Chapter 473 The Great Gold Deal, Chaotic Situation, Herbert's Fury
October 1995, Vancouver, Canada.
A massive explosion occurred at a construction site of a Mitsubishi Estate residential complex, resulting in the deaths of more than ten people.
Vancouver local news reports that this is a feud between gangs and has nothing to do with Mitsubishi Properties.
At the same time, an explosion occurred in San Francisco, at a property owned by another company under the Mitsubishi family.
Bang!
"You idiots! Are you all stupid pigs? Are you all blind?"
Mitsubishi Tomohiro stood in the main hall of the ancestral home, shouting angrily.
Because the people in charge of the Mitsubishi family who were stationed overseas were all idiots, the gold was all stolen in less than a day after it was transferred out of the vault.
In Vancouver alone, 74 and a half tons of gold were stolen.
Cities such as Kuala Lumpur, San Francisco, Boston, Taipei, Frankfurt, Madrid, and Berlin were also looted.
Yes, the Mitsubishi family's overseas gold reserves total a staggering 560 tons.
Such a large amount of gold reserves is truly astonishing.
While not as large as Mitsui Bank, Mitsubishi Bank's gold reserves are indeed comparable to those of a large country; most countries don't even have that much gold.
Unfortunately, due to the actions of the Federal Reserve, the Mitsubishi family made a wrong decision, resulting in all of their gold being stolen.
The theft of over 500 tons of gold is a major blow to Mitsubishi Bank.
If not handled properly, it could be fatal.
"What are you all still standing here for? Why aren't you going to find the gold? Are you all dead?"
Seeing that Mitsubishi Hidekazu, Yamazaki Yuzu, and the others were still standing there dumbfounded, Mitsubishi Tomohiro became even angrier.
This group of people is truly hopeless.
"Hi!"
Yamazaki Yu and the others quickly bowed at a 90-degree angle and then slowly left the hall.
In an instant, the entire ancestral house was deserted.
"Who exactly is going against the Mitsubishi family? Is it the Federal Reserve?"
Mitsubishi Tomohiro was momentarily at a loss.
Compared to the Mitsubishi family, the Mitsui family was in even worse shape, feeling extremely angry and frustrated, yet daring not to resist.
The Morgan family is determined to be bandits, and the Mitsui family can't do anything about it.
Because they also cannot fully explain the origin of all the gold.
Although a considerable portion of the gold was entrusted by the Want Want Group to be stored in their Mitsui Bank by those middlemen, this is only a portion of the gold.
Their Mitsui Bank itself is not clean; a considerable number of its gold miners are of dubious origin and it is difficult to clear their names.
why?
Because some of the gold is a legacy issue from history.
After Japan's defeat in World War II, the Mitsui family was naturally unwilling, since they had devoted the entire family's resources to the war effort.
Even if they cannot accept such a defeat, they have to accept it.
So they buried the gold on the spot overseas, especially in Luzon, and then killed all the people who buried it.
In this way, no one would know where the gold was actually hidden.
The Mitsui family, however, was well-prepared, as they had planned this in advance.
This gold will be the capital for the Mitsui family's future resurgence.
that's the truth.
After the 1950s, war broke out on the Silla Peninsula, and the Mitsui family seized the opportunity to rise to power.
At that time, some people suggested going to Luzon Island to dig up gold.
But I was rejected because the time wasn't right.
It wasn't until the 1970s that this gold was slowly unearthed.
However, due to the sheer number of cases, it would be extremely difficult for them to clear their names.
why?
In the 1970s, the global dollar base money was only a little over 80 billion US dollars.
At the time, gold was worth around $38 per ounce, and the Mitsui family buried more than 30 million ounces of gold in Luzon alone.
That's equivalent to about a billion US dollars.
At that time, this was a very large sum of money.
Whitewash?
It's easier said than done!
Because the Mitsui family is not part of the Want Want Group, all their actions in Japan are monitored by the Americans.
Why did the Americans, despite their long interrogation, fail to extract much gold from Japan?
After all, Japan once swept across East Asia and Southeast Asia, feasting to its heart's content.
They were being watched so closely that the Mitsui family dared not act recklessly.
Now, things have taken a turn for the worse. This portion of gold was originally stored in a vault and mixed with other gold, which allowed it to be concealed from everyone.
