Chapter One Thousand and Sixty-Seven

Amid the deafening music, a train is slowly entering the train station.

When the train stopped and the passengers on it also walked out of the carriage, Yan Shao and some other people stepped forward to greet Situ Nan and Li Ji and others.

Although they had long known that the country would use very high standards to welcome the return of themselves and others, when they saw Yan Shao and other high-level officials of the National Socialist Government standing on the platform, Situ Nan, Li Ji and the others couldn't help but be stunned.

There is no way, although their archaeological team is indeed supported by Yan Shao behind the scenes, but this is only indirect after all. In other words, for Situ Nan and them, Yan Shao still belongs to the kind of existence that is high up, no matter how big their brains are, they never thought that Yan Shao would come to greet them in person...

For a while, they inevitably don't know what to do.

Compared with the two of them, the man surnamed Zhang was even more unbearable than the middle-aged man. There is no way, after all, for the two people who were born in the National Defense Army, Yan Shao is no different from the gods, and now his god suddenly appeared in front of him, and he still greeted him, considering the suddenness of this incident, how could the two not be excited.

As for why these two people are also here...

In fact, the news of King Tutankhamun's tomb has now spread all over the world. In other words, almost everyone in the world already knows about the discovery of King Tutankhamun's tomb.

As the only pharaoh's tomb that was not visited by tomb robbers at the time of its discovery, King Tutankhamun's tomb is a very important aspect to the study of the history of ancient Egypt. One could even say. The discovery of this mausoleum is definitely one of the greatest archaeological discoveries of the beginning of the century―――――― there is no other.

If it were in the coming years. Perhaps there will be some discoveries comparable to the tomb of King Tutankhamun. But at least in this era, there has not been a single archaeological discovery that can be compared to this mausoleum.

It is for this reason that it is also possible. The discovery of the mausoleum can be said to have caused a sensation in the whole world.

Of course, along with the sensation that caused a sensation all over the world, there were also some things that happened during the excavation. For example, the British tried to 'eat black', and then Situ Nan returned to China with the funeral goods of the mausoleum...

In any case, as the people who brought the archaeological team back to China, the man surnamed Zhang and his former comrade-in-arms can also be called heroes to some extent, and naturally they are treated like heroes.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

"Welcome home, Professor Situ and a few others..."Walking in front of Situ Nan and the others, Yan Shao's face showed a smile. Your discoveries in Egypt. On behalf of the government and the people of the country, I would like to congratulate you and thank you for your contribution to the cause of human archaeology as a whole..."

Saying this, Yan Shao had already stretched out his right hand and shook hands with Situ Nan and the others one by one.

At the same time, at the moment of contact with Yan Shao's right hand, Situ Nan and the others inevitably became excited.

Maybe they are all well-known in their respective fields, and they are even Taishan Beidou-level figures. But compared with Yan Shao, the level is still too different after all.

Especially the man surnamed Zhang and another middle-aged man, they worshiped Yan Shao as a god, and now their excitement is self-evident.

Face-to-face. Yan Shao could naturally see the excitement in their hearts.

Yan Shao was not surprised at all by this, after all, Yan Shao was still very confident in his influence. For the most part, though, Yan Shao would prefer to be influenced by women rather than men. But anyway. It's better for someone to be affected than not to have any, isn't it?

Therefore, with a smile that was almost 'professional', Yan Shao greeted everyone present one by one.

In fact, Yan Shao is very happy about this. After all, they discovered the tomb of King Tutankhamun, the greatest archaeological discovery of the century so far. did not let Yan Shao look forward to a game in vain―――――― as for the funds invested in advance. Yan Shao didn't care much about it, after all, at this time, Yan Shao was only poor and only had money.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

After Yan Shao exchanged pleasantries with Situ Nan and others, some other high-level government officials who followed Yan Shao soon also stepped forward to greet him.

Seeing that these high-level government officials were so kind to themselves and others at this time, Situ Nan and the others naturally had a feeling of flattery.

