Chapter 347: The Tsar's Treasure
Luo Ying and others rushed to Topolsk, and at this time the city was already in chaos, the news of Kolchak's defeat in Omsk had reached here, and the nobles, monks, and capitalists who supported the tsar fled with soft and crazy frenzy.
They did not have a precise direction, but only as far away from the red area as possible, and the majority of the party underground in the city also openly came out, developed their strength, and prepared to wait for the arrival of the Red Army, and there were many more routs, bandits, and hooligans who took advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune and rob the fleeing capitalists, in short, it was a chaotic city.
Luo Ying quickly got in touch with the intelligence officer who was still sticking to the local area, this intelligence officer was codenamed Mao Sui, and he left a famous figure in history, which happened to match his current mission.
"After our investigation, we found that the jewelry artifacts were placed in twenty large boxes, all of which were hidden in the basement of a church, and the White Russian soldiers who originally guarded the jewels were mixed in with the majority party, due to the intervention of these majority party personnel, this batch of materials was not shipped out, and now the two sides are in a stalemate, we must act quickly, get the jewelry in our hands, the majority party will arrive at any time, our time is very short!"
"What is our mission?"
"Grab the basement room, we have prepared a truck, transport the jewelry out, load it into the truck, and you will escort the jewelry to evacuate according to the prescribed route, and our personnel will pick you up along the way!" After Mao Sui explained the task clearly, Luo Ying and the others nodded yes, and after recovering their strength a little, they found a small house behind the church under Mao Sui's guidance.
"It's the entrance to the basement, and there are about two dozen guards inside!"
While he was talking, the door of the small room was suddenly opened, and a Russian ran out in front, and there was a person chasing after him, and the two Russians quickly scuffled together, at this time, Luo Ying and the others' pupils suddenly tightened, and the coat of the person who ran away in front was removed, and in an instant, a lot of red, blue, and green gems rolled out, as well as a lot of pearl necklaces, bracelets, rings, etc.
Luo Ying has also seen the market, but he has never seen so many such exquisite jewelry, and it seems that this is just taken out by hand, and there are even more amazing things in it, the tsar is known for his greed, and it is true!
Luo Ying was also not polite, and hurriedly beckoned his subordinates to rush over, they did not use guns, but used daggers to solve the two Russians in an instant, and then packed up all the jewels, Luo Ying took the lead, and ten team members followed closely, and the others were all sentry outside.
Through the narrow passage, Luo Ying and they touched into the basement, although it is a basement, but the scale is large, it is simply an underground warehouse, walked dozens of meters, the sound of the Russian quarrel inside came out, it turned out that these guards guarding the treasure had a conflict, it seems that someone advocated that the treasure should be divided, and then everyone dispersed, and some people advocated that the treasure should be protected intact.
On the side of the largest room there are more than a dozen large wooden boxes that are more than one person high, one of which has been opened, and flashes of dazzling brilliance from time to time in the dim basement, Luo Ying These people have undergone the most rigorous training, and their psychological quality is the best, but these people almost screamed out, and a box full of dazzling treasures.
Seeing that the members of the team on his side were all straight-eyed, Luo Ying also knew that he had to cut quickly, otherwise the morale of the army on his side would be scattered, Luo Ying held the submachine gun tightly, and the gunshots rang out in an instant, and the dozen or so Russians were still a little dazed, and they didn't know what was going on, and they had already been beaten into a sieve.
Luo Ying and the others quickly solved these Russians, and they gave a few shots to those who were not dead one by one, and after killing everyone, Luo Ying and the others also had straight eyes, the number of these treasures is unimaginable, and each of them is the best of the best, and the things that can be valued by the tsar will definitely not be defective.
Luo Ying barely maintained a trace of clarity, and fired several shots at the top of the secret room, "Brothers, although these treasures are moving, but I also want to remind everyone that you must have a life flower, we are now in Russia, the stolen Tsar's treasure, as long as it is discovered by the Russians, we are all dead, and now only by sending the treasure back to China safely can there be a way to live, Junzuo has promised that as long as everyone completes the task, not only you, but even your children and grandchildren can enjoy the special treatment of the country, Everyone has been born and died for so many years, don't be confused about this kind of thing! ”
At this juncture, it was indeed necessary to sound the alarm for these people, and they really calmed down, and put the scattered treasures back into the box, at this time, the soldiers who were stationed in other positions also solved the Russians who escaped, a total of twenty-six Russians were not spared, in fact, the Russian soldiers who were originally guarding here had a battalion, but after Kolchak was defeated, these people did not know that they were guarding such an important treasure, so they fled one after another, and there were only about 20 people left who knew the details.