The problem is, it can't withstand a deeper investigation.
Ugh!
While turmoil is brewing in Japan, things remain calm on the Somali peninsula.
More accurately, it was filled with laughter and joy.
Because Damazin reached an agreement with the Saudi Crown Prince.
The warlords in Somalia can finally earn foreign exchange.
Furthermore, the contract offered by Ziad Bakri is a huge order worth $100 million a year, which is an absolutely enormous order for the Somali peninsula.
Desert greening technology is indeed very important to the Saudi Empire.
Because their country has a land area of 2.25 million square kilometers, but it is all desert and not suitable for habitation.
Although they have lived like this for thousands of years, they are now rich and naturally hope to see an oasis.
With this large order, Damazin can continue to recruit more soldiers.
The situation on the Somali peninsula will then be completely different.
But this was just speculation from the outside world. No one expected that after receiving the money, Damazin would not use it to recruit soldiers or purchase supplies.
Instead, they built laboratories and satellite launch bases.
Those who witnessed this scene were baffled as to what D'Amatozin was trying to do.
Whether they knew or not, Damazin had no idea; he was just a puppet, and all he had to do was follow orders.
London Gold Exchange, Great Britain.
"You have a large amount of gold to sell? How much exactly? What? Ten tons?"
As a gold trader at the gold exchange, Mills had seen his share of ups and downs, but for someone to suddenly offer ten tons of gold to sell was simply challenging his understanding.
Why are you shouting so loudly?
The gold seller rebuked him in dissatisfaction.
He was carrying out orders from above to launder the fifty tons of gold he possessed.
If you have too much gold, selling it all would be the best course of action.
However, it's impossible for so much gold to suddenly appear on the market.
Therefore, the process of cleaning and whitening gold becomes very particular.
Some of the gold was sold directly, since there was no need to hold onto so much gold.
Whether it's gold or banknotes, they are both forms of currency, and they need to be able to purchase resources.
"I'm sorry, I apologize, this is my fault."
Mills quickly clasped his hands together in apology, then excitedly asked where the gold was and how to trade it.
Next, we'll discuss the transaction details.
It seems that Mills is unaware that recently, companies like Mitsubishi Bank have had their vaults emptied, with hardly any gold left to be found.
The gold that was transferred out was all stolen.
But Mills was unaware that it seemed Mitsubishi Bank and other Japanese conglomerates were not planning to disclose this matter.
The arms trading team under the Want Want Group carried out the mission of robbing the gold.
The order was issued after the executive meeting concluded.
Therefore, this was something that all senior executives of the Want Want Group were aware of and involved in.
Xue Lisheng, Zheng Baoyin, Wang Jianchao, and others were all well aware of what Japan had done to us during World War II.
When they were young, their grandparents often talked about things from back then.
Even now, you can still find many photos and newspaper reports from the Republican era.
Therefore, Zheng Baoyin and his colleagues never showed any mercy when it came to dealing with petty people.
Especially the financial giants like Mitsubishi Bank, who were already capital behemoths, must have been deeply involved in World War II.
Therefore, there is absolutely no need to be soft-hearted when dealing with such executioners.
Hundreds or even thousands of tons of gold were all looted.
Furthermore, a significant portion of this gold was originally entrusted to a middleman family by the Want Want Group, who used it as collateral for loans from companies such as Mitsubishi Bank for safekeeping.
This was originally the gold of their Want Want Group.
However, now that we've taken it, things are about to get interesting.
The entire whitewashing process will also be simpler.
However, the methods used to whitewash the image must not be too crude, lest they arouse suspicion from Japanese companies such as Mitsubishi Bank.
Therefore, they had to leak the news in places like the London Gold Exchange, and this happened just two days after the gold rush.
This kind of reckless and self-destructive behavior at the height of controversy should at least rule out suspicion.
At the same time, in London, at the headquarters of Mitsubishi Bank.
A group of Mitsubishi Bank executives sat in the conference room looking as if they had lost their parents.
Their bank lost 108 tons of gold, the most of any of their overseas branches.
Shame on you!
"What do we do? Damn it, how did those robbers know about our gold? So suddenly, and when did they start targeting us?"
The vice president launched into a tirade of profanities.
However, this analysis is no different from hindsight.
