Rebirth of the National Marshal

"I will equip you with this armored company, but the number of tanks in the whole company must be strictly controlled, and must not exceed 50 tanks. I will give you a few spare ones, and your personnel here can go back for training. When you come back, the three regiments on the front line will be equipped with an armored company first, and we will 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 must have an armored regiment. Now the organization of a security regiment is basically the same as that of an infantry division. Giving them this armored company can help them expand slowly in the future, which can be regarded as an advance warm-up. If they have never seen these big guys, they will inevitably feel unfamiliar when they are equipped at the beginning. If they want to form combat effectiveness, they will have to wait a long time. The current situation is just right.

"Reporting to the commander-in-chief, we found some good stuff downstairs, it looks like gold or something." Just as the two guys were watching the soldiers arguing about moving things, a company commander ran up from downstairs. When he heard about gold, he immediately started running. Before Mao Yuanshan could go over to take a look, he ran into the warehouse. He was really blinded by money and ran much faster than before.

Mao Yuanshan's pace was not slow. After all, he found 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 results were not very good. He did not find any good things. There were only a dozen kilograms of gold. It was different here. This was the second largest city in the entire Far East. If you want to save some valuables, you will definitely put them here first. The location here is much better than Vladivostok. Although Vladivostok is the base of the Soviet Pacific Fleet, it is in a marginal area. It is very likely to store some weapons and equipment. If they are allowed to store gold and other valuables, no one will put them there. Is it too dangerous? If it is captured, it must be someone else's. It is better to put things in inland areas for safety.

Moreover, this place is also the passenger hub of the Trans-Siberian Railway. If there is any problem, the goods can be loaded onto the train and sent to Moscow in a few days. However, those who put the things there did not expect that hundreds of thousands of soldiers here would retreat so quickly. Before, the army put all the valuables in the city in this military base, and the military base finally moved them all to this warehouse. After all, the military base is on the surface, and it is the primary target of the air force. If all these things were bombed, it would be really heartbreaking. From the beginning of the war to now, the warehouse below has never been discovered. This is still the safest place, so it is best to put the gold here.

"What's the big fuss? I thought you had found so many good things. I didn't expect that these things, these things, are not even as rich as the Japanese who were confiscated by the commander-in-chief in the capital. There are only a few coins, and you put all this garbage up there. You are really a group of people who have never seen money. The commander-in-chief has finally embarrassed me today." There were only more than twenty boxes of gold below. Xiangzi's box didn't look very big either. Apart from that, there were some silver and other things left. There were a lot of Soviet banknotes lined up over there, but these things had no purchasing power in the international market and were almost like waste paper. However, Mao Yuanshan could use them to pay the Soviets. We don't need them, but you can. Although you are prisoners now, you can find a way to bring them to your families.

However, whenever there is a war, except for the US dollar, the paper money of various countries basically has little purchasing power, and the country's currency depreciates severely. The British Empire is powerful enough, known as the empire on which the sun never sets, and the pound sterling was once the strongest currency in the world. But after two world wars, not only is it worthless, but its influence in the world has also declined. The most influential currency in the world has become the US dollar.

The main reason is that during World War II, the British Empire was afraid that its homeland would be occupied by the Germans, so all the precious gold and antiques were shipped to the United States, making the US dollar the strongest currency in the world.

Later, the British felt regretful for their behavior, but there is no regret medicine in this world. You have already done it and you have to pay the price for your actions. It was you who made the Americans famous, it was you who made the Americans the world hegemon, and it was you who made the US dollar the world currency replacing the pound, mainly because of gold. Therefore, if Mao Yuanshan wanted to gain economic advantage, he had to plunder a large amount of gold.

In this world, Mao Yuanshan also obtained a lot of gold. Anyway, after obtaining the gold, Mao Yuanshan stored all of it and never used it. He was thinking that when the domestic legal currency depreciated in the future, he could issue a stronger currency. This was just a prototype in his mind, and he had not thought about how to implement it specifically, mainly because he had not reached that stage yet.

It is not easy to establish a complete monetary system, among which gold is the most important thing. If your currency cannot be turned into precious metals, then it is almost the same as a piece of waste paper. The most important thing about paper money is credibility. As long as the credibility is achieved, paper money is money. How can you make money as quickly as printing money by doing other things?

The Soviets were really poor. If they put all their stuff here, the total would be estimated at only 2000 million oceans. In addition to the gold, there were some other things, but they were not of much use to Mao Yuanshan. However, it was better to have these things than to have nothing. The entire city was plundered of more than 2000 million oceans of wealth, which was really amazing. I wonder where these Soviets transported all the wealth?

"Don't complain. It's better to have these things than nothing. Let's pack up and go upstairs. The air in this underground warehouse is not very good. If you stay here for a long time, you will feel uncomfortable." Mao Yuanshan was about to pull Kong Erlangzi upstairs, but this guy seemed to have discovered something else.
