Just like the reorganization in Tunisia, as soon as the additional personnel arrived, their education level and profession were classified, and then they were added to various search teams. Other things would be discussed first to establish a sense of collective belonging.
Along with the additional personnel, the second batch of tungsten ore shipped from China, 6,000 tons of tungsten ore, arrived in Marseille.
It must be said that when those corrupt officials make money, their efficiency is absolutely surprisingly high. It is even hard to imagine that they can prepare and transport so much tungsten ore in just over a month.
It can only be said that money can really promote people's enthusiasm. People die for money and birds die for food. This is the same for everyone, and George is the same. Just when the task force entered France and the Allied forces marched to the north and attacked Paris, George drove to Switzerland.
During the war, Switzerland's border control was very strict. This strictness was to prevent Jews and resistance elements from entering Switzerland and offending Germany. Switzerland's neutrality has always been flexible. However, this strict control is the same for diplomatic passports. You can easily drive into Switzerland by showing your diplomatic passport. Thanks to Gu Weijun, George's passport is a diplomatic passport.
This diplomatic passport has no national status and is treated equally. Even George's car was not checked and passed through customs directly.
The whole customs clearance process is so easy.
In Geneva, when George met Berlin again, this once energetic guy looked a little haggard. This is not difficult to understand. After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Allied forces that have gained a foothold in France will point to there next - Germany, and at this time, the Russians are also marching towards Germany.
Germany has reached its end.
The collapse of the empire is just around the corner...
However, before the collapse of the empire, we can still help them and earn a little gold.
"How much tungsten ore did you bring?"
As soon as they met, Berlin asked directly.
"20,000 dollars a ton, just as we agreed, we will take as much tungsten as you want."
He was so anxious because Germany needed tungsten, not only for the production of arms, but also for the production of tungsten carbide knives. More importantly, they needed armor-piercing bullets made of tungsten carbide. Without the tungsten mines in Portugal and Spain, they had neither knives for producing weapons nor tungsten core armor-piercing bullets that could destroy T34 and IS-2 at a long distance.
So, as long as there is tungsten, it will be fine. As for gold, it is not worth mentioning.
"5,000 tons! The next batch should have 2,000 tons, but it will take ten days."
George did not intend to complete the transaction in one go. After all, this was a transaction of hundreds of millions of dollars, or... a transaction involving nearly 100 tons of gold. If the Germans came to steal from the black, it would be a mess.
"What! 5,000 tons!"
Berlin was surprised.
"This, this, how did you get it in?"
"This is just the first batch. In the next two months, I can provide another 10,000 tons of tungsten ore, provided that you have enough gold."
Ten thousand tons is the guarantee given by the uncle of the king. The guarantee of these people is not credible, but when it comes to business matters, they are absolutely hard-working. After all, no one thinks money is hot. Never doubt their motivation to make money.
"There must be gold! Don't worry, we can deliver it in Swiss Bank, as long as there is tungsten ore!"
Obviously Berlin is very clear about the other party's concerns. In fact, the Third Reich is not short of gold. After all, in the past few years, they have seized thousands of tons of gold from the central banks of the Netherlands, Belgium and Norway. All this gold has been used by Germany to purchase various materials from neutral countries such as Spain, Portugal, Sweden and Switzerland.
Not only that, Germany also obtained a large amount of gold from the people of the occupied countries through various means. The gold was stored in the secret accounts of the SS, the Imperial Security Bureau and other agencies, which were completely independent of the German central bank system.
Of course, this gold was also used to buy various materials needed by Germany, but most of the time, it was used for secret trade, such as buying oil imported from the United States from neutral countries such as Spain, Portugal and Turkey.
"You don't have to think about how it was transported in. Anyway, you should be ready. We will complete the transaction in these two days. By the way, can you transport the tungsten ore out of Switzerland?"
Obviously, George's worries were unnecessary. As a country that made a fortune in the war, Switzerland never asked about things that should not be asked, just like Swiss banks will never care whether gold is a sack of gold teeth. In their view, gold is always gold, and it is difficult to tell which piece is black and which piece is white.
In fact, George is the same. Gold is gold.
Tungsten ore is packed in wooden boxes with a box of 100 kilograms.
5,000 tons of tungsten ore filled several warehouses, which were not far from the border and rented by George temporarily.
The Germans paid very quickly, and the speed was even a little unexpected.
After inspecting the goods, they paid the money readily.
The money was not much.
5,000 tons of tungsten ore, 20,000 US dollars per ton.
That is only 100 million US dollars.
Is it a lot?
However, the Germans did not have so many US dollars to pay the bill. They paid with gold.
The current gold content of the US dollar is 0.888671 grams.
100 million US dollars, that is 88.8671 tons.
Less than 100 tons.
Small money!
Of course, the Germans did not hand over the gold directly to George, but deposited the gold into hundreds of Swiss bank accounts according to his request. You can withdraw the gold with just the deposit certificate.
The Swiss will neither ask the identity of the withdrawer nor ask about the origin of the gold. During the entire World War II, Germany delivered thousands of tons of gold through Swiss banks. This is still officially documented. According to official investigations in later generations, Germany delivered at least 3,000 tons of gold through Swiss banks. However, in a deliberately simplified withdrawal procedure of the Swiss Bank, more than 2,000 tons of gold are missing.
As for where the gold went and who got it, I am afraid only God knows. Anyway, it is an unsolved mystery.
After the withdrawal order was obtained, the entire transaction was completed.
Compared to extracting gold, George is more concerned about the system reward at this moment. After all, this transaction is a small goal, and it is in US dollars!
The profit is about 90 million US dollars!
Soon, the system reward came!
At the same time, words appeared on the light screen again.