Hidekazu Mitsubishi, the second-in-command of the Mitsubishi family at the Japanese headquarters, indeed issued an order very suddenly, requiring all branches of Mitsubishi Bank around the world to secretly transfer the gold from their vaults.
Logically speaking, no one would have thought of this at all, let alone come to rob us in advance.
But it has now become a fact; they have exploited the loophole.
They didn't suspect that Hidekazu Mitsubishi was the mole; only someone who had lost his mind would do such a thing.
Losing hundreds of tons of gold is certainly not as important as the position of the second-in-command in the Mitsubishi family.
Because the entire Mitsubishi family's assets far exceed several hundred tons of gold.
As long as the current head of the Mitsubishi family, Mitsubishi Tomohiro, dies, the entire Mitsubishi family will belong to him, Mitsubishi Hidekazu.
Therefore, he couldn't possibly be the mole.
Aside from the speculation of an inside job, the executives at Mitsubishi Bank's London headquarters couldn't think of any other explanation.
However, the Mitsubishi family's Japanese headquarters has not assigned anyone to handle the lost gold, because there are more important matters to attend to there.
This seemed like good news, giving executives at branches around the world a breather and seemingly a chance to recover the lost gold.
However, they have no idea where the gold has gone, so how are they supposed to find it?
How to do?
Just then, someone knocked on the door, entered the conference room, and reported some good news: someone was selling a large amount of gold on the London Stock Exchange!
Bang!
"Bagaya road!"
The CEO of the London headquarters slammed his fist on the table, glared angrily, and stood up in a fit of rage:
"It must be them. I didn't expect them to be so arrogant. They just stole our gold and immediately started selling it. They really don't respect us at all."
Upon hearing this, the other managers thought to themselves: They really don't take us seriously, and this move is even a blatant mockery.
"Quickly, quickly, immediately arrange for people to keep an eye on them. I must capture these people."
The president immediately issued the order.
The loss of gold carries a heavy responsibility, and none of these executives can escape it.
Since we're all in the same boat now, we have to work together.
Unfortunately, by the time they rushed to the London Gold Exchange, the people had already escaped.
Mills' gold purchase was stopped by Mitsubishi Bank staff who demanded an inspection.
In Mitsubishi Bank's view, given such a short period of time, they certainly didn't have time to melt down the gold, and the gold must have their Mitsubishi Bank's mark on it.
When they examined them all, they were astonished to find that none of the gold pieces bore the mark of Mitsubishi Bank.
All the gold nuggets were perfectly normal; some simply bore the mark of a certain white-glove family.
Therefore, this batch of ten tons of gold appears to be of legitimate origin.
"Fuck, investigate this family!"
Upon learning of this, the president of Mitsubishi Bank's London headquarters once again expressed his anger.
Then they arranged for someone to investigate this small family in London: the Jenkins family!
"You must prove where your gold actually came from."
The Jenkins family was furious upon hearing this:
"Fuck, who are you? What gives you the right to make such demands of us? Even the police wouldn't dare get involved in our affairs, so where did you idiots come from? What right do you have to make demands of us?"
This was a blatant offense, and the Jenkins family certainly wouldn't agree to it.
But Mitsubishi Bank, like a mad dog, wouldn't let go.
Then they quickly received another message: the London Gold Exchange had just reported that someone had successfully completed a transaction of five tons of gold.
Bagaya Road!
The people from Mitsubishi Bank were furious. They left some people behind to continue harassing the Jenkins family, demanding that the family hand over evidence of the gold's origin. Otherwise, the family would face the wrath of Mitsubishi Bank.
Given Mitsubishi Bank's influence in London, the Jenkins family was indeed not someone they could resist.
However, the Jenkins family is no longer what it used to be, and of course they will not back down easily.
British gentlemen value their reputation above all else.
In the past, even though they didn't have much money, they still wanted to appear wealthy and would have suits custom-made on Savile Row.
Now that the Jenkins family is wealthy, they value their reputation even more, so they certainly won't give in easily.
With the two sides deadlocked, Mitsubishi Bank, being a non-law enforcement agency, did not have the authority to demand that the Jenkins family yield.
However, at that moment, a special envoy from the Federal Reserve arrived after hearing the news.
The arrival of Rowan Morgan gave the president of Mitsubishi Bank a glimmer of hope for victory.
