Chapter 240: Urgent Mission

The next day, Andrei was woken up by Yushchenko's, "Comrade Yakov, call from Moscow." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info "What Andrey immediately went to pick up the microphone, put down the phone, and the group hurried to the airport to fly directly to Tashkent, the capital of Uzbekistan!"

The city of Tashkent is the capital of Uzbekistan and the capital of Tashkent Oblast. In terms of population, Tashkent is the largest city in Central Asia and an important economic and cultural center. Uzbekistan is the political, economic, cultural, and transport center. It is located in the center of an oasis in the eastern part of Uzbekistan, west of the Chatkar Mountains, in the valley of the Chilchik River, a tributary of the right bank of the Syr Darya River. Tashkent was one of the important commercial hubs of the ancient Silk Road, through which the famous Silk Road passed. Zhang Qian, Fa Xian, and Xuanzang in ancient China have all left footprints.

It has a temperate continental climate with mild winters, hot summers, scarce precipitation and abundant sunshine. It is known as the "Sun City". The city is divided into 11 districts. The city centre is the seat of Uzbekistan and the city's administrative organs, as well as a commercial and cultural district. Tashkent is the Uzbek word for Stone Town, which has a history of 2,500 years.

This is an ancient city with a long history, built as early as the second century B.C., and in the sixth century A.D., it was famous for its commerce and handicrafts, and became a necessary place on the ancient Silk Road. It was first recorded in the 11th century.

In 1865 it became a walled city with a population of about 70,000 and was the main center of trade with Russia, which was later incorporated into the Russian Empire. In 1867 it became the administrative center of the Governorate of Turkestan. Since 1930 it has been the capital of the Republic of Uzbekistan.

After getting off the plane, Andrei just had a polite conversation with the local officials who came in a hurry, and then rushed to the outside of the city, because he needed to receive something important next, Andrei said to the two captains next to him: "After getting the things, Captain Dolnikov, you will take a squad and send it to the Urals for me immediately, even if you lose it, you can't have any mistakes in the things, understand?" ”

Dolnikov immediately said: "Comrade General, don't worry, even if I sacrifice this thing, I will never miss the slightest!" Then Andrei looked at Yushchenko and said: "Captain Yushchenko, you set up a guard and don't let anyone who has nothing to do with you!" ”

So what is it that makes Andrei, who is not a big figure but also an inspector of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, attach so much importance to it, because the next thing is to accept one, not to be precise, two important documents, the first is a record of the Manhattan Project, which was transmitted from North America by intelligence officers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the other is a piece of information in South America that was inadvertently revealed by Kuusinen's grandson, that is, the famous King Sipan Treasure!

Peru is an ancient civilization in South America, and its territory is full of ancient cultural sites. There are many great monuments found in Peru, such as Machu Picchu. But it's huge

Most of the sites have no treasures left. On the one hand, it was because Spain, the colonial suzerainty at the time, turned over the territory of Peru and plundered most of the treasure. On the other hand, the theft of cultural relics by the people of Peru is extremely rampant, and the locals rush to grab the cultural relics as soon as they find them.

The tomb chamber of King Sipan was discovered by tomb robbers in a previous life. Around 1987, there were frequent black markets for antiquities from Peru, but definitely not belonging to the Inca civilization. Sensitive archaeologist Dr. Alva realizes that these unique artifacts indicate that another important relic may well have been stolen. He and his assistants rushed to the vicinity of Chicolayo in northern Peru, inquiring and searching, and finally discovered the tomb of King Sipan in 1988. The tomb of King Sipan is hidden in a valley, the location is very secluded, there are no significant signs around it, it can almost be said to be very humble, which becomes the reason why it has not been disturbed. The entrance to the tomb has been opened by tomb robbers, and the entire tomb consists of dozens of burial chambers of various sizes, and Dr. Alva was stunned by the luxurious burial chambers and rich funerary goods.

In order to continue to protect the artifacts from theft, Dr. Alva stubbornly insisted on staying in the tomb, guarding the entrance until officials from the Peruvian National Institute of Antiquities arrived. The local peasants hated Alva for cutting off their money and threatened to kill him at the entrance of the cave. Fortunately, the artifacts were eventually preserved. Later excavations, Dr. Alva unearthed a sealed, never-before-entered tomb of King Sipan, making him a star in the history of world archaeology.

King Sipan was an emperor of the ancient Moche people. The Moche people lived between 100 and 700 AD and were later conquered by the Incas. The Inca civilization has long been the center of ancient Peruvian civilization, and it is hard to imagine that a treasure that eclipses the Inca artifacts has been found in the monuments of the Moche people.

King Sipan's tomb was filled with a dazzling array of funerary goods, and King Sipan's bones were placed in the middle of the tomb, holding a small shovel weighing 0.5 kilograms of pure gold. His head and chest were covered with ornate gold masks, the bones of his arms were covered with fine jewelry, and even his corpse was littered with countless pieces of jewelry and artifacts. King Sipan seems to want to bring all the wealth he has collected in his lifetime to the world of the next life. And that's not all, the most exaggerated thing is that King Sipan was surrounded by dozens of bodies of mourners, including young women, guards, and servants, all of whom were piled with jewelry made of gold and silver. Throughout the tomb, the bones of the deceased were just star-white dotted with a pile of gold and silver jewelry. Dr. Alva said that what had been seen on the black market could not be compared to what had been found in the tomb of King Sipan, and that if the robbers had discovered the main chamber first, the consequences would have been devastating.

The discovery of the tomb of King Sipan is the most glorious discovery of burial artifacts in the entire Western Hemisphere, and is known as the "Tomb of Tutankhamun" in the New World.

And this life is different, because of the huge losses in the Great Patriotic War, now the Soviet Union simply needs to suck blood everywhere, although there are still a lot of gold mines in the huge country, but mining also requires manpower, and now the most lacking thing in the Soviet Union is people!

So as soon as the news reached Beria, the Ministry of the Interior immediately sent a special team to Peru because there was information from later generations, the special team found the treasure and excitedly sent back the detailed information, Andrei knew that in order to ensure the treatment of the tomb robbers, a special team of A troops was sent to accompany him, and everyone in the special team carried weapons, and at the same time bribed the local government officials to make them pretend not to know about the situation, and now the American boss The United States still knows nothing? Next, Andrei had to ensure that the two documents were safely sent to the Urals, and then the Ministry of Internal Affairs would have high-level people to accept them, and Kuusinin's grandson was awarded a medal for this, and later even Andrey and they also had a share, this batch was not only gold but also cultural relics, and later part of the collection was sold for the Soviet Union in exchange for valuable foreign exchange, and this wealth also played a role in the post-war recovery.

At this moment, Andre is uneasy, this old man is really addicted to robbery, this is simple, of course, the allure of gold is not small, and the wealth is moving!