And after welcoming Situ Nan and the others on the platform, they were also quickly sent to a banquet specially prepared for them―――――― a reception banquet...

In fact, at this time, Situ Nan and others have become sensational characters in the world.

This is not just because they discovered the relationship between King Tutankhamun's tomb, in fact, it was the paranormal events from the Valley of the Kings that first turned the world's attention to the Valley of the Kings. That is, the incident in which the archaeological team disappeared at the same time as the British army and a large number of tomb robbers.

Undoubtedly, in the Valley of the Kings, a place where the ancient Egyptian pharaohs were buried, it is indeed easy to attract attention when such a thing suddenly pops up. It's a big blow for many, especially considering that there are often curses from Egyptian emperors in this place...

For many, at least, the curses inside those tombs are not unfamiliar. Of course, no one cares about this, after all, there are countless tomb robbers who have excavated these tombs in the past years.

If the curse had worked, the grave robbers would have been dead long ago.

And with such an ineffective curse, it is naturally impossible for a few people to care.

In fact, before King Tutankhamun's tomb was discovered and the curse inside the tomb was spread more and more divinely, I am afraid that not many people would care about this curse.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Of course. After all, the world could not be blinded forever, so this rumor related to the curse of the pharaoh was quickly debunked.

And the reason why it will be debunked. It was entirely because Situ Nan and they finally arrived in Iraq, a very safe place for them.

Over here. They held a press conference and exposed everything that had happened in the Valley of the Kings in front of a large number of reporters.

According to their account, they were carrying out a very routine archaeological work, and after great effort, they succeeded in discovering the tomb of King Tutankhamun―――――― a pharaoh's tomb that had not been discovered for several years.

At the same time, they also found a large number of precious funerary goods there.

Because the mausoleum has never been patronized by tomb robbers, the burial goods in the mausoleum are almost intact. As many as 5,000 pieces of funerary goods, it can also be said to have set a record high.

The discovery of the mausoleum is naturally a cause for rejoicing. However, just when Situ Nan and others were moving the burial goods in the mausoleum out of the mausoleum. Another archaeological team that competed with it, the British, was jealous.

Considering that Egypt was a British colony at that time, it was only natural that some of these British people contacted the local garrison. With the help of the army, a British army soon arrived in the Valley of the Kings, in a vain attempt to rob the archaeological team of all their discoveries, and possibly even murder them.

Thankfully, however, the archaeological team itself has always had an armed force dedicated to the security of the archaeological team. When they were in danger, the armed force emerged from the cliffs. An ambush was carried out on the British.

After discovering that the Chinese had the upper hand, the British, albeit reluctantly, could only be captured.

――――――――――――――――――――――――

If things only develop here, then from a certain point of view. It's over.

At least their archaeological work has not been looted by others, and their safety has been guaranteed.

However, Situ Nan and others at that time were concerned about another thing. That is, Egypt at that time was a colony of the British. If this matter is revealed, will it attract retaliation from the British?

Although the archaeological team itself also has a relatively strong combat ability. But compared with the British, who are the head snakes, there is still a very big gap after all, isn't it?

It can even be said if the British really intend to deal with them. Then they would never have been able to make it out of Egypt alive.

Although Situ Nan was not willing to doubt the moral level of the British, it was important after all, and Situ Nan also needed to think about the safety of the entire archaeological team. Coupled with the fact that they carry countless treasures, they must be careful.

And in order to ensure the safety of his group, after some consideration, Situ Nan and the others finally came up with a very safe way.

The solution was simple, let Situ Nan and his family return to China with all the burial goods, and then publish this astonishing archaeological finding.

Because only in China can their security be guaranteed.

The problem is, it's easy for them to go back, even if there are countless funeral goods.

But what about those Britons? If they had been released, wouldn't the British have known what was happening here in minutes. But if you bring them, what about more than 100 people, after all, it's not more than 100 scraps, who knows if there will be any trouble? even stole a few, which eventually attracted the covetousness of the British.

