfied with Firkov's answer. He continued, "Next, you need to lead the young man to continue working hard and escort this batch of gold back to the country with the ship."
After hearing his boss's arrangement, Firkov put down his glass and agreed. "Director, please rest assured that we will definitely protect and transport a lot of gold back to the country."
After Filkov finished speaking, Hall Monkman continued. "In addition to you, this escort mission also has the help of the navy."
At this time, Rear Admiral Midrafael, commander of the task force who had been silent next to him, interjected. "Please rest assured, you two, I will escort the heavy cruiser Brabista on the grounds that it is out of order and needs repairs."
You go back to your country."
Faced with Rear Admiral Midrafael's speech, Hall Monkman said, "Thank you for the Navy's support."
"This is all for Romania."
…
Of course, Edel needs to know the news about the success of the operation. Apart from anything else, Edel will not let Edel know it too late. In fact, in the early morning after the operation was successful, Edel
Just got the news.
"That's great."
When Edel received the news of success, everyone was happy, much happier than before when he captured the Kazan gold.
The reason is simple. The Kazan gold exists in Edel's memory, and he has been preparing for it for six or seven years. But this time, it only took less than a month from knowing the news to the successful operation.
One is that there is a long waiting period. The surprise has consumed a lot of expectations during this long waiting. But this time it is about taking action as soon as you know it. Of course, you are full of expectations, and the joy after success is incomparable to the former.
.
Now that this batch of gold has been seized, the issue of how to spend it cannot be avoided. First of all, the military and intelligence agencies need to divide a part, because this operation depends entirely on the cooperation between the military and intelligence agencies.
Among them, the intelligence department spent more than 5 million US dollars on intelligence alone for this operation, not counting manpower and material resources. Because the time was tight and the task was urgent, although there were intelligence agencies providing intelligence, the content they knew was limited, and it was impossible to fully understand this operation.
In terms of trends, basically everything is driven by money.
As for the military, the cost is even greater. Just the more than 20 submarines scattered in the Atlantic Ocean require a lot of expenses, and there is also the cooperation of other warships. In addition, although the army and air force can provide less help,
But there is also a need to share some profits.
Although Edel can decide the use of this gold in one word, as the atmosphere of World War II becomes more and more intense, the attitude of the military must also be considered. Although the military is currently a staunch supporter of the royal family, any support requires interests
It can last for a long time. Even Eder, as the most outstanding king of Romania, still needs to consider the feelings of the military.
In addition to these two companies, Edel intends to use part of this batch of gold to stabilize the economy. Although Romania's current economy still looks good, hidden dangers have already been revealed.
The impact of the massive currency issuance and military expansion has made life for ordinary people difficult. After all, the tilt of resources towards the military will inevitably affect people's lives. And Edel plans to use part of it to stabilize people's lives. Because
Romania's economic foundation is insufficient and the people's resistance to economic depression is insufficient, so it is best to stabilize it.
As for the remaining gold, Edel planned to purchase various materials that Romania was in urgent need of before the war, such as rubber, tin ore, tungsten ore, tung oil and other products. After all, Romania would have a lot of demand for these materials in the coming war.
And our country does not produce these materials. If we don't stock up in advance, how can we use other substitutes like Germany. Although these substitutes can also be used, they can only be substitutes after all.
While everyone in Romania was elated about seizing the gold, news of the disappearance of the Eugene reached Moscow.
Everyone in the Kremlin today is terrified because Comrade Stalin, the helmsman of the Soviet ship, is in a bad mood.
Ever since Minister Yezhov entered the Steel Leader's office, the leader's roar could still be heard in the well-soundproofed room. There were not many things that could make Comrade Stalin lose his temper on the spot, so no one wanted to get into trouble with him.
"Bang." Stalin's famous pipe flew over a long distance and hit Yezhov accurately on the forehead. The head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs who was hit also had a shocked expression.
Facing the angry Stalin, even Yezhov, who was famous in the Soviet Union, did not dare to look at him.
He was completely unwilling to meet Stalin this time, but he did not dare to hide such a big news about the disappearance of gold, so he could only bite the bullet and report it to Stalin.
After Stalin calmed down a little, he looked at Yezhov who dared not express his anger, and anger welled up in his heart.
"Check it out for me right away. I want to know what kind of national power dares to touch the Soviet Union's things."
After receiving the instruction, Yezhov hurriedly left here as if running away. However, he did not notice that after he turned around, Stalin showed a trace of cruelty in his eyes.
