Chapter 523： ‘Fish’ plan

Churchill left the Chancellery almost full of face. He knew that from the perspective of the French, it was no problem for them to choose this way. After all, the French have always been arrogant. In their own plans, they must take all the French The transfer of the army to Britain and leaving the French territory to the Germans to ravage it is definitely not possible.

Since the French did not intend to save these troops, they had to rely on themselves. Churchill had a dark face. After leaving the Chancellery, he immediately took a plane and returned to London. He endured the torture of physical disability and entered the madness of work. In, save the army still remaining on the European continent!

Churchill has left, and a meeting to determine the fate of France has also ended.

Coming out of the conference room, the Minister of Finance Lucien-Ramolay was worried. He got into his carriage and soon came to a secret manor on the outskirts of Paris.

Here, he once again met his friend, the President of the Bank of France, Pi-Fournière. At this time, neither of them had any thoughts and went straight to the topic.

"How are our gold preparations?" Lucien asked.

"According to your instructions, now, we have transferred all the gold quickly and secretly to the coastal ports of Toulon, Brest and Le Vere. Now, we are waiting for orders."

Fournière swallowed and said, "All, a total of 2,226 tons, of which, the gold in the port of Brest is the most, with 1,465 tons of gold."

Now, the vaults of other banks in France are empty, including the Bank of France in Paris. All gold has been secretly transferred to these three ports, ready to be shipped away at any time!

This gold can be said to be the wealth that France has accumulated over the years! It has been stockpiled before the colonial period, and only now have these precious wealth.

Even during the pirate period.

From these three ports, the gold will be secretly sent to the colonies of Canada, the United States, and France. It will be sent back when the country recovers.

When the country is about to fall, it is understandable to take away the gold of one's own country. Any political party or country will choose to do this. Is it left to the Germans?

In fact, not only the French, but even the United Kingdom, at the most critical time, planned to ship their gold to the United States.

Although at the meeting, Wei Gang vowed to stick to the line of defense, as long as you think about it, you will know that the demise of France is just before your eyes, and they simply can't stop the terrible German invasion!

Lucien gritted his teeth and said: "Now, there can be no more delay. From this evening, the second step of the'fish' plan will be officially launched! The navy has already contacted."

This is more than two thousand tons of gold. It is not so easy to transport it. In history, it took about a month for France to transport this batch of gold. It took more than a dozen warships to transport this batch of gold. It's all taken away.

Now, it's May 18th. Judging from the battle situation, don't have any illusions. Start the second step of the "Fish" plan immediately.

The first step is to evacuate all the gold from various places to these three ports, and the second step is to transport the gold through warships!

Start the second step of the plan immediately!

Brest, suburb, a secret manor.

From the outside, this is an old manor. Outside the manor, there are large tracts of grapes. At this time, bunches of grapes are hanging on the vines. It is already the harvest season. Many grapes are The fuchsia color is salivating.

"Loom, rumble." At this moment, the roar of the engine broke the tranquility of the night sky. Trucks were driving on the country road. In front of these trucks, Ford's logo was quite conspicuous.

This is a very interesting thing.

At the beginning, Ford set up a factory in Germany and produced Ford 10-ton trucks, which are dual-use for both military and civilian use.

Once it was put on the market, it was immediately praised and quickly occupied the market, not only in the United States, Germany, but also successfully sold to other countries in Europe.

Renault Motor Company was very injured. Originally, in France, Renault was the leading product, but when the Ford truck came out, Renault Motors immediately became scum.

The biggest problem is the engine, the 230-horsepower diesel engine, which is quite powerful and fuel efficient! You know, in this era, diesel is much cheaper than gasoline.

It is a pity that the local factories in Germany are not exported. Now, the cars produced in the German factories are provided to the German country. You must know that Germany now has sufficient funds. As much as it produces, it can be sold domestically.

Therefore, the cars imported from France were shipped across the ocean from the Ford factory in the United States. Although they cost a lot, they are still worth it.

It is not only necessary to have money, but also to have a relationship to be able to order this kind of car.

The Renault car factory has learned its lesson and is also developing a diesel engine. Unfortunately, there is no result yet. At this time, the Renault factory has regretted it a long time ago. If you know that time is wasted in research and development, you can simply copy this car.

However, these exported cars are all rear-wheel drive, not all-wheel drive. Even so, the high-horsepower diesel engine and the peculiar roar makes many people proud.

This is the best truck in France!

Of course, at this time, the people sitting in the car are not so excited.

They are wearing navy uniforms and the cars are also painted with navy blue paint. These convoys are sent by the navy.

It's very common, after all, this is the port, the navy's cars are everywhere.

When the convoy approached the manor, it heard the sound of pulling the bolt in front of it. In the grape field in front, a dozen soldiers suddenly appeared. Behind them, under the cover of grape leaves, there were even A few small-caliber artillery!

"Password, run, the old world is behind you!" In the front car, a naval officer stretched out his head and shouted to the outside. In order to avoid suspicion, he only had the rank of ensign. In fact, he was a Major general!

Major General Pick looked at the other party and handed him his hand strip, which had the stamp of the Bank of France and the Ministry of Finance.

The other party checked carefully and then withdrew.

The car continued to move and stopped in the manor. At this time, Favre-Joly, the chief cashier of the Bank of France, was anxiously waiting for their arrival.

"Why is it so slow?" he couldn't help asking.