It was precisely because of these considerations that Situ Nan and others finally made a decision.

At the same time, this was also the safest way for Situ Nan and them, which was to drive all the British into the mausoleum, and then block the entrance and camouflage.

In this way, it also ensured that on the way back to China by boat, the British would not be able to explain their discovery to the outside world under any circumstances, let alone attract an attack on them.

On the other hand, they left the Englishmen with some tools, plenty of food and supplies, and a ventilated place on the mausoleum. Make sure they don't suffocate inside due to lack of oxygen.

The rest of the story is known to almost everyone, and they were on ships. He returned to Iraq from Egypt very smoothly, carrying a large number of funerary goods.

Eventually, they held a press conference in Iraq. caused a sensation in the whole world, because the whole story is so twisted and bizarre, and at the same time even has a certain element of fiction, it is easy to attract readers' likes.

The most important point is that this matter also involves the United Kingdom, which is the largest power, and China, one of the strongest countries in the world...

This qiΔ“ is so eye-catching.

Especially in this matter, the British also played an inglorious role.

After all, normal archaeological activities are nothing, but in the case of the other party, the mausoleum and funerary goods have been discovered. The British still want to come to the black and eat the black, so it's too immoral, right?

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

After Situ Nan's press conference was announced, it naturally caused a sensation.

But on the other hand, although Situ Nan did not accuse the British government, the archaeological team and the British army he accused were all British after all. Therefore, the British government soon unofficially refuted Situ Nan's accusations, and instead believed that Situ Nan used force to snatch the burial goods in the mausoleum from the hands of the British archaeological team after the British archaeological team discovered the mausoleum...

To put it simply. It's a backbite.

In fact, the British government itself is quite convinced of this accusation, after all, it is impossible for the local garrison to be dispatched for no reason. And before the sortie, David? Dean had also told his subordinates that he was going out to make a fortune, but these words were all in his report to the British government...

And so it goes. The result is self-evident.

It's just that this matter is still too embarrassing after all, so the British government can only grit its teeth and stick to such a path.

Anyway, according to the Chinese, people are imprisoned in mausoleums. Just have to wait until they are rescued. And then let them 'clarify' according to the statements provided by the British government, and then even if they can't do it. At least it can make a balance of power, right?

It's just that just when the British were thinking so. They didn't expect that Situ Nan and they had also launched a few witnesses, and they were very favorable witnesses.

These witnesses, that is, Howard and David? Dean et al...

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

In fact, similar things have happened in history, to put it simply, that is, a certain party has done something bad, but thinks that the person is dead, even if he did it, no one can prove it, so he lies openly.

But the result? But it was lightly debunked by the other party―――――― because the other party had a living witness in his hands, and this was a witness that the other party thought was dead, but was actually still alive.

This incident is the famous U-2 incident in history.

Of course, he has another name, and that is the U-2 crash.

There is no doubt that intelligence is very important for any country, especially the intelligence of the enemy. At a time when spy satellites have not yet become the real main force, spy reconnaissance planes have become the main force of reconnaissance.

And among them, the U-2, like the SR-21, can be called a legendary storage zΓ i.

The former dominated almost the entire first half of the Cold War period, while the latter was the second half.

But what's really amazing is that the latter is much better than the former in terms of performance and pre-process. However, it was the latter who was the first to retire from active service, rather than the former with relatively backward performance, which made people feel a little surprised.

As for the so-called U-2 crash, in July 1957, US President Dwight ? Eisenhower asked Pakistan to allow the United States to build a base for a secret intelligence agency in Pakistan, as well as a base for U-2 reconnaissance planes to take off and land.

