Chapter 1803 The Golden Space Shows Its Power
The next day.
The 1st Division stationed in Yokosuka was transferred to Tokyo. When the army entered the vicinity of Bank Street, they found that there were corpses everywhere and blood was flowing like a river. It was just like a Shura field.
Then they quickly checked the banks and found that more than 30 banks of all sizes on the entire Bank Street were looted, including the Bank of Japan, and the vaults were all empty.
The people of the 1st Division were shocked. Where did the army come from? The combat effectiveness was so terrifying that more than 10,000 people were killed overnight.
You know, the guards are the elite Japanese army responsible for protecting the safety of Tokyo.
It is said that they only have 700 to 800 people, and they can wipe out all the guards without any casualties, and they can also take away so much currency, gold, silver and a large number of valuables.
What kind of army is this.
Could it be a god of war?
Afterwards, they disappeared out of thin air. No one knows where they went. After killing all the guards, they all disappeared. The police outside did not find any trace of their departure.
After hearing the report, Japanese Prime Minister Hirota Koki was so shocked that he didn't know what to say.
The emperor was furious.
He summoned the entire cabinet and the military's army minister, chief of staff, training director, navy minister and others to the Imperial Palace.
Looking at a group of ministers, the emperor said angrily:
"What exactly is going on? Who can give me an accurate answer now? Which unit did the bank robbers come from? How much money did they rob? How much loss did they suffer? Where did they take the money?"
The army minister lowered his head and replied: "The military is already conducting a comprehensive investigation, but it is not known which unit those soldiers came from. After the fierce battle yesterday, the security was almost wiped out, and those people fled and disappeared."
Hirohito's face was extremely ugly.
"Escape, do they need to escape? They are evacuating after victory. With so many people, don't they find any signs of leaving? It's impossible for them to disappear out of thin air."
Hirohito asked loudly.
"We are still groping." The army minister replied in a low voice.
Hirohito looked at the Prime Minister again and asked, "Hirota, have you investigated how big the loss is?"
The Prime Minister looked grim, and took a deep breath, "Reporting to His Majesty the Emperor, the statistics have come up, and the loss this time is very huge."
"All 31 private banks and the central bank on Bank Street were looted, including gold, silver and foreign exchange, with a total loss of about 14.7 billion yen, as well as a large number of securities and documents, and a large number of valuable materials."
At this point, the Prime Minister glanced at the Emperor and continued, "This also includes the Emperor's family funds and a large number of cultural relics in the central bank."
Hirohito felt a black screen in front of his eyes, and his body unconsciously tilted to the side, frightening the people around him to stand up and support him.
Someone called a doctor to come over for a check, and checked the heart rate and blood pressure, and took medicine. It took a long time to stabilize.
Why did Hirohito react so greatly?
In the future, 14.7 billion yen is definitely nothing, and any rich man in Japan can take it out, but for Japan now, 14.7 billion yen is the total fiscal revenue for nearly a year.
Moreover, there is a large sum of money that belongs to the private property of the royal family, as well as a large number of royal treasures.
This is equivalent to the entire Japanese royal family's assets being robbed.
If this money is lost, it will be a heavy blow to Japan, which is more serious and terrible than the failure of a battle.
Hirohito tried hard to support himself and looked at the military, and shouted in a deep voice: "It is a shame for our soldiers to rob our banks and national treasury. This matter is the responsibility of your military. No matter what method you use, you must find those robbers and recover the money."
"Yes, Your Majesty." The Minister of the Army responded quickly.
"And the government, do a good job of news control, and never let this news spread. If the public knows that the bank cash has been robbed, I am afraid there will be greater riots, and it will be a great damage to Japan's image."
"Yes, Your Majesty." The Prime Minister quickly agreed.
Tokyo and nearby areas were all blocked, and the army and police searched frantically to find clues about the robbers. There were a total of seven or eight hundred robbers, and they couldn't have disappeared completely.
But surprisingly, after three days, there was no clue at all. The robbers seemed to have evaporated and there was no trace at all.
When investigating the residents along the road, everyone said that no one had seen or heard anyone passing by.
In the Imperial Palace, Hirohito had been gloomy for three days. The news he heard every day was the same and there was no change. He could not find any clues about the robbers.
The prime minister kneeling next to him looked at Emperor Hirohito and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, if you really can't find the robbers and recover the money, the country will have a very difficult time in the future."
"I also know that it will be more difficult than I imagined," Hirohito said with an extremely ugly face.
A large part of this money is private bank reserves. If the people know that the money they deposited in the bank is lost, they will definitely make a fuss. Don't expect the people to tide over the difficulties with the bankers and the country.
After the news spreads, the people will definitely run on the bank and make trouble, followed by the collapse of a large number of banks. Riots and social unrest are foreseeable.
This money includes a large amount of funds from the central bank, which is the fiscal budget for the coming year.
Military construction, government salaries, education investment, welfare services, social security, public services, medical care, pensions, etc.
The finances are already stretched thin. If this money cannot be recovered, the national treasury will be empty, next year's budget will be completely overturned, and countless plans will be ruined.
Moreover, a big hole will be left, and life will continue to pass. Yin eats and eats, and it may take several years to recover.
"I hope the military can get the money back," the Prime Minister said.
In fact, this sentence means to apply eye drops. Another meaning is that the responsibility this time lies entirely with the military.
"It's not an expectation, it's a must!" The Emperor said solemnly.
The Prime Minister had just returned to his Prime Minister's Office. The Chief of Police came over in a hurry and said, "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, I have something to report to you."
"Why, is there any news about those robbers?" the Prime Minister asked.
