Chapter 594: Windfall

In terms of the overall environment, in fact, the things shown in this treasure map are the treasures left behind by the "Mountain Lily" organization.

To put it simply, it was the thing that Takeshita Sixty-Four scavenged from Myanmar and buried it in a hidden place, and then Takeshita Sixty-four was killed by Xiaoshi's grandfather, and the hint about the treasure place also fell into the hands of Xiaoshi's grandfather, and Xiaoshi's grandfather gave the Japanese knife to his boss and left an ivory woven mat for himself, and these two things finally fell into Zhang Tianyuan's hands at the same time today, which contributed to the recombination of this treasure map, and an unknown secret was revealed.

There were many expeditionary forces left in Burma back then, and Xiao Shi's grandfather was one of them, and if he had returned to Treasure Island, I am afraid that this treasure map would never have seen the light of day again.

"Tian Yuan, I've already translated the things and sent them to you, think about it yourself, but listen to me, it's better not to take this risk, it's not worth it, we are not short of money now." ”

"Well, don't worry, Mengmeng, I know, I won't go, the treasure there must have been discovered by the Myanmar government a long time ago, what's the point of going now." You're busy with you, don't delay your work because of me, then go down first?"

Zhang Tianyuan closed the communication with Liu Mengxun, although he said that he would not go, but with his character, could he not go? He said that, it was nothing more than to make Liu Mengxun feel at ease, of course he knew that Liu Mengxun cared about him, so he said that, if you change someone else, who cares about your life or death, you can go if you want, and absolutely no one will stop you.

"Brother. There seems to be a specific amount of treasure on it, a full twenty tons of gold. There is also a large golden Buddha with a height of five meters, which was taken from a temple in Myanmar. In addition, most of them are jade jewelry and antique curios, which is too ruthless, if we get these things, won't we send them?"

Even if it was a snake lin, when he saw what was recorded in the text, he was stunned, twenty tons of gold, what kind of concept is this, twenty tons is twenty million grams of gold. And the current price of gold is more than 230 RMB per gram, so calculated, just these 20 tons of gold, it is almost 5 billion RMB, not to mention the jade jewelry, and the golden Buddha, it is estimated that the golden Buddha must have at least more than a billion RMB, what a terrifying fortune this must be, even if Zhang Tianyuan is now a rich man. But even if he is rich and sees so much money, no, it should be said that even if you have money, you may not be able to buy these things back. He was also shocked.

If people can really stare at the eyeballs, then it is estimated that Zhang Tianyuan's eyeballs have fallen to the ground.

"It's time for me to smoke a cigarette and calm down!"

"Don't you smoke?" asked the snake, confused.

"Can't I smoke now? So much money. My little heart is about to come out!"

Snake Lin took out two cigarettes and handed one to Zhang Tianyuan. I lit it for a while, and then lit one myself and pumped it.

"Ahem, ahem!"

This is not a smoke. When he smoked it for the first time, he really looked foreign, and as soon as Zhang Tianyuan took a sip, he coughed violently, and his tears came out.

"Don't swallow the cigarette, spit it out, yes, yes, that's it. The snake lin laughed unrecognizably, which also made the somewhat oppressive and stern atmosphere in the room a lot more relaxed.

"Brother, you are going to deal with these treasures, if we really get it, it will be really difficult to get it, so much gold, not to mention whether it can be transported back to China, even if it is shipped back, it is also a problem. Especially the big golden Buddha, are you willing to melt it and take it away?" Snake Lin looked at Zhang Tianyuan and asked, he spit out a large smoke ring, and it could be seen that he was in turmoil at this time.

There are so many treasures, everyone wants to keep them for themselves, let them just give them to others, that is not possible, the Burmese government has nothing to do with them, and so much wealth, it is estimated that even if they hand it over to the Myanmar government, it will eventually become money in the pockets of some people.

"Of course I'm reluctant, the Golden Buddha itself has a very high artistic value, if it melts, it will definitely be a tyrannical thing. ”

"How about handing it over to our country?" After all, Serpentine was a soldier, and his loyalty to the motherland was much higher than that of Zhang Tianyuan.

"What are you kidding, these things were not stolen from our country. Besides, if our country says that everything underground belongs to the state, I think that is nonsense, and it stands to reason that whoever finds out belongs to whom, and what is the state? Isn't it just to serve the people? I don't have such noble manners. Zhang Tianyuan immediately denied it, what kind of joke, he took the risk to find the treasure, and finally handed it over to the state, and the state gave a symbolic reward?

Besides, it is also a hassle to ship these things back to China, and it is not easy to pass the customs alone.

At the beginning, most of the things that the Japanese devils snatched in China have been shipped back to their Japan, but Southeast Asia is because of some special circumstances, when they left in a hurry, things can only be buried on the spot, it is said that there are also a large number of treasures to buy in South Korea, but they have not been found yet, but Southeast Asia, especially the Philippines, has found a large number of so-called Japanese royal treasure spots.

