Chapter Ninety-Three: Captivity is a Fee
"Mr. Nikolai! I knew you'd think so, you wait. β
The second master smiled and waved his hand at the exit of the hall, where Zhang Sanzhang, who had been standing guard for a long time. Turning back again, he said to the inexplicable Nicholas II:
"I want to take two hours to take you to a place, but you can only go alone, is that okay?"
The second master glanced at the unkind eyes of the four Cossack Janissaries who were following Nikolai without leaving an inch.
I thought to myself, little one! This means that the master doesn't want your master to die now, if you want to take his life, just rely on your four appearances? The second master scoffed!
"Is there anything I have to see?"
Nicholas II was not a brainless idiot! Although he knew that the governor of Xinjiang did not mean to kill him, there were too many people who wanted his life, so he was still a little worried about his safety.
"Your Excellency! You can rest assured! It's just two hours of time, and we'll continue to participate in the drinking party for a while, how can the drinking party lose you as the protagonist! β
The second master deliberately joked lightly to relax Nikolai's suspicious and vigilant mood.
"Alright! Then go and see what the hell you're going to show me. β
After nearly an hour's journey, the convoy of the garrison regiment came to a more heavily guarded valley with only one access and a steep cliff on all sides.
After passing a series of strict inspections, the convoy came to a giant mountain gate of steel billet concrete with a thickness of one meter, and after another detailed inspection, the sentry called and informed in code that the control room of the gate did not know where.
With the hum of a motor, the heavy billet concrete gate slowly shrank into the mountain.
After entering the culvert, the car continued along the two-lane culvert and drove diagonally underground. When the car drove down for a distance of about 2,000 meters, it came to a huge space full of people, and I saw busy workers and technicians everywhere.
Nicholas II, watched all this dumbfounded, but never spoke.
Now he feels that ~ this governor of Xinjiang is very mysterious!
What did he do as a local warlord to build such a large underground? And such a huge project is not one!
At least that's two he knows.
In fact, the second master sitting in the car was even more depressed at this time! It was his first time here.
Isn't it just about building a mint! As for making it so complicated? Is this a mint or an underground nuclear project?
These brain-opening engineers are damn good, they're all connected to black holes!
I have to say that the second master's "regardless of cost" is completely liberated, and the thinking of these engineers who were previously limited by various costs in their imagination space!
That's good! The second master found that the liberation was a bit too thorough! More than enough is too much.
Under the leadership of the staff, several people came to a smaller culvert. I saw that this culvert is even more exaggerated! Five steps, one post, ten steps and one sentry!
The second master glared at Grand Master Zhang Sanzhang, because the soldiers guarding these guards were all from the garrison regiment.
Depend on! His Governor's Mansion doesn't have such a level of security!
I saw two staff members standing on both sides of the doorway, operating the workbench respectively, and after a while, I heard a "snort~~~" sound like a deflated voice.
Faint! The second master is even more calm! Airtight doors? The second master was speechless at this time, completely messy~~~
What kind of engineers did he hire?
When you open the heavy steel door, you can see that the huge warehouse is filled with boxes of brand-new silver dollars, and at the back of the warehouse are two huge mountains of gold and silver bricks.
"Mr. Nikolai! In total, 2,000 tonnes of gold and 3,500 tonnes of silver were deposited here. This is my mint! Do you think I'll be short of money? β
The second master saw Nicholas II, who was already stunned, and said in a steady voice. The heart said, it's time to let down your guard!
You have money! I don't care about the wealth of your royal family.
Oh~~~ The two goods are fooling the ghost! He deliberately went around such a big circle, isn't it just for other people's 1,600 tons of gold!
In this way, ready-made gold that does not waste space energy is still very attractive to these two goods.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so deliberate to dispel Nikolai's vigilance, and wanted him to rest assured that he would hide the royal wealth in Xinjiang!
Because the investigators of the Ministry of Internal Affairs came back and said that there was no trace of a large amount of gold in the Tsar's exile procession. After all, the proportion of gold is very large, and it is impossible not to leave traces during transportation.
It seems that Nicholas II was cautious, he hid his wealth again on the way.
How does this work?
Hidden in Russia, as soon as the Bolsheviks came to power, this batch of gold will have nothing to do with his second master! Therefore, Nikolai must be allowed to transport the gold into Xinjiang as soon as possible!
As long as he enters the jurisdiction of the second master, although he can't take it by force, the second goods have not yet reached the point of being so shameless, after all, he still has to use the other party.
But as long as it is transported into the jurisdiction, there is always time to calculate slowly!
Who cares about a lot of money! That's the more, the merrier. For the ambition of the second goods, he will have more places to use money in the future!
"Oh! Mr. Governor, you are simply too rich! However, if you mint money by yourself, will your central government not interfere? β
Nikolai was surprised by the financial situation of the governor of Xinjiang. After entering Xinjiang, I saw that there were large construction sites everywhere. It seems that this Mr. Governor has dug a gold mine!
Nikolai Truth!
The second master mined almost all the recorded gold mining areas in Xinjiang.
This thing is off to steal the treasure of the queen of the [Exquisite Ancient City]!
If it weren't for the location of the Exquisite Ancient City, it wouldn't be the location in the movie at all. Later, the second cargo did not give up, and after searching for the Taklamakan Desert several times, he did not find the "Magnetic Mountain", so he had to give up!
Hehe! ~~~ Very naΓ―ve second master!
"Mr. Nikolai! You also know the current situation in China! Isn't it? β
The second master shrugged his shoulders very westernly. The meaning ~ is self-evident.
Nicholas had been to China as a young man, and he was the only member of the European royal family to have visited China before World War I. He knew China well enough to stop asking the question.
Now he is really thinking about whether to transport his wealth into Xinjiang as the second master presupposed!
When a few people returned to the reception, the dance music of the gramophone resounded throughout the hall.
And what made the second master speechless was that Jenny became the focus of the ball! She is one of the companions assigned by the second master, and the other is the third aunt Li Yulan, who can speak foreign languages.
Li Yulan just quietly talked with the Tsar's princesses in the corner smiling.
And she's good! I saw her shuttling between various nobles like a flower butterfly. Dancing the classical waltz one after another.
The second master feels very "eye-catching", is his second master's head going to change color? Subconsciously touched my hair~~~
I really don't see that she, a big reporter, also has a time to "chase stars"?
Also, the ancestors of the Americans were European exiles! How could they have seen the royals! See so much at once! Why can't you stutter on a pole?
The second master is completely ~~~ depressed this time! - Don't "let the fox into the wolf pack"!
Do you regret the substitution now? Even if you call the witch of the second sister, it won't be so unbearable!
The second master secretly poked and poked ~~~~~~ regret
