Chapter 257: The Most Loyal Mercenary
If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight - this is not Brother Yadou is joking with Isabel, but he is using this sentence to spur himself. Because opening the Nazi treasure is definitely not a simple matter, soon, all forces will come in droves, all want a piece of the pie, and the pressure that the fat man will face will be unprecedentedly huge.
After Isabel took off the crown, Brother Badou called Monkey Xiaoshuai over and asked where he had found the crown - there were so many chests and sacks in the treasure cave that he hadn't even seen a tenth of it now.
Soon, Monkey led them to several isolated boxes, one of which had been opened, and the light inside was so devastated that the two girls screamed and pounced. The box is full of all kinds of exquisite and luxurious jewelry, which is too tempting for women.
However, Brother Badou was quite calm, he took out a crown from the box and buckled it to his head, and then took out a scepter broken in two from the box and held it in his hand: "Subjects, worship Pharaoh, the son of the sun, and I will give you sun, water, and airβ"
"But all we want is jewelry now!" Miss Zuer found a turquoise crown and put it on her head, and the whole person was even brighter and more moving.
Isabel was very funny when she saw the fat man with a big belly, so she pouted: "This should be the crown and staff of the Indian prince, it does not belong to the Egyptian pharaoh, get rid of it, you still say that you are an appraiser, do you understand it?" β
The fat man took off his crown and scratched the back of his head depressedly: "I have a specialty in the art industry, but I am really not professional enough in jewelry appraisal." It seems that we will have to bring in some experts in this area-"
But I didn't wait for Brother Badou to invite someone. Someone came uninvited. The first group to appear in the treasure cave was not the team led by the golden-eyed eagle. It's William and Li Xiaonan, who can be regarded as the first to get the moon near the water. He was accompanied by William's father, the old earl, and more than a dozen experts engaged in the identification of cultural relics.
This move was quite a bit of a charcoal in the snow, and the fat man was very moved, and hurriedly asked Monkey Xiaoshuai to send souvenirs. Looking at a gold coin in his hand, Li Xiaonan blew up the temple at that time. Directly pressed the gold coin on the fat man's cheeks: "You are still not my brother-in-law, Xiao Li!" β
After saying that, he began to rummage through the cabinets himself, and screamed in his mouth: "My-mine-all are mine-"
"This girl is crazy-" Brother Badou spread his hands, and the muscles on his face also moved, and the gold coin bento sticking to it fell to the ground, and the fat man's cheeks left a round mark.
William quickly explained to the fat man that it turned out that Li Xiaonan had been trained too hard during this time in order to participate in the Queen Charlotte Ball. That's why I ran this vent.
Thinking about this crazy girl's temperament but pretending to be a lady, Brother Badou feels uncomfortable for her. So let her pull it, how much can one person take?
And the old earl, after turning around, found the fat man, although the well-informed old nobleman tried his best to keep himself calm, but in such an environment, how could he be calm?
"Gao, what are you going to do with these paintings and sculptures?" The old earl had little interest in gold and silver jewelry, but he could not resist the temptation of art.
The fat man smacked his lips: "Let's get these things out safely first, they may not belong to me now-"
The old nobleman had to take a second look at the little fat man in front of him, and his evaluation of him in his heart instantly raised a notch: if it is luck to find a treasure, then in the face of massive wealth, he can still keep a clear head, which is not something that ordinary people can do.
So he nodded approvingly: "I see a lot of media reporters on it, but it's not enough." Although the media can create public opinion, there are also people who can direct the direction of public opinion. Now, what you need most is an army that can guard and escort these treasures, a strong army! β
In fact, the fat man didn't think so, although the federal government sent some troops and police, but who knows what their intentions were?
If you are in the country, you may be able to use your connections to apply for support from the military. But this is Europe, and the water from far away can't quench your thirst, and besides, it's impossible for people to let you set foot here.
After thinking for a while, the fat man was suddenly inspired: "You mean mercenaries!" β
The old earl smiled and nodded: "By far the most famous mercenary in history is none other than this country, a warrior from the Alps, this title is not something that can be obtained casually. You know, even when the Pope ~ Emperor selects the guards to protect the church, he only hires Swiss! β
Brother Badou didn't know much about these, but he still believed in the old earl's character, after all, the two sides were now in-laws and had common interests. So he said with a smile: "Since the mercenaries of this country are trustworthy, then you have to work hard to help me build a bridge." Rest assured, money is definitely not an issue! β
Although the Swiss mercenaries have always been called the "most loyal mercenaries", their most loyal is definitely loyal to the "money", and this is what the fat man does not lack now.