In other words, it is almost certain that these treasures buried in Myanmar have nothing to do with Huaxia, they are treasures collected in Myanmar, and Zhang Tianyuan is even less likely to choose to hand them over to the state.

"Hehe, that's what I said, that brother Zhang, what should I do, I don't have an idea now, I'm so big, I've never seen this kind of treasure, the last time we went to the Valley of the Gods, I didn't find such a treasure, my head is a mess, or you have to find a way to deal with it." ”

Although Serpentine said that his loyalty to the country was true, the country did not bring him a stable life, which Zhang Tianyuan brought him, so his loyalty to Zhang Tianyuan, in a sense, was higher than that of the country, although he knew that this was wrong. But people are sometimes so realistic.

If there's anyone who isn't interested in treasure, it's people like Serpent. Even if there was a large amount of gold in front of him, he might not be interested. As the saying goes, people die for money, and birds die for food, but after being a soldier for a few years, Snake Lin understands that nothing is as good as a stable life, and he wants so much treasure, but it is a burden, he is living a very happy life now, as long as he can take care of his family, he will marry Xu Yue in the future. He can also live happily, then he will be content.

In history, there are really few so-called rich and noble people who really live happily and comfortably, and many of them have been killed by others, and Snake Lin doesn't want to be that kind of person.

The most important thing is that Snake Lin understands a truth, his qiē is brought by Zhang Tianyuan. If he robbed Zhang Tianyuan for the treasure at this time, he would have to ruin his current happy life, and now that the sky has fallen, Zhang Tianyuan will hold it for him. But if he was allowed to get these treasures and then do things himself, then he wouldn't know what to do, not to mention that he also understood Zhang Tianyuan's character. is definitely not a generous person, Zhang Tianyuan is definitely very good to people. But once you hate someone, it's strange not to kill that person.

He's a man who keeps to himself. Once his life is on the right track, he doesn't want to change it, not to mention that his life is so smooth and comfortable now, he has to fight for some treasure, is that interesting? This is why he proposed to hand over the treasure to the government, he thinks it is a hot potato.

"Let me deal with it, I have a headache too, so many things, alas. ”

"Brother, this treasure map is likely to be true, and the story of Takeshita Sixty-four I heard it before when I was in the army, and it is estimated that it will not be fake, but we don't know if this treasure is still there, after all, that piece is a jade mining area, and many places have been dug up, even if someone digs up the treasure, it is estimated that the secret will be hidden, just like the Americans back then." Snake Lin scratched his head, he had heard of a thing on Weibo before, that is, a couple, fantasizing about what to do after buying a lottery ticket, and finally divorced because of the unfair distribution of the money from this fantasy, which is a little ridiculous.

"Well, you have a point. ”

In fact, after finding more "royal treasure spots", U.S. intelligence agencies quietly dug up billions of dollars worth of gold nuggets, diamonds, and platinum. Both General Douglas MacArthur and President Harry Truman have made the excavation of these treasure spots a top US national secret from the very beginning.

The largest post-war gold acquisition by the United States was in Santa Romana in the Philippines. When the Japanese were losing ground in the Philippines, Filipino guerrillas found themselves transporting large numbers of heavy boxes to a cave and then sealing off the exit with explosives. A major of the US Strategic Intelligence Agency, who was with the partisans at that time, remembered the location of the treasure. The agent reopened the cave after the battle and found the chest full of gold.

Between 1945 and 1948, this batch of gold worth about tens of billions of dollars was shipped to the United States, and instead of returning it to victims in Southeast Asian countries, it was deposited in 176 banks in 42 countries, among which the Geneva branch of the Union Bank of Switzerland opened a gold account with tens of billions of dollars in the name of "Lansdale"!

After the dissolution of the Strategic Intelligence Agency, this vast wealth was taken over by the CIA and became its off-the-books funds, the use and disposal of which were not subject to any oversight. What is shocking is that some of the gold has become the private property of the Americans, the largest of which is opened in the name of MacArthur's son Arthur MacArthur at the Credit Suisse Bank in Zurich, amounting to nearly 100 tons of gold, and former US President Hoover also has 7.5 tons of gold in his personal account at the Credit Suisse Bank! The discovery of a large amount of treasure has greatly increased the capital of the United States in the Cold War.

According to US officials, the Truman administration used the treasures found by the United States in Asia, together with the treasures looted by the Germans and France, which the United States had collected in Europe, as a secret political action fund to finance the confrontation with the Soviet Union in the Cold War.

Such a large government has to deal with the treasure secretly, and it will be made public after many years, if it is discovered by a private person, then it will be handled carefully, so even if the treasure on the treasure map has been taken away by others, Zhang Tianyuan and Snake Lin have no way of knowing, so Snake Lin's words are really very reasonable.

Zhang Tianyuan put the extinguished cigarette butt into the ashtray, put his hands behind his head, leaned on the sofa and took a deep breath: "This matter is not in a hurry. (To be continued......)
