820 Coax the ghosts to go
Just like there are countless unknown secrets hidden under the calm surface of Lake Guadavia, many things that people see are actually the result of artificially whitewashed, many things are unknown to the public, unclear principles, unexplained, but it does not mean that they do not exist, the end of science is still theology, the nineteenth century electric light and telephone to the eighteenth century is the standard magic, what seems incredible today, will it be just a prank of someone under the extreme boredom in the future?
No one can tell.
If understood in this way, the solution to Ford Benjamin's problem is simple: do the Colombian government and Congress want justice and truth?
Unfortunately, in fact, no, the Colombian government only wants a result, the authenticity of the result is not important, even after a few years, Ford Benjamin miraculously came back from the dead, the Colombian government also has a saying, after all, it is a democratically elected government, for example, the previous government was deceived, or Ford Benjamin has already died, or this is just a derivative of conspiracy theories, etc., etc., as for what the truth is, it really doesn't matter.
Ryan Brooke is not stupid, on the contrary, Ryan Brooke is also very smart. When P. Morgan, Rockefeller, Li Mu and other bigwigs all came forward to stand for Ford Benjamin, Ryan Brooke was actually very limited, and even Ryan Brooke didn't have to worry about whether Abel Raleigh's lies would be exposed. Is the energy of P. Morgan, Rockefeller, Li Mu, and others similar to tonight's persuasion only happening at Ryan Brook's house?
Don't be naïve, Ryan Brooke can even conclude that if in tomorrow's regular session of Parliament, Ryan Brooke proposes the release of Ford Benjamin, then at least half of the members of Congress will vote in favor, what is the fact?
That's it!
"Well, let's assume -- just suppose that if Mr. Ford Benjamin dies of illness this evening -- it's a pity, and it's terrible, but we can't deny the fact that if Mr. Ford Benjamin dies this evening, then both the government and parliament will have an account to the public." Abel Raleigh is pressing in, and if possible, Abel Raleigh wants to send Ford Benjamin away tonight. P. Morgan can not care about Ford Benjamin's life or death, but Li Mu cares, this is enough, in the United States, Morgan Bank is Morgan Bank, and Junma Group is Junma Group, but out of the United States, Morgan Bank and Junma Group are both American companies, basically no difference.
Although many times, J· P. Morgan is reluctant to be with Li Mu and Rockefeller, but it is an undeniable fact that they all have the same international background, and Colombians will not investigate the difference between the Morgan consortium and Standard Oil and the Horse Group, in the eyes of Colombians, the Morgan Consortium and Standard Oil and the Horse Group are the same, they all belong to a common interest group and have the same common interests.
"Of course, what the government and Congress want is Ford Benjamin's death, as long as Ford Benjamin dies, as for how Ford Benjamin died, this is not within the scope of the government and Congress." Ryan Brooke made the right decision in the shortest possible time, which may bring him to shame in the future, but at this stage, it is the best option.
"Great! Mr. Brooke, I formally convey to you an invitation from Mr. James Garfield, if you may, to New York, and Mr. James Garfield would appreciate further contact with you. "Abel Raleigh still has a killer move, and what could be more important to a politician than a political reputation? Don't forget that James Garfield is the favorite to be the next president of the United States, so an invitation from James Garfield is important.
At least, for Ryan Brooke, James Garfield's invitation was important.
At the same time, in the wealthy area of Bogotá, this scene was constantly being staged, playing J· Of course, P. Morgan's banner is unimpeded, and the banner of Rockefeller and Li Mu is also invincible, don't look at Li Mu and the Horse Group are not popular with the Colombian government on the surface, but in many cases, Li Mu's name is more than J· P. Morgan and Rockefeller are even more famous, after all, they are federal countries, and economic strength is important, but military strength is more important.
Just when all parties were mediating for Ford Benjamin, the exploration of Lake Guatavia did not stop, the first time Ford Benjamin was assassinated, Paul Stewart was about to send reinforcements to Nuki, but was stopped by Thomas Toynbee, compared with Ford Benjamin, the treasure in Lake Guatavia is more important, maybe Li Mu and Paul Stewart don't think so, but in Thomas Toynby's view, all the details should serve the backbone, so the assassination of Ford Benjamin is indeed unfortunate, But on the other hand, it also facilitates the treasure hunt in Lake Guadavia.
At least after the assassination of Ford Benjamin, Bogotá will not be focusing on Lake Guadavia.
Then work hard!
Without the supervision of Bogotá officials, without the harassment of the adventurous team, the work of the drilling team went smoothly, the security of the Junma laboratory was still very strong, 40 pumping machines, the failure rate has been kept below 10%, at least 36 pumping machines are working continuously, so the water of Lake Guadavia is emptied at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the gold and jewels at the bottom of the lake are finally gradually exposed.
There is still a problem, after all, it is hundreds of thousands of years of accumulation, some gold and jewelry are exposed at the bottom of the lake, and some are simply covered by the silt at the bottom of the lake, the British in 1914 were not fully prepared to clean up the silt at the bottom of the lake, of course, the drilling team did not have this problem, because there was Li Mu's reminder, long before they entered Colombia, this problem had been considered, so Thomas Toynby's task now was not to save Ford Benjamin, Rather, it is a comprehensive inventory of the bottom of the lake.
Even if it's silt, sift it all bit by bit to make sure nothing of value is left out.
"Paul, tell your people that from now on, we have to raise every spirit, stare at those indigenous workers, stare at every inch of soil, now is the harvest season, such opportunities are not available at any time." Thomas Toynbee was in high spirits for the two days, not only for the gold and jewels, but also for the sense of accomplishment in uncovering the mystery of history.
