Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 725 Lao Li and Lao Zhao
I followed Xue Jianrong on horseback for fifty or sixty kilometers, and saw a small temple in the distance. There were many heavily armed Chinese warriors guarding the temple.

When I got closer and looked over, I found that most of these soldiers were members of the special operations team.

Chu Xiangqian immediately felt relieved.

Although these 120 soldiers are not considered special forces, most of them are elite veterans who have been stationed in Fujian for many years and have been in the army for at least 5 years.

What Chu Xiangqian didn't expect was that the nameplates on the left chests of the soldiers were actually embroidered with the words 'Xuanjia Company'.

Chu Qianqian looked at his uncle in surprise and saw Xue Jianrong smiling and saying, "When you arrested Lieutenant General Cotter last time, didn't you say we were the Guards Xuanjia Army?
I also reported this to my superiors. Unexpectedly, Zhao Zhengwei thought it was good, but there were too many troops with the prefix "Guards" on the Red Polar Bear side.

If we use it again, it will appear to be out of touch with others.

Moreover, there is only one special operations company, so it is not appropriate to call it an army.

Simply change the name of our army's special battle company to the 'Xuanjia Company' from now on, and in the future it will be the 'Xuanjia Battalion', or even the 'Xuanjia Regiment'.

Maybe my brother, I, can become the first commander of this experimental force. "

Chu Xiangqian hurriedly asked the special team members to start weighing, and finally found that the total gold weighed 14.7 tons.

Sure enough, Xue Jianrong heard that the Mei people had established a special special forces, and then heard Chu Xiangqian's distinction between scouts and special forces.

This batch of gold is not only enough to offset the army's march south, but also all the preparations made in the past year, in addition to the money required.

Chu Qianqian saw that his uncle was so active, but he did not dampen his enthusiasm. If in the future, it would be established more than ten years in advance and a regular special operations force would be trained, facing the North Vietnamese who were good at jungle warfare, they would not suffer the consequences at the beginning. What a loss.

Seals had a record of a squadron being wiped out on the battlefield in Vietnam.

In the future, the seals will also suffer losses one after another, but although there are many examples of defeats, there are actually more examples of successfully completing tasks.

You should still be able to make millions of dollars.

This battle can be said to have brought fame and fortune, making the Celestial Dynasty make a lot of money.

"No problem, this shouldn't be difficult. And if this unit is really well trained, it will definitely be of great use in the future."

I immediately felt that China could not lag behind others.

It would be strange not to suffer a loss.

Unfortunately, these boxes are obviously not as big as the treasure boxes used to hold gold coins and gold objects in temples in Kerala.

As long as you are willing to spend money, it is actually easy to buy seal information.

No matter how powerful the special forces are, they have to kneel down when faced with the siege of dozens or hundreds of armed personnel.

It also includes various irregular combat tasks such as campaign reconnaissance, counter-terrorism, counter-hijacking, emergency rescue, psychological war propaganda, special police and security.

For Chu Xiangqian, the attraction of gold is actually not that great. After all, in the previous temple treasures in Kerala, gold treasures were measured in tons.

Chu Xiangqian just thought for a few seconds and nodded. The special forces these days are still in the exploratory stage.

Chu Xiangqian rolled his eyes after hearing this, but then he thought about it, it sounded much better than the tiger, leopard and eagle in the future.

And Chu Xiangqian also believed that after these gold coins and gold utensils were transported back to the Celestial Dynasty, there was a 9% chance that they would be smelted into gold nuggets.

Thinking of this, Chu Xiangqian couldn't help but tell Xue Jianrong about the establishment of the Magnesium Kingdom Seal just this year.

The Magnesium Navy SEALs were only established this year, in 62, and were sent to South Vietnam and participated in many raids in the name of South Vietnam.

But the special forces are more comprehensive, in addition to the traditional "scout" tasks such as tactical reconnaissance, harassment and destruction behind enemy lines, and firepower attacks.

Soon, he saw a wall of rectangular gold blocks piled up, as well as dozens of boxes of gold coins, gold chains, various gold plates, gold scepters and other gold objects.

Xue Jianrong was overjoyed. If he hadn't taken Chu Qianqian to see the gold in the temple, he would have wanted to ride a horse and report to his superiors.

There is also a lot of gold in Middle-earth.

After the Vietnam War was over and we suffered too much, we decided to establish a more specialized small unit with more comprehensive soldier capabilities and business operations.

It's not that the higher-ups don't know the value of antique gold, it's actually that basically only people from Tianzhu and Ying are interested in collecting these Tianzhu gold coins.

As a rough estimate, it's at least a dozen tons.

Moreover, the few times they failed, the intelligence was basically inaccurate. In the end, the special forces became a force on the frontal battlefield.

