Metal Ranger of the Endless Plane

The main plane of the Fed’s gold is mainly stored in two places. One is the underground treasury of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, and the other is the Fort Knox Army installation located 50 kilometers outside of Louisville, Kentucky (which is the origin of the fried chicken).

The latter is the place where the Fed stores U.S. card gold reserves, while the former is actually the settlement warehouse of the global gold trading center when the Brutton Woods system exists.

However, despite the collapse of the Brutton Woods system, when it was the dollar credit that was forcibly bound to gold, the status of gold in international trade settlement did not drop in the slightest.

Taking into account the cost and time issue of bulk gold transportation and storage, after the collapse of the system, countries did not retrieve the gold stored in New York.

According to data, underground warehouses in New York store seven to eight thousand tons of gold from more than 60 countries, with a total value of more than 200 billion U.S. dollars.

So attentive friends will find out that Mika’s own gold is guarded by elite armoured troops in military bases, but other countries’ gold is in an international port city like New York?

In fact, that's how it is.

After all, the former is equivalent to their national treasure, and the latter is the trading center.

Then there is another question. The countries of the world put gold in New York, do they rest assured? Won't something happen?

Let me talk about the last thing first, something will happen.

Not to mention the Rock Star plane here, Lester Mack and others are coveting the gold. Although their goal, the United Reserve Bank of Los Santos, does not correspond to the main plane, the problem with the underground vault in New York It's not small.

Rather, a defeated European country recently wanted to check the domestic gold stored in the underground vaults in New York, and wanted to ship dozens of tons of gold back to the country every year for quality inspection. Unlike the original pure gold bricks, it was left with only one layer of gold skin. , The inside is muddy.

However, this request was rejected by the Fed.

Therefore, most European countries took the second place, hoping to send professional and technical personnel to the underground vault for on-site inspection.

The result was rejected again.

What happened after this incident, there is still no clear statement.

So various conspiracy theories.

For example, the underground vaults in New York were actually embezzled by Mika. They have been in debt for many years. In recent years, the federal government has gone bankrupt. Civil servants cannot pay wages. There are too many reasons to use the gold.

However, this conspiracy theory obviously does not understand the true structure of the US-Canadian government.

In fact, it is more appropriate to regard the entire country of the US card as a company. The Fed is the board of directors. The Federal Government of Mica is nothing but managers and other managers hired by the board of directors. The masses of middle and lower people are temporary workers that can be abandoned at any time.

In this way, it is clear at a glance how various social malpractices under the US card system came into being.

Having said that, if the company is not doing well and the employees cannot pay wages, will the board members use their property to pay the employees?

Maybe Huaxia might really do it, but Meika is absolutely impossible.

So, in this case, countries in the world trust the Fed to keep their gold?

If you really trust it, why does that European country still ask for an investigation?

In fact, the real situation is quite complicated. If you want to explain that it is too troublesome, let's just say it briefly. Simply put, it is partial trust but not full trust, while the loss is controllable, and sacrifices have to be made for the benefit.

First of all, we have to sacrifice for the benefit. Because the escrow of gold to the gold trading center is for the convenience of trading. This is the advantage.

The loss is manageable. As I said before, more than 7000 tons of gold in more than 60 countries are worth more than 200 billion U.S. dollars.

Did you find out? Seven or eight thousand tons of gold is only more than 200 billion U.S. dollars.

Compared with the same period last year, China's national tax revenue in 2019 was nearly 16 trillion yuan, which is approximately more than two trillion US dollars, which is seventy to eighty thousand tons of gold.

Considering that the gold in the underground vaults in New York belongs to more than 60 countries, including those old-brand developed countries in Central and Western Europe, in fact, this gold is only a small figure for their treasury.

In order to facilitate international trade, taking out a small part of the wallet and replacing it with gold and putting it in the gold trading center is a more acceptable way for countries all over the world.

As for the reason why there is actually a United Savings Bank in Los Santos where there is gold on the Yanxing plane, it is probably because Los Santos also has a gold trading center in this world.

In fact, Lu Yuan studied these things because he remembered that the gold stolen by the offline protagonist was only 200 million U.S. dollars. That is six to eight tons.

Compared with a vault of 8,000 tons on the main plane, and a vault of 5,000 tons, the difference is quite a bit.

Lu Yuan couldn't be sure whether Luo Shengdu had only so much gold here, or Mike and the others only dared to take it or could only take it.

If it is the latter, for Lu Yuan, who has a working space, as long as he can enter the vault, it is not difficult to evacuate it.

Gold is also a hard currency. If you can get hundreds of tons, you don’t have to go back to the main world to make money by trading stocks. Find a place to sell some 12.5 kilograms of gold bricks, and the previous problem will be solved. NS!

