"This is a conspiracy! It is a shameless threat and blackmail to the British Empire! We must be resolute, thorough, and without any room for room for trouble! We must never bow our heads to the terrorists! We must never!"

Churchill's roar echoed in the Congress hall, and it could be heard everywhere without a loudspeaker, making people nearby buzzing in their ears, which was as thrilling as a lion's roar!

Many of his political enemies were deprived of their wits of disgrace in such roars. However, today, he was not facing a political enemy, but rather a bank robber who did not know where he was, and abominable terrorists who robbed the British Museum and Her Majesty the Queen's treasures!

Yes, it can no longer be described as a robber. There is no better adjective except for terrorists to commit such an unforgivable and shocking case in the capital of Britain!

Simple treasure troves and museum robberies do not need to alarm Congress. Scotland Yard and the police station can handle it, but the stolen bank of the Bank of England is gone, which means the gold that represents the rights and status of the British Empire is gone, and the nature is completely different! To be honest, if you don’t handle it well, the whole country may be in chaos!

Although all countries have got rid of the gold standard and relying on national credit to support currency, the existence of gold is an unquestionable stable equivalent. At critical moments, it can exert extraordinary effects of overwhelming force. At this time, it may not be able to realize it. Once it is lost, the consequences will be unimaginable!

The news cannot be blocked. Whether it is bank shareholders, consortium giants, or senior officials and sirens in the upper house, they are essentially all in the same group. This is directly contacting their interests, and it is a slap in the face with extremely rough means. If you don’t find a way to get back the scene as soon as possible, the Empire of Sun-Don’t Setting will slide from the peak of the world to an abyss of unknown distance. And this is unacceptable no matter what!

A smart person like Churchill would naturally think that such things would not come out casually. Being able to plan such a crazy plan and finally execute it successfully, countries and organizations in the world with this ability will only slap them in the face.

Among them, most of them can be ruled out casually. The most likely ones are Germans, Americans and Chinese Zhu Bin!

Yes, this arrangement order is not listed casually. After intense and rapid analysis and statistics from the situation management department, the conclusion is this. These three countries have sufficient reasons and conditions to do so.

Needless to say, the Germans have declared war, and both sides have an unresolved grudge, and it is impossible to reduce the number of hundreds of thousands of people without death or injury. Hitler of course would be happy to see that Britain has lost its power to fight. Moreover, this guy has been searching for various mythical items around the world in recent years, trying to obtain superhuman power to help him rule the world. Then it is not impossible for his secret operation department to come out to grab gold.

When it comes to familiarity with Britain, the Germans must have dominated the country. They have been struggling with each other for hundreds of years and have a deep understanding of each other!

But there is only one thing. The British intelligence department did not receive even a little information in advance, which is a bit unreasonable. And if Germany can secretly transport 8,000 tons of gold, it would be easy to blow London to the sky directly? They didn't do that. Is the time not right? But the act of robbing cultural relics and treasures is completely consistent with the German collector's obsession!

Americans rank second, and it will surprise many people if they say it, but in fact, Britain knows best that the United States has always coveted its position as the world's number one power. It is planning silently.

For example, in this war, the Americans were still exporting strategic materials such as oil and rubber to Germany until this year, but on the other hand, they supported the confrontation between Britain. They obviously took the opportunity to make money in the war and waited for both to lose both sides. They naturally climbed to the top, which was shameless! If they had the opportunity now, of course they would not miss the opportunity to weaken Britain. Britain, which had lost gold, wanted to support it, only rely on the economic strength of the United States, which was indeed easy to calculate!

Then as long as it is proved that the United States' gold theft is fake, it is their actions to release the wind to cover up their conspiracy, everything will make sense.

But this is what the British people most reluctant to see. The United States' economic strength is already the world's number one, and its naval and air force can overwhelm the United Kingdom at will. However, the people in the country advocate isolationism, and the consortiums cannot see the benefits, so they just stop moving. If Britain fights against them, there is no chance of winning. This may be the worst!

Zhu Bin ranks third, not the British underestimated him. In fact, the British look down on all non-Western people, and the whole world is a traitor. The reason why he is ranked third is that he has enough motivation to do this. After all, Britain has just planned to cut off Zhu Bin's hard-working industry. If it were ordinary people, it would have been a blow!

Another thing is that Zhu Bin has enough technical ability to do it. With the joining of tens of thousands of world-class scientists, his City of Light is like a patent assembly line, and every day it produces scientific research results equivalent to the total number of the world's total. The number of papers occupies all the pages of "Science" and "Nature" magazines, which is very abominable!

Moreover, Zhu Bin never minded using all kinds of unconventional force to achieve his goals. The Japanese suffered a lot in this regard and were still suffering. The United Kingdom was keeping a close eye on its development speed. Churchill, as the Minister of the Navy, has been tracking its expansion and found that the construction speed of Zhu Bin's arms, especially the fleet, was inhuman!

