Volume VIII 1275 Vault Gate

Next chapter

A gold coin succeeded in arousing the greed of the invaders, and when the Carthage coin was placed in front of Stefansky, Rao's tongue was nervous even if he had seen the world. pbtxt

After all, it is a gold coin of BC, and Carthage was suppressed by the Roman Empire so the country was not long, and due to the influence of national strength in the later period, the minting of Carthage coins almost stopped, and most people used Roman coins.

It is rare to find a gold coin with the head of Hannibal here, which would have sold for 20,000 pounds in Europe.

"Is this really just a lost gold coin scattered on the ground? Is there a more valuable treasure in the vault? Could it be that the information on the Golden Island shows not only gold, but also a large number of artifacts?"

The soldier who delivered the letter could not answer the general's question, he just gasped and introduced the scene at that time: "General, at the entrance of the vault, a large piece of cement has been cast Chinese, and it is difficult for the six soldiers to knock it in turn...... In the secret passage, there are not only this gold coin, but also some other gold and silver coins and ledgers, and before I came, Monsieur Molière was taking the interpreter to carefully examine the accounts in the secret passage......"

"The Major asked me to convey to you...... Almost all the ancient coins found in the secret passage are European coins of all dynasties, so after analyzing it in this way, it is very likely that this treasure house is a treasure trove specially used by Xiao Letian to treasure European cultural relics, and there may be many famous paintings!"

As soon as he heard this, Stefansky couldn't sit still, "Arrange the dinghy, I'm going to go ashore, I'm going to see the process of opening the treasure house for myself...... Let the army invest another 3,000 troops to double the warning range of the fishing village in Setouchi......"

By the time Stefansky landed on land, the small town of Setouchi had become a large barracks for the Russians, full of soldiers searching house to house, doors and windows were smashed, pigs, cattle and sheep and other livestock were killed and transported to warships, which were all added to the improved food afterwards.

The key intersections were heavily guarded, and the sundries and bricks were built into bunkers, and the muzzles of the guns were vigilantly rushed outside, for fear that there would be ambushers in the mountains and forests.

The shops on the street were looted, the cash and various goods that had not had time to be transported became the trophies of the Russian army, and heavy boxes were carried onto small boats and transported to the warships, and the docks were as busy as ants moving.

As soon as Stefansky appeared, all the officers and men along the road stopped their work, and the people saluted the general, and then more soldiers poured into the town from the sea to join the ranks of the commander of protection.

Stefansky, who was not smiling, stepped into the gate of Lotte Bank, and as soon as he entered the second courtyard, he heard a cheer from behind: "The cement down there is wet! There is no need for a hammer here, dig ...... directly with a shovel."

When the commander entered the room, he found that a large hole had been dug in the ground, revealing the entrance to the vault. The so-called vault is really a semi-underground entrance, the entrance was originally on the ground there is an iron door, after the iron door is lifted, there is a downward staircase, the long artificial tunnel directly into the mountain, in the deepest part of the tunnel is the location of the vault.

In order to increase the amount of cement used, the fleeing bank clerks did not close the iron gate but opened it and poured cement directly into the tunnel, until it finally piled up on the ground to form a small cement pile.

Due to the lack of time, this large pile of cement has only solidified more than three meters on the surface, and the inside is still soft due to the slow water vapor metabolism, and the shovel can be easily dug down.

Molière sighed as he held the ledger in the secret passage, while the red-haired major instructed his soldiers to speed up the excavation to clear the tunnel.

As soon as Molière saw Stefansky coming to him, he immediately excitedly sent the account to the commander, "Your Excellency, General, we have really found a treasure, according to the account, there is not only gold underneath, but also more than 1,200 ancient gold coins......"

Among them were the gold coins of Israel and Rome from BC, as well as the Phoenician and Carthage coins...... There are also precious coins from various dynasties in the Middle Ages, as well as gold sun coins brought by the Spaniards from the South American sun temple......"

"Look at it here, and the accounts also record the names of some Renaissance paintings, such as Botticelli's Spring, Venus...... There are also van Eycor's character sketches...... Bruegel's sketches...... Oh my God, is there a sketch of Leonardo da Vinci on it?"

There were only those who were not illiterate, as long as they had a high aristocratic education, their breath was shorting at the moment, these names were all important painters of the Renaissance, and their works were very sought-after in the collection market, no one expected Xiao Lotian to collect so much.

Stefansky lowered his voice and pretended to be calm and said, "Don't be too happy, you are only looking at accounts and not real things, be careful that the expectations are too big and the disappointment is too great!"

At this moment, the soldiers who were playing with the cement shovel in the tunnel suddenly exclaimed, "It's opened...... We've opened the cement layer, and there's the tunnel below...... Ahh......h

I only heard a few crisp gunshots from the crackling tunnel, followed by screams, it turned out that there were guards in the vault.

"Assault team, rush in and kill the guards......" The major gave the order, and a group of soldiers with bayonets rushed in, but the narrowness of the tunnel was underestimated, and the tunnel dug out of the mountain could only allow two people to pass on their sides, and the narrow terrain could not reflect the superiority of the force at all.

I only heard the shouting and gunfire inside, and the commando team withdrew in less than ten minutes, "No, it's too narrow, the dead bodies of the soldiers in front can block the tunnel, we can't get in......"

Molière looked down, and the deep tunnel was pitch black, and he didn't know what was going on inside: "It's very simple! Smoke them to death!"

The Russians began to collect firewood and kerosene, and dismantled a few door panels to use as fans, and even more immoral bastards found a lot of pepper and peppers from the kitchen.

As soon as the flame was lit, a few handfuls of damp fresh leaves were sprinkled on it, which, combined with the smoke from the burning peppers and chili peppers, made everyone present cough.

WhewW...... The tall soldier flapped the door panel, and smoke billowed into the tunnel, and soon there was a loud cough and curse.

Molière stood at the door, smiling cruelly, "Add peppers, peppers, sprinkle a few handfuls of wet leaves, choke them...... Gold isn't afraid of smoke anyway......!

Stefansky watched it for more than ten minutes and said worriedly, "That's pretty much it...... If there were really famous paintings in it, it wouldn't be worth it if it was smoked! Listen, there's no movement in it......"