It's just that he was so plunged into fantasy, Mike, who had introduced the situation, coughed awkwardly, and fell silent for a while.

Fortunately, Lu Yuan is keen enough now, and immediately regained consciousness and asked, "What's wrong? Is there any problem?"

"How do you say this?" Mike said awkwardly. "That's it, this big deal, you know, it won't work without some crazy guy."

"But, you also know how I was **** by the triad, right?"

"You mean, Cui Fo?" Lu Yuan asked.

"Yes, yes!" Mike hurriedly replied, "That guy can't wait for the triad people to kill me now, and that big deal can only be put on hold for now."

"That's it?" Lu Yuan frowned pretentiously. In fact, he knew it well, and he was pretty sure that Cui Fo would join in the end, so he wasn't in a hurry at all.

However, Mike didn't know the little Jiujiu in his heart. Seeing him frowning, thinking he was trying to find a way, so he said directly, "Speaking of which, aren't you and Trevor also partners? I mean, can you persuade him? Persuade him?"

"Me?" Lu Yuan almost didn't slip off his chair when he heard it, his face full of consternation did not pretend, "Let me persuade Trevor Phillips? How could that be possible?"

"Brother, what temper is Trevor? You have been working with him for more than ten years, don't you still know?" Lu Yuan slowly said with a wry smile, "We have only cooperated, and it may only take a few months..."

"I know. I'm sorry, I went to the doctor for a sudden illness." After hearing Luyuan's words, Mike also came back to his senses, knowing that his request was too far-fetched.

Seeing his frustrated face, Lu Yuan thought for a while, and still persuaded him, "Then what, if I have a chance, I will go and give Cui Fu a side blow. But you also know his temper, holding back and retreating. I can only try my best."

"Well, okay, I see, thanks a lot." Mike apparently didn't have much confidence in Lu Yuan's so-called side-by-side attack.

Having said that, there was nothing to continue, Lu Yuan and Xiaofu both left.

It's hard to say what the protagonist is, but Lu Yuan really feels his heart is beating.

Although the actual value is not too much, it is a whole piece of gold bricks after all. It feels uncomfortable just to touch. If you get a whole bed of gold bricks and sleep on it every day, it is How refreshing.

[That would be very shabby. 】The system speaks indifferently.

[If the host likes gold very much, it can be exchanged with time and space points. 】

[In addition, there is a kind of magic on the plane of Nin that can turn iron ore into gold ore, and then refine it into gold nuggets. 】

[Although there must be some flaws in purity, it is better than the quantity. 】

[Does the host not think about it? 】

That's how it was said, but Lu Yuan listened to the tone of the system, how it sounded like he was sarcastic.

It seems to be saying, "It's just gold. It's really shameful for the traveler to see your unseen virtues!"

So after listening to him, Lu Yuan immediately counterattacked, "Don't irritate me! Once I have done all the preparations, I might actually go back to the plane of Nin to practice the golden technique!"

【looking forward. ] The system tone is still plain.

"You wait!"

However, both of them knew that with the current situation of the Rock Star plane, Lu Yuan didn't even want to return to the main plane for the time being, so he said something about going to the Nin plane.

Back at the office, Lu Yuan thought that there should be some news in the meat processing factory, but it turned out to be quite calm.

A few days later, there is still no news at all.

This can only explain one thing, that is, after Lu Yuan and the others left, the triad people discovered the problem in the processing plant and went to clean up the battlefield.

This situation is good or bad.

The good thing is that at least no police have added chaos. Although Lu Yuan had been in Los Santos for so long, he didn't feel that LSPD had any effect.

I have to ask the hunter squad for help in matters of the division. The gangsters symbolically chase after him and don’t care. It is simply the kind of gangsters that the gangsters love to die.

The downside, of course, is that since the triad has kidnapped Mike, he naturally has a certain understanding of him. If the triad investigates Mike a little bit, his mansion is not that difficult to find, and it is only a matter of time before it finds a chance to tie him up again.

But after playing against those triads, Lu Yuan always felt something strange.

You know, he once rescued the kidnapped three Helena sisters in an underground club, that is, the three girls in the Turner family.

At that time, he also encountered an enhanced fighter from the Black Armored forces in the underground club. Although the man didn't wear the iconic black armor, the trouble caused to Lu Yuan was no more than that of Dark Eagle or Wave Blade, who had dealt many times.

And the vigilance force there, although not top-notch, is pretty good.

Far from being comparable to the mobs encountered in the meat processing plant a few days ago.

"Could it be that after losing the cornucopia of the underground clubhouse, even the power of the triad society has been reduced?" Lu Yuan concluded quite suspiciously.
