Chapter 162： : The Germans are here

Jiang Hao looked at the crowd and said, "You need to know that you must learn to judge the situation at any time. I can tell you explicitly that I don't like Italy, Mussolini, or even the mythical German head. "

"If they fail, what will happen to Italy and Germany? I think you will imagine. At that time, Lira and Mark will become waste paper, and all our previous efforts will be completely useless."

"If it weren't for gold control, I would have preferred to exchange all of them for gold. All the gold jewellery I got from Tunisia was given to the Germans and the Italian Navy. Don't you see them now? They don't like paper money."

After a while, Jiang Hao, with Fabio, Cassani and others, ran through the banks of Palermo and tried to convert the lira into U.S. dollars and pounds, but Palermo was still a little younger, and they ran to the inland again. In Naples, this is where all the cash is exchanged.

The organization's money is about 8 million lira, and it was finally exchanged for 500,000 US dollars. Jiang Hao ’s personal 10 million lira was exchanged for more than 600,000 US dollars. This is the current exchange rate. There is no way. It looks like a lot. Not much.

As for the German mark, absolutely not.

There is a story in the later generations. After the defeat of Germany, an American journalist told Germany to perform an interview task, exchange the mark at the bank, and take out 5 dollars. currency."

"How much can that be exchanged for."

"It can only be exchanged for three dollars."

The money of a bank can only be exchanged for three dollars. It is conceivable that the value of the German mark at that time, and now the German mark is called the golden mark, and the exchange rate with the US dollar is 2.5 marks to 1 dollar.

Time never rests, and by the end of the summer of 1942,

The smoke was still permeating, the World War was in full swing, the Germans and the British started a tug-of-war in North Africa, and Rommel and Montgomery achieved their reputation here.

Jiang Hao knew that in a month or two, the famous Alaman battle would occur. This battle was also known as the Battle of the Turning Point in the North African Battlefield. It began on October 23 and lasted for 12 days. The German army was defeated and expelled. Egypt, retreating to Tunisia.

I am afraid that at that time, his smuggling business will not be done well. He once again convened a group of his staff to meet and requested that the tobacco reserves be tightened in the near future. At least, the goods could not be fully stocked before Germany showed its failure.

At this time, Jiang Hao's organization has a total of 1,000 formal members, and more than 3,000 peripheral personnel.

During this time, Jiang Hao also obtained a large number of weapons and ammunition through the German and Italian troops. In addition to the necessary equipment, everything was stored, including rifles, machine guns, grenades, and some heavy weapons, such as mortars and high-purity explosives. Wait.

The pace of history is surprisingly consistent, or in other words, this is basically the original history. The Battle of Allaman broke out, the German defeated the North, the German head saw the crisis, and immediately ordered the army to go to Sicily. At this time, a large number of German troops poured in.

On that day, while Jiang Hao was reading in the study, Basali came over to report, "Boss, the German said he wanted to see you."

"German, do you know why you want to see me?" Jiang Hao put down the book and asked.

"It should be for cigarettes."

"The Germans are going to host a reception and invite big businessmen from Sicily. I think they are likely to want to attack the merchants and let us obediently supply them." Basari said.
