Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

"Very satisfied, very satisfied, Your Majesty, I am very grateful for your generosity." Nicholas II said happily.

"Well, now can we talk about the treasures at the bottom of Lake Baikal?" Guan Xuqing suddenly withdrew his smile and said seriously.

Nicholas II's smile froze immediately, "You...how did you know?"

Guan Xuqing laughed loudly: "You don't have to ask me how I know, we're talking about business, it's best to focus on business."

Nicholas II thought about it for a while, and beads of sweat were evident on his forehead, before he said, "Well, I am willing to tell everything, and I am willing to contribute those treasures as a war pledge."

"Okay!" Guan Xuqing clapped his hands and said, "This is a friend. The most important thing between friends is mutual trust."

Nicholas II nodded and said: "After the October Revolution, I was imprisoned by the Red Army. Before that, I saw that the Tsarist regime was in danger, so I ordered the commander of the White Army, Alexander Kolchak, to secretly steal the treasure in the treasury. Eighteen hundred tons of gold were transported out of the Winter Palace in batches. Kolchak led the remnants of the White Army and the Soviet Red Army fought several times, but he was still arrested by the Red Army and executed in January 1903. However, the whereabouts of the 1 tons of gold that Kolchak transported from the vault was unknown. Until later, Lenin was very concerned about the whereabouts of the treasure and personally instructed the KGB to investigate the gold. According to local Russian legends , I learned that before Kolchak was arrested, the gold was loaded on a train by him and White Army soldiers to Lake Baikal, and [-] tons of gold had fallen into Lake Baikal hundreds of meters deep together with the train carriages , sank to the dark bottom of the silted lake."

Guan Xuqing raised his eyebrows and asked, "If I'm not mistaken, this legend is not true. Would you be willing to sink so much gold into the bottom of Lake Baikal? There are other reasons."

Nicholas II said: "You really know everything. You are right. In fact, those treasures did not sink to the bottom of the lake at all, but were transferred by Kolchak to a secret cave on the shore of Lake Baikal. The drawings are in my In the middle layer of the jacket, Kolchak is really a loyal subordinate to me, and he never revealed any secrets about the treasure until he died." After speaking, his face showed a somewhat sad look.

Guan Xuqing patted the other party on the shoulder and comforted him: "In this crazy world, only loyal subordinates are the monarch's greatest wealth."

Nicholas II sighed and said: "If Kolchak can be resurrected, I am willing to give up [-] tons of gold, but everything has passed..."

Middle East Storm Chapter 771 Only the dead will shut up forever

Nicholas II finally won the support of China and went to West Siberia to join his old troops.However, the price he paid was very high, that is, in order to pay for the restoration of weapons, he not only lost all the treasures of the Romanov Dynasty, but also married his youngest daughter, Anastasia, to the third son of the Chinese Empire. The prince is the princess.For his dream of power, Nicholas II did not hesitate to mortgage his wife and children in China.In order to gain freedom, Nicholas II had to endure the Chinese emperor's lion's mouth, and gave the treasure of the Romanov Dynasty to the other party. It was a very large treasure house. After the Russian Civil War and the entire World War II, after the loss After a large number of treasures, this gold can still be ranked as the tenth largest treasure in the world, but no one thought that it was this gold, which was regarded as a national treasure by the Russians, that fell into the hands of the Chinese in the end.

Of course, Guan Xuqing has always been the master who only earns but not loses!The treasure was exchanged for the equipment of two armored divisions. After several years, the empire declassified some of the documents, and people still praised Guan Xuqing's ability to raise money.

What Nicholas II never expected was that when he just arrived in Minsk, the capital of Belarus, he was arrested by a group of KGB in plain clothes, and he was secretly escorted to a remote factory in Leningrad that night. Inside, locked up.He was also locked up with the notorious "National Teacher", Rasputin.A special interrogation team was set up under the chairmanship of Stalin to interrogate Nicholas II many times, especially asking about the whereabouts of the treasury gold. Every day, he looks forward to the Chinese being able to rescue him like last time. At the same time, he is also puzzled by his sudden arrest. His whereabouts back to the Soviet Union are very secretive. How did the KGB know about it? What is hidden in it? secret?

