"Walter, a car of gold bars worth 5.4 US dollars, a total of 20 cars?"

Martin received the call at home, and immediately thought about the gold.

Even if it was just one or two cars of gold, it was very valuable.

The "value" that Martin considered was not the value of gold itself, but the role of gold as a universal precious metal in the economy.

Although it is no longer the "gold standard" era, the central banks of various countries still maintain the habit of gold reserves.

For example, the United States has more than 8,000 tons of gold in reserve, ranking first in the world.

The gold reserves of China, a great oriental country, also exceed 1,000 tons.

The gold reserves of neighboring Tianzhu are more than 700 tons.

Why do governments of various countries reserve gold?

Because gold is a kind of existence that can still become hard currency after the collapse of the paper currency system.

And gold is a commodity that is not afraid of the influence of loan relationships.

Therefore, the country's gold reserves will not be unnecessarily affected by any changes in the international banking system.

This ensures a country's defense against the impact of international investment funds.

If a country has a high gold reserve, it means that the country has a strong ability to resist the impact of international investment funds, which can help to make up for the international balance of payments deficit and maintain a country's economic stability.

During the Asian financial crisis, most Asian countries, including the four Asian tigers, were hit hard by international hot money - the economy collapsed, and wealth was plundered by those funds through financial means.

Why did those international hot money and funds choose them?

Having money is one aspect.

Not having enough gold reserves, resulting in weak defense, is another aspect.

Later, Hong Kong retained a certain vitality because of the help of the mainland.

Countries such as Indonesia, Kimchi, and Thailand lost everything.

(PS: During the Asian financial crisis, international speculators actually attacked Hong Kong twice. In late October 1997, international speculators moved to Hong Kong, an international financial center, and pointed their spearheads at Hong Kong's linked exchange rate system. On that day, the Taiwanese authorities suddenly abandoned the New Taiwan dollar exchange rate, depreciating it by 3.46% in one day, increasing the pressure on the Hong Kong dollar and the Hong Kong stock market.

On October 23, 1997, Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index fell 1211.47 points; on the 28th, it fell 1621.80 points, falling below the 9,000 point mark. Facing the international With the fierce attack of financial speculators, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government, with the support of the mainland, insisted on reiterating that it would not change the current exchange rate system. The Hang Seng Index rose and reached the 10,000-point mark again. International financial speculators thus temporarily gave up this hard bone and turned to attack the Korean country.

In July 1998, international financial speculators took advantage of the turmoil in the US stock market and the continued decline in the Japanese yen exchange rate to launch a new round of attacks on Hong Kong.

The Hang Seng Index plummeted to more than 6,600 points.

Afterwards, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government, under the support of the mainland government,The Hong Kong Monetary Authority used the foreign exchange fund to enter the stock market and futures market to absorb the Hong Kong dollars sold by international speculators, stabilizing the exchange rate at 7.75 Hong Kong dollars to 1 US dollar.

A month later, international speculators suffered heavy losses and failed to realize their attempt to use Hong Kong as a "super cash machine". )

For a country, the importance of gold reserves is unquestionable, which represents a country's ability to resist financial risks.

Although Guinea produces gold mines, given its once inefficient mining capacity (until Martin's company intervened, the efficiency was high), and because the country is too poor and needs to use precious metals to exchange money, its current gold reserves are not high, and can even be said to be very small.

And this batch of gold from Kazafi will also be a very useful financial strategic resource after Martin enters West Africa in the future.

"We must get them." Martin said secretly.

Three days later.

Iraq, Baghdad International Airport.

"Boss, you don't have to come in person." Gordon said helplessly.

Martin smiled and said, "It's not that I don't believe in your ability, but it's not easy to transport those things out of Libya. We have to borrow a plane from the military."

"Military?" Gordon hesitated, "Will the news leak out?"

"Don't worry, I come to Iraq twice a year, not for fun. The top military officials here have been dealt with long ago." Martin was confident.

"By the way, has Satan been dealt with?"

"It's done. They caught Saif, the second son of Kazafi, and seized all the ten trucks. They are now hiding in one of Saif's hiding places in Tarhuna." Gordon said.

"Great, I'll get a transport plane and ask them to find a suitable landing spot nearby. If they can't find one, tell me and I'll switch to a helicopter. Tell them not to worry. Even if they are discovered by the Libyan army, they can just say they are American soldiers."

"Understood, I'll contact Satan immediately."

…………

Time goes back a bit.

Satan drove the car and followed the convoy.

The outline of a city appeared in front.

For those big countries, Tarhuna, with a population of about 110,000, is just a small city, but in Libya, it is already a big city.

Tarhuna has not yet fallen into the hands of the opposition.

Because this city is located in the desert west of Libya, its strategic position is not very important, and it is not a major transportation route.

Therefore, this is one of the few cities in Libya that is still in the hands of the government army.

From this point of view, it is not impossible for Kazafi to choose to come here.

Satan frowned, struggling in his heart.

If the convoy drove into the city of Tarhuna, they would probably be surrounded by government forces. I wonder if the warrant issued by Mutasim would still work at that time?

ToDon't do it outside the city, that's what he was struggling with.

But soon, he stopped struggling with it.

Because when the convoy was still five or six kilometers away from the city of Tarhunai, it suddenly turned onto a fork road and drove to a more remote place.

"It seems we are lucky." The big dog driving the car grinned, obviously he just had the same idea as Satan.

"Yeah, good luck." Satan also smiled.

The convoy went further and further away along the path, and even in the end there was no road, just driving on a gray gravel ground.

After another half an hour, a small oasis appeared in front.

There was also a small group of shadowy buildings in the oasis. (To read the violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

The convoy did not change the route this time, and drove straight to the direction of the building complex.

Satan turned on the radio communication equipment that had been silent all the time, and said to the headset: "Guys, check your weapons and prepare for battle."

The ram's answer came from the headset: "OK, we can't wait any longer."