The police department is under the jurisdiction of the Prime Minister. Due to the differences between the military and the government, the police and the army are very difficult to deal with. In the past two years, there have been very serious conflicts between the military and the police, and neither side is happy with it.
After the incident, the Prime Minister ordered the Chief of Police to conduct a comprehensive search for clues. On the one hand, he wanted to recover the huge sum of money, and on the other hand, he also wanted to compete with the military for credit. If the police found clues first, it would appear that the soldiers were even more incompetent.
The police chief shook his head.
"No, we have received a large number of reports recently. Gold from some small banks has been stolen. Many people said that it disappeared out of thin air."
"We have even received reports from many gold houses, wealthy people and big businessmen. Gold ornaments and hidden gold in their homes have suddenly disappeared. Some of them were hidden very secretly, and nothing happened, but they were lost for no reason."
The Prime Minister frowned, "Didn't you find some clues? I don't believe that something will disappear out of thin air."
After saying this, the Prime Minister suddenly thought of the group of robbers three days ago. Those guys were also so elusive and finally disappeared out of thin air.
The police chief was helpless, "Many places have sent professionals to conduct inspections, but no clues can be found. If there is a perfect theft in this world, I can understand it, but in the past two days, a total of thousands of police reports have been received, all concentrated Together, it’s incredible.”
"I don't have time to deal with these things now. You step up the pursuit of the robbery on Bank Street and must find clues before the military discovers it." The Prime Minister ordered in a deep voice.
Small theft cases also came to bother him, and he was already in a state of despair. If the money could not be recovered, the government would be extremely sad in the future, and he could not imagine what would happen.
Now he has considered taking the blame and resigning.
Fortunately, the control of public opinion is very strict now. What happened on Bank Street was not reported. Only some foreign newspapers in Japan had some reports about the military riots on Bank Street. Fortunately, those foreign newspapers did not know the real situation and only reported on it. It was reported as a military disturbance, so it attracted minimal attention.
Thinking of this, the Prime Minister immediately called the Under Secretary for Government Affairs and told him to further strengthen the supervision of newspapers and never reveal true news.
The Chief of Police left the Prime Minister's Office and returned to the Metropolitan Police Department. He ordered his men to strengthen the investigation into the missing large amount of gold, and the focus shifted to the search for the military robbers on Bank Street.
He didn't know that these two things were actually done by the same person.
After eight hundred fighting soldiers destroyed the guard team, Jiang Hao took back the fighting soldiers, and those fighting soldiers quickly turned into copper beans.
These copper beans can be used repeatedly as long as all the spiritual power is not consumed at once.
As for their clothing and weapons, Jiang Hao also put them all into the space for use next time, while he disappeared invisible and flew to Mount Fuji.
The top of Mount Fuji,
Jiang Hao sat cross-legged on the snow, penetrated the golden space with his mind, and ordered that all the gold, silver and banknotes from this robbery be absorbed.
Swish, brush, brush~!
Dozens of tons of gold disappeared first, and the space increased by several cubic meters.
The silver disappears and is exchanged for gold of corresponding value, and the space increases by several cubic meters.
Next is banknotes, the main types of banknotes are Japanese yen, British pounds, US dollars and German marks.
Gold space can absorb banknotes. It does not mean that banknotes directly turn into space. Instead, the system exchanges banknotes for gold from the country that issued the banknotes and uses gold to expand the space.
When Jiang Hao was absorbing banknotes, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Germany, the countries where the pound, U.S. dollar, and German mark were located, all inexplicably lacked a sum of gold in their treasury.
Japan is even more strange. The national treasury was confiscated by Jiang Hao and there is no gold reserve. The first to be unlucky are the small banks. All the gold in their vaults disappeared for no reason.
But after all, these are small banks, not much. The big banks were all robbed by Jiang Hao. After all the gold in the small banks disappeared, they began to absorb the gold from the Jinlou.
It was broad daylight, and all the gold jewelry in gold buildings across Japan disappeared inexplicably. It caused great panic at that time, and many people immediately called the police.
But the funds held by Jiang Hao were too large. After the gold in the Jinlou was exhausted, the system began to search for personal gold.
Japan has many established aristocrats, chaebols, and wealthy businessmen. Many of them have private gold collections, and their gold has suddenly disappeared.
After these people found out, they immediately chose to call the police.
This is not the most exaggerated thing. Even the gold jewelry and gold teeth of some people have disappeared inexplicably.
In 1936, the Bretton Woods system was established, and the U.S. dollar was pegged to gold. The United States was responsible for exchanging gold at the official price of $35 per ounce, and the currencies of various countries were pegged to the U.S. dollar. At this time, 100 U.S. dollars was exchanged for 309 yen.
A simple conversion is that 100 yen can buy one ounce of gold at this time.
The gold, silver and banknotes that Jiang Hao robbed, except for gold which can be directly absorbed by the golden space, all others need to be exchanged for gold.
Who to exchange with? Of course, it is with the country where they are located.
The total value of silver and banknotes far exceeds gold. Almost 10 billion yen can be exchanged for 100 million ounces of gold, which is 2,830 tons of gold.
2,830 tons of gold, this is definitely an extremely exaggerated astronomical figure. The Japanese treasury only has a few dozen tons of gold reserves. The entire country, including all circulating and privately stored gold, may not have 2,830 tons.
Watching the banknotes disappearing and the space expanding by cubic meters, Jiang Hao could guess that the golden space was probably frantically plundering the gold of the entire Japan, banks, and even the people.
Originally, Jiang Hao only thought that the golden space was a storage space, but now he suddenly discovered that it had such a wonderful use. If this function is well used, it can easily destroy the economic foundation of a country.
The golden space is so powerful!
It's so terrifying~~!
Plunder~~ the golden space!
