[171] Gemma's request

() At this moment, Gemma's smile is like a poppy flower, so beautiful that it is suffocating, frightening, and desperate.

Gemma got dressed, took off the gold hairpin, pinched it in the palm of her hand, and adjusted her makeup in front of the mirror.

Gemma looked at the beautiful shadow in the mirror, as pure and flawless as a white lotus, and couldn't help groaning with a low smile: "Her Majesty can't imagine that General Singleton didn't betray the empire... Poor Green can't imagine that Father's The inheritance finally fell into my hands... The arrogant and greedy Earl of the North Sea could not have imagined that Gemma is not a weak woman, but the root cause of the turmoil in Egypt... Rest in peace, Sedurin, Sigta, your lives are worthless It will be in vain..." ..

After breakfast, Long Hao and Breeze pretended to just wake up, yawned, and came out to greet the two princesses.

"You two, you slept well last night, ah..."

"That's great!" Sherin Mir replied with a smile, "Last night was the best sleep I've had in months. I didn't have a single dream, and I slept until dawn."

Gemma also smiled and said, "I slept well too, but I had a lot of dreams..."

"Since you sleep well, you will be energetic."

Long Hao shook his spirits, bent over and asked Gemma, "Would the princess go to the bank now?"

"Yes, I can't wait for a moment." Gemma spread out her palm, and the golden hairpin was on it. She blinked and looked at Long Hao with deep meaning: "Master Earl, you should also be unable to wait?" ..

"Hahaha, it should be said that I am very curious about how rich the legacy left by the Sultan King will be. This is the most anticipated thing!"

An hour later, the small carriage hired by the four of Long Hao slowly stopped at the entrance of Winterthur Bank.

It was nine o'clock in the morning, and there were not many people at the gate of the bank. Only people in twos and threes wearing tall hats and fur coats would walk in.In this day and age, people who get bank loans far exceed deposits, and those who can enter and exit here are merchants who have started companies, or upper-class people with certain powers, and it is rare for ordinary people to see them.

The Bank of Winterthur consists of three conjoined buildings with five floors in the middle and three floors on each side.It forms a triangular shape that symbolizes strict hierarchy. The office hall is located on the first floor of the middle building. Once you walk in, the hall of more than [-] square meters is completely covered with hard floor tiles. A happy and cheerful feeling.

There are potted plants, seats and other decorations in the corner of the hall, and facing the gate is a row of counters separated by wire and glass.The staff of the bank sit inside, waiting for customers meticulously, or conscientiously chatting with customers through the window and handling business.

Gemma straightened her already upturned chest, went straight to an empty window, knocked on the wire, and sat down with her skirt up.

"Beautiful and distinguished lady, what kind of business do you want to handle? Our Winterthur branch provides the most favorable interest rate loan in the whole of Switzerland. 10 francs, the annual interest rate only needs 8 Percent ()! This is the agreement The writing is very detailed, you can read it..."

"I'm here to open a private safekeeping account!" Gemma took a breath and interrupted: "It's best to let the person in charge of your branch come out. This account is worth at least 1000 million francs!"

"...1000 million, oh my god..."

There was a moment of silence behind the counter, and there was a panic. Not long after, a staff member came out in a hurry, and respectfully asked Gemma to go upstairs to the VIP room for a detailed discussion.

Long Hao and three people.Nature also followed.

On the third floor, Yishui's red-lacquered nanmu floor, walls with interlayers, good sound insulation, and extremely quiet.

Sha Wei wore an elegant and capable bank uniform, and with a professional smile, he warmly received Gemma and the others.Naturally, during this process, Sha Wei never showed any expression that he had seen Long Hao and Breeze before.

"This is... a premium account, honorable lady, please wait a moment, I'll be right back!"

In the closed small reception room, Shawei saw the golden hairpin displayed by Gemma, and was justly surprised by the string of passwords that were displayed suddenly, and then apologized, got up and left quickly.