"Mr. Morgan, the situation is as follows."
The president of Mitsubishi Bank claimed that their bank's gold was being transported back to headquarters, but it was accidentally intercepted and stolen en route.
Moreover, this happened just twelve hours ago, not long ago.
But now the Jenkins family is putting up ten tons of gold for sale, which is definitely suspicious.
In London, who doesn't know that the Jenkins family has fallen on hard times?
They have shown signs of rising in recent years, but can their entire family produce ten tons of gold?
impossible!
But that's equivalent to 353,000 ounces of gold, or 136 million US dollars.
This is an absolutely enormous sum of money; the Jenkins family simply could not possibly come up with that much cash.
Even the president of Mitsubishi Bank questioned whether the Jenkins family actually possessed that many assets.
Therefore, the most likely scenario is that the Jenkins family was involved in the robbery, or at least in the money laundering process.
To be honest, this analysis makes a lot of sense.
Roland Morgan glanced at the Jenkins family members; they didn't seem like complete idiots.
However, he had to deal with the immediate matter first, and then deal with the issue of Mitsubishi Bank secretly transferring gold later.
"Can you produce any evidence?"
"Why?"
“If you cannot prove that the ten tons of gold are yours, then you cannot clear your name. I suspect you were involved in the robbery.”
"If we can produce evidence, shouldn't you give us an explanation?"
"Fine, what explanation does the Jenkins family want?"
"Compensate us with ten tons of gold!"
Fake!
Bagaya Road!
Upon hearing the Jenkins family's words, Rowland Morgan and the president of Mitsubishi Bank, among others, all blurted out curses.
Holy crap, that's way too greedy!
How dare the Jenkins family ask for ten tons of gold?
Mitsubishi Bank is definitely not willing to accept this; they would prefer an apology.
But the Jenkins family, of course, refused to back down.
How much is an apology worth?
The Jenkins family used to think that saving face was the most important thing, but now they've seen through it all. Money is the real face, the real hard currency; everything else is fake. After some concessions, Mitsubishi Bank agreed that if the Jenkins family could produce the necessary proof, they would give them two million pounds.
That's good enough!
However, the Jenkins family needs to see the money immediately, otherwise they will not provide evidence.
After a while, upon seeing two million pounds in cash, the head of the Jenkins family slowly produced the evidence.
It turns out that they had already earned one million pounds three years ago, and then invested it all in the stock market, turning it into three hundred million pounds in just three years.
The Jenkins family used a portion of this money to acquire gold mines.
Because of the gold mines, the Jenkins family was able to have a continuous flow of wealth, preventing their descendants from squandering their ancestral fortune.
To everyone's surprise, this gold mine in Central Africa actually produced a considerable amount of gold.
Furthermore, the price of gold in Africa is much lower than in London.
The Jenkins family also had capable members. They purchased large quantities of goods from a major country in the Far East, then exchanged them for gold in Africa, and finally transported the gold back to London.
Originally, all this gold was intended to be hidden away and not sold.
However, recently, the Jenkins family has encountered another development opportunity and needs to spend money to expand their business, which is why they chose to use this batch of gold.
All investment transactions are documented and traceable, including gold purchases; the Jenkins family certainly has the financial strength to do so.
Therefore, this whole thing is a smear campaign by Mitsubishi Bank against the Jenkins family.
When the truth came out, the president of Mitsubishi Bank's face instantly changed to one of disbelief.
Did they suspect the wrong person?
At this time, the investigation team at the London Gold Exchange also came back with their results: this batch of gold had no markings whatsoever.
"Damn it, we've fallen for their diversionary tactic!"
Even Roland Morgan, a Federal Reserve official, had a drastic change in expression.
So a group of people rushed to the London Gold Exchange, only to hear more bad news as soon as they entered.
Just three minutes ago, five more large-volume gold transactions were completed on the exchange.
The transactions involved gold in different quantities, such as eight tons, six tons, and ten tons, and most importantly, none of the gold was marked.
It seems like they're about to solve the case.
At this time, the entire London Gold Exchange was extremely busy, because the sudden influx of so much gold had caused the price of gold to plummet.
The price, which was originally $384 per ounce, has now fallen to only $360.
However, Roland Morgan and his team didn't care about the price of the gold; what they wanted to know was who had taken out this gold of unknown origin.