Soon, he made an agreement with the old earl that the old fat sheep would come forward and hire 200 soldiers, not even at the expense of the fat man, as long as he could be allowed to collect a few of his favorite works of art.
When the fat man accompanied the old fat sheep to visit the treasure cave, the old nobleman gave him a few more suggestions, which benefited the fat man a lot. And I also know that there has been a commotion outside in the past two days. More than a dozen countries have raised their voices for the return of their wealth looted by the Nazis during World War II. Some countries have even convened parliaments to discuss whether to re-amend the bill and pursue it in the name of the state.
There is no doubt that these are all for the fat man, it is easy to find treasures, and if you really want to keep these treasures, it seems that the difficulty is really not small.
After some discussion with the old earl, Brother Badou made a decision: it would be better to transport the artworks and valuable jewels from the treasure cave and store them in the safe of the Swiss bank than in this insurance.
However, the official could not count on it, although they were full of promises, and they were out of helicopters and people, but they did not act, and the intention was obvious: the longer they left the treasure here, the better it would be for them, because there might be something wrong with it.
There is no way, but to cooperate with the bank. Fortunately, in a country with a highly developed banking sector, the government is not yet able to fully dominate the banks. After the arrival of 200 mercenaries, the delivery of treasure began.
The reporters who are waiting on it finally have a place to use again, these days, their life is very difficult, not to mention the difficult conditions, there is no follow-up report, and they can only make some things that are both true and false by hearsay. For example, according to expert estimates, the total value of the treasure in the treasure cave has been raised from the initial 1 billion euros to 100 billion euros by these journalists.
It is estimated that if the fat man heard this number, he would definitely say, "Don't need 100 billion, give me 10 billion euros, and the treasure cave will be yours."
Don't look at the boxes of gold are heavy and dazzling, but how much is a ton of gold worth, only tens of millions of euros, and it is good to have more than ten tons of gold in the cave.
As for those banknotes, not to mention, if you exchange them in equal amounts, the economic level of a few decades ago is a hundred times worse than now, so if you look at a lot of them, the actual value is not very high. Besides, some countries have already issued a statement: resolutely do not recognize these banknotes, and advocate that they must be destroyed!
At the end of the day, the most valuable thing in the treasure cave is the artwork. That's why the fat man had to ship them out as soon as possible. And those reporters who were eager to see through it, when they saw mercenaries beginning to transport treasure under the cracks, immediately surrounded them like flies seeing blood, and clicked and slapped violently. Even the mercenaries who maintain order can't stop the crazy crowd.
The fat man had already been on top with loyal soldiers to maintain order, and when he saw this, he hurriedly shouted: "Don't crowd it, everyone, be careful of falling into the cracks below - after all the things are transported, we will show them to everyone, and everyone is free to take pictures-"
This idea was also put forward by the old earl, and it was better to publicize it to the whole world, so as not to create opportunities for others to operate in the dark.
After hearing the shout of the fat man who translated it, the crazy reporter finally quieted down a lot and began to slowly move to safety, after all, if it is too close to the crack, it is still very dangerous, and it is strange that the ice crack is dozens of meters deep, and it is strange not to fall to death if you slide down.
But at this time, only to hear a woman's scream suddenly sounded, people followed the voice, only to see a middle-aged female reporter fell to the ground, was sliding towards the ice crack, their hands danced, but the fat body was too clumsy, and it couldn't stop at all.
"Helpβ" Not far away, one of her companions cried out hoarsely, but he didn't see a single step under his feet. In fact, it was his close colleague who helped the female reporter just now when she was not paying attention, pushing her into the abyss of sin below.
At the behest of a certain force, he just wanted to create such a tragedy and cause chaos, and then that force could take advantage of the situation and eventually take over the place.
Although Brother Badou has made some responses, he is still a little tender, and he didn't expect the darkest corner of human nature to be so dark.
At the moment when the female reporter slid into the ice crevice, the fat man realized this in an instant, he yelled, and rushed towards the female reporter without hesitation, he must organize the tragedy to happen.
But in front of him, a dark shadow had already rushed over, it was an ordinary member of the mercenaries, and his job was to maintain order, so he was closest to the edge of the rift.
In the panic, the female reporter finally grabbed the life-saving straw, she hugged the soldier's thigh with both hands, and the soldier was prostrate on the ground, and his body was also dragged by the obese female reporter, and fell into the ice crack together.
Ahh......h