When Shawei came back again, he had an extra red file box in his hand, which was solemnly placed in front of Gemma.

"It contains the item list and estimated value of the account, please have a look!"

After verifying that the password was valid, Shawei found out the manifest file that was modified a few hours ago and handed it to Gemma.

When Gemma touched the list, her fingers trembled a little: "It's not easy, I spent so much effort to get this thing that should belong to me!"

...a total value of £4,880,956.59!

Gemma closed her eyes. Although the number was not as large as imagined, it was not lower than her psychological bottom line. After reading it, Gemma was a little strange: why most of the list was deposits and bonds, but there was so little real estate , the two are not proportional at all!

But then Gemma made a 'reasonable' explanation for herself: the family's real estate is all in Egypt, and now Egypt is in charge of the English team, so it is reasonable for Charles not to put the real estate in.

"Excuse me, do you need to withdraw all the items in the account?"

Shawei made a suggestion: "If you transfer the deposit inside to our bank, I can give you a deposit interest rate that is higher than other banks."

"Thank you for your kindness, there is no need to transfer the deposit... Yes, I want to take out all the items in the safe!"

"As you wish, please follow me to the vault!" After being rejected, Shawei was not disappointed at all, and still kept a perfect professional smile on his face.

Time slipped past noon, and four people walked out of the Winterthur Bank. A woman with an infinitely beautiful face was the first to step onto the carriage waiting at the door, holding a silver metal box in her hand.

The next three followed suit, and after the door of the carriage was closed, the carriage started slowly.

Inside the carriage, Princess Sherin Mir smiled and said: "Everything is going very smoothly, and I haven't met anyone from Singleton. It seems that they would never have thought that the legacy of Sultan Charles is stored in the local bank." , swaggeringly placed under their noses!"

Gemma hugged the silver metal box tightly, like an old hen guarding eggs, pecked and nodded: "Yes, I am really lucky. It seems that God is also blessing me..." But she thought in her heart: What is there? You guys from Singleton, that's all a lie!It's just that that guy Ganyou hasn't contacted me until now. It seems that something really happened!Hey, I can't care about him for now...

"My lord, where are we going now?" He opened the window.Gemma couldn't help asking in surprise when she saw that the carriage was going in the opposite direction and had no intention of going back to the hotel.

"Go to Basel Railway Station!" Long Hao turned his head and grinned.

In Basel's railway station, a red-painted train with a good appearance is quietly parked on the rails. There are two carriages hung behind the locomotive, and the configuration inside is the most first-class in Europe.

Sherin Mir was slightly surprised: "Is this the train chartered by the earl?"

Long Hao nodded, and said, "Yes. Princess Gemma has already obtained what she wants, so we don't have to hide our whereabouts anymore! Hehe, I'm going to the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Of course, the earl's pomp cannot be underestimated!"

"To Austria-Hungary? Oh, that's great!"

Hearing that he could go home, Sherin Mir's eyes lit up and he couldn't help clapping his hands in praise.

"What about our luggage?"

Gemma is careful.He frowned and asked, "Also, there are only four of us. Isn't it too wasteful to reserve two carriages?"

She was a little worried, not to mention that Long Hao wanted to take the opportunity to "kill him" when he saw that he had taken out Charles's inheritance, and charged this absolutely not small charter fare to himself.

"Don't worry about luggage."

Concerned about this, Long Hao responded: "I have already arranged for someone to go to the hotel to pick it up. I will be there later. As for booking two carriages, I promise it will never be a waste..."

Soon, Long Hao's words were clearly proved, a row of strangers in black clothes and black pants, black sunglasses on their faces, black brim hats on their heads, and black leather boots on their feet.Walked in neatly from the entrance, there were no less than fifty people!The group of men in black stopped in front of Long Hao, and the two stepped out, put several large and small boxes on the ground, and then retreated back into the line.