As the work progressed, more and more gold utensils and jewels were discovered, at first only a few hundred, then to 1,000, 2,000, and now there are more than 6,000 gold utensils and more than 1,000 jewels, which made Thomas Toynbee crazy, and in order to protect these gold utensils and jewelry, Thomas Toynbee even made Paul Stewart live in a tent where the gold and jewelry were stored.
Regarding the preservation of gold and jewelry, Li Mu and Rockefeller had an agreement that Rockefeller's people were responsible for finding, Li Mu's people were responsible for preservation, and every time they found a piece of gold utensils and jewelry, Rockefeller's people would make corresponding records, and then Li Mu's people would be responsible for preservation, and finally all the records of the two families should be correct, and then the final distribution would be carried out.
This seems a bit unrighteous, but in fact it is the best way to hunt for treasure, in front of gold and jewelry, no one can say that it is more noble than whom, or the most primitive pen is the most reliable, this has nothing to do with the most basic trust, Li Mu must trust Rockefeller, Rockefeller also trusts Li Mu, but there are no rules, everyone does things together, always pay attention to the spirit of the contract.
"Ha, I'm okay here, I sleep with those specimens and stones now, I haven't paid so much attention to my own children, you better do your thing." Paul Stewart is a qualified miser, he hasn't slept for a day and a night, but he's still in good spirits.
Compared with Paul Stewart's people, Thomas Toynbee's people are more dangerous, after all, Paul Stewart's people are all veteran mercenaries, they know what to do and what not to do, as long as they send gold and jewelry back to the United States, the benefits that should belong to them will not be less than that.
Thomas Toynbee's people are different, Standard Oil doesn't support idlers, and they are always crammed on an improvised, so Thomas Toynbee hired a lot of local natives to do some basic work of cleaning and screening, and the quality of these natives is definitely not comparable to that of senior mercenaries, so the problem is on Thomas Toynby's side.
Just yesterday, a local aboriginal hid a superb emerald in his mouth and tried to take it away, only to be found by Paul Stewart's mercenaries, in order to examine more thoroughly, and in order to kill the chickens and monkeys, Paul Stewart's mercenaries dissected the greedy native's belly, although no more emerald gems were found, but it has been enough to warn.
It sounds cruel, right, but it's actually normal, in the nineteenth century, Colombia, although it has established a nominal United States, but there are still strong remnants of serfdom in the country, serfdom does not need to be explained, when needed, it is normal for slave owners to kill slaves, even Colombian law, will not protect the interests of those slaves.
A very simple question, as a democratic country, Colombia does not recognize the existence of slaves on its own soil, so slaves are not protected by Colombian law, and even if the torture and killing occur on Colombian soil, Colombia will not take it seriously.
"Ha, aren't your people overseeing? As we agreed, if your people find a violation, I'll lose you five dollars. "Thomas Toynbee doesn't worry about the lives and deaths of those slaves, if those slaves work hard and nothing goes wrong, Thomas Toynbee will not deliberately target them, even if the treasure hunt is over, Thomas Toynbee will not fill all those hired workers into Lake Guatavia in order to seal their mouths, but if those hired workers eat inside and out, Thomas Toynbee is not a good person.
Many tyrannical monarchs, in order to seal the secret will choose to kill all the insiders, of course Thomas Toynbee will not do this, the treasure of the Indians is important, but not so important that hundreds of people will be buried for it, Thomas Toynbee will at most restrict the actions of those hired workers for a period of time after the treasure hunt is completed, as long as all the gold and jewelry are sent out of Colombia, Thomas Toynbee will not care if the Colombian government will settle the score.
Even if it is a settlement after the autumn, Thomas Toynby cannot be found, and the Colombian government should be looking for Rockefeller and Li Mu, who are the main ones.
"Haha, wait and see, I'm going to win all your win." Paul Stewart is very confident, wealth is charming, when a huge amount of gold and jewelry is piled up in front of those ordinary people, Paul Stewart does not believe that those ordinary people can resist the temptation.
It should be said that the treasures in Lake Guadavia far exceeded Li Mu's expectations, at the beginning of the Padmanaba Swamy Temple, Li Mu was from the perspective of the conclusion to push backwards, so it is certain that there are treasures in the underground secret room of the Padmanaba Swamy Temple, which has hundreds of millions of gains.
As for Lake Guadavia, because there is no relevant information, Li Mu is not even sure if the treasure of the Inca Empire is in Lake Guadavia, only because the Colombian government has blocked Lake Guadavia, so Li Mu has taken Lake Guadavia as a key object of suspicion.
Facts have proved that Li Mu's suspicion is correct, in 1914 the British drained the lake, but did not carry out further excavations, Li Mu does not know what the British found in 1914, because there is no relevant historical record, maybe the British did not find anything, maybe the British have found a large amount of gold jewelry, but because of the incompetence of the Colombian government at that time, no one knows what the British found.
This time and space is different, Li Mu single-handedly set up a drilling team, and sent Paul Stewart on-site supervision, from the drilling team began to pump the water of Lake Guadavia, the drilling team has found more than 6,000 pieces of gold utensils and more than 1,000 pieces of jewelry, the value of these gold gatherings and jewelry is immeasurable, because these appliances and jewelry have existed for hundreds or thousands of years, not to mention the value of their own, the historical value contained in it should not be underestimated, the value of gold and jewelry can be measured, but how to measure the historical value?
It's simply not measurable, okay!
Therefore, Li Mu can now be sure that the British in 1914 must have gained a lot, otherwise the British would not have been a leopard, look at the reason why the British stopped the treasure hunt, just because the machinery and equipment were not in place, can this be a reason?
