Chapter 348: Unsung Hero
"Very good, well done."
Eder was in the vault at the Reserve Bank of Bucharest, looking at the gold engraved in Russian in front of him, and praising Milok and Karuste, who were following him.
This batch of gold in Kazan was escorted by Christo, Shilka, Varissi and others for nearly half a month, and finally arrived safely in Romania. After their ship arrived in Konstancha, a regiment was sent by the Praetorian Guard to take charge of its security, and they also controlled the entire route arrangement, not allowing it to take a step out of sight. The mission was not completed until it was all delivered to the Reserve Bank's underground vault.
As for the safety of the Reserve Bank, this is not a problem at all. The bank has multiple protections, and the door to the underground vault alone has three layers, all of which are made of all-metal. In addition, the Reserve Bank is not open to the public, so it will not give people the opportunity to fish in troubled waters at all. And next to it there was a barracks a hundred meters away, where a regiment of Janissaries was stationed. There are also alarms in the bank that are connected directly to the barracks, and if there is a situation, within three minutes the heavily armed army will appear inside the bank. Unless the enemy hits Bucharest, it is absolutely impossible to transport it away.
Listening to the king's praise, Milok, who was mainly in charge of the specific work, said cautiously: "This is not only the result of our intelligence department's ability to rely on our intelligence, but also the efforts of the whole kingdom. ”
Eder didn't reply to Miloke's modest words, he looked back before speaking: "Among them, the ability of your intelligence department is the key to this operation, so there is no need to be modest. No one can take credit away from you, and this is the best reward for those who have sacrificed for Romania. ”
The reason why Edel would say such a thing was because the chief of the guard handed him the list of intelligence officers who had died in this operation. This touched Eder a lot, don't look at this operation so smoothly, in fact, it can only be completed with the cooperation of many departments.
In order to ensure this operation in recent years, the intelligence department, which is the main body, has been the size of three or four file boxes for the basic information of each route alone, not to mention the infiltration and official bribery in various places, as well as the setting up of stations, and so on. These are the painstaking efforts of unknown and hard-working front-line intelligence officers.
And for this batch of gold reserves, which have contributed greatly to the development of Romania, the list of those who died alone is several pages long. Many of them are caused by natural and man-made disasters, and only a few of them are discovered and eliminated.
For example, the 'Black Wolf' Balopak that Edel saw on the list was a veteran intelligence officer who had carried out many missions and had a good evaluation. In 1913, he was sent to Russia as the head of an intelligence station, and was killed by gangsters in March 1916. The reason is very simple, as a disguised identity is a small grain merchant, and the gangsters are completely motivated by wealth, and kill this excellent intelligence officer for more than ten tens of rubles.
Of course, Baro Pike is not alone, such as the 'Red Fox' Loliya, 'Turtledove' Schalke, 'Black Panther' Natalie, etc., all of whom have encountered various accidents.
So the intelligence officers who were sent out were not as glamorous as everyone thought, and many of them had to deal with all kinds of environments that they didn't like at all, and they were completely talking and laughing with the executioner who killed their friends and colleagues. In order to obtain information, various means were used, and the sacrifices made were also very large.
As for the success of the lurk, it has become basic common sense to fully integrate into the identity, just as Federesi's transformation from a student to an aristocratic style, and then to a shipyard skilled worker, are all basic skills.
And it was through this list and Calucter's account that Eder learned about the hardships and difficulties of intelligence officers. It's not at all like the beautiful women in the incense car, personable, or athletic and various high-tech blessings that I learned about in the film and television in my previous life. And these are basically to satisfy the people's various fantasies about the intelligence department.
The real situation may be that it has been lurking in the local area for a few years, more than ten years, or even a lifetime. They almost forgot about their own family or friends, and could only live silently in the lurking local area, waiting for the call of the organization. Even the sacrifice is basically unknown, and it is not even recognized by the motherland. And they can maintain this two-faced life entirely by virtue of their love and dedication to the motherland.
Of course, as his superiors, Milok or Calust and others are also very concerned about these front-line intelligence personnel, and give help to their families and intelligence personnel in all aspects. For example, let them see the letters from their family members, and sometimes secretly organize them to get together to connect with each other, so that they can feel the care of the organization.
However, as an intelligence department, there is not only warmth, but also sensitive cold winds. There have also been many hunts and killings of the intelligence officers of the mutinous organization, after all, people have all kinds of ideas, and many ideas are dangerous. These tools also allow them to understand the dangers of intelligence officers, so that they can have more concerns when making choices.
Of course, these are last resorts, and more often than not, they require personal integrity and perseverance. Therefore, in the selection of intelligence personnel, the requirements for all aspects have always been very strict. This is not only for the sake of countries and organizations, but also for them.
The rapid development of Romania is not only due to Eder's foresight, but also the support of Romania from all sides, and his role is only to make it avoid detours, and cannot directly replace its pace of progress. As the eyes and ears of the kingdom, the intelligence services are of course very important.
Eder is also very aware of this, which is why he brought Milok and Caluster with him when he inspected the results, which is an affirmation of their achievements.
Of course, in addition to spiritual encouragement, material rewards must also be given, but half of these rewards are given to the middle and lower classes. And for those who reach the rank of Calust and Miroc, the affirmation from the king is the greatest reward.
Edel continued to look at the gold as he asked, "You have a list of the rewards for this operation, and I will give them to these people who were born and died for the kingdom in person." ”
As the main person in charge, the gray-haired Millock replied: "Okay Your Majesty, I will draw up one when I go back." ”
Looking at Miloc's gray hair, Edel sighed and said, "Miloc, I'm very satisfied with your work, just don't work too hard." ”
In the face of the king's concern, Miloch still said in his tone with an expression: "This is all for the kingdom, and the current situation in Europe cannot allow our intelligence department to relax in the slightest. ”
Miloke's words reminded Edel of the current battle situation, and he couldn't help but sigh. "Yes, it's too important for Romania right now, and the truth can't be relaxed."
"But Miloc, you need to pay attention to your body, you are the most capable intelligence manager in our country, and I can't find anyone to take over if you are tired."
In response to Eder's teasing words, Milok also replied, "I will pay attention, Your Majesty." Romania will not be allowed to be suppressed in intelligence. ”
The conversation between Edel and Milok didn't make any waves in Caust's heart at all. Born as the chief of the guard, he knows his strengths and weaknesses. As the most trusted person around the king, this is his advantage. However, in terms of intelligence work, he is really inferior to Milok, after all, this is not his specialty.
"By the way, what happened to Donovsky, who took five tons of gold and left?"
"We have exchanged him for a check of the same value and a national debt of ****, and he has already left Romania with these. As a smart man, I believe he will bring this secret into the coffin"
At this time, Donovsky, who was in high spirits on a cruise ship, suddenly sneezed. The wife next to him asked with concern, "Honey, what's wrong?"
Donovsky looked at the surface of the Mediterranean, felt the warm Dead Sea breeze, and replied to his wife: "It's okay, it's just that I suddenly feel a little itchy in my nose." ”