In the end, it was decided to build the Peshawar Air Base 16 kilometers away from the city of Peshawar, and the entire building was under the jurisdiction of the US National Security Agency, and there was a huge communication interceptor in it. The location of the base was excellent for the United States, as its proximity to the Soviet Union's border with Central Asia allowed U.S. intelligence forces to monitor Soviet missile testing and infrastructure, as well as intercept classified telegraphs with each other. The U-2 reconnaissance plane was also allowed to take off from the Pakistan Air Force Peshawar airfield. Gain vital intelligence through high-altitude espionage operations. It was also one of the most effective ways to monitor the Soviet Union by satellite.

These actions are a clear violation of international law or relevant air law. But due to the fact that the USSR was still immature in military technology at that time, only anti-aircraft missiles could reach the high altitude at which the U-2 reconnaissance aircraft were located. And it is difficult for fighters to enter such high-altitude interception. In the face of the U-2 reconnaissance plane, which was difficult to shoot, the Soviet Union had long endured this insult, which could only be quietly monitored by radar.

There is no doubt that this is definitely a great insult to Soviet Russia, and it is for this reason that Soviet Russia has always wanted to completely deal with those damned spies.

And then a reconnaissance operation by the American side gave them the opportunity to retaliate.

During a U-2 reconnaissance operation against Soviet Russia, the Soviet Russian side fired at least 14 anti-aircraft missiles, one of which damaged the U-2 reconnaissance plane that invaded Soviet Russia at that time.

It was Gary who was flying the plane at that time? Powell, after the plane was damaged, Powell immediately chose to parachute.

However. Despite having in his possession a modified $1 coin that he had obtained during training, containing a neurotoxin stabbing needle that could be used to kill himself, Ghalry? Powell didn't end up using it. At the same time, he did not detonate a small amount of explosives in the cabin to blow up the plane as required, which eventually became an important piece of evidence in his investigation in Soviet airspace.

It should be noted that in Gary, who is a spy for the CIA? More than four days after Powell lost contact with Powell on a mission to the Soviet Union on May 1, NASA issued a very detailed press release mentioning a U-2 conducting data gathering on weather research. Lost trace. In the press release, they deduced that the driver may have lost consciousness, but that the autopilot was still working, and even lied that 'the driver had experienced an oxygen supply problem on the emergency channel.' ’。

To make this more convincing, on May 6, 1960, a U-2 reconnaissance plane was painted in the colors of NASA's fuselage. and show the aircraft to the media.

At the same time, after learning of this report, the Soviet and Russian sides announced to other countries that Soviet Russia had shot down a spy plane. Of course. The Russians were very clever not to mention anything related to the pilot, which also made the American side mistakenly believe that the pilot was dead.

The U.S. government immediately claimed that it was just a weather survey plane. Definitely not a reconnaissance aircraft. He also declared that the US side "absolutely did not deliberately violate the airspace of the Soviet Union, neither in the past nor in the future." For this. The U.S. side also grounded all U-2s in an emergency manner and conducted an inspection for oxygen system problems.

And it was at this time that the Soviet Russian side made a very striking statement ...

"I must tell you a secret. I didn't mean to say that the pilot was still alive when I first reported it, huh...... Now look at how many stupid things the Americans say. ”

There is no doubt that when these remarks were announced, one can imagine how embarrassed and humiliated the Americans were...

The same is true now, Situ Nan deliberately did not say whether he returned to China with some people, but only claimed that those people were locked up in the mausoleum. This also led the British to think that everyone was inside, and then made such a statement.

But now with Situ Nan's statement, this is almost about to become a naked slap in the face.

For the behavior of Situ Nan and others, the British were naturally ashamed.

But on the other hand, they didn't have anything to do about what Situ Nan and others did. Whoever told them that they had returned to their own territory, no matter how powerful the British were, obviously could not do whatever they wanted on Chinese territory. What's more, they are also under strict protection from the Chinese government.

For a moment, the British were disgraced, while at the same time, the Chinese side was showing the series of cultural relics brought back from Egypt in red light...

For Situ Nan, this is definitely a harvest trip.

And after the press conference, Situ Nan and the others took the railway and returned to China with boxes of funeral goods... (To be continued......)