Each box was extremely heavy, fortunately, some special trolleys had been prepared to transport boxes of jewelry out, and then quickly sent to the truck, and finally after checking the secret room again and again, it was found that there was nothing missing, Luo Ying and the others left Topolsk with these trucks, and these special combat team members tried their best to avoid looking directly at the wooden boxes, they were afraid that they would not be able to stand this huge temptation.
After Mao Sui and others withdrew, he planted 500 kilograms of explosives in the basement of the church, blowing up the entire church to the sky.
After leaving Topolsk, Luo Ying's heartbeat has never regained calm, if these jewels are converted into dollars, I am afraid that it will cost more than 100 million, these treasures are almost more than twice the reparations of the Treaty of Shimonoseki, almost equivalent to a year and a half of financial income in the southwest, this is definitely a shocking amount of money, Luo Ying has a feeling of worthwhile life at this time, I am afraid that even the emperor in the past may not have seen so many good things, of course, Luo Ying did not know that there was an even more amazing batch of gold from Omsk to the Far East at this moment, If you know the amount of gold, I'm afraid it's even more difficult to help yourself.
The convoy drove all the way to the east, their destination was Kobdo, where there were Xu Shuzheng's border guards to answer, this road was not easy to walk, did not go far, they encountered several bandits one after another, all came to rob, if the other party is small, Luo Ying They will quickly eliminate it, if the number is large, Luo Ying's convoy also has a bribed Belarusian military officer, by him came forward, he said that this is a convoy to transport grain to Belarus, after all, the east is still the world of Belarus, it will not be too difficult, as long as a little benefit, to be able to pass safely.
Therefore, Luo Ying and the others walked more than 500 kilometers in more than three days, and they had already walked a third of the way, but then they fell into big trouble, they are now walking in the white desert of Russia, the snow is more than half a meter thick, and the temperature is dropping sharply, although they have undergone cold-resistant training, and they are also wrapped in thick fur clothes, but they still can't resist the attack of the cold wind.
What's even worse is that the truck in the thick snow is getting slower and slower, and constantly skidding, is irritable, the convoy suddenly stopped, it turned out that the first car fell into the snow again, all the soldiers got out of the car, trying to get the truck out, but under the snow is a deep ditch, just stuck in the front wheel, can not move a step at all.
Luo Ying suddenly sweated, this unlucky place in Russia will be dark at two or three o'clock in the afternoon in winter, if they are trapped here and can't get the supplies pre-arranged by the intelligence officers, they can only have two choices, one is to freeze to death, the other is to be torn apart by a hungry wolf, only at this time Luo Ying feels that no matter how good the treasure is, it is just a hot stove and a bowl of hot dumplings.
While they were anxious, there was a sudden sound of horses galloping not far away, and a convoy of about two hundred horses, all pulling specially reinforced sleighs, came running.
The leader was an uncle in his fifties, and after the code was matched with Luo Ying and others, he immediately asked Luo Ying to put the items on the sleigh and pull them all away with horses.
"Little Housheng, come and take a few sips, this is Russian vodka, it's not as good as our wine, it's strong enough, drink the fire in the stomach, and the big Russian nose points to this to survive the winter!"
Luo Ying took the flask and looked at the pot of vodka carefully, shouldering this kind of task, Luo Ying didn't dare to close his eyes even if he slept, even if this uncle could match all the codes, it couldn't guarantee that it was completely reliable, and after checking that there was no problem, Luo Ying took a big sip.
The flaming vodka began to burn down the esophagus, and the body that had been frozen by the cold wind seemed to be alive again, not to mention how comfortable it was.
"Hehe, little offspring, what a lot of alcohol, I've been running business in Russia for several years, and I haven't seen vodka drunk so violently!"
Luo Ying was still a little unsatisfied, but he also knew that he couldn't get drunk at this time, just warm up a little, he was very curious about this sledding team, and he was able to find himself so accurately, China's intelligence officers are really hand-eyed, Luo Ying asked with a smile: "Uncle, running business here?" ”
"Well, since the beginning of the war with the white-skinned pigs, I began to run the trade, transporting cattle and horses from Mongolia and other places to Russia, it is said that the old Maozi was beaten enough by the old Germans, and the materials were consumed quickly, we made money by selling this, speaking of which, I have never encountered this job of yours, someone paid a high price for us to pick up people in the snow, if it wasn't for the silver for the white flowers, I thought it was to make us happy, but it didn't take long for your convoy to come!"
Luo Ying's heart was also awe-struck at this time, he was almost certain that there must be a secret team not far from him who was monitoring his every move, and they also reported their positions and the difficulties they faced, so that they could have such a sled team to pick him up, but in other words, if they wanted to be greedy for a little treasure, they were afraid that they would have become dead corpses at this time!
