Chapter 648： Spanish Gold (3)

Spain, Madrid, train station.

The entire train station has been under martial law. The soldiers guarding the train station with live ammunition are soldiers from the international column sent by the Soviet Union. At this time, their expressions are a little nervous, watching the cars and driving over.

"Quick, quick!" They yelled loudly, the car stopped on the platform, and soldiers sent by the government army were carrying the wooden boxes on the car onto the train.

This group of soldiers is a little strange about this, because the general handling work is done by workers. Can use them as porters, it seems that these boxes are quite important. These boxes are not big, but they are quite heavy. What are they?

Although the soldiers are quite curious, they still know the rules of the army. This is not under their control, they are just here to do the work.

It can be seen from this that the Spanish government attaches great importance to this transportation. It does not allow ordinary people to take over any work at all. The whole process is in the hands of the military, and except for a small number of officers who know a small part of the situation, the average soldier even himself I don't know what is in the box in my hand.

"Hey." A soldier suddenly tilted his foot, and the wooden box on his shoulder fell heavily, and a corner fell on the stone floor of the platform.

"Wow!" The lid of the box was opened, and the goods inside were scattered like this. In an instant, all the soldiers carrying them stopped.

Under the shining of the sun, it is golden, and inside, there are actually gold bars!

If you can have such a stick, you will be rich in your life.

"Bang!" At this moment, a clear gunshot came.

A responsible officer took out his pistol and fired a shot into the sky. This shot was a warning.

"Keep working, you can't stop!"

The Soviet officer's face was rather severe, and his silent warning was so obvious that anyone who moved his mind would die.

The soldier who had just fallen off the box immediately bent over and put all the gold back into the box in a hurry.

In the distance, a small two-story building.

A telescope that had been set up a long time ago was placed behind the window and concealed by the curtain. Now, the man behind the telescope took his eyes away from the telescope, and said to the other person: "Immediately notify and follow this. A train, determine its destination."

His appearance is not good, his height is only about 1.7 meters, and he can't be found in the crowd. However, he is one of the leaders of this investigation mission, Barekley, one of the good hands of the Romanian intelligence service.

He was born in Arad, Transylvania. In his youth, he was dissatisfied with his family living in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. When Romania and Austria-Hungary were at war, Arad personally led the way. After Transylvania returned to Romania, Arad signed up for the army.

However, when making the selection, his sharp mind and calm personality were valued by the intelligence department and joined the Romanian intelligence department. In the past few years in the intelligence department, he has repeatedly won credit. He is already a capable man of the Romanian intelligence department, so he was sent to Spain by Holmonkman to ensure that this operation is not flawed.

After loading all the wooden boxes on the train, everyone immediately stood far away, because the train had its own guard.

There are a total of ten carriages, each of which is guarded by more than a dozen soldiers wearing international column uniforms. The guns they held in their hands were quite special. The wooden **** and the magazine in the front turned into a round cake-shaped thing. There were many vents on the front barrel.

Their eyes are quite sharp, and they are sharp in every battle.

The Soviet internal guards! They are now wearing the costumes of the International Column and came to Madrid. They have no interest at all to participate in the battle here. They have only one task to protect these cargoes safely on board the ship.

"Woohoo." The front of the steam locomotive sounded the siren, and the wheels of the locomotive slowly moved in the sound of wheezing steam.

This train full of gold started to move.

In addition to the soldiers in each carriage, the last section is a flatbed truck. There is also a team of soldiers with live ammunition. On the outside of the flatbed truck, piles of sandbags are piled up, and in the middle of the flatbed truck is a 25mm anti-aircraft gun.

Yes, it is the anti-aircraft artillery. This is a temporary decision to install it. They are quite concerned about this action and strive to do the best in all aspects.

In the middle carriage, a man with a cold face was smoking a cigarette silently.

"Report, the train has left the station, and no abnormalities have been found for the time being. There are also soldiers from our international column along the way who are responsible for guarding." A deputy told him.

Alexander Lornov, a senior official of the People's Committee of the Interior of the Soviet Union and the person in charge of the Spanish **** of the gold operation, did not dare to be careless at this time.

"Let our people monitor along the way, and the train will also change its route from time to time." Alexander said.

As the person in charge, Lornov did not relax at all for this transportation task, because before coming, Minister Yezhov personally explained to him the importance of this task. Now that the ministers have said the importance of this mission to the Soviet Union, Lornov, as a subordinate, will naturally not be slack in the slightest.

Everyone responsible for guarding is not allowed to leave the train, and for the front position that is easy to be controlled, there must be no less than two escorts for 24 hours.

Under such strict protection, the train flew all the way towards the destination Valencia.

...

"Woo." The train honked its whistle and drove into the station.

Inside the train, there was an unpleasant smell. In the past two days, they have circumvented almost half of Spain. The disadvantage is that they are almost falling apart in the past two days. The strongest fighters will collapse if they hold back in the train for a few days.

The advantage is that they finally transported the gold in this carriage to the port safely.

Pushing open the door of the train, a fresh smell of sea breeze blows over, and everyone feels more comfortable.

"Quick, quick, quick!" At this moment, Lornov's eyes were all bloodshot. In the past few days, he has changed the route many times, and finally transported the gold to the port without fail.

Now, there is only one last thing left, take these gold on board!

The train drove directly to the port, and there was a distance of hundreds of meters from the train bay in the port to the Soviet cargo ship Eugene moored on the dock.

There is one last thing left.

Lornov cheered up. He knew that he couldn't relax his vigilance now. Maybe those guys would come here to grab it? More than 500 tons of gold, this is a figure that makes countless people crazy.

Moreover, the work of transportation is very slow.

Standing at one of the highest points of the dock, Lornov personally supervised the handling. This was the final task.

As long as the gold is carried on the cargo ship, Lornov's mission is over.

At the same time, in order to prevent accidents, the cargo ship Eugene will never act on its own. The Soviet destroyer Wrath has arrived here at the same time. When it returns, it will provide protection along the way.

In fact, the scale of this destroyer is a bit small. If the news that Eugene had transported gold leaked out, it might attract more coveters. However, this destroyer represents the Soviets, and an attack on this warship means a declaration of war on the Soviet Union.

And only has this one, and it will not attract the attention of other countries. If a large number of warships are sent magnanimously, other countries will definitely be the first to be vigilant. On the contrary, the gold cannot be shipped out, which is why the Soviet Union did not use the previous fleet of weapons and equipment to transport it. Too big is not a good thing, it is too noticeable.

The most worried thing is the land. As long as he gets on the ship and leaves the port, Lornov can breathe a sigh of relief.

He didn't know that at this time, a few kilometers away from the port, on the roof of a small building, someone was already observing here.

"That's right, the Soviets, as expected, they unloaded and loaded the ship from here." Facing the sea breeze, he carefully observed this side with a binoculars, and Holmonkman sat down with a relaxed expression.

In order to ensure the smooth progress of the operation this time, Holmonkman came all the way by plane. After finally seeing this batch of gold on the ship, Holmonkman's heart was stabilized.

For this batch of gold, Romania almost mobilized. Finally waited for them in Valencia. Next, the intelligence needs to be handed over to the military. You must know that the military has sent a lot of ships for this operation.
