After the fire was removed, black smoke was still billowing out of the tunnel. It took a full quarter of an hour before a brave soldier covered his mouth and nose with a wet handkerchief and cautiously walked inside.
The dim lanterns shone brightly on the dark rock wall, and water was dripping from the wet rock wall. The entire tunnel was extremely silent.
The soldier could only hear his own heavy breathing and the sound of his heart beating wildly out of fear of danger. After stepping over the body of the Russian soldier who had just been killed, and walking more than ten meters further, he finally found a Marine wearing a blue military uniform lying unconscious on the ground.
"An enemy was found here. He has passed out and is not dead yet... Come and drag him out with two people!"
The explorer continued to move forward, and after walking another forty or fifty meters, he suddenly found a man in a black satin coat leaning against the wall and looking at him feebly. The man also had a melon grenade in his hand.
"Oh, God!" The soldier pounced forward and clamped down on the wrist holding the grenade. He was relieved when he saw that the triggering device had not been turned on yet.
"Another survivor was found alive. He seemed to be a bank employee. Two people came in and dragged him out..."
The door of the treasury finally revealed its true appearance. It was an ebony iron hoop door that was more than one person tall and one meter wide. There was a key hanging on the lock. It seemed that this **** wanted to stay here for a long time and put it here. Consider it a temporary home.
Opening the door of the vault, "Oh, my God, my God! My God...my heart!" The explorer clearly felt his blood pressure soaring and his heart beating wildly. He had never seen so many things in his life. wealth.
The treasury is very large, covering more than 120 square meters. It is a treasure cave dug and expanded from a natural cave in the mountain. There are more than a dozen kerosene lanterns hanging around the cave, and the dim light gives the treasury a hazy beauty.
Leaning against the rock wall, there are wooden boxes of various sizes. Judging from the length, width, height and thickness, they should be wooden boxes for storing various paintings and sculptures. The soldier opened a large wooden box with an engineering shovel and found an ancient bronze cast inside. The Greek head is revealed.
"Wow! Is this a sculpture? Is it very valuable..."
The voice of Knight Molière suddenly sounded from behind the soldier, "A bronze statue from the heyday of ancient Greece, do you think it's valuable? Maybe your brain can't understand such a distant thing. I can describe it from another angle. When this statue was cast, , you don’t have Russia yet!”
"Even... in the era when this statue appeared, there was no God!"
The soldier turned around and gave a military salute. He could not imagine what a world without God would be like, but he knew that there was no need for these big men to lie to him, because a humble serf like himself was not worth being deceived by others.
Behind Moliere emerged the commander and the red-haired major, plus more than a dozen guardsmen guarding the commander. Each of these soldiers carried a kerosene lamp in their hands, which made the treasure house even brighter. .
"Oh, God bless me!" Stefanski crossed himself desperately on his chest. He looked at the simple bronze man's head as if he was holding a lifeline.
The treasure trove that Alibaba walked into was probably nothing more than that. The circle around the treasury was filled with sealed Western paintings and sculptures. The iron shelf in the corner was filled with white and shiny silver ingots, each of which weighed ten kilograms. , printed with the casting time of the Ryukyu Mint and Xiao Letian's profile portrait.
After carefully looking at the date, I saw that the most recent silver ingot was from a week ago, which shows that this treasure house is one that is frequently used.
Red corals, tortoise shells, rhino horns, ivory and gems from the Lion Country of Sri Lanka are placed chaotically and orderly in the corners. In the middle of the vault is a mountain of gold. The mahogany boxes on the steel storage shelves are locked with locks. Dead.
I smashed open a box and saw that it was gold coins! I opened it again and saw that it was Chinese horseshoe gold! He broke it open again and saw that it was a newly minted gold ingot!
Every time a box is opened, the gold inside can greatly increase the brightness in the cave. After ten boxes are opened, the entire cave is filled with the dazzling light of gold.
Molière held a few gold coins and looked at him and suddenly said, "This is not an ordinary vault. Most of the vaults here are cultural relics. This should be Xiao Letian's private vault! This is Xiao Letian's private money." !”
Stefanski also nodded. He knew very well that in international large-scale transactions, no one would be stupid enough to use cultural relic gold coins as money. These coins should be reserved by collectors.
Xiao Letian is a collector, that's why he has so many gold coins. With so many gold coins, Xiao Letian cannot be counted as funds in the Chinese treasury. The cultural relics should be his own, so it is said that these are Xiao Letian's. All the private money is private money!
That's right, in the Pacific Ocean in the south at this moment, the Zhiyuan was sailing north at high speed in the Miyako Strait. In the command module, Xiao Letian's face was twisted as if he was constipated, and his mouth was chattering.
"I have gambled all my private money. I beg you to take the bait! You must take the bait... Wuwuwu... my Roman gold coins! My Byzantine silver coins! My oil paintings! My statue! My baby..."
Xiao Letian was as distressed as a resentful woman and almost cried. It was not easy to save those treasures. He spent a lot of money to get the Russians to take the bait.
At this moment, Stefanski was already stupid. He opened a box and inside was "Pastoral Ensemble" by Giorgione. He opened a box and inside was "Victory Garden" by Mantegna. He opened another box and inside was Bo. Ticelli's "Libel"...
By the time he saw Titian's "The Orgy of Bacchus," Stefanski had put away all his greed, and he ordered not to open any more boxes.
"National treasures, they are all national treasures. None of us can possess them. These treasures should be sent to the Kremlin! I really don't understand how Xiao Letian obtained these treasures..."
"Come here, send these lifebloods to the flagship, and then wrap them tightly in waterproof tarpaulin. There must be no mistakes!"
At this moment, Molière suddenly spoke, "No! We found Xiao Letian's private vault. So, where is the vault belonging to the Chinese people? What we want is ten tons of gold. There is not enough gold here. !”
At this time, people suddenly realized, yes, we are here to solve Russia's financial crisis. Gold is the first goal. Although art is valuable, it is difficult to realize it. This can only be regarded as ancillary trophies.
"Pour cold water on the two prisoners to wake them up, then interrogate them separately, and make sure to pry open their mouths... Search the vault carefully, there must be clues... By the way, the key is the ledger, there must be no time to destroy it account book!"
