C1160 Queens Road Robbery (1/2)
The countless number of boat sent the various warships' Captain to the St. Peter, of course it was impossible for all the Captain s to participate in the meeting. The majority of them were the twelve main battleship s, and there were three frigate s with the highest level.
Within the spacious Captain's Room, smoke quickly started to swirl around. The opened vodka and whiskey were placed on the table, the officer leaned back in his chair and swirled the alcohol, listening to the latest news from EdStefanski.
Molière was merely the French side's intelligence coordinator. He did not have the rights to attend such a high-level meeting, but inside the guard room beside the Captain's Room, he could use the copper pipe to listen to the entire meeting.
Molière had to rely on his two subordinates that were whispering translators to be able to catch up to him. When he heard the shocked voices of fifteen Captain in the room, he laughed, laughed extremely happily.
”Since ancient times, money and money have always been fascinating. These polar bears are truly too poor. If ten tons of gold still can't move them, then I'll dig my eyes out …”
”Sir...” Wasn't this information a bit out of place? Ten tons of gold! Is it possible that with Xiao Letian's financial resources … ”
”Is that possible? Please don't use a rhetorical question, please use a positive sentence... ” Molière sneered, ”Xiao Letian is as cunning as a fox. He had long seen the difference in gold and silver prices between Europe and Asia, and had also long understood the game of silver arbitrage that we have been playing …”
”He forged silver coins and issued negotiable bonds. In the end, he wanted to be the first one to excavate more resources from the Qing Empire. The main reason is because of the gold reserves …”
”The Japanese Islands has many gold and silver mines. As far as I know, all the gold ores in Japan have already been controlled by the Fusang Bank. As long as the gold is smelted out, it will immediately be transported away. ”Before, I really didn't know, but now, I finally understand, Xiao Letian really dug many treasure caves in the Pacific Ocean …”
The subordinate continued, ”I'm sorry, but I'm still a bit suspicious. Is this information true? This, this, this... This is a little too bizarre! ”
”Hehe …” ”The latest news from Hong Kong, this is information spat out by a big fish, its credibility is very high …”
What Molière said was not wrong. 12 hours ago, a sudden accident occurred in the Southern Bank of Victoria Bay, which was the most prosperous region on Hong Kong Island.
Suddenly, three figures dashed out of the alleyway on the most bustling Queen's Avenue. One of them was covered in blood, while the other's arms were filled with food. Occasionally, one or two silver coins would drop to the ground.
The third person was even more valiant. In his hand was a sharp knife with a similar bloodstain on it.
Du du du... The copper whistle of the police was blowing shrilly. The early colonial police were chasing after them with their truncheons in one hand and circular shield made of rattan in the other. They were wearing bamboo hats.
”Catch him!” Catch the robber... They looted the gold mine... ”Capture bandits …”
When the citizens heard it was a bandit, they scattered out of fright. The security of the golden shop was tight, these three brothers actually dared to rob them by day, they could only tell that it was the Bandit, only fools would help.
People on the street dodged one after another, while the policemen behind were panting heavily. Even the reinforcements were getting tired, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that these old geezers didn't have the energy to chase them. They were just killing time.
Not long after, the sound of leather boots trampling on stone slabs could be heard on the street. Perhaps the robbery was more serious, so it alerted the nearby British soldiers. Many important intersections of Queen Street were sealed off.