On the evening of May 5, Stalin personally sent Beria, the supreme head of the KGB, to Nicholas II's prison as a former admirer of the tsar.During this visit, he specially brought a paper on political science, asked Nicholas II to give his opinions on this article, and flattered him.Nicholas II, who was about to go crazy in his spare time, was naturally very happy to take this opportunity to express himself, so he met Beria alone in the "study".After reading the paper, Nicholas II put forward very pertinent and unique opinions; Beria took the opportunity to express his admiration and admiration again, and the intimacy between the two took a step further.Under normal circumstances, almost no outsider could enter the Tsar's study alone, and Beria stayed there for more than half an hour.Beria tried to extract the whereabouts of the gold treasure from the other party several times, but it aroused the other party's vigilance.

Three days later, Stalin directly issued a secret order to Beria to execute Nicholas II, and asked Beria to execute it himself.

On May 5th, Nicholas II locked himself in his study for a long time to write.At 20 o'clock in the afternoon, Nicholas II came out of the study. After having some tea with the KGB guarding him, he got some forage and went to the yard to feed his beloved rabbit.At this time, there was the sound of a car's horn outside the gate, and Beria walked in, "Your Majesty, I'm here to visit you again. I hope today is another wonderful day for you."

"Don't say such things, they are preparing dinner, and we will have dinner together later." Nicholas II said with a smile.

"No, I've already made an appointment with your chief guard to have dinner." Beria rejected Nicholas II's invitation. At this time, he was having a fierce conflict in his heart. The more he came into contact with this old man , the more he couldn't bear to kill this knowledgeable and elderly man, but his reason and his incomparable loyalty to Stalin did not allow him to be merciful.

"Then, at least please go in and have a cup of tea." Nicholas II said almost begging, because he also liked this taciturn and handsome young man very much.

"Okay, I'm uncomfortably thirsty." Bailey hesitated for a moment, and with a hard heart, he agreed.He was really thirsty and pale from nervousness.Nicholas II noticed this, and said in a fatherly tone: "You are not in good health, young people should also pay attention to their health."

Beria's heart became hot, and he had the idea of ​​giving up the mission, but he forcibly restrained himself.

Nicholas II noticed Beria's abnormality today. He was actually wearing a raincoat and a rain hat on a sunny day, so he asked, "Why are you wearing a raincoat in such a fine weather?"

Beria's heart trembled, he remembered the purpose of his trip, forcibly restrained the confusion in his heart, and replied as if nothing had happened: "Who knows when it will rain today?" In fact, in his raincoat, there is a A sharp axe, a short knife, and a pocket pistol in his trousers pocket!

Nicholas II seemed to think of something, and suddenly asked: "Did you bring the paper you revised that day?"

"Bring it." Beria said as he took out a few pages of manuscript paper from the raincoat.

"Then enter the room." Nicholas II invited him.

After entering the study, Nicholas II sat down in front of the writing desk, spread out the manuscript paper and focused his attention on the thesis, reviewing the thesis for others and putting forward opinions, which was his greatest pleasure at this time.Beria stood beside him, looking at his gray head motionless, watching him concentrate on reading the thesis, feeling an unspeakable emotion, guilt and helplessness in his heart.After Beria breathed out a long breath, he closed his eyes and swung the ax down, but there was a howl in his heart: "God!"

After an angry howl full of pain, Nicholas II covered the top of his head with one hand, grabbed Bailey's ax swinging hand with the other frantically, and bit the back of his hand fiercely.Bailey was stunned by the angry image of the old man. He no longer had the strength to make a move. He just subconsciously swung his bitten hand and threw Nicholas II to the ground. He watched him stand up with difficulty, step by step. Go outside.

At this moment, Rasputin, who was standing in the yard, heard the wailing.He froze for a moment, and then rushed into the room, while Nicholas II was standing outside the house with his hands on the door frame, his face and body covered in hot blood.Seeing this scene, Rasputin was dumbfounded, while Nicholas said intermittently: "It...he...did it!"

The guards had heard the news and rushed straight into the house.Inside the house, Beria was still holding the sharp axe, silently in a daze.The guards rushed forward desperately, instead of tying up Beria, they tied up Rasputin.There was another scream in the room, Rasputin's scream.

Beria said lightly: "Nicolas, your nightmare has arrived. In fact, my real identity is the director of the KGB General Bureau. This time I was ordered to come here to deal with you, as well as your faithful eagle dog, Rasputin."

