Siheyuan, my new life

Chapter 466 Fishing in troubled waters

Counsellor Netajir and those organizations, individuals, and countries that tried to obtain these properties were of course aware of the regulations of the international banking industry. In fact, this was a tacit unspoken rule in the banking industry. Every year, banks made huge profits just from these overdue safe deposit boxes that were not claimed.

Of course, the banking industry in countries around the world has always operated in this way, and even Counsellor Netajir knows that the same is true for banks in Israel.

It's just that money is a great motivator. As we all know, the amount of property that some German Nazi officials deposited in Swiss banks is an astronomical figure. During World War II, the German Nazis plundered a large amount of property from countries around Europe and the world, and a considerable part of it entered the safe deposit boxes of Swiss banks through various channels. These properties were deposited not only by the Nazi government at the time, but more by some Nazi high-ranking officials and generals. With the end of World War II, the ownership of these properties has been controversial.

Due to the brutal war, many materials and related evidence about the storage of Nazi Germany's valuables have been destroyed in the war. Although the German government once asked Swiss banks for these valuables after the war, unfortunately, the Swiss banks denied it and did not admit that Nazi Germany had ever stored valuables. The Swiss government even produced some debt lists of materials purchased by Nazi Germany through some Swiss companies and demanded that the German government pay the original debts.

The German government had no evidence of where the property was stored, so it could only shelve the matter for the time being.

In fact, some people have raised doubts, believing that all the personnel of Nazi Germany who had participated in transporting valuables to Swiss banks in the late World War II were killed. It is very likely that this was caused by the collaboration between some high-level Nazi German officials and the Swiss side at the time. It is not even ruled out that the archives and materials of the Nazi German Ministry of Finance that were said to be destroyed in the war were done by the Swiss side in order to embezzle these valuables.

But this is just a suspicion, there is no evidence at all.

As for Israel's demands for the personal property of Jews who died in the Holocaust from Swiss banks, the Swiss government and banks simply ignored it.

If the German government's request to Swiss banks for the assets deposited by the Nazi German government had certain reasons, then the Israeli government's request was a joke in the eyes of the banking industry.

Although Israel is a country dominated by Jews, there is no international law so far that stipulates that a country has the right to inherit the estate of a person who does not have its own nationality. What is particularly ridiculous is that those Jews who died under the butcher knife of Nazi Germany died before the country of Israel was established.

Counselor Netajir also knew that it would be a waste of time for him to go to the Swiss Bank again, but since this was an order from the country, he had no choice but to carry it out.

When the car driven by Counselor Netajir entered the embassy parking lot, both the car and the people suddenly disappeared.

After nightfall, in the security room of the Swiss National Bank, four security guards were drinking coffee and chatting leisurely. Since the establishment of the Swiss National Bank, there have been very few bank robberies. The main reason is that the Swiss government attaches great importance to the security of each bank. Not only has a police station been set up near each bank and equipped with various light and heavy weapons, but each bank also has its own strong security team.

However, what the four security guards on duty in the security room tonight never expected was that in the underground vault that they thought was impregnable, there was a figure shuttling between the shelves full of gold, and wherever he went, the neatly arranged gold immediately disappeared.

After cleaning up all the gold, the figure appeared in the next warehouse. Although the warehouse was pitch black without a trace of light, it did not affect the figure's movements at all.

This warehouse is filled with neatly arranged huge safes, which are the safes rented by wealthy people from all over the world to store their precious belongings.

Zhou Xuan looked at the thousands of huge safes stacked in the warehouse in front of him and shook his head with a wry smile, secretly complaining about his second brother Zhou Di's bad taste.

Originally, everyone could put all the things into the storage bag just like in the banks in Bald Eagle, but Zhou Di asked everyone to spend more effort this time.

Thinking that there were more than a dozen warehouses for storing safes in the underground vault, Zhou Xuan hurriedly got busy. He waved his right hand casually, and the originally closed safe door was like being cut by a sharp blade, and then it was silently opened by an invisible force, and then the items piled in the safe were immediately sent into the storage bag in Zhou Xuan's left hand.

In the blink of an eye, a row of safes had been cleaned out, and Zhou Xuan began to clean the next row.

In this way, Zhou Xuan worked hard to clean all the warehouses one by one, glanced at the empty underground vault, and walked towards the wide-open vault door.

He walked along the passage unimpeded to the large iron gate leading to the first floor of the bank office building, and swung his right hand to chop the door open. Several security guards who heard the sound rushed over with weapons in hand, but unfortunately, before they could see clearly what was happening, they lost consciousness.

Zhou Xuan smiled bitterly and shook his head. It was really a waste of effort. However, in order to carry out his second brother's arrangement, he took out heavy trucks from the storage bag according to the previous plan. These trucks had been modified, and then he controlled all the trucks by himself and drove towards the mountains outside the city.

At the same time, similar scenes were happening at all the major banks in Switzerland, with heavy trucks driving out of the city one after another.

It’s not that there haven’t been times when I’ve encountered police officers who stopped me on the road for inspection, but unfortunately these unlucky guys were sent to see God.

The next morning, when several colleagues who worked at the Swiss National Bank walked into the door together, someone immediately screamed loudly. They saw blood all over the floor of the lobby on the first floor. There were several bodies lying in a pool of blood. From the clothes on the bodies, they could be recognized as the bank's security guards on night shift.

After receiving the alarm call from the bank, almost all the nearby police stations were mobilized and arrived at the scene in just four or five minutes.

After a preliminary examination, it was found that the four security guards at the scene had their neck arteries cut by a sharp knife and had no signs of life.

Soon after, a staff member discovered something unusual. The large iron door leading to the underground vault had been split open with a sharp knife. The police on the scene immediately realized that something big had happened.

Sure enough, after inspection, the police were surprised to find that the door of the bank's underground vault had also been broken open, and it was now empty, with only some shelves left.