And if this special operations company is really established, it will definitely be regarded as the first regular special forces in China.

Otherwise, the weight might have to be doubled.

Just by looking at the name, you can tell that the Magnesium Navy did not pay much attention to this unit at first.

As for the reconnaissance companies and reconnaissance battalions, they are actually considered early special forces, but most of them are just selected elite troops to be responsible for reconnaissance tasks.

"I will report to the superiors when I get back." After saying that, an idea suddenly came to my mind. I looked at Chu Qianqian and said, "Qianqian, since you can find out about such confidential things from the Mei people.

Moreover, when the SEALs were first established, it was clear that they were not called the SEALs, but the underwater demolition team of the US Navy.

But even so, with the international gold price of US$10 per ounce in October, one ton is US$45 million.

How about I collect a copy of the SEAL training program and regulations from the Magnesium People? "

But if he had the opportunity to collect more gold, he wouldn't be stupid and refuse it.

To put it bluntly, they are still scouts, so many things are not classified as confidential.

As for the historical value of dozens of boxes of gold coins and gold utensils, no one present except Chu Xiangqian knew how to price and estimate it.

Chu Xiangqian has experienced the information explosion again, and he can definitely formulate a training charter that is at least stricter and more scientific than all special forces in this era.

Moreover, if there are too many of them, if they are put into the collection market in a short period of time, the price will plummet.

In addition, the Celestial Empire was severely short of money, so it was natural to use this batch of gold for emergencies.

As for the auction, it's okay to sell slowly in private.

If they were sold in large quantities, their storage would cause extremely bad repercussions internationally.

It might as well be smelted. No one has that foresight as to whether it will be worth anything in the future.

Chu Xiangqian silently calculated in his mind that 14.7 tons of gold itself was worth US$2340 million.

But I won't buy this batch of gold at this price. Sometimes it's not a bad thing to worry about everything.

"You will report to your superiors now that this batch of gold is worth US$10 million based on the international gold price in October.

If it were all sold to me, I would definitely not be able to buy it at $45 an ounce.

Not to mention the costs and favors required to transport it away, such a large amount of gold entering the market will drive down the price of gold. Maybe not even $2200 million.

But if you want to sell slowly, it will take several years.

With such a large amount of money in hand, the annual loss in interest alone on deposits in the bank is almost 200 million US dollars.

If you want me to take over, I can give you at most US$2200 million.

However, I will take over. In addition to being willing to help Tianchao obtain a development fund, I am also betting that the price of gold will increase in the future. Brother, you can tell the boss directly about this.

Or it may be suggested that the superiors keep this batch of gold and wait until the price of gold rises in the future, and then sell it to obtain more funds. "

Xue Jianrong was stunned, and he opened his mouth to curse, but out of thin air, 140 million US dollars was lost, which was almost equivalent to 350 million Tianchao coins. If this money had been given to tens of thousands of plateau troops, it would have been a year's salary and bonuses.

But seeing Chu Qianqian's serious expression, he knew that this guy probably wasn't talking nonsense.

Think about it again. At this time, the domestic bank interest rate was 15%. During the Chinese New Year the year before last, Chu Xiangqian also said in a casual chat that the interest rate on borrowing money from the United States could reach %.

8% or 10% is common.

If you think about it this way, if Chu Xiangqian had 2200 million US dollars in his hands and deposited it in the bank, he would indeed be able to earn about million in interest each year.

As for whether gold will rise in the future, Xue Jianrong doesn't know, and he doesn't have the ability to predict it.

Chu Xiangqian said this, and Xue Jianrong also guessed what he was thinking. This was to avoid someone making a fuss about the increase in gold prices in the future.

"Okay, I'll report to my boss right away."

Two hours later, not only did Xue Jianrong come back on horseback, but he was also accompanied by five or six middle-aged or old men who returned to the temple.

What surprised Chu Xiangqian was that among these people who looked like bosses at first sight, there was actually a familiar face.

"Third brother, this is Zhao Gang, member of the Security Council of our headquarters."

After Chu Xiangqian listened to his uncle's introduction, he didn't know that the person in front of him was the person in his memory.

But considering that there are courtyards in this world, it is actually normal for the characters in Liangjian to appear.

It was a pity that Li Yunlong didn't come over, but Chu Xiangqian thought about it and guessed that with Lao Li's character, meeting to discuss business would be a loss that he couldn't bear.

If you let him talk, there will most likely be a quarrel.

Chu Qianqian saluted Zhao Gang, and then explained in a helpless tone, "Sorry, Commissioner Zhao, my identity is kept secret."

