Romanian Eagle

Spain, Madrid, train station.

The entire railway station has been under martial law. The soldiers guarding the railway 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 drive over.

Quick, quick! They shouted loudly, the car stopped on the platform, and the soldiers sent by the government army were loading the wooden crates on the car onto the train.

This group of soldiers is a little strange, because the general handling work is done by workers. To be able to use them as porters, it seems that these boxes are quite important. Speaking of which, 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. It's not up to them, they're just here to 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. The whole process is in the hands of the military, and except for a few officers who know a small part of the situation, ordinary soldiers even I don't know what's in the box in my hand.

Hey. A soldier suddenly slanted his foot, and the wooden box on his shoulder fell heavily, and one corner fell to the stone floor of the platform.

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

Under the sunlight, it was golden, and inside, there were actually gold bars!

If you can have such a root, you will be rich in this life.

Bang! At this moment, a crisp gunshot came.

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

Keep working, don't stop!

The Soviet officer's face was quite stern, and the meaning of his silent warning was extremely obvious. Anyone who had a crooked mind would die.

The soldier who had just dropped the box immediately bent down and hurriedly put all the gold back into the box.

In the distance, a two-story building.

A telescope that had been set up for a long time was placed behind the window and covered by a curtain. Now, the man behind the telescope,

Taking his eyes away from the telescope, he said to the other person: Notify immediately, follow this train, and determine its destination.

His appearance was unremarkable, and he was only about 1.7 meters tall. He could not be found in the crowd. But he is one of the leaders of this reconnaissance mission, one of the best players of the Romanian intelligence service, Barracli.

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

However, during the selection process, his sharp mind and calm personality were valued by the intelligence services, and he joined the Romanian intelligence services. In the past few years in the intelligence department, he has won many credits, and he is already a competent person in the Romanian intelligence department, so he was sent to Spain by Holmonkman to ensure that this operation was flawless.

After loading all the wooden boxes on the train, everyone immediately stood in the distance, because the train had its own guards.

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

Their eyes are quite sharp, and at first glance they are elites in a hundred battles.

Soviet interior guards! They are now in Madrid in the uniforms of the International Column, and have no interest at all in joining the battle here. They have only one mission, to secure the safe transfer of this cargo to the ship.

Woooo. The front of the steam locomotive blew its whistle, and in the sound of steam whirring, the wheels of the locomotive slowly moved.

The train full of gold started moving.

In addition to the soldiers in each carriage, the last one is a flatbed car. There is also a team of soldiers with live ammunition. Outside the flatbed car, a pile of sandbags are piled up. In the middle of the flatbed car, a 25mm anti-aircraft gun is mounted.

Yes, it's artillery. This is a temporary decision to install it. They are very concerned about this operation and strive to do the best in all aspects.

In the middle of the carriage, a man with a grim face was smoking a cigarette in silence.

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

Alexander Lornov, a senior official of the Soviet NKVD, who was in charge of the gold escort operation in Spain, did not dare to be careless at this time.

Let our people monitor along the way, and the trains have to change their routes from time to time, Alexander said.

As the person in charge, Lornov did not relax at all in this transportation task, because before coming, Minister Yezhov personally explained the importance of this task to him. Since the minister has said the importance of this mission to the Soviet Union, Lornov, who is a subordinate, will naturally not slack off in the slightest.

Everyone in charge of guarding is not allowed to leave the train, and for easy-to-control front positions, there must be no less than two escorts for 24 hours.

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

...

Woooo. The train whistled and drove into the station.

Inside the train, there was an unpleasant smell. In the past two days, they have almost gone around half of Spain. The downside is that they are about to fall apart in the past two days. The strongest fighters will collapse after being in the train for a few days.

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

Pushing open the compartment door of the train, a fresh smell of sea breeze blew over, and everyone felt much more comfortable.

Quick, quick, quick! At this time, all of Lornov's eyes were bloodshot. In the past few days, he has revised the route many times, and finally, the gold has been safely transported to the port.

Now, there is only one last thing left, put this gold on board!

The train drove directly to the port, and there was still a distance of hundreds of meters from the train parking space in the port to the Soviet cargo ship Eugene parked at the dock.

Just one last thing left.

Lornov cheered up. He knew that he must not relax his vigilance now. Maybe those guys would come here to grab it? More than 500 tons of gold, this is a number that drives countless people crazy.

Moreover, the transport work is very slow.

Standing on one of the highest points of the pier, Lornov personally supervised the handling, which was the final task.

As long as the gold is loaded onto the cargo ship, Lornov's mission will be over.

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

In fact, the size of this destroyer is a little small. If the news that the Eugene had transported gold leaked out, it might attract more pretenders. However, this destroyer represents the Soviet Union, and an attack on this warship means declaring war on the Soviet Union.

Moreover, only this one is not enough to attract the attention of other countries. If a large number of warships are dispatched in a mighty manner, then other countries will definitely be the first to be alert. On the contrary, it will make the gold unable to be transported 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, too noticeable.

The most worrying 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, someone was already observing the roof of a small building.

As we guessed right, the Soviets really unloaded and loaded the ship from here. Facing the sea breeze and carefully observing this side with binoculars, Holmonkman sat down and looked relaxed.

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

For this batch of gold, Romania almost dispatched all the staff. Finally got them in Valencia. Next, you need to hand over the information to the military. You must know that the military has sent a lot of ships for this operation.
