Chapter 170 Discovery of Gold
"I will equip you with this armored company, but the number of the entire company must be strictly controlled, no more than 50 tanks, and you will be given a few spare vehicles. The staff here will go back to train. When you come back to the front line, you will first equip you with the three regiments on the front line, and let's talk about the others later. When I get the number from the central government, the armored company will be expanded into an armored regiment." A division will definitely have an armored regiment. Now the organization of a security regiment is basically the same as that of an infantry division. After giving them this armored company, it can also be slowly expanded, which can be considered as preheating in advance. If they have never seen these great goods, they will inevitably be a little unfamiliar when they are equipped at the beginning. If they want to form combat power, they will have to wait a long time. The situation is just right.
"Report to the commander-in-chief, we found some good things below, which seemed to be gold or something." Just as the two guys were watching the soldiers carrying things, a company commander ran up from below. When he heard about the gold, Erlangzi immediately ran. Before Mao Yuanshan could see it, he ran to the warehouse. He was really jealous of money and ran much faster than before.
Mao Yuanshan's pace was not slow. After all, he discovered such valuable things. Moreover, Irkutsk was the second largest city in the entire Soviet Far East. When he captured Ulan-Ude last time, Mao Yuanshan also searched the entire city. Unfortunately, the final result was not very good. No good things were found, and gold was only a dozen kilograms. This place is different. This is the second largest city in the entire Far East. If you want to save some valuable things, you will definitely put them in this place first. This place is much better than Vladivostok. Although Vladivostok is the base of the Soviet Pacific Fleet, it is on a marginal area and it is very likely to store some weapons and equipment. If they were asked to store valuable things like gold, there would probably be no one to put them there. Is it too dangerous? If you are captured, it must be someone else's. It is better to put the things in the inland area for insurance.
Moreover, this place is also a large railway passenger hub in Siberia. If anything goes wrong, it can be loaded on the train and taken to Moscow in a few days. However, those who put the things did not expect that the hundreds of thousands of soldiers here would retreat so quickly. Before that, the army placed all the valuable things in the city in this military base, and finally moved them all to this warehouse. After all, the military base was on the surface, and that was the primary target of the air force. If all these things were bombed, it would be really heartbreaking. From the beginning of the war, the warehouse below has never been discovered. This is the safest place, so it is best to put these gold here.
"What a fuss? I thought you had found so many good things. I didn't expect that these things were better than the Japanese who were searched by the commander-in-chief in the capital. It was only a few dollars, and all these garbage items were brought up. It was a group of things that had never seen money. Today, the commander-in-chief was here to throw away my face." There were more than twenty boxes of gold below. Xiangzi's box was not very big, and there were only some silver and other things left. There were rows of Soviet banknotes on the other side, but these things had no purchasing power internationally and were almost like waste paper. However, Mao Yuanshan could use them to pay the Soviets. We can use them if we couldn't use them. Although you are now prisoners, you can find a way to bring them to your family.
However, as long as it is a war, except for the US dollar, the banknotes of various countries basically do not have much purchasing power, and the whole country has depreciated greatly. The British Empire is already powerful enough, known as the empire of the sun never set, and the British pound is also the most powerful currency in the world. However, after two world wars, it is not only not worth much, but its influence in the world is no longer enough. The currency with the strongest influence in the world has become the US dollar.
It was mainly because during World War II, the British Empire was afraid that its land would be captured by the Germans, so some precious gold and some antiques were shipped to the United States, making the US dollar the most solid currency in the world.
Later, the British felt regret for their behavior, but there was no regret in this world. If you had done it, you had to pay the price for your behavior. It was you who made the Americans famous, you made the Americans the world overlord, and you made the US dollar a world currency that replaced the pound. It was mainly because of gold, so if Mao Yuanshan wanted to gain an economic advantage, he had to plunder a large amount of gold.
In this world, Mao Yuanshan also obtained a lot of gold. After getting the gold, all the gold in Mao Yuanshan was stored and never used. He just thought that he could issue a relatively strong currency when the domestic fiat currency was valued in the future. This was just a prototype in his mind. How to implement it has not yet been remembered, and it was mainly not that level.
It is not that easy to establish a complete monetary system. Among them, gold is the most important thing. If your currency cannot be turned into a precious metal, then it is similar to a piece of waste paper. The most important thing about paper money is to have credibility. As long as the credibility is achieved, paper money is money. If you do other things, how can you make money quickly?
The Soviets were really poor enough to put everything here. It was estimated that it was only about 20 million oceans. Apart from these gold, there were some other things, but they were not very useful to Mao Yuanshan. However, these things were better than not. The whole city only found more than 20 million oceans of wealth, which was really strong. I wonder where these Soviets had transported all their wealth?
"Don't complain, it's better to have these things than not. Get it clean. The air in this underground warehouse is not very good. If you stay here for a long time, your body will feel uncomfortable." Mao Yuanshan was about to pull Kong Erlangzi up, but who knew that this guy seemed to have discovered something else.