Unfortunately, nobody knows this anymore, and traders are unlikely to investigate the origins of gold.
Because traders only want to make money, they don't care about anything else.
Yes, everything needs to be done according to the rules, but it's impossible for a trader to remain calm when faced with low prices and large quantities of gold.
They only need to verify whether the gold is genuine; once it's confirmed to be real gold, they'll dare to buy it.
Even illegal transactions can be turned into legal ones.
As for why the source of the gold cannot be traced?
Hehe, we can only ask God.
Since the gold had no markings, they didn't know where it came from.
While Rowland Morgan was furious about this, several large transactions were taking place off the coast of Great Britain, near the docks.
These are all super-large US dollar transactions, with transaction amounts exceeding 200 million.
After the transaction was completed, the CIA agents arrived late, but unfortunately, they were unable to apprehend the person.
In addition, oil transactions are also taking place in the Gulf of Aden.
Around the world, a large number of super-large US dollar transactions seem to have suddenly erupted in the past week.
At this crucial moment, the Federal Reserve, targeting a Japanese family, mobilized a large number of intelligence agents and Navy SEALs to Japan.
This has created manpower shortages in other areas.
The super dollar factory took this opportunity to successfully ship more than 50 billion super dollars.
As a result, this year's super dollar shipment target has been exceeded.
At the year-end summary meeting, Martinez's task was simply to ship 100 billion US dollars.
As a result, shipments have now exceeded 200 billion US dollars.
They were all replaced with gold, oil, food, minerals, etc.
Yes, all the super dollars need to be directly exchanged for resources or gold.
Because gold is a hard currency and the only commodity that can be quickly laundered through gold mines.
Want Want Group has purchased a number of gold mines around the world. The annual output value of a gold mine is only one or two tons, but it was then changed to three or four tons.
This is how money is laundered.
All the gold that was mined was traded out, becoming truly clean money.
As for paying taxes?
We all learn from the Americans; there are just too many ways to avoid taxes.
For example, the Jenkins family would use this money to buy large quantities of cheap grain from North America, then ship it to a major country in the Far East or other places, and then ship back large quantities of industrial products from that major country in the Far East.
For example, bicycles, mobile phones, computers, etc.
These products are very popular in Africa.
In this transaction, the profits from selling gold remained in a large country in the Far East because customs duties had to be paid, and the Jenkins family also invested in real estate and factories in that country.
Products such as mobile phones shipped to Africa will soon be converted into gold and then shipped back to London.
It seems that the Jenkins family did not make any money in this process.
But in reality, it's not that simple to calculate. The accountant has to deduct the exact amount of money earned bit by bit.
The Jenkins family has indeed invested in factories, real estate, and other assets in a major country in the Far East.
In today's era of economic globalization, a certain large country in the Far East is a rising and massive economy.
There are indeed many foreign investors with a long-term vision, like the Jenkins family.
However, it is extremely rare for a family like the Jenkins family to invest almost all of their profits in a major country in the Far East.
Therefore, from this perspective, the Jenkins family does not seem to have made any profit, since their 'profits' have all been converted into investments in a major country in the Far East.
If they need money, they can easily get a loan from a bank.
Maple Leaf Holdings owns many banks, such as Lord of the Rings Bank.
This bank is a medium-sized bank in London, and it also has many branches in Asia, such as in Singapore, Hong Kong, Taipei, Tokyo, Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou, Harbin, Chongqing, and Wuhan.
Therefore, this bank is also a multinational financial giant.
The Jenkins family could easily obtain a loan from the Bank of the Ring in a major country in the Far East, and then withdraw the money from London or elsewhere.
It's so convenient!
There are many steps involved in laundering money, and there are also many channels.
Therefore, even though Want Want Group made over 600 billion US dollars from this counterfeit currency, it was easy to launder the money, and that's why.
However, this year, shipments exceeded 200 billion US dollars, and profits were over 180 billion US dollars.
With such a large amount of funds and such a massive allocation of resources, it is easy to arouse suspicion from the outside world if not handled carefully.
However, Want Want Group still has many options. After all, it has grown strong and has a global network of resources that can be deployed at any time.
Together with internet giants Facebook and Amazon, they control the current power of new media.