Commissioner Zhao nodded. He had previously applied to his superiors to obtain the qualification to directly contact our intelligence personnel operating in the four northern states of Tianzhu.

Unexpectedly, I applied twice, and the first time I was rejected directly without any explanation.

The second time, he simply replied with a stern tone that was almost scolding and refused the telegram. Zhao knew that the young man in front of him and the intelligence team behind him had a higher confidentiality level than himself, a major general.

Moreover, Zhao Gang also speculated that this group was not only active in Tianzhu.

If you think about it, someone can come up with 2200 million US dollars, you will know how powerful this is.

He smiled busily and nodded to Chu Qianqian, who was still wearing a mask with only a pair of eyes exposed, "Understood, then I will also call you Lao San like Jian Rong?"

Chu Xiangqian naturally didn't care what the other party called him. Anyway, after today, there would probably be no chance to meet him again.

After some polite remarks, I got to the point, and I heard Zhao Zhengwei say, "I have received a reply from above, and I agree with your offer in principle, but I hope it will be in US dollars in cash.

It is really impossible to collect so many U.S. dollars in a short period of time. Hong Kong dollars of equivalent value will do, but U.S. dollars must account for more than half. "

After saying that, he looked at Chu Qianqian, who nodded indifferently, "No problem, we can pay in full in US dollars."

Not only did Zhao Gang feel relieved now, but several people traveling with him also breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's right." Seeing that Chu Qianqian was so cheerful, Old Zhao secretly thought that the boy in front of him was still a rich man, and he couldn't help but think of what Li Yunlong had told him before.

He continued with a smile, "If you don't have enough manpower, we can help you transport this batch of gold to China for free."

After hearing this, Chu Xiangqian began to mutter in his heart. As soon as he heard the last sentence, he knew that he wanted to make some money.

And this is 100% Lao Li’s style. He asked with a smile, “Security Committee, is your partner Li Yunlong, the leader of the independent group?”

Zhao Zhengwei, Xue Jianrong and several others were stunned for a moment, and then saw Chu Qianqian smiling and saying, "It looks like it's really him, so it's not surprising."

Zhao Zhengwei and others understood immediately upon hearing this. The young man in front of them must have heard about Lao Li's character and past.

But after all, I have been partnering with Lao Li for twenty or thirty years, so I will be influenced by Li Yunlong to some extent.

Just as he was about to fight for it again, he heard Chu Qianqian say first, "We will transport the gold ourselves, but for the sake of our family.

At the same time, this batch of gold was also discovered by your scouts, so I will give you 1 tons of rice and 500 tons of various Tianzhu military supplies.

However, the things have now been shipped to the port in Tianzhu. You can only wait a month or two. Our freighter will dispatch a ship to help you transport it to Hong Kong Island and hand it over to the comrades there to transport to the plateau. "

Zhao Zhengwei and others were surprised after hearing this, and then thought that when he and others led the troops south, people had already taken advantage of the chaos and looted the grain, grass and supplies left behind by the Tianzhu troops after their defeat.

And judging from what he meant, the number of people would definitely not be less than a few hundred or thousands.

What's even more shocking is that such a large-scale transfer of materials was carried out without any worry that the Tianzhu people would target them.

After thinking about the meaning of this, Zhao Zhengwei felt that he had better stop being verbose with the young man in front of him.

And it's no wonder that the superiors didn't mention how to hand over the $2200 million, and just said that the gold would be handed over directly to the young man in front of him.

"Understood." After nodding, Zhao Zhengwei suddenly felt something in his heart and took the initiative to extend his hand, "Thank you for the cattle, sheep, horses and 2 tons of grain you gave us before."

Chu Xiangqian laughed, it was easy to talk to smart people.

Seeing Chu Qianqian smiling and saying nothing, Lao Zhao and others didn't know that the large amount of supplies before the war was really the result of the young man in front of him and the intelligence team behind him.

He hurriedly said that if there was a chance in the future, he would definitely invite Chu Qianqian to drink.

After sending Zhao Zhengwei and others away, Chu Qianqian pretended to leave the temple for more than ten hours, taking hundreds of Arabian horses with him at around three in the morning. When he returned to the temple, he asked Xue Jianrong to leave with the special team. .

Xue Jianrong didn't ask any more questions. During this period of time, he finally understood that his brother-in-law's strength abroad was far beyond his imagination.

When he went out, he saw more than a hundred Arabian horses, but he didn't see anyone except Chu Xiangqian. He subconsciously asked, "Do you need me to ask the special forces to help you transport this batch of gold?"

Chu waved his hand forward. With 14.7 tons of gold, even if all 120 people from the special operations company were here, it would take at least several hours to move it all.

It will be difficult to leave when it gets daylight.