Not to mention anything else, even if a battleship with a standard platoon of more than 40,000 tons is built by the British in three shifts, it will take at least one and a half years to be launched, installed, adjusted, and trial sailing, etc., and it will take at least eight months to one year to one year, and at least two and a half years to be put into service. This is already a huge speed.

But how did Zhu Bin play? One and a half years ago! His "Taishan-class" battleship was launched into the water, and he participated in the war directly. He seemed to have skipped all the steps such as trial sailing and exercises, and no accident was heard in the middle. After the naval officers who visited came back, they were dissatisfied with the details of their own warships. From the hull design, stability, internal space and pipeline planning, comfort and weapon performance, etc., the overall backwardness made Britain, the most powerful naval power, very embarrassed!

So Zhu Bin was honored to be ranked third, and others, such as the Soviets. It would be very unwise to do so. If Britain loses its combat capability and surrenders without fighting, then Germany will sweep across Western Europe, then concentrate its efforts to fight and kill them. Therefore, Stalin was crazy and would not play such a thing.

The goal was determined. Churchill shouted in parliament, but the specific implementation details were not explained. In the final analysis, the game between countries depends on strength. Now Britain does not have the ability to fight on both sides!

The soft egg, Chief Chamberlain, had no choice but to comfort Germany, had already tried his best to calm down, but he still leaned towards the direction he least wanted to see and was out of control. Today, the London gold transaction was smashed down by a large order of 500 million US dollars. As the stolen vault was exposed, the gold price was suddenly unbearable. The gold obtained by the five major gold shops from South Africa was suddenly taken away, and the entire market was in chaos!

This is not over yet. When the London Metal Exchange, which is not far from them, received a large order when the market closed in the morning, it also received a quantity of $500 million. It almost wiped out the various strategic metals released on the market!

What’s strange is that this fund is specifically targeting several metal resources such as tin, aluminum, copper, lead, zinc and nickel. It’s not a big deal to ask for as much as possible, but there is no need for the bottom line. Only if you don’t want silver, not only do you want it, but there is another group of people who use unprecedented measures to release 10,000 tons of silver at one time!

Silver! Ten thousand, tons!

The amount of silver dollars equivalent to 400 million to 500 million yuan in the Republic of China, equivalent to 200 million US dollars, was suddenly smashed. Even though the London Exchange has been established for so many years, it is also a very rare large order! It is no less than the time when the Americans bought silver in 1934!

So the silver price was suddenly hit low!

It's not over yet! The silver in the morning was split and digested after several difficulties. As soon as the second trading time arrived, another order of 10,000 tons of silver fell! Now, no one could resist it! The price of silver plummeted, and the New York Wall Street market was martyred across the sea!

It is not just the problem of silver falling prices, strategic metals rising, and gold prices losing control. The key is that these large transactions are all selling US dollars, and they are either physical metals or pounds! The transaction amount of billions inside and outside is a huge order in the London market, which invisibly causes the credibility of the US dollar to be greatly damaged, while the pound is strangely stronger!

What's going on?

Everyone realized that something was wrong! No matter who was behind it, it was obvious that his purpose was to instigate the relationship between Britain and the United States. While both countries lost gold, they deliberately suppressed the US dollar and raised the pound, which was equivalent to openly helping the pound to regain the share of the world influence stolen by the US dollar. In short, it would be of great benefit to the UK. But the problem is that if the British lose gold reserves, just like this, it would be a drop in the bucket!

Churchill was only one step away from the Prime Minister, so he knew more than ordinary people. The financial storm started so fiercely, without any signs. He said it was not a conspiracy, so who would believe it!

Unfortunately, no one can answer the questions he raised, and no one can come up with a solution. The British Empire in the past waved his hand casually, and the world trembled. Now, it has been greatly weakened!

Even if you choose one of the three goals, it depends on whether you have the strength. A war between the two sides is set off? The United States was first ruled out, Zhu Bin? It seems that he is in the world siege, and it is better to take advantage of the situation. But the problem is that Britain can't take care of it. If he annoyed that guy and was caught by him, he killed the Far East Fleet, Britain would be dead if it loses Asian colonies. Who dares to take this risk?

Then it's Germany! Anyway, war has been declared, so it's nothing to add another guilt. It seems that it seems feasible?

The MPs were quarreling and could not make conclusions for a long time. In fact, most people did not want to make conclusions, because once they were determined, they had to prepare their troops to travel to the European continent and formally fight against Germany!

In the afternoon, Admiral William Fletz Canaris, the spy leader in Hitler's office, stood upright across from the head of state's desk, waiting for questioning expressionlessly.