These boxes are exactly the luggage left by Long Hao and the four in the hotel.

Sherinmier covered her mouth in surprise and said, "Lord Earl, are these all yours?" Although she was an amateur, she could feel the terrifying aura emanating from these men in black at a close distance.

Xie Linmier always thought that Long Hao was alone in Europe, but he never expected that he would have such an elite team and a hole card!

Gemma didn't say a word, but her agile eyes swept back and forth on the group of men in black who were as silent as sculptures: It's strange, they give me the feeling that they are a bit like the group of... masked men in black that day ?

I have to say that a woman's intuition is terrifying. Although Zheng Gongxiao and his party's clothes are not the same as the clothes on Xiao Qiushui's group that day, except that they are all black, Gemma just feels something strange!

should not be...

It's a pity that Gemma shook her head and denied the correct intuition: If they were, why would they still wear black clothes without any scruples?Besides, if you experience it carefully, they have different auras. The people here are resolute and courageous, while the masked men in black exude a ruffian aura... Yes, the two will never be the same !

"Yeah, it's my people, I made them come here by boat from the United States, day and night!"

With a sullen face, Long Hao replied: "Princess Sherin Mir, I have some friends in the United States anyway, and they won't stand by and let me be in crisis for too long!"

The ghost's friend is clearly your personal armament!

Xie Linmier was very disdainful of Long Hao's 'disguised cover'. She had sharp eyes, and from under the brimmed hat, she saw the faces of several men in black, which were typical oriental people!Subordination is self-evident.

But this is also considered normal. In this day and age, who is rich doesn't have a secret armed force?It's just a matter of more people and fewer people, more guns and fewer guns, and whether it is open or not.

There are two carriages, one is occupied by Zheng Gongxiao's SS regiment, and the other is filled with Long Hao and four people. As soon as the whistle blew, the train started slowly, shaking the huge steel wheels, and heading east .

The carriage where Long Hao is located is specially provided for the use of princes and nobles, so at the end, there are two bedrooms, which are decorated very comfortably, and people lying in it can't even feel the bumps of the train.

At this moment, the door of one of the bedrooms was closed, and it was temporarily used as a secret room for Earl Jackie Chan and Princess Gemma to have secret talks.

Gemma took out the inheritance, and she will definitely use it as a bargaining chip to reach some kind of secret agreement with Long Hao on rejuvenating the family, so.Princess Sherin Mir, who knew it well, stayed outside without any objection.

She rested her chin, looking at the flying scenery outside the car, feeling like an arrow in her stomach.

In the secret room, there was only one bed, and Long Hao and Gemma were sitting on the edge of the bed.At first glance, the handsome man and the beautiful woman look at each other, and they look a bit ambiguous.

However, if you are in it and experience it carefully, you will find that this imaginary ambiguous smell never existed.

"Your Highness, are you satisfied with the harvest?" Long Hao narrowed his eyes and laughed.

"It's ok."

Gemma looked down.Holding the silver metal box: "I can take out my father's inheritance smoothly, thanks to the Earl!"

"Nothing happened, it's a trivial matter, the princess doesn't need to worry about it."

"Lord Earl, you said before that you would help Gemma revitalize the Andriel family. I wonder if this promise is still valid?" Gemma raised her head, with pleading eyes on her pitiful face.

"Of course it works. I never say anything!"

Long Hao's eyes narrowed more and more, like a big bad wolf looking at a little white rabbit: "I think our friendship will last forever. In the future, we will work together and cooperate for many years. After getting along for a long time, you will know that I am a dragon. Hao, never deceive people."

"...Of course Gemma believes in the Earl."

Gemma opened the metal box in front of Long Hao, took out a deposit slip, and pushed it in front of Long Hao: "Gemma's net worth is limited. I can only afford this price. Please, Lord Earl, do something for me."

Very straightforward, this chick...

"Oh?"

