Chapter 56 – There’s a Stolen Sum of Money
“Do we pretend we didn’t see it and the matter doesn’t exist? Ay!” Edward Bridges sighed as he leaned against the back of his chair as if he had no bones, “We can accept a limited number of Fatherlanders, after all, the King of Yugoslavia is still in London, but the number should not be too great.”
“Then give encouragement amongst the telegrams.” Norman Brooke nodded in agreement, “Authorize the little civil servant to take a strong stance on the expulsion of the Germans, as stated in the telegram. The matter of the Yugoslav Fatherland Army can be netted.”
Alan Wilson, who was still in Austria, did not expect to receive an assist from London, which was a real surprise. I did not realize that the original London is ready to accept a part of the Fatherland Army, this may be the style of the old imperialism, obviously doing murder and fire, but also pay attention to the food.
With this telegram full of flexibility, in fact, in a sense, gave Allen Wilson more room for maneuver. He was not to know that Britain historically ended up accepting a group of less than 10,000 people size of the Fatherland Army and then repatriating the rest who were on the Austrian border.
He didn’t need to know either, because the current chaos on the border was now getting to his head, with George sending over surveys alone of the National Front in Albania, the Ustasha in Croatia, and the Territorial Defense Army in Slovenia, each of which was a pseudo-army that had been previously supported by Germany.
“The Soviets have a saying about pro or con class division.” Alan Wilson slammed the investigation report on the table and said with an angry grunt, “All of them are pro-German, it’s only right that Tito should finish them off, sooner or later they will all become German soap.”
Alan Wilson are angry with class to evaluate these organizations, in fact, in the middle of World War II, Germany’s racial ideology affected the whole of Europe, the world advocating the national ethnicity above all the ideology can not exceed the racism, however, the racists of all countries will stand in their own national ethnicity position to kill each other?
The realistic answer is no. Before the German invasion of France in World War II, the most intense vigilance against Germany in France was not the right wing, but the French Communist Party; instead, the right-wingers were generally pro-German, and when the Germans fought their way in, the prevailing choice of nationalists in France was to be a bandwagon party rather than to hold up the flag of the nation’s ethnicity in resistance.
It’s not just France that’s like that, France’s problems aren’t that serious in Europe, it’s the Eastern European countries that are serious. As it is, didn’t the Fatherland Army and the Croatian Ustasha, who were supposed to hate each other and did have a blood feud in the midst of the war, come to surrender to the British by coincidence?
The two main military organizations that set up concentration camps for each other and cleansed each other’s peoples, bumped into Tito and stopped fighting, and lived to tell the tale.
“Liaison officer, things being what they are, there are a few commanders in Ustasha that want to see you.” George also knew after a few days of contact that Alan Wilson, had no sympathy for these German remnants, but still gritted his teeth and said, “Said they had something important to say.”
“I can understand the desire for survival in wanting to stay alive, but unlike the Yugoslavian Fatherland Army, we in Britain don’t have the slightest connection to Ustasha.” Alan Wilson scratched his head, his face full of disinterest.
Although he already had a plan to put these pro-German racists on Patton’s side, he had no plans to communicate with the Croatian Ustasha, and the more people who knew about it, the more likely the plan would fail.
As long as the time came for Mihajlovic to cross the border with the Fatherland Army and cause a herd effect, other pro-German organizations would instinctively follow, so there was no need to communicate anything with these organizations.
Seeing Alan Wilson’s lack of interest, George spoke up with some urgency, “They said it might benefit you.”
“Ah!” Allen Wilson instantly changed his face, with an expression of I understand, and said with a valiant smile, “I see, bring him to bring them over tomorrow, I can’t make it difficult for you.”
Alan Wilson felt that it must have been George who received any benefits. For money, no shabby! He happened to be from British India, and in terms of professionalism, it was even more excessive than on the European side.
After promising to do so, Allen Wilson went straight to rest, in May, on the Austrian and Yugoslavian borders. Countless people stayed up all night wondering if the Goddess of Fortune still had mercy on them.
The goddess of fate never pity anyone, these 100,000 counts are still increasing the group, their fate are in the hands of London, can also be said to pinch in the hands of Allen Wilson liaison officer.
The meaning of the telegram sent back from London is very clear, has given Alan Wilson the opportunity to maneuver flexibly, but also because of the local diplomat George, he finally decided to meet with Ustasha these pro-German armed leaders.
Despite the meeting, Allen Wilson was not prepared to leave the other side alive, the established end of these Croats was to be cleaned out by their kinsman Tito.
“Honorable Liaison Officer, we actually have a stash of funds at the Vatican Bank.” Rasmovic, the leader of Ustasha, took the initiative to speak up when he saw Alan Wilson, “This is our Croatian government’s running money, hidden in the Vatican Bank through German and Italian channels.”
“How much is there, in banknotes or gold. Where is it?” Alan Wilson heard all of a sudden is not sleepy, there is money this thing did not say earlier. If I said earlier will slow you?
Now the British Empire lacks what, do not consider the face of the words, is the lack of money! Hear Rasmovich has a sum of money, Allen Wilson directly changed his attitude.
Now from the U.S. Army to find the mine treasure, in fact, less than two months have passed. When the U.S. Army attacked Germany, one of the women provided the U.S. Army with a very important piece of intelligence: the Kesselroda mine hid a large fortune buried by the Nazis.
The U.S. Army followed this piece of information and eventually found the buried German treasure, filling hundreds of trucks. The gold alone was worth over $200 million dollars.
Allen Wilson didn’t expect an astronomical amount of treasure from a German-supported Croatian pseudo-government. But it wasn’t expected to be any less, and his voice became eager as he spoke to Rasmovic.
“It’s gold and precious stones, I don’t know if our lives can be guaranteed, we don’t want to fall into Tito’s hands.” Rasmovitch inquired about what he thought was very important.
“If you can cooperate with the British Empire to get the money out, we have a need to communicate.” Alan Wilson mused for a moment, “It would benefit us all wouldn’t it?”
Recovering the account, as the liaison officer of the Allied Forces, Allen Wilson was obliged to do so, and he wouldn’t keep any bit of the stolen money, this stolen money arrived and all of it was given to the British Empire.