Nicholas II fell in a pool of blood. Hearing what the other party said, he suddenly laughed wildly, and then said calmly: "I just want to know one thing before I die, and that is how the KGB knew my whereabouts. Can you tell me?"

Beria hesitated for a while before saying: "Well, let me tell you, I don't know who it is until now. I was going to Moscow for a meeting that day. When I was resting on the way, I bought a newspaper. I didn't expect this. There was a note in the newspaper, which stated your whereabouts and arrival time, so I sent someone to arrest you. At the same time, I also asked the person who sold the newspaper, but there was no result at all. It's a mystery."

In fact, Nicholas didn’t know until his death that it was the Chinese who betrayed him. Once Nicholas II died, the arms and supplies that Guan Xuqing promised him became empty promises. The only way to hide the secret is to use this poisonous trick, because if you want to keep the secret forever, you can only shut up Nicholas forever, and only the dead will shut up forever!

With this poisonous plan, Guan Xuqing completely eradicated his old enemy, and obtained the treasure of the Romanov Dynasty without bloodshed. However, he was not satisfied, and a new plan was being implemented.

Since human beings have currency, counterfeit banknotes have been born at the same time. From ancient times to the present, this kind of gunpowder war between the government and counterfeit banknote groups has never stopped, and with the continuous advancement of technology, counterfeit banknotes can almost be faked.

The Rothschild family, a financial tycoon, holds the largest private wealth in the world on the one hand, and on the other hand has to print counterfeit banknotes for their master China. It is really a big joke to say it.The counterfeit banknotes printed by the Rothschild family can reach the point of being fake. Judging from the financial turmoil launched last year, the counterfeit banknotes circulated in Britain, the United States and other countries, and they were basically not found. Even the staff of the Bank of England, if you don’t look carefully, Can't find it at all.After all, countries do not have mature banknote inspection equipment, and the judgment of banknotes depends entirely on the eyes and experience of the staff, and who would have thought that counterfeit banknotes would be so authentic?

Nowadays, only dragon coins in the world use the anti-counterfeiting of banknotes wearing metal wires, and are equipped with money detectors for detecting metal wires, and only China has mastered this technology.At first, the small-scale counterfeit banknotes could only affect some personal interests, and did not have much impact on the country's overall finance. At this time, Guan Xuqing decided to increase the scale of exporting counterfeit banknotes to the UK.From the initial small-scale market circulation to the later direct exchange for British gold, the scale has become larger and more purposeful and targeted. As a result, more and more pounds are circulating in the British market. The two wars in India and Afghanistan led to fiscal deficits. In order to balance the fiscal balance, the scale of printing banknotes had to be increased, which eventually led to skyrocketing prices in the UK, and inflation was already very serious.

Middle East Storm Chapter 772 A knife on the back

At first, the British government thought it was the inflation caused by printing a large amount of banknotes, but when the British Chancellor of the Exchequer, Witte, couldn't stand the huge fiscal deficit and inflation, and ordered the banks to start recycling the excess banknotes, they found that they could no longer control the market. The above currency is in circulation.

Witt was shocked and immediately ordered the commissioner to intervene in the investigation. It was found that a large amount of foreign pounds had flowed into the UK, which intensified the inflation in the UK.However, Witte still didn't think that it was the counterfeit banknotes. One day his seven-year-old daughter accidentally compared two pounds and found a difference, which caught Witte's attention.

Witte is the Chancellor of the Exchequer, so he naturally knows the real British pounds well. After a closer look, he found that one of them was a counterfeit banknote. "Damn! Which bastard made this? It looks so similar?"

Witte almost roared to the governor of the central bank, and then the Central Bank of England issued a notice informing bank staff everywhere to strictly check for counterfeit banknotes, and at the same time conduct random inspections of banknotes in the treasury.The result surprised everyone. Sampling showed that the counterfeit banknotes had reached an astonishing level.Although the random inspection can only reflect a general problem, Witte immediately understood the harm involved. There are so many counterfeit banknotes with such a high degree of authenticity, it cannot be done by individuals, nor can it be domestic financial dealers. foreign powers.

Right now, Britain has enemies everywhere, but the biggest enemy is obviously China, because Britain is competing with China for the rights and interests of the Middle East.