Hitler's small parting was still **. After looking down at the brief report, he took off his glasses, with a hint of fanaticism in his eyes. He stared at William in his unique dry and cracked voice and asked: "William, do you think these two golden robberies are true? Is it true that someone is attacking the UK?"

"Yes! Head of State! With our intelligence analysis, this is by no means a smoke bomb they released! The British lost control of their gold market, which is the best proof!"

William Canaris's powerful answer, as if he was stating iron facts, was convincing.

Hitler nodded slowly. He raised his hand and put up a strand of hair that he had thrown up, stood up and walked back and forth behind the chair with his hands in his back. The Nazi flag that was inserted obliquely, and his large oil paintings in the center became his moving background when he was the supreme leader. If taken, it would definitely be a masterpiece that would make the teenagers of the Empire crazy tout!

"Four hundred tons of gold is indeed a big number! If it weren't for the empire, I would have wanted to sell a little to disrupt them!"

Hitler said to himself nervously, his voice so low that he could hardly hear it. Fortunately, the time was not long, so he turned around and returned to the table, looked at the numbers and analysis results listed above, twitched slightly, and suddenly slapped the table hard, and shouted: "Very good! We can't miss a good opportunity to hit the British!"

William Canaris was refreshed. Did the Head of State make up his mind so quickly? Good thing, that means they have better work!

Hitler suddenly returned to his usual long-term expression to everyone, raised his right hand and pointed at the void and raised his tone: "Although they deliberately raised the price of gold while suppressing the US dollar, and also helped the British pound to stabilize its status, this is not in line with the interests of the empire, but forgot it, we will do the rest ourselves! Dear William, I will let someone release our dollar reserves too. In addition, those silver is useless, all of them are released. I want to see how the Americans and the British should deal with it! Haha!"

His hearty laughter echoed in the wide office, which made William feel a sense of respect.

During his years of getting along with him, it was rare to see Hitler so happy. So long after the last war, the former Army Corporal climbed to the top of the empire, but in his heart, he was resentful of the British looking down on him. He was even more angry at the Americans' actions that took the blame.

This time, someone finally took the lead and gave the two hooligans a blow. Mr. Adolf would never mind being able to come over and over again!

After laughing, Hitler stared at William again and said, "You must closely monitor the British's reactions! If you force them to speed up their actions and send troops early, I will not be surprised!"

William Canaris stood attentively nodded: "Yes! Please rest assured, the Head of State! We will not let go of any clues!"

Hitler waved his hand with satisfaction and asked him to retreat, then sat back into the chair by himself, lowered his head and began to ponder.

His actions were indeed as decisive as he was. That afternoon, before the third transaction with the metal exchange ended, Germany's assisted punch came!

The first wave was a 200 million US dollar buying, which was smashed against gold and strategic metals, causing the already unstable market to fluctuate again and the price was out of control; the second wave was a release of 20,000 tons of silver at one time, and the settlement was openly carried out in pounds or gold, which once again forced the already loose pound exchange rate to the forefront, and the price of silver plummeted and was out of control!

Crazy! It's all crazy!

The Germans' open actions seemed to have opened Pandora's box. Representatives of countries, consortiums and banks, and even people from the United States, France, and Italy, all rushed to participate. Before the closing of the afternoon, they beat the stable ratio of the US dollar to gold on the spot. Silver is out of salvation!

This has to be said that the nature of the bankers has brought huge trouble to the storm! They have no moral integrity and only see profits, no country or nation. As long as the market is optimistic about is profitable, no matter where the disaster occurs, they will rush forward without hesitation. As for the country that suffers? Who cares!

The reaction speed of the US stock market was almost synchronized. There was a mess in the UK, and there was no one to protect the market. The stock price involved in silver mines plummeted, gold buying rose sharply, and people even shorted the US dollar exchange rate. They were all from the US company and its own brokerage firm!

Roosevelt never expected that things would go to such an extent. While questioning Wall Street boss Rockefeller and Morgan, he asked them to stabilize the stock market first and never collapse. In addition, they urgently called consultants and think tanks to find solutions! It is not scary to simply deal with the US economy, but it is completely different if the Germans join in! With their second largest economy in the world, their terrible gold reserves, and their crazy momentum of action, if one or two people are not good, the United States will suffer a big loss!

Good solution? No. Economic problems must be solved first by economic means. Unless the United States wants to generalize isolationism and actively participate in the world war, it will not be considered if it sends troops. Then, without using force, it is necessary to defeat these speculators in the financial market. It seems that it is not difficult to achieve with the strong economic strength of the United States.

But the question is, is it really not difficult to deal with greedy bankers and financiers around the world? Especially when the US gold reserves are really stolen?

Everyone knows that once the price comparison between the US dollar and gold is out of control, the stable forces established by the United States for decades will inevitably undergo a major fluctuation. If you want to earn it back, you must participate in the war. But now, it is not a good time for the team!
Chapter completed!
