Chapter 57 Efficient Me Great Britain
For the leaders of Croatian Ustasha, buying lives with money was considered a way out. No one knew better than they did in their hearts how many lives Ustasha had in his hands.
In terms of the things that Ustasha did after the Germans, it was not too much to be cleaned out by Tito. Tito had no reason to be merciful, and the consequences of doing so might be resented by the Serbs.
Although the Serbs were only 40% of the population of Yugoslavia, they were at least the largest ethnic group. Tito had to consider the feelings of the Serbs.
For Allen Wilson, he did not mind giving these people a life as long as he could recover this stolen money. This was not for his own sake, he knew very well in his heart that the British Empire was indeed very short of money now. The Sunset Empire is only a shell, if the Empire has no problem with internal blood production, it will not give in to the United States one after another.
With this kind of one-shot environment, it’s no wonder that Allenwell took an interest in this matter and asked whether the depositor was alive and whether the notes, which were used as evidence, were still there.
Rasmovitch, of course, said that it was still there, but would not be handed over just because of a few words from Allen Wilson, and that it could only be handed over if the British Empire gave a written guarantee of the safety of those of them.
“I will report to London immediately, Mr. Rasmovitch, surely you understand the importance of this matter. And it would be wise not to get the idea of deceiving the British Empire.” Alan Wilson painfully agreed to the other party’s willingness to liaise with London, but still gave a warning, “This is a secret affair, and secrecy is very important. You people are pro-German forces, and in the context of countries celebrating their victory over Germany, helping to get you off the hook could put the national prestige of the British Empire in jeopardy, so you need to understand the seriousness of the problem.”
As with the matter of the Yugoslav Fatherland Army, the matter of these Croatian Ustasha leaders falls into the category of what can only be done but not said. It’s not so much a matter of morality; in the current context of Yugoslavia, Tito controls the whole situation, and Croatia’s dream of becoming an independent country has been dashed.
In this case, Ustasha’s stolen money with the dream of independence dashed, naturally became unclaimed property. Whoever has the chance to get it will count it as his, and I believe that Rasmovic himself will not object.
Of course Rasmovic will not object, he and his men can not avoid being purged, all depends on whether the stolen money is real or not.
The stolen money in the Vatican Bank, Allen Wilson can understand, the European Axis powers and affiliated forces of the flow of funds, nothing more than a few places, looking for a place to bury, the U.S. military traced to the mine treasure belongs to this type of, into bits and pieces to carry to the South American countries, South American countries in the Second World War in the gold reserves have soared, is a few times dozens of times the upsurge.
The third place is close to the Vatican, the Vatican Bank, originally known as the “Bank of Religious Affairs”, is a private bank ordered by Pope Pius XII during World War II.
It is the world’s most mysterious financial institution because of its completely opaque capital operation, except for the Holy See, no one knows the bank’s management, capital and other key information, and even no organization has the power to supervise and manage it.
So for an outsider to understand such an institution and discover some of its secrets is an almost impossible task.
The Vatican was deeply involved in the situation in the Balkans during World War II because Croatia was Catholic and Serbia was Orthodox, and it made perfect sense for Rasmovic, the Croatian leader, to hide the stolen money in the Vatican bank.
Without the slightest concealment, after meeting with Rasmović, Alan Wilson put the whole thing in a detailed report to inform the London side.
He then saw a side of the British Empire’s efficiency that he had never seen before in his entire career as a civil servant. In less than thirty-six hours, strictly speaking, three military transport planes landed at the military airport in the state of Kernten.
“I thought the Germans were making a comeback?” Watching the people among the transport planes fish out, Alan Wilson sighed helplessly, it was a miracle that they hadn’t been shot down after flying here from the British mainland.
The three military transport planes that landed were ju52 transport planes, the most famous transport plane of the German army in the Second World War, before the war as a civilian aircraft opened up many new routes, during the war it participated in all the important military operations of the German army.
Gathering his lapels, Allen Wilson greeted the men who had come over from the mainland.
“Liaison Officer Alan isn’t it, I’m from MI6, heard about you from Philby.” The visitor took the initiative to extend his hand and shake Allen Wilson’s hand, introducing himself, “Just call me Carl, we’ve been really afraid of being shot down since we received instructions from the Foreign Office to get three old transport planes to fly over.”
“It’s better to phase out these German transports earlier, their performance can’t keep up anymore. Besides, it’s not wartime now, there’s no need to impersonate the Germans.” Allenwell’s joked, a look at these German military transport planes, there is no less in the wartime to carry out missions behind enemy lines, a little bold to guess, maybe it has been to Yugoslavia several times.
“Let’s meet with these Croats, Whitehall is taking this very seriously. After all, we’re trying to restore order after the war, and it’s important to go after the possessions the Germans looted from various countries during the war.”
Karl righteously want to do justice to the European countries deeply poisoned by Germany, this Alan Wilson is just to hear. What justice needs the support of these people from MI6? These people also flew German transport planes to, this is not obvious is to do some steal the hook?
The British Empire is not efficient? It also depends on when, at least for the sake of money, the gentlemen showed unheard of efficiency and immediately met with Rasmovitch and these people.
“This is a written agreement issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, if Mr. Rasmovitch can help us recover the wealth belonging to the victimized countries of Europe in the Vatican, it is a reflection with the evils of the war time.” Karl simply took out a document and handed it over to the opposite side of Croatia to go through, “Some of the people who follow Germany, either out of necessity or threatened by the Germans, the civilized world’s way of dealing with it, of course, is to be flexible, and if there are no comments, follow us to the Vatican right away now.”
With those words Karl handed the written document directly to Allen Wilson, and with that the eyes of the Croatian Ustasha leaders, including Rasmovic, shifted to Allen Wilson.
“I’ll keep the document for now!” Allen Wilson collected the document first without a trace, “I hope this operation has a good outcome.”
