Chapter 522: What does robbery mean

More than ten minutes later, Strong changed into a flawless shirt and without putting on a suit jacket, and hurried to the cabinet conference room in the White House with his female secretary Emma. At this time, all the cabinet members who could rush over were already sitting at the conference table with a serious expression.

Seeing Strong pushing the door in with her female secretary Emma, ​​Secretary of State Fisher immediately stood up and asked Strong in a very anxious tone: "Mr. President, have the New York Federal Reserve Bank vault and Fort Knox vault really been patronized by thieves?"

Because this series of events happened so quickly that it was dazzling and so quickly that the US government was overwhelmed. In addition to the blockade by all parties, the White House, except for the female secretary Emma and Vice President Gustin, the other cabinet members in the White House only knew that the vaults in the two places were stolen, but the specific situation still had to wait until President Strong came to the future before they could have an in-depth understanding.

At this time, Vice President Gustin was not in the United States either, so the channels for these cabinet members to obtain accurate information in a hurry were slightly inflated.

When they saw Strong coming in, they would of course hurriedly ask. After all, it was a vault rather than a granary. How much gold is stored in a country, it will directly affect the stability of the domestic market and the national reputation in the international community.

Such important strategic materials, if there is a problem... they dare not think about it at all, because... that is really terrible, it will be a disaster

Under the nervous gaze of these cabinet officials, they vomited a few mouthfuls of blood. Strong's face was gloomy, but there was no danger of fainting. He nodded heavily and said, "The 410 tons of gold belonging to us belonged to the New York Federal Reserve Bank vault was robbed."

"Oh my God, how is this possible?" Secretary of State Fisher exclaimed in shock. Several big question marks suddenly appeared on his forehead. He immediately asked: "The location of the vault is Wall Street. Are the policemen on patrol blind? Is it all the security measures in the vault that claim that even ants can't climb out of one of them are decorations? Could it be... wait."

Halfway through his words, Fisher's head was a little stunned and then he turned a little bit of his mind. He looked at President Strong in surprise, swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and said, "Mr. President, you...you just said... more than 8,000 tons of reserve gold in the Federal Reserve Bank vault have only lost 410 tons of our own? In other words..."

"You guessed it right." Strong nodded with a ugly expression and replied: "What is lost is only our gold, and the other gold stored in the vault has not been collected."

"This..." The guess in my heart received a positive response and affirmation from President Strong. Everyone couldn't help but open their mouths and widen their eyes. Look at me, I look at you, dumbfounded.

"And, there are two very unfortunate news that need to be notified." After looking at the cabinet official who was already dumbfounded, Strong couldn't help but raise his hand and rub his temples, waved his hand to the female secretary Emma, ​​and said, "You can explain."

"Yes, Mr. President." After hearing Strong's order, Emma, ​​the female secretary who almost shared honor and disgrace with Strong, certainly understood the difficulties Strong faced now. She nodded and agreed, took a small step forward, and said: "Gentlemen, ladies, in addition to the stolen 410 tons of gold in the Federal Reserve Bank vault, the Fort Knox vault in Kentucky has also been looted by robbers..."

"Wait" Before Emma finished speaking, the Minister of Finance Solis had already changed his face. He stood up from his seat with a whistle and looked at Emma in surprise and hesitated: "Emma, ​​what do you mean by looting all of you?"

The atmosphere in the conference room became even more solemn. Under the gaze of everyone, Emma took a breath, looked at Solis, and said, "Dear Minister Solis, what Emma said about looting is the meaning of the robbers completely emptied the Knoxburg vault..."

"This is impossible," a man in his fifties jumped up and shouted with a gloomy face: "There are 4,570 tons of gold in the Fort Knox vault, and our most elite army soldiers are stationed in Fort Knox. No robber can break through the firepower and blockade into the vault. Even if they enter the vault, how can they rob the 4,570 tons of gold?"

The man's questioning almost revealed the thoughts of everyone present. Faced with the inquiring eyes of these cabinet officials, Emma lowered her head: "Emma doesn't know how the robbers can enter the vault and how they stole gold. But the fact is that the vault in Fort Knox is now empty. Not only are all gold stolen, but a large amount of precious technical information stolen by the thieves, and in addition..."