Furthermore, the existence of Nuwa's artificial intelligence can, to some extent, monitor the world.
Therefore, even if an emergency occurs, it can be detected immediately.
North America, Washington, D.C., CIA headquarters building.
Beckbarnes received the message, but his expression remained unchanged.
"Fuck, I knew they would cause trouble, but unfortunately they're all in Japan right now, so we can only watch helplessly."
Upon hearing this, Prometheus, who was standing in front of him, twitched at the corner of his mouth.
A few days ago, the Federal Reserve requested that personnel be sent to Tokyo, even though it was Prometheus who was blocking it.
Hopefully, the Federal Reserve will send special forces personnel like Navy SEALs to Japan for the mission, rather than their intelligence agents.
But Beckbarnes stubbornly refused to listen, believing it was a great opportunity to gain significant credit.
After all, the Federal Reserve has already suspected Japanese zaibatsu such as Mitsui Bank and has obtained a large amount of gold hidden in their overseas branch vaults, which is enough to prove that they may be the supporters behind the counterfeit money group.
Even if it isn't, you can still make a quick buck.
It's worth noting that George Herbert gave him three months to solve the Super Dollar case and bring the counterfeit money ring to justice.
Therefore, he is unlikely to let go of any opportunity to make money.
But now he shamelessly takes the deduction that originally belonged to Prometheus and applies it to himself, and he does so right in front of Prometheus.
This person has absolutely no shame.
unacceptable!
Ding Ding!
Just then, the phone on my desk rang.
Beckbarnes answered the phone, and then a huge roar came from the other end, so loud that he had to hold the phone away from his ear.
The call was from a superior, from President George Herbert.
Why was George Herbert so angry?
Because a large number of super-large US dollar transactions occurred simultaneously in South America, Latin America, Africa, Southeast Asia, Europe and other places, a lot of super-large US dollars appeared in a very short period of time.
Overseas testing agencies have already discovered relevant intelligence information. Not only the CIA received the information, but other intelligence agencies also discovered it.
It's unclear who it was that beat George Herbert to it, which led to this phone call.
"If you can't handle this, then you should resign."
George Herbert is now completely disillusioned with Beckbarnes.
And they no longer held any hope.
"Mr. President, please let me explain. Most of our intelligence agents have already gone to Tokyo. We simply don't have enough manpower."
Beckbarns immediately became furious.
He won't take the blame, and he can't afford to.
You have to understand, this is the abyss! He's more wronged than Dou E.
How can he stop it if there's no one around?
Even if you cut him into several pieces, it would still be very difficult to do.
It's important to understand that this counterfeit money ring is clearly coming on strong. Although it's unclear whether it's a provocation by a Japanese conglomerate, it's definitely not related to Japan.
George Herbert frowned immediately:
"What did you say? Why didn't I know about this?"
"Oh, yes, I did report this to you."
"What happened in Tokyo?"
"Mr. President, it's like this. We previously discovered that Mitsui Bank's overseas branches have a lot of gold reserves, exceeding their own gold reserves."
Beckbarnes quickly re-explained.
It's highly likely that George Herbert simply forgot. After all, he was the president, with countless responsibilities and too many things to remember.
"We suspected at the time that this gold was either connected to a counterfeit money ring or was gold left over from before World War II, which originally belonged to us."
The total amount of gold in the world is finite, and the annual production is also finite.
A gold reserve of over a thousand tons is truly terrifying.
The financial companies of Japan's zaibatsu, such as Mitsui Bank, Mitsubishi Bank, Dai-Ichi Kangyo Bank, Japan Post Bank, Sumitomo Trust Bank, and Shinsei Bank, have accumulated more than 5,000 tons of gold reserves overseas.
It's worth noting that Japan's domestic gold reserves already exceeded 500 million ounces last year.
That's equivalent to 14,000 tons of gold.
There are more than 5,000 tons of gold overseas. One can only imagine where they got so much gold from.
After all, the United States doesn't have as much gold as Japan. Well, officially speaking, the United States' gold reserves are only 450 million ounces.
Therefore, this discovery naturally left the Japanese conglomerates with nowhere to hide.
If it's a counterfeit money ring, then without a doubt, the money will be confiscated, and they will be severely punished.
However, if it is gold from before World War II, it will also be confiscated directly, and there will be penalties.
