Chapter 1118: The Wealth of the Sea Bottom IV
The so-called Tsar's treasure refers to a batch of gold belonging to the last Tsar, amounting to 1,600 tons, and the total value is estimated to be more than $70 billion. Whether this staggering amount of gold existed or did not now belong to an unsolved mystery, just like the gold fleet, it will only be believed to be true when it is discovered.
No country can mobilize all resources to do one thing like the Golden Triangle Federation, and the salvage department has set up a Baikal Tsar's Treasure Exploration Team to conduct a detailed survey of Lake Baikal using the world's most advanced detection instruments.
"But the Tsar's treasure is a legend after all, the former Soviet Union did not find it, and the Russian government did not find it, maybe we spent so much energy and investment, but in the end we did not find a piece of gold?" Yaxin felt that this matter was not very reliable.
"Salvaging treasure is a matter of luck, whether it's true or not, I always have to gamble, even if I take out 100 million dollars as an investment, it's worth it, if I don't figure things out, I will sleep with a lot of thoughts, and the right is to buy peace of mind, just like you said, what if it's true?" Wu Chen said.
"The expert group of the Federal Government's Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank has been discussing the issue of issuing federal government currency, and has submitted several reports to the Administrative Affairs Committee, but you have not approved it, what do you think?" Yaxin said.
"If it were purely the federal government's own issuance of currency, involving only the Atlantis Sea States, the South Kuril Islands and the Socotra Islands, I might think about it, but the appetite of this group of experts is too great, and it is obviously a rhythm of death, of course I can't approve it."
"Our family's finances have not been very loose, of course, the last two to three years are a slight surplus, but the issue of currency is to have gold reserves as the basis, our family funds add up to more than 1,000 tons, there is really no bottom in my heart, according to my thoughts, at least to more than 3,000 tons, enough for 100 billion US dollars of exchange quota, this is only a reserve of a region of the Golden Triangle Federation."
"If you add all the member countries and candidate countries, we can't withstand it without 6,000 tons of gold reserves, but we don't have so much financial resources to get together so much gold, and the reason why we pay attention to the treasure of the shipwreck is also to get some benefits from it, especially gold." Wu Chen said with a wry smile.
No one would have thought that Wu Chen would take a vacation this year for the economic problems of the Golden Triangle Federation, especially to pay attention to gold reserves, which is to prepare for the issuance of his own currency, of course, just to prepare.
In fact, he did not make up his mind, the current mainstream of the central bank of the Golden Triangle Federal Government is the US dollar and Huaxia currency, and government experts call for the issuance of their own banknotes as soon as possible, which plays an important role in the economy of the Golden Triangle Federation.
The gold reserves of the Golden Triangle Federation, after all these years of mining and purchasing, have now reached more than 1,000 tons, which is neither too much nor too little, and in the past five years, the amount of gold has been recorded almost every year, which naturally contains some dark facts.
Atlantis International's gold group has its own large gold mines in Ghana, India, Canada, Brazil and Russia, such as a branch mine near Lake Baikal.
India's gold production is about 100 tons a year, but at least 60 tons or more goes into the coffers of the Golden Triangle Federation, and Ghana, which has just taken off the label of a least developed country, has been bought by mercenaries because of the fall in the international gold market prices and the fall in agricultural prices in the late nineties.
The largest source is Russia, with an annual output of more than 200 tons, half of which has to be repaid by the Atlantis International Commercial Bank, borrowing too much money. The Sukhoilog Gold Mine and the Olympic Gold Mine also belong to Wu Chen's mining area, and there is information about these two areas in my memory.
These are the main sources, the gold mines in Canada, the gold mines in Brazil, and the Lihil gold mines on the island of Lehull in Papua New Guinea also produce dozens of tons a year, and there are so many gold reserves left after the mining costs.
But the problem is that the experts of the federal government issue currencies within the scope of the 18 member countries of the Golden Triangle Federal Organization for International Cooperation and nine candidate countries, and this ambition makes Wu Chen feel that the world is spinning.
Paralyzed, such a large range of currency issuance, the workload is a headache to think about, African countries are a little easier, but there are Middle Eastern countries, European countries, and American countries, can you do things step by step!
Twenty-seven countries use the same currency, and the finances of the Golden Triangle Federation will be tied to the major member countries, and in case of economic turmoil or inflation in the member countries, the government will take measures to restrain it, and the finances of the federal government will be affected.
"Boss, the Moroccan government has officially responded, the request for a permanent naval base has been approved by His Majesty the King, and we have received the keys to the Strait of Gibraltar, which is great news for the navy." Valia called.
"Okay, inform the federal government to authorize the embassy in Morocco to sign an agreement with the Prime Minister's Office, this money is not enough to spend, and a naval base will have to invest billions of dollars, and I now dream of gold bricks falling from the sky." Wu Chen was obviously not very interested.
Guarding the gold mountain and crying poor, this is Wu Chen's current behavior, the key is that I haven't seen any country that has become rich and strong by salvaging sunken ships, these can only be used as his personal wealth, especially those gold coins, silver coins, gold and silver products and jewelry and handicrafts of historical significance, destroying and rerefining is a crime for all mankind, but if it is found and traced, it will also be a trouble, and the mercenary army cannot be the enemy of all countries in the world.
The treasure hunt nuclear submarine is currently in the waters off the Algarve in Portugal, looking for the whereabouts of the Spanish frigate Mercedes, which, according to memory, contains nearly 600,000 gold and silver coins and some artefacts.
Another ship, a hundred miles off the coast of Georgia in the United States, found the wreck of the shipwreck of the USS Republic of America, with more than 50,000 gold and silver coins and more than 14,000 artifacts on it.
The treasures on these two shipwrecks are cases that have long been turned into facts by a salvage company in the United States, thanks to the development of the network before the soul travels through time and space, Wu Chen clearly remembers some accurate information, which has won a lot of time and saved a lot of costs for the current treasure hunt.
The reason why he waited until now to implement the wealth information on the Internet was, on the one hand, that the mercenary corps' marine salvage technology level was not enough, and on the other hand, he did not have enough economic strength.