"Inspect the National Gold Reserve Now".

The United Kingdom has just completed the second round of gold standard reform, and it is barely carrying it down, because in order to pay for the Far East War, a large amount of money has been invested in armaments. It is really fortunate that the United Kingdom can complete the financial reform, thanks to Werther Strong wrist.At this time, there must be no mistakes. Once Britain's gold reserves are unstable, and there are so many counterfeit banknotes on the market, it may cause the British financial collapse.

Soon, the results of the investigation came out, and Britain's gold reserves were constantly decreasing.A large amount of gold was exchanged out of the country, causing Britain's finances to fall into a cordon.What are you afraid of?Witte hastily ordered to close all gold exchange points, suspend the exchange of banknotes with gold, stop paying gold to outsiders, and close all customs gold outflow channels.This is a last resort.But the negative impact is huge.

Soon, the Imperial Security Bureau spread the news that the British government had closed the gold exchange, and secretly incited the people, telling them that many banknotes on the market were counterfeit, encouraging them to go to the bank to exchange for coins or hard currency.

It doesn’t matter if this is the case, for a while, there were long lines of runs at the gates of the major banks in the UK, and then when they knew that the UK had suspended the gold exchange, everyone began to take the pound to foreign banks for exchange.Banks in various countries in the UK obviously felt that something was wrong, so they also stopped exchanging pounds, but began to sell them instead.In this way, the British government not only has to face the pressure from counterfeit banknotes, but also to quell the panic of the people, and to persuade other countries to believe in the purchasing power of the pound.Obviously this matter is not so easy to handle!

The situation is getting worse and worse. In addition to cracking down on people who use counterfeit banknotes, the British government has to destroy a large number of counterfeit banknotes. Of course, the British Ministry of Finance has to pay for these.However, since the counterfeit banknotes were brought into the UK through a number of large financial institutions, the circulation area is very large, and the concealment is extremely strong. Therefore, the effectiveness of the UK's crackdown on counterfeit banknotes is very limited. The direct benefits obtained from the issuance of the book amounted to more than 1000 million pounds, and the indirect effects were even more incalculable.

The biggest beneficiary is the Rothschild family. With the help of counterfeit banknotes, the Rothschild family, that is, after the British financial turmoil, ruthlessly slaughtered the British, and also extended their tentacles to the UK in one fell swoop. All aspects, all walks of life.

However, at this time in Afghanistan, some unexpected situations occurred.With the help of the Chinese, the Afghan army attacked various regions and expelled the remaining British soldiers stranded on Afghan soil, winning one victory after another.

But at this time, Mohammad Idris Daoud, the most trusted minister of Major General Mullaz al-Din who was in charge of guarding Kabul's city defense, visited him in secret.

"Our victory is not far away, and Afghanistan's independence is not far away." Daoud said: "But we cannot rely too much on the Chinese, otherwise the British will leave and the Chinese will come again. What's the point?"

Major General Mullaziddin frowned and said: "But you need to know that we achieved victory only with the help of the Chinese. Once you offend the Chinese, have you thought about the consequences? The Chinese army is victorious, and their strength We are incomparable, they can even rush to my palace and headquarters at will, and then hang you and me!"

"Because of this, we cannot be controlled by the Chinese." Daoud said very resolutely: "Take advantage of the fact that the Chinese are now gaining a stable foothold, expel the Chinese in Afghanistan, and then win the sympathy of the international public opinion, and achieve a real victory in Afghanistan. Independence in the sense. Or we can take a step back and negotiate with the Chinese, asking the Chinese government to guarantee absolute respect for the sovereignty, integrity and independence of Afghanistan in internal affairs and foreign affairs. As long as they can agree, we can gradually eliminate China’s influence in Afghanistan. power and influence."

Seeing that Mullah Jaiddin was lost in thought, Daoud went on to say: "Although our army is not large, they are all willing to fight for the country. At the same time, we can secretly purchase weapons from the Soviet Union and get rid of our military dependence on China; as long as we can master the If we have established an elite army, then I think the Chinese will definitely agree to our request. Think about it, the Chinese promise very well on the surface, but once they take full control of Afghanistan, our country and nation will continue Will it survive?"

"Okay." Mullaziddin finally made up his mind: "You can handle this matter, but you must keep it secret."
