Chapter 174 Berlin’s Gift (Third update, please subscribe)
  While the Allied intelligence agencies were conducting a comprehensive investigation into the "Murdoch Incident" and trying to find out the whereabouts of the German National Bank's gold reserves, Kang Guowei and his squadron had already taken a flight to Tunisia, where they would go with the large army. Southeast Asia.

In order to cover up the whereabouts of Kang Guowei and the others, Li Yian deliberately transferred several search teams back from the front line. After all, the troops planned to return to Asia, so they did not arouse suspicion from the outside world.

Just after Kang Guowei and his party left by plane, the Allied intelligence agency also conducted an investigation into the search team, but the investigation obviously ended in vain - it is impossible for more than ten or twenty trucks to transport thousands of trucks of gold and other works of art.

While the Allied intelligence agencies were searching for Murdoch's missing German Reichsbank gold reserves and artworks, Li Yi'an, who had already arrived in Tunisia, had to face a problem - he brought too many things, which took up space. In most locations, those chemical shells only contained a mere [-] rounds.

The remaining chemical shells can only be temporarily stored in Germany, waiting to be shipped back to Asia later.

There must be gains and losses!

This has been the case since ancient times.

But just how much gold is there?

Li Yian did not have an accurate figure, but one thing is certain, it is definitely much more than the numbers counted by the Allies in history. After all, just gold ingots and bricks are more than ten times the Allied statistics. As for why there are so many more, I am afraid only God knows.

However, no one would feel that gold is thorny. Just when Li Yi'an instructed the Eurasian Development Bank to ask engineers to design a large vault for storing gold, and at the same time making final preparations for the return of the security forces to Borneo, an old friend arrived. Switzerland.

"my friend!"

After a hard hug, Li Yian said.

"I originally thought it would be difficult for us to meet again."

"I feel the same way, but the situation is getting worse faster than we thought."

Bolin, who had dark circles under his eyes, sounded a little disappointed. It was no wonder. After all, the empire was about to be destroyed, and no one could afford to be happy.

"Whether it is the Western Front of the British and American Allied Forces or the Russian Eastern Front, their offensives are very fierce and barely give us any room to breathe. Now, except for the head of state himself, no one believes that we still have a chance... "

What neither Berlin nor Li Yi'an knew at this time was that the reason why Luo Laizi, Fatty Qiu and Iron Father risked their lives to attack at all costs was entirely because of fear - fear that the Germans would bomb them with atomic bombs. Even in order to let Steel attack at all costs, Luo Zizi shared the information that Germany was about to build an atomic bomb with Steel's loving father. So under the forced order of their loving father, millions of Soviet troops immediately transformed into Crazy Ivan and launched an attack regardless of the cost or casualties.

Well, Fatty Qiu was the same, he also forced the British army to attack regardless of the cost.

Why is this happening?

Because be it a loving father or a fat man, they all know that the Germans may not be able to bomb the United States with atomic bombs, but they still have a good chance of bombing London and Moscow.

Therefore, because of the disappearance of more than a thousand tons of uranium oxide, while Germany faced Crazy Ivan on the Eastern Front, it also had to face Crazy John on the Western Front.

After the three major countries start the crazy mode, when will the war end?
  No one knows, but many more people will die, possibly millions.

When a butterfly's wings flap, what impact does it have on the world? Li Yi'an didn't know that at this time, he was not only happy to meet his old friend again, but he was also surprised by the gift sent by his old friend.

"This...is this your gift?"

Li Yian looked a little surprised when he picked up the piece of paper in front of him. He was very familiar with this piece of paper - a 5-pound note. This was the first pot of gold he earned when he first crossed over.

"Yes."

Bolin took a puff of cigarette, clicked the banknotes with his fingers and said. “Published by the Bank of England and manufactured in the Howlin factory in Saxony!”

In a word - this is counterfeit money!
  "In the summer of 42, the Reich Security Service formulated "Operation No. [-]" - to destroy the British economy by counterfeiting pounds, and opened a factory to print counterfeit banknotes in the Sachsenhausen concentration camp. For this purpose, we gathered Germany's best engraving experts, Experts in papermaking technology and mathematics. The latter was responsible for deriving the numbering rules for pound banknotes..."

In fact, there is no need for Berlin to tell the story behind this banknote. Li Yian also knows the origin of this banknote - Operation Bernhard. After all, he has also seen the movie, and this history has been made into movies in later generations.

"...The counterfeit coins produced in Sachsenhausen are divided into 4 grades: perfect, near-perfect, defective and substandard. The original plan was to air-drop the substandard coins to the UK, but in the end this part was destroyed. Perfect Counterfeit banknotes were stored for use by German spies in enemy and neutral countries. The beautifully printed, high-quality counterfeit pounds deceived even senior bank staff. It had reached the point where the fakes could be mistaken for the real ones and could only be detected by checking the serial numbers.”

After that, Berlin looked at Li Yian and said.

"Now that the Russians have approached Sachsenhausen, all equipment and personnel have been transferred to a subordinate camp of the Mauthausen concentration camp. The printing work continues there, and the pounds now printed are actually just for the escape of some people. Prepare, but as we all know, the most popular banknotes now are US dollars, not British pounds, so the batch of British pounds we previously stored in Switzerland is almost equivalent to waste paper, but because Borneo is a British colony, and there are There are many British colonies, so I think if I give it to you, it should come in handy."

This is Berlin’s gift!

Facing the generous gift from Berlin, Li Yi'an almost didn't know how to describe his feelings.

This guy in Berlin always brings some good news inadvertently. As he said, this batch of pounds can indeed be of some use to Li Yi'an.

"Hey, I don't even know what to say, old friend."

While Li Yi'an sighed, Berlin said with a smile.

"You know, I don't do loss-making business. The gifts I gave you need to be repaid." Berlin's words made Li Yian smile.

"You say, as long as I can do it."

"I need some planes to get some people out of Switzerland."

"Can,"

Li Yian agreed without hesitation,
  "Also, those people will accompany your troops to Asia in the future."

"no problem!"

While agreeing immediately, Li Yian looked at Berlin and asked.

"What about you? My friend, will you leave too?"

Facing his friend's question, Berlin thought for a while, then shook his head and said.

"I still have many friends in Germany. If I am in Switzerland, I can at least help some friends. In any case, I just hope you don't forget your promise."

Seeing Bolin stand up, Li Yian, knowing that he was leaving again, also stood up and said while shaking hands with him.

"Don't worry, Berlin. I'm a man of integrity. I will never betray my promise."