Emma looked up at Strong, who looked gloomy but silent, sighed in her heart, and then said: "In addition to the stolen vault of Fort Knox, the new Dul88 armored tank that had just been successfully developed was also stolen by thieves, including everything in the research base."

"Everything?" Everyone was stunned.

"Yes, everything." Emma nodded affirmatively: "including brooms for sweeping the floor, mop mop, trash cans, water dispensers, purified water and buckets... The entire underground research base was emptied, the thief left nothing for us, and there was no useful clue on the scene."

"The New York Federal Reserve Bank vault was stolen 410 tons of gold, the Fort Knox vault was stolen 4,570 tons of gold, the new Dul88 armored tank that had been successfully developed and a large amount of technical information..." Finance Minister Solis calculated slightly in his heart, and a feeling of sadness rose from the bottom of her heart. She said in a lost voice: "The tank worth 100 billion US dollars, the tank worth 100 billion US dollars, the technical information worth 100 billion US dollars, the technical information worth 100 billion US dollars, the God..."

"Bang" Minister Solis had almost foresaw the scene of a public riot across the country after the news leaked. She also vaguely saw the scene of her cabinet officials being torn to pieces by angry people. She could no longer suppress the fear and panic in her heart. In addition, the old problem happened again at this time... She looked dark and she fainted on the ground.

Solis' coma made the tension in the conference room even more intense. Emma quickly stepped forward and pinched Solis's Renzhong pussy. After more than a minute, Solis opened his eyes in confusion and shouted: "God, what should we do now?"

"The first thing we need to do now is to block all the news stolen from the vault immediately, and we must not let this news be leaked." At the critical moment, President Strong still needs to carry the banner.

He stood up and took a step forward, and said in a deep voice: "Secondly, inform Cia to pay close attention to the bulk gold transactions in the international market. On the other hand, I think we need to find a sum of money as soon as possible."

"Money?" Everyone was stunned.

"That's right, it's money." Strong took a deep breath and said slowly: "If we can't find the stolen gold, we can only find a way to continue buying gold from other routes. The news cannot be blocked forever, we can only be fully prepared."

"But the question is, where does the money come from?" Secretary of State Fisher raised the biggest question. Yes, the government's finances have fallen into a state of crisis. All the ways to make money can be thought of have come from. Where does the money come from? What are the ways to make money?

When Strong was stunned when he heard Fisher's confusion, he was inevitably stunned. Yes, where did the money come from?

Just when everyone was stunned, a man looked thoughtful. After a few minutes, he slowly spit out four words: "Drugs, arms"

Since the Demon Hand of the Golden Triangle was taken away by Ye Yangcheng, the armed drug dealers in the Golden Triangle region have entered the process of territorial scramble. As the world's largest source of drugs, such a situation in the Golden Triangle region naturally greatly affects drug transactions in the international market.

The most intuitive situation is that the total amount of drugs exported by the Golden Triangle has dropped by 60% less than in previous years. The supply of drugs is also rising rapidly. If the drug production base in the Golden Triangle region can be regained at this time, with the US maritime power, it can fully undertake temporary drug transportation.

As long as this process is nothing unexpected, the US government will soon raise a large amount of funds to deal with the current fiscal crisis, and even buy the stolen gold through other channels to fill the gap.

In addition to drugs, arms are undoubtedly one of the most profitable industries in the world. The United States is the world's largest arms dealer. They have a complete transportation network and sales terminal. As long as the arms output is increased, it is completely feasible to raise large amounts of funds.

Although these two methods are old-fashioned, they are also the best way to solve the current problems

Moreover, the United States has not done such a thing. The demonic hand that he supported at the time is the best case.

As they thought about it, everyone was inevitably moved, and even President Strong showed an expression of intention.

As if seeing the reaction of everyone, the man who spoke up and struck while the iron was hot, said: "Although the Demon Hand is broken, the leader of the strongest forces is still ours. He only needs to integrate these forces and provide some support, and restore the Demon Hand's status in the Golden Triangle region is just around the corner."

Everyone likes to get something for nothing, and they also like to make a fortune.

The man's last sentence completely dispelled everyone's concerns. President Strong immediately made a decision: "Just do it like this."