Whether it was hidden on Luzon Island or some small island in Southeast Asia before World War II, it was all American gold.
It's important to remember that the United States dropped two atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which ended the world war in Asia.
The United States was going to take over that wealth, but the Japanese were too cunning; they hid most of the funds.
As a result, a considerable amount of gold and other valuables were never found.
Therefore, the gold held by Japanese conglomerates such as Mitsui Bank, regardless of its origin, will eventually be taken back by the United States.
"Ok!"
After listening, George Herbert finally cleared his head a bit and realized that this was a great opportunity.
They can manipulate Japan while simultaneously reaping profits.
However, whether these gold pieces can be retrieved smoothly is uncertain, as Japan is quite cunning.
"Since there was a reason for this, I won't hold you accountable for your mistake this time, but you must take responsibility for this matter immediately and crack down on the counterfeit money ring as soon as possible."
"For God's sake, if you really can't do it, I can't protect you. You'd better take care of yourself."
His tone was so harsh that it nearly stopped Beckbarnes' heart.
There was nothing that could be done; George Herbert was very angry, and what he said was, of course, very harsh.
The United States has indeed suffered heavy losses because of this counterfeit money ring case.
Although, on the surface, the only thing that has been lost so far is the dollar hegemony system.
Anyway, the Americans have plenty of money and aren't afraid of these losses. Inflation is inflation, as long as the capitalists' money increases, what happens to others is irrelevant.
However, the counterfeit money ring has really angered George Herbert, and the Federal Reserve and other institutions are also very annoyed, but they are helpless to do anything about it, which is really frustrating.
Beckbarnes, who used to boast about his abilities, well, he had only been the director of the CIA for less than three years, so it's normal that he didn't manage things well.
However, accidents can happen again and again.
This has resulted in the counterfeit money ring case dragging on for five or six years, with the counterfeit money ring shipping over two hundred billion US dollars this year alone.
Good heavens, that's over two hundred billion US dollars! Last year, the US GDP was seven.29 trillion US dollars.
Austria's GDP is $202.7 billion, and Sweden's is $228.7 billion.
In other words, a counterfeit money ring can ship the equivalent of the amount of counterfeit currency in Austria or Sweden in a year.
so horrible!
To be honest, George Herbert always wanted to get rid of Beckbarnes.
However, this matter is not so simple. If someone else were to take over as the director of the intelligence agency, the situation would likely be similar.
Therefore, it's better to use cooked food than raw food.
The only thing we can do is push Beckbarnes harder, make him seize the time, unleash his full potential, and maybe he'll actually break through?
"Yes, Mr. President, I understand. Don't worry, I certainly won't let you down."
Beckbarnes quickly expressed his determination, emphasizing the importance of flattery.
After hanging up the phone, he touched the cold sweat on his forehead; his back was already soaked.
However, he couldn't worry about that at the moment. He immediately ordered Prometheus to send top agents to South America as soon as possible.
“South America is the most chaotic place, and counterfeit money syndicates are most likely to set up their factories here. This time, you are sending a top agent there. You must be extremely cautious and not make any moves until you are absolutely certain.”
"If word gets out, I might have to resign, but you'll be in big trouble too!"
Prometheus nodded; he was already immune to such words.
The case of the counterfeit money ring has been going on for quite some time.
If it were any other way, they would have caught them long ago.
Unfortunately, in America, money can buy almost anything.
This place can't be checked, that place can't be checked.
Besides, the CIA is primarily responsible for external intelligence work and doesn't interfere with domestic surveillance and intelligence gathering within the United States.
Another bunch of huskies in the FBI, easily bribed and even causing trouble for the CIA while on overseas missions.
It's absolutely despicable.
In Prometheus's view, whether it's the CIA, the FBI, or even the NSA, there must be moles within their ranks.
Some intelligence has been completely hidden or destroyed.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible to go five or six years without a single clue.
In fact, Prometheus was unaware that Beckbarnes was also selling information.
Over the past period, he has earned nearly 80 million US dollars by selling intelligence.
This money is fucking easy to make.
He wanted to earn it even faster because the power he held was about to expire.
Threatened daily by his superiors and facing the possibility of being fired at any moment, Beckbarnes naturally wanted to cash out as soon as possible. (End of Chapter)
