Elysée Palace, Office of the President.
The French president is meeting with several staff to discuss the increasingly severe epidemic.
At this moment, the presidential secretary suddenly knocked on the door and walked into the office, holding an iPad in his hand.
As soon as he entered the door, this guy immediately said excitedly:
"Mr. President, the latest news is that Sean has found the legendary Napoleon's treasure. The Napoleon's treasure is buried deep underground in the apartment building near Bastille Square."
"Just now, that guy Sean led two of his men into the underground palace where Napoleon's treasure was hidden. In that palace, they discovered Michelangelo's "Hercules", one of the three masters of Renaissance art. Heracles and the Nemean Lion"
"That priceless marble sculpture was created by Michelangelo for the Medici family. After Emperor Napoleon conquered Italy, he brought that treasure back to Paris. After Napoleon's defeat, the priceless treasure suddenly disappeared. "
"No one thought that this sculpture by Michelangelo was actually hidden in the underground palace near the Bastille. This can prove that what is hidden in the underground palace is the legendary Napoleon. "Treasure"
With that said, the guy put the iPad in his hand on the desk.
Looking at the French president and several presidential aides, they all stood up quickly.
Each of them was shocked and excited by the news.
"Wow! This lucky guy, Sean, actually found the legendary Napoleon's treasure. It's incredible!"
"It is said that there are countless priceless antiques and artworks in Napoleon's treasure. We must find a way to keep this treasure and we can't let that guy Sean sweep it all away."
Several presidential aides exclaimed in shock. Everyone's eyes were full of envy, jealousy, hatred, and endless greed.
The French president has picked up his iPad and started watching this much-anticipated exploration live broadcast.
What appeared on the live broadcast screen was Michelangelo's "Hercules and the Nemean Lion"
Xiao Ran stood in front of this marble sculpture, admiring it intently and explaining it.
He introduced the time and background of the creation of the statue, and also briefly introduced Michelangelo's art.
Listening to his introduction and looking at this priceless treasure, the French president was also full of envy and jealousy, as well as unconcealable greed.
"What a lucky bastard. He was able to discover even the legendary and illusive Napoleon's treasure. His luck is so good that it's extremely enviable!"
"This sculpture by Michelangelo, as well as everything else in Napoleon's treasure, was brought back from various European countries by Napoleon, and he paid a lot of sacrifices for it."
"Since they have reappeared in Paris, we cannot let these treasures be lost. We must try our best to keep them in Paris, let alone that guy Sean."
Hearing this, the staff nodded one after another.
"That's right, Mr. President, this is France's most precious historical and cultural treasure, and we must not let that guy Sean take it away."
"This is Paris. We have the final say. It shouldn't be difficult to keep Napoleon's treasure. Just give that guy Sean a little sweetness."
At this moment, the presidential secretary suddenly interrupted and said:
"Gentlemen, it seems not easy for us to keep everything in Napoleon's treasure."
"That bastard Sean is very cunning. Not only did he broadcast it live on the entire Internet, he also invited the US Ambassador to France to the scene."
"With the greed and shamelessness of the U.S. government, there is no way it would let go of the antique artworks in Napoleon's treasure. This is a big trouble."
Before he finished speaking, several presidential staff members exclaimed in surprise, and their faces instantly became extremely ugly.
The French president's face also changed, turning as black as the bottom of a pot.
After pondering for a moment, this guy said in a deep voice:
"Philip, as my special envoy, go to the exploration site with the Minister of Culture and find a way to get in touch with that guy Sean and talk about the deal."
"You tell that guy that as long as he is willing to keep Napoleon's treasure in France, no matter what the terms of the deal are, we can sit down and talk."
"As far as I know, he is a very greedy guy and likes to collect Chinese antiques and art. As long as he has something he likes, then things will be easy to handle."
Before he finished speaking, a presidential staff member immediately nodded and responded:
"Okay, Mr. President, I will contact the Minister of Culture and we will explore the site together."
After saying that, the guy turned around and left the office and went out to make a phone call.
The French president and others who stayed in the presidential office stared at the ongoing exploration live broadcast with red eyes.
at the same time.
Rome, Palazzo Chigi.
The Italian Prime Minister, Minister of Culture and others are gathering in the Prime Minister's Office and watching this live broadcast of exploration that has shocked the world.
Without exception, the eyes of these Italian guys were a little red, and they were all staring at the marble sculpture on the live broadcast screen, Michelangelo's "Hercules and the Nemean Lion".
At this moment, the Italian Minister of Culture suddenly gestured and said angrily:
"These damn French guys are all fucking liars. After Napoleon was defeated, we immediately made a request to the French government to recover this statue of Michelangelo."
"Then those damn French guys told us that the statue was destroyed during the war, but in reality they kept this priceless treasure. What a bunch of liars!"
"Mr. Prime Minister, we must get this priceless treasure back. This is Italy's national treasure and the most precious historical, cultural and artistic heritage belonging to our country."
The Italian Prime Minister sitting in the chair nodded vigorously, and then said excitedly:
“Not only do we want to bring back Michelangelo’s Hercules and the Lion of Nemean, but we also want to bring back all the other Italian antiques in Napoleon’s treasure. Not even a single one of them is allowed. few"
"All these antiques and artworks belong to Italy and are Italy's historical, cultural and artistic heritage. The place where they should be most important is in Italian museums, not anywhere else."
"Immediately issue a public claim request in the name of the government, asking that guy Sean to return these priceless Italian antiques. I will ask the ambassador to France to rush to explore the scene and negotiate with that guy."
"Okay, Mr. Prime Minister, I will draft a statement of claim right away."
One of the staff nodded in response and immediately got busy.
The Italian Prime Minister nodded, then took out his mobile phone and started calling the Ambassador to France.
The same scene is happening simultaneously in Spain, Austria, Belgium, Poland and other European countries.
Without exception, these countries that had been conquered and plundered by Napoleon issued public statements claiming the antique artworks and gold and silver treasures that once belonged to their countries in Napoleon's treasures.
Naturally, the U.S. government was not idle either, and immediately issued a statement expressing great concern over this important discovery that shocked the world.
The US government's statement also specifically emphasized that they will definitely protect the interests of US companies and ensure that their interests are not violated.
This public statement was issued from the US Embassy in France.
The reason for this situation is naturally because of Xiao Ran's money.
Just as it was getting more and more lively outside, Xiao Ran had already walked around the underground palace.
Then he smiled and said:
"Pierre, Henry, Cornell, and the few archaeologists and historians staying in the hall on the first floor, I think you can enter this underground palace and start the follow-up exploration with me."
"My staff will help you come down. After entering the underground secret passage, everyone should be careful and try not to touch anything to avoid accidents..."
Before he finished speaking, excited cheers rang out in the lobby on the first floor of the apartment building.
Immediately afterwards, Pierre and Henry walked towards the garden impatiently.