Long Hao picked up the deposit slip, glanced at it, and folded it.Still placed on the bed: "100 million pounds, not too little! But I am a safe and thin-skinned person, and I am most afraid that I will not be able to do things after receiving money. Why don't you tell me what you want me to do first, Your Royal Highness. If I think it can be done, I can take the 100 million with peace of mind."

It's high-sounding... You are afraid that what I want you to do will far exceed the price of 100 million pounds!

Gemma is well aware of Long Hao's plan. Fortunately, she has made sufficient preparations before negotiating with Long Hao. She is confident that Long Hao will not refuse her request and the reward of 100 million pounds. .

"This matter may be difficult for others, but for the Earl, it is easy!"

Gemma straightened her delicate body, and the previous feeling of tenderness dissipated a lot. She opened her bright eyes and looked directly at Long Hao: "100 million pounds, I just want to exchange for the earl's right to mobilize the British overseas fleet... "

So this is what you want...

"This is..."

Long Hao deliberately dragged out his voice, with a look of embarrassment on his face: "Princess, how are you sure I have the right?"

"It's not hard to guess!"

Gemma stared at Long Hao, and said with authenticity: "With Her Majesty's love for the Earl, with the Earl's ambition and strategy, coupled with the Earl's shrewdness and ability, the Queen will definitely have the right to mobilize the fleet. Here it is, and definitely more than three times!"

At the "Lion King Bracelet Exchange Party" organized by Collison, Collison said on behalf of Queen Victoria that as long as he is willing to be a "drug guide", he can get the right to mobilize the British overseas fleet three times. Now the Queen His hemophilia was cured by Long Hao, and with Long Hao's temperament of plucking wild goose and refusing to suffer, he will definitely ask the Queen for this transfer of power!

If it weren't for Long Hao's stabbing, these three transfers would have belonged to Gemma.

"Hey, Princess Bingxin is smart, not bad..." Long Hao shook his head, making a look of 'you've seen through', and sighed: "I do have the right to mobilize this fleet! But this is not a good opinion, That's why I didn't read it out when the queen conferred the reward."

Seeing Long Hao's admission, Gemma laughed, stroked her temples, showing a charming look: "Then, is the Earl willing to mobilize a fleet for Gemma at a price of 100 million pounds? "

"I'm not looking for an excuse to shirk... To be honest, the word transfer is too broad. The transfer of a torpedo ship is a transfer, and the transfer of an entire battle fleet is also a transfer. Which one?" Long Hao rubbed the bridge of his nose, and said sincerely: "I am from China, and I know little about the navy. It can be said that I am a complete layman. Battle Fleet, 100 million pounds is probably a little bit short! Of course, if Princess Gemma insists, I, Long Hao, will fill the gap for you with my own pocket. Who made our friendship so deep, it can’t be measured by a little money. !"

thick-faced, shameless...

Gemma cursed secretly: She paid for it herself, 100 million pounds, enough to support an entire battle fleet to circle the earth! 'Slightly worse', only you can say it without blushing?

"It's not as exaggerated as an entire fleet. In fact, Gemma only needs the Earl to mobilize the fleet at the right time and help me block Singleton's escape route from the sea!"

"what?"

When Long Hao heard this, he was really a little surprised: "So, the princess is very sure that she can defeat Singleton?"

"It's not like that!"

Gemma smiled wryly and shook her head: "Singleton's power in Egypt is so great, unless Her Majesty the Queen takes action in person, the odds of winning against Singleton with Gemma's little manpower in Egypt are extremely slim...but in order to achieve The last wish of my father and younger brother, this time when Gemma returns, she will forget about life and death, and deal with Singleton wholeheartedly, until the last drop of blood is shed... If my father has a spirit in heaven, he can bless me to grasp one percent If there is no chance of winning and defeating Singleton, then I hope that the Earl will take action, mobilize the Royal Navy warships, catch him, and I will personally dispose of him, so as to comfort the spirits of my father and brother in heaven!"
