C1277 Xiao Letian's Private Money

After the bonfire was put away, black smoke continued rolling out of the tunnel. Only after a quarter of an hour had passed did those brave soldiers cover their mouths and noses with wet handkerchiefs, carefully walking into the tunnel.

The dim light of the lanterns shone on the pitch-black walls. Water was dripping off the wet walls, and the entire tunnel was extremely quiet.

The soldiers could only hear their own heavy breathing and the thump of their hearts against the fear of danger. He stepped over the dead body of the Russian Army soldier that had just been killed, and after walking for another 10 metres, he finally found a dead Marine who was wearing a blue military uniform, lying unconscious on the ground.

"We found an enemy here. He's already passed out, he's not dead yet …" Come on, two people, drag them out! "

The explorer continued on, and after walking another 40 to 50 meters, he suddenly found a man wearing a black satin coat leaning against the wall, looking at him weakly. The man also had a melon grenade in his hand.

"Oh, God!" The soldier charged forward like a tiger and held the grenade tightly by his wrist. He was relieved when he saw that the device hadn't been turned on yet.

"We found another survivor. He looks like a bank staff member. Two people, come in and drag them out …"

The door of the vault was finally revealed. The gate was made of ebony and had a lock with a key on it. It seemed that these two Chinese had planned to stay here for a long time and treated this place as their temporary home.

"Oh, my God, my God! My God... My heart! " The explorer could clearly feel his blood pressure soaring and his heart pounding. He had never seen so much wealth in his life before.

The vault was over 120 square meters in size. This was a treasure cave that had been dug out from the mountain's natural cave. Around the cavern were over ten kerosene lanterns, which gave the vault a hazy sense of beauty under the dim light.

Leaning on the walls were many different sized wood box s. Judging from their length, width and thickness, they should be stored in wooden boxes made from various paintings and sculptures. The soldier used a spatula to pry open a big wooden box.

"Wah!" Was this a sculpture? "Will it be very valuable …"

Suddenly, the voice of the Knight of the Molière rang out from behind the soldiers, "Bronze statue of the ancient Greece at its peak, do you think it's worth anything? Maybe your mind can't understand things that are so far away, I can change the way I see it, but when this statue was created, it didn't even have a Russia! "

"Even …" When this statue appeared, not even God existed! "

The soldier turned around and gave a military salute. He could not imagine the world without God, but he knew that there was no need for these big shots to deceive him, because a lowly serf like him was not worth deceiving.

Behind Molière came the Commandant and the red-haired Major, along with more than ten guards who were guarding him. Each of these soldiers were holding a kerosene lamp, which made the atmosphere in the treasury brighter.

"Oh, God bless me!" EdStefanski tried his best to draw the cross in front of his chest. He looked at the ancient bronze portrait and felt like he was holding onto it.

The ring around the treasury was filled with sealed Western paintings and sculptures, and on the iron shelves in the corner, there were white and shiny silver ingots, each weighing ten kilograms, with the time spent on forging at the Ryukyu Mint written on them as well as Xiao Letian's profile picture.

He checked the date carefully. The closest silver ingot was actually one week old. It was obvious that this treasured treasury was the type that was frequently used.

Red coral, tortoise shells, rhinoceros horns, ivory, and the gems of the Lion Country of Sri Lanka were scattered and orderly placed in a corner. In the middle of the treasury was a golden mountain.

Smashing open a chest, he saw that it was a gold coin! It was Chinese horseshoe gold! It was a newly forged gold ingot!

The brightness of the cave increased significantly when each chest was opened. By the time the ten boxes were opened, the entire cave was filled with the resplendent radiance of gold.

Molière held onto the few gold coins, looked at him and suddenly said: "This is not an ordinary treasury, most of the here are cultural relics level treasury, this should be Xiao Letian's personal treasury! This is Xiao Letian's private money! "

EdStefanski also nodded in agreement. He knew clearly that in international transactions, no one would be so foolish as to use artifact gold as money. These coins should be kept by collectors.

Xiao Letian was a collector, so that was why he had so many gold coins. And such a large amount of gold coins was not counted as money from the Chinese treasury, so the cultural relics should be his own.

That's right, at this moment in the southern Pacific Ocean, the Zhiyuan Warship s in Gong Gu Strait were moving towards the north at high speed. In command cabin, Xiao Letian's face was twisted like he was constipated, and he was nagging non-stop.

"I've already put my own personal money on the line, I beg you all to do it! He had to be prepared... Wu wu wu … My Roman gold! My Byzantine silver! My painting! My statue! "Oh my darling …"

Xiao Letian was like a grieving wife, his heart ached to the point of almost crying. It was really difficult to store all those treasures, he had spent quite a bit just to get the Russian to take the bait.

EdStefanski was completely dumbfounded at the moment. He opened a box and inside was Georgiona's < Ensemble to the Fields > and another box inside was Mantña's < Enjoy Garden > and inside was Botticelli's < Defamation >.

By the time he saw Titian's < < The Drinking God's Celebration > >, EdStefanski had already put away all of his greed. He ordered for them to not open any other chests.

"National treasures, they are all national treasures. None of us can possess them, so these treasures should be sent to the Kremlin! I really don't understand how Xiao Letian managed to get his hands on these treasures … "

"Men, send these people to the flagship and wrap them up in tarpaulin. Do not let anything go wrong!"

Just then, Molière suddenly spoke out. "Something's not right! We found Xiao Letian's personal treasury. Then, where is the treasury that belongs to the Chinese race? We want ten tons of gold, there's not enough gold here! "

That's right, we are here to resolve the financial crisis of the Russia, gold is the number one target, although the artwork is valuable but it is very difficult to realize, it can only be considered as a subordinate spoil of war.

"Wake the two prisoners up with cold water, then interrogate them separately. You must pry open their mouths … Search this vault carefully, there must be traces left behind... "Right, the key is the account book, there must be some books that we didn't destroy in time!"
